Lulu felt aggrieved. "Why, Brother? Can't I look at her?"
Confused, Angela glanced at Lulu and found that she was really staring at her. She quickly touched her face and wiped her mouth. "Do I have something on my face?"
Arvin swallowed the food and slowly told her, "No, she is just jealous of your beauty."
Upon hearing Arvin's words, everyone at the table was speechless.
Beauty really was in the eyes of the beholder.
With a red face, Angela pinched Arvin, the mean man. Then, she muttered, "What do you mean? Lulu is very beautiful, okay?"
The Gu family had excellent genes, evident with all the three handsome sons and the gorgeous Lulu.
When she heard Angela's praise, Lulu smiled shyly. "Sister-in-law, you are so much nicer than my brother!"
After Lulu's words, Arvin raised his eyebrows and placed a skinned mantis shrimp in front of Angela. Then, he replied, "Your honest words are worthy of praise."
Lulu rolled her eyes.
At that moment, Aron, who was sitting silently next to them, suddenly put down his bowl and chopsticks. Then, he glared at Arvin. "Brother, I know you're lucky to have gotten married to Angela, but don't rub it in front of us single people!"
... Angela was shocked. She didn't think that Arvin was lucky to have her.
Arvin then put down his chopsticks and coldly looked at his brother. "I know you used to be fond of Angela. She is now your sister-in-law. Keep your jealousy to yourself."
Everyone was too shocked to say a word.
Wasn't Arvin overestimating... her charm? Angela tugged at Arvin's cuff awkwardly. Then, she opened her mouth and asked, "What are you saying? Aron... Brother-in-law has never made a move on me, okay? "
Aron chuckled at his brother's overprotectiveness. "You guys really make a cute couple. I am too scared to look at Angela in that way."
He admitted that when he met Angela for the first time, he was really attracted by her cute charm and liveliness. And he did intend to do something to win her affection.
But when his brother told him that he once saw Angela... in the washroom, he gave up his intention in no time.
Knowing that Arvin liked Angela, how could he compete with his brother?
With her fist on her lips, Teresa cleared her throat. "Aron, what are you doing? Stop teasing your brother, and eat up!"
After her words, Arvin and Aron picked up their chopsticks and continued having their meals.
Lily glanced at the brothers and said, "Aron is not as smart as Arvin."
Aron felt so sad to hear that. Aron placed his hand over his heart and said, "Grandma, I know you love Arvin more. But did you really have to say it out loud?"
Everyone knew that Arvin was Lily's favorite. Even their elder brother, the mayor of J City, came second to Arvin.
"Do you know why?" Lily finished the last mouthful of her porridge, handed the empty bowl to the servant, and wiped her mouth with the paper towel handed to her.
"Of course I know! It's because Arvin is an excellent doctor. He inherited your medical skills and can integrate Chinese and Western medicine. Apart from that, he also applied for patents for his inventions and made himself the director of the hospital. As a CEO, I am not as talented as Arvin. Am I right?" Aron responded.
Lily didn't deny but said, "The most important thing is..." She paused to take a look at Arvin and Angela. It seemed that Arvin paid little attention to their discussion, while Angela ate in silence. Then, Lily continued, "You missed the opportunity to win Angela's affection and make her your wife. In this regard, you have totally lost."
