Chapter 228 Accident
Jiang Mian was also surprised. Did Lin Yu actually know Lu Zhi?
However, she thought again that Lin Yu's beastman identity should mean she didn't know Lu Zhi, but her human identity might indeed mean she did know him.

Seeing everyone's gazes, Lu Zhi paused for a moment before explaining, "This is Lin Yue, the head of our military region's StarNet, who is also the pioneer of CloudNet and is responsible for the security of the entire StarNet. She is a very capable chief technical officer."

He and Lin Yu didn't have much interaction in their lives; their only interaction was through work.

Lin Yu is a loner who doesn't have any particularly close friends and is a single person, so Lu Zhi was genuinely surprised to learn that he had gotten married.

Because Rinyu gives the impression that he will grow old alone.

He was a loner and extremely aloof.

Jiang Mian wasn't too surprised when he heard that the person in charge of StarNet was the same person who created CloudNet, but he was somewhat taken aback.

After all, it is quite surprising to hear someone's name in a place you are familiar with.

Did he already know she was sleepless?
Jiang Mian paused for a moment and looked at Lin Yu, but didn't ask the question right away, since this wasn't the place to chat.

However, her eyelids twitched. Such a high-level place as the military region, and such a confidential place with StarNet technology, was actually ruled by an orc.

The Empire is unaware that its military districts have also been captured by the orcs.
Jiang Mian felt a chill in her heart for some reason, as if the overthrow of human rule was a premeditated plan.

Many powerful orcs joined the plan without prior arrangement.

They didn't know each other, but without exception, they all wanted to overthrow human rule.

No one knows what Jiang Mian is thinking right now.

The others were all surprised when they heard Lu Zhi's introduction.

The chief technical officer of the military region and the founder of the cloud network—he was a big shot who had access to everyone's information.

At this moment, Jiang Yu seemed to understand something: why those chat logs she had destroyed and the recordings she had deleted had been exposed.

If it's this person, then it's possible.

Jiang Yu stared intently at Jiang Mian. It must be her!
Both Lu's mother and Jiang's mother were extremely surprised.

I initially thought he was just an ordinary programmer, but it turns out he's actually the chief technical officer of the military region.

That position was earned by selecting all the most skilled technicians in the empire and competing with all the most capable people in the empire.

For a moment, Lu's mother's face stiffened, then her expression became ingratiating as she hurriedly explained, "So you're the chief technical officer of the military region. I'm so sorry, I don't often deal with people from the military region, so I didn't recognize you."

Lin Yu also looked at her, but said expressionlessly, "Just don't arrange any more random marriages for your aunt."

Lu's mother gave an awkward laugh.

"Mom, let's go back." Lu Zhi frowned as well.

"Yes, Mother-in-law, I'm going back now." Mother Lu quickly replied.

"Why don't you stay for dinner?" Jiang's mother quickly stood up. "It's already so late, how can we leave without having dinner?"

At this time, the food had already been set on the dining table in the hall.

It wouldn't be good for Lu Zhi and the others to leave now, so they had no choice but to stay and have dinner.

Soon, the Jiang family, consisting of father and three sons, returned for dinner.

And just like that, it unexpectedly turned into a family dinner.

On the dining table.

After exchanging pleasantries, the Lu and Jiang families ate dinner together.

The Jiang family also learned about what happened online, and naturally, they also learned that Jiang Mian's academic theft was framed by Jiang Yu. For a moment, they were indeed somewhat disappointed in Jiang Yu, but after all, they had raised him for more than ten years, so it wasn't time to completely cut off contact, although their attitude wasn't as warm as before.

Jiang Qi was the one who found it hardest to accept this news. After all, his sister, who was so capable and kind in his eyes, was actually such a person in private. He never expected that she had obtained all her achievements by any means necessary.

So this meal wasn't as lively as usual.

"Qi, this is your favorite food, eat up." Jiang Yu put the food on Jiang Qi's plate.

Jiang Qi paused for a moment, then responded softly, "Oh."

Jiang Yu was waiting for Jiang Qi to say more, but he only responded and then fell silent. Jiang Yu waited a long time for Jiang Qi to speak more.

Jiang Yu paused. Jiang Qi was acting strangely today, not as warm as before. He seemed to be avoiding her, burying his head in his rice.

Her eyes flickered, as if she knew the reason.

Jiang Yu could also clearly sense that the Jiang family members no longer looked at her or mentioned her, as if they were deliberately ignoring her.

The fake smile on her lips stiffened slightly, and a dark feeling churned in her heart. Even if she wasn't their biological daughter, they had raised her for over twenty years. Why could they forgive Jiang Mian for making mistakes, but not her?

Dinner time passed in a calm yet tense atmosphere!
Lu Zhi and his mother bid farewell to the Jiang family and walked out with Jiang Yu.

Jiang Mian waved to them and led Lin Yu out.

Jiang Xu politely suggested, "Let me see you out."

He then went out with them.

For some reason, Jiang Qi also said, "I'll see you off too."

Jiang Liang, having nothing else to do, also went along to see the people off.

On the way out, Lu's mother couldn't help but speak up beside Lu Zhi: "Even if you can't be with Jiang Miancheng, you should break up with Jiang Yu. You don't know how much this woman you married makes me lose face in front of my friends. She laughs at me every time we go out to play cards!"

Jiang Yu, standing beside her, looked rather unwell, but now all she had left was the identity of the Lu family's daughter-in-law.

"Mom, I'll be a good person from now on," Jiang Yu quickly said with a fawning smile.

Lu's mother just glanced at her coldly, feeling that Jiang Yu was not good enough for her son.

She ignored Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu's smile froze.

The group arrived at the door.

A breeze blew by, carrying a wisp of moisture, and a slow rain began to fall.

Before long, the wind picked up, and a sudden downpour followed.

"It's raining." Mrs. Lu frowned.

If you don't have an umbrella, you'll get rained on the way from the gate to the car door.

"Please wait a moment, Mother-in-law. I've already sent someone to fetch an umbrella," Jiang Xu said politely, also turning to Jiang Mian and adding, "Mianmian, please wait here for a bit as well."

The group had no choice but to wait at the door.

Lu's mother could have had the driver come to pick them up with an umbrella, but since Lu Xu had already said so, she didn't want to go against his wishes, so she waited.

The heavy rain poured down, and the moisture, carrying a chill, seeped into my sleeves, leaving me feeling damp and greasy.
