C157 Strange Way of Getting along

Although it was only an engagement, there were still a lot of things to prepare. Five days before the engagement, everything was finally ready. old master Lu also asked everyone to gather together.

There weren't many people gathered this time. They were the few people who were particularly close to the Lu family.

Other than Lu Zhiwei and Xu Zhiyuan, there was also Lu Chen's uncle, Lu Tianze. Of course, there was also Lu Yunshen, who was previously very unwelcomed by Lu family.

Qiao Yumeng and Lu Chen saw Lu Yunshen as soon as they entered. Lu Yunshen was sitting on the sofa in the hall, playing with his phone. He was completely different from the others.

This scene reminded Qiao Yumeng of her back then.

At that time, she was the most unwelcome person to attend the Fu family's banquet and return to the Qiao family.

After Qiao Yumeng greeted the elders one by one, she walked to Lu Yunshen and sat down. As soon as she sat down, Lu Yunshen asked, "Have you really decided to marry Lu Chen?"

"What's wrong?" Qiao Yumeng turned her head to look at Lu Yunshen. She felt that there was a chill in his smile.

"Do you believe me if I say I know Lu Chen the best in the world?" Lu Yunshen's smile was very strange. It was no longer the sloppy smile he used to have, but it did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

Before Qiao Yumeng could think of an answer, Lu Chen had already walked over. He looked at Lu Yunshen with a smile, "Brother, do you have time? Talk?"

"No." Lu Yunshen answered without hesitation.

"It's been a long time..."

"Chen!" Lu Tianze's voice was a little hoarse. It was just a simple word, but one could hear the reproach from it.

"Uncle." Lu Chen looked at Lu Tianze respectfully, but his face did not show much warmth.

"You know better than anyone how hard it was for your brother to come back. I don't want him to be forced to go homeless again!"

Lu Chen's expression did not look good when he put down such a big hat. The harmonious scene in Qiao Yumeng's eyes was just an illusion.

During the meal, Lu Yunshen kept smiling, but that smile was more like a mask that he had worn for a long time. It became a shackle that he could not remove.

After the meal, old master Lu took a group of people for a walk in the other garden. Every time he finished speaking, Lu Tianze would nod and agree as if he was listening to his superior's lecture.

This way of getting along was very strange, but only Qiao Yumeng felt uncomfortable. Even Xu Zhiyuan looked like he was used to it.

At night, it was time to arrange a place to stay. Logically speaking, it should be Lu Tianze's wife who would take care of everything. She did not expect that Lu Tianze would personally take care of everything.

Very quickly, the room was arranged. He personally brought Qiao Yumeng to Qiao Yumeng's room. When they went, Qiao Yumeng could not help but ask, "Uncle, did anything bad happen between Chen and Senior Yunshen?"

Lu Tianze's expression was perfunctory from the beginning to the end. When he heard Qiao Yumeng's question, his brows knitted tightly. His tone was very impolite, "You are an outsider. Why do you care about the matters of our Lu family?"

Although Qiao Yumeng had not officially married Lu Chen, she felt very uncomfortable to be excluded from the marriage so mercilessly.

The next day, Xu Zhiyuan and Lu Zhiwei said that they had a temporary guest at home and left early. Lu Tianze's daughter also randomly found a reason to leave.

The originally lively dining table suddenly became cold and scary because three people were missing.

During the meal, Qiao Yumeng and Lu Chen, who were supposed to be the main characters, were completely ignored. old master Lu and Lu Tianze kept adding food to Lu Yunshen. They didn't care if he couldn't finish it or not.

Qiao Yumeng secretly observed Lu Tianze's wife's expression several times, but she was like a stranger, completely uninvolved.

This couple's way of getting along with each other was far more twisted than Ning Xin and Lu Tianhan's way of getting along.

"Yunshen, how is the advanced management course I applied for you a while ago? How is your studies?" old master Lu asked.

"I'm still studying." Lu Yunshen's answer was perfunctory.

"I see." old master Lu nodded and asked, "How are the progress of the few projects that you are in charge of?"2

"This?" Lu Yunshen smirked and looked at Lu Chen. "Lu Chen is in charge of Lu's Group now. Isn't it better to ask him directly?"

old master Lu choked and finally looked at Lu Chen. "Chen, your brother is not familiar with the way our company operates. You need to communicate with him more. Don't be too harsh, understand?"

Lu Chen had been ignored from the beginning to the end. It was probably because he had never been ignored like this before. He had been drinking alone for a few times just now. After hearing old master Lu's words, he frowned so much that he could pinch a fly to death.

Looking at him like that, Qiao Yumeng was worried that he would lose his temper. She did not expect him to be silent for a long time. He only nodded to indicate that he knew. There was no reaction at all.

This meal, Qiao Yumeng ate like a fishbone in her throat.

After the meal, old master Lu asked Lu Yunshen to communicate more with Lu Chen. The three of them could only go upstairs and sit in the study room.

It was unknown whether it was intentional or coincidence, but Lu Chen and Lu Yunshen did it face to face. Although neither of them spoke first, the opposing aura between them was so strong that it almost broke the study room.

After a long silence, Lu Yunshen spoke first. "They are all Lu family. Some of them were the young masters of Lu family when they were born. Some of them were born as lowly illegitimate children. It is ironic when you think about it. Brother, don't you think so?"

The mocking tone of this' brother 'was especially strong.

Qiao Yumeng did not know why Lu Yunshen looked like this when he was facing Lu Chen. Clearly, she had called him to ask him about Chris. He was very normal.

"A person's birth is not something you can choose." Lu Chen replied helplessly.

"Oh?" Lu Yunshen nodded. Soon, he said thoughtfully, "When other people are in despair, you can pull them out of the abyss with one hand, but you choose to ignore them. You can't choose to do it yourself."

Qiao Yumeng knew that Lu Yunshen was talking about his mother's accident back then. He went back to Lu family to ask for help. Lu Yunshen did not help him.

"I'm very sorry about that." Lu Chen lowered his head, his face immersed in the darkness.

"Is it over with just an apology?" Lu Yunshen looked like a different person. He punched the desk angrily. Soon, his hand bled, but he did not seem to feel any pain. He glared at Lu Chen and said, "Lu Chen, I will make Lu family pay for what happened back then."

"Your hand..." Qiao Yumeng said.

Lu Yunshen suddenly looked at Qiao Yumeng. He stared at her strangely for a while and smiled. "Yumeng, I will let you know that marrying Lu Chen is the wrong choice."
