476: Where is his wife?

After Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing returned, Shen Yan's gaze immediately fell upon them.

He waved at Xiao Niannian.

Xiao Niannian walked over to him.

"Sister, Han Yue is bullying me, help me beat him up."

Lu Jing's gaze swept toward Shen Yan, and Shen Yan was so scared that he immediately straightened his posture.

"I'm just joking."

He had been too focused on complaining and had forgotten that Sister Xiao was now engaged to Brother Lu, and Brother Lu was very protective of her now.

Xiao Niannian looked at Han Yue.

"Why don't you fight him yourself?"

Hearing this, Shen Yan said aggrievedly.

"If I could beat him, I definitely would have."

He had a very clear understanding of his own strength compared to Brother Han Yue's.

He was still lacking a bit.

But Sister Xiao and Brother Lu could! He had thought about asking his brother to stand up for him, but his brother wouldn't listen to him.

"Old Xu, shall we spar?"

Han Yue was interested now.

Actually, the person he most wanted to spar with was Lu Jing, but today was Lu Jing's engagement. If they sparred and he ended up punching Lu Jing in the face, that would be a big problem.

"Let's not spar today, how about tomorrow?"

Xu Zhan said.

With so many elders present, if they sparred, minor injuries were inevitable, and it wouldn't look good for the elders.

That kid Han Yue was used to fighting dirty; if he really landed a hit on his face, he would be laughed at for days.

Xu Zhan thought about the masks Niannian had made; honestly, they were quite useful. Now, some people at their unit were using those masks.

The current masks could be used multiple times.

After all, given the current situation, it wasn't possible to just throw them away after one use.

"Alright."

"Let's play chess too."

After finishing the work in his hands, Shen Yan said.

He wanted to find something to do, otherwise, it would be so boring! The grandfathers were always bickering while playing chess.

They, the young people, were much more direct.

"Sure."

Xiao Niannian brought out another chess set.

Xu Zhan and Han Yue started playing, and ten minutes later, Xu Zhan called out.

"Checkmate, I win."

Han Yue looked carefully and realized that no matter what move he made, he would be checkmated.

"Let's play another round."

Xiao Niannian saw the move to break the stalemate, but she didn't say anything.

She looked up, and Lu Jing was looking at her. They exchanged a glance and understood what the other was thinking.

Gu Ying and Ma Xue walked in, smiling and greeting the elders.

Seeing so many people in the room, Gu Ying felt a bit unhappy. With so many people here, her parents hadn't even thought to call her and tell her and her husband to come back for a meal.

Fortunately, someone in the courtyard had notified her, so she was able to rush back at the right time.

"Mom and Dad, is there some happy occasion today? There are so many guests."

Gu Ying asked with a smile.

Grandma Gu spoke up.

"Today is the auspicious day for Niannian and Xiao Jing's engagement."

What?

Xiao Niannian is getting engaged to Lu Jing today?

How could it be so soon?

Didn't they just meet not long ago? And although there were rumors about an engagement before, she had never heard her parents mention it.

Could it be that Xiao Niannian...

Her gaze swept to Xiao Niannian's stomach, which was flat.

Impossible. If Xiao Niannian had really done something so shameless, her parents and eldest brother would definitely be furious.

But how could they be engaged so quickly?

Before, she had wanted her daughter to marry Lu Jing, but her parents hadn't agreed.

Such a big event, and her parents hadn't even notified her. Could this be Xiao Niannian's doing on purpose?

For a moment, she was furious, but she still forced a smile onto her face.

"This is truly wonderful, congratulations to Niannian and Xiao Jing..."

Ma Xue also looked at Xiao Niannian in surprise. Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing are getting engaged?

She had always thought this marriage would be hers; she hadn't expected it to be snatched away by Xiao Niannian.

A few years ago, the Lu family didn't have this intention, and her grandmother had said that it was a new era now, different from before. Lu Jing was in charge of his own marriage.

Lu Jing hadn't returned often in recent years, so she rarely had the chance to see him. When she went to the Lu house, Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu were nice to her, but not very close.

Her mother had dealings with Aunt Lu, but Aunt Lu had very high standards for a daughter-in-law.

But now, it was actually Xiao Niannian.

Was it just because Xiao Niannian was their biological daughter?

But she was also a granddaughter of the Gu Family. Why? She had grown up in front of her Maternal Grandparents, and Xiao Niannian had only been recognized last year!!!

She was unconvinced!

What was better about Xiao Niannian compared to her?

Her gaze turned to Lu Jing, her heart filled with jealousy.

Seeing Lu Jing looking at Xiao Niannian at this moment, with only Xiao Niannian in his eyes, the two of them gazed at each other as if they were the only two people in the world.

Xiao Niannian noticed Ma Xue's gaze. Seeing the jealousy Ma Xue couldn't hide in time, she just looked at her.

"Congratulations, Younger Female Cousin."

Ma Xue smiled, but the smile was somewhat twisted.

"Thank you."

Xiao Niannian saw the jealousy in Ma Xue's eyes, but she ignored it.

Lu Jing stood to the side, picking up nuts from the fruit tray and peeling them one by one.

After peeling a handful, he handed them to Xiao Niannian.

Mother Lu saw her Eldest Son's actions and nudged her husband.

Father Lu and Father Gu were chatting. Noticing his wife's gesture, he followed her gaze, saw this scene, and immediately picked up the nuts on the table and started peeling them.

Mother Lu smiled.

That wasn't what she meant; she just wanted her husband to see Jing'er's actions.

A little while later, Father Lu handed over a large handful of peeled nuts.

Mother Lu took them, her smile growing even wider.

Although her husband didn't know how to say many sweet words, he had been extremely good to her all these years.

Father Gu had seen Lu Jing's actions long ago. Seeing his friend's actions now, he lowered his head. He thought of his wife; he used to treat his wife the same way. If only his wife could come back, how wonderful that would be; their family would finally be truly reunited.

Wife, where are you?

It's been so many years, why haven't I even found a trace of you?

In a villa in Hong Kong City, an extremely beautiful middle-aged woman was listening to her subordinate.

"Big Sister, that group of people came to our shop..."

"Don't pay them any mind."

The beautiful woman picked up the phone and made a call.

After arranging things, her subordinates retreated.

She sat on a leather chair, rubbing her aching head.

Recently, some things kept appearing in her mind, but she couldn't remember what they were. She only remembered holding a child and being chased by many people...

She went downstairs, where there were several cars and a number of Bodyguards in black.

"Eldest Miss."

"Go home."

The beautiful woman got into a car and returned home.

"Xiao Yi is back."

Old Master Wang sat on the sofa, looking at his daughter with a smile.

"Dad."

"Has the company been very busy lately? You look so haggard."
