Chapter 267: I Want To Protect My Sister

The dinner would start at 5:30 p.m.

After learning what Lu Chuwan had done, Lu Zhiwen and his son, Lu Chuliang, rushed back to the Lu Household from another province. Lu Jingqing went to pick them up, so he did not join them for dinner.

Xu Wei explained, “Don’t worry, Uncle Jingqing will make it up to you next time.”

Gu Yan was wearing a pink pleated skirt with a white short-sleeved top, exposing her two fair arms to the air. “It’s fine. You don’t have to feel sorry. After all, you guys took good care of me when I was in Yu City, so I understand if Uncle Jingqing has something to do.”

Memories were the hardest to erase. When Xu Wei thought about the time when they’d taken care of Gu Yan while her parents had been busy working, the tension that had gripped her faded. “Anyway, you’re welcome to stay at the Lu Mansion for as long as you wish. It has been so long since I last saw you, and I believe we have a lot to catch up on.”

“Okay.” While Gu Yan was talking, she shot glances at Lu Yushen from time to time. She put a wonderful smile on her face and said in a soft voice, “Brother Yushen, we have not seen each other in a long time as well.”

However, Lu Yushen just stared blankly at his drawing board and did not reply.

People with autism were always immersed in their own imaginary world. He had grown up like this, and no one could change him. Gu Yan was accustomed to his attitude, so she did not feel embarrassed.

“Brother Yushen. I came back this time to...”

Before she could finish her sentence, the door to the private room was opened from outside. Then, Lu Yumo, who was hugging a bunny bag in his arms, appeared in front of everyone. There was a sugar figurine clasped between his lips, and he was holding a young lady’s hand.

This was the first time Gu Yan saw Fu Zhi, and she had to admit that Fu Zhi truly was the prettiest girl she had ever seen.

Almond-shaped eyes, tiny face, near-perfect appearance... Even though she was wearing her school uniform, it did nothing to hinder her brightness. Gu Yan was certain that she would stand out the most if she was thrown into a sea of people.

She did not look at all like the poor little girl who had suffered a lot at the hands of the Zhao Family in the countryside.

While Gu Yan was immersed in her own thoughts, Lu Yushen, who was sitting next to her, got to his feet. His frown relaxed, the gloomy expression left his face, and his emotions gradually calmed down.

Pressing his lips slightly, he took the bag in Lu Yumo’s arms and wrote something on his drawing board. “Let me help you with your bag.”

Lu Yumo was speechless.

After all, they were only two steps away from their seats, so he could not fathom why his brother would want to make such an unnecessary move.

Fu Zhi shot him a glance and realized that his complexion had gotten a lot better compared to the last time she had seen him. She lowered her head again and handed a chibi-version Spongebob sugar figurine to him.

However, Lu Yushen did not show much interest in the sugar figurine. He just thought that the sugar figurine looked a lot like his sister.

Gu Yan bit her lower lip, as she was surprised by the sudden change in Lu Yushen’s attitude.

She had never seen him so happy before. Was Fu Zhi the reason? Gu Yan could not be sure, but she did not have a good feeling about it.

After Fu Zhi and Lu Yumo took their seats, Xu Wei introduced them. “This is my daughter, Zhizhi. Zhizhi, remember Uncle Gu’s daughter? I’ve told you about her before. Here she is. Her name is Gu Yan.”
