The weather is nice today, and a few people are drinking tea and appreciating flowers in the pavilion, which is quite pleasant.

Among them was a middle-aged woman in a crimson cheongsam, who sat there gracefully, as if blending into the surrounding environment. Her temperament was simple and elegant, with a hint of Zen.

She saw Lu Qiongqi, stood up gracefully, and called out, "Qiqi is here, come to your aunt."

This person is Lu Fengping, Lu Qiongqi's aunt.

The young woman next to her didn't look like her and wasn't as graceful as Lu Fengping. She just had an ordinary appearance, but her clothes were very gorgeous. She was wearing a pearly gold satin skirt.

Qin Shi walked out of the pavilion and came to greet Lu Qiongqi, with an inexplicable joy in her tone.

"Cousin, you're finally here!"

Lu Fengping has only one child, Qin Shi, but since her divorce, she has returned to her parents' home and lives in the old house of the Lu family with her daughter.

Lu Qiongqi refused Qin Shi's attempt to hold her hand, and went up the stairs by herself and walked into the pavilion.

She looked around. This place was very livable, and the terrain and feng shui were good.

Her eyes fell on the stacks of exquisite pastries, all in various colors and flavors.

Qin Shi introduced with some pride.

"Qiqi, this is the cake and snack made by the chef that my uncle specially hired from Suzhou. You can try some of them. They are delicious."

Her uncle is Lu Qiongqi's father Lu Fengkai.

But why would Lu Fengkai like sweets that women like to eat? It was obvious that he was doing this to please the mother and son.

As usual, Qin Shi looked for envious looks in Lu Qiongqi's eyes, but today, her eyes were like a pool of still water, without any ripples.

She was unwilling to give up and continued, "Qiqi, do you think my dress is pretty? This is also a gift from my uncle on a business trip. I heard that it contains pearl powder and gold thread, and it needs to be hand-woven by an embroiderer."

"No matter how valuable it is, I'm very happy that my uncle cares about me," Qin Shi added.

How could it not be expensive?

The pearls used are Haidong purple pearls, and the gold thread is 24K pure gold.

Lu Qiongqi took a quick look and commented, "It's really good. This pheasant is embroidered so lifelike."

Qin Shi pulled up the hem of her skirt and said unhappily, "Take a closer look. It's clearly a golden phoenix flapping its wings. Forget it. You've never seen such a good thing. I won't argue with you."

Lu Qiongqi did not respond to her words, but walked straight to the stone bench, pulled the cushion from Qin Shi's seat, arranged it neatly, and sat down leisurely.

Lu Fengping stroked the teacup and said nonchalantly, "What about a chicken? What about a phoenix? A poor phoenix is ​​not even as good as a chicken. What do you think, Qiqi?"

Lu Qiongqi knew in her heart that these sharp words were directed at her, a down-and-out phoenix in the eyes of others.

Because of her mother, poor health since childhood and lack of favor from her father, Lu Qiongqi's status in the Lu family is awkward. She is like a fallen phoenix.

Normally, the original owner would only respond timidly to such sarcastic remarks.

But now, they have finally hit a wall.

Lu Qiongqi's tone was cold: "Aunt really hit the nail on the head. After you divorced the Qin family, you have been living in your natal family, with a daughter who I don't know where she came from. One is a poor phoenix, and the other is a wild chicken."

"You two mother and daughter really share the same suffering."

"Aunt and cousin, don't you think so?"

Her words were like a sharp sword, piercing mercilessly into the hearts of the mother and daughter.

Qin Shi's face turned pale instantly. Her life experience was her biggest taboo.

She suppressed her anger, her voice trembling slightly: "What are you talking about? Can you tell me again?"

A hand with marigold manicure reached out, and Lu Fengping gently held her daughter's hand.

Her phoenix eyes became sharp, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes became deeper. She reminded and warned.

"Qiqi, this is the Lu family, not somewhere else."

Lu Qiongqi was not afraid at all: "Yes, aunt, cousin, this is the Lu family."

She is Lu Fengkai's biological daughter and the legitimate daughter of the Lu family.

Lu Fengping looked at her deeply, and suddenly smiled gently: "Child, when did you become so eloquent? After all, you were not raised in the old house of the Lu family. Zhan Yan was usually too busy and didn't take good care of you."

When Qin Shi heard Lu Zhanyan's name, she smiled and said in a tender voice, "Yes, Big Brother has to manage the entire Lu Group. You should understand how hard it is for him. It's best not to bother him."

Lu Zhanyan didn't take good care of himself?

Did I cause trouble to Lu Zhanyan?

Lu Qiongqi sneered in his heart. This mother and daughter pair were really good at confusing right and wrong.

She knew clearly that the reason why the original owner had a weak relationship with her eldest brother was because of the mother and daughter's instigation. In this family, Lu Zhanyan was the only one who treated her sincerely.

She looked up and looked directly into Lu Fengping's eyes, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.

"My aunt and cousin seem to know my brother's daily schedule very well, but I don't think I have caused any trouble to him. As for what you said, I will just treat it as crazy talk."

"What are you talking about? You look so happy." A middle-aged man's deep voice came from a distance.

They all turned their heads to look over there. The man had slightly gray hair on his temples, an arrogant look, and thick wrinkles between his brows.

Lu Fengkai was sitting in a wheelchair and was slowly pushed up from the ramp nearby.

His eyes inadvertently passed by Lu Qiongqi, but he automatically ignored her and said to the mother and daughter: "I heard your voices from far away."

Qin Shi came forward with a smile on her face: "Whose voice did you hear, uncle, that made you so fascinated?"

Lu Fengkai tapped her forehead with his finger and said lovingly, "Of course it's you, the naughty girl!"

Lu Fengping also came over and carefully covered Lu Fengkai's legs with her blanket, saying with a reproachful tone: "Brother Kai, why did you come out in such a cold day? Why don't you put on more clothes?"

Looking at this scene, Lu Qiongqi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"why are you laughing?"

The laughter caught Lu Fengkai's attention. He retracted his smile and frowned.

Lu Qiongqi remained seated, looking directly into his sharp, scrutinizing eyes: "I am laughing. This scene of an uncle loving his niece is really filial to me."

Lu Fengping stroked his shoulder and whispered softly, "Brother Kai, she is still a child, why should we get angry with her?"

Lu Fengkai's brows furrowed even more tightly, the wrinkles on his face became more obvious, and he showed signs of dissatisfaction.

"Just now I heard you say that Zhan Yan was too busy to look after her. What did she do to upset you?"

Lu Fengping opened her mouth, a look of embarrassment appeared on her face, and she shook her head slightly.

"Nothing, she didn't make me unhappy."

"Mom, why didn't you tell my uncle that Qiqi just now..." Qin Shi said indignantly.

Lu Qiongqi stood up and spoke frankly.

"I provoked it."
