Lu Qiuran smiled, but in the next second, her smile gradually faded. “But the heavens didn’t bless my father. His wife gave birth to a girl and died of hemorrhage. My father brought his daughter up alone. When she was a year old, she was snatched away by human traffickers. He could no longer find his daughter. I believe that she must still be in this world. Now that the Internet is so developed, 1 hope that you can spread it out. I also hope that my father can reunite with his biological daughter in this lifetime.”
When Lu Qiuran touched on the emotional part, tears streamed down her face.
Mu Xue, Chu Nan, Sui Yuan, and Wang Zixiao all revealed touched expressions.
The fans in the live-streaming room were also moved to tears.
As for Wu Ju, after entering the kitchen, he prepared to wash the fungi.
Jiang Tongtong was ostracized and no one would speak up for her.
Seeing Wu Ju return, Jiang Tongtong immediately went to get his basket. Seeing that there were some signs of him falling, she asked with concern, “Master Lu, did you fall? Are you alright?”
Jiang Tongtong took the basket. “I’ll wash it. Sit down and rest for a while. If you want to go to pick fungi next time, you can let me go. 1 can tell what’s edible and what’s not.”
Lu Qiuran knew from a young age that she was adopted, and so did Jiang Tongtong.
She was adopted by the Jiang family when she was five years old. She could already remember things, so after she was adopted, she had always known how to be grateful. Mrs. Jiang hoped that she could shine and be talented, so she trained hard in the piano and became a talented girl. However, in fact, what she liked was painting, but she did not want to disappoint her adoptive parents.
Jiang Tongtong was knowledgeable. She was not born with knowledge. She learned it through hard work.
The Jiang couple wanted a daughter with talents, so they took a fancy to the obedient and sensible Jiang Tongtong in the orphanage, hoping that she could make them proud.
Wu Ju nodded slightly. “If you’re bored, you can go out to work with me tomorrow.”
Jiang Tongtong’s eyes were filled with joy. “Yes, yes. Master Lu, feel free to order me around. I’m not afraid of hardship.”
If she stayed here, she would feel suffocated. Because Lu Qiuran ostracized her, the friends Lu Qiuran invited would not interact with her either. She was too depressed. Over the past two nights, she had to take double the amount of sleeping pills to sleep.
However, no one could relate to her. Jiang Tongtong looked at Wu Ju. She felt that Wu Ju seemed to have seen through her, but how was that possible? No matter what, it was really good that she could escape from suffocation.
While Lu Qiuran was telling a story, Jiang Tongtong happily went to wash the fungi.
Wu Ju was also preparing other dishes.
When Jiang Tongtong came back after washing the fungi, she added them to the pot. The soup was milky white. The fresh fungi were also delicious. Coupled with a vegetable cabbage and shredded potatoes, it looked simple but delicious.
Wu Ju said that it was time to eat.
Lu Qiuran had already composed herself and came in with a smile to help carry the dishes.
Jiang Tongtong wanted to help, but she was forced to sit down by Lu Qiuran. “You’re all guests. How can I let guests do the work? Sit down.”
The audience all praised her for being polite.
Jiang Tongtong felt very ill at ease. The depression that killed her had accumulated since she was young.
However, no one could see her struggle. Just like now, her face was pale. In Lu Qiuran’s live-streaming room, the fans were all scolding her for giving Lu Qiuran a hard time.
Wu Ju’s expression was cold as he took the bowl and chopsticks from Lu Qiuran. “Go and sit down too. You are a guest too.”
When Wu Ju said this, Lu Qiuran immediately wanted to cry, but she did not retort or complain. She was just a good daughter who was obedient to her adoptive father.
On the chat, everyone pointed their fingers at Wu Ju and cursed.
Wang Zixiao and the others were secretly looking at their phones, so they naturally knew. Therefore, their expressions were a little strange, as if they were angry and holding back something.
Wu Ju did not care. He distributed bowls and chopsticks to everyone.
Wu Ju knew the laws of this world and could use it to his advantage. He was not afraid of being scolded because he knew that before long, all the voices would change.
After sitting down to eat, Wu Ju did not speak again.
Mu Xue looked up as if she had been suppressing her emotions for a long time and finally couldn’t take it anymore. “Master Lu, you were the one who raised Qiuran. Although she’s not your biological daughter, she’s still your daughter, right? Why did you say that she’s a guest?”
Wu Ju looked up at Mu Xue. His cold and serious expression actually made Mu Xue a little afraid. Wang Zixiao, Chu Nan, and Sui Yuan also wanted to speak, but when they saw Wu Ju’s expression, they held back.
Lu Qiuran seemed to know why. She quickly pulled Mu Xue nervously. “Xue, stop it.”
Her humble tone made it seem like she was used to being treated coldly.
Everyone thought that Wu Ju would at least explain something.
Unexpectedly, Wu Ju only said coldly and seriously, “Don’t talk while eating.”
After saying this, Wu Ju did not even look at Mu Xue. He slowly picked up some food and ate. After he finished a bowl of rice, he went to refill it. He glanced at Jiang Tongtong’s empty bowl and scooped a spoonful for her..
