Chapter 7 A Glutton Arrives at the Lu Family Banquet? The Madman of Nanyuan
And so, all the dishes that Jiang's mother had painstakingly prepared all night were taken away by them, leaving only the ruins of Jiang's uncle's house and his wounded body.
When Jiang Mingyue told her about Jiang Yu's outburst at the old house, Jiang's mother felt both gratified and heartbroken.
"Xiao Bao, you've worked hard today, eat more!" Jiang's mother kept putting food on her plate.
Father Jiang, however, looked worried and troubled.
"Honey, what's wrong?" Jiang's mother noticed his mood. "Are you angry because Xiaobao hit your older brother and the others?"
"How could that be?" Father Jiang quickly explained, "It's just that today, Dad and my eldest brother proposed that Xuyao replace Mingyue in the marriage alliance with the Lu family."
"What? You agreed?" Jiang's mother was shocked.
"Of course not," Jiang's father shook his head and sighed. "I'm just afraid they won't let this go."
"They've really gone too far. It's bad enough that they make things difficult for us all the time, but now they're even trying to steal Mingyue's engagement." Mother Jiang said sadly, tears streaming down her face.
Mr. Jiang hugged Mrs. Jiang to comfort her, sighing repeatedly.
After finishing the last piece of pork rib, Jiang Yu finally raised her head, elegantly wiped the corner of her mouth, and said calmly, "What's there to be afraid of? What's ours, no one can take away."
Jiang Mingyue gave a cold laugh.
The Jiang family really needs to be dealt with.
Jiang Yu suddenly looked at the three of them seriously and said, "Remember that you are my people. If you are bullied when you are out in the world, fight back. If you can't beat them, run away and come back to tell me. I will deal with them."
The father, who had been a coward for half his life, and the mother, who had been weak for half his life, were now moved to tears.
Time quickly came to the day of the Lu family banquet. The Lu family held the banquet at their old residence, and from the moment one entered, one couldn't help but marvel at the Lu family's wealth and heritage.
With such wealth, no wonder Jiang Xuyao wanted to marry in her place.
"Please don't wander around." The maid who was leading the way immediately warned with a cold face when she saw some people wandering around.
The person who had broken away from the group awkwardly retreated, looking rather displeased under the mocking gazes of the crowd.
After walking for a few minutes, we finally arrived at the banquet hall. The hall was brightly lit and bustling with people; quite a few people had already arrived.
"As expected of the Lu family, their banquets are truly exceptional."
"I heard that not only were the flowers used in the banquet hall today flown in from abroad, but the food was also prepared by a five-star chef."
Jiang Yu's listless eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked intently at the neglected dining area.
Jiang Mingyue glanced around, quickly scanning the people in the banquet hall. She spotted Jiang Xuyao in the crowd and noticed her frowning slightly as she stared at them with an unfriendly expression.
She had a bad feeling about it.
He turned around, intending to remind Jiang Yu, but found that she was already gone.
Jiang's mother pointed to the dining area.
Seeing the little girl already enjoying her meal in the dining area, Jiang Mingyue was speechless.
Never mind, Jiang Yu isn't very bright to begin with, she'll just keep a closer eye on her later.
Just as Jiang Mingyue was about to go find Jiang Yu, Lu Zhenxi suddenly walked towards her.
"Uncle, Aunt, you've arrived." Today, Lu Zhenxi was dressed in a bespoke suit, meticulously groomed, exuding a refined elegance reminiscent of a noble young master.
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang nodded with smiles.
Lu Zhenxi looked around but didn't see the person he was looking for. He asked in confusion, "Where's Xiaoyu?"
Jiang's mother smiled and pointed to the dining area.
Jiang Yu thought the steak was very good today, and ate plate after plate. As soon as it was served, she put all of it on her plate.
The waiter, who had just served the food and turned around to find the plates empty: ∑(O_O;)
A glutton arrived at today's banquet?
Jiang Yu was carrying a full plate of pan-fried steak, looking for a quiet corner to enjoy it alone.
He turned around and was immediately blocked from his path.
"Xiao Yu, you're here." Lu Zhenxi smiled at Jiang Yu, his eyes brightening slightly.
Jiang Yu frowned, looked up, and pursed her lips unhappily. "Get out of the way."
Although he was glared at, Lu Zhenxi wasn't angry at all; in fact, he found the other person's fierceness endearing.
He wanted to say something more to her, but then he heard someone calling him from afar, so he had to leave temporarily. Before leaving, he told her, "Xiao Yu, I have something to tell you after the banquet. You must wait for me."
Jiang Yu forgot about it as soon as she turned her head and found a quiet corner to enjoy her meal.
I had only eaten two pieces when I heard someone whispering in my ear.
"Miaomiao, I really don't know what Grandpa Lu was thinking. Why invite those lowlifes to a banquet? Attending a banquet with them really lowers our standards." Xu Peipei held Lu Miao's hand and complained in a low voice with a look of disgust.
Lu Miao smiled and explained, "My grandfather must have his reasons for doing this. If you don't like them, just ignore them."
"But I feel like they're polluting the air. A bunch of ignorant, uncultured slobs." Xu Peipei snorted arrogantly, her dissatisfaction clearly visible.
"But I heard that all the big names in Beicheng are coming this time," Lu Miao said blankly.
"She's just a nouveau riche who calls herself a tycoon. She has a little money and she really thinks she's part of high society. She doesn't even know her own worth." Xu Peipei's tone was full of arrogance and prejudice.
Lu Miao smiled without saying a word.
"By the way, I heard your uncle is back. Where did he go? The banquet is about to start, why hasn't he arrived yet?" Xu Peipei looked around expectantly at Lu Miao.
"I heard that my uncle went to Nanyuan."
"Nanyuan? Where does that madman live? What is he doing there? What if that madman suddenly goes berserk and hurts him?" Xu Peipei said anxiously and worriedly.
"I don't think so, right? Brother Shen is a very nice person." Lu Miao explained softly.
"That's a murderous madman." Xu Peipei's voice was sharp and fearful, filled with emotion. "Have you forgotten what happened before?"
She seemed to recall some scene, and her face showed fear and terror.
Lu Miao lowered her eyes, smiled slightly, and gently reassured him, "Don't worry, Uncle is just going to see Brother Shen, he'll be fine, he should be here soon."
"That would be best," Xu Peipei murmured softly, still shaken.
"Peipei, you look so beautiful today. Anyone would be smitten." Lu Miao cleverly changed the subject.
Upon hearing this, Xu Peipei's attention was immediately diverted. She smiled shyly yet proudly, then turned back to continue pestering Lu Miao, subtly inquiring about her uncle's whereabouts.
The way a young girl is in love makes it hard not to see her true intentions.
The two were whispering to each other when suddenly a person appeared from a corner that no one was paying attention to, slowly walking past them with an empty plate.
The two, who thought no one was around, were speechless.
Jiang Yu, who was passing by silently: As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.
