When Gu Shengsheng returned to the Lu family home, Second Madam Lu said sarcastically, "Well, well, look who it is. Always keeping us waiting for dinner."
"The family gets together for dinner once a week, but you, the good-luck bride, put on more airs than anyone. Sister-in-law, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to stand it."
"Then again, your Shi Jing has already passed away, so it's a wonder you managed to find a wife at all. As for our Chaoyang, who knows who he'll marry. Every girl is fighting for the chance."
Madam Lu smiled and said, "Younger Sister, your words can be a bit harsh. Shengsheng was only late because she was doing a good deed, helping out at the police station. When you're doing good, you don't worry about such things."
Gu Shengsheng walked over and sat beside Madam Lu, saying nothing.
'It was the first time she'd ever had the feeling of someone standing up for her.'
