Jin Yan looked at the door and said, "Who would come at this hour?"
Lu Jinyue placed the chicken he was holding into Yu Han's bowl and said, "Mom, I'll get the door."
Jiang Nuan and Yu Han looked towards the door.
Seeing Jin Muya enter, Jiang Nuan was slightly taken aback.
Why was she here?
Jin Yan hadn't returned to the Jin family in a long time and hadn't seen these nieces in ages.
She didn't recognize Jin Muya.
Lu Jinyue didn't know Jin Muya either. He looked at his sister and said, "Nuan Nuan, this young lady says she's looking for you."
Jiang Nuan: "!!"
Didn't her cousin recognize her?
Jin Muya looked at the luxurious manor villa of the Lu family, located in the best area of Modu.
She hadn't expected the Lu family could afford such a location.
Although their Lu family was the foremost family, in the eyes of the Jin family, it was merely a fabrication by outsiders.
After all, Modu had countless wealthy individuals.
Of course, their Lu family was also on the list of the wealthy.
The Lu family was very low-key, and the Jin family had always looked down on them.
For such a luxurious house, their Jin family would hesitate for a long time even if they wanted to buy it.
It was their grandmother who was too insular, filling their minds with information about their uncle being a nouveau riche.
This caused the entire Jin family to look down on the Lu family.
Jin Muya looked at Jin Yan, "Auntie, you saw me when I was little, don't you recognize me?"
Jin Yan: "..."
She took a closer look at Jin Muya before tentatively asking, "Are you Muya?"
Jin Muya was delighted that her aunt recognized her, "Auntie, I am Muya."
"Oh!" Jin Yan responded with a less-than-enthusiastic "Oh."
Lu Chengs's expression suddenly darkened, the insults from his two elder brothers-in-law all those years ago vivid in his mind.
Jin Muya: "..."
She felt very unwelcome.
"Muya, have you had dinner?" Jin Yan didn't want the relationship between the two families to worsen.
Since she had come to their doorstep, it was only polite to host her.
Jin Muya glanced at Jiang Nuan, who was sitting quietly. Upon first glance, she exuded an aura of immense brilliance.
It was because she knew Dr. Song that she remembered Jiang Nuan might know that doctor, which was why she had come to the Lu family.
"Auntie, I haven't eaten yet." She also wanted to ask Jiang Nuan in front of everyone.
She should tell her about that doctor.
Jin Tong was also Jiang Nuan's aunt. No matter what, she wouldn't watch her aunt die without doing anything.
Jin Yan: "Then come and eat with us. Don't be picky; we only have simple fare here."
"Thank you, Auntie!" Jin Muya walked over with a smile.
Lu Jinyue pulled out a chair for her to sit, placing her right next to Mu Jiuchen.
Mu Jiuchen smelled Jin Muya's rather strong perfume and frowned slightly. He stood up and switched seats with Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Nuan blinked her beautiful eyes. Mu Jiuchen lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "I'm sitting closer to Dad, it's easier to talk!"
Jiang Nuan caught the faint scent of alcohol on him. He had drunk a lot tonight.
When they returned tonight, it would surely consume most of her physical strength.
Jin Muya: "..."
Wasn't this action too insulting?
Jiang Nuan got a bowl and chopsticks for Jin Muya and said, "Eat."
"Thank you, Nuan Nuan!" Jin Muya looked at the Lu family members, each one a delight to the eye.
Jin Yan introduced, "This is Lu Jinyue, my eldest son, and sitting next to him is his wife, Yu Han. Lu Jincheng, my second son. Our third son isn't here. Nuan Nuan and Xiao Jiu, you know them already."
Jin Muya greeted them with a smile and then lowered her head to eat.
Despite being relatives, from her memory, her aunt rarely visited.
Even when she did visit later, she went alone and didn't stay long.
Lu Chengs's face remained grim; he had lost the mood to even drink.
Midway through the meal, Jin Muya felt the atmosphere was rather strange. She smiled awkwardly and looked at Jiang Nuan, saying, "Nuan Nuan, you know Dr. Song, right?"
Her informant at the hospital had seen Jiang Nuan with Dr. Song.
Jiang Nuan: "Yes! I know him!"
She had a rough idea why Jin Muya had come.
"It's like this, Auntie has a tumor in her stomach. It's still treatable, but the doctor Dr. Song knows doesn't want to treat Auntie. Nuan Nuan, if you know that doctor, could you please give me his contact information?"
Jin Muya looked at Jiang Nuan pleadingly.
Auntie absolutely couldn't have anything happen to her. Her children were all abroad, and there was no one to care for her now.
She also wanted to do something for her aunt. Her aunt had promised her a dowry,
ensuring her financial security after marriage.
Although she was also from a wealthy family, if she wanted to marry into a wealthy family again, she needed a bargaining chip.
Before Jiang Nuan could speak, Lu Chengs said sarcastically, "Your Jin Tong is so resourceful, and your Jin family has eyes everywhere. Why are you coming to my Lu family for help?"
"Uncle, Auntie's illness is very serious. She's been in a bad mood lately. Even if there's a huge feud, shouldn't it be put aside in the face of life?"
Jin Muya looked at her uncle's anger, truly surprised.
She was getting a little angry herself!
"Uncle, as long as someone has a heart, they should help her at this time."
"Should?" Lu Chengs sneered, looking at Jin Muya and shouting, "How did Jin Tong insult me back then? She said that even if I were so poor I couldn't afford to eat, even if I starved to death, I shouldn't tell anyone that I was the son-in-law of the Jin family!"
Jin Muya: "..."
Did Aunt Jin Tong really say that?
From her memory, Aunt Jin Tong had always been very domineering.
When Lu Jincheng and Lu Jinyue heard this, their gazes were unfriendly towards Jin Muya.
Jin Muya, encountering their stares, also looked displeased.
She could only place her hope on Jiang Nuan, "Nuan Nuan, although Aunt Jin Tong speaks harshly, everything she does is for the sake of the Jin family. She's worked hard all these years, her diet is irregular, and that's why she got sick."
"If you know that doctor, please tell me her contact information."
Jiang Nuan's beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, "I'm sorry, I don't know who you're looking for?"
Jiang Nuan coldly refused.
Jin Muya bit her lip, glancing resentfully at Jiang Nuan. She knew Jiang Nuan definitely knew who it was, but she wouldn't say.
"Nuan Nuan, why must you be so heartless? Although Auntie speaks rudely, she hasn't done anything to you?" Jin Muya still didn't give up.
"Heh heh..." Lu Chengs laughed in anger. "Does my darling need to be done something to before it counts? A few days ago, you bullied my Nuan Nuan at the hospital, and I haven't settled accounts with Jin Tong yet!" Lu Chengs, having drunk a bit, became impulsive when faced with unpleasant matters.
Jin Muya, being someone who valued her reputation, also stood up abruptly upon hearing her uncle's words. She looked at everyone at the table and said angrily, "We are all family, why be so heartless? Today, I've witnessed your heartlessness, and I truly understand Grandma's reasoning. How wise it was to sever ties with you."
After speaking, Jin Muya left in anger.
