What?

Lu Shijie only felt that he heard every word his colleague said clearly, but he did not understand every sentence.

He grabbed the colleague and said, "What did you say? Say it again? I don't think I understood."

The colleague looked at Lu Shijie in surprise. "Brother Shijie, don't you know? Your fourth grandmother, who married into the Ningping Marquis's mansion, is about to be adopted as the daughter of Lord Lan, the Minister of Revenue? It's really fate. Brother Shijie, weren't you under Lord Lan's command in the Ministry of Revenue? Although you have been transferred to our Ministry of Revenue, your daughter has won Lord Lan's favor again."

"Brother Shijie, you will surely be very successful in the future. When that happens, don't forget to help your brothers—"

Lu Shijie finally came to his senses.

That wicked girl Lu Zhenzhen is actually hooking up with the Minister of Revenue, Lord Lan, again? And she's even going to acknowledge him as her adoptive father?

When did this happen and he didn't even know about it?

Perhaps because he was too surprised, Lu Shijie muttered to himself unconsciously.

The colleague's face changed, and he looked at Lu Shijie inquiringly: "Brother Shijie, you didn't know? Such a big thing, apart from anything else, all of us in the six departments know about it! Didn't you receive the invitation?"

Lu Shijie finally heard it clearly and his face turned pale.

This evil girl didn't even tell her biological father about such an important matter.

Does this mean you don't take him seriously at all?

Seeing Lu Shijie's expression, his colleague swallowed the rest of his words and laughed: "Well, maybe your daughter wants to give you, Brother Shijie, a surprise?"

What a surprise! What kind of girl wants to adopt others as her adoptive parents without her biological parents knowing?

As Lu Shijie said things he himself didn't believe, his colleagues saw that his expression was getting uglier and uglier. They didn't dare to stay any longer, so they quickly pointed out an excuse and slipped away.

There were several colleagues nearby. After hearing this, they thought about the previous rumor.

They all started making faces at once.

Lu Shijie's face turned blue, then white, and then white, then purple.

Finally, he couldn't help but curse the evil girl twice, put down the file in his hand, lowered his head and rushed out.

After Lu Shijie left, the rest of his colleagues immediately gathered together to play crickets.

"It seems the rumors are true. I heard that his daughter severed ties with the Lu family on the day she returned home! I thought it was an exaggeration, but now it seems that it is not an exaggeration at all."

"I heard he wanted to sell his daughter for fame, but he ended up selling her and not getting any fame!"

"That's right! He used to be a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue, a fifth-rank official! But just a few days after my daughter married into the Marquis's mansion, he was transferred to our Ministry of Rites on some pretext, becoming a fifth-rank official! Tsk tsk, this daughter got married at a loss!"

"Isn't his daughter's temper too strong? As the saying goes, one should obey the father at home. Marriage is the decision of the parents and the matchmaker. Moreover, this marriage is also upscale. It is Brother Lu's daughter who has benefited. How can she turn her back on him and treat her own biological father like this after receiving such benefits?"

Someone in the crowd said this.

Immediately, the people around him scattered like birds and beasts, looking at him speechlessly.

He himself was still puzzled: "Did I say something wrong?"

Everyone looked at him as if he was mentally retarded, and some people turned around and left.

The remaining few people looked at him. One of them, who had a good relationship with him, whispered, "Brother Shi, are you stupid? Don't forget, that person is about to recognize Lord Lan as his adoptive father! Who is Lord Lan? The Minister of Revenue! He will definitely be the next Minister of Revenue! Which of our six ministries' expenses doesn't rely on those people in the Ministry of Revenue?"

"You're actually speaking so arrogantly today. Aren't you afraid of offending Minister Lan? Our next funding has been blocked by the Ministry of Revenue?"

The man's face changed and he fell to the ground in regret.

It is said that after Lu Shijie rushed out, he held his breath and went to ask for leave from his superior doctor.

The doctor of the Ministry of Rites originally wanted to make things more difficult for Lu Shijie, but seeing that Lu Shijie looked unhappy, he decided not to be too extreme and agreed.

Lu Shijie returned to the Lu family in anger. The first thing he asked when he saw Madam Wang was, "Do you know about the rumor that Lu Zhenzhen, that evil girl, is going to be adopted by Lord Lan as his adopted daughter?"

Wang's face twitched, and she said sternly, "Ever since that bitch came back and caused such a scene last time, our whole family has lost face. How can we even dare to go out?"

At the same time, he asked, "Who did that bitch hook up with? Which Lord Lan?"

Lu Shijie took a sip of tea and said, "Who else could it be? The Minister of Revenue, Mr. Lan!"

Wang was shocked. "How did that little bitch get close to this gentleman?"

I was so envious and jealous that my eyes turned red. If I had known that little bitch would live such a good life after marrying into the Marquis' Mansion.

She should have let Jiaojiao marry into the Marquis's Mansion!

The fourth lady of the Marquis' Mansion is his own daughter, and Lord Lan is Jiaojiao's adoptive father!

It’s a pity that I had the wrong idea at the beginning, and that little bitch Lu Zhenzhen got the advantage!

But after a moment's movement, Wang smiled again: "Master, this is a happy event!"

Lu Shijie slammed his cup on the table. "What kind of happy event is this? The whole capital knows that that evil Lu Zhenzhen is going to be adopted as Lord Lan's daughter, but we've been kept in the dark! It's obvious that they don't like us and don't want to acknowledge us at all! Even if it's a happy event, what does it have to do with us?"

The more I think about it, the more regretful I feel!

If I had known that this evil creature Lu Zhenzhen was so lucky, I should have treated her better when I was at home.

Now it’s so painful to see that I can’t eat the fat meat and can’t take advantage of the bargains.

Wang sneered, "Just because she says she doesn't want to recognize him, doesn't she? It's not her decision! We gave birth to her and raised her, and even found her such a good marriage, and now she wants to shrug us off and enjoy herself? You're dreaming!"

"Master, didn't you say that Lord Lan is the Minister of Revenue? If she wants to marry into such a good family, it depends on whether we agree or not!"

"Master, please send a letter to that little bitch tomorrow. On the day of the recognition, our whole family must be present."

Lu Shijie hesitated for a moment, then said reluctantly, "That evil creature, when she said she would sever ties with us that day, she was really cruel! You know how many times I've sent letters over the past few days, but they haven't even entered the gate of the Marquis' Mansion. It's strange that she would agree!"

Wang said coldly, "That was in the past! Now she wants to change to someone with powerful parents! It all depends on whether we agree! If she doesn't agree to have our whole family attend, I'll ruin her family recognition banquet, even at the cost of my reputation!"

"I just don't believe it. Lord Lan, such a high-ranking official, could adopt an ungrateful adopted daughter who refuses to acknowledge her biological parents?"

After hearing this, Lu Shijie's eyes lit up: "Madam is right! I'll send someone to deliver the letter right away!"

The couple smiled at each other, feeling that everything was going well.
