Chapter 672: I’ll Look After Uncle Lu’s Family

When the servant at the door saw how tense the banquet hall was, he turned and left.

Lu Xiwei looked at Gu Mang. Her gaze was cold.

Lu Chengzhou pulled a chair back to let Gu Mang sit. Then, he glanced at Lu Yī.

Lu Yī nodded to express that he understood. Then, he turned and said respectfully, “Sixth Uncle, please have a seat with your family.”

The servants of the Lu residence feared Lu Chengzhou the most. They immediately served tea and placed it in front of them.

Lu Shangjin and his family sat.

Gu Mang crossed her legs and propped her face up with her hands nonchalantly. She tapped on her teacup softly.

When Fourth Old Master Lu saw that Lu Chengzhou did not intend to explain himself, his anger surged and he slapped the table as he stood up. “Lu Chengzhou, you brought an outsider into our family banquet. Old Madam invited her so I can accept that. But what do you mean by this? Why would you bring that man’s family along?”

Lu Chengzhou looked up. His gaze was cold and sharp.

When Fourth Old Master Lu met his eyes, he felt a chill in his heart and his body stiffened slightly. It was as if his throat was being strangled by something.

There was silence for a few seconds.

Second Old Master Lu smiled amicably. “Chengzhou, Old Madam said long ago that Lu Shangjin has been expelled from the Lu family, yet you brought him back without permission. Old Madam might not be able to handle such a big shock.”

Lu Ruoshui glanced at Lu Shangjin disdainfully, “Does he think that he can make a homecoming because he got deployed to the capital? Such an official position isn’t even worth mentioning in our family.”

Since the Old Madam had announced that she was critically ill last year, the Lu family had fractured long ago. They were just pretending to be harmonious. Before Lu Shangjin left the Lu family, he had been the son that Old Madam had the highest hopes for other than Lu Zhan.

His return now did no good for anyone.

Fourth Old Master Lu sneered and glanced at Lu Yang and Lu Yi. “If these two children were more capable, they might be able to boost some confidence in Minister Lu. Sadly, after working hard all these years, the only good he has is that he knows a doctor.”

With that, he glanced at Gu Mang who was sitting beside Lu Chengzhou.

Her eyes drooped down and her expression was calm.

Lu Yang was still young. He could not control his emotions and he clenched his fists tightly. Lu Yi was usually calm and she seldom revealed her emotions but now, even she felt a little tense. Lin Zhou patted the two children’s hands.

Second Old Master Lu took a sip of tea. “Butlers, please throw Minister Lu out.”

The servants in the banquet hall did not dare move.

Second Old Master Lu glanced at his own butler.

The butler wanted to move immediately to ‘escort’ Lu Shangjin and his family out but pressure from Lu Chengzhou stopped him.

Gu Mang suddenly chuckled. The madness between her eyes was unconcealed and her arms were draped nonchalantly over Lu Chengzhou’s shoulders. “I’ve got Uncle Lu’s back. Why would they lack confidence?”

“Who the f…” Before Lu Xiwei could finish speaking, Lu Chengzhou glanced over. She subconsciously swallowed the second half of her sentence and changed her words. “Gu Mang, don’t think that you can point your fingers at people in the Lu Family just because Granny likes you. You are not even part of the Lu family yet!”

“Part of the Lu family?” Gu Mang was still smiling. Slowly, she said, “I’m not interested in being a part of it.”

She was only interested in the man beside her.

Lu Chengzhou glanced at her wordlessly.

“How bold of you.” Lu Xiwei sneered. “If you’re so capable, then don’t come to the family banquet.”

Gu Mang turned to Lu Chengzhou. She raised her eyebrow and looked rather annoyed. “She’s annoying. Shall we leave?”

Lu Chengzhou knew that his fiance was impatient. If she were to stay here, it would be easy on them if she just flipped the tables.

He nodded and turned to Lu Shangjin. “Sixth Uncle, let’s go. Off to your house.”

Lu Shangjin was speechless. His nephew had insisted on his return to the Lu Manor just so he could go to his place for a meal with Gu Mang.

When Lu Yang and Lu Yi heard that they were going home, they sighed in relief. They all got up.

The other members of the Lu family had gotten what they wished for. They watched as they left. Just then, Old Madam and Lu Zhan entered from outside.
