Chapter 65

At that time, the Lu Family and the Xiang Family will still maintain a good relationship, and there will be no loss. She will also be able to be with Lu Yanshi legitimately!

"Let's not meet for now and upset everyone. Let's take it slow, don't rush, trust me!" she told herself as she persuaded Lu Yanshi.

So, the next morning, when the family went downstairs for breakfast, this was the scene they saw.

Shen Anya had gotten up sometime earlier and was standing by the table setting out the bowls and chopsticks for everyone. When she saw Shen Ting'an and Zhao Huizhen, she smiled and greeted them.

"Mom and Dad, you're awake! The congee with preserved egg and lean pork is ready, we can eat it right away." Then she turned and went into the kitchen to bring out the breakfast that Nanny Aunt Chen, had prepared.

The more she fawned over him, the more disgusted Shen Ting'an became. "I made it very clear yesterday: I won't break up with Lu Yanshi, so don't call me Dad!"

"Dad, I know I was wrong!" Her eyes were red. "I know I was wrong, I already know I was wrong. I broke up with Lu Yanshi last night. Don't worry, I won't have anything to do with him anymore!"

"Anything else?" This time it was Zhao Huizhen who spoke.

Shen Anya was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "What else?"

Zhao Huizhen's face darkened. "You say you know you're wrong, but who is the person you should apologize to the most? Have you apologized to her? I think you're just saying it! You haven't seriously reflected on your actions at all!"

"No, no, Mom, I did!" Shen Anya hurriedly explained, "I... I'll go apologize to Xiang Lu later!"

"You'd better keep your word!" Zhao Huizhen's expression immediately changed when she caught a glimpse of Shen Luoluo and Shen Jiayan coming downstairs. She smiled broadly and said, "Luoluo, Jia Yan, wake up! Come and have breakfast."

His mood changed incredibly fast; he was so fierce to her, but smiling like this to Shen Luoluo! Shen Anya was so angry she didn't even want to eat!

"Mom and Dad, you two eat. I'll go get ready to go to my tutoring class." With that, she fled.

Shen Luoluo watched her retreating figure, feeling utterly bewildered. [She left as soon as I arrived, without even eating breakfast. Does she have a problem with me?]

"She dares!" Zhao Huizhen ladled out a bowl of porridge and handed it to Shen Luoluo. "Ignore her. She just got scolded by your dad again. Let's eat ours."

[So that's how it is.] Shen Luoluo took the porridge and thanked her, "Thank you, Mom."

Zhao Huizhen's nose tingled, and she felt like crying again. She used to look forward to Luoluo calling her "Mom," but when Luoluo actually called her "Mom," she felt that she was not worthy of that title at all.

The child has been suffering all these days since she came back; she, as a mother, has failed in her responsibilities.

Shen Luoluo noticed out of the corner of her eye that Zhao Huizhen was staring intently, her eyes seemingly filled with tears. "What's wrong?"

Zhao Huizhen then snapped out of her daze, sniffed, and smiled, "It's nothing. Want an egg? Mom will peel one for you."

"Mom, I want one too!" Shen Jiayan shouted, raising her hand while her eyes were still on her phone.

Zhao Huizhen glared at him, "Are you a grown man without hands and feet? Peel it yourself!"

Shen Jiayan:?

He's a grown man? And his sister isn't a grown woman?! Isn't this blatant discrimination?!

After the family finished breakfast, tidied up, prepared the wedding gifts, and drove to the wedding venue. They arrived at the venue close to noon.

As soon as they entered the banquet hall, they were stopped by Shen Ting'an's business partners. The two quickly began chatting.

Zhao Huizhen was worried that Shen Luoluo and Shen Jiayan would find the adults' conversation boring, so she told them to wait for them at their seats, and that she would come over later.

Shen Luoluo and Shen Jiayan followed the staff inside. When they reached their seats, they saw a familiar figure not far ahead – it was Xiang Lu!

"Isn't that Xiang Lu? What's she doing here!" Shen Jiayan also saw her.

Xiang Lu naturally saw the two siblings as well. The young lady, without any hesitation, stood up from her seat and walked over gracefully.

Shen Jiayan instinctively stepped in front of Shen Luoluo, "What are you trying to do now?!"

"Nothing much, just came to thank you," Xiang Lu replied calmly. "I'm always very clear about right and wrong, thank you for yesterday."

She even put on an arrogant attitude when she said thank you, as if it were her duty to help her! Shen Jiayan didn't like her at all and retorted sarcastically, "No need for thanks. Actually, we didn't want to stay there with you either. If we weren't afraid you'd jump off the rooftop and scare people, we would have left long ago. We don't care if you live or die!"

"You!"

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, '!' Shen Jiayan, standing at 1.8 meters tall, towered over Xiang Lu by half a head, looking down at her: 'I'm warning you, if you dare to cause trouble for my sister again, I'll beat you to death. I'm not the kind of person who shows mercy to women!' As he said this, he didn't forget to raise his fist in a threatening gesture."

Xiang Lu raised his hips. "You dare!"

"You can try it and see if I dare!"

"Pfft--" Behind her, Shen Luoluo was amused by the two's childish bickering.

She looked up and found the two of them glaring at her angrily. She quickly wiped the smile off her face and said, "Excuse me, please continue!"

Suddenly interrupted, neither of them was in the mood to continue arguing.

When it came to causing trouble for Shen Luoluo, Xiang Lu's haughty demeanor instantly diminished. She looked at Shen Luoluo and said, "Well, it was indeed my fault for causing you trouble. I apologize to you here. I'm sorry."

They apologized quite quickly.

"But I didn't intentionally want to cause you trouble, nor did I want to go."

Shen Luoluo:?

Shen Jiayan couldn't help but laugh. "Do you want to hear what you're saying? Did someone hold a knife to your throat and force you to go, or did they not want to?"

Shen Luoluo nodded, "[You're right!]"

"Oh dear!" The young lady, having given up all pretense, decided not to hide anything and said directly, "It was Shen Anya! She deliberately took me to see her room. At that time, I didn't know you were the real heiress. I thought your parents were out of their minds, letting their illegitimate daughter live in a princess room while they lived in such a shabby room. I thought you were playing the victim in front of your parents, which was why they treated you that way. I was so angry that I went to cause trouble for you."
