Chapter 263 The Family Reunion Banquet Begins!
Grandpa Lu was looking at his computer when he saw Wen Minhui come in, so he closed the computer.
He took off his reading glasses, set them aside, and took the ginseng soup from Wen Minhui.
“Minhui, ever since Jiaojiao was lost, you have been taking care of us. For the past thirty years, you have tirelessly made ginseng soup for me every day. You have worked so hard.”
“Dad, what are you saying? You brought me back from the orphanage. You gave me a new life. Jiaojiao got lost, and you and my three brothers were so sad. It’s only right that I do something for you.”
Grandpa Lu smiled and shook his head: "There is no such thing as 'should' or 'shouldn't' in this world. I was really sad after Jiaojiao went missing. But you were very sensible at that time, trying to comfort us every day and cheer us up. You have been very good to us for the past thirty years. In my heart, I have long regarded you as family."
“No one is perfect. I know you have many shortcomings. You like to take advantage of the Lu family’s connections to get benefits for yourself outside. You like to bully others, and you even let Wanwan do the same. I have disciplined you many times. It is precisely because I consider you family that I discipline you and want you to get better. After all, we have been together for thirty years. I really want you to become better and not go astray.”
“You were kicked out of your home by your ex-husband, and you were carrying an infant. My Lu family opened its doors to you. My three sons and I personally brought you back. My Lu family has done nothing to wrong you, right?”
Of course!
Wen Minhui sneered inwardly. If they really treated her as family, they wouldn't have been unable to see Lu Jiao for thirty years, and they wouldn't have held a family reunion banquet for Lu Jiao, making her a laughing stock in the entire wealthy family. Now, no matter where she goes, people will mock her and laugh at her for being an imposter!
"Dad, why are you saying all this?"
Wen Minhui suppressed her resentment. The fact that Old Master Lu had suddenly said so much today made her feel uneasy. She forced a smile and said, "Alright, please drink the ginseng soup and rest after you finish."
"Oh, right, Dad, I have a document here that I need you to sign."
After watching Grandpa Lu drink the herbal medicine, Wen Minhui took out a document and placed it on the table. "It's not a big document, just a simple medical insurance contract. I bought it for you. I have a friend who works at the medical insurance bureau, and he said that buying this is very beneficial, especially for the elderly."
Wen Minhui explained the specifics of the contract, and Grandpa Lu flipped through the first few pages to take a quick look. But after only a few pages, he felt a terrible headache. Grandpa Lu rubbed his head, didn't look at it in detail anymore, and signed the contract at the end.
Wen Minhui's heart had been hanging in suspense. When she saw that Grandpa Lu had finished signing, she almost couldn't contain her joy. She hurriedly took the contract back and held it tightly in her hand: "Dad, you should get some rest. I'll go out now."
After saying that, Wen Minhui hurriedly went out.
Grandpa Lu also went back to bed to rest.
……
The family reunion banquet is in two days.
Chu Miao's school has ended, and these past few days have been filled with exams.
The Lu family's family reunion banquet caused quite a stir.
Even the students at the affiliated high school were talking about who the daughter who had been taken back by the Lu family was.
"Rumors, rumors, sisters! I heard that the Lu family's long-lost daughter was a country woman from a not-so-wealthy family, but now she's suddenly become the Lu family's heiress. Waaah, I'm so envious."
"I envy the eldest daughter of the Lu family even more! She's about the same age as us, and she's already become the most pampered young lady in the Lu family. She has such a respected maternal grandfather and an actor uncle. This isn't the script I dream about every night! Who is actually living this kind of life in reality?!"
The students were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.
"Please, please let me have this script in my next life! The Lu family is too far away from me. I'm more curious about the people in Class 20. Have they really suddenly become so fond of reading? Don't they gossip at all?"
The fact that the Lu family had reunited with their daughter was something even the dogs on the street would gossip about, but the students in Class 20 never did, as they were more focused on their studies than anyone else.
"Final exams are just around the corner. Class 20 has been so mysterious for the past six months, never participating in tests. We have no idea how well they've learned. This final exam will finally show us their true results!"
The situation in Class 20 was too mysterious. They were all curious about how well those good-for-nothings in Class 20 had learned. Even with top-notch teachers, those hopeless students wouldn't see much improvement in their grades, right?
It's not that the students in Class 20 don't gossip, but they already know that Chu Miao is the daughter of the Lu family. They have firsthand information, so what's the point of gossiping? Right now, they just want to study hard and get the best results in the final exams so as not to embarrass Sister Chu Miao!
……
Finally, the day of the family reunion banquet arrived.
The family reunion banquet was held at a hotel owned by the Chu Group.
Grandpa Lu didn't invite many irrelevant people, only his closest friends and some of his students who had visited him frequently over the years and with whom he had a good relationship. These students are now all big shots in their respective fields.
Grandpa Lu intended to introduce Wen Li and Chu Miao to them, so that after he was gone, they could help them out of respect for him.
