But after these words were said, Lu Tingshen's face not only did not improve, but became darker, as if covered with a black veil.

"Get in the car."

He opened the car door and waited for Ji Yan to go up, and then got into the car from the other side.

The driver who drove the car, who had worked in the Lu family for many years, seemed to notice that the atmosphere was a little weird, so he joked, "Is the young master going to take the young lady on a date?" The lord and the lady are about to come back, so it's good to live in the world of two people at this time. ”

Ji Yan subconsciously ignored the previous words, and said in surprise, "Mom and Dad are coming back?" ”

The man said coldly, "Talkative." ”

The driver immediately stopped talking, and no matter how Ji Yan asked, he just smiled helplessly.

She could only look at the cold and somewhat arrogant man next to her, with a helpless expression, "I've followed you, so should you tell me where you want to take me before you reach your destination?" ”

Just follow him so suddenly, if you really sell yourself, you don't know.

Lu Tingshen still had a cold face, and his complexion did not change at all, "You'll know when you arrive." ”

Those were the last words he spoke.

It took about a quarter of an hour or so to arrive at the destination, which was a high gate of the Grace Garden, a place to drink tea.

After entering, there is a piece of antique, everywhere is hung with decorations that can only appear in ancient costume TV dramas, such as gauze curtains, sliding wooden doors, you can see a hanging red lantern after walking five or six steps, and even the carpet is printed with festive prints.

"It looks more like a place for a Chinese wedding." Ji Yan likes this place very much, his eyes are shining and he looks around, and the meaning of his liking is already beyond words.

Hearing this, Lu Ting glanced at him deeply, "You like it here?" ”

I don't know if it's Ji Yan's illusion, she feels that this sentence is like saying, if you like it, then this is where they will get married in the future.

This idea was a little scary, she shook her head slightly and threw the idea out, and smirked, "I don't know if Mr. Lu brought me here to solve something?" ”

He didn't speak, and continued on until he turned a few more corners before pushing open the door in front of him.

As soon as the door opened, the sound of laughter and conversation poured out from inside.

A group of men and women sat in the room drinking and chatting, among which only Bai Yin was more familiar, and the others did not have any impression.

"Mr. Lu!"

"Brother Lu, are you here?"

"But who's around you?"

As soon as the person who was talking and laughing saw Lu Tingshen bring someone in, he immediately stood up and said hello, his movements were as fluent as if he had done it hundreds of times, but when his eyes were on Ji Yan next to him, it was a little strange.

He ignored the other people's eyes, walked over to Bai Yin and sat down, and Ji Yan sat in the middle of them, looking protected.

"Brother Lu, you haven't been here for a long time from our party. Why did you bring someone with you this time? It looks familiar, but I can't name it. Otherwise, Brother Lu introduced it? "There was a woman with heavy makeup pinching her long nails and leaning forward, and she spoke in a weird way.

Before Lu Tingshen could speak, Bai Yin took the lead and said, "Okay, you also know that my brother is rare to visit, so don't let him think about it first." What you were going to say is going to continue now, but you can't disrupt the original trajectory just because who's coming and who's gone. ”

This is undoubtedly protecting Ji Yan, and the blind can see it.

The woman snorted coldly and didn't say anything more.

"Everyone is a member of the Lu family, there is no need to cheat here, anyway, the thick ancestor worship is also going to meet, if the relationship is messed up here, how embarrassing will it be to meet again in the end?" Someone recognized Ji Yan's identity at a glance, and he was hinting at it both openly and secretly.

Someone toasted here, but they were all stopped by Bai Yin.

"They all came by car, and they drank and made mistakes."

Ji Yan looked at the people here, but she didn't know that they were also looking at her carefully, and everyone was testing each other.

"I think this should be Brother Lu's wife, right?" A man with a thief's eyebrows wandered his eyes on Ji Yan's chest, and laughed strangely, "I have long known that Brother Lu is married in private, but there has been no news, and I thought that I was going to raise a wife and hide Jiao in the golden house." How could Brother Lu be willing to bring people out this time to open our eyes? ”

Ji Yan is wearing an apricot-colored silk dress today, and the hem of the skirt is very draped, which makes her longer waist and thin legs. The cold eyebrows and eyes were swept away, which really made people feel a bit of Lu Tingshen's temperament.

"People are called Jinwu Zangjiao, but what is Brother Lu hiding here? I've heard of this Ji Yan a long time ago, but it's just the illegitimate daughter of the Ji family. ”

As long as there are many people, there will be gossip, not to mention that a group of people from the Lu family gather together, and the people who are already fighting openly and secretly because of various things are naturally eager to lead things to others.

"Do you have a lot to say about my wife?" Lu Tingshen picked up the purple sand teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea elegantly and handed it to Ji Yan, his protection was undisguised.

When he heard this, Ji Yan also looked over in surprise, as if he didn't expect him to defend himself in front of so many people, after all, in terms of relationship, he was still close to this group of deviated and partial Lu family.

The person who said this smiled wryly, and quickly defended himself, "This is also what I heard from other people, and there is no other meaning. ”

Bai Yin had long been accustomed to them talking like this, and waved his hand in disgust, "We didn't come here to hear this, if you like gossip so much, it's better to change your identity and be a paparazzi." Let's get down to business, I'm going to worship my ancestors in a few days, have you received any news over there? ”

They looked at each other, their eyes full of tangled light.

Someone looked at Ji Yan with embarrassment, and said cryptically, "The news is indeed received, but this is the Lu family's business, and it may not be convenient to say it here." ”

Ji Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "I have to refute what you say, I am Lu Tingshen's wife on the household registration, and my name is right." Do you think I'm not from the Lu family, so I shouldn't be here to ruin your conversation? That means that you don't think Lu Tingshen is the Lu family. ”

The person who replaced him was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Lu Tingshen's face a little colder, his desire to survive made him shut up immediately.

"Let's just tell me the news, if I hear someone say this again, you should remember my methods, right?" Bai Yin snapped his wrist and raised his eyebrows as if threatening.

The death-like silence spread in the private room, and only the three of them were talking and laughing there as if no one was there, and their ease was not like talking about ancestor worship, but like talking about what to eat for Chinese New Year's Eve.

Ji Yan took a sip of the teacup, his eyes lit up in surprise, and he coughed lightly, "This taste is very good, the entrance is faintly bitter, but after that, there is a burst of fragrance, and the fragrance seems to be jumping on the tip of the tongue." ”

"As you say, if I invite you to come here as a teacher of the tea ceremony, maybe you can make some money for me to come back." Bai Yin looked at her playfully.

"Ahem!"

Seeing that the topic is getting more and more deviated, finally someone can't bear it anymore.

It was indeed good that they had come to discuss the matter of ancestor worship, although it was very wrong to lead the topic to Ji Yan before this, it did not mean that they could sit here and listen to these boring conversations.

Ji Yan just wanted to open his mouth but was interrupted by a cough, so he put down the teacup and sat down.

Lu Ting's deep eyes dimmed, and he threw it away coldly, and said with a poisonous tongue, "If you are sick, go to the hospital, and you will die to buy a cemetery." ”

"Mr. Lu's temper is a little ...... today Rush hahaha. The man scratched his head in embarrassment, and then changed the topic with a serious face, "The matter of ancestor worship has not been settled for the time being, and the news I received is from my family." Because of the family's accident, this year's ancestor worship may be postponed or even canceled, but nothing like this has happened before, and I don't know what happened this time. ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere fell to freezing point again, but this time because of the knife hanging overhead.

"The message I received is not much different from yours, but there is another very important piece of information that you don't know." When he said this, someone suddenly put his eyes on Lu Tingshen, "The heir of this family has had some accidents, so we need to temporarily train an heir to come out and take on the current situation." ”

This is still too vague, it is nothing more than to find a stand-in to solve the current problem, and then let the real heir go up after everything is solved, and all the good falls on the heir, but who knows what the so-called stand-in will have to bear?

This was said very easily, but everyone present paused, and they didn't even have the mood to joke.

Even Bai Yin and Lu Tingshen were a little surprised, but it was only for a moment.

"Where is the heir such a thing as it is so simple, if it is so easy, then wouldn't the heirs of all enterprises secretly raise a stand-in to die?" Bai Yin pursed his lips and dismissed.

This matter is easier said than done, although everyone is from the Lu family, but there is too much difference between the family and the side branches. Who can guarantee that the newly cultivated stand-in will be willing to work hard to pave the way for others?

"If this thing is not done well, it will be a new version of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf. We all understand these truths, and it is impossible for people in our own family not to understand them. Whether this is a real accident or a test, only those who have tried it will understand. ”

After getting the news he wanted, Bai Yin didn't bother to mix with them again, patted his butt and got up to leave.

But when he was leaving, he suddenly thought of a question, and his footsteps immediately stopped, "Since these news can be transmitted back, why haven't those people who arrived at the house have come back yet?" ”

In the past, it didn't take a few days for someone to report the situation to the family, but this time it has been delayed because of the relationship between the heirs of the family.

These words attracted the attention of many people, and they all thought of it in hindsight, and their faces changed.

"Is it ......?"
