Chapter 51: Lu Siyuan: They're Ugly, Don’t Look!
Inside the tea room, several elderly gentlemen were chatting gleefully.
“Ning, are you hungry? Let’s go eat, the meal is about to start!” Old Master Lu said kindly.
“Sure, let’s go. A Yan is hungry!” Wan Ning Chu said, pouting charmingly as she looked at Lu Siyen.
Lu Siyen nodded in cooperation. Alright, the little one is being mischievous again!
A hundred-meter-long table was filled with guests.
After the four elderly gentlemen took their seats, everyone else gradually settled down.
As a newcomer to the elite circle, Wan Ning Chu inevitably became the topic of conversation at the banquet.
Some admired her good fortune, some sought to befriend her, others felt jealousy and resentment.
Wan Ning Chu paid them no mind and enjoyed being fed by Lu Siyen throughout.
“A Yan, you eat too, you must be hungry!”
“Yes, I am! But I want to eat you even more!” Lu Siyen pressed close to Wan Ning Chu, teasingly.
Wan Ning Chu bumped his leg under the table, playfully scolding, “Stop fooling around!”
At that moment, the conspicuous Lu Siqing came over, holding peeled shrimp, delicately spiked fish, and sliced steak, squeezing between the two.
“Sis, eat this!” His bright eyes held an expectant tone, his expression triumphant.
Wan Ning Chu could only accept this filial affection.
“Qingbao, have you eaten enough? Do you want to stay here at grandpa’s place tonight?”
“Yes! Sis promised me, we have a secret too!” His eyes kept glancing at Lu Siyen.
Lu Siyen’s face instantly darkened.
“Lu Siqing, don’t cling to your sister-in-law, she hasn’t finished eating yet!”
But Lu Siqing wasn’t listening at all.
“I have a gift for sis. Brother, you can’t hog her!”
“She’s my wife!”
“She’s my sister-in-law!”
Wan Ning Chu had no choice but to intervene.
“Husband, we’ll stay here tonight, in your room!” Then she looked at Lu Siqing, “Eat a bit more, then we’ll rest!”
Only then did Lu Siyen and Lu Siqing end their childish standoff.
Opposite them, Shen Zelin and Jiang Yundu stared with their mouths agape.
“Old Jiang, pinch me. Am I dreaming? Was that person just now the King of Hell, Lu?” Shen Zelin said dazedly.
“Ouch! That hurts!”
“So I wasn’t imagining it. It was really him! From now on, don’t mess with sis, or our good days are over!” Jiang Yundu added another taboo to his list.
“That’s for sure. From today on, I’m going to cling to sis’s thigh! Don’t try to steal her from me!”
“Mom, I just remembered, my dad told me a few days ago to pursue Ye family’s goddaughter. Isn’t that sis? So my dad didn’t know she’s Old Lu’s wife back then? My dad almost got me killed. I’m going to demand compensation for emotional distress!” Shen Zelin patted his chest, relieved.
Had he followed his father’s orders, the grass on his grave next year would be three feet high!
“Heh! Uncle Shen has a great idea! Hey, hurry and send Old Lu the money, sis said the ticket money for the show is one million!” Jiang Yundu quickly pulled out his phone.
“You don’t mention it and I’d have forgotten. Lend me one million!” Shen Zelin displayed his own QR code.
“Damn, your Shen family is bankrupt. Can you stop milking me, the only sheep I have!” Jiang Yundu guarded his phone and hurriedly pocketed it after transferring the money.
“Hmph! Stingy!”
They didn’t even understand this little joy! I have plenty of money!
Suddenly, Lu Siyen’s phone received three payment notifications.
“Wife?”
“Here’s some pocket money I earned for you—from those two over there, plus selling Professor Qin a pill! See? Isn’t your wife a little money-making genius?” Wan Ning Chu wore an expression that said, “Come on, praise me!”
Lu Siyen wanted nothing more than to carry her straight to the bedroom.
“Mm, my wife is the best, everywhere she goes!”
His voice husky—Wan Ning Chu knew him too well!
But she really hadn’t done anything yet!
“Good boy, it’ll be over soon, then I’ll give it to you!” Wan Ning Chu whispered softly, bowing her head.
“Okay!” Lu Siyen was obedient to an unbearable degree, making one want to tease him.
Meanwhile, Shen Zelin and Jiang Yundu stared at the two, not knowing what they were saying but feeling as if they had just been fed a meal of dog food—completely stuffed!
They wouldn’t need to eat dinner!
“Old Lu definitely won’t pay attention to us tonight. Let’s leave. After all, we already congratulated Grandpa Lu on his birthday!”
Shen Zelin crossed his arms and asked Jiang Yundu.
Then the two rose in tacit agreement.
Before leaving, they deliberately caught Lu Siyen’s attention.
Wan Ning Chu also noticed, thinking it wasn’t a bad thing for Lu Siyen to have such childish friends.
“Wife, they’re ugly, don’t look at them!”
This was said to Wan Ning Chu but meant for the two across the table.
“Old Jiang, did Old Lu say we’re ugly?”
“I’m ugly? You’re ugly?”
“We’re obviously the top representatives of good looks, okay?”
“You’re also a huge star with millions of fans!”
“I can’t take it anymore, Old Jiang, call an ambulance! I’m so angry I’m going to faint!”
Jiang Yundu frowned and pulled them away. The act was a bit much.
Wan Ning Chu leaned close, her voice soft and sweet.
“Hmm, my husband A Yan is the most handsome!”
Lu Siyen’s lips twitched barely perceptibly.
The banquet went smoothly afterward, with no further incidents.
Meanwhile, Lu Shaoheng, who had fallen asleep in the villa, woke up.
Lying on the sofa, his first thought was that something was wrong.
But no matter how he thought back, he only remembered feeling sleepy and falling asleep!
He strode out of the villa to find the servant in charge of drinks, asking if anything unusual happened.
The servant, having been instructed beforehand, assured him everything was normal, nothing had occurred.
Only then did he feel at ease.
He planned to find someone later to test the parasite insect!
Just as he entered the banquet hall, he happened upon Lu Siyen holding Wan Ning Chu’s waist and leading Lu Siqing out.
“Big brother, sister-in-law, Qingbao!” Lu Shaoheng greeted innocently.
Still the same carefree, gentle, and polite demeanor.
If Wan Ning Chu hadn’t heard him make a phone call with her own ears, she might have been fooled.
Lu Siyen and Wan Ning Chu nodded in response.
“Brother Shaoheng!” Lu Siqing greeted politely.
After their brief exchange, the group separated.
Out of their sight, Lu Shaoheng stared at their backs with such intensity it seemed he might bore a hole through them.
Why did Lu Siyen get everything in the Lu family while he was stuck with a small company?
He was also a grandson of the Lu family; the grandfather’s favoritism was just too blatant!
So whatever he did from now on, no one was to blame but them!
They had simply never treated him as family.
Old Master Lu’s 70th birthday banquet ended amidst the guests’ repeated blessings.
The elderly gentlemen also made appointments with Old Master Lu to spend time with Wan Ning Chu.
When Wan Ning Chu found out, she teased, saying grandpa had now become her secretary, scheduling her agenda fully.
The next day, she planned to go with Mrs. Ye to check on her mother’s matters.
Her godmother was one of the few friends and family her mother had left.
