The banquet continued.
Grandpa Si first toasted Grandpa Lu: "Hahaha! Old man, although I've never really liked your bookish and pedantic ways, today you've gained a beloved daughter and such an outstanding and lively granddaughter! I'll still toast you. You old man are truly blessed!"
Grandpa Lu picked up his wine glass and clinked it with his. "Alright, I've received your blessings. Are you envious that I have a daughter and a granddaughter? It's no use being envious! Hahaha!"
"Hey, you think you're so great just because you have a granddaughter!"
Grandpa Lu wanted to say that he also had a grandson!
But thinking of Si Yelin, I decided against it; it wouldn't be very presentable anyway.
No matter how rough a grandson is, he can't compare to a soft, sweet, and considerate granddaughter!
He could only resort to a more hurtful approach: "I actually met your granddaughter first, you were a step behind me!"
"So what if you've known her for a long time? My granddaughter is still my family's, not yours!"
Old Master Si was heartbroken again!
Grandma Xiao was also heartbroken. She didn't have any granddaughters or great-granddaughters, only a grandson named Xiao Lang, who was always out playing and could drive anyone crazy.
She felt that Grandpa Lu was too arrogant, so she joined the fight.
The guests found it amusing to watch Old Master Lu, Old Master Si, and Old Madam Xiao bickering, but they couldn't help but look at Wen Li and Chu Miao with new respect.
Unexpectedly, they knew the Si family and the Xiao family.
The Si family and the Xiao family had come in with her just now, as if they were her own family.
They thought it was Grandpa Lu who had sent them to make things easier, but they didn't expect that Wen Li and Chu Miao had known them from the beginning.
The fact that they have such good relations with the Si and Xiao families shows that they are not ordinary people. Even without the title of Lu family heiress, they must be someone important in the capital.
The guests all came to toast Wen Li and Chu Tian.
“I am Mr. Lu’s student, so I can call you junior sister now.” A guest said to Wen Li with a smile, “I am a professor at Peking University. If you need my help in the future, please don’t hesitate to ask. If it weren’t for Mr. Lu’s financial support, I would have dropped out of school long ago. Your daughter is still in high school, right? I can help tutor her, and I can also help her with her college application.”
The guests spoke of Mr. Lu with deep gratitude.
Wen Li smiled and returned the toast with a glass of wine.
Little did the guests know that it wasn't that Wen Li needed his help now, but that he would need her help in the future. After Chu Miao's college entrance exam results came out, they would be the ones begging Chu Miao to come and study there.
However, that's a story for another time.
Wen Minhui watched as Wen Li chatted happily with the guests. She picked up her wine glass, walked up to Wen Li, and smiled gently at her.
"Lili, congratulations on going home. I'm so happy for you."
As Wen Minhui spoke, she handed one of the two glasses of wine she was holding to Wen Li.
“Look how much your father and brothers dote on you, and how grand this family reunion banquet is.” Wen Minhui smiled and said, “When you were little, your father and brothers loved you the most, and even after thirty years, it’s still the same.”
"No matter how much I give to them, you are still the one they love the most."
Wen Li pursed her lips, about to speak, when Wen Minhui smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand, I don't mean to be jealous of you at all. I'm happy for you that you're back. After all, we're good sisters, right?"
"Didn't Miaomiao keep giving you acupuncture? How are you? Can you remember things from before?"
Wen Li didn't speak, nor did she take the teacup from her hand; she just looked at her.
“I remember some things.” After a while, Wen Li said, looking at Wen Minhui with her eyes: “I remember when my father and I went to the orphanage, I fell into the water because I was playing. I was only six years old at the time and I couldn’t swim. I was really scared. I thought I was going to die. But then you appeared. You were only a little older than me, but you were so brave and not scared at all. You jumped in to save me.”
“I was so touched at the time, so I asked my dad to bring you home and make you my older sister.”
"Hmm, anything else?" Wen Minhui asked her, her eyes lowered, making it impossible to see her expression.
Wen Li remained silent.
Since she didn't speak, Wen Minhui assumed that she hadn't remembered yet. Indeed, if Wen Li had remembered long ago, she would have come to make a scene with her long ago. How could she still be talking to her so calmly now?
It would be best if she couldn't remember; even if she did remember now, she wouldn't be afraid.
"If I can't remember, then I won't think about it," Wen Minhui said, her voice still so gentle, as if she were truly a loving older sister to Wen Li: "Drink the wine first, this is the first time your older sister has toasted you, you won't refuse, will you?"
Wen Li didn't answer immediately, but just looked at her with an indescribable expression in her eyes, as if she were looking at something else through Wen Minhui.
A few seconds later, she took the wine glass.
Wen Minhui drank it down in one gulp.
Wen Li looked at her and tilted her head back to drink it down in one gulp.
Wen Minhui watched as she finished drinking it all, a smug smile flashing across her narrow eyes.
More guests came to toast Wen Li, so Wen Minhui went to the side.
Ah……
Praise the bar, keep praising the bar.
Wen Li can continue to be so smug.
She will soon be disgraced and her entire Lu family will be dragged into hell!
the other side.
Chu Miao was showing off her desserts like crazy.
She sat on a high stool, holding a different dessert in each hand, and ate it in big bites.
Well!
Really delicious!
Desserts are simply the most delicious things in the world!
Si Yelin and Xiao Lang sat beside her. Si Yelin looked at her with a mixture of doting and helplessness, while Xiao Lang's lips twitched.
Good heavens, his master's love for desserts really hasn't changed.
Such a large banquet, and they're showing off their desserts like crazy.
He observed Wen Minhui's every move for Chu Miao: "Master, that woman gave Aunt Wen a glass of wine, and Aunt Wen drank it!"
"Oh, I see."
Chu Miao took a bite of the strawberry cake and answered casually.
"Look how sinister her smile is, she's obviously up to no good! Aunt Wen is so kind, she didn't even suspect her!"
“Everything has been planned.” Si Yelin’s long, slender fingers clenched. “Wen Minhui thought today was a trap she had prepared for Aunt Wen, but little did she know, it was a targeted scheme to lure her into a trap. Those who harm others will ultimately harm themselves.”
Chu Miao squinted her eyes leisurely.
If Wen Minhui doesn't take any action, fine, but if she does, she'll be completely finished today.
As the banquet drew to a close, Old Master Lu went on stage to give a speech, but at that moment—
The servant rushed in and reported, "Sir, a large number of police officers have arrived outside!"
