Chapter 871: Chapter 864: As Long as Grandma Is Here

High-quality tea and snacks were placed on the coffee table. Qiu Zi’s father, Qiu Renhe, was a tea enthusiast himself, and at this moment, tasting the good tea made him instantly excited, reducing his previous restraint and discomfort.

"That...bro...brother-in-law..." Qiu Renhe struggled for a long time before he managed to say the words brother-in-law, and after saying it, he felt completely refreshed. It seemed like something impressive to call a man older and of higher status than himself brother-in-law, "Brother-in-law, this tea is really good! It’s authentic Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao, right?"

Leng Liewei felt immensely awkward hearing Qiu Renhe call him brother-in-law, realizing that marrying someone much younger occasionally came at a cost, like being taken advantage of in terms of titles.

"Yes, it is." However, Leng Liewei cared about Luna, so he was willing to lower himself for Luna’s family.

"Oh, the fragrance~ so fragrant~" Qiu Renhe couldn’t stop praising the tea.

"All you know is drinking tea! Have you handled Qiu Zi’s matter?" Lu Qian pushed Qiu Renhe unhappily.

Qiu Renhe expressed dissatisfaction with his wife’s roughness, "Why wouldn’t I handle it? Didn’t I just come here with you?"

"You came, but why isn’t Qiu Zi back yet? Xiao Na, did you really call that child?" Lu Qian asked.

"I did." Luna nodded.

Lu Zitong said charmingly, "Grandma, do you think Little Zi ran away again knowing we were coming?"

Upon hearing this, the old lady immediately widened her eyes, "If she dares run away, our Lu Family will sever ties with her! The audacity!"

"Exactly, she’s always so stubborn!" Lu Zitong added fuel to the fire without minding the seriousness.

"Lu Zitong, say less!" Luna disliked Lu Zitong’s attitude, similar to her parents, always eager to step on others.

"Am I wrong? Qiu Zi is just like that!" Lu Zitong retorted unwillingly.

"Say one more word, and get out!" Luna also got furious; she was not much older than Qiu Zi and had always been protective of this niece.

"Why should I leave!" Lu Zitong, spoiled at home, assumed everyone would indulge her wherever she went.

"Because this is my house! Can’t I kick you out?" Luna stood up, glaring at Lu Zitong.

Lu Zitong glared at Luna, her eyes instantly reddening, grabbing the old lady’s arm, "Grandma, look at Aunt. She’s being mean to me again! She’s always favored Qiu Zi since we were young, and continues to do so now! Uncle’s house is so nice, but Aunt only let Qiu Zi stay here and not her real niece! Now she even wants to kick me out, Grandma, you have to say something to Aunt!"

Old Mrs. Lu had always doted on this precious granddaughter, never willing to say a harsh word, let alone let others criticize her. Seeing Lu Zitong’s red and aggrieved eyes, her heart twisted with sympathy.

"Luna! Do you think you can get carried away just because you’ve married well? Have you forgotten your status at home? Zitong is your niece, your elder brother’s only daughter, our Lu Family’s only hope. It’s one thing to be biased towards Qiu Zi, but how can you speak to Zitong so harshly? Look how aggrieved she is!" After scolding Luna, the old lady softly comforted Lu Zitong, "Alright, I’ve spoken to your aunt, Zitong, don’t be angry. With Grandma here, no one dares make you leave!"

Old Mrs. Lu had already regarded this place as her home, assuming the stance of an elder with great authority.

"Mom! You shouldn’t spoil her like this!" Luna was infuriated.

"I want to! If you dare bully Zitong again, don’t blame me for turning against you!"

Luna wanted to say more but was stopped by Leng Liewei, who held her hand and gently shook his head, indicating for her not to speak. At this moment, saying more would only make things worse.

Seeing Luna stumped, Lu Zitong’s little face broke into a triumphant smile. As long as Grandma was around, no one could bully her!
