Chapter 124: Chapter 0124 Happy Birthday 4_1

Compared to his younger brother, Lu Tianjun was smarter and more worldly. He was turning thirteen after his birthday, and in the old times, that was no longer considered a child’s age. Added to this, he was the oldest grandson who was destined to bear greater responsibilities. Therefore, for the past half a year, Father Lu had been meticulously explaining to him most of the household affairs, educating him to understand the outside world and not be confounded by external opinions.

Father Lu had initially not told Tianjun about Wang Jiao’s covetousness for Lu Jiang, since it was admittedly ignominious. Coincidentally, however, Tianjun came home on the day of Wang Jiao’s visit and heard everything from behind the ox shed.

So, Father Lu told him about it, including his assessment of Wang Jiao.

She was unprincipled and unscrupulous, with a severely deficient character.

If not for her terrible character, what else could explain her determination to sow discord, despite knowing Lu Jiang was already engaged to his cousin?

There was another reason as well - Father Lu felt Wang Jiao was obstinate and would never give up on Lu Jiang, which would certainly cause more trouble in the future. Hence, it was time for Lu Tianjun to keep a close eye on her.

Often, adults like to take advantage of children.

Lu Tianzhi was young and rather naive, the easiest to manipulate.

If Tianjun did not know the truth, he might believe Wang Jiao merely because she was Feng Qingxue’s cousin. It was essential for him to understand what kind of person Wang Jiao really was.

Lu Tianjun liked and respected Feng Qingxue. He always believed that his uncle was fortunate to marry Feng Qingxue, not just for the uncle’s sake, but it was also a blessing for the grandfather and his brother. No one could be as kind-hearted as Feng Qingxue, nor could they sacrificially shoulder responsibilities like she did. He wouldn’t allow anyone to jeopardize the fortune of his family.

Therefore, when Wang Jiao turned up at his home, Lu Tianjun frowned, feeling displeased.

Feng Qingxue had just left, and Wang Jiao arrived - what was she up to?

Approaching the ox shed, Lu Tianjun heard his grandfather say, "Our daughter-in-law has sent us some New Year supplies, enough for us to have a good New Year. You can take back what you’ve brought, we can’t accept it."

Lu Tianjun instantly knew that Wang Jiao had come with the pretext of giving New Year gifts, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

In times of natural disasters and human calamities, supplies were scarce. Wang Jiao’s initial intention of bringing new year goods might have been kind, and anyone presenting such offerings to their family would be appreciated for a lifetime. But that was based on the premise that there was no ulterior motive behind it.

Wang Jiao, presenting her gifts with a hidden agenda, even if she offered a cartload of New Year supplies, would not earn his respect, nor his acceptance.

Wang Jiao, who had been indulged since childhood, couldn’t heed Father Lu’s refusal. Stomping her foot, she retorted, "Regardless, I have already brought it. Uncle Lu, whether you want it or not, you must accept it! I’m leaving!"

Having said that, she turned around intending to leave, only to spot Lu Tianjun and Lu Tianzhi.

Seeing the two brothers, Wang Jiao’s face turned cold. She humphed, shot them a disdainful look , then stomped off in the snow, leaving the basket she had brought at the door.

The thought that Lu Tianjun had inherited everything from Lu Jiang made Wang Jiao reluctant to be kind to him.

That was Lu Jiang’s hard-earned family property. Why should it go to his nephew?

The heir to the Lu Family should be the son she and Lu Jiang would have after their marriage.

Lu Jiang had not married in his previous life, so wasn’t her being reborn now a twist of fate? Since Lu Jiang had not married previously, she would not be considered a mistress. She would marry him under any circumstances, give birth to a bunch of sons before the implementation of the family planning policy. Once Lu Jiang had his own sons, he would surely not make his nephew the heir.
