When Su Ran and the other two arrived at the Lu family’s main residence in Dongshan Garden,
several of the Lu family’s nephews were already waiting there.
The Lu family’s facial features were really similar, especially between the brows, they were especially similar. Su Ran was honestly amazed to see six people who looked so similar all at once, plus Lu Shao and Su Han.
Watching Su Ran looking at the juniors with her eyes sparkling, the Lu family head’s gaze sank, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.
“This is the boss, Lu Boxiao, and the boss’s wife, Xiao Lin.” Lu Shao pointed to the man at the head of the left-hand side and introduced him very simply.
Introduced by Lu Shao, Lu Boxiao called Su Ran “Third Aunt” very seriously.
At the same time, Su Ran also looked at Lu Boxiao, who was standing next to Lu Shao and seemed to be about the same age as him, and nodded at him and his wife. This Lu Boxiao gave people a similar feeling to Lu Shao, very calm and steady.
However, even though they were about the same age, Su Ran discovered that the eldest son of the Lu family seemed to be a little reserved in front of Lu Shao?
Not giving Su Ran time to think, after introducing the eldest of the Lu family, Lu Shao introduced the others one by one.
“The second child Lu Bochen, fifth child Lu Boran, sixth child Lu Boyi.”
The Lus who were called out by Lu Shao all called Su Ran “Third Aunt” in the same way as boss Lu.
Su Ran also nodded at the few people. But couldn’t help but want to complain in her heart. She finally knew what Lu Shao meant by “just meet up casually”.
But, Mr. Lu, could you be any more concise when you introduce your nephew? Furthermore, although Su Ran didn’t like to get along with these three aunts and eight uncles in a big family, the way the Lu family got along was too… indifferent, wasn’t it?
Su Ran secretly muttered to herself as she watched Lu Shao looking at his nephew with an expression that was almost the same as looking at a piece of furniture, and then looked at the group of people next to him who were also quite old and had “serious” expressions on their faces, without even a single extra expression.
If the Lu family had known what Su Ran was thinking at that moment, they would have roared in their hearts.
The Lu family wasn’t indifferent, it was clearly a strict hierarchy! Moreover, this hierarchy only existed between the third uncle and them.
Also, it wasn’t that they were expressionless, but rather that they didn’t dare to act up in front of their “great demon king” at home, and they didn’t dare to make a single extra expression!
Otherwise, with their curiosity about Su Ran, this Third Aunt, they would have been unable to resist taking a good look at the woman who had ensnared their family’s great demon.
How could they still be so upright? Moreover, they had actually prepared gifts for Su Ran.
Ignoring their thoughts, Lu Shao continued to introduce Su Ran to them. When pointing to Lu Boyang who was standing aside, Lu Shao paused, glanced at Lu Boyang with an indifferent look, and then said very concisely, “This is the third child.”
After speaking, Lu Shao frowned as he looked at Lu Boyang’s conflicted expression.
Feeling a cold glare from his third uncle, his expression stiffened. So, Lu Boyang, whose expression had been blank the whole time, finally muttered the words “Third Aunt” with difficulty, his eyes fixed on the ground.
When Lu Boyang called her “Third Aunt”, Su Ran felt uncomfortable. However, after laughing awkwardly in her heart, Su Ran still raised her eyebrows slightly and threw out a word with a fake smile: “Good.”
Well, although she herself was also disgusted, Su Ran really was deliberately targeting Lu Boyang. Lu Boyang was the biological nephew of her child’s father. This was a fact that could not be changed. She could not strangle Lu Boyang to death here just because of the plot in the novel.
But, it should be okay to vent a little, right?carpreads.pages.dev
As expected, when Lu Boyang heard Su Ran call him “good,” not only was he shocked, but even the other members of the Lu family couldn’t hold back their laughter. Their eyes darted back and forth between Su Ran and Lu Boyang several times before finally looking at Lu Boyang with amusement.
Before that, they were still curious. Third Uncle has a Third Aunt now. This topic was first brought up in the group by Lu Boyang. As a result, they were all discussing and curious about it, but Lu Boyang was completely silent, as if he had disappeared.
Later, during the public opinion storm, when Lu Shao directly revealed the existence of Mrs. Lu, the one who had been rumored to be the “Third Aunt” in the WeChat group was finally confirmed.
Who would have thought that they would also eat a big melon about the third child. Although the gossip didn’t mention the name Lu Boyang, if memory serves, at that time, the third son had a good relationship with the young master of the Song family, and there were also many romantic stories about him and that Lin Xing’er.
Although the things that were exposed online may not have been true, and all related items were later cleaned up by the chairman of the Song Group and the Lu family, as the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire.
Not to mention anything else, the third son and his third aunt had a falling out in the past, and this matter is probably true. Coupled with Lu Boyang’s current expression of frustration, it further confirmed the suspicions of these people.
Not only did these two have a falling out, but it was also extremely likely that the third son had provoked the third aunt. Otherwise, would Third Uncle have looked at Lu Boyang with such disdain just now? He didn’t even bother to use his name. Inwardly, they were all gossiping, but on the surface, they maintained a normal expression.
So, after completing the “meet and greet” portion of the Lu family without incident, and having a peaceful meal, these few people very considerately returned to their own residences.
Before leaving, the Lu sixth child tried every possible way to pull the Lu seventh child into their Lu group of six people, despite Su Han’s extreme disgust.
Lu Bochen, Lu Boran, and Lu Boyi left first. Lu Boxiao stayed behind and chatted with Lu Shao in the study about business matters before leaving with his wife.
Lu Boyang, however, was in no hurry to leave. He found Su Ran in the piano room on the second floor.
Although the previous composition, online events, and piano competition all indicated Su Ran’s excellence in this area. However, if he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Lu Boyang would never have imagined that this Song family’s daughter, whom Song Zeyu and even he had once disdained, would one day be so dazzling.
But come to think of it, who hasn’t been young and ignorant? Although Su Ran paid a greater price at the time, is it only acceptable for them to have smooth sailing, successful careers, and happy marriages, but not for the former loser to have a better life?
Thinking of this, Lu Boyang laughed at himself. This self-deprecation caught Su Ran’s attention, and the piano music came to an abrupt end.
Su Ran frowned slightly as she looked at Lu Boyang, who had opened the door to her room at some point and was standing in the doorway. In the original novel, probably to beautify the protagonist, all the endings about “Su Ran” were the result of her own doing.
However, with the original body’s memories in her mind, Su Ran knew that even though Lu Boyang’s actions didn’t cross the line, and sometimes he even used the banner of love, it didn’t mean that he hadn’t done anything to the previous Su Ran.
Su Ran no longer pursued the matter, not because she didn’t care, but because those past events were experienced by the original body. Standing from the perspective of a later person or even an observer, she couldn’t represent the original body to express any attitude.
But this didn’t mean that by keeping those memories, Su Ran could get along with this person amicably.
“If you have something to say, just say it.” Su Ran sighed as she looked at Lu Boyang coldly. She thought, it would be fine to talk it out, and talking it out would also prevent any future entanglements.
“Su Ran, I…”
Lu Boyang hesitated for a moment and was about to speak when Lu Shao’s voice came from behind him.
“Su Ran is what you call her? You should call her Third Aunt.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Boyang was startled, his expression changed slightly. He looked for the source of the voice and saw that Lu Shao, who had just finished talking with the boss, was already walking towards them. He came over and directly held Su Ran’s hand.
“He doesn’t need to say anything.” Lu Shao said this to Su Ran, but his eyes were fixed on Lu Boyang.
“About the past, whether it was a minor quarrel or a pointless dispute, I don’t care, but I also hope this is the last time I hear about it.” Lu Shao looked at Lu Boyang coldly and said, a warning flashing in his eyes.
Indeed, Lu Shao no longer cared about this matter, so Su Boyang should really be grateful. After all, if Lu Shao really took action, ten of him wouldn’t be enough, and it wouldn’t be as simple as just kicking him out of the main house and cutting off the resources that the Lu family gave him.
After speaking, Lu Shao gave Lu Boyang a cold look that said, “You can leave now,” then looked away and took Su Ran’s hand, leading her to the master bedroom next door.
Lu Boyang subconsciously took a step back, making way for the passage. He let out a sigh of relief after the two figures disappeared through the doorway.
It’s just that…
Third Aunt?
Who would have thought, with more than a decade ago, that things would turn out this way more than a decade later?
A bitter smile appeared on Lu Boyang’s face. Not only him, but Song Zeyu probably didn’t think of it either, right?
Back then, he was simply blinded and couldn’t stand to see “Su Ran” use her status as a Su family daughter to bully and repeatedly frame Lin Xing’er.
As for the final confirmation, none of them were innocent or kind. At most, it was just a matter of who was more skilled. He admitted that he was blind to this. But one thing is for sure, Lu Boyang was not blind. The original “Su Ran” did love Song Zeyu.
He wondered if, after seeing the excellent Su Ran and learning about all the infatuation and even madness that the little girl once had, all based on her deep love for him, would Song Zeyu regret it?
Lu Boyang thought about it in his heart, but such an idea was only for a moment, and he quickly cleared it out of his mind. Su Ran was now his third aunt, he shouldn’t have such thoughts again, and he dared not have such thoughts even more.
