378: He disliked Xiao Niannian very much.
After dinner, Lu Jing, Gu Yuan, Gu Jin, and the aunts tidied up the kitchen, washing dishes and cleaning.
Xiao Niannian wiped the tables and threw out the trash.
Ma Xue also actively showed her helpfulness.
Grandpa Lu, Grandma Lu, and Lu Jing bid farewell and left.
Lu Jing walked over to Xiao Niannian and said,
"I'll pick you up tomorrow."
"Okay."
Hearing this, Gu Ying and Ma Xue looked at Xiao Niannian in surprise.
"Younger Female Cousin, is Brother Lu picking you up to go out and play?"
"No."
Xiao Niannian replied.
Hearing this, Ma Xue looked at Xiao Niannian suspiciously.
"Then what are you doing?"
"It's a secret."
What? It's even a secret?
Who did Xiao Niannian think she was?
Hmph, she must be thinking of going to the Lu Family for dinner tomorrow, using the opportunity to curry favor with Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu. Luckily they returned to the Gu Family today, otherwise, Xiao Niannian would have another chance to curry favor with Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu.
Thinking of the large velvet box Grandma Lu gave Xiao Niannian, she wondered what gift was inside.
Gu Ying thought about tomorrow's dinner and decided to go home first to find someone to tell Lu Jing's Mother about this.
Lu Jing's Mother usually doesn't return to the old residence, only once or twice a month. These days, she's very busy with work, so she comes back even less often.
There were also rumors about Xiao Niannian circulating there. Now that Lu Jing's Mother knew Xiao Niannian and her parents were going to the Lu Family for dinner tomorrow, she would definitely be anxious.
"Mom, what should we do?"
Ma Xue said anxiously.
"What's the hurry? Mom has a plan, we'll talk about it when we get back."
Xiao Niannian heard the conversation between Gu Ying and Ma Xue, and she guessed that these two wanted to interfere with tomorrow's dinner at the Lu Family.
What other way could there be? It was nothing more than calling Lu Jing's parents back.
She believed that Lu Jing's parents were intelligent people, not easily swayed or believing everything they heard.
Gu Ying and Ma Xue's schemes would not succeed.
Speaking of schemes, Gu Ying and Ma Xue's methods were obvious, whereas Zhang Fu's methods were much more subtle.
The Lu Family.
Mother Lu received a call from a friend.
"Sister-in-law Lu."
"Sister-in-law Zhang, why are you calling me?"
"I heard today that your son is back..."
Hearing Sister-in-law Zhang's words, Mother Lu was a little surprised.
"You mean the Gu Family is going to eat at our house?"
"Yes, could it be to finalize a marriage? I heard the Gu Family's Granddaughter has been found..."
Mother Lu heard this and said with a smile,
"It's just the two families visiting..."
After a while, Mother Lu received another call from a friend, both talking about Xiao Niannian.
Mother Lu spoke up.
"Sister Yang, who told you about this?"
Sister Yang on the other end of the phone said with a smile,
"It was Gu Ying..."
Mother Lu heard this, smiled, chatted with Sister Yang for a few more sentences, and after hanging up, Mother Lu called her son.
"Hello."
"Xiao Jing."
On the other end of the phone, Lu Jing heard his mother's voice.
"Mom."
"You've returned to the Capital City, why didn't you come back to visit Mom and Dad?"
"I just got back this morning. Tomorrow, Grandparents invited Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, and them for dinner..."
Hearing her son's words, Mother Lu smiled.
"Then you should perform well tomorrow..."
After Mother Lu spoke a few words with her son, she immediately called her husband.
When Xiao Niannian woke up in the morning, she went downstairs and saw her Older Brothers already downstairs, also ready to go for a run.
As soon as they went out, Xiao Niannian saw Lu Jing, Military Doctor Shen, and Shen Yan at the entrance.
"Run together?"
"Okay." Hearing Niannian's words, Lu Jing's face broke into a smile.
Gu Yuan and Gu Jin looked at Lu Jing, their eyes filled with warning. Although they agreed to Lu Jing pursuing their sister, for Lu Jing to be waiting here so early in the morning was a bit too disrespectful to them.
Shen Yan grinned.
"Sister Xiao, do you know? My Older Brother laid a poisonous hand on me yesterday. When I woke up today, my whole body was still incredibly sore..."
Hearing his younger brother complain, Military Doctor Shen glanced at him indifferently.
Shen Yan felt the suppression of his bloodline, but he still accused his Older Brother of being bad to Xiao Niannian.
Xiao Niannian also smiled.
Yesterday, Military Doctor Shen had still shown mercy to Shen Yan. What Shen Yan was learning now were all lethal killing techniques. Although Shen Yan had been learning for a few months and his resistance to blows had greatly improved, he was still far inferior to his Older Brother, Military Doctor Shen.
Although her martial arts skills were formidable, she couldn't teach Shen Yan to win within a few months.
That only exists in novels.
However, in another half a year, she was confident that she could make Shen Yan defeat Military Doctor Shen.
Shen Yan noticed Brother Lu's gaze. After saying a few words, he immediately retreated a few steps, yielding his position.
After running five kilometers, Xiao Niannian was covered in sweat. In this weather, the temperature was already close to forty degrees Celsius.
Xiao Niannian, Lu Jing, and her Older Brothers walked towards home.
"Aunt Lu."
Xiao Niannian heard Shen Yan's voice and looked not far away.
It was a beautiful aunt wearing a dark blue silk dress, with curled hair, very fair skin, leather shoes, and carrying a leather bag, looking at them with a smile.
This was Lu Jing's Mother; she looked more like Lu Jing's Older Sister.
She looked to be in her thirties.
So beautiful, just like the mother in the photograph.
"Sister-in-law Lu, this is my Niece, Xiao Niannian." Gu Ying said to Mother Lu with a smile.
"Niannian, why are you still standing there? Come quickly and greet your Aunt Lu."
Gu Ying said, then looked at Mother Lu again, smiling and saying,
"Sister-in-law Lu, my Niece grew up in the City Name since childhood and cannot be compared to children who grew up in the Compound. She will definitely improve in the future, please forgive her..."
Mother Lu heard Gu Ying's words, and her brows immediately furrowed.
Gu Ying saw Mother Lu's expression and was secretly delighted.
She thought that Sister-in-law Lu was very displeased with Xiao Niannian after hearing her words, combined with the previous rumors.
Mother Lu's gaze fell on Xiao Niannian. She hadn't seen photos of Xiao Niannian before and had heard many rumors, but she understood that rumors were not credible; one had to interact with a person to truly know them.
"Hello, Aunt Lu."
Hearing Niannian's words, Mother Lu smiled and nodded.
"Hello."
Mother Lu observed Xiao Niannian: about 1.7 meters tall, fair skin, short hair, large and expressive eyes, and a very beautiful, delicate face. Looking at her, she indeed bore a five or six-tenths resemblance to Sister-in-law Gu.
"Hello, Niannian."
Seeing that Xiao Niannian was not nervous or awkward, but instead wore a faint smile, Mother Lu grew even fonder of her.
This Niannian was not the kind of child who couldn't stand out.
Although she had been raised in the City Name countryside for so many years, now seeing Niannian, if it weren't for being told she grew up in the countryside, she would have thought she was a child raised in the Compound.
That self-confidence was dazzling in a crowd, visible at a glance.
