Lu Mian only returned home after she ate a burger outside.

When she returned, the sky was already dark.

When she arrived at the annex, there was a rather old car parked at the door.

In a rare display, many of the lights in the annex were turned on, and the house looked more lively than it did before.

Lu Mian moved her mouth sarcastically as she recalled the text she received from Fu Man at noon.

Lu Xinnuan was already home. When she did not have remedial classes, she always returned home on time, she was the apple of her parents’ eye. She was the “other families’ child” that all parents spoke of.

“Dad, you’ve had a long journey, have some tea,” Lu Xinnuan gently said as she passed the tea cup to Lu Zhizhai.

Lu Zhizhai was forty-eight, just two years older than his brother, but he looked much older because nothing was going right in his life. He carried a sense of perpetual gloominess between his brows.

His ill-fitting suit was ragged. He was rather cold when it came to familial relationship since his relationship with Fu Man was failing. But he was rather nice with Lu Xinnuan and praised her for being understanding.

At this time, the family of three gathered in the living room gave off a semblance of harmony.

“Dad, Mom, I’m happy that both of you can attend my pep rally. But I heard that the tenth grade welcoming ceremony is tomorrow as well…”

Fu Man and Lu Zhizhai paused confusedly.

“What about it?”

“Aren’t you heading over to Sister’s side?” Lu Xinnuan explained patiently.

It was quite rare for a pair of parents to attend both events, but the school was probably trying to increase efficiency.

Fu Man paused and said unwillingly, “Your sister didn’t tell us about this…”

Nuannuan was in twelfth grade, and it was a crucial time for her. As for Lu Mian, she was only in tenth grade, biding her time.
