"That's true. Our Lu family's daughter doesn't have to worry about no one wanting her." Mr. Lu was the first to accept the situation. He nodded and turned to Lu Yuqing. "Alright, I won't force you anymore."
Lu Yuqing secretly gave Lu Xingzhi a thumbs up to praise him. However, Lu Xingzhi didn't notice her actions. Instead, he took advantage of the fact that everyone was talking to his Second Uncle to quietly pour the untouched milk from his cup into Jiang Yao's cup. Then, he took his own cup and went to the kitchen alone.
Lu Yuqing wanted to say something but stopped herself. She wanted to complain to Jiang Yao, but after thinking about it, she felt that Lu Xingzhi had just helped her out, so she shouldn't kick him to the curb after he'd outlived his usefulness. Thus, she forcibly suppressed the urge to complain.
Lu Xingzhi returned from the kitchen after washing the cups. He sat down next to Jiang Yao and hugged Jiang Yao with one arm. With the other hand, he picked up the milk from the table and placed it in front of Jiang Yao to urge her to drink it. "Drink it while it's still hot."
Jiang Yao made an "oh" sound and didn't suspect anything. She lowered her head and gulped down a few mouthfuls from Lu Xingzhi's hand. Then she suddenly stopped and lowered her eyes to stare at the milk in Lu Xingzhi's hand. She exclaimed in surprise, "I clearly drank most of it just now. Why is there still so much left?"
When Lu Yuqing heard this, she nearly choked on the apple in her mouth.
"I saw it! Big Brother poured his milk into Sister-in-law's cup! He didn't drink a single mouthful of the milk Auntie poured for him! " Lu Xiaoxiao raised her hand high and shouted excitedly. "Big Brother doesn't like cow's milk or goat's milk. He also doesn't like things that taste like milk."
"Leave it for your sister-in-law to nourish herself. She's too skinny." Lu Xingzhi rubbed Jiang Yao's head affectionately. "Her studies are taxing on her brain. She's been working hard recently."
"Thank you for the rest of my life!" Jiang Yao gritted her teeth.
She felt that Lu Xingzhi's last sentence about how she had been working hard recently had a hidden meaning, but looking at his serious expression, it seemed that she was overthinking it.
Hmm, hopefully she was just overthinking things. This guy should still be a decent person.
Jiang Yao knew that Lu Xingzhi didn't like to drink milk. But when she saw Lu Xingzhi accept the milk made by Mother Lu, she thought that Lu Xingzhi would bite the bullet and drink it because Mother Lu gave it to him. She didn't expect that he had a backup plan waiting for her.
"Brother, your excuse is really good." Lu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and muttered. Then, she turned to Jiang Yao and said, "Sister-in-law, has your second brother gone crazy recently? When he saw me in town today, he actually smiled and said hello to me. He even praised me for looking especially good today. Did he take the wrong medicine today? "
Lu Xiaoxiao tugged at her clothes and said, "Auntie and I were cleaning my house in the afternoon. When we bumped into him, we happened to be shopping at the small store in town. I was covered in dirt, but he actually praised me for looking good! Do you think there's something wrong with his brain? "
"He's been in a good mood recently." Jiang Yao nodded. "Don't worry. He's going to the north after the New Year, so you won't have many chances to see him again."
Lu Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "Ah. Because Yang Gaoshu betrayed him and made him a cuckold, he's so sad that he's going to leave his hometown and wander outside?"
Jiang Yao was stunned for a second. Then, she burst out laughing. Lu Xiaoxiao's expression was just too funny. Even Jiang Yao had to admit defeat when it came to her sharp tongue. Only Lu Xiaoxiao could mock someone so seriously without any pretense.
