Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Blind Date Partner

Lu Li was beyond distressed:

"My dear mother, you’re asking me, but I want to ask someone else too!"

Happy as they should be, there was still plenty to worry about!

It wasn’t just any family, it was the Jiang Family!

At that moment, almost all the Lu Family’s eyes were on Lu Li, who felt her scalp go numb.

Meanwhile, Lu Jing had been silent the entire time, keeping his achievements and fame hidden.

Who would have thought that the person most deeply involved with the Jiang family wasn’t Lu Li or even Lu Yan, but Lu Jing, who had been abroad for six years?

He had long been excluded from the suspect list.

So, from beginning to end, Lu Jing had been very safe.

Of course, no one would dwell on it too long, after all, there was still so much to be done.

Before long, people from Lu Li’s grandmother’s side of the family came over.

As the eldest son of the Lu Family, Lu Yan was responsible for hosting them throughout.

At that moment, Lu Jing quietly approached Lu Li:

"Cousin."

"Ah?"

"This is for you, happy wedding!"

Lu Li immediately smiled:

"For me?"

"Yes!"

"What is it?"

"Just open it and see."

It wouldn’t be appropriate to make the gift-giver open it, right?

Lu Li wasn’t being pretentious and haughtily snorted before she took the box and opened it.

When she saw the comb inside, her face lit up with amazement:

"What a beautiful comb!"

The sisters weren’t very knowledgeable about antiques, so naturally, they couldn’t say anything technical. All they could express was that it was pretty or very beautiful, nothing more.

She touched it:

"Hey, this texture, Jingjing, this wasn’t cheap, was it?"

Although they didn’t understand antiques, they knew quality!

Lu Jing nodded and then shook his head.

Definitely not cheap, but he hadn’t even paid for this comb himself!

Awkward.

Luckily, Lu Li didn’t push for an answer, she was just enamored with the comb.

Immediately, Lu Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Cousin, I’ll go help out."

"Why, do you need to? Just sit here with me and help me choose tomorrow’s jewelry."

No choice, Lu Jing had to stay.

However, he still took the chance to send a message to someone, briefly explaining the situation.

About two hours later, the reply came.

"If he dares to charge you, grandpa will break his legs!"

Was that actually Jiang Ye’s real uncle?

Really...

Lu Jing didn’t dare reply, considering his cousin was so sharp, she would easily notice.

So, of course, Lu Jing had no idea that someone had just landed and was leaving the airport.

Joined by Father Jiang, Jiang’s mother, and Jiang Yuan, the only one missing was Jiang Huai.

...

Time quickly moved to the evening.

It was indeed a hectic day.

All of the Lu Family had moved from the old house to the hotel.

Tonight, there were about a dozen tables for the banquet, mainly relatives, while tomorrow was the main event.

Lu Jing could never have imagined that he would meet someone at tonight’s banquet.

Hmm, Lu’s mother had shown him information and a photo in the morning, it was that engineer from the National X Research Institute, who was in the same field as himself.

He wasn’t a relative of the Lu Family but a friend of Lu Li’s cousin who happened to be together and got dragged along.

Clearly, the other party also knew who Lu Jing was.

Other than awkward, nothing else described it.

"Lu... Miss, I’ve heard a lot about you."

"Mr. Li."

"Um, just call me Ah Lian, everyone does."

’Mr.’ and ’Miss’ just sounded so awkward.

It was clear that neither of them had those kinds of intentions.

Lu Jing calmed down quite a bit:

"Alright, then you can call me by my name too."
