Chapter 196: Chapter 196: The Feeling His Sister Gave Him
“The Qi Family always prepares two types of invitations for their banquets, and the golden invitations are roughly…”
Lu Jingzhi thought for a moment and said, “Only those of the Li Family’s stature would get one.”
Lu Zhanxing muttered, “You’re not joking with me, are you?”
“This is common knowledge. You don’t listen when I tell you to pay more attention to the social circle’s news; now you know nothing.”
Lu Jingzhi, sensing something off with Lu Zhanxing, asked, “Is it something to do with your sister? She hasn’t caused you any trouble, has she?”
“No, she’s been good.”
Lu Zhanxing hesitated, wanting to tell Lu Jingzhi about what happened today, but for some reason, the words just wouldn’t come out.
Intuitively, he didn’t want to tell his older brother about his sister having a golden invitation.
“Do you get along well with your sister?”
“Pretty well, we even went to the amusement park together.”
Lu Jingzhi felt an inexplicable twinge of sourness.
Both being brothers, yet why was the attitude towards him comparatively colder?
“It seems your sister likes you a lot. You should take her out more, there are only four days left of the holiday.”
“Sure, you don’t have to tell me, I know.”
“I asked you to introduce friends to your sister, how is that going?”
Without changing his expression, Lu Zhanxing replied to him, “You have to give me some time to arrange things.”
“No rush, just make sure you don’t forget,” Lu Jingzhi said.
Until now, Lu Jingzhi hadn’t given up on having Qiao Yun follow the path he had laid out, hoping she could avoid some of the hardships of growing up.
Qiao Yun was too naïve, and as her brother, even if he was disliked, there were things he felt he had to manage.
Lu Zhanxing understood his older brother all too well; as the eldest son, he always believed his decisions were the right ones and liked making decisions for them.
But he himself was only complying outwardly.
His sister didn’t seem like someone who would be arranged about, either.
Lu Zhanxing changed the subject: “How’s everything at home?”
Lu Jingzhi replied, “Mom and Dad took Tingting on a trip.”
Lu Zhanxing was stunned. “Why did they suddenly go on a trip?”
“It was Tingting’s suggestion, and since it coincided with the holiday, they agreed.”
Lu Jingzhi was in agreement with this suggestion as well.
He hoped that after this trip, Lu Ting would stop her wild speculation.
Lu Ting had done many wrong things, and he was disappointed, but he still wished for the family to live in harmony.
Lu Zhanxing fell silent for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, “Why didn’t they take your sister?”
“Your sister went to find you, didn’t she?”
“If you wanted to go out as a family, you could have asked where your sister wanted to go, not leave her alone!”
“It was a last-minute decision on the day your sister went to find you; we couldn’t just ask her to fly back, could we?”
Lu Jingzhi felt that Lu Zhanxing’s anger was baseless.
“Initially, Mom and Dad didn’t want to go either; after all, it’s not much fun for just them without your sister. But Tingting… she’s been under a lot of pressure from her studies recently and begged Mom and Dad to take her out.”
In the end, they gave in, unable to bear seeing Lu Ting so pitiful.
Lu Zhanxing furrowed his brows deeply.
In his memory, Lu Ting was very obedient, but he knew that such obedience was born out of necessity.
He understood that Lu Ting, being adopted, wanted to please her family, and he never rejected her, only kept his distance.
This time, why wasn’t she obedient?
It seemed… that his sister might not be comfortable at home.
Lu Zhanxing didn’t know about the incidents between Qiao Yun and Lu Ting, and his family certainly wouldn’t tell him.
He thought to himself that he needed to find time to go home and see for himself.
Lu Zhanxing didn’t share these thoughts with Lu Jingzhi; he was still pondering the matter of the invitation.
He needed to get some sleep, and once sober tomorrow, he had to figure things out.
Wasn’t his sister brought back from the countryside? Where did she get such a precious invitation from?
And his sister gave him the feeling…
