477: Chapter 447 Birthday Banquet_1 477: Chapter 447 Birthday Banquet_1 Lu Chuan was dragged into the villa’s bathroom.

Fortunately, Zhu Keren didn’t have the habit of bathing with her husband, or he really wouldn’t have known how to respond.

After a token bath, Lu Chuan came out from the bathroom and saw that Zhu Keren had laid out new clothes for him, including underwear.

He couldn’t help but praise Zhu Keren’s thoughtfulness inside; Chu Feng was truly blessed by his ancestors to have found such a wife.

After changing clothes, Lu Chuan went to the living room and saw that Zhu Keren had also changed into a beautiful dress, applied light makeup, and put on lipstick, which added a few touches of liveliness to her appearance.

When Lu Chuan appeared, Zhu Keren got up from the sofa, approached him, and naturally took Lu Chuan’s hand, saying, “Let’s hurry over to Grandma’s place, or we’ll probably get an earful for being late.”

Lu Chuan nodded.

He couldn’t just start asking Zhu Keren about the jade remnant; that would definitely raise suspicions.

He had to wait for a proper opportunity.

Until then, he could only follow Zhu Keren’s arrangements.

Hand in hand, the two left the villa.

Lu Chuan felt somewhat strange holding someone else’s wife’s hand, making him feel uncomfortable.

However, Zhu Keren’s hand was delicate and soft, and it felt very nice to hold.

To keep up appearances, he just had to take this small advantage of Zhu Keren.

The two headed to the garage, where Zhu Keren drove towards the Zhu family’s old mansion.

As Hibiscus City’s leading wealthy family, naturally, many people wanted to establish good relations with the Zhu family.

So, for Old Mrs.

Zhu’s birthday, nearly half of the city’s elite came to offer their congratulations.

When Lu Chuan and Zhu Keren arrived at the Zhu family’s old mansion, the place was already surrounded by all kinds of luxury cars, revealing the incredible scope of the Zhu family’s connections.

Zhu Keren led Lu Chuan into the Zhu family’s old mansion, and immediately many people’s gazes turned towards them, followed by hushed conversations among some.

“Isn’t that Chu Feng?

I heard he disappeared over a month ago, with rumors saying he had died outside.

How come he has suddenly reappeared?”

“This guy is the disgrace of our Zhu family.

I really don’t know what Zhu Keren sees in such a loser.

It would be better if he had died out there.

Now he’s come back only to be a nuisance for us.”

“Last year at the old lady’s birthday banquet, this guy was made fun of by Shao Lei and got so furious he actually started a fight.

This loser, a son-in-law who came into the family through marriage, has no real skills and was thoroughly beaten by Shao Lei.

I can’t believe Zhu Keren has brought him again this year.

How shameless.”

“Shao Lei is a bona fide Martial Artist, and on top of that, a renowned Transcendent Realm skillful expert!

People in the martial arts world say Shao Lei is a prodigy, and he might even break through to that legendary Profound Realm in the future.

Chu Feng, who’s nothing but a joke, how could he possibly stand against Shao Lei?

He must’ve been out of his mind to dare start a fight with him.”

…

Although these discussions were in hushed tones, Lu Chuan, with his far superior hearing, overheard them.

From their discussions, he came to understand Chu Feng’s status in the Zhu family.

Chu Feng was considered so useless by everyone that even the servants looked down on him, thinking he was a deadbeat who hit the jackpot by being favored by Zhu Keren, thus becoming the Zhu family’s son-in-law.

It’s no wonder Chu Feng was so easily deceived by the scam group and even harbored ambitions of making a career there, to gain some respect.

Being looked down upon by everyone could indeed push one to extremes.

Zhu Keren seemed to have overheard some of the surrounding conversations as well.

She was accustomed to it by now, so she chose to ignore them and even comforted Lu Chuan, saying, “Don’t mind those idle talkers.

Let them say what they want, as long as we are true to ourselves, that’s enough.”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “It’s okay, I’m different from before, my psychological resilience has improved a lot.”

The two of them arrived at the courtyard of the old mansion and, in order to not let the surrounding people affect their mood, directly found a corner to sit down in.

Even so, there were still many people looking over at them and incessantly discussing the matter.

After all, from any angle, Zhu Keren could be described as a favored daughter of heaven; whether in terms of appearance or ability, she was among the top in the entire Hibiscus City.

Chu Feng, on the other hand, was a thorough waste, and the two did not seem like a match at all.

Naturally, they easily became a topic for others to discuss.

In fact, Lu Chuan did not understand either.

Although he did not know Zhu Keren well, even from this brief interaction, he could feel Zhu Keren’s gentleness and consideration.

He could not figure out why such an outstanding woman would take a fancy to Chu Feng.

If it were not for the fear of exposing his identity, he even wanted to ask Zhu Keren, “How exactly did you come to like me?”

They had sat down for only a short while when a young man with a rather handsome look and a strong aura approached them.

This person was none other than the Zhu family’s eldest young master, Zhu Shaolei.

Zhu Shaolei was Zhu Keren’s brother, the son of her uncle Zhu Dachang.

In the current Zhu family, Old Mrs.

Zhu still held the power.

Although Zhu Dachang was the most likely candidate to become the next Family Head of the Zhu family, he could not assume that position until Old Mrs.

Zhu said the word.

Moreover, Old Mrs.

Zhu always valued the abilities of the younger generation in the family.

As long as one had sufficient ability, it would not be out of the question for her to skip Zhu Dachang’s generation and let someone younger run the family.

And in terms of ability within the Zhu family, Zhu Keren was acknowledged by all.

She hadn’t married out, but rather found someone to marry into her family.

Therefore, she fully had the potential to become the next Family Head of the Zhu family.

Exactly for this reason, Zhu Dachang and his son Zhu Shaolei harbored great animosity towards Zhu Keren, hoping to drive her out of the Zhu family.

Only by doing so could they smoothly take over control of the Zhu family from Old Mrs.

Zhu.

“Yo, isn’t this my waste of a brother-in-law?

I heard you disappeared for over a month, ah?

How come you didn’t die out there?

And you even specifically chose to come back during grandma’s birthday celebration.

Are you afraid grandma’s birthday won’t be annoying enough without you?” said Zhu Shaolei with a face full of mockery.

Zhu Keren frowned and told Zhu Shaolei, “Can’t you stop causing trouble here?

Today is grandma’s birthday celebration, and I don’t want to argue with you.

Just go away and don’t bother us.”

Zhu Shaolei sneered and said, “Me, causing trouble?

I wonder who it was last year that couldn’t handle a few words and got so angry they wanted to fight with me, ruining grandma’s birthday mood.

Today you’re bringing this eye-catching package here again, are you not afraid grandma will get angry?”

Zhu Keren was somewhat annoyed, “Are you ever going to stop?

Last year, if you hadn’t deliberately provoked Chu Feng, would he have gotten so angry?

Grandma isn’t a petty person.

She didn’t say Chu Feng couldn’t come, so what right do you have to gossip here?”

Zhu Shaolei snorted with laughter and said, “Grandma is indeed not a petty person, but that’s only in regard to those who are capable.

Certain wastes are definitely not included in that category.”

Zhu Keren was so angry she was about to explode.

At this point, Lu Chuan stood up and pulled Zhu Keren behind him.
