"Father's place,"

Lu Linchuan flicked the ash from his cigarette, his eyes dark and deep.

"Didn't notice anything?"

There was a strange look in the depths of Wang Xin's eyes, but his expression remained normal.

"No, sir, he is busy with acquisitions recently."

All the acquisitions were minor branches of the Lu family. If we continue to arrange things layer by layer at this speed, when will we be able to climb to the top?

There was a flash of sarcasm in Lu Linchuan's eyes.

My father was suppressed by Lu Jingci and was too cautious.

"You are mine now, so you should know what to let your father know and what not to let him know."

Wang Xin's expression froze and he nodded solemnly, but his expression could not be seen clearly with his lowered eyes.

"My subordinate understands!"

Lu Linchuan looked satisfied.

"Go."

-

Jiang family.

"Sweet,"

Zhang Xinyun spoke gently as she looked at Jiang Tian, ​​who had recovered physically but not mentally.

"It's a nice day today, let's go out for a walk,"

She handed the card in her hand to Jiang Tian and said with a smile.

"Buy whatever you like, and mom will reimburse you."

Jiang Tian didn't take the card and looked at the ceiling dejectedly.

"Mom, I don't want to go."

Whenever she fell asleep these past few nights, she would dream of densely packed snakes and Luo Yang's cold eyes, and she couldn't sleep well at all.

"Tiantian——"

Zhang Xinyun wanted to say something when Jiang Peiwen walked in from outside.

She looked at her husband and frowned.

"Why did you come back suddenly?"

Jiang Tian glanced at Jiang Peiwen indifferently, then looked away and continued to look at the ceiling.

After what happened in recent times, she has finally seen through her father.

Jiang Peiwen seemed to be completely unaware of his wife and daughter's attitudes, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Pack up and follow me to the banquet."

Zhang Xinyun looked at the smile on Jiang Peiwen's face and had some guesses.

"What banquet?"

"The Zhu family hosted a banquet and invited all the new nobles in Kyoto. Our Jiang family also received an invitation."

Jiang Peiwen was obviously in a good mood.

"This is our chance. As long as we can cooperate with the Zhu family, our Jiang family can go further."

What the Lu family can give to the Jiang family is only nominal help.

But what the Zhu family can give is the most practical.

A hint of joy also appeared on Zhang Xinyun's gloomy face.

Although the Zhu family cannot compare with top families like the Lu He, Qi and Song families, it can still be considered a first-class family.

The fact that the Zhu family could send this invitation to the Jiang family shows that they have already stepped into the upper class society of Kyoto.

This was also the benefit they gained from going to the Lu family banquet and trying so hard to please Luo Yang.

She looked at Jiang Tian.

"Tiantian, did you hear that? Hurry up and get up and dress up nicely."

Zhu family?

Jiang Tian curled her lips.

"I'm not even qualified to attend the Lu family banquet. I won't go."

She can’t be as good as the people from the Lu family, but she can’t be too far behind, otherwise she will always be bullied by Luo Yang, right?

But in Kyoto, there is no family more powerful than the Lu family.

In other words, she will be suppressed by Luo Yang for the rest of her life.

Thinking of this, Jiang Tian's eyes became even darker.

Zhang Xinyun was reminded by Jiang Tian and also thought of this and looked at Jiang Peiwen.

"Peiwen, what's going on with the Zhu family?"

Jiang Peiwen had inquired about this in advance and knew a little about the fact that the heir of the Zhu family had offended the Lu family.

But the matter has been resolved, otherwise the Zhu family would not be in a hurry to be safe.

Besides, they invited the Jiang family when they were here, maybe it was also to please Lu Jingci.

But there is no need to tell these things to my wife and daughter.

"Something happened to the Zhu family, so I don't feel like attending the Lu family's banquet. It's nothing."

Zhang Xinyun still believed in Jiang Peiwen's ability to judge the situation. The doubt in her eyes dissipated and she turned to look at Jiang Tian.

"Tiantian——"

Jiang Tian directly pulled up the cup and covered his head with it.

"Stop it, I don't want to go!"

Zhang Xinyun sighed and was about to give up.

Jiang Peiwen's voice, which had obviously cooled down, sounded again, with an unhappy tone.

"You have to go even if you don't want to. The Zhu family specially wrote your mother's and your name on the invitation."

If I don't go, it would be a loss of face.

Furthermore, men have their own social circles, and women have their own.

We must seize the opportunity before us.

Jiang Tian buried herself in the quilt and did not move.

"Besides, you should also get to know more upstarts and think about your marriage."

When talking about marriage, Zhang Xinyu's eyes sparkled.

If she hadn't planned carefully at the beginning, she wouldn't have been able to marry into the Jiang family.

Jiang Tian suddenly pulled down the quilt and glared at Jiang Peiwen angrily.

"Even if I want to get married, I want to marry someone similar to the Lu family."

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent again.

Zhang Xinyun opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, her eyes were full of complexity.

"Marrying into a family similar to the Lu family?"

Jiang Peiwen looked at Jiang Tian, ​​his deep eyes revealing no expression.

"Tell me, which family in Kyoto is similar to the Lu family?"

Jiang Tian bit her lip.

"Even if there isn't one, at least it won't be too far off, like the Song family and the Qi family."

She is no worse than Luo Yang, so why should she marry someone who is inferior to her?

Zhang Xinyun also reacted at this time, with hope in her eyes.

"Song Sili from the Song family, Qi Jing and Qi Jian from the Qi family all don't have wives yet. Our Tiantian is so outstanding, it's not impossible for her to marry one of them."

If she married these men, Tiantian would only be envied and flattered in Kyoto, just like Luo Yang.

Thinking of Luo Yang, she couldn't help but grit her teeth.

It is good to have ideals, but if the ideals are too big, they are no different from delusions.

Jiang Peiwen pursed his lips and looked at his wife and daughter.

After a moment's silence, he slowly spoke.

"There is indeed an opportunity, but that was after our Jiang family became prosperous. What we need to do now is to seize every opportunity to climb up."

Jiang Tian understood what Jiang Peiwen meant and gritted her teeth.

"I understand. I'll go."

Zhang Xinyun breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as she is willing to go out, it will be fine. If she continues like this, she is afraid that Tiantian will have psychological problems.

All this was caused by that little bastard Luo Yang!

I don't know what she was thinking about, but there was a sinister flash in her eyes.

Jiang Peiwen glanced at the time.

"I'll wait for you downstairs."

At this time, the Zhu family.

Old Master Zhu looked at Zhu Cheng with an unfathomable look in his eyes.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"I don't understand what grandpa means,"

Zhu Cheng looked listless and indescribably gloomy.

"Besides, I can't even get out the door now, what else can I do."

His originally obese figure had become much thinner now.

But the appearance has not improved much.

Obviously, being fat or thin has nothing to do with beauty or ugliness.

Zhu Sheng was dissatisfied with Zhu Cheng's attitude, and was even more afraid that Mr. Zhu would get angry, so he frowned and spoke first.

"Your grandfather was talking about the Jiang family. The worst family invited to the banquet was a second-rate family. What kind of person is that Jiang family?"

"The Jiang family is a relative of Madam Lu. We are doing this to show our goodwill to the Lu family."

Zhu Cheng said what he had prepared long ago.

"Of course, there is another reason. I like the daughter of the Jiang family."

The daughter of the Jiang family?

Although Zhu Sheng did not attend the Lu family's banquet, he heard everything that happened clearly and his brows frowned instantly.

"That woman is not a calm person, you..."

Zhu Cheng interrupted Zhu Sheng, looked down at his lower body, and looked self-deprecating.

"Dad, do you think that I am still qualified to pick people in my current situation?"

Without waiting for Zhu Sheng to speak, he continued.

"I just took a fancy to it, just for fun."

When Zhu Sheng thought of Zhu Cheng's body, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

"If you want to play, go ahead. Just be careful since you are related to the Lu family."

If the Lu family wanted to support the Jiang family, they would have done so long ago, not until now.

In this case, there is no need for them to take the Jiang family seriously.

Zhu Cheng lowered his eyes, but they were filled with gloom.

"I know it well."

Old Master Zhu naturally saw whether Zhu Cheng had his eyes on the Jiang family or wanted to vent his anger at the Lu family on the Jiang family.

If it were before, he would definitely stop his grandson from making trouble.

but now.

A hint of sadness flashed in Mr. Zhu's eyes. He lowered his eyes and drank his tea without saying anything else.

-

The old house of the Lu family.

"Aunt Zhang, what are you doing?"

The woman standing in the kitchen trembled and froze in place.
