Madam Li even pulled Mingxuan aside and said, "Xiaoxuan, the kitchen has made your favorite Eight Treasure Duck. Come with me to try it and see if our master chef's cooking skills have deteriorated or if there is anything that needs improvement."

"You don't know, the chef has been looking forward to your coming. He said that you have a good taste and can tell the difference between good and bad food. You can help improve his cooking skills. You must not disappoint the chef!"

Madam Li held Mingxuan, and no matter how angry Mingxuan was, he couldn't shake her off.

Mingxuan had no choice but to follow Madam Li.

As soon as he left, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly relaxed.

Ming Jinyan walked to Lu Shenxing's side, gave him a thumbs up, and said, "Mr. Lu is great. He can resolve the crisis with just a few words. I admire you."

Lu Shenxing smiled faintly and said, "What do you admire? I can't compare to Master Ming."

Ming Jinyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Oh? It's rare that Mr. Lu would admit that he is not as good as me."

"Of course I admit it," Lu Shenxing said sincerely, "After all, I can't use my relatives as pawns. I am really ashamed of myself for such means."

"Does Mr. Lu think that I was the one who instigated my adoptive father to come to the Li family today? It's normal for you to have such thoughts. But I can only say that Mr. Lu has a deep misunderstanding of me."

"I am an upright person and would never do such things as gossiping and stirring up trouble."

Lu Shenxing immediately said, "There is no misunderstanding. I believe Mr. Ming is not such a person. He knows that Ming Yi and I are already married and our love is stronger than gold, so he will definitely not do something like stealing someone else's wife, right?"

Ming Jinyan smiled, but his eyes were cold: "Boss Lu, are you setting a trap for me?"

"How could that be? I believe in Mr. Ming's character. Does Mr. Ming think that your character is not good enough for me to trust?"

"My character is trustworthy enough."

"I knew that Master Ming would not let me down," Lu Shenxing smiled and said sincerely, "When the family dinner starts, we must have a good drink together! Master Ming, see you later."

Ming Jinyan nodded, but the expression on his face became gloomy as he turned around.

Damn it, he was actually fooled by Lu Shenxing's words.

He turned around and saw Lu Shenxing leaning close to Song Mingyi, whispering to her with his head down, and the expression on his face became increasingly gloomy.

He would never give up so easily.

Since Song Mingyi is his fiancée, he must get her!

Otherwise, in the eyes of others, he would be a complete loser who couldn't even protect his fiancée.

Ming Jinyan's gaze was too strong, and it was like a knife blade when it fell on her body. Song Mingyi said, "This Ming Jinyan is not as pure as he appears to be."

"Well, I know that I won't be tricked by him." Lu Shenxing said as he put his arms around Song Mingyi's waist.

When he raised his arm, Lu Shenxing deliberately took a breath of cold air.

Song Mingyi turned around and asked him, "What happened? Did you have a fight with your cousins?"

Lu Shenxing said: "It's nothing, it doesn't hurt, I fell down accidentally, it wasn't my cousin who beat me up."

Song Mingyi listened to Lu Shenxing's explanation. If the expression on his face wasn't so pitiful, Song Mingyi would still be able to believe him.

Seeing him like this, how could Song Mingyi not know Lu Shenxing's little thoughts?

This is just pretending to be pitiful to her.

But Song Mingyi was willing to indulge Lu Shenxing's little thoughts.

She held Lu Shenxing's hand and blew gently on the bruise on the back of his hand: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Several cousins ​​standing by couldn't help but snort when they saw Lu Shenxing's performance.

If there was no video recording, they would have let their cousin see how ferociously this guy beat someone up just now.

They're in pain too, okay?

Besides, if they didn’t have so many people today, they would definitely fall into Lu Shenxing’s hands.

Soon, the family dinner began.

There were a lot of people in the Li family, and it took eight tables to seat everyone.

Originally, Song Mingyi was supposed to sit at the main table with Old Madam Li, but before the meal started, her aunt came to find Song Mingyi and took her to their table.

The eldest aunt was afraid that Song Mingyi would think too much, so she held her hand and said, "Mingyi, don't think too much. Your grandmother is afraid that you will have to accompany Ming San at the main table, and she will feel uncomfortable."

Song Mingyi nodded and said, "I know, I know grandma's good intentions."

It would be uncomfortable indeed.

Although she is no longer the young girl who has no ability to protect herself, she still feels a little uncomfortable when facing Mingxuan.

No matter what, it was her mother who betrayed Mingxuan, and Mingxuan has been single for so many years because of it.

This also prevented her from making such a powerful counterattack when facing Mingxuan.

Song Mingyi smiled and said, "And I also want to sit with my aunt."

My aunt was so happy when she heard this, she said, "Ming Yi is really considerate, not like the brats at home, who always open their mouths like knives, which makes people angry when they hear them!"

My second aunt also said, "Yes, when we went out to a banquet, I asked our eldest son to sit with me. Guess what he said? He said, 'Mom, can't you take care of yourself? Now you want me to take care of you?'"

"I was so angry that I wanted to stuff that brat back into my stomach and rebuild it!"

The third aunt also complained: "I asked our third daughter to go shopping with me before, but she complained about sore feet after walking a few steps! You don't know how much I envy those mothers and daughters who go shopping together!"

Fourth Aunt said, "From now on, we don't have to be envious! We can go shopping with Ming Yi! Looking at the whole capital, how many young ladies can compare to Ming Yi? If we go out, we will be envied to death!"

Fifth Aunt immediately said, "Ming Yi! Fifth Aunt will have an event tomorrow, you will definitely accompany Fifth Aunt to participate, right?"

In fact, Song Mingyi really didn't like to participate in any activities, but looking at the eager eyes of his fifth aunt, Song Mingyi couldn't even say a word of refusal.

"If Fifth Aunt doesn't mind, I'll go with her tomorrow."

"And what about me, Mingyi! I have a cocktail party the day after tomorrow night. Will you accompany me?" It was the sixth aunt who spoke.

The other aunts were not to be outdone and asked Song Mingyi to accompany them to the party.

Song Mingyi didn't mind attending a few parties, but she only planned to stay in Beijing for three days, so she apologized to the other aunts: "I will go back to Haicheng with Shenxing in three days. I want to spend a day with grandma the day after tomorrow. The next time I come to Beijing, I will definitely accompany the aunts to attend the banquet, okay?"

When Song Mingyi mentioned leaving, the atmosphere at the table suddenly became bad.

They were reluctant to say anything to Song Mingyi, so they directed their anger towards Li Xiao.

My aunt said unhappily, "Seventh Brother, what are you eating over there?"

Li Xiao raised his head, looking confused: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

My aunt was so angry that she shouted, "What's wrong? You still have the nerve to ask me what's wrong! Don't you see how old you are and you're still single?"

"I'm telling you, if you don't bring back your seventh brother's wife for the New Year this year, you're not allowed to go home! Do you hear me?"
