Chapter 184 Winter

Feeling the hot air rushing in when the elevator door opened, Lu Yuanqiu immediately raised his eyebrows: "I told you, we must turn on the air conditioner."

After he said that, he let go of the girl's hand. He seemed to be just concerned about whether the girl was cold.

Bai Qingxia suddenly felt a little energy. She took a deep breath and clenched her fist. It was like the clouds parted and the grass in the dark corner got a ray of sunlight, and the hope of "living" was rekindled again.

She couldn't "escape", she told herself softly.

"Oh my god! Oh my god! It's that new song Zhang Jie just released!"

As soon as the elevator door opened, Lu Yidong jumped out excitedly, lifting up her skirt. The little girl jumped happily on the soft carpet, her fair calves faintly visible under her skirt.

"I thought I was favored by time~"

"I thought there were no accidents during the journey~"

……

"Ahhhhh!" she was so excited.

The cheering look immediately attracted the attention of the guests who were already present.

Su Xiaoya coughed, and the little girl calmed down a little, then returned and took Bai Qingxia's arm again.

Bai Qingxia smiled at her sister. The energy given by Lu Yuanqiu's handshake just now was still taking effect.

"Yeah, this floor is really pretty, huh?"

Su Xiaoya leaned over to look. The indoor banquet hall on the fifth floor of the hotel was extremely spacious. Not only that, this floor also extended outward to a large outdoor terrace covered with artificial grass, and outside were stretches of glass railings and blue sky and white clouds.

"The Liu family's hotel is well built." Su Xiaoya said as she took out her cell phone and took a picture.

"What?" Lu Tian was answering the phone nearby, frowning and saying, "Dou Qing just got up? Well...well, let's wait a little longer."

Hearing this, Lu Yuanqiu asked in surprise: "Third sister just got up???"

Lu Tian hung up the phone and nodded.

He said helplessly: "This girl finally came back to attend grandma's birthday party, but when we all arrived, she just got up. This is too disrespectful. Forget it... I dare not scold her."

Lu Tian's voice gradually weakened.

This may not be the case...

Lu Yuanqiu remembered that in the taxi yesterday, his third sister was muttering about grandma's birthday. She most likely set the alarm time wrong. She lived alone at home and no one reminded her.

It's only natural for her to set the wrong alarm given her innocent personality.

"What should we do now? Should we go see mom first?" Su Xiaoya asked.

Lu Tian shook his head: "Brother said that we should wait until everyone is here, so let's go together and just stroll around first, and then we'll talk about it when everyone arrives."

Lu Yuanqiu said at this time: "I'll go see grandma first."

"I'm going too!" Lu Yidong echoed.

Lu Yuanqiu turned around and yelled, "Stay still! If you dare to follow me, I will bite you."

He chased after Lu Yidong with his fangs and claws bared, circling Bai Qingxia. The little girl was so scared that she ran in front of him with an expression pack. When Lu Yidong came to his senses, his brother had disappeared.

The waiting room in the banquet hall.

"I'm sorry, old sister. My granddaughter has an urgent matter today, so I brought her here to see you first. I have to leave soon. Alas, art students are troublesome."

An old man with very long and thick eyebrows said with a smile. His smile was very distinctive, his eyes were almost narrowed into a slit, but one could still see the brilliance in his eyes through the slit.

Standing in front of him was a silver-haired old lady wearing a red and gold cheongsam, and she looked very amiable.

The old lady is thin, but looks very energetic. Even at this age, her eyes are not very cloudy and she still looks dignified and generous. It is obvious to the naked eye that she must have been a great beauty when she was young.

The old lady smiled and nodded. She grabbed the hand of the high school-aged girl standing in front of her with her rough hands and asked gently, "What's your name? Xiaodong, right?"

The girl named Xiaodong nodded gently: "Yes, grandma, just call me Xiaodong."

The old woman smiled and said, "What a coincidence! I have a little granddaughter whose name also contains the character 'Dong'. She is already considered a little beauty in our Lu family. But today I see that you are much prettier than my little granddaughter."

The girl smiled gently. She actually had a cold look, giving people the feeling that she rarely smiled. But once she smiled, there was a comfortable feeling as if ice and snow were melting.

"Thank you for the compliment, grandma. That little sister Xiaodong must be too young and hasn't grown up yet."

The girl responded politely, and the long-browed grandfather next to her reminded her: "Why don't you say happy birthday to Grandma Cao?"

The girl quickly said, "Oh yes, happy birthday grandma. I wish you good health and a long life."

"Hey, hey, okay, okay, I received your blessing. If you have something to do, don't delay, just go and do it."

"Hello, old sister." The grandfather with long eyebrows raised his eyes and looked at the other old man behind him. There was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. He took his granddaughter away without saying hello to the old man behind him.

After the grandfather and grandson left, Lu Cao turned around and looked at them. Her just kind expression suddenly turned displeased.

"Standing there without saying anything makes you look very majestic, right? They brought their juniors here today, and you didn't even go over to say hello!"

The old man who was standing there sulking turned around. He was a bald man with a rough face and hard black and white stubble around his lips. He was Lu Yuanqiu's second uncle, Lu Xingzhou.

"Sister-in-law, you don't know, that guy is so dishonest. Originally, his company had agreed with our Lu Corporation on a spokesperson, but this spokesperson turned around and endorsed White Rhino biscuits. I only found out it was his idea when I asked him!"

The rough-looking old man became so angry when he said this that he sat down heavily on the chair.

Mrs. Lu Cao came over and slapped the rough old man hard on the bald head, scolding him: "What did your brother teach you? Do you know what it means for a businessman to not show his emotions on his face? In this regard, you are not as good as your eldest nephew!"

"No matter what, she brought her granddaughter here today, and you're still giving her a cold shoulder? Is it appropriate to give her a cold shoulder in front of a child in this kind of situation?"

The rough old man was taught a lesson and raised his head angrily, but did not dare to refute. Everyone knew that he respected his sister-in-law very much. When he made a mistake when he was young, his sister-in-law broke three of his penis with a stick. He knelt there and did not dare to say a word.

Mrs. Lu Cao sat on a chair, picked up the cup beside her and drank a sip of tea, and reminded her: "Today is my 70th birthday, so put away your hot temper and don't embarrass the younger generations and make them look bad."

Lu Xingzhou frowned and sat down beside them. "That depends on whether they are thoughtful or not. My mom and grandma are celebrating their 70th birthday. If they are still the same as before and more than ten people can't even come up with a gift, I will get mad on the spot!"

The old woman wanted to scold him, but she opened her mouth and stopped herself from speaking.

"Zhou, things are different now than before. The children are so busy that sometimes they don't even have time to eat."

"Your nephews are so busy that they don't sleep for days and nights. They are all so old. I am very satisfied that they can take time out of their busy schedule to come and see me. Gifts or not, do you think I am someone who needs anything? They usually buy me a lot of things."
