The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 738 - 736: You Are Still the Lu Family’s Daughter-in-law
Besides the few times she made snide remarks about Ji Niandong while helping Tu Yingying get close to Lu Beichen, she hadn’t really done anything against her. Moreover, she had reformed. Ji Niandong had noticed this in the past few days. With the New Year’s Eve tomorrow, she also wanted her family to be harmonious.
Hearing this, Tu Meijiao felt even more guilty and leaned against Lu Xinguo, crying.
Turning conflict into peace, Ji Niandong felt quite happy. Holding Little Bun’s hand, she continued to accompany Zhang Huiqin in preparing things for tomorrow night’s New Year’s Eve.
That night, the doctor confirmed that the child in Tu Yingying’s womb was indeed not Lu Beiyao’s, but unfortunately, Tu Yingying suffered a miscarriage during the process. She refused to say anything, leaving the origin of the child unverified!
Early the next morning, the entire Lu Mansion was adorned with red couplets and large red lanterns, making the place look joyful, filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year.
This year, Lu Beichen and Lu Qingyuan personally took on these tasks, with Little Bun following behind them to help, looking cheerful all the while. He wore the birthday gift Ji Niandong had previously given him, and dressed all in red, he looked extremely adorable.
This New Year was particularly delightful, as Zhang Huiqin and Ji Niandong were busy in the kitchen since morning, preparing for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
The whole family actively participated, even Lu Xinguo and his wife joined in to help. This New Year’s Eve felt exceptionally festive.
It wasn’t until the New Year’s Eve dinner was served that Lu Beiyao returned, with Li Siru following him. Everyone was surprised. Tu Meijiao had been calling her son all morning, hoping he would return. Now that he and Li Siru came back together, they were momentarily unsure of how to react.
The others were elated, especially Ji Niandong, who immediately linked arms with Li Siru, "Sister-in-law, you’re back?"
She sized up Li Siru, although she was thinner, she looked much more spirited than before. Since she came back to the Lu Mansion, did it mean their divorce procedures hadn’t been completed?
Ji Niandong didn’t ask further but led her inside. Li Siru greeted everyone as though she were a guest, appearing quite distant, "Sorry, I shouldn’t have come on a reunion night, but..."
"What are you saying?" Zhang Huiqin interrupted her with a smile, "You are part of the Lu Family, it’s only right to spend reunion night together." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
"Our divorce agreement has already been submitted to the court and is being processed," Li Siru said candidly, making everyone momentarily silent.
Lu Beiyao said, "Let’s eat, or the dishes will get cold!"
"Yes, let’s eat!" Zhang Huiqin also smiled faintly, with a trace of regret in her expression.
"The procedures haven’t been completed, so you’re still the Lu family’s daughter-in-law. No need to be so polite," Lu Qingyuan said, and everyone understood the implication.
As usual, everyone sat in their respective places. Past New Year celebrations had been cold and silent, but tonight was lively, with Li Siru chatting more, sharing laughter with Ji Niandong. Unpleasant topics were consciously avoided by everyone.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner ended, Lu Qingyuan and Zhang Huiqin went to the living room first, huddling together. Lu Xinguo and Tu Meijiao hesitantly approached Li Siru and stopped her.
Li Siru immediately said, "Don’t worry, I plan to leave after the meal!"
"Stay tonight, stay up for the vigil as you’re still the Lu family’s daughter-in-law!" Tu Meijiao spoke up, though her tone remained cool, her words were slightly more pleasing.
Li Siru smiled faintly, feeling a bit sarcastic, "I’d better leave, I don’t think you’d be happy seeing me during the New Year."
Just as she took a step to leave, Tu Meijiao said, "Do you want me to bow and apologize for you to stay? To not get a divorce?"
