The sense of crisis I felt upon arriving at the Lu family's old residence was almost etched into my very soul.

Even if you've died once and changed your body, it still can't be erased.

In an instant, Jiang Mian had no time to continue her previous thoughts and fell into a state of tense vigilance.

In the past, she could tell who had arrived and who had come just by looking at the parked cars.

But five years have passed, and a wealthy and influential family like the Lu family would have changed their cars long ago, so she couldn't recognize them anymore.

We can only make a rough judgment based on some characteristics.

After I got off the bus, a man's voice came from the side.

“Go to the kitchen through the side door,” Lu Bozhou pointed to one side.

"You don't need to come out unless there's something wrong, and no one will bother you."

Jiang Mian looked at him without saying a word for a long time.

Perhaps it was because of his previous conversation with his son that Jiang Mian's guard was slightly lowered.

So much so that when I heard him say that now...

For some reason, the face of the man in front of me overlapped with the face I used to have.

However, the face in front of me now looks more mature than the one I remember.

The man with the heroic and sharp features in her memory said something similar to her.

No, perhaps it's much worse.

"Go to the kitchen and help the nanny. Don't come to the table or make a scene. I'm not talking to you, so don't blame me for not warning you beforehand."

As Jiang Mian walked towards the kitchen, these scenes kept replaying in her mind.

She was slightly uncertain. What exactly was going on? Had she missed something?

"Who are you?" A burly middle-aged woman looked at Jiang Mian with a questioning gaze. "Who are you looking for?"

Jiang Mian recognized her; her surname was Cai.

She called her Sister Cai. She looked a bit fierce, but she was actually a nice person.

"Sister Cai? I'm Mr. Lu's housekeeper. Mr. Lu asked me to come and help in the kitchen."

Sister Cai still frowned. "Which Mr. Lu? There are too many Mr. Lus in this family."

"Mr. Lu Bozhou".

After hearing Jiang Mian's words, Sister Cai glanced at her, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

But he didn't say much, only saying, "Come with me."

Jiang Mian knew that Sister Cai must have noticed how similar she was to her younger self, but she just didn't say it outright.

"You can just help out here, don't go to the front. We'll handle serving the food. It's too chaotic and crowded up front, and you don't want to accidentally offend anyone. Besides, with your face..."

Sister Cai finally couldn't help but bring it up, and she sighed softly, "It's just too eye-catching."

Jiang Mian didn't pretend to be stupid and nodded, "I know, then I'll help out here."

Jiang Mian helped wash and chop the vegetables; she was quick and efficient.

Moreover, while they were busy, they could also listen to the gossip from the other cooks and nannies about what was going on in the front hall.

"Oh my, the young mistress is really good at enduring things."

"Yes, that baby... that baby was born to Young Master Bolin by a woman from outside, right?"

"My God, it's unbelievable that they would accept it so readily."

"I heard that Young Master Bolin gave his eldest daughter-in-law's family preferential treatment on two projects because of this."

"That's not all! It seems they even put a plot of land in the east of the city up for tender. And just a few days ago at the Lisheng Auction, they bought a set of jewelry worth seven figures!"

"It's still hard to imagine, unimaginable!"

"So today's family gathering is for this baby? Is this to help him be recognized as a member of the family?"

Jiang Mian found the secrets of this wealthy family too exciting to listen to.

But then I thought about it again, and I guess those messy things from my past life are just endless gossip for others to tell.

At the time, I always felt that I had to be talked about so harshly and embarrassingly behind people's backs.

Now, listening to this...

I suddenly understood why people were talking about it so enthusiastically behind my back.

Because these trivial matters are just hard to understand.

However, Lu Bolin was always a playboy, and his marriage to his wife was originally a business arrangement.

There's no real emotion involved.

After the birth of her eldest son, she spent more than half the year away from home.

It's not surprising that they keep several outside.

But people like that, even if they raise fish outside, usually manage their fishponds very well.

At least he won't get a woman pregnant, and he certainly won't go around showing up in front of the wife.

Moreover, Lu Bolin and his group, who cared most about orthodoxy, already looked down on Lu Bozhou's father, Lu Hong, for being born to a second wife.

did not expect……

And judging from this, his wife has admitted to the affair and the illegitimate child.

Jiang Mian breathed a sigh of relief, if today's family dinner was because of Lu Bolin's illegitimate son's recognition of his ancestral lineage.

At least it has nothing to do with Lu Bozhou... No, when Jiang Mian thought of this, she wished she could hit herself.

I quickly stopped thinking about it and changed my mind. Today's family dinner has little to do with Lu Chaochi.

She was relieved.

But soon, several cooks could be heard continuing their discussion.

"More than that. An illegitimate child is nothing in the Lu family. If it were just to let this baby be recognized as a member of the family, they wouldn't have let Young Master Bozhou come back."

"That's true, aren't there still guests today?"

The cook clearly dragged out the syllables when she said the word "guest".

This makes the tone sound somewhat ambiguous and meaningful.

Just like this guest, he's quite extraordinary.

Just then, another cook let out a soft sigh.

Jiang Mian also recognized the cook; her surname was Zheng.

She was older, so she used to call her Aunt Zheng.

Aunt Zheng sighed, her voice tinged with sadness, "It's been five years since Mianmian passed away."

Jiang Mian, who had been chopping vegetables at a steady pace, suddenly stopped.

As soon as he said that, the entire kitchen seemed to fall silent instantly.

Several seconds later, the sound returned.

"Yes, that's why they're in such a hurry. Young Master Bozhou is at the prime of his life, and the little young master is at an age where he needs to be taken care of. That's why they want to make arrangements for Young Master Bozhou."

"It seems that both elders are quite satisfied with Miss Qiu."

Miss Qiu?

Jiang Mian was stunned when she heard the name.

Because she knew who this Miss Qiu was.

Qiu Fenglan had a crush on Lu Bozhou from the beginning.

And it's no wonder that the cook said the elders were very satisfied.

Not only are they very satisfied now, but back then, before Jiang Mian and Lu Bozhou got married...

Lu Hong and Yan Ke were even more satisfied with Qiu Fenglan and hoped that Lu Bozhou could marry Qiu Fenglan.

But by a twist of fate, he could only marry Jiang Mian.

It seems that Qiu Fenglan didn't stay in Luocheng after that, but unexpectedly, she's back now.

And he became involved with Lu Bozhou again.

Jiang Mian pursed her lips slightly, continued chopping vegetables, and listened to their discussion.

I want to hear what else they have to say. Will there be any further news?

She didn't know why she cared, but for some reason, she felt a little nervous.

So today's family banquet is not just about letting the illegitimate child recognize his ancestors.

Is it also to set Lu Bozhou up on a blind date? "Qiqi is asking for votes and favorites! Hope everyone will support her, mwah!"
