His words struck a chord in Fu Man’s heart.

They were a family. She really wanted to let those things remain in the past and never bring it up again.

Lu Mian shrugged her shoulders with indifference and continued to focus on playing the game on her cell phone. Her tone was filled with a slight absurdity. “You take care. Ha.”

“You…”

Lu Xingtang was deflated. He shook his head, gloomily threw his hands and left.

Lu Xinnuan secretly blamed Lu Mian before she hurriedly chased after them.

Fu Man rushed over after they were far away. She snatched her phone away sternly.

“Lu Mian, how can you speak to your elders like that? Have you forgotten all the lessons on mannerism that I taught you when you were young? You hold the cell phone all day long. Is it going to get you into the top ten ranking of your grade? Will your cell phone get you first place in a drawing competition? Can it help you get ahead in life?”

Her voice was hoarse at the end. “Can’t you learn to be more like Nuannuan…”

Lu Mian’s hands were empty, but she maintained her original posture.

After Fu Man was done with her scolding, Lu Mian finally raised her eyelids lazily. Her clear and exquisite large eyes were filled with an evil and cold smile, the carelessness that came after numbness.

“In your eyes, I naturally can’t compare to her in every way. I thought you guys would be different when I came back. The truth is, you never expected me to return.”

Her faint smile and cynical tone pierced Fu Man’s heart like a knife.

“Mianmian, it’s not like that…”

While Fu Man was in a state of shock, Lu Mian had already taken her cell phone and went out.

The middle-aged woman watched her back as she left, grasping her heart as if something precious was getting further away from her…

…

Su family mansion.

As the representative of Wu City’s big families, today’s small and private banquet was a reception for Old Mr. Su.

Old Mr. Su, Su Qinghe, had an important status in Wu City. This time, he had returned from recuperating abroad. Those who wished to suck up to the Su family naturally thought this was an important event and came to pay their respects.

However, this old man always lived a simple and reclusive life. Even those close to the Su family found it hard to see him. If it wasn’t for everyone’s strong request, there wouldn’t be this banquet.
