616 The Lu Family’s Daughter-in-law
Seeing that someone was scolding her adoptive mother, Lu Xiaoyun said angrily, “Who are you to be so rude in front of my grandfather?”
The old man’s sharp gaze swept over, and Lu Xiaoyun trembled unconsciously. She curled up in the Second Madam’s arms.
The old man glanced at Old Master Lu and introduced himself. “I’m Xiao Huaijun. I think Old Master Lu must have heard of my name. I, Xiao Huaijun, have never been looked down on like this. The granddaughter of Old Master Lu is indeed different.”
Old Master Lu’s face darkened. He glared at Lu Xiaoyun.
Then, he apologized to Old Master Xiao amiably. “I’m sorry. My granddaughter didn’t recognize you. It’s our Lu family’s fault for not teaching our child well. I’ll definitely teach her well later.”
Old Master Xiao glanced at Lu Xiaoyun and shook his head.
He was clearly speechless at the Lu family’s upbringing.
When Lu Xiaoyun saw how respectful her grandfather was to Old Master Xiao, she immediately panicked. She knew that she had caused trouble and looked vexed.
At this moment, the Second Madam did not look too good. Seeing that her father-in-law had never been so humble and fawning over the other party, she began to feel uneasy.
Lu Yu glared fiercely at the Second Madam, silently condemning her for not teaching their daughter well.
Fortunately, Old Master Xiao kept the peace, but not for the sake of the Lu family. “Old Master Lu, today is An’an’s home ground. That girl spent a lot of effort to host today’s banquet. I’m cherishing peace, so I won’t mind your granddaughter’s humiliation. However, I have to remind Old Master Lu that the family tradition is very important.”
Old Master Lu glanced at Lu Yu resentfully and sighed. “How can Elder Xiao’s words not be what I’m looking forward to?”
Old Master Xiao instantly had an epiphany.
Old Master Lu was helpless.
At this moment, Xiaoran and Qiao An had already walked close to them with red wine in their hands.
Old Master Lu’s gaze was attracted to Xiaoran. He was very surprised to see those big shots being polite to Xiaoran, respectful, liked, and protected. He really did not understand how Xiaoran won over those difficult people.
At this moment, even the serious Old Master Xiao looked at Xiaoran and Qiao An dotingly.
Old Master Xiao picked up his wine glass and took the initiative to walk up.
Qiao An was pleasantly surprised to see Old Master Xiao. “Grandpa Xiao? It’s great to see you here.”
“An’an, you and Xiaoran didn’t have a wedding or a one-month-old celebration when you gave birth. It’s rare for you to be so lively in your lives. Grandpa Xiao will definitely come to support you.”
Xiaoran hugged Old Master Xiao. “Grandpa Xiao, don’t worry. We’ll have many gatherings in the future. Look, you’re healthy now and can still live for many years.”
Old Master Xiao said gratefully, “It’s all thanks to your miracle. If it weren’t for you, I would have met the King of Hell long ago.”
Xiaoran smiled and said, “You’re tough, so the King of Hell doesn’t dare to accept you. Live well and wait to see our Joey get married.”
At this moment, Huo Xiaoran saw Old Master Lu not far away and was stunned. He took two steps forward and suddenly saw Lu Xiaoyun. He took into account Qiao An’s feelings and suddenly stopped.
Qiao An said, “Brother Xiaoran, go. They’re guests after all. You shouldn’t be cold to them.”
Only then did Huo Xiaoran walk towards Old Master Lu.
Old Master Xiao looked surprised. “How did Xiaoran and the Lu family know each other?”
Qiao An told Grandpa Xiao in a low voice, “The Lu family is Brother Xiaoran’s main family.”
Grandpa Xiao was dumbfounded. Then, he smacked his lips and said, “Old Master Lu picked up such a good grandson for free. He’s really lucky.” He was extremely jealous.
Huo Xiaoran walked up to Old Master Lu with his hands in his pockets and a shy smile on his handsome face.
After all, he had been humiliated by the Lu family a few days ago.
On the other hand, Old Master Lu apologized with tears in his eyes. “Xiaoran, I’m sorry. Grandpa misunderstood you.”
Huo Xiaoran was magnanimous and smiled. “You were just blindly protective.”
Lu Xiaoyun blushed again.
Old Master Lu held Xiaoran’s hand excitedly and said, “Let Grandpa take a look?”
Old Master Lu carefully looked at Huo Xiaoran and finally blamed himself.
“Sigh, I’m really muddle-headed. You look exactly like your father when he was young.”
After all, they were related by blood. The grandfather and grandson quickly forgot their unhappiness. Old Master Lu also found this grandson more and more pleasing to the eye.
“Xiaoran, I know you’re outstanding. Your Angel Group is in some trouble now. Our Lu family can help you.” Old Master Lu quickly expressed his goodwill.
Lu Yu smiled at the side.
The Second Madam clenched her fists and gritted her teeth in hatred.
Huo Xiaoran glanced at Lu Yu and the Second Madam and immediately remembered that the descendants of the Li family had fallen in the end. He was unwilling to live in fear for the sake of wealth.
Xiaoran rejected politely, “Grandpa, if you want me to return to the Lu family, I only have one condition. I won’t touch the Lu family’s assets.”
Old Master Lu exclaimed, “Why?”
The Second Madam’s clenched fists relaxed.
Xiaoran said, “I just want to live a peaceful life with An’an.”
Old Master Lu smiled and said, “You’re still so young. Why are you thinking like an old man?”
“Perhaps the first half of my life was too turbulent. I only want to live a stable life for the rest of my life.”
“Let’s not talk about this first. Xiaoran, where’s your father?”
Huo Xiaoran smiled mysteriously and said, “In order to surprise my father, we deliberately sent him away. Grandpa, follow me. I’ll bring you over to see him.”
Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An brought Old Master Lu’s family to the lounge of the clubhouse. There were gifts piled high inside, and Falcon was arranging them in a box.
When Xiaoran entered, he called out, “Dad.”
Falcon was busy with the work in his hand and said without looking back, “Xiaoran, quickly come over and help Dad. An’an asked me to finish packing the gifts, but I’m too slow.”
Huo Xiaoran glanced at the mischievous Qiao An and gave her a thumbs up.
...
Xiao Ran cleared her throat and deliberately complained, “An’an really didn’t think it through. The banquet has already begun outside. How can she leave Dad here alone?”
“Aiya, child, don’t blame An’an. That girl is just doing you a favor out of goodwill. You should be satisfied with a wife like An’an.”
“Dad’s the best,” Qiao An pouted.
Falcon turned. “Sure. Are the two of you playing tricks on Dad?”
Xiaoran and Qiao An suddenly separated. At this moment, Falcon saw the Lu family behind Xiao Ran and was immediately astounded.
