The last sentence successfully silenced all of Old Madam Xu's complaints.

Madam Xu sat in her seat with a gloomy expression, silent for a long time. Finally, the disgust in her eyes faded, she stood up, and handed her hand to the young woman beside her. "Now that all the guests are here, please leave."

The young woman at the side hurried forward, respectfully supported Old Madam Xu, and walked downstairs.

-

In the Lu family hall.

When Lu Qingtang was secretly observing the architectural style of the Xu family mansion, a voice suddenly came from beside her, "Miss Lu."

When Lu Qingtang heard the voice, his eyes suddenly turned cold. He looked up suddenly and met a pair of dark phoenix eyes.

Lu Qingtang looked at the man standing next to him and narrowed his clear almond eyes dangerously.

If this person really knew her in the past, and came to Qincheng to help Lu Erya test her and expose her identity——

She would never let him...live past this night!

Xiao Chu seemed unaware of the murderous intent in Lu Qingtang's eyes. He stared at Lu Qingtang motionlessly, with an indescribable meaning in his eyes. "It seems that the Xu family has a special guest today. Many people are lying in ambush outside... Miss Lu is alone, so she should be extra careful."

Lu Qingtang pondered for a few seconds, then smiled and said slowly, "Can all the young masters of the Thorne family legitimately have subordinates with guns?"

Xiao Chu glared calmly, his deep eyes even colder than the night, "The Thorne family has survived until now by fighting each other."

"Guns...of course we have them."

Lu Qingtang frowned, and the look in his eyes as he looked at the person opposite him was once again filled with strong vigilance.

She grew up with Wen Qingyan, so she naturally knew what the living environment was like for people in certain families in that world.

Including Wen Qingyan...all of them had experienced bloody and cruel fighting.

Anyone who survives to adulthood is no ordinary person.

What surprised her was that Xiao Chu would tell her this matter so bluntly!

If Xiao Chu really knew her, wouldn't he be afraid that she would kill him?

If he didn't know her, and said this to a strange young lady from the Lu family—

What's his plan?

Lu Qingtang's eyes were cold, "What do you want to do?"

Xiao Chu lowered his eyes, and his dark eyelashes cast a shadow on his cheek.

Just as he was about to speak, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the hall.

Lu Qingtang looked up and saw Old Madam Xu walking down slowly with the support of many younger generations of the Xu family.

When Lu Qingtang saw this scene, he immediately put Xiao Chu aside and focused his attention on the Xu family.

Anyway—

She always knows what Xiao Chu's purpose is!

Xiao Chu saw that Lu Qingtang's attention was attracted by the Xu family, and the look in his eyes when he looked at the Xu family was filled with sinister hostility.

Old Madam Xu was supported by Xu Jiayu and Xu Jiaru and walked to the main seat and sat down.

Seeing the birthday boy arrive, the guests all started to move.

Although everyone knew that tonight's birthday banquet would definitely not be peaceful, given the Xu family's wealth, most people did not dare to neglect it.

All of a sudden, everyone came forward and lined up to present birthday gifts to Old Madam Xu.

As the future daughter-in-law of the Xu family, Lu Erya naturally comes first.

She clearly understood Old Madam Xu's preferences and presented her with a pair of exceptionally valuable incense. Old Madam Xu glanced at them and smiled. She patted Lu Erya's hand and led her to sit beside her. Then she looked up at Madam Lu, who was looking rather unhappy, and said in a deep voice, "Before, it was Jiaying and my daughter-in-law who were ignorant and did such evil things in private, hurting the reputation of both the Lu and Xu families."

"When they come back, I will immediately take those two people with me and go to the Lu family to apologize to Miss Lu in person."

"Old Man Lu and Madam Lu...you can blame and punish them as you please!"

"But don't let this damage the harmony between the two families."

"Er Ya and Jia Yu's relationship has lasted for so many years, we can't let it be ruined by those two useless people, don't you think... Si Wan?"

Mrs. Lu's original name was Fang Siwan. She also came from a wealthy family in Qincheng and was familiar with Mrs. Xu.

After hearing what Old Madam Xu said, Madam Lu's expression looked a little better.

She was also angry about the bad things Xu Jiaying and Madam Xu did to Lu Wensheng.

It was only because of his consideration for Lu Erya that he showed such partiality, which led to the situation getting out of control.

Because of this, Mrs. Lu suffered a lot of humiliation and abuse.

Especially Lu Wensheng——

Because of this incident, she almost hated her biological mother to death.
