chapter 2
Jiang Lan trembled slightly when she saw this. She thought he was angry and quickly made sign language: Is the porridge not to your liking?
Lu Jingchi tugged at the collar of his shirt, a little impatiently, "No, hurry up and eat."
He didn't eat, and neither did Jiang Lan. She stood up and started clearing away the dishes.
Lu Jingchi looked at her coldly and said nothing.
When she finished packing and came out, she went upstairs to change clothes. Lu Jingchi was already waiting for her in the car.
As the car drove on the road, the scenery on both sides quickly receded. Jiang Lan turned his head and looked at the passing scenery outside.
Jiang Lan came to the Lu family when she was very young, and it was the old man who took her back. The old man loved her very much and regarded her as his granddaughter.
Before the old man was alive, he always talked about not worrying about Jiang Lan.
Three years ago, the old man was about to die. On his deathbed, he forced Lu Jingchi to marry her before he could finally close his eyes with peace of mind.
The old man said that in her situation, he would not worry about marrying anyone else. Only by marrying Lu Jingchi could he rest in peace.
At that time, Lu Jingchi had a girlfriend.
It's Xia Yan.
Perhaps because of the relationship he had grown up with, or perhaps because of the promise he made to his old man, Lu Jingchi was forced to marry her, but he did not give her a cold look or deliberately make things difficult for her.
But that's just it, he doesn't love her.
He would never call her Lanlan gently again.
They became the most familiar strangers.
The Lu family is very lively today because Lu Jingchi's sister gave birth to a son and is celebrating her 100th birthday today.
Jiang Lan followed Lu Jingchi through the crowded vestibule and arrived at the main hall.
In the main hall, Mrs. Lu was holding her nephew and teasing her, smiling happily, but after catching a glimpse of Jiang Lan, her face immediately sank.
Jiang Lan greeted her, but she seemed not to notice and kept talking to her daughter.
"They say that my nephew is like my uncle. Don't tell me, this little guy looks like the same mold as Jingchi when he was a child."
Lu Wanrou touched the baby's cheek and smiled, "You all say he looks like his eldest brother, but I don't see it at all."
Mrs. Lu squeezed the child's little hand and shook it, smiling kindly, "Of course you can't tell. You were not even born when Chi Xiang was this big."
Jiang Lan was not annoyed at being ignored, she just stood aside quietly.
"Mom." Lu Jingchi called her.
Mrs. Lu then turned around and responded calmly, "Here you come? What are you standing for? Sit down."
Lu Wanrou glanced at Jiang Lan. As soon as Lu Jingchi sat down, she suddenly said, "Brother, you have to hurry up. When will you have another child?"
Before Lu Jingchi could speak, Mrs. Lu snorted coldly: "Don't encourage him. It's embarrassing enough to have a mute in the family. If there is another little mute, will our Lu family have to see anyone again?"
Hearing this, Lu Jingchi glanced at Jiang Lan, who had her head lowered and could not clearly see the emotions on her face.
Lu Wanrou naturally had bad intentions when she mentioned the child at this moment.
Who doesn't know that Jiang Lan was pregnant with a child last year, and Mrs. Lu was afraid that she would give birth to a mute child, so she forced her to get an abortion.
After Lu Jingchi found out, he didn't say anything. As a result, Jiang Lan, who had no sense of existence in the first place, lost even more status in the Lu family.
If that child is born, he will be almost half a year old by this time.
Except for the old man, no one in the Lu family likes Jiang Lan.
Lu Wanrou hated her, even more than Mrs. Lu, since she was very young.
Jiang Lan entered the Lu family when she was five years old. Lu Wanrou bullied Jiang Lan because she couldn't speak. She locked Jiang Lan in the storage room and burned her hair with a lighter. Once, she pushed her downstairs and Lu Jingchi saw her.
Lu Jingchi scolded Lu Wanrou. She already hated her grandfather for favoring Jiang Lan. Even her eldest brother who loved her scolded her for being dumb. How could she not hate it?
At that time, Jiang Lan didn't know sign language, couldn't write, let alone complain. Later, Lu Wanrou bullied her even more boldly, taking out her anger on her whenever she was unhappy at all.
Now that they have grown up, Lu Wanrou will no longer use such low-level methods. Her usual tactic now is to kill people and kill people.
"Muteness is a recessive inheritance. As long as you get regular check-ups, there is not that much chance of inheriting it," Lu Wanrou said.
Mrs. Lu pinched her temples and said with a headache, "Okay, why are you talking about this? I am doing it for Jiang Lan's benefit. If there is a problem with the child, won't she be the one who suffers? Jingchi, do you think she is a
