The Lu family's old house is a Western-style building with obvious retro European style. It can be regarded as a very popular landmark building in the city center of Beicheng where land is at a premium.

This is Grandpa Lu Yan's mansion, but Lu Yan has never set foot here because her father and grandpa have severed the relationship between father and son.

Lu Yan's grandfather, named Lu Jian, was the chairman of the Lu Group. At the turn of the century, he created a generation of land merchants for the Lu Group.

In Lu Yan's impression, her grandfather Lu Jian was a very dignified man, unsmiling and solemn.

Ever since his daughter, Lu Yan's little aunt, went missing, it was hard to smile on his face.

Later, he severed the father-son relationship with his son Lu Zhen, became depressed and fell ill, and passed away prematurely.

At the door of the mansion, Lu Zhen parked his motorcycle, took off Lu Yan's hood, and asked, "Do you remember our dad?"

"I remember, grandpa was very cruel and never ignored me before."

Lu Zhen rubbed her head helplessly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "It's dad, not grandpa."

"Well."

He led Lu Yan toward the mansion. Lu Yan was a little nervous and naturally held Lu Zhen's hand.

Lu Zhen now regarded her as his little sister, and pressed her lovingly, indicating not to be afraid.

The interior decoration of the mansion is in a creamy white European style, which is also related to the fact that my grandfather Lu Jian studied and lived in Europe in his early years.

Let alone more than 20 years ago, even in Lu Yan's era, such magnificent home decoration was rare.

"Lu Zhen, why are you back?"

A charming and soft voice came from the stairs.

The speaker is Shi Xuexian, Grandpa Lu Jian's second wife. She is well-maintained, but she looks like a little girl in her twenties despite being in her thirties. Her skin is whiter than snow, and she has more mature and charming charm than the little girl.

.

For middle-aged men, women like her are extremely attractive.

Lu Yan looked at Shi Xuexian and wondered what she should call her, stepgrandma?

Lu Yan knew that the relationship between her father, Lu Zhen, and her grandfather, Lu Jian, had always been very bad, and this was also due to her step-grandmother Shi Xuexian.

So after Lu Jian passed away, the huge Lu Group fell into Shi Xuexian's pocket, and not a penny was left to Lu Zhen.

One can imagine how powerful this woman is.

"This is my home, I can't come back?" Lu Zhen's face darkened slightly, and his voice became eight degrees colder.

Shi Xuexian smiled brightly and said: "You are the eldest young master. You can come back when you want and leave when you want. Even though I am the mother, I can't control you after all."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Shi Xuexian's tone. Lu Zhen was a man, so naturally he didn't bother to argue with her, but Lu Yan couldn't stand the stepmother talking to her father like this.

"My mother is the official eldest daughter of the Meng Group. What kind of mother do you think you are, Lu Zhen? Don't praise yourself too much."

As soon as these words came out, Shi Xuexian's expression changed suddenly, but she still behaved like a matron and said to Lu Zhen with a straight face: "Bring your girlfriend home and let your father know, you will not get a good result.

"

Lu Zhen is now more certain that Lu Yan must be his biological sister, otherwise how would she know that her mother is the eldest lady of the Meng Group.

It's just that after not seeing each other for many years, this silly little girl has actually become sharper and more articulate, and is no longer the coward who was always bullied before.

He pulled Lu Yan to his side and said, "Look clearly, she is my sister, my father's biological daughter, Xiao Yan."

Shi Xuexian had a suspicious look on her face and looked at Lu Yan carefully. Indeed, it looked like she really looked like him, but... how could it be possible?

Isn't she already...

Shi Xuexian shook her head and said to Lu Zhen: "I just found a wild girl on the street who looks a bit similar. It would be too ridiculous to say that she is the eldest lady of the Lu family."

"Whether she is a Miss of the Lu family or not, we will naturally make a conclusion when Old Man Lu comes back."

"Your dad is going to an important meeting tonight and won't be back."

Shi Xuexian hugged her elbows and said coldly: "He has not been in good health recently. I advise you not to make him angry anymore and send this girl away quickly. You really think that just anyone can pretend to be a young lady."

Lu Zhen pulled Lu Yan behind him and took out his cell phone: "I'm going to call Old Man Lu right now and tell him that my sister has been found."

Shi Xuexian suddenly snatched Lu Zhen's cell phone, and her face suddenly turned ugly: "Your father's meeting tonight is very important. I advise you not to disturb him."

Lu Zhen suddenly sneered: "I know. Some time ago, Mr. Lu said that he was going to discuss a project with your brother, but it won't be just tonight. Your brother is such a small and broken company, and he has also been exposed to tax fraud.

Are you qualified to cooperate with our Lu Group due to the tax scandal?"

Shi Xuexian's face was tense, and sparks almost appeared in her eyes, but she still controlled her emotions and said: "This is your father's decision, you have no right to interfere."

Lu Yan had heard about this powerful step-grandmother in the Lu family before. Relatives in the family said that it was the step-grandmother who gave her grandfather a bad taste and subtly drove a wedge between the father and son. This was the reason why the father and son later turned against each other and the grandfather lost a penny of his inheritance.

None of it was left to dad.

It's better to meet than to be famous. Today, Lu Yan finally got to see this step-grandmother's aura.

It's just that Lu Yan doesn't understand why Shi Xuexian wants to drive her away so hard. If it were another family member who saw a girl who looked so similar to the missing little aunt, they would definitely want to get to the bottom of it.

How could she conclude that Lu Yan was definitely not her aunt?

At this moment, the door to the second floor opened, and a girl came out with a walkman. She frowned and said, "Mom, it's so noisy that I can't concentrate on reviewing English."

Lu Yan looked back at the girl. She was wearing a pink robe-sleeved top, a light-colored gauze skirt, and a bow tied with a soft string around her waist. She was dressed like a little princess.

Lu Yan still has an impression of her. She is the child brought by her stepmother Shi Xuexian, named Shi Ya.

Shi Ya was not a child of the Lu family, but she continued to live in the Lu family and called Lu Jian uncle.

Lu Yan was also told by a gossiping relative at home when she was young. After hearing this, Shi Xuexian always wanted Shi Ya to change her name to Lu and call Lu Jian her father, but Lu Jian did not recognize her.

Shi Ya took a look at Lu Yan. Her long eyelashes were curled and raised, and her lips were as red as beads. Because of her pair of scorching peach blossom eyes that were exactly the same as Lu Zhen's, her entire facial features came alive, and she was so beautiful that it made her heart tremble.

Shi Ya's face changed slightly and she asked her mother defensively: "Mom, who is she?"

Shi Xuexian said: "Your brother brought her back from outside, and he insisted on saying it was Miss Lu who was lost back then."

When Shi Ya heard that the mentally retarded daughter was back, she instinctively became hostile to Lu Yan, and her expression suddenly changed: "Mom, is it true?"

Shi Xuexian said coldly: "It's impossible for her to come back, it's not her."

Shi Ya felt a little relieved.

Lu Zhen ignored Shi Xuexian at all. He sent a text message to his father, Lu Jian, briefly explaining the situation, and then arranged for the servants to arrange a room for Lu Yan to sleep in tonight.

Although Shi Xuexian is a stepmother, she is still the matron of the family. She immediately said: "No, you can't leave this little girl of unknown origin at home overnight until the matter is figured out."

"Why not."

"Your dad has collected a lot of priceless antique porcelain. What if he loses it?"

Lu Yan took a look at Shi Xuexian. She was very beautiful. She was indeed a few years younger than Lu Zhen's mother, but in terms of mind and vision, she was far behind Miss Meng who came from a wealthy family.

Shi Xuexian looked like a small bourgeoisie in every gesture. No wonder Lu Jian rarely brought her to formal occasions.

She can't get on the stage.

Lu Zhen said: "If you lose it, I will pay for it."

"You compensate? Your money is not the Lu family's money!"

Lu Zhen suddenly laughed: "After all, it's my Lu family's money, why are you so worried about it?"

Shi Xuexian was choked by him, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.

Shi Ya carried her wide skirt downstairs and walked up to Lu Yan. She stared at her again and again, and then looked at Lu Zhen. Needless to say, the two of them were carved from the same mold.

She was a little worried because she didn't like the mentally retarded sister before. After all, there were two daughters in a family, and the biological one must be the most favored.

Finally, in the past two years, Lu Jian's stepfather had become a little concerned about her. She didn't want her biological daughter to come back and steal her favor.

Shi Ya pulled her mother's clothes and said eagerly: "Mom, you can't let her stay."

Shi Xuexian patted the back of her daughter's hand to express her reassurance, then walked to the sofa and sat down, pretending to be a family member, and tried to persuade Lu Zhen with good words -

"Xiaozhen, are you 100% sure that she is your lost sister Lu Yan?"

Lu Zhen is not 100% sure, but he is still 70% certain.

"In the past two years, your father has finally recovered from the grief of losing his daughter. Now you have brought such an unidentified girl home to give your father hope. If the paternity test proves that she is not, do you think your father can

Can you withstand such a blow?"

Lu Zhen's face showed a bit of embarrassment.

Indeed, Lu Yan had heard from her family members before that Lu Jian loved his little daughter so much that she was afraid of melting it even if she held it in her mouth. If she asked for the moon in the sky, Lu Jian would pick it off for her.

After her daughter was abducted, Lu Jian sent people to search everywhere, and she had no sleep every night. The hair on her temples had turned white in the past two years.

Seeing that Lu Zhen was wavering, Shi Xuexian struck while the iron was hot and said, "It's better to send this girl back. Her parents will be worried if it's so late."

Lu Yan squeezed Lu Zhen's hand and said quickly: "This is my home, where do you want to send me?"

Shi Xuexian's face turned cold: "Girl, do you want to be a rogue when you consider that our Lu family's door is so easy to enter?"

Lu Yan was really pissed off by this stepmother. When her little aunt went missing, there were a lot of rumors in the family that it might be related to this stepmother. At that time, Lu Yan was still a fool and didn't believe there were such vicious people in the world.

Now seeing Shi Xuexian's appearance, she started to believe it.

"I'm not leaving anyway." Lu Yan squeezed Lu Zhen's hand and begged in a low voice: "Don't let me go."

Shi Xuexian stood up and said sternly: "If you don't leave, I will ask someone to kick you out."

At this moment, the sound of a car was heard outside the door, and a bright car light swept in through the glass window, shining right on Lu Yan's face.

Lu Yan instinctively shielded her eyes with her hands and saw a middle-aged man hurriedly getting out of the Mercedes-Benz under the high beam.
