Chapter 318 Getting Close
The eldest aunt of the Lu family lowered her eyes and head to hide her expression, then stood up with everyone else and said with a smile in the direction of the old man, "Oh, this is really thanks to Yuanyuan. I have never been to the Lu family ancestral hall before, so it is really an eye-opener."
But no one cared about her sarcasm. Mr. Lu took the lead and walked towards the small door behind the auditorium.
The eldest aunt of the Lu family gritted her teeth secretly, and her expression twisted again, but she tried hard to restrain her unwillingness and continued to follow with a smile, while his two daughters and a son also followed silently behind him, but no one seemed to notice that his mood was not right.
The ancestral hall was located behind the auditorium, a small, quaint courtyard. It was indeed quite small, with only enough space for three people to stand side by side in the courtyard. However, the main room inside the ancestral hall was quite spacious. Numerous tablets were placed inside. The three small tablets that had been placed in the auditorium were returned to the ancestral hall.
The incense had to be prepared and lit in the ancestral hall, so everyone stayed in the courtyard before entering the hall. Old Man Lu stood at the head, followed by Liu Yuanyuan, while Liu's parents stood next to the side room. After all, he was not a member of the Lu family, so he could only be a spectator.
At this time, the eldest aunt of the Lu family came up to Liu Yuanyuan with a smile, took Liu Yuanyuan's hand affectionately, patted it, and said with a smile: "That's right, that's how it should be. The Lu family is so big, and one more person like you won't make a difference. Why don't you make more plans for your future? Aunt is a down-to-earth person. These words may sound unpleasant, but Aunt also cares about you as a family member."
Liu Yuanyuan smiled and nodded. "I understand what you're saying, aunt. I also know you're doing this for my own good. So I won't think too much about it. But why didn't my uncle come on such an important day?"
The eldest aunt of the Lu family smiled and sighed, "Your uncle is a strong-willed man and doesn't want to rely on the Lu family. That's why we run our own small company. He said he had an important meeting at the company today, so he didn't come. He asked me to congratulate you on officially becoming a member of the Lu family."
Liu Yuanyuan sneered inwardly. Did he really think he was a child who knew nothing? Who would believe that their small company didn't rely on the Lu family?
His good uncle often relied on the fact that he was the son-in-law of the Lu family and used the Lu family's banner to attract work for his own company, and even took kickbacks directly from the production lines or suppliers under the Lu family.
It was just that Mr. Lu had always felt guilty, so he asked his father to turn a blind eye. However, since his eldest brother took office, her uncle had been able to gain less and less benefits. He must be holding a grudge now, so how could he sincerely congratulate her?
Not only her uncle is resentful, but I'm afraid her aunt is also resentful of her for taking advantage of her.
However, Liu Yuanyuan didn't point it out. She just smiled, nodded, and said thank you. After all, the matter of the Lu family's eldest aunt should be her biological parents' business, and it was not appropriate for her to intervene. As for the bracelet, they would have to wait until the Lu family obtained evidence of his crime and had him taken to the Public Security Bureau. Then they would hand her over to Tang Ziji's department, and then they could interrogate and investigate.
At this moment, the eldest aunt of the Lu family asked in confusion, as if she had suddenly discovered something: "Yuanyuan, don't you like the bracelet that your eldest aunt gave you? Why don't you see you wearing it?"
Liu Yuanyuan raised an eyebrow. She had already thought of how to deal with her question, so she smiled and said, "Aunt, you're overthinking it. How could I not like it? After all, that bracelet is really special. But I'm a student and I have homework to do. Wearing this thing on my hand really affects my studies. Besides, my brother said that today's ancestor worship should be simple and solemn. So I'm wearing a small dress for school today. I didn't bring any jewelry."
The eldest aunt of the Lu family was obviously stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "That's true, that's true, it's the eldest aunt who didn't think it through."
The eldest aunt of the Lu family lowered her eyes and began to think. After all, this was beyond her expectations. She had thought that the little girl would wear the bracelet she had given her as a token of affection.
But if she didn't come with the bracelet, her plan would not be able to be carried out.
Liu Yuanyuan was a perceptive person, and since Aunt Lu was by her side, she immediately noticed the change in her mood.
She sneered in her heart. It seemed that her cheap aunt was planning to activate her bracelet today. In other words, this aunt actually knew something about the function and role of the bracelet. She could even boldly guess what the consequences would be. Maybe she knew something about it.
It seems that if his aunt is really captured this time, Tang Ziji will probably gain a lot.
Thinking of this, she subconsciously lowered her eyes to look at Dai Tong, who was standing on Lie Qing. Dai Tong had obviously noticed their conversation and looked at her. The man and the cat nodded slightly to each other in an almost imperceptible manner.
At this moment, the phone in Lu's eldest aunt's handbag suddenly rang. Lu's eldest aunt frowned and took out her phone to take a look. Liu Yuanyuan also glanced at his phone and saw a name on it: Wang Dafa.
Liu Yuanyuan knew it was her cheap uncle calling. She still pretended not to know him and glanced at her aunt. The Lu family's aunt smiled and nodded at her and said, "I'll go answer the phone."
Liu Yuanyuan nodded, but the pond was already ready. The village chief came out and said a few words to Mr. Lu, who was very happy. He turned around and said a few words to Lu Mingle, who then turned around and walked towards her.
"Yuanyuan is ready, come in with me."
Liu Yuanyuan nodded, but for some reason, she felt a little nervous. She pulled her school dress, adjusted her collar, and followed Lu Mingle into the ancestral hall.
Inside the ancestral hall stood several elderly men, their hair and beards white, wearing black Tang suits and leaning on canes. One stood near the middle row, holding a thick booklet. Upon seeing Liu Yuanyuan and Lu Mingle enter, he nodded.
One of the elders opened the booklet in his hand and began to read it with confidence. Liu Yuanyuan followed behind Lu Mingle, imitating his movements step by step.
When Lu Mingle knelt, she knelt; when Lu Mingle bowed, she bowed; when Lu Mingle burned incense, she burned incense. The whole ceremony flowed smoothly and ended with her pressing her fingerprint on the place where Lu Yuanyuan was written in the family tree.
