Chapter 345: Someone Is About To Get Slapped
Right when Lu AnLing had left the group, Grandma Lu and Grandpa Lu had just entered the venue. It didn't take them long to find the Kang/Lu group and when they arrived, Grandma Lu immediately went to Elder Kang's side and greeted Elder Tang.
"Tang Haonan, it's been ages." Grandma Lu said calmly.
Hearing how softly and kindly, Grandma Lu said this, Elder Tang, who could not comprehend why she was here, and Grandpa Lu, who had both witnessed the one-sided bad blood between Lu Lili and Kang Guanting felt completely awkward.
"Hello Lili... how have you been?" Elder Tang said awkwardly.
Hearing this awkwardness, Grandma Lu frowned.
"Why are you being so weird? Have I done something to you?" Grandma Lu asked with slight annoyance.
Shaking his head, Elder Tang looked between Elder Kang and Grandma Lu.
Quickly catching this, Grandma Lu and Elder Kang exchanged looks.
Elder Kang: "I know you're confused but Lili and I have sorted out our differences. AnLing and Jun have married after all. We can't keep this grudge up forever."
Hearing this, Elder Tang was still confused at first. He knew what had sparked the hate between them. It was Lu Li Jing's bullying at the hands of Feng Zhengyi at first, but it was truly when Lu Li Jing had died that everything went out of hand. Elder Tang did not believe that a grudge so deep and big could be patched up so easily, but then, his mind finally registered something Elder Kang had said,
Kang Jun and Lu AnLing had married...
"Oh..." Elder Tang said as he looked at the two. "So you two are in-laws now, so you decided to put aside your differences... how mature."
Hearing the way Elder Tang said the word 'mature' made Elder Kang give him a look. Seeing this look from his old friend, the old man laughed out loud and then Elder Tang then looked straight at Grandma Lu and said, "I didn't mean anything by what I said. I only meant that considering Lili's personality, I thought she'd end up hating all the Kang's, even the children, forever..."
Grandma Lu frowned but since he wasn't wrong, all she could do is sigh. "I did... but Kang Jun is such a great boy. He's so smart, handsome and well mannered. How can I or anyone hate him?"
Hearing this, Elder Kang nodded vigorously, and then he began to speak, "It's the same with Lu AnLing. She is so kind and strong. To deal with Jun so seamlessly is like a superhuman ability. She's brought balance to the family by simply calming Jun's personality down."
After hearing Grandma Lu and Elder Kang compliment each other's respective grandchildren, Elder Tang laughed even harder than before, "You're both complimenting the children as if they were your own grandchild."
"Of course, AnLing is a darling girl, no matter what happens between her and Jun, I will always take care of her!" Elder Kang said proudly.
"He married my granddaughter, so of course he's my grandson also!" Grandma Lu said just as proudly.
Hearing what the two had said almost simultaneously, Grandpa Lu frowned in the background. He didn't understand why Grandma Lu had changed so much or why Elder Kang loved Lu AnLing so much. He didn't like this development at all. He couldn't believe that after all the years of Grandma Lu hating Elder Kang and all of those who loved and cared for him, that her resentment had just disappeared, just like that!
To the man, this seemed like too much of a change... he was happy to see his wife smiling but he felt distant from her due to the fact that it felt like he was missing a big part of the story.
Meanwhile, Elder Tang and Grandma Lu continued to speak.
"I would have loved to have such a capable grandson and granddaughter myself!" Elder Tang laughed. "But it seems like Kang Jun only has eyes for Lu AnLing and vice versa."
Elder Kang laughed. "It kind of reminds me of how you were with Liane. Loving someone is a beautiful thing..."
When Elder Kang said the last sentence, he sounded a bit cold. This was because he was thinking about Lu Li Jing...
Looking and hearing the conversation between Grandma Lu, Elder Kang and Elder Tang, Lu Xiaoling and Tang Yian frowned, but it was Xu Shen, who had been trying to mediate between Lu Xiaoling and Tang Yian who had spoken.
"You three know each other?" Xu Shen asked.
Hearing this, Grandma Lu shrugged. "A long time ago. When Haonan was just a brat and Guanting was just a jerk."
Elder Kang didn't take Grandma Lu's words to heart but Elder Tang frowned and said, "What do you mean brat?"
"I mean you used to be all high and mighty. It's nice to see that in adulthood you've learned some humility." Grandma Lu laughed and then her eyes swept across the room. "Though a party like this was more your style in your younger years."
Unable to fight against Grandma Lu's correct knowledge of the past, the old man let it go and spoke.
"Well... I had no choice..." Elder Tang said bitterly.
Meanwhile, Lu Xia, Mo Sheng and Tang Bingyi, who were still surrounded by the Lu family, the Tang family, and the Kang family, watched as Lu AnLing walked towards Ning Jie, Tang Yiling and Gu Chu Nian, who most didn't know.
At first, when Tang Bingyi had first noticed what Tang Yiling had done, she was about to go over there and slap Tang Yiling herself. Her cousin was become more and more of a shame to the Tang family as the days went by. But when she saw Lu AnLing go over, Tang Bingyi saw that this situation was out of her hands. Frankly, the whole situation that would transpire that day was out of her hands. It was a fight between Tang Yiling and Lu AnLing and everyone else was just a piece on the playing field.
Noticing that Lu AnLing was gone, most of the adults turned to the group of kids but before they could ask anything they heard them speak, without restraint.
"Someone's getting in trouble!" Mo Sheng said with slight fear.
"Well, what did they expect," Lu Xia said with her arms crossed. "Acting so shamelessly at a birthday party. Why would she hit a random girl?"
Tang Bingyi's sighed and stared at Lu AnLing who was fast approaching Tang Yiling who seemed to be scolding Gu Chu Nian and said, "it's not a random girl. She's the event coordinator and she's a good one too. On short notice, she was able to do all the preparations necessary for the party. Tang Yiling has gone too far. No wonder AnLing is mad."
Hearing this, Elder Tang, followed by Elder Kang, went up to the children and Lu Xiaoling and Tang Yian, who had heard the names Tang Yiling and Lu AnLing in the same sentence had ceased their bickering and followed close behind.
Elder Tang's face was slightly pale as he heard that Tang Yiling had caused trouble again.
"What happened now?" The old man said to his granddaughter.
But it wasn't Tang Bingyi who replied. Instead, Lu Xia, who suddenly clapped her hands together, said, "Someone is about to get slapped!"
