Miss Lu is charming and seductive, and she hooks Mr. Ji into a

After the wedding, Mr. Ji's attitude towards her changed 360 degrees.

All the previous pampering towards her has now turned into indifference towards outsiders.

Lu Tang didn't blame him.

If it were someone else, the consequences would be far worse than what she is experiencing now.

Even so, Lu Tang still felt subconsciously resistant every time she received a call from him.

"Grandpa, what are you calling about?" Lu Tang asked.

Grandpa Ji's heavy voice came from the other end of the phone: "Family dinner tonight, come over."

Only then did Lu Tang realize that Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching.

The Ji family has a tradition of holding a family banquet seven days before the beginning of autumn.

She took a deep breath and refused: "Grandpa, I have something else to do at the company and I can't spare the time."

But Mr. Ji acted as if he hadn't heard anything and continued, "I've sent someone to pick you up."

Lu Tang's eyes darkened. She knew that since Mr. Ji insisted on her going, it must not be just a family dinner. There must be something else.

Since he had something to do with her, given Mr. Ji's personality, she would definitely not be able to escape.

"I see."

After saying that, Lu Tang hung up the phone.

She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and could already see the people sent by Mr. Ji.

It was getting cold outside, so she put on a coat and went downstairs.

Maybe it was because it was cloudy, it was already dark when Lu Tang arrived at Ji's house.

Lu Tang got out of the car and stood at the door of the old house, reluctant to go in.

She was really tired of this kind of Hongmen Banquet.

"Miss Lu, why are you here?"

A clear female voice came from behind. Lu Tang turned around and met Liu Ru's eyes.

This question...how should Lu Tang answer?

Before Liu Ruo came to the capital, the Ji family blocked all previous connections between her and the Ji family.

Liu Ruo didn't know what had happened before.

She couldn't tell Liu Ruo that her fiancé was her cheating partner.

Lu Tang smiled awkwardly, but before she could speak, the housekeeper beside her called her in: "Miss Lu, Mr. Ji is waiting for you in the study, please go over quickly."

"It turns out it's Uncle Ji calling you. Go quickly." Liu Ruo said.

Uncle Ji?

Only then did Lu Tang realize that Ji Xuan and Ji Shengzhou were of different generations.

She originally called him "Grandpa Ji" according to Ji Xuan's generation.

As for Liu Ruo, she was naturally addressing Ji Shengzhou according to her generation as he was her fiancée.

"Miss Lu, please come in." The housekeeper took her to the study and opened the door.

Lu Tang walked in and did not forget to close the door.

"sit."

Grandpa Ji's eyes fell on the chair opposite him.

She took a few steps forward, sat in front of him, and smiled politely: "Grandpa asked me to come here, what's the matter?"

"Are your grandparents here?"

Grandpa Ji picked up the teacup and took a sip.

In an instant, the air in the study became tense.

Lu Tang's heart trembled, and shock could not be concealed in his pupils.

Mr. Ji still found out.

In the capital, what else can be hidden from him?

Being monitored, is this the price she paid for choosing not to go abroad?

"Grandpa, they just came to Beijing to see a doctor because they were sick. There is no other intention." Lu Tang's breathing was a little disordered, and his words were full of panic.

Lu Tang's grandparents didn't know what had happened before.

Now they can't stand the provocation, and she is afraid that Mr. Ji will take action against them.

Old Master Ji waved his hand and said, "Don't panic. I've already told the hospital to use the best medicine, the best doctors, and the best services. They will recover soon."

Lu Tang understood this sentence.

It’s not that Mr. Ji is kind, but he wants Lu Tang’s grandfather to be discharged from the hospital and leave the capital as soon as possible.

This will bring back all of Ji Shengzhou's distracted attention.

"Okay, let's go to the hall and prepare for dinner." Old Master Ji waved his hand and motioned her to go out.

Lu Tang stood up, but did not move to leave.

She opened her bag and took out a pendant.

This pendant is nothing else but the ring that Mr. Ji gave her when she first came to the Ji family's old house.

This ring represents the Ji family, and it goes without saying how powerful it is.

Lu Tang strung it as a pendant and always carried it with him.

Now, it's time to return it to its rightful owner.

"Grandpa, I'm returning this to you." Lu Tang placed the pendant on the table and bowed to Grandpa Ji.

This bow was her gratitude to Mr. Ji for his favor to her.

Mr. Ji's face darkened, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

Mr. Ji has always been calm, serious and solemn.

This was the first time Lu Tang saw panic on his face.

"Take it back. There's no reason to take back what I've given away." He scolded.

Although he was scolding, the confusion in his eyes could not be hidden.

Lu Tang shook his head: "Grandpa, take care of yourself from now on. Xiaotang won't be able to visit you as often as before."

After he finished speaking, Lu Tang turned and left.

She is feeling very complicated now. She can't forget how good Grandpa Ji was to her.

But now, she knew how much of a threat Mr. Ji posed to her.

Therefore, the only way to eliminate her inner conflict is to end this relationship.

Inside the door, Mr. Ji's eyes were already wet.

He watched Lu Tang grow up, just like her own granddaughter.

He knew how wronged Lu Tang was by letting her marry Ji Xuan in the beginning, so he had been trying his best to compensate her.

Later, when he found out that Lu Tang and Ji Shengzhou were together, his first feeling was not hatred, but fear.

The "kill without mercy" he had said originally only became "go away" when applied to Lu Tang.

Looking at the ring on the table, he felt even worse.

Interests drive too many relationships, and not everyone can do whatever they want.

When it was time for dinner, Lu Tang was called to the hall.

Everyone except Ji Xuan came.

Ji Xuan is abroad and was sent to study in Europe by Grandpa Ji.

But his seat was not empty. Another man, Gu Peisi, was sitting there.

Lu Tang was surprised. He didn't expect Gu Peisi to appear here. "Brother Peisi? Didn't you... go to Europe?"

"Xiaotang is here too? Come and sit down." Gu Peisi waved at her.

The seat next to Gu Peisi was empty. It was the only empty seat on the entire dining table.

Lu Tang knew that this was also the work of Mr. Ji.

She sat down at her seat and was met with Ji Shengzhou's fiery gaze.

She didn't dare to look up.

After sitting down, Mr. Ji started eating first.

"Pei Si, has everything been handled in Europe?" he asked.

Gu Peisi replied: "Everything has been taken care of, thanks to Grandpa's help."

He said this to Ji Shengzhou.

He sat with Liu Ruo, his lips pressed into a line, his face expressionless.

"It's good that it's been handled. Pei Si, you know Xiaotang. She is shy and embarrassed to pick up food. You should give her more of her favorite food." said Grandpa Ji.

This sentence was also said to Ji Shengzhou.

Gu Peisi nodded, picked up a new pair of chopsticks, and picked up several dishes for Lu Tang.

Lu Tang lowered his head, but could still feel Ji Shengzhou's fierce and gloomy gaze.

Lu Tang felt very depressed while eating this meal, just like the day when it started raining outside.

After dinner, the rain was so heavy that we couldn’t see the road clearly.

Liu Ruo left without waiting to finish his meal as soon as the rain started to fall.

Lu Tang and Gu Peisi could only wait for the rain to stop.

Seeing the increasingly heavy rain outside, Mr. Ji simply kept the two of them. "You two can stay here tonight. I'll have someone clean up the room."
