Unexpected Second Chance at Love Chapter 383 can't sit there

Returning to the table, Old Lu and Madam Lu were surprised to see both their sons in the same place since they had left them. Everyone had stood from their seats, but neither Lu Tian nor Lu Han seemed to have moved at all.

Madam Lu looks at Lu Tian and then her youngest son.

"Why aren't you two meeting with other people?"

Of course, she was not referring to meeting other women. She meant as in, why are they not speaking to the elders or the men they know.

However, Lu Tian looks at his mother with no emotions, then looks away without saying a word.

"…"

Given the cold shoulder, Madam Lu felt blood boil inside her. However, she knows why he is like this and can't blame him for it. Even she regrets forcing him to come knowing that he already has a perfect wife waiting at home for him.

She feels like the evil mother-in-law during ancient times who forces her son to meet other women even though he has a pregnant wife.

Thinking this, she decided that it was best to have her son leave early. After all, she does not want any misunderstandings to come between Lu Tian and Yue Ling.

While Madam Lu was in her thoughts, Lu Han's voice sounds as he leans back on his chair.

"Ma, leave my older brother alone or did you find someone better than my sister-in-law?"

"…"

Hearing those words, Madam Lu's eyes widen with flared nostrils. She turns to Lu Han and reach to twist his ear as hard as she could.

"You unfilial child! How dare you say that to me?! No one here can be comparable to my daughter-in-law!"

"Ahh Ahh!"

Lu Han cried in pain as one hand holds onto the cus.h.i.+on of his chair and one hand hits the table. What about Lu Tian? Why is it always him who has to suffer?

"Hohoh, its lively here."

A jolly old voice suddenly sounds at the table surprising the Lu family.

Madam Lu's cheeks turns red and she let go of her youngest son's ear that had turned red.

Lu Han quickly straightens himself and acts like nothing happened.

Both the mother and son pair looks at Grandfather Ji with an embarra.s.sed expression. How they pray inside that the old man did not see what happened.

Grandfather Ji slowly sat back in his seat followed with Zhuang Xie Li. A smile curls on his lip as the wrinkles near his eyes creases more.

"No need to feel embarra.s.s. We are family after all."

The s.p.a.ce between Lu Tian's brows crease into three lines when he heard the old man's words. No one knew what he was thinking at this moment.

Seconds after Grandfather Ji sat down, Housekeeper Hu returns to the old man's side. He was hesitant but had no choice but to whisper the sudden news to him.

Listening until the end, Grandfather Ji sighs aloud and nod his head in understanding.

At the same time, Ji Jingxu and Zhuang Li also returned to their seats. Following after was Ji Chu Hua and her little group.

However, there was something different, another woman was following behind Ji Chu Hua in a lavender mermaid dress.

Seeing this, Ji Jingxu glance at the still empty seat next to his grandfather. He pout his lip then turn to look at Ji Chu Hua and Ning Mei with a disgusted expression which he did not care to hide.

Housekeeper Hu glance at Ning Mei. Thinking the girl wanted to wish his Master a birthday wish, he did not put much thought to it. He turns away and walks back in the drection of the kitchen.

Grandfather Ji sighs again and then notices the girl behind Ji Chu Hua. He felt like he has seen this girl before but cannot remember where.

"Chu Hua, who is this young lady?"

When he spoke his question, Ji Chu Hua had just pulled her chair out. Sitting down, she smiles sweetly to her grandfather.

"Grandfather, this is my little sister, Ning Mei. I noticed there is still a vacant seat there. If grandpa doesn't mind, can she sit at the table with us?"

Her index finger points to the empty chair next to him.

Standing behind Ji Chu Hua, Ning Mei was extremely nervous. She is more afraid of the old man than she is with her own father and grandfather. However, she needs to remain clam. Ji Chu Hua is General Ji's precious granddaughter, so a few words from Ji Chu Hua should allow her to sit at the table.

Grandfather Ji silently nods his head when he heard Ji Chu Hua's words. No one knew if he had allowed the girl to sit or was pondering in thoughts.

Seeing this, Ji Chu Hua took it as approval. She turns to Ning Mei and gesture the girl to quickly sit down.

As Ning Mei moved around the table to the vacant seat, no one noticed the murderous look in Lu Tian's eyes.

Madam Lu looks at Ning Mei and sneers inside. She had heard Lu Han mention that Ning Mei was the woman going around claiming herself to be Lu Tian's fiancé.

Never has she met the person, but seeing her today, she can tell that Ning Mei is not a clean person.

Unaware of Madam Lu's dislike for her, Ning Mei reaches the vacant chair. She was so excited inside that she did not notice that more than half of the people at the table had turned cold towards her.

"Who said the seat is empty?"

Suddenly, someone from the table spoke aloud. Ning Mei jumped in fright. She turns her head to look at Lu Tian then Grandfather Ji.

She is completely confused now. Everyone saw Grandfather Ji nod his head in approval, so who would say that to her?

Thinking it was only her imagination, she proceeds to pull the chair out.

However, before she could even sit down, the same voice spoke again, but much louder this time.

"I said, who said the seat is empty?!"

This time, everyone at the table heard the voice. Everyone besides Lu Tian and Grandfather Ji turned to look at the owner.

Ji Chu Hua crease her brows together as she looked at the person who suddenly spoke.

"Jingxu, what are you saying? The seat is vacant, so it's normal for someone to sit."

Ji Jingxu glares at the disgusting woman. His fists clench tightly under the table.

"Who told you no one is going to sit there? Grandfather hasn't even said she could sit down."

The corners of Ji Chu Hua's lip twitch uncontrollably when she heard this. She wanted to retort back, but the stinking beat was right. Grandfather Ji only nod his head, he did not say whether it was alright for Ning Mei to sit.

Ning Mei was put in a tight spot. She looks at the young boy with eyes staring daggers at him.

"I haven't done anything to wrong you. Why are you treating me this way?"

Feeling more disgust towards both women, Ji Jingxu move his eyes from Ji Chua Hua and glares at Ning Mei.

"I don't care who you are. That chair is already taken."

Ji Chu Hua: "Jingxu, stop making a scene. Ning Mei can sit in it."

Ji Shao An: "Jingxu, the celebration has been going on for almost two hours now. No has shown up to claim the seat. Be a good boy and let your sister Ning Mei sit down."

Ning Mei held her chin high and scoffed in Ji Jingxu's direction. She ignores his protests and sits down. From what she thinks, Ji Chu Hua and Ji Shao An hold more authority than the boy.

However, before she could even pull the chair, Ji Jingxu abruptly stood from his chair making a loud screeching sound.

"Are you death?! I said you can't sit there!"

The loud screech attracted everyone's attention and all the heads in the room turned to look at the scene.
