Reborn 1960: Using space to tease the officers

Chapter 407 Why didn’t you come?

"Uncle and aunt are right. I am a woman of unknown origin, and I am not worthy of you at all. You are the eldest young master of the Lu family. You should shoulder your own responsibilities in the Lu family, instead of being so willful with me. Stop it!"

Zhao Ling had tears in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them flow down.

Her look made Lu Yan very distressed. He was about to blurt out that he wanted to marry Zhao Ling in the next second, but Zhao Ling grabbed his arm first.

"Think about it before answering."

Zhao Ling shook her head gently at Lu Yan.

Tell him not to talk nonsense. How could Lu Yan not know what Zhao Ling meant?

Lu Yan had no choice but to follow Zhao Ling's wishes.

"Mom and Dad, this is my fault. I shouldn't have acted so willfully. Zhao Ling and I are just good friends. Let's just pretend that what happened today never happened. Today is a good day for the second brother and Manli. Since They are already here, let’s start the party, don’t miss the time!”

Lu Yan had a good attitude in admitting his mistake. Bai Yufang was very happy and cried with joy.

She stepped forward and hugged Lu Yan.

"You naughty kid, are you really worried about your mother? You can't talk nonsense like this next time."

While speaking, Bai Yufang's eyes were looking at Zhao Ling, with disgust in her eyes.

Zhao Ling turned a blind eye to this.

She has developed a strong heart, and such eyes are of no use to her at all.

Lu Chenshi also nodded with satisfaction, feeling that Lu Yan had really grown up.

"Lu Yan, since you have said so, then let's do as you say. I just hope you won't speak without thinking again in the future, otherwise my words today will always count!"

Lu Chenshi was not used to Lu Yan.

Then, as a parent, he explained to his relatives and friends.

"I'm sorry, Quanzi Wuzhou, what I just said doesn't count. Today is just the engagement ceremony of my second son Lu Heng and Bai Manli, and it officially begins now!"

Lu Heng and Bai Manli walked slowly downstairs.

With a shy look on her face, Bai Manli held up her skirt and pulled Lu Heng's arm with one hand. This time, Lu Heng did not pull his hand away.

Although he was expressionless throughout the whole process, the two of them made everyone feel like they were a perfect match when they walked together.

Everyone came forward to say blessings or toast to the two of them.

Lu Heng also accepted them one by one.

After three drinks, Lu Heng still didn't make any move when the engagement ceremony was already halfway through.

Jiang Yue could hardly sit still. What was going on?

Why is there still no movement?

She took the wine on the table and drank one glass after another, as if drinking cold drinks.

Ye Lin tried to stop it several times, but failed.

I could only watch her drink.

Although he and Lu Heng grew up together, Lu Heng's actions today really made him feel overwhelmed and had no thoughts at all.

What is he going to do?

Time passed little by little, and Bai Manli felt a little tired, so she wanted to sit on the sofa and take a rest.

But Lu Heng held her back and didn't want her to go.

"Isn't today your engagement ceremony? Why didn't your parents come? I still wanted to meet them. Where are they?"

Bai Manli's originally relaxed expression suddenly became tense, and she withdrew Lu Heng's hand from hers.

"The two of them have something to do today, so they can't come. Isn't it okay if I can come? It doesn't have much to do with them!"

Bai Manli said softly.

But how could Lu Heng be fooled by her so easily?

"Really? No, what kind of things could be as important as my daughter's engagement party? Is it possible that you are not satisfied with me as your son-in-law? If so, wouldn't I have to pay a visit? "

Lu Heng became more serious as he spoke, but Bai Manli was scared to death.

She quickly waved her hand.

"No, no, no need to go to such trouble. I can do it by myself. They do have something to do, and today is just an engagement party, not a wedding. They will definitely come when the wedding takes place!"

Bai Manli's face was pale and she looked like a little white flower.

Lu Heng smiled.

"That's it. If that's the case, then let's go talk to your parents, otherwise they will think that your parents don't pay attention to this engagement party!"

Bai Manli couldn't express her pain, and she didn't want to go, but Lu Heng held her hand tightly, half-hugging and half-pulling her in the direction of Lu Chenshi and Bai Yufang.

At this time, Bai Yufang and Lu Luchenshi were greeting the guests, but they did not notice them coming towards this direction.

Lu Heng and Bai Manli stood aside, waiting for them to entertain the people before pulling them to a deserted place.

"Dad, today is the engagement party for Manli and I. Why didn't my father-in-law and mother-in-law come? Could it be that they don't like our family and are not satisfied with this marriage?"

Lu Heng had a straight face, and it could be seen that he was a little angry at this time.

Only then did Lu Chenshi realize that his in-laws, in-laws, and mother-in-law didn’t come over today!

What does it mean?

He looked at Bai Yufang beside him and looked at her questioningly.

Bai Yufang lowered her head and avoided her eyes.

"My brother and sister-in-law have something to do today, so they can't come over. I'm Manli's aunt, and I'm considered her parent, so I'm participating on their behalf. Is there any problem?"

Lu Heng chuckled, Bai Yufang really knew how to talk.

Lu Chenshi also felt that there was nothing wrong with what Bai Yufang said. The two families usually didn't go far apart. Everyone knew the details and wouldn't come if they didn't come.

"Lu Heng, since they have something to do, we shouldn't criticize them too harshly. Manli can just come. Today is the engagement party for the two of you. It doesn't matter whether they come or not!"

Lu Chenshi just wanted to put things to rest and go to today's engagement party first. As long as it was over, everything would be settled.

But Lu Heng didn't want to simply let them go.

"Is it because something happened that they couldn't come, or are they unable to come at all?"

Lu Heng looked at Bai Yufang and Bai Manli with a half-smile.

There is a look of insight in his eyes.

Bai Manli became more and more nervous. His hands held the hem of his clothes, stirring them randomly.

She looked at Bai Yufang for help, and Bai Yufang gave her a calm look.

"Xiao Heng, what do you mean? What do you mean they can't come? They really have something to do and can't come. Just because they can't come, don't you want to get engaged?"

Lu Chenshi also felt that Lu Heng was a little strange.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush!"

Lu Heng looked like he was sure of victory.

"Okay, dad, since you asked me to tell you, I will tell you, Bai Manli, she is not actually Aunt Bai's brother's child!"
