Chapter 671: She Thinks She Has The Support of The Lu Family, But She Doesn’t Know Her Place

The others strongly agreed with Lu Xiwei. They pursed their lips and shook their heads while smiling.

Who doesn’t want to fly up to a branch and instantly become a phoenix?

But one would still have to measure if they were worthy of it.

…

At the golf club.

Second Old Master Lu hit one shot and folded his hands on the club. He said, “Old Madam seems to like that girl very much.”

“Yes.” Fourth Old Master Lu snorted, the mockery in his tone obvious. “Our Young Master Lu even stooped down and went to the reserve camp to be a military instructor.”

They hadn’t expected the senior branch of the family to be involved in such a relations.h.i.+p.

Lu Chengzhou was always so uxorious.

“She is quite troublesome. Several families in the capital have gotten into trouble because of her.”

“She even dared to offend Master Bi a few days ago. She’s has guts.”

“Maybe she thinks that she has the support of the Lu family, but she doesn’t even know her place.”

Their words were full of disdain.

Second Old Master Lu pa.s.sed the club in his hand to a servant beside him. They all strolled along the yard.

The wind at the end of September was refres.h.i.+ng and mild.

Fourth Old Master Lu glanced at his brothers, “I heard that there are some odd movements on Jijing Island and Mingyu Island lately. Responsive Dragon from the Killer Alliance and Shadow League have gotten involved as well. It is very lively on Mingyu Island.”

Second Old Master Lu removed his golf glove. “It is indeed so, but we have too little information and we don’t know what exactly is going on.”

…

At 5pm.

A black car with a red flag attached to a small flag stand drove towards the Lu Residence. A black BMW followed behind. The two cars stopped in front of the main entrance.

A group of servants lined up to welcome the occupants in. They opened the car door.

“Young Master Lu.” The servants greeted the man respectfully and turned to Gu Mang who was just getting out of the car. “Ms. Gu.”

Gu Mang nodded politely. “Thank you.”

When the servants on the other side saw Lu Shangjin’s family, their expressions changed.

Lu Shangjin, the Sixth Old Master of the Lu family, was the black sheep of the Lu family. Mentioning him was taboo.

Why did they return for the Mid-Autumn family banquet?

The old servant glanced at Lu Chengzhou and made a guess. He did not dare to take his time. He greeted him respectfully. “Sixth Old Master, this way please.”

Lu Shangjin and his family stood in front of the car. For a moment, they did not budge. Lin Zhou grabbed her handbag tightly. Lu Yang seemed unwilling to come so he did not move either. Lu Yi was young. Although she was calm, there was still some uneasiness in her eyes.

This was the first time that the siblings had come to the Lu Manor.

Lu Chengzhou held Gu Mang’s hand as they entered. He pointed his chin towards the Lu Residence. “Sixth Uncle.”

Lu Shangjin took a deep breath and said jokingly, “Gu Mang, please be prepared to provide emergency aid if I p.i.s.s off your Granny real bad.”

Gu Mang raised her eyebrows slightly.

When she came last to treat Old Madam, she had looked into everyone’s background in advance.

Lin Zhou did not come from a good family and she did not have a good background.

Lu Shangjin had a fiancée. He had broken off his previous marriage so that he could be with Lin Zhou,and so he broke all ties with the Lu family.

He had not been to the Lu Residence in over twenty years.

When Lu Yang heard his father say that he would need emergency aid from Gu Mang, he found it ridiculous. “Dad, you’re too careless. Sister Mang has only trained to be a doctor for such a short time and you want her to treat someone?”

Lu Shangjin was speechless. The atmosphere was suddenly not so tense anymore.

The group walked into the Lu residence. Everyone had gathered in the banquet hall to chat. There were almost ten tables filled with people. The s.p.a.cious and luxurious banquet hall was very lively.

“Third Master, Ms. Gu, this way please.” The servant led the way respectfully.

When everyone heard this, they looked over subconsciously.

But when they saw that Lu Shangjin and his family were following behind, their expressions became solemn.

Second Old Master Lu narrowed his eyes. “Chengzhou, what is the meaning of this? Why did you bring an outsider to the family banquet?”
