After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved-Chapter 328: Return to the Lu Family

——Jiang Yusheng?

When Lu Sheng heard Peng Hongyuan mention this name, she thought she had heard it wrong.

Jiang Yusheng is Jiang Ting’s brother, which makes him her nominal uncle.

The first time Lu Sheng met Jiang Yusheng was on the eve of last year’s piano competition.

As soon as she returned to the Lu Family’s home and opened the door, she heard Jiang Yusheng’s cursing voice from the living room, calling her an unashamed bastard, a shameless thing, the daughter of a whore.

Jiang Yusheng saw Lu Qianrou as his pride and treasure, expecting her to shine at the piano competition and win glory for him. But on the day of the competition, he was harshly embarrassed and, along with Lu Qianrou, lost all face at the venue and hadn’t visited the Lu Family since.

If it hadn’t been for Peng Hongyuan’s comment, Lu Sheng would have forgotten that there was such a person as Jiang Yusheng, and also that he was a professor at Beijing University just like him.

"Uncle Peng, are you saying that this Jiang Yusheng is a professor at Beijing University Medical School, just like you?" asked Lu Sheng.

"Yes," Peng Hongyuan said, his tone full of undisguised scorn, "although I suspect that the paper he presented for his professorship is quite questionable and doesn’t look like his own work."

"I understand, Uncle Peng," Lu Sheng paused, then said: "Leave the matter of finding Jiang Yusheng to me."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Sheng briefly discussed the matter with Lan Yu, then called Jiang Ting.

"...Hello? Mom."

The moment Jiang Ting heard Lu Sheng’s voice on the phone, she was overjoyed, her cheerful tone unmistakably genuine.

"Ah, mom’s sweet girl."

"Shengsheng, your eldest brother said you went to the night market and hot springs with Muchen and your classmates yesterday?"

"Did you have fun? Have you just woken up? Have you had breakfast yet? Where’s Muchen?"

Jiang Ting bombarded her with a string of questions.

Ever since the last time at the Li Family’s home when Lu Sheng called Jiang Ting mom, Jiang Ting was completely infatuated.

Her five sons were not worth her worry at all, compared to her beautiful, talented, all-competent, and well-behaved daughter who was ever more endearing, the more she looked.

"Yes, we went to the night market and hot springs. It was fun. I’ve just woken up. Haven’t eaten yet, Muchen has gone to get something for me."

Lu Sheng answered all of Jiang Ting’s questions first, then said, "Mom, I’ll come home after breakfast, wait for me at home, I have something to tell you."

"What’s so serious?" asked Jiang Ting, "I wasn’t planning to go out today anyway, it’s rare for your third brother to be home, we’ll have a big meal tonight."

"Right, come back with Muchen. Didn’t he say last time that he loves the braised ribs I make? I’ll cook them for him tonight."

Lu Sheng had the speakerphone on, and it so happened that Li Muchen came in with the breakfast cart and heard this comment.

Therefore, Lu Sheng naturally extended the phone towards him.

Li Muchen leaned forward skillfully and spoke into the phone, "Got it, Aunt Jiang, I’ll take Shengsheng back after breakfast."

Jiang Ting was also one hundred percent satisfied with her future son-in-law and immediately responded affectionately, "Okay, I’ll wait for you guys at home."

Seeing how Lu Sheng and Li Muchen interacted with each other, Lan Yu couldn’t help but feel envious.

Unlike other lovey-dovey couples she had seen, President Li and Lu Sheng never seemed to have that annoyingly intimate closeness, or to utter the cringe-worthy sweet nothings that proclaimed their love for one another.

But every time they exchanged looks and their habitual actions, it was always about trusting and loving each other without having to put love into words.

After the call, Li Muchen looked at Lu Sheng: "Go get washed up first. I got breakfast for two, you and Lan Yu can eat together."

Lu Sheng nodded.

After breakfast, or rather what should be considered as brunch, Lu Sheng said goodbye to Lan Yu, Han Jing, and Lin Yi with Li Muchen and went back to the Lu Family in the afternoon.

On the way, Lu Sheng told Li Muchen about Peng Hongyuan’s situation.

Li Muchen asked whether she wanted him to have someone directly suppress the trending search, but she declined.

"Right now, the ’Professor Peng Hongyuan suspected of luring a minor girl’ entry is at the top of the trending searches, and the heat is growing, double compared to when I first saw it when I woke up."

"Those netizens are indignantly condemning Uncle Peng. If the trending search suddenly drops now, they’ll definitely know someone is manipulating it, and their anger might intensify, making the public opinion even worse," said Lu Sheng.

"So for now, we’re staying put. After I get home, I’ll first ask where Jiang Yusheng is."

"It’s very likely that this matter was orchestrated by Jiang Yusheng. As long as I can see him, I’ll have a way to question him and get the facts straight, then make him come forward to clarify things."

Lu Sheng’s gaze darkened slightly.

[Lu Family]

Lu Jingyan was supposed to go to the office, but after hearing from Jiang Ting that Li Muchen was coming, he decided to stay at home and deal with work in the study on the first floor.

Lu Siyan was not at home; he had surgery scheduled for the afternoon and could come back in the evening.

Lu Youming and Lu Youye were both upstairs.

Upon entering the house, Lu Sheng saw her third brother, wrapped in a bathrobe and with wet hair, drinking water in the living room.

He apparently had just taken a shower, and Lu Ziye did nothing more than casually wipe his hair, with droplets of water streaming down his cheeks to his chin.

His profile was exquisitely striking, and even in such a casual, languid pose, he looked as if he was shooting a promotional video for a bathing series, so handsome it made one want to scream.

Lu Sheng couldn’t help but frown and called out, "Third Brother."

"Sweetie’s back?" Lu Ziye heard his sister’s voice, his sleepy eyes brightened, and he turned around.

Instantly, a tender and doting smile curled upon his lips, and quite naturally, he extended both arms towards Lu Sheng, his tone light, "Come here quickly, let Brother hug you~"

Lu Ziye specially rushed back from the crew’s schedule ahead of time for Lu Sheng’s winter break.

Just to pick up his little sister from school yesterday afternoon.

But as soon as he showed up yesterday, he was besieged by those little girls, only managing a brief encounter with Lu Sheng. He didn’t even get to take his little sister home, let alone get a good look at her face.

What’s more, his little sister actually left with Li Muchen, and he couldn’t see her the whole evening.

Lu Ziye couldn’t help but glance at Li Muchen.

Rationally, he knew Li Muchen was a great choice for a brother-in-law, but emotionally, he found it absolutely disagreeable no matter how he looked at it.

After all, it’s the man who lured away their family’s treasure.

Lu Sheng walked over to Lu Ziye, directly took the white towel off his neck, and spoke in a serious tone.

"Didn’t you say you’ve just gotten over a cold? Third Brother, you didn’t even properly dry your hair after the shower, it’s still dripping wet."

"...Bend down, I can’t reach." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Lu Ziye was indeed obedient and immediately bent his head down, letting his little sister dry his hair.

He hugged his precious little sister and rubbed her face with satisfaction, sighing sentimentally.

"Ah... it’s really better to be home where I have a little sister who helps me dry my hair."

"It’s so pitiful for Brother to be alone out there, not able to have proper meals, with no one to care for him."

"Sweetie really is Brother’s treasure."

It’s a good thing that Lu Ziye’s agent, Tan Jun, didn’t hear this.

Otherwise, the 24-hour all-around agent who cooks meals, washes dishes, buys clothes, arranges schedules, and even takes care of reminding him to take medicine and covers him with blankets for Lu Ziye, would surely toss whichever dish he made onto the table and storm out.

Perhaps the servants, seeing that Lu Sheng and Li Muchen had returned, went to inform others; soon after, Jiang Ting, Lu Youming, and Lu Youye all came downstairs, gathering in the living room.

After exchanging pleasantries with Li Muchen for a while, Jiang Ting got down to business and asked, "Shengsheng, you said this morning that you had something to discuss with Mom when you came home, what is it?"

Lu Sheng paused, then looked up and said, "Mom, eldest brother, have you seen today’s Weibo trending topics?"

"Weibo trending topics?" Jiang Ting doesn’t keep up with Weibo, but Lu Jingyan has a daily habit of scanning Weibo to check on the day’s news.

Thus, Lu Jingyan recalled something and then asked Lu Sheng, "Shengsheng, are you referring to the incident of Professor Peng Hongyuan climbing to the top of the trending list? It was about Professor Peng luring underaged girls with special admission spots, but who knows if it’s true."

"It’s not true," upon hearing this, Lu Sheng looked directly at her eldest brother, "The underage girl in the photo who was blurred out, that’s me."
