Chapter 6 (2/2)

It was considered sumptuous for three people.

Father Lu, Lu Zhizhai, was not returning home for dinner.

Lu Xinnuan and Lu Mian each took their seats.

The ambiance… was cold and eerie.

The plate of burgers was pushed in front of Lu Mian. “This is your favourite. I tried making two, have a taste. It’s cleaner and more nutritious than outside.”

Lu Mian picked the burger up and ate it slowly.

Eating a burger was nothing glamorous, but it looked good when Lu Mian was doing it.

She ate the burgers silently, not intending to speak at all.

Fu Man’s mouth was half opened. Her heart was heavy with complex emotions.

She looked towards the empty master seat, eye hers filled with indignance and unhappiness.

Her eldest daughter was a handful, and her husband was estranged.

Lu Zhizhai was managing the struggling factory out of town, and only returned home twice a month.

Of course, he was not willing to return either.

Lu Zhizhai and Fu Man’s relationship had been facing problems. Poor couples have a hundred problems, and the couple had threatened to divorce countless times.

But Fu Man felt that a divorce was disgraceful and refused, so they never went through with it.

Lu Zhizhai returned home less frequently from then on, and their relationship turned cold.

He did not even show up when Lu Mian returned safely.

Fu Man was just a common woman with conservative thoughts. She could do nothing but swallow all her sorrows in marriage.

Thankfully she could still count on Xinnuan.

After Xinnuan graduated from high school, got into a good university and married into a good family, no one would look down on them.

As for her eldest daughter…

Fu Man recalled the two troubling phone calls that she had received earlier in the day.
