"No one in the Lu family is in power now, waiting for you to take charge of the overall situation."
"You are the only direct heir. The Lu family's three hundred years of inheritance cannot be destroyed in one day!"
In Jiangnan City, in the jade shop on Liuli Street, a luxuriously dressed old man bent over and said respectfully to the slightly shabby Lu Yu.
This scene made everyone in the store stunned.
Lu Yu looked indifferent and ignored the old man, lowering his head to select the jade.
For the Ji family's corporate celebration, the gifts chosen should not be too casual. Lu Yu thought for a moment and finally picked up a jade sculpture worth 1,999 yuan and handed it to the shop owner.
Seeing this, the old man in Tang suit sighed in his heart. This cheap gift that Master Yu chose would probably be laughed at by the Ji family. He winked at the shopkeeper, who nodded knowingly, turned around, and quietly changed it.
A jade carving.
Lu Yu didn't pay attention to this. He turned his back to the old man and said indifferently: "If the Lu family is going to be destroyed, what does it have to do with me?"
"I have never liked fighting since I was a child. I don't care about status or family resources. My brother has a domineering personality, but they say he has the air of a king, but in fact they just want to flatter him and kill him in order to become the head of the family."
"So, they thought I was a threat, so they alienated my brother and me, and even joined forces to drive me out of the Demon City. I am the first direct descendant of the Lu family to be expelled from the family in three hundred years."
"Now that my brother has died of illness and the Lu family is in trouble, they are trying to get me to go back? Do they think I, Lu Yu, am a dog?"
"Go away and don't bother me again. I'm just the Ji family's son-in-law, not some young master Yu."
After Lu Yu finished speaking, the shopkeeper presented the packaged jade carving. Lu Yu picked up the gift box and left without looking back. The old man straightened up, looked at Lu Yu's stubborn back, and sighed helplessly.
"Boss, the jade carving has been replaced by yours." The shop owner said as if he was taking credit.
The old man nodded and said to himself, "Master Yu, don't blame me for exposing your identity. The Ji family is not worthy of this."
The Ji family is quite famous in Jiangnan City.
Lu Yu came here three years ago and was taken in by Mr. Ji, who received the kindness of the Ji family.
Later, Mr. Ji even married off the daughter of the Ji family to him, which shocked the entire Jiangnan City and created today's abandoned son-in-law, Lu Yu.
Although Ji Ningxue, the daughter of the Ji family, is a sideline, she is deeply loved by Mr. Ji, and her appearance is stunning. She is considered a goddess in Jiangnan City, and there are countless young talents pursuing her.
But she married the good-for-nothing Lu Yu, which made many people laugh out loud.
Only Mr. Ji knew Lu Yu's true identity, but one month after Lu Yu's wedding, Mr. Ji died of a sudden illness, bringing this secret with him.
From then on, Lu Yu really became a useless son-in-law.
He initially stayed in the Ji family out of gratitude for his kindness, but he didn't expect that within three years, he would really fall in love with Ji Ningxue.
For three years, Lu Yu washed and cooked for Ji Ningxue, took care of the housework, and took her to and from get off work, no matter what. At the same time, he also experienced countless cold looks and ridicule. He was regarded as a joke by the entire Jiangnan City and was regarded as a great shame and humiliation by Ji's family.
Lu Yu also recognized that any kind of life will become a habit after a long time.
As for what happened just now, Lu Yu had no worries in his heart.
Going back to the Lu family is not that simple. Those who drove him out of the house in the first place wanted him to die. The Lu family was a den full of intrigues, but Lu Yu didn't want to fight.
Returning to Ji's house, Lu Yu saw Ji Ningxue standing at the door, looking a little anxious. He trotted forward and said, "Ningxue, I'm back."
"Did you buy the things I asked you to buy?" Ji Ningxue asked indifferently.
"I've bought it." Lu Yu nodded and raised the gift box in his hand. But Ji Ningxue wasn't even interested in taking a look at it. She didn't expect anything amazing from Lu Yu.
She really couldn't understand why her grandfather had to let her marry such a useless man.
Before his death, grandpa held her hand and said that Lu Yu must not be underestimated. The Jiangnan Ji family would flourish in Lu Yu's hands.
Ji Ningxue was shocked at that time because her grandfather would never lie to her. Did Lu Yu have some mysterious identity?
But three years later, she didn't see any hope in Lu Yu.
"Then let's go quickly. It's getting late and my parents have already passed by."
"All direct and collateral members of the Ji family will be present, as well as some prominent figures from Jiangnan. You must not talk nonsense." Ji Ningxue said coldly.
Lu Yu looked unconcerned and just nodded slightly.
Seeing his expression, Ji Ningxue didn't want to say another word to him.
The two of them arrived at the Jijia Enterprise Company Building. There were many people in front of the company building and it was very lively.
In the side hall, many relatives of the Ji family had already arrived. Ji Ningxue greeted them with a smile, while Lu Yu followed Ji Ningxue quietly without saying anything.
However, even so, there were still people who did not intend to let him go.
Ji Ningxue's cousin Ji Hongyu, every time he saw Lu Yu, he would make things difficult, belittling Lu Yu like a clown, just to make everyone laugh. Who makes Lu Yu so useless that the entire Ji family
Shamed.
"Lu Yu, you're here too? Haha, what's that thing in your hand?" Ji Hongyu said jokingly. The rest of the Ji family also had a playful look on their faces. Looking at the ordinary gift box, they knew what Lu Yu was holding.
Things are worthless.
"Congratulations." Lu Yu replied briefly.
Ji Hongyu smiled disdainfully: "Congratulations gift? You didn't buy it at a street stall, right?"
"No, I bought it at the jade shop." Lu Yu answered truthfully.
"Haha, you don't think you can give away any piece of jade. How much did it cost? Show it to everyone. If it costs several thousand yuan, it won't be on this stage."
Ji Ningxue's eyebrows wrinkled slightly. She didn't know what Lu Yu bought, but Ji Hongyu was obviously deliberately making things difficult.
"No matter what you buy, it is all Lu Yu's heart. Isn't this measured by money?"
Lu Yu glanced at her, a little surprised. He didn't expect that Ji Ningxue would speak for him.
"Humph, what you said is wrong. Our Ji family is also a big family in Jiangnan. On such an important occasion today, if you let this loser give you something that is not worthy of mention, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the Ji family's reputation?"
"You...Ji Hongyu, don't go too far!" Ji Ningxue's face turned slightly red with anger, and her chest heaved violently.
"What's the fuss about?!" At this time, a deep voice sounded. When everyone saw it, it was Ji Leshan, the current chairman of Jijia Industry, Ji Hongyu's father.
"The company celebration is about to begin, come out with me." Ji Leshan dropped these words and turned around and walked towards the hall. Ji Hongyu glanced at Lu Yu, snorted coldly, and followed his father. When the others saw this,
Also followed one after another.
After the celebration began, all the forces in Jiangnan City, large and small, sent congratulatory gifts.
"The Sun family in Jiangnan would like to present Wang Xizhi's authentic calligraphy and painting to wish the Ji family's business prosperity!"
"Jiangnan Hongfa Company will give you a jade abacus to wish the Ji family good luck!"
"Jiangnan City Wangjia Group..."
Ji Leshan's face flushed and he smiled from ear to ear.
"The last one, please ask the Ji Yushu family, a member of the Ji family, to send you a congratulatory gift!"
Lu Yu walked forward slowly with the gift box in hand. The Ji family and representatives of Jiangnan City's big and small forces all laughed.
Ji Hongyu even had a sinister smile on his face. It was naturally his arrangement to let Lu Yu be the last one to give the gift. He just wanted everyone to watch this good-for-nothing make a fool of himself.
Amidst the laughter of everyone, Ji Ningxue clenched her fists nervously and stared at the gift box in Lu Yu's hand.
Ji Ningxue's parents, Ji Yushu and Tang Qiuyun, turned their heads away in embarrassment and didn't want to look, but couldn't help but peek out of the corner of their eyes.
Lu Yu placed the packaging box on the table and then opened it gently.
Unexpectedly, everyone's laughter stopped abruptly, and the sound of a needle dropping could be heard in the hall.
