She thought that Lu Miao would hate them, and she had already prepared herself to be disliked and avoided by her during this visit.

But unexpectedly, not only did Lu Miao come to see her, she even helped her cut the steak.

She hurriedly picked up the sliced beef from her plate and placed it on Lu Miao’s plate. “Have more, have more.”

Qin Shuang, who was standing at the side, did not think too much about it. She only looked at the old lady with disdain.

Then she pushed a glass of water toward Lu Miao, patiently and as gently as possible, she said, “You’ve had a long day of classes. Have some water first.” Lu Miao took a look and took a sip from the cup.

Qin Shuang continued, “Miao Miao, we’ve heard about the annulment of the engagement. It has caused quite a stir, and as a young girl, it’s not good for you to be affected like this. I’ve discussed it with your mother, and we think it would be better for you to go back to the countryside with her for now, to lay low until the situation calms down. Once everything has settled, if you want to come back, we’ll bring you back.”

Lu Miao seemed to be naturally destined to bring trouble to their Lu family. Ever since she arrived in Luo City, everything seemed to go wrong, and this damn girl always stole the limelight from Siyu.

She didn’t know who spread the rumor that Second Master Gu was dying.

But now, Second Master Gu was doing well, and the Gu family was thriving.

Whether the Gu family canceled the engagement with Lu Miao or not, Siyu had a good relationship with Gu Xingyu. With her help, there might still be a chance for Siyu.

Of course, before that, she had to think of a way to send Lu Miao away.

Otherwise, if she stayed in Luo City, there would be endless trouble.

Then, she gave Song Lin a look. Song Lin thought of the huge dowry gift in Lu Miao’s hands and nodded in agreement.” You’ve been gone for so long. Your grandmother misses you too. You can go back and accompany her.”

Lu Miao lowered her eyes and slowly cut the steak in front of her.

She said,” I won’t go back. If Grandma misses me, I can arrange for her to stay in Luo City.”

Qin Shuang’s pretense of patience instantly ran out, and she immediately sneered, “You’re not going back, are you embarrassed to stay here and embarrass us? Our Lu family can’t afford such a person.”

The old lady, seeing the situation, hurriedly put down her chopsticks. “Mrs. Lu, how can you say such things? Miao Miao is your own daughter.”

“After entering the Gu family, she can still be kicked out. I don’t have a daughter who embarrasses me like that.”

Qin Shuang already had extreme hatred towards Lu Miao, and her patience had reached its limit. Moreover, she had already coaxed her into drinking the water she had tampered with, so now she had no reservations.

Lu Miao stopped what she was doing and raised her head to look at Qin

Shuang.” Madam Lu, is it because the times have changed? You didn’t bind your feet but bound your brain instead? I remember telling you many times that I have nothing to do with the Lu family anymore. If you can’t remember, I don’t mind finding another way to make you remember.”

As she spoke, she twirled the knife in her hand.

Qin Shuang looked at the knife in her hand that seemed to be about to stab her the next moment. She swallowed hard and subconsciously moved to the side.

“You… What do you want?”

“Don’t ever appear in front of me again.”

Lu Miao glanced at her and put down the knife in her hand. She then helped the old lady up.” Grandma, I’ll take you out to eat something else.”

The old lady nodded and followed her up shakily.

Lu Miao supported her and opened the door to the private room, about to walk out.

Behind them, Qin Shuang raised her hand to check the time, smirked, and gritted her teeth.

“Whether you want to go back or not, it’s not up to you. Today, you will go back whether you like it or not.”

Fortunately, she had prepared two plans today. She had brought the old lady over and prepared something else as well.

Looking at the time, the effects of the drug in the water were ready to take action.

When the drug took effect, Lu Miao would have no room for resistance.

She would lock her up in the countryside and she would never be able to come out again in her lifetime.

“Is that so?”

A voice came from outside the private room that had just been opened.

Everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see an unexpected figure.

Qin Shuang’s expression changed.

Why was he here?

Didn’t they say that the Gu family had already broken off their engagement with Lu Miao and chased her out of the Gu family?

What did it mean for him to step forward now?

With his hands in his pockets, Gu Ziheng leaned lazily against the doorway. “Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, what an imposing presence you have.”

Lu Siyu, who was sitting next to him, quickly stood up and tried to mediate. “Brother Ziheng, it was just a misunderstanding earlier. My mother was just upset and said something out of anger. Let’s all sit down and talk calmly.”

Gu Ziheng had previously promised to let her participate in the talent show. She had been unable to contact him for the past few days. It was rare for her to meet him, so she must not give him a bad impression at this time.

Gu Ziheng sneered, looking at her without any warmth in his eyes. “Misunderstanding? Do you think my ears are just for show? Lu Siyu, not everyone is like Gu Xingyu who can be easily deceived with a few words from you.”

Gu Ziheng had heard everything about what Lu’s family and Lu Siyu had done from Xingyu. That’s why he had misunderstood Lu Miao all along. But in these past few days, he had uncovered the truth.

“I didn’t.” Lu Siyu instantly panicked and hurriedly denied it.

“You don’t have to pretend to be innocent in front of me.”

Gu Ziheng said mercilessly, then turned to look at Lu Qin and Qin Shuang.”And what about you two? You want to take someone from our Gu family. Have you ever asked our Gu family about it?”

“Third Young Master, the Gu family has already annulled their engagement with her. I can decide where to take her. It’s our own business,” Qin Shuang replied, not fearing Gu Ziheng as much as she did Gu Shiyan.

Gu Ziheng was not like Gu Shiyan, who had the Gu family fully under his control. Gu Shiyan had a close relationship with the law and mafia, and he was fierce and ruthless. Whereas, Gu Zhiheng was just a young son of the Gu family who was leeched on their wealth.

Qin Shuang was not as afraid of him as she was of Gu Shiyan.

She was just concerned that Gu Ziheng standing up now represented himself or the Gu family.

“I don’t know if she’s your daughter or not, but I know very well that she’s my second sister-in-law.”

Gu Ziheng sneered. After saying that, he stood up straight and turned to look at Lu Miao. He lowered his head slightly and called out,” Second Sister-in-law.”

This was the first time he had called Lu Miao ‘Second Sister-in-law’ in front of her, and the tips of his ears could not help but feel hot.

But at the same time, he was a little nervous, afraid that Lu Miao would not accept it because of what had happened before.

What he didn’t know was that these two words were like a depth charge, creating a tidal wave of emotions in Lu Qin, Qin Shuang, and Lu Siyu’s hearts. It wasn’t surprising for Gu Shiyun to protect Lu Miao, after all, they were engaged in name. Even if it was just for the sake of face, he needed to protect her in public. It didn’t necessarily mean anything.

At most, they would find an opportunity to cancel the engagement in the future. It would not prove anything.

However, Gu Ziheng was different. He was two years older than Lu Miao.

If he had not truly acknowledged and accepted Lu Miao from the bottom of his heart, how could he call her Second Sister-in-law in front of others, treating her as his elder?
