Lu Jinghan didn't mind his grandfather's cold face towards him at all, and took Jingyi to sit beside Xia Xiaomu.

Xia Xiaomu didn't sit down immediately, he bowed slightly, and said embarrassedly: "Grandpa Lu, I wish you an early New Year greeting. I'm sorry, I didn't bring anything when I came here today. When I go back, I will definitely draw a picture for Grandpa as a gift for the Spring Festival."

Grandpa Lu cheerfully pulled him to sit next to him: "What gift do you want? I called you suddenly. Nothing else, it's the Chinese New Year. As a grandfather, I should give you some lucky money."

Afterwards, the butler handed over a thick red envelope: "Not many, but each of the children of the Lu family has a share."

The people at the family banquet had long since Lu Jinghan openly held a man's hand without any scruples, and their jaws almost dropped in astonishment. They would watch the old man talking to Xia Xiaomu even more intently.

The old man's words were heard word by word by everyone present.

In front of everyone in the Lu family, the act of giving Xiao Mu a red envelope is equivalent to acknowledging that he will be a child of the Lu family in the future, and it also means acknowledging the relationship between Lu Jinghan and the two of them.

His amiable attitude towards Xia Xiaomu is also a warning to everyone, this child is what I want to love, don't look for things in private.

Lu family members look at me and I look at yours. Some people are in disbelief, while others shake their heads and sigh.

Waiting to see a good show, Wu Yue was feeling angrily at this moment, why did the old man turn a blind eye to Lu Jinghan's fight for power and power in the Lu family so fiercely.Now that he brings a man back, and the old man likes it so much, why can he do whatever he wants!

She pushed her son Lu Jingcheng in dissatisfaction, and pouted at the old man.Lu Jingcheng was unmoved, looking at Lu Jinghan and Xia Xiaomu with complicated expressions, thoughtful.

Xia Xiaomu understood Grandpa Lu's intention of calling him over suddenly, his heart was warm, and all the uneasiness was swept away.There is nothing more joyful than being recognized by the parents of the person you like.

He took the red envelope generously, with a pair of slender eyes smiling and sparkling, and said in a crisp voice: "Thank you, Grandpa Lu, I wish you good health and all the best in the new year."

Grandpa Lu looked into his eyes, came over for a while, and then said joyfully: "Hey, hey, good boy...sit down and eat something. I'll let them make it for you if you want to eat anything else."

After all, it was the first time to formally meet the Lu family, and Xia Xiaomu couldn't sit at the dining table to eat all the time. After chatting with Grandpa Lu for a while, she began to follow Jing Han and greet the other elders of the Lu family one by one.

With the old man's attitude first, the relatives didn't dare to neglect Xia Xiaomu because of the old man's face, so they hurriedly wrapped red envelopes for him and exchanged polite greetings.

The amount of the red envelope is estimated to be the Lu family's rule, and the thickness of each red envelope received by Xia Xiaomu is the same.After a pleasant exchange, dozens of them were harvested, and they were heavy to carry in the handbag.

Xia Xiaomu's heart was more joyful than the red envelope. He knew in his heart that today's scene was recognized by Brother Jing Han's family, and the two of them could be together frankly from now on.

At this moment, Lu Jinghan came over with a middle-aged man, both of them obviously looked very unhappy.

"Xiao Mu, this is my father."

Lu Jinghan walked up to Xia Xiaomu's side, supported his arm with one hand, and glanced at Lu Shenglin faintly: "He wants to see you, come and say hello."

After all, they are father and son, and there are many similarities between their eyebrows and eyes. When they don't talk or laugh, they have a demeanor that is not angry but prestige.

Xia Xiaomu was nervous, holding the hand full of red envelopes, almost dropped, he stammered and said: "Lu, Uncle Lu, I wish you a New Year greeting."

Lu Shenglin looked at him, said "Yes", and handed over a red envelope like other relatives: "Xia Xiaomu? Not a bad boy, Jing Han is lucky to meet you."

Xia Xiaomu took it and weighed it in his hand. He felt that it was heavier than other relatives. He bowed slightly: "Thank you, thank you uncle."

Lu Shenglin didn't say much to him, he simply dealt with it and left.

Lu Jinghan: "You stay with Jing Yi first, I'll go talk to him about something."

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Xia Xiaomu suddenly thought of something.

In the original book, after Lu Jinghan took over the Lu family, that is, this year, Lu Shenglin had murderous intentions against Lu Jinghan, and even secretly found someone on the road to do it, but in the end it still ended in failure.

Although Lu Jinghan had long regarded the relationship between father and son very lightly, when he learned that his biological father planned to assassinate him, he still smiled sadly.

But now many things have happened, all of which are different from the plot of the original book.I also heard that Brother Jing Han no longer prevented Lu Shenglin from marrying Li Hui, so Lu Shenglin wouldn't do anything to Brother Jing Han anymore.

Xia Xiaomu felt uneasy.

Because Xiao Mu had to go home to celebrate the new year with Xia Qianbai, after simply eating some food at the banquet, Lu Jinghan took him and Jing Yi to bid farewell to grandpa and leave the banquet early.

While driving, Lu Jinghan slowly said to Jingyi: "I agree to their marriage, but your custody will be with me, and he also promised me that he will not interfere with your life and mine."

He should be their father, Lu Shenglin.

Xia Xiaomu breathed a sigh of relief. The content of the original book, because after Lu Jinghan came to power, he more forcefully prevented Lu Shenglin from marrying Li Hui, and kept preventing their child Lu Jingxuan from entering the Lu family tree. There was a killing intent.

The matter between Lu Shenglin and Li Hui has been a knot in Lu Jinghan's heart since he was young. It contains the sadness, unwillingness, hatred and potential self-protection consciousness after his mother died of illness.

Now, Brother Jing Han finally thought about it, let go, and he should feel a lot more relaxed.Xia Xiaomu glanced at the side face who was concentrating on driving, and wanted to touch him sadly.

Jing Yi sat in the back row and paused for a long time before she spoke: "Brother, thank you.... After all these years, we finally survived."

She understood that whether it was Lu Jinghan who tried his best to get Lu Shi, or stubbornly preventing Lu Shenglin from getting married, it was all to protect her and build a safer and stronger environment for her to grow up.

Now that my brother has enough ability, even at today's gathering, the relatives are not as arrogant as last year. It can be seen that they are afraid of my brother.

Now that I have grown up, I can take care of myself.There is no need to worry about having a stepmother, and having to live with Lu Shenglin and Li Hui and being treated harshly.

"Brother Mu, thank you too." Jing Yi said again.

Xia Xiaomu turned her head and smiled at her, "Thank me for what?"

"After you came to the house, everything changed for the better. Especially my brother, who used to be very stubborn, but now he is much more cheerful. Sometimes I always feel that you are here to save us."

Lu Jinghan glanced at her in the rearview mirror, but didn't speak.

Xia Xiaomu raised the bag full of red envelopes in his hand, "I just want to thank you, eating a meal and gaining so much."

Jing Yi sincerely handed over a bunch of red envelopes she received: "You like red envelopes, I will give you all mine."

Xia Xiaomu: "No matter how much I like you, I can't want you. I'm an older brother, so I should give it to you. How about this? I'll go home tonight and pack one for you tomorrow."

Jing Yi tilted her head and smiled: "Okay."

Xia Qianbai made dumplings, and waited for Xia Xiaomu to come back before cooking them in the pot.

"Mumu, how about eating at Lu's house?"

"Grandpa Lu is very kind to me. There are so many relatives in their family. Each of them gave me a red envelope, which contained so much. I haven't counted it yet. It is estimated to be hundreds of thousands."

Xia Xiaomu has already started eating dumplings: "Huh? Three delicacies stuffed? Don't you not like shrimp?"

"That's right, I packed a few more."

Xia Qianbai lowered his head and packed two lunch boxes, one of boiled dumplings and one of fried dumplings, and said slowly, "Mu Mu, take this to Professor Xie."

"She shouldn't be at home. When I just passed by, I saw that there was no light in her house. She should have returned to her hometown."

"She just came back, I saw it."

Xia Xiaomu burst into laughter, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and took the lunch box from Xia Qianbai's hand: "Have you been staring at his house?"

Xia Qianbai bowed his head embarrassedly and smiled: "If she doesn't like this... Tell her that there are other stuffings and side dishes at home. If she wants to eat, you can come back and get them for her."

Last month, Zhou Tingsheng was asked for a painting by the young master of the Qiao family in a high-profile manner, and then the scandal of embezzlement of students' works broke out. When the public opinion pushed it to the forefront twice in a row, Lu Jinghan released the video.

As Zhou Tingsheng's topic became popular, after the video came out, Xia Qianbai's name spread far and wide.Especially in the video, Xia Qianbai's handsome face looked back at the camera with a shy smile, and said with some pleading: "Don't, don't take pictures."

It has attracted many female fans.Everyone was asking overnight, who is the handsome man with long hair in the video?

Afterwards, Xie Wen made a public speech, confirming that the video was shot by herself, and pushed the popularity of Xia Qianbai and his work "Oasis" to the peak.

In the past month, Xia Qianbai's name has spread all over the country, and because of Xie Wen's influence, there have been related reports in foreign art circles.

In addition, he was quarreled by public opinion, but he still didn't come forward, which added a sense of mystery. He was called a hermit artist, and his value soared.Even the cedar scene painted at Qifengtai last time was taken by the art dealer and auctioned for 100 million.

After the public opinion gradually calmed down, Xie Wen and Xia Qianbai still did not exchange any words.

From time to time, Xie Wen would call Xia Xiaomu over to her home to prepare for the European Art Exhibition.Every time, Xia Qianbai would make some food for him to bring over.

Xia Xiaomu took the lunch box and teased him: "Can I invite someone to eat at home? At that time, I will go upstairs, and you two will watch the Spring Festival Gala downstairs."

Xia Qianbai saw a psychiatrist once a week recently. Although it was slow, it was getting better. He was able to take a walk in the community with Xia Xiaomu's company. Being alone with Xie Wen should not be a big problem.

"do not."

Xia Qianbai shook his head: "...she wants to be with you more, you stay at her house, spend more time with her."

Xie Wen just came back from her hometown, and Xie Weiwan was still by her side.

After seeing Xia Xiaomu knocking on the door, she took him into the room happily, and explained to him: "I drank some wine, and it was Wanwan who drove me back."

Out of politeness, Xia Xiaomu said to Xie Weiwan seriously: "Thank you, senior."

Xie Weiwan's face froze: "I just sent my aunt back, no thanks."

Obviously, this sentence didn't sound very pleasant to Xie Weiwan. Since Xie Wen confirmed that "Oasis" was painted by Xia Qianbai, she began to speculate about the relationship between Xie Wen and Xia Xiaomu.

Until she saw Xie Wen with tears in her eyes, she said to her parents: "Brother, sister-in-law, Xiao Mu is indeed my child, 20 years ago..."

Even if she didn't want to, she had to be willing to admit this fact.

It seemed that everything was lost at once, which made her feel lost.Lu Jinghan, the status and wealth that the Lu family could bring to her, and the future achievements that her aunt could bring to her, were all taken away by Xia Xiaomu.

She often thought, it would be great if she agreed to Lu Jinghan in the cafeteria that day, otherwise she wouldn't realize until now that what she had lost was an opportunity that ordinary people couldn't match.

Xie Wen was worried about another thing: "Xiao Mu, you said you went to Lu's family for New Year's Eve dinner just now, how did the Lu family treat you?"

Xie Weiwan immediately looked over.Lu Jinghan likes Xia Xiaomu, but it doesn't mean that Grandpa Lu likes him too, let alone dating and getting married with a man.

Moreover, Grandpa Lu always wanted her to be his grandson-in-law, even though Lu Jinghan didn't like her himself.It was impossible for Xia Xiaomu to be accepted by the Lu family.

Xia Xiaomu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa Lu is very kind to me. He kept me for dinner, and even took a bunch of lucky money from my uncles. I'm even embarrassed."

Xie Weiwan almost screamed: "How is that possible!"
