The old man’s topic shifted again to Shen Weiyi who was quietly sitting beside him.
"Weiwei, do you have a suitable partner? I think the Gu Family’s young man is quite nice. You’re also developing in the Gu Family, so if there’s a further relationship, grandpa would support it."
She is also a mber of the Lu Family and is not treated as an outsider.
Among so many juniors, there are only a few that the old man would specifically ntion, and she is one of them.
Perhaps because of the continuous big and small matters lately, she looks a bit unwell, but dressed in white with black hair, she still maintains a docile and ladylike appearance.
Her gaze fell on Lu Huai’an opposite her for a mont, and then she withdrew it, smiling warmly, "I’m not quite suitable with Shaozhi, we’re just friends now."
The old man caught the sadness hidden in Shen Weiyi’s emotions and his gaze beca more stern and serious.
"Since so matters are already decided and unchangeable, it’s ti to put a stop to impossible thoughts. You are also a child of the Lu Family, you won’t lack what you should have. There are many single upper-class children in An City; you’re not young anymore, it’s ti to start worrying about your personal matters."
This remark was undoubtedly ant for Shen Weiyi.
Her beautiful face turned pale at this mont, and her hands on her lap tightened unconsciously, her nails deeply digging into her tender flesh, but she seed to feel no pain.
What are impossible thoughts?
What else could it be.
Everyone in the Lu Family knows that she should have been Lu Huai’an’s wife, strangely given an identity only to be suddenly withdrawn, was she ever given an explanation?
Shen Weiyi bit her lower lip, unable to utter a word.
Song Jingyuan pitied her and spoke up to relieve her, "Dad, Weiwei this child is a bit introverted. Besides work, she doesn’t engage much in social activities, and her career is still on the rise, she’s very busy every day, neglecting matters of the heart is normal."
Two tables were set in the dining room, and the dishes had already been placed on the table.
After putting down his teacup, the old man stood up with a cane, "She hasn’t ti to worry, so you sisters-in-law should pay attention when you co across soone at an appropriate age, and arrange etings when there is a chance."
Song Jingyuan nodded in response, "Understood, Dad."
The old man was supported as he walked towards the dining room, Song Jingyuan patted Shen Weiyi’s hand, whispering reassurance.
The pallor on Shen Weiyi’s face faded slightly, and she smiled, "Grandpa is only looking out for ."
...
The Lu Family indeed has many rules.
At the dining table, people generally don’t speak, even children as young as six or seven are very well-mannered, unless the old man raises a topic, others remain silent.
Lin Chu felt like she could eat a whole cow upon returning ho, but sitting at the dining table, she couldn’t even take a bite.
Of course, not moving chopsticks is impossible.
A piece of ribs appeared in her bowl, followed by a deep man’s voice in her ear, "Eat properly, don’t daydream."
It was Lu Huai’an.
Lin Chu responded softly, then stiffly started moving her chopsticks to stir the food in her bowl.
The atmosphere was just right, the noble lady sitting at the sa table was the old man’s favorite daughter-in-law, looking at the two and teasing with a smile.
"You two are getting along so well. I rember when Xiao Chu used to chase after Huai’an, Huai’an would always act indifferent. It seems there were early signs."
Everyone in the Lu Family is well aware of how Lu Huai’an and Lin Chu’s marriage began.
The Lu Family was in crisis, and the Lin Family lent a helping hand.
Their relationship, as seen by the Lu Family, was built on a foundation of transaction.
Lin Chu couldn’t decipher the components of the opposing party’s words and didn’t know how to respond for a while.
Lu Huai’an, naturally quiet and reticent, didn’t speak either, only added so vegetables to Lin Chu’s bowl.
Song Jingyuan smiled and said, "Young people’s feelings are different from those of our generation, who can predict matters of the heart? Before the Lin Family moved, Xiao Chu often ca to play at our house, we’ve practically watched her grow up. Huai’an is not good at expressing himself, whereas Xiao Chu is the opposite – their personalities complent each other well."
The noble lady made a cup of tea for the old man.
"Indeed, this girl only has eyes for Huai’an; ordinary people can’t catch her eyes."
Looking at Lu Mingchuan seated across, she sighed with intentionality.
"Ah, our Mingchuan is not as fortunate. He’s still single, and I don’t know when I can hold a grandchild."
"It’ll happen sooner or later, don’t rush."
"..."

After the al, the n of the Lu Family were called upstairs.
