Lu Jing felt quite embarrassed, as he realized the many members of his family were waiting for him.
"Brother, sister-in-law, cousin, why did you all come so early?" he asked.
Lu Li directly took his arm:
"When we heard you were back, of course we wanted to come see you."
That was possible, no denying it.
But there might be other reasons, right?
Lu’s mother brought over a glass of milk and thrust it into her daughter’s hands:
Lu Jing didn’t dare refuse, uttered an "oh," took it obediently, and took a sip before asking again,
"Brother, have you had breakfast yet, Mom?"
"Do you think everyone sleeps in as late as you?"
Tomorrow is Lu Li’s wedding, and these days the Lu Family had been busy beyond belief.
Sleeping in was simply out of the question!
"I... it’s just that..."
Forget it, better not to explain and risk drawing their ire.
Lu Li couldn’t stop laughing as she had Lu Jing sit down:
"Jingjing, you haven’t forgotten that you’re my bridesmaid tomorrow, have you?"
"Don’t worry, I remember."
How could she forget something so important?
If she really forgot, wouldn’t she be chased down by her cousin’s metaphorical forty-meter long sword?
"The bridesmaid dress will only arrive tonight; it’ll be sent straight to our house for you to try on, okay?"
The bridesmaid dresses for the others had all been fitted in advance, except for Lu Jing’s.
Who told her to stay in Nanxi City and not come back?
It was Lu’s mother who had taken her measurements and had the dress custom-made.
Lu Jing of course had no objections: Thıs text ıs hosted at novel{f}ire.net
Was there anything to object to?
"Okay, after that it’s just some details about what to do on the day of the wedding, nothing much. Just follow everyone else’s lead."
To put it simply, she was just there to make up the numbers, without needing to do any specific tasks.
Lu Jing gladly accepted the role of this "tool person":
Lu Li and the others didn’t stay long before getting up to leave.
Lu Jing had finished his milk by this time when suddenly, Lu’s mother called him over with a mysterious air.
This... why did he have a bad feeling about this?
He moved over regardless:
"Mom, what’s up?" he asked.
Hearing this, Lu’s mother began to smile, while pulling her daughter down to sit.
Lu Jing, puzzled, watched as Lu’s mother took out her phone and started tapping on it.
Soon, several photos of young men appeared before her eyes:
"Girl, these are some high-quality prospects that I’ve been looking at for a long while, saved just for you. Take a look."
Lu Jing’s eyes widened in shock, and she started coughing:
"Cough, cough, cough, Mom, why are you... even doing this?"
Could you be any more bored?
He had heard others complain and thought such things would never happen to him.
And yet, it seemed no one was exempt from such a day!
How could Lu’s mother take "I won’t look" for an answer?
"What if there’s one you like the look of?"
"I still won’t look!"
"You must look. If you don’t look today, I’ll sit here and nag you until you do!"
Was this kind of thing even a threat or coercion?
Lu Jing’s lips twitched mightily before he took the phone and gave the pictures a brief glance.
They did indeed seem like high-quality prospects, yet...
"Mom, where did you get all these photos and their information?"
She had dug up quite detailed information, even knowing their blood types and hobbies.
Lu’s mother was quite pleased:
"Your mother went through a lot of effort to get these, asking all kinds of people for help."
She owed a fair number of favors now.
Among the high-quality prospects on Lu’s mother’s phone, one was a postdoctoral fellow who had returned from studying abroad in finance, one was a police captain, and another was the son of a prominent family from Jing City who started his own business in college, and now his company had even gone public. His abilities were indeed beyond question.
