The Lu family banquet that Lu Bolin had mentioned earlier arrived soon.

However, because Jiang Mian did not know the exact time beforehand, she did not have time to prepare anything.

Lu Bozhou suddenly came to pick her up from school that day.

Moreover, Lu Chaochi was also in the car.

"Mianmian!" Lu Chaochi reached out to her for a hug, being incredibly clingy.

Jiang Mian was still a little dazed, but she quickly hugged the child.

"Little Stone, what are you doing here?" Jiang Mian asked. "Aren't you supposed to be at kindergarten?"

When Jiang Mian asked this question, she immediately realized what was going on and reached out to touch Lu Chaochi's forehead.

"Are you not sick?"

She was a little nervous, afraid that her child had taken sick leave because he was unwell.

Lu Chaochi said with a smile, "Mianmian, I'm not sick, don't worry."

"Then?" Jiang Mian asked, puzzled.

Lu Bozhou had already gotten into the car and sat in the passenger seat. He turned his head and said in a low voice, "Lu Chaochi, sit down."

Although Little Stone still wanted to stick close to Jiang Mian, he obediently climbed into the car seat and fastened the seatbelt.

"Why did you suddenly bring the child out? Is something wrong?" Jiang Mian asked seriously.

Lu Bozhou answered calmly, "A family dinner."

Jiang Mian immediately realized what was going on.

She glanced at Lu Bozhou, who was dressed in a suit and tie as always, and then at Lu Chaochi, who was dressed neatly and looked lovely.

Then I looked at myself, so unkempt.

Few people who rush to class or work early in the morning are actually dressed in a glamorous manner.

Jiang Mian looked at herself in a T-shirt, jeans, and canvas shoes, with her hair in a loose, somewhat messy bun.

He also wore a pair of large black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

It doesn't look like an outfit suitable for attending a banquet at all.

As if guessing Jiang Mian's worries, Lu Chaochi said, "Oh, Mianmian, you look great in this outfit. You look youthful and beautiful. Don't worry!"

She must have heard what her son said.

The man sitting in the passenger seat glanced back at her briefly.

Jiang Mian felt a little uncomfortable and scratched her messy bun.

Lu Bozhou said calmly, "That family is already giving us enough face by attending; there's no need to worry about them."

Although Jiang Mian thought to herself, "You two are dressed so neatly, of course you can make it sound so easy."

But judging from Lu Bozhou's attitude towards the Lu family...

Hearing his words, Jiang Mian did feel much more relaxed.

Before long, they arrived at the Lu residence.

As Jiang Mian got out of the car, she instinctively headed towards the kitchen.

She was used to it, whether in her past life or this one.

She also dislikes family banquets and feels more comfortable in the kitchen.

But a long, slender hand grabbed her wrist.

Jiang Mian was taken aback.

"Where to?" Lu Bozhou asked calmly.

“I…” Jiang Mian pointed towards the kitchen.

"Calm down. I didn't marry you to be a kitchen helper," Lu Bozhou said calmly.

The hand holding her wrist never let go.

She could only follow the man into the main hall of the Lu residence.

Lu Bozhou held her wrist with one hand and Lu Chaochi's hand with the other.

Jiang Mian had no idea how this scene appeared to others.

But in her view, this might be the scene that she herself had always dreamed of.

But at this moment, she felt no joy.

Instead, the closer she got to the main hall of the Lu residence, the more uncomfortable she became.

It gives off a feeling of 'if I had known it would turn out like this, I would have just left it to rot at home'.

When Lu Bozhou led her into the main hall of the Lu residence, the once lively hall suddenly fell silent.

Not only that, Jiang Mian also felt as if all eyes were on her.

Their perspectives differed.

Yan Ke and Lu Hong were at the very edge, their expressions both extremely unpleasant.

Several relatives didn't let them off the hook either, asking with a half-smile, "Lu Hong, is this your new daughter-in-law?"

"Exactly, aren't you going to introduce them?"

"He looks very kind."

"More than that, he looks incredibly familiar."

"That's great, that's great. Lu Hong and Yan Ke's wish has finally come true."

"Yes, haven't they always hoped that Bo Zhou would find someone else?"

The content of the words seemed to be correct, but the tone was just awful.

Even though Jiang Mian had already experienced this in her previous life, listening to it now, she still felt that these people were simply a group of great Yin-Yang masters!

That's incredibly witty and sarcastic.

No wonder Yan Ke and Lu Hong looked so grim; anyone would have a bad expression after hearing the sarcastic and mocking tone in those words.

Jiang Mian, on the other hand, didn't care at all, not to mention that she had already gotten used to it in her previous life.

Even if she wasn't used to it, she hadn't taken Lu Bozhou seriously in this life, let alone the Lu family.

Jiang Mian not only didn't react to these sarcastic remarks, but she even started thinking about them.

Given her current status, shouldn't she show some appreciation after these people have finished their business?

Just as Jiang Mian was lost in thought, her eyes closed and her mind at ease.

I felt the grip on my wrist tighten.

Jiang Mian was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Lu Bozhou.

Just then, the man also looked down at them.

After their eyes met briefly, the man leaned down slightly and whispered in his ear.

"They should give you the money soon."

As if reminding her, Lu Bozhou instructed, "Don't be polite with them. Don't be so foolish."

Jiang Mian blinked blankly, then nodded blankly.

For a moment, she couldn't quite tell whether Lu Bozhou's words were directed at what she was about to face.

Or is he still talking about her, who has already made a foolish mistake before?

Once, when she married Lu Bozhou.

The Lu family also gave her money, but Jiang Mian didn't want to offend them.

Furthermore, her parents were worried that the Lu family would be difficult to get along with and might treat her badly in the future, so they thought they should be polite about the wedding gift money.

I did not accept the money they offered as a gift.

As a result, they not only didn't get along well, but they also privately said that Jiang Mian was too cheap.

In families with insufficient social standing, daughters are much cheaper.

Lu Bozhou seemed to be angry about this at the time.

It was only when Jiang Mian heard Lu Bozhou's words that she belatedly realized what was going on.

He was angry then, perhaps not because those people were gossiping behind his back that he could only marry a daughter from a humble family.

Or do you think she's stupid?

As Lu Bozhou had predicted, after these people finished their yin-yang rituals, someone started the conversation, and no one knew who did it first.

Then they began to give the new bride a gift.

One by one, red envelopes were handed over, indicating that they had known all along that Jiang Mian was coming back today and had made preparations in advance.

Jiang Mian looked at the red envelope handed to her, her mind replaying the words Lu Bozhou had said earlier.

Don't be polite with them, don't be so naive.

Jiang Mian blinked, thanked her, and then accepted it.

After receiving it, I opened it right there on the spot.

Pour out the contents.

Jiang Mian's idea was simple and direct: what's the point of hiding it in a red envelope?

Of course, we have to let them compete and see who's better! "Qiqi is begging for votes and favorites! It's finally gotten cooler outside! I'm so touched!"
