Chapter 5 Birthdays and Death Dates
Lu Xinman raised his head slightly, pulled up his suitcase, calmly walked out of the gate step by step.
When she walked to the entrance, she hesitated for two seconds and chose to put the key on the shoe cabinet.
This empty house made people feel hopeless, and she thought that it would be much better with him, but he didn't want to stay, so this house had no meaning for her.
β¦β¦
A month later, Lu Xinman found out that she was pregnant at an independent clinic in the suburbs.
The thin pregnancy test notice carried her full of joy.
She selfishly felt that this matter should be known to Qin Shi. But when she took the list and returned to the villa, she saw Lu Ningwan getting out of a car that she was so familiar with that she couldn't be more familiar, and the person who came down next was Qin Shi.
The two of them were very intimate, Lu Ningwan looked at Qin Shi and smiled sweetly, and Lu Xinman, who was watching, felt that his blood was cold for a moment.
Lu Xin returned to her apartment in despair, and realized that she might have shared the news with the Lu family.
I was stunned in my mind, and I didn't look ahead, but I didn't expect to collide with Lu Ningwan head-on as soon as I arrived at the unit building, Lu Xin was stunned, and then subconsciously wanted to dodge.
Lu Ningwan blocked her way by herself, and smiled softly and lovely, "Xinman, I just wanted to find you, and I met it so coincidentally." It's my father's fiftieth birthday in a few days, the Lu family is going to hold a birthday banquet, as the second lady of the Lu family and the wife of Qin Shi's brother, will you come, right? β
Lu Xinman listened to this, and he didn't feel that this was a question sentence at all.
"The Lu family's birthday banquet is naturally attended by the Lu family, so what does it matter if I'm not there?" Lu Xin's eyes were cold, and even his tone was cold, "Let's leave if there's nothing to do, don't let Qin Shi wait too long, his body is not convenient for driving for a long time." β
"Lu Xinman!" Lu Ningwan directly tore her face, too lazy to disguise it any longer, and roared: "You are still surnamed Lu!" β
"My surname is Jiang!" Lu Xinman replied unceremoniously, and his tone was angry that was on par with Lu Ningwan.
Lu Ningwan's eyelashes trembled, looking at Lu Xinman, he didn't think it was necessary to talk about blood relations at this time, and went straight to the point, "When do you still want to pester Brother Qin Shi?" I'll tell you the truth, I came to you to divorce Brother Qin Shi! β
"I think it's necessary for you to figure out the situation," Lu Xinman tilted his head slightly, his tone was sarcastic, and he snorted coldly, "The person who doesn't want to divorce is not me, it's your brother Qin Shi." β
Lu Xinman admired the struggle and resentment in Lu Ningwan's eyes with satisfaction, and suddenly got closer to her, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his words were weird, "Besides, your brother Qin Shi only has half a year left, and there are only a few months left, is it important for you not to divorce?" Or is it that compared to Qin Shi, the position of the daughter-in-law of the Qin family is more important to you? β
When she said this, Lu Ningwan's face was not ugly, but it was not as violent as she thought, but it might not be the same as expected, and she even felt that Lu Ningwan showed a kind of calm and indifference.
"I only ask this one," Lu Ningwan is like a robot, as if he has been programmed to do so, and he only cares about this one-"When will you divorce Brother Qin Shi?" β
"Next life."
Lu Xinman couldn't help sneering in his heart, and found that Lu Ningwan was really naΓ―ve, obviously the decision was not in his hands, but he wanted to seek progress from her, and he didn't know whether to call her stupid or ridiculous.
I'm going to go upstairs and snuggle up on the couch for a while.
Lu Ningwan took out a gilded invitation and smashed it behind Lu Xinman, snorting disdainfully, "I brought my father's meaning here anyway, whether you like to go or not, no one begs you!" β
Lu Xinman didn't move, feeling that Lu Ning was far away before turning around, seeing the invitation next to his toes, picking it up, and suddenly squinting at his good-looking apricot eyes and laughing.
October 10 is Lu Tianming's fiftieth birthday, and she will of course go as the nominal second miss of the Lu family.
That day happened to be Jiang Lan's sacrifice day.
On that day, he would know that she had Qin Shi's child, and she thought that this would be the best congratulatory gift for Lu Tianming.
β¦β¦
October 10, Wancheng.
The night wandered around like a seductive ghost, and a few stars fell and crumbled in the sky.
The hotel is brightly lit and staggered.
The largest number of celebrities and tycoons in Wancheng gathered here to congratulate Lu Tianming on his fiftieth birthday.
Between the clothes and sideburns, the shaking red wine glasses collided between everyone's smirk and fake politeness, and at this time, the door of the banquet hall in the center suddenly opened slowly, and everyone looked at it, wanting to see who came so late.
After seeing the person clearly, a very subtle emotion began to appear on everyone's faces, as if they had something to say, but everyone invariably kept silent, but their faces became more and more weird.
I don't understand that this woman in a black mourning dress has a small white flower pinned to her head, which looks particularly eye-catching under the delicate coiled hair.
Is this in the wrong place, it's obviously a birthday party, how can it ...... How do you make it like a funeral?
Everyone looked at each other, and there was obvious consternation in their eyes.
But if you look closely, you don't think it's right, because the woman's eyes are bright and bright, her red lips are delicate, and there is a very decent smile on the corner of her mouth, and there seems to be no trace of sadness.
The way this woman appeared was so special that many people did not look away for a while, wanting to see who she knew and what she was going to do.
Lu Xinman didn't seem to care about the eyes of others at all, but smoothly stepped on the five-centimeter-high heels, and walked to Lu Tianming, whose face was getting more and more gloomy, and the corners of his mouth were still the smile that couldn't be faulted, "Dad, happy fifty." β
When everyone saw this scene and heard this sentence, they suddenly realized - oh, it turned out to be the second miss of the Lu family......
For a while, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
I have heard that the eldest lady of the Lu family has a beautiful appearance and can sing and dance, but this second lady, even if she is dressed plainly, has not been robbed of her temperament at all, and has a unique charm of her own.
It can even be said that the feeling of a light in the eyes is bright.
Lu Ningwan stood next to Lu Tianming, feeling that everyone was looking at Lu Xinman, and he was very unconvinced, but he still had to pretend to be smiling on the surface.
As if intending to show sisterhood, he opened his mouth gently and considerately, "Xinman, what are you doing here?" It's my father's 50th birthday, don't you dress like this? β
"But today is also my mother's death day," Lu Xinman seemed to have expected it, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little stiff when he saw Lu Ningwan's face.
But then she felt that she was not worthy of controlling her emotions, so she gently pulled the corners of her mouth, returned to that impeccable smile, and said word by word: "Send birthday wishes to my father, and I have to rush to send flowers to my mother's grave." After all, after so many years, I'm the only one who will go to see my mother......"
As he spoke, Lu Xinman looked at Lu Tianming with interest, and saw his pale face with anger.
"Shut up!" Lu Tianming felt that he was a little arrhythmic, his breathing suddenly became heavy, and he interrupted through gritted teeth: "Something that can't be on the table, I have a big birthday today, you have to embarrass me, you get out!" How far you roll, how far you roll! I don't want to see you! β
"Can't get on the table? Get lost? The smile on the corner of Lu Xin's mouth disappeared in an instant, his eyes deepened, and he muttered and repeated Lu Tianming's words, looking at Lu Tianming, his eyes were black that he couldn't understand.
"Even if I can't get on the stage again, I still have your blood and bones. Don't forget, you provoked my mother first, if you disliked her humble status at first, why throw it away after provoking it, Lu Tianming,"
Lu Xin was really angry, trying to suppress it, feeling a pain in his heart, "Don't you think you're cheap!" β
"Smack!" A slap fell as Lu Xinman finished speaking.
