On the other side, Lu Family.
From the moment he watched Lu Xiaoxiao go out in the morning, Song Zhilan was already feeling nervous.
There is no other reason than that Lu Family will start a family meeting in which only Lu Xiaoxiao will not be present.
In fact, Lu Yuan had already mentioned his plan to have a showdown with the whole family earlier than Mind Reading. However, Chen Xiwan's pregnancy happened too suddenly and caught everyone off guard, so they never found the right time.
Today is Weekend, and everyone who goes to school or works is free. Even Lu Shiyan, a busy person, has no time in his schedule. Lu Xiaoxiao happens to be going to finish things for Chen Xiwan. It is a rare opportunity for the right time, right place, and right people.
If we don't seize the time to hold a meeting now, when will we have to wait?
So, after sending Lu Xiaoxiao out, Song Zhilan looked at Lu Yuan at the side, and then went separately to wake up the children.
After about ten minutes, all members of the Lu Family except Lu Xiaoxiao gathered in the living room.
Lu Xunli has the habit of getting up early. At this time, he was already neatly dressed and studying in his room, so he didn't delay at all after his father knocked on the door. He was the first to come downstairs. However, when he heard that there was going to be a family meeting, he was somewhat uneasy because he was worried that the theme of the meeting would be to criticize his previous love affairs.
The second fastest person was Lu Shiyan, whose speed was almost the same as Lu Xunli, which was just one foot away from the front and back.
But unlike Lu Xunli who still didn't know why, as the first Lu Family person to realize that his voice was not heard only by himself, Lu Shiyan already knew it when he heard Lu Yuan say that he was going to have a family meeting, so he was very relaxed when he sat down next to Lu Xunli.
Lu Xunli glanced at Lu Shiyan and remembered that it seemed that he hadn't chatted with this busy second brother for a long time, so he took the initiative to nod and greet him, "You finally have a few days off, and you got up so early?"
"Well... I really wanted to sleep more." Lu Shiyan put the phone on the coffee table and spoke with a somewhat helpless voice, "Unfortunately, my girlfriend called early in the morning and said she had nightmares and was scared. After coaxing her back to sleep, I was no longer sleepy at all, so I just got up to wash up and study Script."
Lu Xunli:"..."
Lu Xunli, who had just broken up in love, was a little silent by this sudden show of dog food, and even suspected that Lu Shiyan's low emotional intelligence at this moment was intentional.
He clearly remembered that his second brother was usually the most observant.
"Oh, so." I originally wanted to end the topic with a few perfunctory words, but when I saw the uncontrollable smile on Lu Shiyan's face, Lu Xunli finally couldn't hold it back and asked two questions that I thought were a bit cold water, "Talking to you Have you seen this girlfriend Xiaoxiao? What is Xiaoxiao's evaluation? I don't mean anything else, but I suddenly feel that Xiaoxiao is quite accurate in judging people. I hope you won't follow in my footsteps."
"I understand. Sangning and Xiaoxiao have met before. They are very close. Brother, just don't worry."
Lu Shiyan has been in the entertainment industry for a long time and has become as good as a human being. Of course, it is impossible not to understand the meaning of Lu Xunli's words.
When he felt that subtle sourness, he immediately frowned, and then showed off without leaving any trace. "But I really have to thank Xiaoxiao for this. If it weren't for her assistance, Sangning and I would not have been able to confess our feelings to each other so quickly. It is not an exaggeration to say that we are together because of Xiaoxiao."
Lu Xunli:"..."
Oh, so the second brother's relationship is really going smoothly.
He is completely different from the loser who was first deceived and then beaten and scolded by his sister.
It's really enviable and a bit helpless.
However, no matter how complicated his mood is, Lu Xunli will not express it on his face. After all, he can only blame himself for not being able to recognize people, which has made the whole family miserable.
So in the end, the man just endured the frustration and said calmly, "Congratulations to Shi Yan."
Well, even if he learns a lesson this time, the worst he can do next time he meets the girl he likes... he should show it to Xiaoxiao earlier!
Lu Xunli had just made a decision in his mind when he suddenly heard movement from the other side of the stairs.
He looked up and saw Lu Jiaoyue chasing Lu Bochen down. While chasing him back, he shouted anxiously, "Third brother, please slow down, it's easy to fall down when walking so fast on the stairs!"
Seeing that Lu Bochen was indeed walking in a hurry, Lu Xunli couldn't help but frown. He stood up worriedly and took two steps forward, raising his arms slightly, ready to support Lu Bochen at any time.
Fortunately, nothing happened when Lu Bochen went downstairs. Lu Xunli breathed a sigh of relief. He slowly took back his hand until he saw his feet firmly on the ground on the first floor. At the same time, he asked Lu Jiaoyue: "What's going on? What is Bochen so worried about?"
"Ah, nothing happened to the third brother. It seems that he suddenly got excited after hearing his mother say that this family meeting was related to my sister." Lu Jiaoyue, who was also relieved, answered and accompanied Lu Bochen to sit down on the sofa, with a happy smile on his face. "The third brother is indeed the most concerned about my sister's affairs. It's great to see him so energetic!"
The tips of Lu Bochen's ears turned reddish as Lu Jiaoyue revealed his deep feelings. He slowly raised his head and looked at the people around him, and said softly, "My family... I care about them all, the same."
Lu Jiaoyue and Lu Xunli looked at each other after hearing this, and then they couldn't help laughing.
The atmosphere in the living room was very warm for a while, but unfortunately it didn't last for two seconds before it was broken by the scream of Lu Yubai.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, it hurts, Dad! Wow, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I was wrong, I was wrong... I will never stay in bed or stay up late playing games anymore. Can you please stop pulling my ears and they will fall off if you pull them again... ahhhhhhhhh..."
The four people on the sofa looked around and saw Lu Yuan, who was carrying Lu Yubai downstairs with a straight face, and Song Zhilan, who was following behind and trying not to laugh.
Lu Yubai was wearing pajamas, his hair was messy, and his expression was visibly sleepy.
"It's better if you pluck off your ears. Anyway, I can't hear your mother with these ears."
Facing Lu Yubai's exaggerated wailing, Lu Yuan's response was a taunt and a cold snort. However, although the words were harsh, the strength in his hands still relaxed as Lu Yubai wished. Lu Yubai then ran down the stairs as if he had been granted amnesty, and hid pitifully behind Lu Jiaoyue.
You don't need to guess to know that this child must have fallen asleep when Song Zhilan went to call someone. As a result, he was soon punished by his own father.
When everyone finally stopped chattering and sat in a circle in the living room, Lu Yuan, the head of the family, spoke in Qingqing's voice:
"Today we are all gathered together while Xiaoxiao is away. There is an important matter to talk about. Before we talk, I want to make sure that you can all hear Xiaoxiao's voice, right?"
