Chapter 885 - 878: She’s Not Allowed to Go
As soon as Lu Zitong spoke, Luna’s face turned unsightly. Luckily, they were all Lu Family members here; otherwise, if outsiders overheard, she’d lose all her dignity.
Qiu Zi spoke bluntly, "Lu Zitong, you really are disgracing yourself. You’re coveting Yiran’s clothes; what else are you coveting of hers?"
Today, Lu Zitong unabashedly looked at Leng Yichen at the dining table, witnessed by everyone here. Of course, they still didn’t know that Lu Zitong had quietly given up on Leng Yichen in her heart.
"I..." Lu Zitong gritted her teeth. She knew Qiu Zi was referring to her staring at Leng Yichen at the dining table, "I was just trying to help Aunt save some money! I thought if Bai Yiran has it, it could just be given to me, saving another purchase!"
Old Mrs. Lu also felt Lu Zitong’s words earlier were inappropriate, and her face turned cold, "You’re a granddaughter of the Lu Family; how can you wear someone else’s clothes? Xiao Na, make sure to get your niece a good outfit!"
Luna glared sideways at Lu Zitong, "Don’t worry, if she loses face, it’s also losing mine. I wouldn’t do such a thing. I’ll not only get her an outfit, but Mom, you and Second Sister, along with Second Brother-in-law and Qiu Zi, also need to prepare one so we can all attend together."
Lu Zitong was immediately unhappy upon hearing this, "Aunt, Qiu Zi can’t go!"
"Why?" Luna furrowed her brows, "This is a Leng Family banquet, and Qiu Zi has been living at the Leng Mansion for so long. Why can’t she go?"
Back when Leng Liewei was in the hospital, Qiu Zi also stayed by his side taking care of him. Leng Liewei quite liked this niece, even suggesting now that she’s not young anymore, she should look for someone at the banquet.
Lu Zitong glared viciously at Qiu Zi, "Anyway, she can’t go! Aunt, isn’t the banquet for finding me a partner? I’m the main character, why let Qiu Zi go too!"
If Qiu Zi attends, then what spotlight does she have to share? Won’t all the men expectantly look at Qiu Zi...
"Your uncle thinks Qiu Zi isn’t young either, and wants to take this opportunity to find her someone, see if there’s a decent young man. Besides, you two sisters are both single, isn’t it a win-win to attend the banquet together?"
Lu Qian was happy when she heard Leng Liewei had this thought. After all, no matter how good a girl’s job is, it’s not as good as marrying well. Leng Liewei taking such care of her family Qiu Zi was unexpected to Lu Qian. Seeing Qiu Zi’s face red and swollen from her own beating, she started to feel some regret and heartache.
Realizing she couldn’t convince Luna, Lu Zitong turned directly to Old Mrs. Lu, "Grandma, tell Aunt not to let Qiu Zi go. If she goes, everyone at the party will only look at her, not me. Isn’t this party for finding me a partner? Why should she join the fun?"
Old Mrs. Lu agreed with her granddaughter’s point. Qiu Zi indeed looked prettier than Lu Zitong, and both her academic background and figure surpassed Lu Zitong, lacking nothing except the Lu surname. Once such a Qiu Zi attended the banquet, she could easily steal Lu Zitong’s spotlight. That would make all of today’s efforts wasted, as her purpose for being here was Lu Zitong’s future. As for Qiu Zi, that’s a matter for the Qiu Family and has nothing to do with her.
With this thought, Old Mrs. Lu forcefully said, "Qiu Zi shouldn’t attend the banquet, look at her swollen face, she’d just make trouble!"
