When Lu Shuangshuang said this, she had a girlish coquettishness, also showing closeness and trust towards Jiang Qiuyan.
Jiang Qiuyan felt she was overthinking, so she smiled and nodded.
"I certainly wouldnât speak carelessly in front of Old Master Lu."
"I know Auntâs mouth is the most discreet."
Lu Shuangshuang spoke, pulling Jiang Yunqing to sit beside her, then patted Jiang Yuncun on the shoulder, "Go, sit with the brothers."
They all had to sit strictly according to position.
The women had one table, the younger masters another, with Old Master Jiang and Fourth Master accompanying the guests at another table.
As Lu Shuangshuang sat down, Jiang Qiuyan felt something was amiss again.
The guest today was Old Master Lu, Lu Shuangshuangâs grandfather.
Logically, Lu Shuangshuang should have sat beside Old Master Lu, right?
This table was designated for the Jiang familyâs women, her sitting here implied she divided the hierarchy as thisâ
Jiang Family, Lu Family.
Rather than the Lu Family being the priority.
She considered herself a Jiang family woman.
However, Xiao Sixth had clearly stated he wouldnât marry her...
Reportedly, Xiao Sixth had told Lu Shuangshuang personally.
Now, Lu Shuangshuang could still act like this...
Jiang Qiuyan felt something was off again.
"Old Lu, come in, come in, you tell me, how many years have you not visited, today we must drink three cups, regardless of what those doctors say about abstaining from this or that."
Fourth Master Jiangâs voice rang out as a group entered the banquet hall.
Everyone from the Jiang family stood up.
Old Master Lu, with hair all white, leaned on a dragon-headed cane, supported by a middle-aged man, entered. This man wore a neat Zhongshan suit, with a slender build, reserved demeanor, and stable steps.
His name was Lu Junyou, everyone knew he always accompanied Old Master Lu, it was said he was a distant relative of the Lu family, with no family left, and Old Master Lu, feeling sorry for him, kept him by his side.
Wherever Old Master Lu went, he would take him, Lu Junyou was taciturn, although his demeanor was outstanding, soon enough others would overlook him.
They just thought he was Old Master Luâs shadow.
Fourth Master Jiang accompanied him on the other side, while Old Master Jiang fell slightly behind.
Jiang Shiheng assisted him.
Once they entered, they naturally sat at the empty main table.
"Grandpa." Lu Shuangshuang called out.
Old Master Lu looked over and chuckled.
"You little girl, youâve become even lazier, not accompanying Xiao Sixth to greet grandpa, just like when you were small, always sneaking to the table early to eat?"
Lu Shuangshuang, already in her thirties, yet Old Master Lu still spoke to her as if coaxing a little girl.
To others listening, it was clear that Lu Shuangshuang was truly cherished by Old Master Lu.
"Grandpa, when did I sneak food? But even if I did, it wouldnât be from your table, this table with aunties and uncles wouldnât blame me."
Lu Shuangshuang bantered playfully and coquettishly like a young girl.
The Jiang family also laughed.
"Youâre so grown up, yet not shy." Old Master Lu shook his head and laughed, then raised his hand to motion, "Alright, sit down, youâre just taking advantage of the Jiang family indulging you."
These words...
Old Master Lu had given permission for Lu Shuangshuang to sit at the Jiang familyâs womenâs table.
For some reason, Jiang Qiuyan felt a bit worried.
She looked towards Jiang Shiheng, seeing only a faint smile on his face, betraying no emotion.
