Chapter 2: Dinner Party (Part 1)

Lu Yunyao was thinking about how to use her merits to cultivate immortality when suddenly, there was a knock on the bathroom door.

Lu Yunyao opened the door. She was wearing a black dress with a good figure. Her hair was permed into big waves. It was her biological mother, Tang Mingmei.

When Tang Mingmei saw Lu Yunyao’s attire, she rubbed the center of her brows and felt hot eyes: “Why did you choose this outfit? This outfit looks good, but it doesn’t fit when you put it on.”

Lu Yunyao looked down, she was wearing a pink dress, layers of gauze were piled up, and the feathers on the chest were also dyed pink, floating lightly. It was a dress full of fairy spirit, but it was not a perfect attire for a dark-skinned girl like her.

If it doesn’t look good, then it doesn’t look good. There was only one thing Lu Yunyao wanted to do now, and that was, to attend the dinner party quickly so that she could continue to cultivate when she came back.

Lu Yunyao said: “I’ve already worn it. Are we going downstairs to attend the dinner party now?”

It doesn’t matter what Lu Yunyao wears, but Tang Mingmei only thought her eyes were hot. She shook her head and grabbed her daughter’s wrist: “Wait a minute, this dress is not good. It’s too embarrassing.”

Embarrassing?

In the past, Lu Yunyao often felt inferior because of this word. At this time, her mind was open, and she was not hurt by this word. Instead, she said very intimately: “The dinner party will start soon. If you feel ashamed, Madam Tang, you can stay away from me.”

Madam Tang?

Tang Mingmei’s brows almost twisted like a zigzag road. What did she call her? She knew that this daughter had a rebellious personality and would not be able to appear on the stage, but she didn’t expect to be called like that. Did the Lu family wrong her when they brought her back from the countryside?

Whatever Lu Mengke has, Lu Yunyao has.

When Tang Mingmei was about to get angry, someone knocked lightly on the door. After looking around, Tang Mingmei laughed and waved her hand to the person to let her come over.

The person who came was the adopted daughter of the Lu family, the girl who exchanged fate with her——Lu Mengke.

Lu Mengke has a pair of upturned red phoenix eyes. She was wearing a chest-length skirt and a double bun. She looked pretty. She was very suitable for ancient makeup, and her every move was like a lady walking out of a painting.

Seeing Lu Mengke, Tang Mingmei stretched her eyebrows and said with a smile: “Why are you wearing Hanfu?”

“Today is the day to celebrate my sister’s return.” Lu Mengke said with a smile on her face: “I wanted to wear a dress at first, but after thinking about it, Hanfu is also an ancient dress, so I chose this dress. Mom, does it look good?”

“It’s pretty.” Tang Mingmei nodded.

Tang Mingmei liked Lu Mengke very much, but Lu Mengke didn’t make her proud like this since she was a child.

Lu Mengke was ignorant when she was a child, but when she was twelve years old, she became enlightened. She suddenly understood the importance of learning. She was hungry and thirsty for knowledge and put all her heart into various studies.

Hard work pays off. Lu Mengke worked hard to study, and she managed to be proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, as well as four languages, with outstanding achievements in liberal arts.

Lu Mengke was now a student of the History Department of Capital University. Lu Mengke has a harmless little hobby, that was, playing the pipa on the vibrato.

When Lu Mengke played the pipa, she would wear Hanfu. Tang Mingmei knew that her daughter liked traditional culture.

Lu Mengke looked at Lu Yunyao, and asked with some concern: “Is my sister not feeling well? Why is your face a little pale?”

Tang Mingmei wanted to say that her own daughter’s face was so dark, how could she look pale?

Tang Mingmei didn’t say these harsh words out of her mouth. Looking carefully at Lu Yunyao, she saw that she was a little pale.

“Are you feeling a little uncomfortable? I’ll ask someone to bring you some dessert.”

Lu Yunyao refused: “I know my body, it’s fine.”

Tang Mingmei originally frowned eyebrows flattened, but frowned again when she heard Lu Yunyao’s refusal.

Lu Mengke gently snuggled up to Tang Mingmei’s side and patted her hand. Tang Mingmei felt much better.

Tang Mingmei also knew that she was biased, but the comparison between the two was simply tragic. Everyone has a heart and a biased heart. Tang Mingmei occasionally felt a little bit guilty. When she looked at her daughter and Lu Mengke, her heart was heavily biased.

“By the way, I’m so confused.” Tang Mingmei said, “Your sister’s clothes are not suitable. Since you are wearing Hanfu, do you have any clothes that suit her? Both of you should wear Hanfu.”

It doesn’t matter to Lu Yunyao, the original owner was looking forward to this dinner party, but now, she can’t wait for it to finish soon.

Lu Mengke nodded: “Let me see what clothes suit my sister. I have a lot of clothes over there, and my sister can wear whatever she likes.”

She looked Lu Yunyao up and down, originally wanting to choose a suitable dress for Lu Yunyao, but suddenly noticed her jade bracelet. The bracelet was full of aura as if there was fog flowing.

“This bracelet.” Lu Mengke couldn’t help but say: “Did my sister buy it? It’s beautiful, very beautiful.”

She subconsciously emphasized the beauty of the bracelet.

Lu Mengke couldn’t take her eyes off the bracelet and even wanted to exchange everything she had now for this bracelet.

Lu Mengke was a little embarrassed because her mind was disturbed. She told herself that she already had a lot, but this real daughter of the Lu family was a pitiful little girl.

Lu Yunyao thought of her Master, so she had a smile on her face: “I didn’t buy it, it was given to me by a very important person.”

Tang Mingmei also glanced at the bracelet: “It’s a good jade bracelet. Mengke, I know you like traditional things. You don’t seem to have any good jade bracelets. I’ll give you one. Yunyao, the ancient style hair accessories you are using now belong to your sister, I will also give you a decent set of jewelry.”

The Lu family was not short of money. Tang Mingmei was a bit biased, but she will try her best to be fair.

Lu Mengke managed to control herself in the end and looked away from the bracelet.

“Thank you, Mom.” Lu Mengke said: “I’ll get clothes for my sister to choose.”

And Lu Yunyao didn’t say anything.

Tang Mingmei felt that there was a reason why she was partial to Lu Mengke. Lu Mengke could do all the details perfectly.

Lu Mengke will thank her, but Lu Yunyao is like a wooden stake.

Lu Mengke brought many sets of clothes, and Lu Yunyao chose a dress with ginger as the main color.

“I have worn this dress.” Lu Mengke said: “The material is good, but does my sister mind?”

Lu Yunyao shook her head: “I don’t mind, that’s it.”

After changing their clothes, the group walked down the stairs.

“Look, it’s your fiancée.”

Huo Shaoming’s waist was bumped. He looked up at the stairs and saw the three people coming down the stairs.

On the left and right of Madam Tang Mingmei stood two girls, both dressed in Hanfu. One of them was Lu Mengke, and the other was the real daughter Lu Yunyao who had just been found.

Huo Shaoming knew that the fiancée his friend mentioned was Lu Yunyao. He was upset: “What fiancée, my fiancée is Lu Mengke.”

Lu Mengke’s excellence was enough to attract Huo Shaoming’s attention. Especially since Lu Mengke has a classical flavor, Huo Shaoming feels deeply attracted.

Huo Shaoming had always been thinking about his married life with Lu Mengke, but who knew that it would suddenly change, and his marriage partner would change to Lu Yunyao?

Huo Shaoming’s good friend Wu Qiansheng thought that Huo Shaoming already had feelings for Lu Mengke. And now that his engagement partner suddenly changed, he was afraid that it would be hard to accept. In his opinion, it was better to accept and cultivate the relationship early and have a formal engagement ceremony.

He shrugged: “But your old man…”

Huo Shaoming thought of his grandfather, and said to Wu Qiansheng with some repulsion: “I’ll do something about it.”

Lu Junyi was also concerned. He recognized this outfit, he had seen Lu Mengke wear it before.

He was originally worried that after Lu Yunyao came back, Lu Mengke would lose something to Lu Yunyao. He was worried that Lu Yunyao would be detrimental to Lu Mengke. The current scene proved his thinking.

Lu Junyi’s eyebrows slightly and felt displeasure that was about to burst: “Dad, look, she chose her dress, but now she is wearing Mengke’s clothes.”

Lu Peng looked up and stared at Lu Yunyao, but his brows were relaxed. He was too disappointed with Lu Yunyao before, but now he can see her change.

One thought on “Chapter 2: Dinner Party (Part 1)

  1. This always bums me, why does the fiance has to change because she’s not the real daughter anymore! So if they were married they’d instantly get divorced. Why is all the focus on tying the family bloodlines like the people involved have no feelings. Am I supposed to feel bad that the fiance doesn’t want to immediately switch now that the real daughter was found?
