Chapter 628: At the Table

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lu Zhen’s grandfather was already sitting at the top of the table. When he saw

Lu Zhen and Jiang Kai, he nodded slightly. “Come and sit beside me.”

In China’s traditional culture, the two seats facing the door at the dining table were the most honorable. Lu Zhen and Jiang Kai did not dare to sit beside their grandfather, so they sat on the other side.

Jiang Kai wanted to sit next to his grandfather, but the old man asked him to get up. “Let your sister sit beside me. I get annoyed when I see you.”

Jiang Kai was speechless for a moment and said unhappily, “Grandpa, you can be biased, but can you not be so obvious?!”

Jiang Kai’s words amused a few elders. Someone teased, “Xiao Kai, your sister has just returned. Your grandfather naturally wants to sit closer to her. Don’t feel too aggrieved.”

“Who asked the Old Master to be so strict with Xiao Kai since he was young? Now that his sister is back and the Old Master is biased, Xiao Kai naturally feels aggrieved.”

When the old man heard this, he snorted. “What are you aggrieved about? What’s there to be aggrieved about? Are you not allowed to eat at the table, or are you not allowed to pick up your chopsticks? Sit properly!’

His last sentence was so loud that Jiang Kai straightened his back and sat down obediently.

Lu Zhen sat beside her grandfather nervously. She vaguely felt that the other elders in the family were looking at her more politely. It seemed that her grandfather still valued her very much. He had specially asked her to sit beside him to express his attitude.

Lu Zhen had been lost since she was young. Her mother had passed away, and her father had never cared about family matters. She had just returned, so perhaps some relatives with other thoughts would look down on her. As soon as Jiang Ce expressed his stance, those people would naturally put away their thoughts.

Lu Zhen looked at the relatives with friendly smiles and naturally did not think that everyone had absolute goodwill towards her.

She swept her gaze around and saw He Hong sitting beside Jiang Fei. He Hong was leaning her head slightly towards Jiang Fei, as if she was sharing something interesting with Jiang Fei. She smiled as she spoke.

The people sitting beside Jiang Fei and He Hong didn’t seem to feel that there was anything wrong with the atmosphere between the two of them. This meant that in the Jiang family, everyone thought that Jiang Fei and He Hong were just siblings.

This also meant that He Hong had hidden her thoughts very well all these years.

Lu Zhen retracted her gaze.

The meal was very lively, and the topic at the dining table never stopped. At first, the topic naturally revolved around Lu Zhen. However, since it was inconvenient for everyone to talk about her profession, and they could not talk about how she had been doing all these years, they could only talk about her preferences.

Lu Zhen answered the relatives’ questions one by one. Although she did not like to take the initiative to socialize, she still performed very well when she had to socialize.

Jiang Kai was afraid that Lu Zhen would be too tired from dealing with her relatives, so he took the initiative to change the topic to himself. Only then did Lu Zhen heave a sigh of relief and start to eat attentively.

The Jiang family’s chefs were quite good. Although not every dish matched Lu Zhen’s taste, they were all delicious. The meal took more than an hour. If not for the dining table’s automatic heating function, the food would have turned cold.

After dinner, Lu Zhen looked at her grandfather’s slightly tired expression. After all, the old man was already old. Even if his body was not bad, he did not have enough energy. Jiang Ce quickly returned to his room to rest. Lu Zhen and Jiang Kai returned to the east courtyard and sat on the sofa in the living room to chat about Lu Zhen’s childhood.

When Lu Zhen went missing, Jiang Kai was not old. He had learned about Lu Zhen’s childhood from Jiang Hai and Jiang Fei.

“You might not know, but my father gave me the name Jiang Ning back then.

But who knew that I was a man? He was so depressed.”

Lu Zhen was quite refreshed to hear this. She held her chin and looked at Jiang

Kai with interest.

Jiang Kai was silent for a moment before saying, “In fact, if you weren’t a big star, once you returned home, Grandpa would definitely ask you to change your name back. Then, he would hold a banquet and invite all the famous local figures and some business partners of the Jiang family to celebrate your return. He would let everyone know that the real eldest daughter of the Jiang family has returned.”

Jiang Kai sighed. “Unfortunately, you’re a big star, so Grandpa has to repeatedly remind the people in the family who have seen you not to reveal your true identity. Many people who have a good relationship with our Jiang family probably don’t know that you’re back..”
