Before she could finish speaking, Old Madam Xu glanced at her. Her dark eyes shot over like knives, scaring her so much that she immediately shut up.

Old Madam Xu snorted softly. “She’s 18 years old. She’s an adult now…”

“You’re right. She’s not young anymore.” Lu Feng glared at Zou Lan angrily and hurriedly went forward to put in a good word for her. “Huanhuan was spoiled by her family, that’s why she’s so willful and arrogant! We’ll definitely discipline her well in the future!”

Then, he gave Lu Zhuo a look.

Lu Zhuo took out a check from his pocket and placed his hands on the coffee table.

“This is a token of our sincerity. I hope you guys will accept it.” Lu Feng’s tone was polite and respectful. This was also something that the old lady had repeatedly instructed him to do before he left.

Old Madam Xu did not even glance at the check on the coffee table. She said calmly, “Forget it. It’s the new year. Let’s all celebrate happily.”

Lu Feng finally felt relieved and quickly pushed his daughter. “Huanhuan, hurry up and thank Grandma Xu.”

Lu Huan felt so ashamed that she could not show her face. When she looked up, her face was already covered in tears. She did not look at anyone and did not say anything. She turned around and ran out.

“Huanhuan…” Zou Lan was worried about her daughter, so she got up and chased after her.

Lu Feng was a little embarrassed and smiled in embarrassment. “Lan has really spoiled this child.”

Old Madam Xu did not say anything. The smile in her eyes did not even have any warmth. She sighed in her heart. Every member of the Lu family was worse than the others. She was glad that Jiaojiao did not marry Lu Zhuo.

Lu Zhuo, who had been standing from the side, suddenly asked, “Grandma, can 1 go and see Jiaojiao?”

“Jiaojiao isn’t feeling well now,” Tian Fanghua rejected him decisively. Previously, she thought that her son-in-law, Lu Zhuo, was still acceptable, but now that there was a point of comparison, she could not help but look down on him.

Putting everything else aside, his attitude toward Jiao jiao was far inferior to Qi Shenbai’s.

“I’m just going up to take a look. I won’t delay her rest.” It was not easy for Lu Zhuo to come to the Xu family. Of course, he was unwilling to give up.

Tian Fanghua wanted to say something, but Old Madam Xu interrupted, “Go ahead, but don’t chat for too long. Jiaojiao needs to rest now.”

Lu Zhuo nodded heavily. “Okay. Thank you, Grandma Xu.”

He turned around and walked upstairs while Lu Feng chatted with them below.

Lu Zhuo quickly went upstairs. When he passed by one of the rooms in the corridor, he saw that the door was ajar and the light in the room was still on. Because the heating in the house was turned on very well, the girl was only wearing a thin nightdress as she sat in front of the drawing board with a focused expression.

He stopped and looked at her seriously.

Xu Jiaojiao’s hair was tied into a cute bun, and her hair was scattered around her forehead. Her skin was fair, and her eyes were clear and bright. Her fair fingers were holding a palette and a paintbrush, and she was drawing seriously.

The room was filled with all kinds of paintings. One of them turned out to be a portrait of him.

He could not help but walk into the room.

When Xu Jiaojiao heard footsteps, she turned around and saw that it was him. She frowned slightly. “Why did you come up?”

This art studio was her small world. Usually, even Xu Zhengyang would not barge in without her permission.

Lu Zhuo looked at her delicate face with mixed emotions. “Grandma Xu said that you caught a cold, so I wanted to come and see you.”

Xu Jiaojiao turned around and continued to draw. She said indifferently, “I just didn’t want to see you guys. I’m not sick.”

“Yes, I know.” Lu Feng looked a little dejected.

Xu Jiaojiao turned her head to look at him with a frown. The annoyance in her eyes was obvious. Why did you have to come up and make people hate you even though you knew? She seemed to ask.

Lu Zhuo avoided her gaze and looked at a painting in the corner. He asked, “Did you draw this yourself?”

Xu Jiaojiao followed his gaze and nodded.

“I never knew you could draw so well. When I was outside the door just now, I could tell at a glance that it was me. Jiaojiao, thank you.”

Lu Zhuo looked at his handsome self in the painting and thought that she must have loved him deeply when she drew this painting. That was why she could draw him so vividly.

Xu Jiaojiao frowned slightly. “Don’t you remember? This painting was my birthday present to you last year. At that time, you thought it was too big and took up too much space, so 1 brought it back. Now, you think it looks good?”

H H

Lu Zhuo was stunned. For a moment, he did not know what to say. He could only smile dryly. “I remember now. At that time, the office was too small. There was indeed no place to keep it. However, 1 changed to a large office some time ago. Can you give it to me now?”

“Sure,” Xu Jiaojiao agreed without hesitation. “You can take it with you later.”

‘Anyway, even if you don’t take it with you, I’m going to throw it in the trash..’
