"Mother Wu, we are not having a ceremony," said Lu Yuxi. "Help yourself to whatever you want to eat."
The Lu family didn't have the old-fashioned way of eating in silence. Eating quietly would make her suffocate; therefore, dinner passed happily.
After dinner, Lu Yuxi asked Mother Wu to stay. Seeing that it was getting a little dark, Mother Wu agreed to stay.
After dinner, Lu Zhengming didn't go to the study room. Instead, he read the news in the hall with Lu Yuxi, Mother Hu, and Mother Wu who were also in the hall chatting.
"Jing, these are the red eggs I brought for you from home. Take them." Mother Wu handed the small basket to Mother Hu.
"Elder sister, you said you would come, and you came. Why did you bring red eggs? It's not New Year's Day," Mother Hu said. She had no idea that today was her birthday.
"Jing, isn't today your birthday? That's why I specially brought some local specialities for you," Mother Wu said with some confusion.
Mother Hu was stunned. Today was really her birthday? Every year, she would be lonely at New Year's Eve, making her forget about her birthday.
Mother Hu's eyes turned red, causing Lu Yuxi's heart to ache. Just how much suffering had Mother Hu suffered.
Lu Yuxi hugged Mother Hu and said, "Mother Hu, you won't be alone anymore. You still have me. I, Lu Yuxi, will be your daughter from now on."
Mother Hu saw how good Lu Yuxi was to her, and her tears could not stop flowing.
Lu Yuxi said jokingly, "Mother Hu, if you cry again, you won't be beautiful anymore."
When Mother Hu heard this, she could not help but burst into laughter.
"It's good that you're laughing," Lu Yuxi said as she helped Mother Hu wipe her tears.
At this moment, Lu Zhengming called out, "Lu Yuxi! Look at the tv!"
Lu Yuxi, Mother Hu, and Mother Wu all looked up when they heard this.
Only to see...
"Welcome to the 7:30 pm news. I'm the host, Xiao Wei. At around 10 am this morning, a huge explosion occurred at a jewelry store owned by the Lu Corporation. As everyone knew, the Lu Corporation's jewelry store had been selling out of stock recently. With the number of people coming in and out of the store, it was truly a miracle that there were no casualties during the incident. To see what happened, let's watch the video footage." Then, the video of Lu Yuxi saving everyone in the premises was broadcasted.
The host continued to report, "Everyone saw it. It was this young woman who saved so many people. Our reporter has interviewed the heroine who is a high school student in City A. Before the accident, this high school student was still in the middle of a mock exam, but she handed in her exam paper at record speed and arrived at the jewelry store at the perfect time. She rushed into the scene and asked the people inside to evacuate immediately. At this point, some people questioned how she knew that the explosion would happen. There were even some people who suspected that she was an accomplice. Actually, she wasn't. Please continue to watch."
The host played the rest of the video, "As you can see, this high school student rushed in a few seconds before the explosion to pull a person out," he said. She must have had a grudge against the Lu Corporation, but she didn't want to kill innocent people. If she was an accomplice to the crime, her actions would not make sense. To consider this young woman to be a suspect becomes even more impossible because according to the reporter, she is none other than the daughter of Lu Zhengming from the Lu Group."
Lu Yuxi broke out in a cold sweat after she saw the news and how she was described as a brave heroine. Did the reporters receive bribes or something? Why did they praise her so much?
All of a sudden, all the channels were featuring her story, which made Lu Yuxi a little annoyed. How was she going to go to school tomorrow? Was this considered self-defeating?
She had originally wanted to let the Lu Jewelry Company make a name for itself in the whole country, but who ended up making a name for herself?
Meanwhile,
Mo Rui had just come out of the bathroom, and his hair was still dripping wet. It had been a few days, and they had not found the whereabouts of that woman in the vicinity. He headed to the tv which was turned on too loud and made him annoyed. He was about to turn it off when...he saw the person he had been thinking about day and night the past few days. A smile flashed across the corner of his lips. The daughter of the Lu Family, Lu, Yu, Xi.
When Mother Wu and Mother Hu saw the news, they widened their eyes to look at it. "Miss, you're on TV. You've become a heroine."
Lu Yuxi stammered a few times, but she still did not know what to say, so she chose to keep her mouth shut.
She squeezed out a little smile helplessly. "Mother Hu, I bought a cake for you. Let's open it now."
Although she was not satisfied with being reported as a heroine for no reason, it was Mother Hu's birthday. How could she ruin the atmosphere.
The reason why Lu Yuxi chose this time to open the cake was because Mother Wu and Mother Hu had not seen each other for a long time. There must be a lot of topics to talk about. She would let them get together as soon as they finished eating.
She called all the servants and gathered all the edible snacks in the house. Everyone convened at the hall.
She opened the cake, sang the birthday song, got Mother Hu to blow out the candles, and make a wish. Everything happened quite smoothly.
She knew that Mother Hu was more traditional, so she followed the tradition. She did not expect Mother Hu to be so touched that she could not stop crying.
After helping Mother Hu celebrate her birthday, it was almost 10 o'clock when she finished showering. Lu Yuxi yawned. She used to sleep very late, but why was she yawning so early now?
Lu Yuxi walked to her desk and started reading. She still had two days of exams to take, so she could not relax so much.
Knock, knock...Someone was at the door.
"Miss, someone is calling you," the maid's voice sounded from outside the door.
"Huh? Who is it? It's so late," Lu Yuxi went downstairs with a puzzled look.
It was so troublesome. It seemed that she really had to buy a mobile phone. Otherwise, she would not be able to receive calls when she was not at home.
Lu Yuxi took the phone and asked, "Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, is this Lu Yuxi?" A voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Yes, this is she. Who is this?" Lu Yuxi asked.
"This is Lao Min."
"Lao Min, have you settled your matter?" Lu Yuxi sat down on the sofa next to her.
Lao Min replied, "Yes, yes. I completed the divorce procedures this afternoon. I left the house and only have 100,000 yuan. Xiao Bei is under my care."
Lu Yuxi asked sympathetically, "Lao Jie, are you alright? You're still young. There will be many good men in the future. I'll personally watch out for you in the future."
Lao Min laughed, "Haha, Lu Yuxi, don't worry. I'm fine. I've also thought it through. It's good that such a man left. Otherwise, I'll regret it even more in the future."
Lu Yuxi saw that Lao Min was fine and smiled, so she quickly replied, "Yes, Lao Min, such a man is not worthy of your love."
At this moment, Lu Yuxi heard some noise on the other end of the phone.
"Mommy, I want to talk to sister Yuxi, I want to talk to sister Yuxi." Xiao Bei jumped up and down beside her, trying to snatch Lao Min's phone.
Lao Min said helplessly, "Xiao Bei wants to talk to you."
"Sister Yuxi, Xiao Bei misses you. Next time, can you bring Xiao Bei to drink some good drinks?" Ever since Lu Yuxi picked her up to comfort her and bought some good drinks, Xiao Bei had liked this sister very much.
Hearing Xiao Bei's cute childish voice, Lu Yuxi could not help but tease her, "Okay, but let sister take a bite, okay?"
