A few days later, the old man of the Song family held a birthday party, and the Lu family naturally received the invitation.
Lu Wanning will naturally go.
The Lu family and the Song family were not at odds with each other, not to mention that she was about to cooperate with Song Yicheng.
Lu Songming has retreated behind the scenes in recent years, so this time it was still his eldest brother Lu Huaize who attended.
Along the way, Lu Huaize was worried that Lu Wanning would not adapt, so he told her:
"If you don't like dealing with them later, just go sit in the dessert area and have something to eat."
"Also, I remember that there is a small garden at the east gate. Although it is not suitable for flower viewing at night, it is better than the quiet environment..."
Lu Wanning listened to her elder brother's concern and nodded obediently at first, but then she couldn't help but interrupt him:
"Brother, you have forgotten that in the past few years in the Gu family, I have attended many occasions on Gu Huaimo's behalf."
"After all, a mathematician doesn't like to clear the table, but Gu Huaimo disdains being conceited and conciliatory."
In fact, with his current achievements, no one can make him be conceited, but most celebrity banquets are still a waste of his time in Gu Huaimo's eyes.
Most of the time, Lu Wanning and Gu's mother participated together.
Lu Huaize suddenly stopped talking. Upon closer inspection, he seemed a little lonely.
Lu Wanning couldn't help but wonder whether she might have hurt her elder brother's fragile heart.
But when he arrived at the Song family, Lu Huaize quickly returned to his former self and interacted with everyone.
Unfortunately, Gu Huaimo's black Maybach stopped almost immediately after Lu Huaize's car.
This led to Song Yicheng seeing Lu Wanning and Gu Huaimo walking almost one behind the other when he was welcoming guests.
"Brother, sister-in-law." His eyes lingered between the two of them, apparently mistakenly thinking that they had reconciled.
After all, Gu Huaimo didn't bring any other female companion today, and the two of them happened to be wearing the same color.
Lu Wanning wanted to refute, but someone else came right after, and Song Yicheng had already turned to greet the others.
"..." She could only glance at Gu Huaimo, then turned and followed Lu Huaize into the banquet hall.
To be honest, she thought Lu Xuewei would come as Gu Huaimo's female companion, but who would have thought that Gu Huaimo didn't bring her with him.
This made Lu Wanning think of her previous speculation for a moment. Maybe Gu Huaimo really didn't like Lu Xuewei anymore?
Of course Lu Wanning was happy without the people she disliked, but she soon found that she was already happy.
"Are you Lu Wanning?" A arrogant voice came. Lu Wanning raised her eyes and saw a little girl dressed like a little princess.
She didn't want to pay attention, but she didn't expect the other party to refuse: "Hey, I'm talking to you, why are you so rude?"
Bai Yuyao put her hands on her hips, and the cuteness on her face overshadowed the sweet girl in clothes:
"I heard that you are divorcing cousin Huaimo, so why are you still coming here?"
Lu Wanning sighed, put down the dessert in her hand, and sighed again, if someone wants to cause trouble for you, it will be useless whether you hide in the dessert area or the bathroom.
She raised a smile, stood up and faced Bai Yuyao, but did not answer her words. Instead, she looked her up and down and commented:
"No wonder outsiders think of your sister when they mention the daughter of the Bai family."
"Compared to Bai Ying, you are indeed far behind."
These words instantly seemed to hit Bai Yuyao's pain point, causing her to widen her eyes and angrily:
"Lu Wanning, why do you say that to me! It's just a sparrow flying on a branch. Do you really think you are a phoenix?"
Facing her words, Lu Wanning just raised her eyes and had no further reaction.
Regarding Bai Yuyao, none of them looked down on anyone.
Bai Yuyao had been friends with Lu Xuewei in the past. Later, when the Lu family recognized Lu Wanning, she only felt that Lu Wanning had taken the position of her good friend.
Bai Yuyao herself was originally the illegitimate daughter of the Bai family, but she was only known to the outside world as Mrs. Bai's second daughter.
But Bai Yuyao should have known about her origins at a very young age, so she least wanted others to compare her with Bai Ying. However, her character and abilities were no different from those of countless pampered young ladies.
Facing her, Lu Wanning didn't even need to think too much, she just said lightly: "But I am indeed the biological daughter of the Lu family."
She was just held in the wrong arms back then.
Although she didn't say anything later, Bai Yuyao still seemed to have been stepped on:
"You... so what. It is Xuewei who has lived with Uncle and Aunt Lu for more than ten years, not you."
"In my heart, only Xuewei is the daughter of the Lu family, and so what if you occupy this status? You are still a sparrow at heart!"
Hearing what she said, Lu Wanning couldn't help but applaud: "The second half of the sentence makes sense."
Only then did Bai Yuyao realize what she had said.
After all, she is the one who occupies the position of the daughter of the Bai family. In fact, she was originally a shameless illegitimate daughter.
"You——!" Bai Yuyao was young and seemed to have an average brain, so she couldn't be better than Lu Wanning.
Originally, she wanted to fight with Lu Wanning, but in the end, she was almost made angry and cried.
"Lu Wanning, you—" She pointed at Lu Wanning, unable to say the next sentence for a long time.
At this moment, a gentle female voice came from behind her: "Yao Yao, I've been looking for you for a long time. Where are you?"
Lu Xuewei, who looked so pitiful in front of Gu Huaimo, instantly seemed like a gentle and caring big sister when she came to Bai Yuyao.
"Sister Xuewei..." Bai Yuyao immediately found her backbone and hugged Lu Xuewei's arm.
She looked at Lu Wanning provocatively again: "I brought sister Xuewei here, Lu Wanning, don't even think about bullying her!"
Lu Wanning: "..."
Who is bullying whom now?
Her patience gradually ran out, and she turned coldly: "Then before you speak or act, you'd better think about whether you can afford the consequences of affecting the cooperation between the Lu family and the Bai family."
"And..." Lu Wanning cast her eyes on Lu Xuewei and pulled her lower lip: "Ever since you did that thing, you and the Lu family have nothing to do with each other. If you hadn't jumped in front of me today, I almost forgot, I will have to remind them later to change your name."
Lu Wanning was already tall. Looking down at Lu Xuewei, she was superior to her in terms of aura: "After all, you have nothing to do with the Lu family, so you should be called Zhuang Xuewei, right?"
After saying this, Lu Wanning turned around and left the dessert area.
Gu Huaimo wasn't the only one who didn't like to be conceited, she also hated such occasions.
After she let go of some of her thoughts about Gu Huaimo, she no longer had to think about being cautious and appropriate when speaking and doing things.
But for Lu Xuewei and Bai Yuyao, they had always been calm and temperless people, and they suddenly started to attack themselves.
"Sister Xuewei... why is she like this!" Bai Yuyao was full of anger, "She didn't have this attitude towards me before!"
In comparison, Lu Xuewei was much calmer. She even comforted Bai Yuyao and said, "Doesn't this mean that she can't sit still?"
"Probably...it's because I have gotten closer to Huai Mo recently, so I feel uncomfortable."
Bai Yuyao curled her lips when she heard this: "What's so uncomfortable about her? If it weren't for her, you should have been the one to marry Brother Huaimo."
