Chapter 147 : Family Love

On the weekend, Lu Yunbei drove to Mingyuan Community and called Lu Yunyao.

“Yaoyao, come home for dinner today. Mom and Dad miss you.”

It had been a while since Lu Yunyao had seen her parents. Since her brother was downstairs to pick her up, she couldn’t refuse; that would seem too cold and unfeeling.

“Wait for me a moment, I’ll be right down.”

Lu Yunyao changed her clothes and went downstairs.

“Yaoyao, over here.”

Lu Yunbei greeted her.

Lu Yunyao followed the voice and got into her brother’s car.

“Let’s go.”

As Lu Yunbei was about to roll up the car window, he turned and saw a familiar face.

The man was ordinary-looking, older, and seemed unimpressive.

Every time Lu Yunbei saw Yaoyao’s “husband,” he felt a pang of pain.

He quickly instructed the driver to leave, preferring not to see or think about him.

“Brother, what’s wrong?”

Lu Yunyao noticed her brother seemed in a bad mood today.

Lu Yunbei forced a smile, “Nothing. Has your husband finished work yet?”

“He should be done soon.”

Recently, Mr. had been getting off work early.

“I’ll give him a call.”

Lu Yunyao used the voice assistant to call the Mr.

“Mr, I’m going to the Lu family for dinner today, so you don’t have to wait for me.”

Fu Sichan, who was about to leave work, replied, “Okay, go early and come back early.”

After hanging up, Fu Sichan turned and went back to his office.

Assistant Xiao looked puzzled. “President Fu? Weren’t you leaving?”

“I’m not going. Bring me the project plan for the East City project.”

Fu Sichan said in a deep voice.

Since his wife was at her family’s, what was he going back for?

“Got it, I’ll get it for you right away.”

Today, only Assistant Xiao was left in the office, Assistant Wang had gone to Fu’s home to get some documents.

Assistant Wang was unaware that he had been seen by Lu Yunbei again, which only deepened the misunderstanding.

…

At the Lu family dinner table, a lavish feast was laid out, with each dish carefully selected and customized to Lu Yunyao’s tastes.

“Where’s Yunxiang? Why isn’t she coming down for dinner?” Mrs. Lu asked in confusion.

Everyone was there except Lu Yunxiang.

Lu Yunbei pressed his lips together, “She’s out on a date with the Gu family’s young master and won’t be home for dinner.”

“When did she become close with the Gu family’s young master? I didn’t know.”

“Mom, don’t worry about it. Let’s eat.”

“Alright, alright, let’s eat.” Mrs. Lu quickly brushed it off, “Yaoyao, try this squirrel fish. It’s sweet and sour, I’m sure you’ll love it.”

Lu Yunbei and Lu Feng exchanged glances.

Knowing that Yaoyao was coming today, they had deliberately kept Lu Yunxiang away.

They wanted to avoid her feeling resentful and causing any trouble that might spoil everyone’s mood.

The match they had arranged for Lu Yunxiang was with the Gu family’s young master. Though he was a bit of a playboy, the Gu family’s status ensured that she wouldn’t have a difficult life.

Moreover, Lu Yunxiang was close with Gu Qingyu, so her match with Gu Qingyu’s brother seemed perfect.

“Yaoyao, I saw a pink car a while ago that I thought would be perfect for you, so I went ahead and ordered it. Once your eyes are healed, let your brother take you for a driving test, and we’ll transfer the car to your name.”

Lu Feng placed the car keys in front of Lu Yunyao, effectively announcing her as the new owner of the car.

Lu Yunyao’s heart warmed, and she said sweetly, “Thank you, Dad.”

“Yunbei, later you should drive the car yourself and take your sister for a spin. If she doesn’t like anything about the car, I’ll get her a different one.”

“Alright, I won’t touch a drop of alcohol today.”

Since he would be driving his sister later, Lu Yunbei dared not drink, not even a drop of wine.

With Lu Yunxiang not around, the family enjoyed a warm and pleasant atmosphere.

…

On the other side, Lu Yunxiang was on a date with the Gu family’s eldest son.

The planned location was a high-end restaurant, but the playboy Gu family’s eldest son, who frequented bars, dragged Lu Yunxiang along instead.

The surroundings were filled with opulence, and the music was blaring at its loudest.

“Yunxiang, why aren’t you drinking?”

The Gu family’s eldest son held a glass of alcohol and casually draped his arm around Lu Yunxiang’s shoulders.

He reeked of strong alcohol and an unpleasant perfume from some unknown woman, which was nauseating.

Lu Yunxiang distanced herself, frowning, “I don’t like drinking.”

“Don’t like drinking? Then let’s go dance. Come on, let’s dance.”

The man’s lecherous gaze roamed Lu Yunxiang’s waist and hips, as if imagining how he might take advantage of her.

Lu Yunxiang felt like she was going crazy!

In the past, she might have played along with the Gu family’s eldest son, considering his family’s wealth despite his playboy nature.

She had even thought of getting closer to his brother through Gu Qingyu.

But unfortunately, Gu Qingyu didn’t get along with her brother, and that path didn’t work out.

But now things were different…

That wretched Lu Yunyao had somehow struck it lucky and married Fu Sichan.

Compared to Fu Sichan, this Gu family’s eldest son was nothing but a worthless playboy, not even worth a strand of Fu Sichan’s hair.

The gap was too vast!

She couldn’t accept such a disparity!

Why was Lu Yunyao the one who married Fu Sichan instead of her?

Why wasn’t it Lu Yunyao with this sleazy Gu family’s eldest son?

With this thought, a strange light flickered in Lu Yunxiang’s eyes.

“I’ll take you dancing.”

Gu Miao’s large hand wrapped around Lu Yunxiang’s waist, habitually squeezing it.

Not bad, the waist was a bit rounded, but a little extra flesh could be quite stimulating.

Suppressing her disgust, Lu Yunxiang forced a smile, “I don’t know how to dance.”

“That’s okay, I’ll teach you,” Gu Miao said, blowing foul breath in her face.

Lu Yunxiang nearly vomited on the spot.

But she reminded herself of her plan and forced herself to calm down.

“Gu Miao, I’m a friend of Qingyu’s. I really don’t enjoy this kind of place. How about we change the venue for our date?”

When Gu Qingyu was mentioned, Gu Mao’s face showed a strong impatience.

“Why mention that idiot? That girl is crazy and unpopular.”

Gu Mao glanced at her and said disdainfully, “You look down on me, don’t you?”

“No, no, that’s not what I meant.”

“You look down on me, but I look down on your Lu family even more.” Gu Mao lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth. “You are a poor family. If you weren’t good-looking, I wouldn’t bother to pay attention to you.”

He flicked the ash off his cigarette and cursed impatiently, “Go away.”

Lu Yunxiang clenched her palms, endured the discomfort in her heart, and took the initiative to walk towards him.
