Chapter 775: Your Sister-in-law Said That She Will Personally Prepare Soup for Us Today

Mrs. Lu snatched all the words he had to say out of his mouth and he could only say helplessly, “It’s New Year’s Eve tomorrow and no matter what, we should spend the day with the whole family.”

“Ha! Lu Jianlin, let me ask you, who called you?”

“Big Brother.”

“What did he say?”

“For everyone to return back during New Year’s Eve to have a reunion dinner.”

“What did your Father say?”

Lu Jianlin kept quiet.

Mrs. Lu continued to sneer. “Did your brother agree to call Yiyi over without the consent of your Father? When he was telling you about this, did he tell you to remind Yiyi to be obedient and endure what needs to be endured?”

Lu Jianlin still kept quiet.

The longer Mrs. Lu looked at his expression, the angrier she got. She simply pushed him aside and said, “Don’t loiter around in front of me. I get angry whenever I see you.”

Lu Jianlin: “…”

Mrs. Lu said, “In any case, Yiyi will not be going over.”

“We can’t possibly let her stay at home alone.”

“Who says she’s going to stay at home alone? I’ll accompany her tomorrow.”

Lu Jianlin furrowed his eyebrows.

While they were having a meal, Lu Jianlin told the rest about this matter.

Before Zi Yi and Lu Jingye said anything, Mrs. Lu said, “Yiyi and I will be staying at home tomorrow.”

Zi Yi would not go to the main residence no matter what. She did not say anything and buried her head as she continued eating.

Lu Jingye scooped a bowl of soup for her and said, “I’ll stay at home with Yiyi tomorrow.”

Lu Jianlin furrowed his eyebrows and looked at him.

Lu Jingye said, “I will visit the main residence tomorrow to pay Grandfather a visit and return after that. I won’t leave Yiyi alone at home.”

Lu Jianlin furrowed his eyebrows even more tightly.

Mrs. Lu felt comfortable deep down inside. “That’s right. Since Yiyi married Jingye, she is the closest family member to him right now. Why should Jingye abandon his closest family member to accompany someone who treats him coldly?”

Lu Jianlin glanced at Mrs. Lu. He wanted to say something but could not bear to do so.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yunxiao also spoke up. “I will go visit Grandfather with Brother tomorrow but I will also come back and have the reunion dinner here.”

Mrs. Lu was delighted at his response and said to Lu Jianlin, “That’s right. Since you are your Father’s son, you can go and accompany him for the reunion dinner tomorrow.”

Lu Jianlin felt weary internally and he did not have an appetite to eat anything. However, he could not bear to say anything either.

After all, everything was a result of his Father’s actions.

Originally, the Lu Family members had already discussed how they were planning to have their reunion dinner tomorrow. Unexpectedly, Zi Yi received Dou Jingning’s phone call in the afternoon.

Dou Jingning asked over the phone, “Yiyi, where will you be having reunion dinner tomorrow?”

Zi Yi said, “At home.”

Dou Jingning seemed to have guessed her response and said, “Come over for the reunion dinner tomorrow. We’ve prepared your chopsticks already.”

Zi Yi felt her heart warming up and she smiled. “It’s okay. Mom, Ah Jing, and Yunxiao will be staying at home with me tomorrow.”

Dou Jingning’s tone relaxed upon hearing what she said. “That’s good that you have someone to accompany you. You should come back early on the second day of the New Year.”

The custom here was that the married daughter would return to her family on the second day.

Zi Yi happily and cheerfully agreed; they then ended the call.

After the call was disconnected, Zi Yi received calls from many people. Everyone was asking her to come out to play tomorrow.

Other than having reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve, everyone would also ask each other out to have fun.

On New Year’s Eve, the Lu Family’s father and sons returned to the main residence early in the morning.

When Patriarch Lu saw that they had come over so early, he was happy deep down inside.

However, when he saw that two other people were absent, his expression turned dark.

He was still unable to speak.

Lu Jianlin said to him, “Father, I will accompany you for the reunion dinner today.”

Patriarch Lu looked at him and his eyes seemed to be saying: “If not at home, where else do you plan to have your reunion dinner?”

Lu Jianlin continued to speak. “However, Ah Jing and Yunxiao will be going home to accompany their Mother and Yiyi.”

The moment Patriarch Lu heard his words, his face instantly turned cloudy. He angrily pointed at the two brothers while his chest heaved up and down.

Eldest Master Lu who was standing next to them shouted, “How is this appropriate?! Our family is not having reunion dinner together and instead is having two reunion dinners? If this were to spread out, the Lu Family would lose face!”

Patriarch Lu angrily gasped and tried to utter sounds from his throat to curse them. In the end, he was so angry that he grabbed the hot teacup next to him and threw it at the father and sons.

Crash!

The tea splashed around and formed a pool of liquid on the floor.

The tea had spilled on to Lu Jianlin, Lu Jingye, and Lu Yunxiao’s pants.

Lu Jianlin’s expression was not good either.

Just then, Lu Jingye said, “Grandfather, ever since you chased me out of the Lu Family, I should not be coming back. However, as you are my elder, I must do my duty. If you do not wish to see me, I can leave right away, but please take care of your health.”

Patriarch Lu felt that Lu Jingye was satirizing him and his face revealed extreme anger.

Third Master Lu and Lu Ming had also come back today and none of them had uttered a single word as they stood at the side.

Eldest Master Lu had an unhappy expression, but he did not say anything. After all, the Lu Family was not as powerful as before and he still wanted to ease the relationship between the two families.

After Lu Zhiheng and Yang Yuelan were severely lectured by Eldest Master Lu in private, they also stood there and dared not make a sound.

Patriarch Lu was so angry that he was about to faint.

“AHHHH!!”

He angrily pointed at the door.

Everyone understood his meaning. He was asking the two brothers to get lost.

And so, Lu Jingye and Lu Yunxiao really left.

On the car ride back home, Lu Yunxiao looked at Lu Jingye who had a calm expression. “Brother, don’t be upset.”

“I’m not upset.” Lu Jingye took out his phone and looked at it. The wallpaper of his phone was a photo Zi Yi had taken in the past. The smile on her face was so bright and beautiful that it instantly cured his low mood. “Ever since being around your sister-in-law, I think I have finally found the meaning to life.”

Lu Yunxiao wanted to say something, but he did not know what to say. He ended up opening his mouth and closing it.

Lu Jingye put down his phone and a happy smile curved on his lips. “Your sister-in-law said that she will personally prepare soup for us today.”

Upon hearing that, Lu Yunxiao’s body suddenly jerked.

He recalled the tonic soup he was forced to drink in the past.

Lu Jingye’s tone of voice also became lighter. “Mother said that we will have an early reunion dinner today. After that, we will go out and play. We can also take your sister-in-law to see some fireworks.

Lu Yunxiao remained silent for two seconds before nodding.

By the time the two brothers returned to the villa, Zi Yi and Mrs. Lu were currently in the kitchen preparing the soup.

Mrs. Lu prohibited her from working and so, Zi Yi could only stand behind her and tell Mrs. Lu how to prepare the soup in such a way that it would be more effective. Mrs. Lu wrote her instructions down and said to her with a smile, “In the future, I won’t have to wrack my brain to think of what soup to prepare for you.”

Zi Yi smiled in response. “In fact, the effects of some soups are very mild and they would only be effective after long-term consumption. You can also add some of your favorite ingredients inside.”

“That’s right. This way, there’s no need to worry about those three men complaining about the soup.”

“Hahaha…”

The two brothers who heard their conversation outside the kitchen had subconsciously looked at each other.

Just then, Lu Jingye’s phone rang.

He took out his phone and was about to answer it.

Zi Yi and Mrs. Lu heard sounds of movement and came out.

Looking at Lu Yunxiao standing there, Mrs. Lu said, “After dinner, go out with your Brother and sister-in-law and have fun. Don’t remain alone like you always do.”

Lu Yunxiao nodded. “Okay.”
