The guests had mostly arrived, and grandma stood up, taking Xia Lu's hand.
"Come, sit with me."
As she spoke, she led her to a seat next to herself at the main table, "Don't go anywhere, just stay here and keep me company."
Xia Lu sat down, looking towards Zhou Mingchen not far off, now surrounded by his relatives and friends, all unfamiliar people, and he showed no intention of coming to her rescue, truly heartless.
"Thanks to you, Achen is now willing to attend family gatherings. In the past, we tried everything, but he didn't want to come either. If he came, it was rarely for more than two minutes before he left," grandma said, not without regret.
Xia Lu then realized that she was kept here to anchor Zhou Mingchen, preventing him from leaving casually.
"Grandma, he's usually busy with work and often can't make it. Don't blame him. I'll make sure he comes to spend more time with you when he's free."
The Zhou Family's relations seemed quite harmonious on the surface.
