Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

"You little brat, you can't even handle your own wife." Father Lu pressed Lu Jin'an's shoulder, and he learned from his father that it was Jin'an who asked him to deliberately mention the identity of He Xi's fiancée.

Lu Jinan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches the mouse, it is a good cat."

Father Lu chuckled, not knowing who he inherited his shamelessness from. He turned around and met his wife's eyes, and asked, "Who do you think he inherited it from?"

During the birthday banquet, Tao Xing took a glass of wine and went to He Xi to drink. There was hatred in her eyes. As for why she didn't leave, the reason was very simple. The grandparents of the Tao family shamelessly stayed for the future of their grandson and granddaughter.

The Lu family's connections and vision are beyond the reach of retirees of their level. If they only care about their children, one can get a high position and the other can marry into a wealthy family. This little humiliation would be nothing.

Tao Xing held out the wine glass to He Xi: "Have two drinks. Today is such a nice day. As the host, you shouldn't not drink."

Ever since she came back, Lu Jinan's frown had never relaxed. He impatiently wanted to drink a glass on behalf of He Xi so as to fool Tao Xing away.

Tao Xing dodged Lu Jinan's toast and stared at He Xi: "What? You don't even dare to drink a glass of wine with me. Are you afraid that I will poison you? Okay, I'll drink first." She held the empty wine glass and laughed at He Xi.

He Xi's original intention was to refuse, but her actions just now made it impossible for He Xi to refuse. She stood up, picked up the wine glass and said sarcastically: "Drinking to forget your sorrow will only make you more sorrowful. I advise you not to do this."

The mockery in Tao Xing's eyes did not diminish at all: "This is your excuse for not wanting to drink, it's really lame."

Lu Jinan looked at Tao Xing with cold eyes: "Tao Xing, if you still have a little self-respect, please leave immediately, otherwise you will be the only one who will be embarrassed."

Tao Xing's eyes instantly turned red: "So we're not even friends, right?"

Lu Jinan hates Tao Xing and the entire Tao family. It's his fault that he was stupid in his previous life, but the price his family paid because of her is unforgivable.

Lu Jinan just felt angry, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't calm down. Seeing this, He Xi couldn't retreat anymore, so he took Lu Jinan's wine glass and raised his eyebrows to Tao Xing: "I toast to you."

The spicy and bitter taste entered He Xi's throat, irritating every hair on his body. He still couldn't get used to drinking white wine.

She really drank it. Tao Xing reacted and poured himself another glass of wine: "He Xi, why did you snatch Lu Jinan away?"

He Xi took the wine jug from her hand and refilled her glass, saying slowly: "Miss Tao, you should understand that love cannot be forced, and a forced melon is not sweet."

She drank another glass, almost one glass for each sentence, and snorted coldly: "You are so ungrateful, bitter fruit is still fruit, and no one knows whether it is sweet or bitter until the day when the fruit is ripe."

He Xi was impressed by her attitude and nodded in admiration: "That's right, but the process is mostly unsatisfactory."

"You..." She was successfully irritated by He Xi's words.

Mother Lu stood up and walked over to the two girls to take the wine glasses from their hands, but Tao Xing dodged her again. She said with a little disappointment, "Xiaoxing, I watched you grow up, and I don't want you to be like this again."

Tao Xing finally couldn't help it, his eyes welled up again, he raised his voice and said angrily: "You don't want to see me, or you feel sorry for her, what is all my efforts over the years for?"

Mother Lu used to think that Tao Xing was a good kid. She even thought about bringing Jin An and He Xi together if they didn't work out, but what she said just now hurt her.

Lu Jinan could not hide the dark and gloomy emotions in his eyes: "It seems that you have taken advantage of too many things and have forgotten to be grateful. Why are you working so hard? Isn't it profitable? Not to mention your brother's location arrangement in the countryside, who bought you the clothes from spring to winter? Your sincerity has been wasted."

People at the banquet are used to changing their attitudes according to the situation. They will flatter you when they see you are in a favorable position and step on you when they see you are out of favor.

"I used to see her going to the Lu family every other day, no matter what, even though we clearly didn't have any friendship."

"That's her. It turns out she has learned how to climb the social ladder at such a young age."

"That's not right. It was all taught by adults. What does she know at such a young age? It was all instructed by adults."

…………

When the wall falls, everyone pushes it. Tao's grandparents originally wanted to use Lu's mother's feelings for Tao Xing to gain sympathy, but they didn't expect it to turn out like this. Grandma Tao finally couldn't sit still anymore, she stood up, took Tao Xing's hand and was about to leave.

"He Xi, I won't give up." Tao Xing was trembling a little, tightly grasping the wine glass. He said hurriedly and was dragged away by Grandma Tao.

While no one else was paying attention, He Xi poured himself a glass of wine, the alcohol content of which was quite high even though he brewed his own wine.

"Xiao Xi?" He Fei's voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it.

He Xi's sneaky actions were discovered, and she could only taste what the wine tasted like before they stopped her.

Lu Jinan struggled out of his previous emotions, snatched the wine glass from her hand, and his eyes revealed a dangerous aura: "You dare to drink, you really have become capable?"

He Xi giggled, feeling a little dizzy. She wanted to find a place to lean on, and pouted: "Just a little bit. I've already drunk it, so I might as well try other wines. This is a rare opportunity."

He Xi's face was visibly flushed. She fanned herself with her hands while speaking, walked towards Lu Jinan, and leaned against him: "It's hot, is the heater turned on too high?"

Lu Jinan's eyes were deep and a little cold: "Hot? How many cups did you drink?"

He Xi rested his forehead on Lu Jinan's chest, lowered his head and counted on his fingers: "One, two, three, four, a total of four cups." He smiled and raised four white fingers to show him.

Lu Jinan held He Xi's face, his eyes more helpless: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Yeah." He Xi's voice was very nasal.

"so what?"

He Xi raised her arms and looked up at Lu Jinan, saying coquettishly, "I want a hug."

"I want a hug!" Lu Jinan teased her intentionally, "Why me?"

He Xi shook her head: "I want you to hold me."

He Zhien couldn't bear it any longer and stood up to take He Xi to the bedroom to rest. Just as she stood up, Lu Huaizhi pushed her back: "Don't join in the fun."

"No, I can't let others laugh at my sister." He Zhien said firmly.

Grandpa Lu's eyes were narrow and sharp, and he swept the whole audience with a cold gaze: "Who dares to see or spread the jokes of the Lu family? You should eat and drink well."

My goodness, everyone participating in the banquet lowered their heads to eat and dared not have any extra thoughts.

"Why me? Who am I to you?" Lu Jinan was intentionally guiding He Xi.

He Xi hummed for a long time before saying, "It's a childhood sweetheart, it's my boyfriend."

Lu Jinan shook his head: "No, none of them are right."

"what is that?"

"think it yourself."

He Xi pursed her lips, her expression aggrieved and pitiful, and continued to mutter: "It's hot, really hot, my stomach is uncomfortable, and my tummy doesn't feel good either."

He Xi hooked Lu Jinan's hand, and Lu Jinan looked at her: "Who am I to you?"

He Xi hummed for a long time: "It's my fiancé, right?"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. You finally said it. The flowers they had been waiting for had all wilted and their necks were stiff.

Lu Jinan kissed He Xi as a reward and immediately carried her upstairs like a princess.
