Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 251

They asked if the director’s team had paid Lu Yang.

The money was definitely provided, but it wasn’t much, and Sheng Fei naturally didn’t have the intention to share this with them.

It truly confirmed the saying that when one is poor in a busy city, no one asks, but when one is rich in the mountains, distant relatives come to visit.

Sheng Fei didn’t expect Xu Yuxia and Lu Jiefang to invite them to eat dinner together.

After sending off Xu Yuxia and Lu Jiefang, Lu Ting came to discuss things with Sheng Fei.

These days, Lu Ting had been discussing with Sheng Fei about everything. He felt that since Sheng Fei was like a family to them, it was natural for him to discuss things with her.

“Do you think we should go this time? It seems like my brother and sister-in-law are quite sincere.”

Sheng Fei purposely probed Lu Ting’s attitude. After all, Xu Yuxia and Lu Jiefang were Lu Ting’s eldest brother and sister-in-law, also his relatives. Sheng Fei wanted to see how Lu Ting felt about them.

If Lu Ting believed it was worth maintaining a good relationship with Xu Yuxia, then Sheng Fei would adjust her strategy.

“What’s the point in going with them? I’ve already seen through their character. If we can avoid them, let’s do it. But if you want to eat their food, we can go.”

“But they are still your eldest brother and sister-in-law, and your parents are there after all.”

Sheng Fei probed again, wanting to see Lu Ting’s stance and plans.

If Lu Ting was the type of person who was filial to the point of foolishness, obeying his parents unconditionally no matter how they treated him, then Sheng Fei wouldn’t agree with him. However, she was pleasantly surprised by how resolute Lu Ting was this time.

No matter how Sheng Fei changed her words, Lu Ting was adamant about not getting involved.

“To have this kind of brother and sister-in-law, it’s all the same whether they exist or not.”

Whenever Lu Ting thought about the dirty things Xu Yuxia and the others had done, he felt a surge of anger inside.

Lu Ting had no desire to be associated with such eldest brother and sister-in-law or parents, so after Sheng Fei’s probing, she noticed Lu Ting’s indifference and coldness.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn’t want to get involved with them.

“Well, I don’t want to either. Since you don’t want to, then let’s not go.”

In reality, Xu Yuxia and Lu Jiefang inviting them to dinner was merely a way to discuss the matter of their child being chosen by the director.

They likely wanted to ask for recommendations for their Jixiang and Ruyi, but Sheng Fei knew Xu Yuxia’s nature well.

Without benefits, would she rush to help them?

Such relatives were better off avoided for life.

She had directly refused Xu Yuxia’s invitation to go to their house for dinner, but this time, Xu Yuxia and Lu Jiefang were persistent. They invited them repeatedly.

They came once today, and again the next day, claiming how much their parents missed them and wanted to see the five children.

Xu Yuxia and Lu Jiefang had even brought their parents up, trying to gauge Lu Ting’s attitude. They visited every day with great enthusiasm.

Sheng Fei felt extremely annoyed by them, so at times when they came, Sheng Fei would simply shut the door and not let them in.

Yet, Xu Yuxia shamelessly called out from the door, insisting that they would come regardless.

Hearing them, Sheng Fei felt truly disgusted by these people.
