This year's Chinese New Year is earlier than in previous years. Not long after New Year's Day, the Chinese New Year is coming soon.On New Year's Eve, according to the annual practice of the Lu family, the whole family gathers at the old house for a family feast to keep the year old.
Lu Jinghan hated this party since he was a child.
The relatives of Chunlu's family gather, all the aunts and mothers-in-law gather together, either boasting about their own children, or discussing gossip about someone else's family.
They had no mother since they were young, and their father kept a mistress and an illegitimate child outside. The two brothers and sister Lu Jinghan, who were still beside the grandfather in the old house and ignored them, became the objects of sympathy and care for all relatives in turn every year.
"Oh, what a pity, I lost my mother at such a young age."
"The same goes for Sheng Lin. Such a cute pair of brothers and sisters don't care, how can they bear it?"
"If the stepmother is really married in, what will happen to the two children?"
……
However, this is just the beginning. Later, in front of the two brothers and sisters, we will tell how Lu Jinghan's father met a mistress outside, how he broke up with Lu Jinghan's mother, how he had an illegitimate child, how his mistress was arrogant, etc.
Year after year, over and over again, tirelessly speaking.
Undoubtedly, the scars in the hearts of the brothers and sisters were peeled off again and again, and the childhood mood felt the pain of hurting the mother time and time again.
Standing among a kind of relatives, instead of feeling caring, it is more lonely and helpless.Gradually, both of them understood that these people seemed to be sympathetic, but they were secretly ridiculing and gloating.
This situation got even worse until Lu Jinghan became more and more excellent and was hand-picked by Lord Lu as the next successor of the Lu Group.
How can a child without a father or a mother be better than the child raised in the palm of his own family.
It's different growing up beside the old man, he looks quite indifferent, and I don't know how to please the old man.
If you marry Miss Xie's family, you can get the Lu family name, the old man must be confused.
……
Sympathy has become jealousy, hatred, and even secret rivalry.
The two brothers and sisters are tired of these people, and every year they spend the New Year with their stomach full of anger.
However, today is different.
In the morning, Lu Jinghan received a call from Lao Zhai, and Lu Lao told him to bring Xiao Mu over to have dinner together when he came.
The Lu family's New Year's Eve family banquet has never been given to outsiders so far.Even Li Hui, who has been with Lu Shenglin for nearly 20 years, and their son Lu Jingxuan, have not participated.
The meaning of the old man is self-evident.
Lu Jinghan drove the car briskly, with Jing Yi sitting in the back and Xia Xiaomu sitting next to him.
"So suddenly, I didn't prepare anything." Xia Xiaomu, who was suddenly called to the family banquet, asked sadly.
"I want to give my grandpa a painting, but I've been preparing for the European art exhibition recently, and I don't have a single piece of work that I can sell. Wouldn't it be good to go there empty-handed?"
"No, it's just a meal. You will be happy when you go to his old man's house."
Jing Yi sat in the back of the car: "Brother Xiao Mu, if the relatives in the old house ask you, just say that you were invited by grandpa. They talk to you, and you don't care about them."
Xia Xiaomu:? ?
I felt even more uneasy: "He, what will they say?"
Lu Jinghan: "Don't listen to Jing Yi's nonsense, when the time comes, you will follow me, and no one will dare to say anything about you."
The banquet hall was still in the living room of the last birthday banquet, but the scale was much smaller and the atmosphere was much more relaxed. Ten tables were placed in the center, and the pre-dinner appetizers, drinks and snacks had already been placed.
In addition, they are all from their own family, so there is no need to consider etiquette.The children shuttled around every corner of the hall, running around with laughter and laughter.
The adults are in one group or another, and the elders and the family are chatting happily, and it seems that they are having a good time.
It's just that after Lu Jinghan stepped into the arena, someone yelled: "Hey, this is not Jinghan."
As soon as the voice fell, the decibels on the field gradually dropped, and it was close to silence for a moment.Almost left and right eyes "swiped" over.
Xia Xiaomu: ...
He knew that Lu Jinghan's Lu family had always been "attractive", but this was too exaggerated.
The eyes of everyone are different, ranging from plain, mocking, contemptuous, questioning, and the people looking at it feel like their backs are on their backs and their bodies are hairy.
It was as if an invisible barrier had been formed in the hall, automatically separating the brothers and sisters.
Lu Jinghan pulled Xiao Mu down, bowed his head and said softly, "Don't worry, let's go and find Grandpa."
Xiao Mu turned her head to look at Jing Yi. The little girl raised her head and seemed to follow behind arrogantly, but there was gloom in her always playful eyes.
Feeling sore in my heart, no wonder the brothers and sisters in the book will go astray and fall in love with someone, even if they give everything, they are willing.
I have lived in such a Lu family since I was a child, and I seem to be a member of a big family, but in fact I grow up lonely and helpless.
In fact, I want real care more than anyone else.
Growing up in such an environment, as long as someone gives them a little bit of true love, their dry hearts can be moistened.
A middle-aged aunt closest to them had a fake smile on her face:
"Hey, Jing Han, who is this? The Lu family's New Year's Eve banquet is never allowed to bring outsiders. If it's assistants or subordinates, it's time to go."
Before the words finished, Wu Yue came over.
As the eldest aunt of the Lu family, she also has the highest status among the women of the Lu family, and she knows the most things.
In addition, during this period of time, Lu Jinghan did not hide the relationship between Xia Xiaomu and Xia Xiaomu, and the two went in and out together in a high-profile manner.
It has long attracted Wu Yue's attention, and the relationship between the two has also been investigated.
She walked over and glanced at her: "You don't even know who this is, wow, a talented painter who was handed over to Lu Jinghan to take care of by the old man before. People are buying houses."
Xia Xiaomu felt very uncomfortable listening to the words.
Wu Yue pursed her lips: "Jing Han is capable, now most of the positions in Lu's upper management have been taken over by your people, and when the board of directors is held in March, the meeting will vote, and the president of Lu's is still in his pocket.
However, Auntie advises you to have a degree in everything, and to be able to do what you can. If this person is not filial, even if you take over the Lu family, so what, it will still be looked down upon by outsiders. "
Lu Jinghan took a step forward and blocked half of Xia Xiaomu's body: "Auntie, why am I not filial?"
Wu Yue glanced at Xia Xiaomu sideways, and said with a chin: "Why did you bring someone here? Isn't it just to annoy the old man? A while ago, I broke off the engagement with Miss Xie's family, which already made the old man ill. No matter how you say it, it was the old man's hand." Bringing up a child, tsk tsk, it's chilling."
Lu Jingyi sneered, and walked to the front: "You have to be self-righteous. You have lived almost half your life, and you still don't have a heart, which makes people laugh."
Wu Yue: "You, what nonsense is this girl talking about? It's true that the older you get, the more unruly you become."
"Rules? I don't know, who has no rules, doesn't understand anything, and just talks nonsense here. Brother Mu, grandpa called and invited him in person. He is so gossip in front of guests. Auntie, as an elder, doesn't care. Don't you think it's impolite to say it and make people laugh at our Lu family's way of hospitality."
"Jingyi."
Lu Jinghan stopped her.He turned back and smiled lightly at Xia Xiaomu: "Xiao Mu, don't worry, some people in my family are not very sensible, and I made you laugh."
Wu Yue was so angry that he wanted to curse, he pointed at Lu Jinghan and shouted: "Who are you saying is ignorant? Don't let people talk about your shit. When the old man sees him, hehe, our Lu family can let men come in and talk about it." Make jokes."
Lu Jinghan reminded her meaningfully: "Auntie, don't talk too much, otherwise Brother Jingcheng, but, what, what, what to do?"
The last sentence is a rhetorical question word by word.
Let the people around look at Wu Yue immediately.
"What's the matter with my Jing Cheng?" Wu Yue looked at the people around him and hurriedly explained: "What nonsense is this kid talking about?"
However, the conversation between the two brought together the topics of the people present. After Lu Jinghan passed by, they whispered: "No way, the two are really related? Does the old man know?"
"I heard that she is good at painting. Her name is Xia Xiaomu. The old man likes it."
"Have you heard of this name? What is your background?"
"The family background is not bad. Some time ago, there was a lot of news, remember? Master Zhou Tingsheng took a work called Xia Qianbai and acted as his own. After being discovered, Xia Qianbai became famous in one fell swoop. Now known as a hermit artist, a painting sold for 500 million, seems to be the father of this Xia Xiaomu."
"It is said that Xie Wen was the one who exposed Zhou Ting. Does a powerful lady like the Xie family have anything to do with Xia Qianbai?"
"Let's not talk about them for now. Seeing that Jing Han brought people here with confidence, he should be ready to make it public, and the old man may agree. But this child looks pretty good."
The eldest aunt couldn't hold back her face: "No matter what, he is a man, and they are really planning to be together. Our Lu family is such a big family, and we are not afraid of being laughed at if we tell this matter."
"Sister-in-law, you can't say that. There are more men with men these days. Before gender, love is equal."
"It's not your child. You talk coolly. I don't believe that the old man will agree with them."
In the bustle and bustle, Lu Lao entered the arena with a smile, looked around, and shouted: "Xiao Mu, come and sit with me."
The people at the family banquet immediately looked at the two of them, and everyone's eyes widened in an instant, and someone who was drinking water spit it out with a "poof", coughing uncontrollably.
It turned out that Lu Jinghan was holding Xia Xiaomu's hand, and the two walked towards Mrs. Lu, one left and one right.Xia Xiaomu struggled embarrassingly, but Lu Jinghan not only held it tighter, but also turned around and smiled at him.
There is tenderness in the eyes.
The eyes of the people present were about to drop: Jing Han, this boy, is too blatant.
As expected, the old man's complexion turned bad, and when the two came over, he slapped Lu Jinghan on the arm: "You deserve it too!"
He shouted happily again: "Xiao Mu, come here, don't be with that brat."
Lu Jinghan hated this party since he was a child.
The relatives of Chunlu's family gather, all the aunts and mothers-in-law gather together, either boasting about their own children, or discussing gossip about someone else's family.
