Chapter 18

Jiang Xiubai: “I heard that Uncle Lu is quite powerful in the army.”

Old Lady Lu frowned and said, “I’m not asking you that. I’m asking what you think of Ci Nian.”

Jiang Xiubai: “Third Uncle, he’s fine.”

Old Lady Lu pressed on, “How is it a good idea?”

Jiang Xiubai: “…”

Old Mrs. Lu said dissatisfiedly, “Don’t give me other excuses. You have to tell me why our family’s New Year’s Eve is so good.”

Jiang Xiubai was helpless and could only say, “Madam Lu, you are making things difficult for me.”

Old Mrs. Lu looked at her and said, “Think about it carefully.”

Jiang Xiubai hesitated for a moment and said, “Madam Lu, I have few opportunities to interact with Third Uncle Lu, so I don’t know much about him…”

Old Lady Lu frowned: “You, my child, grew up in the same compound as my Ci Nian. Don’t you have any special impression of him?”

Jiang Xiubai: “…”

The impression is indeed quite special.

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Mrs. Lu did not force her. She smiled and said, “Forget it, forget it. You look like a simple-minded child. I won’t make things difficult for you.”

Jiang Xiubai breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said gratefully, “Thank you, Madam Lu.”

Old Lady Lu waved her hand and said, “You don’t have to thank me. I just want you to know that my Ci Nian is not some terrible beast, and you don’t have to be afraid of him.”

Jiang Xiubai: “…”

Old Lady Lu looked at her and said earnestly, “You are a good child. I like you very much and hope you can become Ci Nian’s daughter-in-law.”

Jiang Xiubai: “…”

Old Mrs. Lu smiled and said, “Don’t be afraid. Although my son Ci Nian is still lying in bed, I believe he will wake up soon. I’m waiting for the day when you can call me that.”

Jiang Xiubai nodded awkwardly. Seeing this, Mrs. Lu stopped making things difficult for her and instead reached out and patted her on the shoulder.

Then he said, “You stay here, I’m going to the cafeteria to take charge of the situation.”

Jiang Xiubai nodded vigorously when she heard that, and when she saw the person leave the room, she breathed a sigh of relief.

I had a different opinion of this old lady Lu in my heart.

He really deserves to be the one in charge of the Lu family. His aura is really amazing.

Thinking that this would be her future mother-in-law, Jiang Xiubai felt pretty good. She was at least a hundred times better than Li Suxin, who was superficial.

Thinking that Li Suxin will be her sister-in-law in the future, Jiang Xiubai is looking forward to future family gatherings.

Jiang Xiubai was in a daze in the room for a while, and then he heard a knock on the door.

She immediately sat down on the edge of the bed and said to the outside, “Who is it?”

A familiar voice rang out: “Old Four, it’s me.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiubai hurriedly stood up and walked over to open the door, then asked, “Xiangru, how did you know I was here?”

Jia Xiangru said angrily: “You don’t know how angry we are. When we came out of the room, I was following you.

Then your stepmother found something to do and pulled me away. I didn’t think much about it at the time. After it was over, I thought, you still have to go to the cafeteria.

I went there with the eldest and second oldest brother first. As a result, we waited for a long time, and the person who showed up was your stepmother’s daughter.

Jiang Yutong took Lu Yuhan’s arm and walked into the cafeteria together. Later we found out that something went wrong when the bride got into the car. Are you okay?

When she said the last sentence, Jia Xiangru’s voice became a little softer, and she looked at the expression on Jiang Xiubai’s face with concern.

Jiang Xiubai was comforted by the concern on the faces of her three roommates. She smiled and said, “Come in.”

After everyone entered the house, Jiang Xiubai looked around and saw that there was no one outside, so she quickly closed the door.

Turning back to look at the three sisters, she smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I actually guessed this a long time ago.”

Upon hearing this, the eldest brother Zhu Fangshu asked curiously, “How did you know?”

Jiang Xiubai: “It’s a long story. About ten days ago, I overheard Jiang Yutong and her mother Wang Rong’s plan. After thinking it over, I thought marrying Lu Cinian wouldn’t be a bad idea, so I didn’t tamper with the plan.”

The second in command, Zhang Ping, was immediately surprised and asked, “Lu Cinian? You’re not talking about the captain Lu who got into trouble this time and is still lying in bed, and who is said to be unlikely to wake up?”

Jiang Xiubai nodded and said, “Yes, that’s him.”

The eldest sister, Zhu Fangshu, was no longer calm. She stood up and walked a few steps in place. Then, looking at Jiang Xiubai who looked calm, she sighed and said:

“Old Four, you are confused.”

Jia Xiangru: “That’s right, Old Four, why are you so pessimistic? Although Lu Cinian was indeed better than Lu Yuhan before the incident, and the two are not in the same league, you also have to look at the current situation and what you are doing.”

After saying that, she sighed.

When Jiang Xiubai saw her three best friends acting like this, she burst out laughing.

Seeing that everyone turned to look at her, Jiang Xiubai said: “Big brother, second brother, third brother, you don’t have to worry about me. I really feel from the bottom of my heart that even if Lu Qinian is injured,

Lying in a hospital bed, that’s not comparable to Lu Yuhan. You all know how I treated him and how he treated me over the years. I’m really tired, but I’m fine now.”

Jia Xiangru frowned upon hearing this, and finally gritted her teeth and said, “I really underestimated Jiang Yutong and your stepmother. Just wait, I’m going to make them pay.”

Having said that, she turned around and walked outside without waiting for the reactions of the people in the room.

Jiang Xiubai reacted and hurriedly chased after her. He grabbed Jia Xiangru’s arm and shouted, “Third brother, third brother, what are you going to do?”

At this moment, Jia Xiangru pushed open the door with her other hand and saw Old Lady Lu who was already at the stairs.

She paused, then said politely, “Hello, Madam Lu.”

Old Lady Lu looked calmly at Jiang Xiubai, who was holding her arm, and nodded and said with a smile, “Hello, are you Xiubai’s classmate? Really, please come and keep her company.”

Jia Xiangru quickly said politely, “This is what we should do.”

Mrs. Lu nodded politely upon hearing this, then looked at Jiang Xiubai behind her and said, “Xiubai, you must be hungry. Take your friends downstairs to eat first, and then you can continue your conversation.”

Jiang Xiubai hummed, pulled Jia Xiangru’s arm, and said softly, “Let’s go downstairs to eat?”

Jia Xiangru glanced at Old Madam Lu in the stairwell, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in compromise: “Okay.”

After saying that, Jiang Xiubai smiled and called the other two people in the room, “Boss, Second Brother, let’s go downstairs now.”

“good.”

“good.”

The lunch was particularly sumptuous, and Jiang Xiubai and the others were very satisfied with the meal.

After the meal, Jia Xiangru didn’t mention her intention to cause trouble for Jiang Yutong anymore. Instead, she looked at Jiang Xiubai and said, “Fourth Brother, I won’t say anything else. What are your plans for the future?”
