"These are home-cooked dishes, eat more if you like them." Lu Yu smiled softly and greeted everyone.
"Wow, I feel like before again. It's so delicious." Ji Yuman kept sighing while eating.
"Didn't you dislike Lu Yu's cooking before?" Ji Ningxue asked softly.
"Sister, why don't you open the pot and pick up the pot? I just said it wasn't delicious, but in fact I put on weight when I was at home!"
"When I was studying abroad, I actually thought about my brother-in-law's cooking every day." Ji Yuman said seriously.
"Pfft!" Ji Ningxue burst into laughter, and Ji Yuman finally told the truth.
When Lu Yu was at Ji's house, Ji Yuman was extremely disgusted with Lu Yu's cooking skills.
"Whoa!"
Ji Yuman picked up another piece of braised eggplant, and at this moment, her movements suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yu took a mouthful of rice and said, "I don't put much sugar in it, so I won't gain weight. Just eat it."
"No..." Ji Yuman gently put the piece of golden and translucent braised eggplant into the bowl, with a complicated expression on her face.
"Yu Man, what's wrong with you?" Ji Ningxue asked with concern.
"No, I just thought of my mother. She likes this dish cooked by her brother-in-law the most..." Ji Yuman said softly.
When Lu Yu heard Ji Yuman's words, he paused, but did not answer, and just ate quietly.
When Tang Qiuyun was mentioned, the atmosphere at the dinner table changed a lot in an instant.
Lu Yu sighed inwardly, he really didn't want to affect everyone's mood because of Tang Qiuyun.
However, it was impossible for him to change Ji Yuman's mind.
After all, she is her biological mother.
"No wonder in the past, whenever Lu Yu made braised eggplant, my mother would secretly hide at the door and peek..."
"Sometimes I find out, but I still don't want to admit it..." Ji Ningxue also suddenly remembered this matter.
Lu Yu was stunned and asked: "Is there such a thing?"
"Yes, but she doesn't want to admit it. In fact, she can also cook, but it's not as delicious as yours." Ji Yuman added on the side.
Ji Ningxue gently put down her chopsticks and said: "Delicious or not, she has been cooking for twenty years and raised us..."
When Lu Yu heard this, he felt even more confused and had to lower his head to eat.
And, I feel a little happy in my heart.
Fortunately, I didn't really kill Tang Qiuyun at the beginning.
Otherwise, even if Ji Ningxue and Ji Yuman would not complain about themselves, they would still be left with pain in their hearts forever.
After all, he is the person who has raised them for twenty years.
No matter who it is, it is impossible to ignore it.
When Lu Yu was doing certain things, he couldn't just care about his rationality, he also had to take care of Ji Ningxue's mood.
Even if Lu Yu had a thousand and ten thousand reasons to kill Tang Qiuyun, even if it was right for him to do so.
However, it must be very uncomfortable for Ji Ningxue to face a person who killed her adoptive mother and have to live with him all day long.
The more Lu Yu thought about it, the more he felt that his original decision was not wrong.
As for Ji Leshan and the others, they deserved to die and were not worth mentioning.
"Mom, it seems her birthday is coming soon..." Ji Yuman said again.
"Yeah, but she rarely has birthdays. She only buys us gifts when it's our birthdays."
"She always said that if you forget your birthday, you can also forget the pain." Ji Ningxue nodded lightly.
"This matter will be taken care of when I come back from Min City."
"Now, let's eat first." Lu Yu was silent for two seconds, and then said softly.
Seeing Lu Yu speak, everyone stopped talking and ate in silence.
They really didn't dare to say too much for fear of making Lu Yu unhappy.
After the meal, Lu Zihan, Ji Yuman, and Chen Yunping went to wash the dishes together.
Lu Yu and Ji Ningxue returned to the room to talk.
"Lu Yu...I want...to take mom over and live..."
"She is indeed a little lonely by herself."
"Even if she doesn't come here, it's okay to let her return to the Dijing Oriental Villa." As expected, Ji Ningxue directly put forward her idea.
But Lu Yu was still a little hesitant.
It was really because the things Tang Qiuyun did back then were too unforgettable for Lu Yu.
"The things she did before were mostly aimed at you. Don't you resent her?" Lu Yu asked softly.
"In the past, I did resent her a little. After all, it was really incomprehensible that she would treat her own daughter like this."
"But now that I know my life experience, I feel that she has been very good to me."
"Because she had no obligation to raise me, but she still raised me for twenty years, so I have no right to blame her."
"If she didn't love and protect me, I wouldn't have grown up like this."
"She does love Yuman more, but I can understand it. After all, Yuman is her biological flesh and blood. Blood is thicker than water."
"But she didn't let me starve or freeze. She also supported me in going to college." Ji Ningxue said from the bottom of her heart.
For Ji Ningxue, although Tang Qiuyun did not have any affection for her, he had the kindness to raise her.
Ji Ningxue dare not forget this great kindness.
Lu Yu didn't speak when he heard this, thinking about these things in his mind.
In order to make Ji Ningxue happy, he felt that everything he did was worth it.
But when it came to Tang Qiuyun, he was a little hesitant.
"I'll think about it," Lu Yu said softly.
"Okay!" Ji Ningxue nodded heavily, and then asked: "Are you leaving tomorrow?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, we will set off tomorrow." Lu Yu said meaningfully with a playful smile.
Ji Ningxue wanted to laugh, but she didn't ask any more questions.
Soon, Lu Yu received a call from Liu Wanguan.
"Master Yu, it's already seven o'clock, are you coming over now?" Liu Wanguan opened his mouth and asked when the call was connected.
"Don't worry, let the captain of the Yuxuan warrior team go to the outskirts to assemble first."
"If they don't have a good impact in the downtown area, let them go to the suburbs." Lu Yu said calmly.
"I'm already making arrangements over there, but you'd better come over now. Wang Ruida seems to have something to say to you." Liu Wanguan said again.
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Okay! I'll be there right away."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yu just turned around and Ji Ningxue had already brought the clothes over.
"Be careful on the road." Ji Ningxue's eyes were full of warmth.
"Don't worry." Lu Yu kissed the side of Ji Ningxue's face, then took the clothes and left.
…
Yuxue Real Estate.
Liu Wanguan and others have all arrived.
Long Zhiye, the members of the Diyu Alliance, and Lu Kaicheng and others were all waiting in full formation.
Lu Yu met Wang Ruida and went to the room to talk alone.
Lu Yu could feel that something was wrong with Wang Ruida's expression.
It seemed like he had something to tell himself.
"Mr. Wang, if you need anything, just ask." Lu Yu handed Wang Ruida a cigarette.
