Chapter 212 Alike! Wen Li and Lu Jiao look so alike!
While at school, Lu Cheng noticed that Chu Miao's attitude towards him had changed.
He was indifferent, not even giving him a glance.
But he hadn't done anything to offend her.
So, I went back and checked the route.
Upon investigation, he actually discovered what had happened at the Lu family's house that day.
Chu Miaomiao's mother was beaten by Lu Wanwan and severely humiliated by Wen Minhui.
No wonder Chu Miao was so angry with him.
Lu Cheng also couldn't understand why Wen Minhui, who was always the most talkative and gentle, would do such a thing.
He went directly to Wen Minhui to ask her for clarification.
"Xiao Cheng, you know Chu Miaomiao too?" Wen Minhui's smile faltered.
“She’s my classmate,” Cheng Lu said. “I’ve met her mother too; she’s a very, very good person. So I don’t understand why you would embarrass her and let Wanwan bully her!”
"Xiao Cheng, that's because of Wanwan—"
“Aunt, no matter the reason, you shouldn’t have done that.” Lu Cheng looked at her as if she didn’t recognize her, and her tone was no longer as kind as before: “You are the gentlest person, but you actually did something so humiliating. I am very disappointed in you.”
Wen Minhui's expression froze.
……
upstairs.
in the room.
Grandpa Lu also learned about what happened downstairs.
His health is already failing.
He usually likes to lie in bed, and he spends more time in a drowsy state than awake.
But he will still find out what he needs to know.
He listened to the butler's words with some surprise: "Just who is this Chu Miaomiao? She actually managed to get the second son, An'an, and that kid Cheng Lu to come and demand justice for her."
This really surprised him.
These children have different personalities. Lu Cheng is the youngest, but he is the most calm and reserved. An An has lived in the military for many years and has the habits of a boy, being bold and generous. Then there is his second son, who is doing very well in the entertainment industry. He seems gentle, but he is very shrewd.
Surprisingly, they all spoke up for Chu Miaomiao in unison.
"I inquired and found out she's just an eighteen-year-old girl, still in her final year of high school, nothing special about her."
"To have so many people stand up for her, isn't that extraordinary?" Old Master Lu chuckled. "She's definitely a very capable girl."
"No matter how capable she is, can she be more capable than Miss Jiaojiao? Miss Jiaojiao is the most beautiful, gentlest, and most charming girl I've ever met..."
The butler stopped mid-sentence.
He looked at Grandpa Lu.
He was secretly annoyed that they had brought up the very thing he shouldn't have.
Knowing full well that Miss Jiaojiao was a source of great distress for Old Master Lu, he still brought it up at this time.
Grandpa Lu still smiled and said, "Yes, my daughter Jiaojiao is the most beautiful and gentle girl."
"I just don't know if this old man will ever have the chance to see her again."
All these years, he's just been holding on and holding on!
He just wanted to see his precious daughter, Jiaojiao, again.
But it seems he can't hold on any longer.
He feared that he would never see Jiaojiao again in his life, and would never hear her call him "Dad" again.
The butler wished he could bite off his own tongue; why did he have to mention Lu Jiao!
The disappearance of Lu Jiao was a deep worry for Grandpa Lu. He always felt that he had lost Lu Jiao. Because of this, his uncles and the others used to resent Grandpa Lu and had many conflicts with him.
It was only when they grew up and became fathers themselves that they realized how hard Grandpa Lu had worked.
Their relationship has only improved somewhat in recent years.
"The Second Master and the others are blaming Miss Minhui for the sake of a mere maid; I'm afraid she'll be unhappy about it," the steward quickly changed the subject.
Grandpa Lu said, "She's been acting increasingly arrogantly lately; she deserves to be scolded."
He had also heard about what Wen Minhui had done.
She became even more arrogant after his health began to decline.
He turned a blind eye only because she took good care of him and they had been together for over thirty years.
But if Wen Minhui goes too far, he won't ignore it.
"I'm more curious about that girl Chu Miaomiao. She seems like someone important. I'd really like to meet her if I have the chance," said Grandpa Lu.
The butler smiled and said, "Want to see her? It's not hard at all. Your birthday banquet is coming up soon. As the organizer of the banquet, the Chu family will definitely be there. You'll be able to see her then."
Old Master Lu then instructed the housekeeper to keep an eye on Wen Minhui and make sure she handled the Chu family's affairs well.
After all, Wen Minhui went too far in this matter. The Chu family organized a banquet for them, yet they treated the Chu family members like this.
That's really too much.
They should visit the person in person to apologize and make amends.
That's just how the Lu family behaves.
Butler Lu noted it down.
Following Mr. Lu's advice, he bought many gifts and personally went to the Lu family to meet Chu Tian and Wen Li.
Chu Tian and Wen Li were surprised that someone from Old Master Lu's side would come in person, and they hurriedly greeted them.
"Mr. Chu, I am truly sorry for what happened at the hotel today. My father-in-law immediately sent me here with some gifts to apologize after hearing about it."
Butler Lu apologized repeatedly, and Chu Tian invited him in, saying, "You're too kind to have come all this way. It's good that you've found the items; we can all rest easy now."
It's obvious to everyone that what happened today was not an accident, but rather a premeditated act.
But Chu Tian gave the Lu family face and didn't expose them.
But both of them knew it.
Looking at Chu Tian's composed and dignified demeanor, Butler Lu couldn't help but feel a greater appreciation for him.
There are many rumors about Chu Tian in high society circles, some bad and some good, but the bad ones outnumber the good.
After all, his dispute with Old Madam Chu over dividing the family property was an absolute scandal.
It also damaged his reputation.
People say he's heartless, ungrateful, and unfilial, but looking at him today, that's not the case at all.
Butler Lu came over today, also wanting to see Chu Miao. Old Master Lu is so curious about Chu Miao, and if he sees her, he can go back and tell Old Master Lu.
But Chu Miao was upstairs and hadn't come down, so he didn't want to ask her to make a special trip down.
Wen Li came out of the kitchen with a cup of hot tea in her hand: "Thank you for making the trip. Please have some tea."
"Thank you, Madam Chu."
Butler Lu stood up from the sofa, took the teacup, and his gaze naturally fell on Wen Li's face.
That is this second.
His pupils contracted sharply.
The teacup slipped from my grasp and clattered onto the carpet!
It made a crisp sound!
The teacup didn't break; the tea flowed down the carpet and sank into the thick carpet.
Butler Lu suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't hold it steady."
"It's alright, it's alright, I'll just clean it up." Wen Li smiled gently, her eyes crinkling, her whole being exuding a softness that reminded Butler Lu of Lu Jiao.
Like.
They look so alike...
Wen Li and Lu Jiao look so alike...
Although thirty years have passed and Wen Li looks very different from when she was a child, as the housekeeper who watched Lu Jiao grow up, she still felt that they looked alike at first glance.
Eyes, nose, mouth...
They all seem to be the same.
His lips moved—
"The tea's spilled! Lili, don't move! Leave it to us!"
Mr. and Mrs. Wen rushed out of the kitchen, carrying handkerchiefs and a trash can.
