Before Lu Jinfeng returned home, the atmosphere of the entire Lu family could be regarded as harmonious.
Mrs. Lu took Wen Jianing's hand and sat on the sofa, and put out a lot of snacks for him to eat this for a while, and that for a while.
Lu Yanyue was full of curiosity about him. After hearing that he had acted in a TV series, she immediately took out her tablet and went online to find the TV series starring him.
Seeing that Tongtong had been staying by Wen Jianing's side, Lu Jinxin waved to him, "Come here, Dad."
Tong Tong glanced at him, raised his hand and hugged Wen Jianing's waist.
Lu Jinxin couldn't help cursing, "Damn boy."
This atmosphere continued until Lu Jinfeng returned home. He was away on a errand for nearly a month, and when he returned home, he was in a dusty situation, and knowing that his daughter was coming back, he felt like an arrow.
Dinner is ready. Those who can be put on the table will be put on the table first, and those who cannot be put on the table will be heated on the stove with a small fire. Kang Huanxian stood by the door and looked out from time to time, waiting for her husband to come home.
After about an hour, Kang Huanxian walked out of the house and shouted, "Jinfeng!"
Lu Jinfeng walked over with his luggage in his hand, and hugged his wife gently as he passed by.
Kang Huanxian wanted to help him with the luggage, but he didn't give it to her, and continued walking towards the house with the suitcase by herself.
"Dad!" Lu Yanyue rushed over, hugged Lu Jinfeng and turned around.
Lu Jinfeng was also excited when he saw his daughter, but seeing her face with heavy makeup, he almost couldn't recognize anyone. His excitement was a little complicated for a while, and he frowned and said, "What are you doing?"
Lu Yanyue was not afraid of him, she smiled and held his hand, "I'm back!"
Everyone in the room stood up, and when Lu Jinfeng saw a stranger, he was stunned for a moment, and then he recognized Wen Jianing.
He has seen Wen Jianing's photos on the Internet, but he has never felt so pure and simple as today.
Wen Jianing greeted politely: "Hello, Brother Lu."
Lu Jinfeng lost his temper and didn't show his face. After all, everyone was waiting for him to come back for dinner. He didn't want to spoil the atmosphere as soon as he came back, so he nodded to Wen Jianing.
He asked Lu Jinfeng to help him bring his luggage upstairs and put it down, and then said, "Come over and sit down, everyone is hungry after waiting for so long, let's have dinner first."
A table of people sat around the table, Lu Jinfeng just glared at Lu Jinlang, did not invite Wen Jianing to sit down, nor did he embarrass him.
Mrs. Lu pulled Wen Jianing to sit beside her.
Lu Jinfeng has to say a few words as usual, but today he just picked up his chopsticks and said, "Eat."
Lu Jinfeng's deliberate indifference will not make Wen Jianing feel uncomfortable. Today, he is ready to be made difficult by the Lu family. This is much better than he imagined, and the enthusiasm of the old lady around him makes him a little overwhelmed. , because Lu Jinfeng's eyes kept glancing this way.
The old lady put fish for him, "Come on, you like to eat fish, be careful of the thorns."
Wen Jianing took the bowl carefully.
Lu Jinlang put a hand lightly on his shoulder and said, "Just be casual, just treat it like your own home."
Wen Jianing nodded.
Lu Jinfeng didn't plan to have a seizure at the dinner table. He planned to talk to Lu Jinlang and the others alone after eating. He turned his head and asked Lu Yanyue how she was studying.
However, Lu Yanyue changed the subject and said, "Dad, the third uncle is amazing!"
Lu Jinfeng's face froze, "What's so powerful?"
Lu Yanyue hadn't noticed that he was angry, and said, "Uncle San has found a boyfriend, isn't he very cool?"
Kang Huanxian pulled her daughter, "Stop talking, let's eat."
"What's the matter?" Lu Yanyue said, "Don't discriminate against homosexuals, I have friends who are homosexuals, what does it matter?"
Lu Jinfeng finally couldn't hold back his anger, put down his chopsticks heavily, and shouted to Lu Yanyue, "Shut up!"
Lu Yanyue was startled and looked at Lu Jinfeng.
Lu Jinfeng first took out his anger at her, "Look at your appearance, you're not a ghost or a ghost! I didn't learn anything when I went out, and made all the mess, what kind of gay friends? What a thing to be proud of! Go up and wash your face for me, what are you pretending to be!"
Lu Yanyue was scolded for a bit stunned, then stood up and said, "How can you say that?"
Lu Jinfeng said, "I'm your father, why can't I tell you?"
Lu Yanyue said angrily, "I didn't do anything wrong? You just don't like my dress and discriminate against my friends, so you make unreasonable demands on me. You are autocratic!"
Kang Huanxian stood up and held Lu Yanyue, and persuaded Lu Jinfeng, "Don't talk about it, it's rare for my daughter to come back, and the family eats together, what is the quarrel."
Lu Jinlang said at this time, "Brother, if you have something to say, just tell me directly, don't lose your temper at Xiaoyue."
Lu Jinfeng really had something to say to him: "Okay, what are you talking about, what I said last time was just off my ears, right? Everyone brought it home, what are you thinking about?"
He reached out and pointed at Wen Jianing, but he didn't get angry at Wen Jianing.
Because today's Wen Jianing looks like a simple student, about the same age as his daughter. In Lu Jinfeng's view, Lu Jinlang is the one who plays the leading role in their relationship. In other words, the other party is still young and immature. Lu Jinlang, a man in his thirties, should not be sober anymore.
Lu Jinlang replied to Lu Jinfeng: "I brought him to see his family, and I want your approval."
Lu Jinfeng said, "I won't approve, take him away!"
At this time, Mrs. Lu said, "I approve!"
"Mom," Lu Jinfeng felt helpless, "don't make trouble."
The old lady said, "Why do I call trouble? I am also a member of his family, and I have the right to express my own opinion."
"Yes," Lu Yanyue said immediately, "I support grandma!"
Lu Jinfeng ignored his daughter at all, and just said to his mother, "Mom, you don't know, what will they face if they get together? They are both public figures, and they will definitely be exposed, and the whole country will know that the two men are together. Together, they are not so tolerant at this time, and you can't imagine the pressure they will have to bear!"
At this time, Mrs. Lu said, "I don't know, I don't understand! I only know that if my parents weren't so tolerant back then, there wouldn't be any of you at all!"
There was a brief silence at the table.
After a little hesitation, Lu Jinxin put down his chopsticks and stood up to persuade.
Lu Jinfeng glanced at him and said, "It's none of your business, sit down!"
The old lady Lu was very angry and said, "Jinfeng, you can't be so stubborn about this matter, you have to put yourself in your brother's shoes!"
Lu Jinfeng said, "I'm just thinking of him, otherwise I wouldn't stop them from dying!"
Wen Jianing was a little excited to see the old man, stood up to help her, and wanted her to sit down and talk slowly. In the end, it was fine that he didn't fall down. He stretched out his hand to support him, and the old lady suddenly stretched out her hand to cover her chest and shouted, "Oh!" as if she was out of breath.
Wen Jianing was taken aback and said, "Xiao He? What's wrong with you?"
The old lady clutched her chest and fell down on Wen Jianing.
Wen Jianing was at a loss, so he could only hug her, turned his head and said to Lu Jinlang, "Call an ambulance?"
Lu Jinlang stood up at this moment, stretched out his hand to support the old lady, and said, "It's alright, let me come." He carried his mother to lie down on the sofa, and the whole family hurriedly followed around.
But Wen Jianing was the only one who was really worried.
Lu Jinlang whispered in his ear, "Don't be nervous, my mother is cheating."
Wen Jianing was stunned for a moment.
Lu Jinlang went on to say, "She came to this trick if she couldn't win against my eldest brother. The family is used to it, but my eldest brother has no way to take her."
Sure enough, Lu Jinfeng knew that the old lady Lu was mostly pretending, but he still squatted in front of the sofa and held her hand, and said, "Mom, how do you feel?"
The old lady looked at him with complaining eyes, "You just want to piss me off."
Lu Jinfeng was very helpless.
Kang Huanxian whispered at this time: "Mom, don't do this, you make Jinfeng very embarrassed."
The old lady was silent for a while and said, "Anyway, I just want my family to be happy and happy."
Lu Jinfeng didn't answer her, just said, "Since you're not feeling well, then go up and lie down for a while."
The old lady didn't want to, but Lu Jinlang persuaded her, "Mom, take a break, eat your meal first, and let me talk to my eldest brother."
Wen Jianing also persuaded softly: "It's alright, I should also have a chat with Big Brother Lu, don't worry."
"That's it," the old lady had no choice but to say, "then do whatever you want."
Lu Jinfeng asked Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing to follow him to the study on the second floor.
Kang Huanxian said worriedly, "Let's eat first."
Lu Jinfeng said, "I have no appetite." Then he added, "Let's talk later."
In fact, Lu Jinfeng had already told Lu Jinlang what he wanted to say, and he didn't know what else to say to persuade this younger brother. Lu Jinlang has his own career and financial resources, and now his interference with him is actually very limited. And it's impossible for him to use any force to ruin his brother's career.
As for the young man, Lu Jinfeng looked at Wen Jianing. He had seen him on TV before. He didn't expect the real person to look younger. To say something harsh to blame him.
But what should be said is that Lu Jinfeng made his position clear, and spent a lot of time telling them how difficult this road would be in the future.
Wen Jianing just replied plainly, "I know."
Lu Jinfeng shook his head and said, "You are still too young."
Wen Jianing said to him: "But I have thought about our future. First of all, we do not plan to announce our relationship to everyone, because it is our own business; secondly, even if it is exposed by the media, Jinlang and I have enough capacity to face it. It doesn't matter who opposes us. We only need the support of our family. Besides, Brother Lu, don't worry about the relationship between you and Jinlang. The media and the public don't know, even if he is forced to come out, it won't affect your career."
After listening to him, Lu Jinfeng did say it after careful consideration. After a short silence, he said, "What about your career? Isn't it important? Aren't you afraid of ruining it?"
Wen Jianing replied: "I think Brother Lu underestimated the acceptability of the society, let's not talk about whether our relationship can be accepted or not, even if it is not at all, it is the price we should pay for this choice, I will calmly accept."
Lu Jinfeng looked at him and had to admit that the young man named Ke Xinhang in front of him was completely two people from the one he thought. He still had a lot to say. For example, he planned to tell Lu Jinlang that this young man might be with him for money, fame, or whatever benefit he could think of; or maybe he was too young and uncertain, Maybe in a few years, when Lu Jinlang gets old, he will get tired of this relationship and propose to break up. But seeing his firm eyes now, Lu Jinfeng felt that it was probably unnecessary to say it. The other party was mentally prepared and could definitely refute his words sentence by sentence.
So Lu Jinlang didn't say a word since he came in. He just sat next to him and looked at it with a relaxed expression. They really knew each other.
Lu Yanyue said that Lu Jinfeng was autocratic, but Lu Jinfeng was not too autocratic, otherwise he would not let the two younger brothers develop independently, and would not spoil their precious old lady like this.
Lu Jinfeng was a little upset. He wanted to find a compromise that would not only separate them, but not completely tear his face off with his younger brother. He lit a cigarette for himself, took a deep breath, put it on the ashtray, and said, "If you want me to agree, you can quit the show business and focus on taking care of my brother at home."
Wen Jianing was stunned for a moment, and he said, "I'm not a woman."
Lu Jinfeng said: "It is difficult for ordinary couples in the entertainment industry to be stable for a lifetime, not to mention your situation. Didn't you say you can bear the consequences? You can't bear it like this?"
Wen Jianing said, "That's the inevitable consequence."
Lu Jinfeng folded his hands on the desk, "I have to force it now, this is the only condition I agree to."
Lu Jinlang finally said, "Brother, don't go overboard."
Lu Jinfeng waved his hand, "I'm not interested in arguing with you, you can't convince me now, go back and think about it, I can wait for you to give me an answer."
Wen Jianing and Lu Jinlang looked at each other.
Lu Jinfeng pinched the bridge of his nose tiredly.
Lu Jinlang didn't have the heart to argue with him to the end at this time. He walked over and squeezed Wen Jianing's shoulder and said, "Let's go, go back first and talk about it."
It's not that there is no room for manoeuvre on Lu Jinfeng's side, Lu Jinlang believes, but now don't push him too hard, it's easy to say ruthlessly, but it's not easy to take back a man's ruthless words.
Going down from the second floor, Wen Jianing found that the whole family was still waiting for them at the table.
Seeing the old lady looking at him expectantly with her head raised, Wen Jianing shook her head gently.
The old lady suddenly felt lost, but then she stood up and said, "Let's eat first, I didn't finish the meal just now."
Kang Huanxian silently got up and ordered some food for her husband to go upstairs.
Wen Jianing had no appetite at first, but he didn't intend to spoil everyone, so he sat down at the table with Lu Jinlang. He came here today to prepare himself mentally. Lu Jinfeng was much more polite to him than he thought, and there was nothing he couldn't bear.
Lu Jinxin also rarely spoke, and said to him, "Eat more food."
Wen Jianing looked at the meat that the old lady helped him put into the bowl, and said, "Thank you."
The old lady looked at him and said, "The boss is a bit stubborn, but he still cares about the third, so don't be angry with him."
When the mother said that her son was old and stubborn, it was probably the only family.
Wen Jianing couldn't help but smile and said, "I know."
The old lady said, "Take your time, I will help convince him."
Wen Jianing picked up the bowl and nodded.
When he went back that night, Wen Jianing came out of the shower and sat on the bed in the bedroom, playing with the pair of bears on the bedside table.
After a while, Lu Jinlang came in after taking a shower, wearing only a pair of underwear, looking for pajamas in the closet.
Wen Jianing said, "Be careful of catching a cold, and put on your clothes quickly."
Lu Jinlang found the pajamas and said, "Are you in a bad mood?"
Wen Jianing shook his head, "No, it's actually better than I expected. At least your elder brother can sit down and communicate with me calmly."
Lu Jinlang got dressed and walked to his side, reached out and rubbed his head, "Don't think about it, you don't have to worry about this."
Wen Jianing said, "Don't treat me like a child."
Lu Jinlang was a little amused and sat down beside him, "Whoever dresses like that today makes my eldest brother can't bear to make things difficult."
Wen Jianing also smiled.
Lu Jinlang said to him, "It's fine, I'll handle this matter, you don't have to worry too much." After speaking, he put his arms around Wen Jianing's shoulder and kissed him lightly on the forehead.
