Lu Beichen finally reached out to touch his son’s head, "Alright Nian Nian, let’s eat! Second aunt is an elder, we are all one family. If there ever comes a day when we’re not, that wouldn’t be good!"
He spoke softly, but his words were full of threat.
Tu Meijiao’s face turned pale, unable to release the breath stuck in her chest.
Lu Sinian obediently replied to Lu Beichen, "Got it, Dad, I’ll be a polite good boy in the future!"
"Oh, my!" Lu Beichen chuckled. This kid really knows how to play the obedient card!
Tu Meijiao and her husband exchanged glances, wondering when the father and son had grown so close!
As soon as dinner was over, Lu Beichen and his wife left with Little Bun, and Tu Meijiao’s family returned to their own western living room.
Once inside, Tu Meijiao was so angry she almost smashed a vase placed on the side; Lu Xinguo hurriedly stopped her, "I spent quite a bit of money to auction this vase back, don’t smash it!"
"All you know is how to mess with these things! No wonder your whole life you’re trampled under your brother’s family. I must have been blind to marry you back then!" Tu Meijiao sat on the sofa and yelled at Li Siru, "Why don’t you pour me some tea already? I didn’t even eat enough this dinner!"
"Aunt, please don’t get angry. It’ll only hurt your own body. They were really too much, especially that little devil Lu Sinian, who doesn’t even respect us!" Tu Yingying said while massaging her legs beside her.
Only then did Tu Meijiao get up and push her hand away, "Stop massaging, you’re tiring yourself! It’s not that Aunt wants to lecture you, but you need to be more careful in the future. You know full well Lu Sinian is Lu Beichen’s darling, and did you see? The father and son aren’t at odds now. If you want to be with Lu Beichen, you’ll be Lu Sinian’s stepmother, so learn from that woman, be nicer to the kid!"
"Me be nice to Lu Sinian!" Tu Yingying was extremely dissatisfied, "He always looks down on me. If it weren’t for Brother Beichen’s sake, I wouldn’t have put up with him. And you still want me to be nice to him?"
"That’s the difference between you and that woman! Look at how well she gets along with Lu Sinian and those sneaky couple? It’s all about the strategy! You’ve been in the Lu family for years and you’re not as good as a woman who just arrived two months ago?"
Tu Meijiao was angry and, as Li Siru carried in the tea, she reached out to touch the teacup, then immediately withdrew her hand, grabbing and throwing it at Li Siru instead, "In the middle of summer, you give me hot water? Are you trying to scald me?"
An entire cup of hot water splashed onto Li Siru’s arm, the teacup even hit hard and then fell to the ground.
The delicate, fair arm turned purplish-red instantly.
Lu Beiyao’s eyes darkened as he walked over and kicked the teacup aside, "How many times have I said, she’s my wife, if anyone lays a hand on her, it’s my business. Since when did it become your turn?"
"What’s with you today?" Tu Meijiao pointed at him, "Are you rebelling against your mother too?"
"Exactly, cousin!" Tu Yingying shot Li Siru a glance, "You don’t even like her, plus she even caused..."
"Shut up!" Lu Beiyao said coldly, and Tu Yingying immediately shut her mouth, shrinking behind Tu Meijiao.
Lu Beiyao directly pulled Li Siru and headed outside, "Even if she’s a dog, she’s my dog. Don’t you dare touch her again in the future!"
The door slammed shut with a "bang," and Tu Meijiao rolled her eyes in disbelief, "Even a dog gives birth to a litter, she can’t even...!"
"Doing this, it makes me feel like you truly care about me!" Li Siru said softly behind him as they stepped out of the room.
