Just like when Lu Bolin shook hands with her earlier.

Jiang Mian originally thought that Lu Bolin wouldn't think so highly of her, and that he would take the initiative to shake her hand.

Even if it's not meant for her to hand the item to him with this gesture, it's at least a reminder.

Jiang Mian simply tucked the small USB drive between her fingers.

He gave it to Lu Bolin under the guise of shaking hands.

That way, if I have to find time to give it to him alone later, I might have to listen to his trash talk again.

Jiang Mian didn't want to listen to his trash talk at all.

Moreover, Lu Bolin probably thought she was quite clever after she pulled this stunt.

As for not opening Lu Bolin's envelope.

Although Jiang Mian didn't admit it to Lu Bozhou, she was deliberately trying to mess with Lu Bolin's mentality.

And it seems like it's going quite well.

The family dinner went smoothly without any particularly unpleasant incidents.

To say they were very harmonious wouldn't be an exaggeration.

However, Jiang Mian felt that it was probably simply because she had experienced too much in her previous life.

It used to be difficult for the sea.

So now, facing this situation, I don't feel anything at all.

As the family dinner was nearing its end...

Jiang Mian breathed a sigh of relief; she was finally almost able to leave.

Before leaving, Lu Bozhou pulled her and Lu Chaochi towards the sofa in the living room.

The living room of the Lu residence was extremely large, with a high ceiling and an exquisite and elaborate crystal chandelier hanging from it.

The sofa set is both retro and luxurious.

After dinner, everyone sat there, chatting and eating fruit.

Lu Bozhou entered with his family, making a striking entrance.

"Go." Lu Bozhou patted Lu Chaochi on the back of the neck. "Say goodbye to Grandpa and Grandma."

Lu Chaochi obediently walked up and said, "Goodbye, Grandpa and Grandma, we're going back now."

Although Yan Ke and Lu Hong were upset and looked unwell because of Jiang Mian's appearance.

But she still managed a forced smile at Lu Chaochi, "Hey, good boy, goodbye."

Lu Bozhou lowered his eyes and said to Lu Chaochi, "You go and wait for us in the car first."

"Mm." Lu Chaochi nodded and turned to walk outside.

Jiang Mian assumed that Lu Bozhou had something else to say to his parents, so she also planned to go out with Lu Chaochi first.

But before she could even turn around...

The man grabbed her wrist.

Jiang Mian was taken aback, and her eyes widened suddenly.

She blinked, somewhat confused by the current situation.

If this man still has something to say to his parents, why did he drag her along?

"Everyone else has given a gift, don't you two have any interest at all?"

Lu Bozhou's voice was indifferent.

Let alone others, Jiang Mian never expected Lu Bozhou to say this!

This is incredible in itself.

This man clearly doesn't seem like he'd ever speak up for anyone.

So not only was Jiang Mian surprised, but the others were also somewhat shocked.

Even though there was a lot of 'bloodshed' when they were giving out red envelopes, Lu Bozhou seemed to completely ignore it as if it had nothing to do with him.

He actually spoke up at that moment!

"You..." Yan Ke's eyes widened.

The aunt and uncle who were the first to give red envelopes were the ones who were publicly punished first.

They've been holding it in all night!

Everyone has to bring them up in their own way.

'It wouldn't be as embarrassing as giving away 20,000 or 30,000 like those two did.'

And now, they can finally speak!

Moreover, they all fall into the category of distant relatives, and they're known for their loose tongues.

"Oh dear, we get rejected even when we give 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, but your in-laws are so stingy?"

"How can you do this? Even if you don't like it, you can't act like this. Is this just embarrassing for the other person? Isn't this embarrassing for the Lu family, and isn't this embarrassing for Bo Zhou?"

"Exactly, what kind of parents are these?"

"He's already driven his previous wife to her death, and he's still treating this one the same way. So he really intends to watch Bo Zhou grow old alone?"

Yan Ke and Lu Hong's expressions changed drastically.

"Shut up!"

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

If it were just a matter of them not liking Jiang Mian and not even giving her a gift when they met, that would be one thing.

They even brought up things from the past!

He knew perfectly well that Lu Bozhou harbored resentment!

Jiang Mian knew they were talking about her, of course. She pursed her lips and glanced at Lu Bozhou furtively.

The man's face was expressionless, but his eyes seemed colder than before.

Lu Hong took a deep breath and whispered to Lu Bozhou, "She won't be missing out. You take the people back first."

Upon hearing this, Lu Bozhou pulled Jiang Mian and turned to leave the Lu residence.

After getting into the car, the car drove out of the Lu residence.

Jiang Mian felt that the air seemed to have become much fresher.

She took a few deep breaths.

Then he looked at Lu Bozhou, who was clearly in a bad mood.

Jiang Mian bit her lip and took the checks out of her bag.

"Shall I share some with you?"

When Lu Bozhou heard her words, he turned his head and saw her somewhat reluctant eyes.

My initially bad mood seemed to ease a little in that instant.

Lu Bozhou looked at the struggle and reluctance in her eyes and scoffed, "Keep it for yourself."

Her eyes grew brighter.

Lu Bozhou continued, "Tomorrow, I'll have Song Xun take you to the bank to exchange the checks and deposit them into your account for peace of mind."

The next day, Song Xun came over in the morning and took her to open an account.

With Song Xun present, things naturally went very smoothly. Jiang Mian felt like she was just a mascot who needed to be there in person.

All you need to do is show your face and sign your name.

Before long, Song Xun had opened an account for her.

"This is the passbook, and this is the card. You can activate the online banking yourself, and it will also be accessible from the back end." Song Xun handed her the items.

"Thank you." Jiang Mian casually opened the folded booklet and glanced at it, then froze when she saw the balance. "How... how come it's so much more?"

“Madam and Mr. Lu gave some,” Song Xun said. “The rest was given to you by the BOSS to make it a round number.”

This is such a perfect arrangement.

There was a full five million in the account, like winning the lottery.

You have to pay taxes even if you win the lottery.

This is her after-tax income...

Yesterday, the elders in the Lu family gave me dozens of red envelopes.

Jiang Mian didn't think that given Yan Ke and Lu Hong's prejudice and dissatisfaction with her, they would give her much of a gift when they first met.

That number should be mostly made up by Lu Bozhou.

Jiang Mian didn't feel that the money was too hot to handle.

She was just thinking that this would be the money she would have to leave him with the child later.

I felt a little embarrassed.

"Thank you so much," Jiang Mian murmured.

Song Xun laughed, "Don't tell me that. You should tell the BOSS yourself when you meet him."

"Okay, I'll go home early tonight and cook something delicious." Jiang Mian smiled.

"Shall I take you to school now?" Song Xun asked.

Jiang Mian thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Assistant Song, could you come with me to pick someone up first?" [Qiqi is here to ask for favorites and votes, mwah! Oh my god, I went to a factory outlet today and bought a T-shirt for 3.8 yuan.]
