After Mrs. Lu hugged her three little great-grandchildren and made love for a while, she went to look for Lu Xiangxiang, but she did not see the granddaughter who made her think about her day and night.
"Where is Xiangxiang? Why didn't she come?"
Lu Youting didn't say much, and just replied lightly: "She said she didn't want to come."
Mrs. Lu looked back at the birthday cake placed on the coffee table in the living room, with a disappointed look on her face: "Today is her birthday, and I specially prepared a birthday cake for her."
The expression on Lu Youting's face changed subtly.
At this time, he finally understood what Lu Xiangxiang meant.
It turns out today is her birthday.
Mrs. Lu's eyes reddened slightly as she thought of her granddaughter whom she had not seen for more than ten years: "Is she living in Yuting Mansion now? Since she refuses to come, then I will go see her in person."
Mr. Lu also said: "I'll go with you. She refuses to come to see us, and she must still blame us in her heart. I'm going to ask her for forgiveness."
Lu Youting knew that his grandparents felt guilty about Lu Xiangxiang, so he did not stop him and took the three little guys and Jian Si to go with him.
Mr. Lu walked to the door and looked at the indifferent Lu Yandong, furious.
"Why are you still standing here? Xiangxiang is your biological daughter, and today is her birthday. As a father, it's okay if you don't know. Now that you know it and haven't expressed it, are you going to piss me off? If you hadn't insisted on having your own way.
If we want to get divorced, why would she follow her at such a young age and now she is far away in a foreign country, so that we haven’t had a chance to see her for more than ten years?"
Every time he mentioned this matter, he wanted to beat his son severely.
There was a trace of embarrassment in Lu Yandong's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he still went together.
Unfortunately, when they arrived at Yuting Mansion, Lu Xiangxiang had already left, leaving only a broken mobile phone.
Mrs. Lu immediately burst into tears of sadness.
"She is blaming us and refusing to forgive us..."
Whenever this matter is brought up, Lu Yandong will be scolded: "It's all your fault. At first, you were so obsessed with it that you refused to listen to any advice and insisted on getting a divorce. As a result, I lost my granddaughter. You, an unfilial son, deliberately made me feel uncomfortable and miss others."
I go into the coffin with regrets."
Knowing that he was wrong, Lu Yandong stood aside silently every time the matter was brought up, allowing Mrs. Lu to beat and scold her.
In the end, the family gathering ended without any problems because of this episode.
Jian Si persuaded Mrs. Lu for a long time before she calmed down and went home to rest.
After Lu Youting sent Jian Si and the three little guys home, he followed the address investigated by Lu Ya and went to the hotel private room where Lu Xiangxiang was staying.
Lu Xiangxiang was the only one in the private room.
There was a table full of dishes, with a big cake in the middle.
Lu Xiangxiang was drinking alone, and his cheeks were stained with a blush due to the alcohol.
Seeing him coming in, he smiled at her: "Brother, you're here! Come on, have a drink with me. It's not even twelve o'clock yet, and my birthday hasn't passed yet."
Lu Youting walked over and snatched the wine glass from her hand.
Lu Xiangxiang refused and reached out to grab it.
"Why are you grabbing my wine? You don't remember my birthday. Why don't you let me celebrate it myself? Give me the wine back quickly, give it back to me..."
Lu Youting took out a jewelry box from his pants pocket and handed it to her.
"birthday present."
He just went to a jewelry store to buy this on the way here.
Although it was rushed, he carefully selected it.
Lu Xiangxiang was startled and looked up at him in disbelief.
Lu Youting said stiffly: "Happy birthday!"
Lu Xiangxiang looked at him, suddenly feeling aggrieved again, and his eyes turned red unconsciously.
Seeing her crying, Lu Youting immediately hurriedly wiped her tears.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have forgotten your birthday. I hereby apologize to you."
As he spoke, he slowly opened the jewelry box.
Lying quietly inside is a diamond necklace. The design of the diamond necklace is very unique. The diamond in the middle is pink and surrounded by a circle of white diamonds.
The white diamonds are like family, guarding the red diamonds.
"Although it is not appropriate to give diamonds to my sister, after I saw this necklace, I thought it was very suitable to give it to you. The pink diamond in the middle is you, and the ones around it are me, grandparents and dad. We will be like white
Like a diamond, I will protect you."
Warm words, like trickling water, slowly flowed into the heart, giving a little warmth to the heart that was scarred by family members.
Seeing that she didn't accept it, Lu Youting took out the necklace and took the initiative to put it on for her.
"Grandpa and grandma remember your birthday. They bought you a birthday cake today. Unexpectedly, you didn't come. Over the past ten years, they really miss you. It's not that they haven't looked for you, but my mother has
If you hide it, they can't find it."
Suddenly knowing that he was not a child that no one cared for or loved, Lu Xiangxiang gradually let go of the grievances he had suffered over the years.
Lu Youting hugged her into his arms and patted the back of her head gently.
"I will eat birthday cake with you. After eating, follow me home. I will take you to meet your grandparents tomorrow."
Lu Xiangxiang nodded, crying with joy, and the tears fell even more fiercely.
Lu Youting sat down next to her and lit her birthday candles himself. Lu Xiangxiang put his hands together, closed his eyes, and silently made his birthday wish in front of the birthday cake.
[I hope Ah Che and Lu Youting can resolve their feud soon, and Ah Che can find out one day that she has been silently accompanying him, waiting for him.]
After making his wish, Lu Xiangxiang blew out the candles.
Although this birthday was celebrated only by the two of them, it was the second happiest birthday Lu Xiangxiang had had in the past ten years.
The happiest time was the time I spent with Ji Mingche.
Lu Youting never likes sweets, but he still ate a piece of cake for Lu Xiangxiang.
The brother and sister had known each other for such a long time. For the first time, they had no grudges and sat down to eat together with an open heart.
Just when the atmosphere was harmonious, the private room door was suddenly pushed open.
Lu Ya walked in with a sullen face, looked at Lu Xiangxiang on the side, and hesitated to speak.
Lu Youting frowned and said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, just say it. She is my sister, not an outsider."
Lu Ya hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "According to your instructions, the people we sent to Ji's added a large amount of trace amounts of copper to their upcoming new perfume WomanFragrance. In three days, WomanFragrance will be available in all counters across the country.
On the shelves. Once on the shelves, the Industrial and Commercial Administration Bureau and the Supervision Bureau will immediately visit. As long as the ingredients in Ji's cosmetics are found to exceed the standard, their century-old reputation will be affected. When the time comes, we will take the opportunity to destroy it bit by bit.
"
The soft words floated in the cramped private room, and fell into Lu Xiangxiang's ears without missing a word, making her face instantly turn pale.
Lu Youting seemed to have not seen her expression, the expression on his face was dark and unpredictable, and his slender fingers were tapping the table one after another.
"Are you sure nothing will go wrong?"
Lu Ya nodded: "We started the deployment last year, and now it's time to close the net. Ji Mingche hasn't discovered it yet, so there will be no mistakes."
Lu Youting nodded.
Lu Ya put a USB flash drive in his hand in front of Lu Youting: "All the progress and information are in this USB flash drive."
Lu Youting raised his palm and said with satisfaction: "Very good! Observe closely and report to me any situation at any time. Go down!"
"yes!"
Lu Ya took the order and left.
After he left, the smile on Lu Xiangxiang's face gradually became stiff: "Brother, you, you said that the trace amount of copper in Ji's Group's upcoming perfume exceeds the standard?"
Lu Youting pursed his lips and smiled, rubbed her head and said: "This is a matter in the mall, girl's family, don't ask too much."
Lu Xiangxiang focused his attention on the USB flash drive: "This USB flash drive?"
Lu Youting put the USB flash drive into his pants pocket: "Don't lose this USB flash drive. If it falls into Ji Mingche's hands, my plan will not only fail, but it will also cause trouble for the Lu family."
"oh!"
Lu Xiangxiang responded absently, his eyes fell on Lu Youting's pocket where the USB flash drive was placed, and he held the water glass nervously with both hands, his palms sweating.
