My whole family is the protagonist, and I am the only cannon fodder!

Not being in her own home, Lu Zaozao seemed less restrained and nervous. No one could recognize her as the daughter of the Lu family by her simple dress and ordinary face. No one would care about her identity here either. After all, everyone only knew those four people. Her presence was always very low unless something inexplicable went wrong, so low that this person could be almost ignored.

What's more, she is not the protagonist today.

But this was not her own room after all. Lu Zao Zao was a little nervous and sat obediently on the sofa in the banquet hall, occasionally drinking a sip or two of freshly squeezed juice, and idly observing and checking everything around her with her eyes.

Someone walked out from the corridor on the other side. He had very fair skin, good manners, and was polite in his dealings with others. He was like a gentle and soft gardenia in summer, filled with sweet and rich fragrance. It was obvious that he was someone who was raised by a powerful family with money and pampering.

Lu Zaozao saw clearly the display screen above the other person's head - Wen Miaoyi, the heroine in the True and False Thousand Gold Stories.

Soon, Wen's mother came out from a room on the side and touched her head affectionately and gently. Both of them had red eyes. Probably to reassure Wen's mother, Wen Miaoyi smiled, then raised her hand and gently wiped away Wen's mother's tears.

It can be seen that even after recognizing his biological daughter, he still has a deep and inseparable affection for his former adopted daughter, and this unequal preference is definitely impossible to eliminate overnight.

After the two of them left, Lu Zao Zao discovered that Lin Zhao was standing not far from them. There was a dim brass wall lamp hanging in the corridor, casting the mottled colors of the murals on the wall onto her face, making her already cold and beautiful eyebrows even sharper - like a kind of calm judgment and inquiry.

Perhaps this unequal preference also contributed to Lin Zhao's becoming the vicious female supporting role in the future.

I originally thought that Lin Zhao would be very happy, but when I saw her in person through the crowd, she seemed to be lacking interest and did not show any sign of joy. She looked no different from usual.

I had a gift as well, and I was originally planning to deliver it and then leave. If there were too many people, I would retreat to a corner and wait until after dinner before leaving with the crowd, and then I would not participate in the series of fun afterwards.

By the time the gift was delivered, the sky was gradually getting dark, and the gray-blue sky took on a damp and cold tone, like some kind of mannerist canvas.

The bright night lights in the villas and gardens were all turned on, illuminating the entire magnificent and vast villa complex. Some people were barbecuing in the open air on the wide lawn, while others were drinking and talking business. Lu could smell the faint scent of alcohol and perfume filling the entire courtyard.

Except for occasionally staying out until late when he went out to play with Li Jianan, Lu Zaozao always stayed in his room. It was not early now, so there was no point in staying here.

His clothes had just been placed on the sofa in the banquet hall, and Lu was ready to take them and leave.

Walking along the garden and corridor, before entering the main entrance, she heard someone calling her name from behind. There were so many people around, and she didn't understand why Lin Zhao could call her so accurately. Lu Zaozao stopped where she was and turned to face her, "What's wrong? What's the matter?"

"Heh." Lin Zhao snorted coldly, "Didn't you see me before? Are you pretending not to see me?"

"No." Lu Zao Zao answered her while walking in and taking out her clothes. "I know you don't want to see me in that situation."

"Which situation?" Lin Zhao seemed to think about it for a moment, and said disdainfully: "You don't think I'm sad, do you? I don't need a lot of love, I just need a lot of money."

Not sure whether Lin Zhao was sincere, Lu Zaozao just hugged her clothes tighter and said nothing - even if she was sincere, it was hard to guarantee that her heart would not be unbalanced if she stayed in such an environment for a long time.

Seeing that Lu Zao Zao didn't say anything, Lin Zhao walked closer to her, looked at her face, then looked at her dress, and finally couldn't help but sneered, "I didn't expect you to be the daughter of the Lu family."

Everyone who sees her would probably think so, but no one would say it to her face. Oh, and there is also Xie Huinian’s friend, He Feng.

Lu Zao Zao had already gotten used to the frankness in Lin Zhao's tone.

She did not feel any hatred towards Lin Zhao, but only a faint sense of sadness and helplessness about knowing her fate.

"Not at all, right? Even I think so." Lu Zao Zao smiled faintly, as if relieved. "But when I was fifteen, I did a DNA test myself, and it turned out to be my biological child. I don't know whether it was lucky or unfortunate."

"What do you think?"

"..."

Lin Zhao fell silent again, which was unusual.

In fact, Lin Zhao was a very sharp-tongued and even somewhat harsh person. She was usually eloquent and sharp-tongued, but Lu Zaozao always had the ability to defuse her arrogance with a few words, often leaving her speechless.

Lu Zaozao obviously realized this, so she smiled again.

Lin Zhao gritted her teeth, turned her head away, and was too lazy to even look at Lu Zaozao.

After a while, as if remembering something, he turned his head again, frowned and asked: "You told me before, 'Yes, you will become rich soon', why did you say that at that time? How do you know that I will become rich soon?"

Unexpectedly, the other party still remembered this. Facing a series of questions, Lu Zao Zao thought for a while, and then said: "I guessed."

"Guess? You really think you're a bodhisattva, you can bring golden light to your heart as soon as you open your mouth, and everything you say will come true. Guess, guess, do you think I believe your ridiculous statement?"

Whether Lin Zhao believed it or not was her own business, and had nothing to do with Lu Zaozao. She had told so many lies that she could lie without hesitation and without changing her expression. “I just think that people like you should be able to get what they want.”

"A person like me? What kind of person am I?" Lin Zhao's tone became almost aggressive.

If this were an anime world, there would probably be a fire burning on Lin Zhao's head, Lu Zaozao thought with extremely jumpy thoughts.

"It's cute," she said somewhat sincerely.

"..." Okay, the fire was out, but Lin Zhao's tone was still angry, "You are crazy."

If it weren't for the fact that he was extremely bored and had nothing to do during this period, and if he hadn't had plenty of time to squander without any scruples, He Feng probably wouldn't have come to this party, he would have just come to join in the fun.

Since he returned to China, such a big event has finally happened in Lincheng. How could he not come to see it? It would not be enough for him to come alone, so he took some effort to get Xie Huinian to come as well. After all, his grandfather, Mr. Jiang, was not in good health, so it was normal for him to come on his behalf.
