"...Hmm?" Lu Sheng was slightly taken aback.
She didn’t know why her big brother looked so serious and spoke in such a solemn tone.
Though puzzled, Lu Sheng didn’t ask further, she just followed behind Lu Jingyan toward the living room.
However, upon entering the living room, she found it was full of people.
Apart from Jiang Ting, You Ming and You Ye were also in the living room. Her second brother had somehow returned home from the hospital, and her third brother, who was filming out of town, had also come back, all sitting around the sofa.
Even Li Muchen was there. He seemed to have just arrived at the Lu Family too, standing by the sofa and exchanging a glance with her. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Yet, besides them, there was also a stranger woman sitting on the sofa.
This woman appeared to be under thirty, with well-defined features and quite beautiful.
She had deep brown shoulder-length hair, with a shiny pearl necklace around her neck. Her black and white color-contrast suit skirt had a great sense of design, and she wore six-centimeter block-heeled shoes. She looked very fashionable and elegant in demeanor.
As soon as she saw Lu Sheng following behind Lu Jingyan, her eyes lit up immediately.
She stood up directly and walked towards Lu Sheng, seeming eager to grasp her hand, her tone somewhat excited, "Shengsheng, are you Shengsheng?"
—Shengsheng?
Despite being a stranger, she called her so intimately.
Lu Sheng almost instinctively stepped back, avoiding the contact, and very slightly furrowed her brows.
The woman noticed Lu Sheng’s instinctive avoidance and was first taken aback. Then a trace of pain emerged in her eyes as she slowly withdrew her hand.
Lu Sheng lifted her eyes, speaking with politeness and detachment: "Excuse me, may I ask who you are...?"
Upon hearing this, the woman seemed to come to terms with such an outcome.
She took a deep breath, looking at Lu Sheng with tearful eyes, and said, "Shengsheng, I’m Shi Erya, I’m your aunt."
—Aunt?
Hearing these two words, even Lu Sheng was stunned.
She subconsciously glanced at Jiang Ting and Li Muchen, who apparently had already heard the purpose of the other party. Almost unable to intervene, they could only listen from the side.
"Shengsheng, I know seeing me and hearing what I said so suddenly must be very confusing for you."
"I don’t know if your mom ever mentioned our family to you before..."
Standing in front of Lu Sheng, Shi Erya’s tone was somewhat choked,
"But Shengsheng, I truly am your aunt; I’m your mom’s only sister."
"Do you know Chenshi Pharmaceutical? The founder of Chenshi, Shi Mingxiu, is your grandfather, and the current chairman, Shi Chengyun, is your uncle."
...Aunt, mom’s sister?
Shi Mingxiu, Shi Chengyun, grandfather, uncle?
What on earth...
Lu Sheng opened her mouth and after a while finally managed to say, "Miss Shi, you must be mistaken. My mother’s surname is Du, not Shi."
Hearing her say this, Shi Erya seemed to recall something sad, her eyes reddened again, and she hastily started to explain.
