At this moment.

Lu Fengshen, who was waiting for dinner outside, waited for about half an hour, but they still did not come out to eat. He was embarrassed to knock on the couple’s bedroom door and looked at the classic clock hanging on the wall again and again.

He regretted what he said earlier, he should not have let Lu Ming take his time.

It had been a busy morning, and he was so hungry that his chest was against his back.

His good education since childhood prevented him from putting down his chopsticks before everyone came over. He could not resist drinking half a bowl of his own soup, which relieved his hunger.

Lu Fengshen waited longer and longer. Looking at a table of delicious foods that were almost cold, he had no choice but to get up, intending to go to call them.

When he turned around, he saw Chi Qiu stumbling and rushing from the bedroom. Lu Ming followed closely behind, pulling Chi Qiu’s arm, afraid he would fall.

Chi Qiu whispered ‘annoying’ to Lu Ming: “Why didn’t you tell me earlier that uncle comes over?” If he knew, he would never delay like this.

What blow the hair, what shave the beard, the most important thing was, this was the uncle who took care of Lu Ming when he was young.

Lu Ming’s face was deflated. It was clearly Chi Qiu who hugged him just now, rubbed his chin, and said ambiguous words…

How was it he was wrong now?

Equally bewildered was Lu Fengshen who was holding his chopsticks. He never thought that his own nephew Lu Ming, who was cold in nature and seemed to be uninterested in anything——would have his life now be so colorful.

It was a great deal.

The flustered Chi Qiu apologized repeatedly, “Uncle, I’m the one who moved too slowly, I’m sorry.”

“No, it just so happens that the dishes are no longer hot.” Lu Fengshen answered affectionately, “Chi Qiu, you’re hungry, right? Come and eat.”

Lu Fengshen’s attitude was gentle, not the least bit angry. He good-naturedly put a bowl of soup in front of Chi Qiu and gestured to Lu Ming to take the initiative.

Seeing this, Lu Ming grabbed Chi Qiu’s hand and touched the edge of the bowl, “This is the soup that uncle made, try it.”

The aroma of the bone soup sprinkled with green onions was tempting, relieving the brief awkwardness of a long reunion at the table.

Chi Qiu really did not expect that Lu Fengshen could actually cook soup. He thought for a moment that an artist like Lu Fengshen didn’t have time to study cooking on a regular basis, and that the housemaid would do the cooking while he was fooling around.

“Thank you, uncle.” Chi Qiu found the soup fragrance, lowered his head and took a sip of the warm bone soup, and his eyes brightened up a lot.

This soup was better than Aunt Zhang’s!

Chi Qiu drank half the bowl in one go, and Lu Fengshen was so happy that he picked up a pair of clean chopsticks and put some boneless meat on his plate. Lu Fengshen was young, and when he saw Chi Qiu, his expression was full of the loving look of an elder looking at a younger generation: “Drink slowly. If not enough, there is some in the pot.”

“I’ve never had such delicious soup.” Chi Qiu said sincerely, but it sounded a bit exaggerated, like he was flattering him. When he realized it, he hurriedly explained, “It’s really good! Uncle, you’re such a good cook, did you learn it on purpose?”

Lu Fengshen regarded Chi Qiu as his own, and said, “I’m quite talented in cooking. I can read some tutorials and figure it out myself. When Lu Ming lived abroad with us, he also loved my soup.”

Once he heard that Lu Ming loved the soup, Chi Qiu held the bowl and asked for half a bowl more.

At the meal, Chi Qiu drank two or three bowls of soup, and his stomach was full of water. The rest of the dishes were almost untouched. Fortunately, Lu Ming and Lu Fengshen had good appetites, so they did not disappoint the results of Aunt Zhang’s hard work all morning.

After the meal, the three chatted and laughed in the front hall while drinking tea.

The aroma of the newly added spring tea in the house was overwhelming. Lu Fengshen took a sip and the aftertaste was sweet. He liked it and said, “The domestic tea is still good. When I go back later, I will bring some to your grandmother to try.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ming took the cup in his hand.

Chi Qiu smartly answered, “These spring teas were picked by my relatives themselves. If you like them, uncle, I will prepare some for you afterwards.” He hesitantly squeezed his hand, but still asked, “How is Grandma’s health lately?”

Lu Fengshen replied, “She has always been strong, don’t worry.”

Chi Qiu nodded. In his heart, he planned that when Lu Ming had time, the two of them must make a trip abroad: “Before Lu Ming’s company was too busy. I thought, if there is a chance in the future, I would go to visit her with Lu Ming.”

Lu Fengshen waved his hand and said a few polite words: “She is traveling with a few sisters every now and then. You might not be able to find her when you go there.”

Chi Qiu’s kindness was appreciated by Lu Fengshen, but he was afraid that he would never see Lu Ming’s grandmother.

At the beginning, the purpose of Lu Ming’s return to China was too straightforward, and his grandmother persuaded him many times, saying that she did not want him to be involved with the Lu family again. It was a pity that no matter what she said, Lu Ming was determined to return to China.

When she saw how stubborn Lu Ming was, she was so angry that she didn’t even attend their wedding.

For the past six months, she was even more reluctant to see Lu Ming and Chi Qiu.

Poor Chi Qiu always thought that Lu Ming’s grandmother didn’t like him and was very sad about it. Seeing that Lu Fengshen had paved a step for him, he silently stopped being persistent.

“Then when you want to go back, tell me in advance, I will prepare spring tea for Grandma.”

The reason Lu Fengshen returned to China this time, in addition to work, he had another important thing to talk about with Lu Ming.

This matter was about Lu You.

Due to the presence of Chi Qiu, Lu Fengshen was not in a hurry to explain. Time passed minute by minute, and at about three o’clock in the afternoon, he claimed that he still had a job, and hinted to Lu Ming to send him to the door.

Chi Qiu understood. Knowing that they had something private to say, he stayed in the living room in peace.

Lu Ming sent Lu Fengshen to a black car, and Lu Feng Shen took the lead to take out two admission tickets from the car, “I have a painting exhibition later. Chi Qiu was there just now, so it’s not convenient to give it to you. If he is interested, you can bring him along.”

Chi Qiu was blind and couldn’t see the exhibition at all. Lu Fengshen was not sure if Chi Qiu would want to go. He didn’t want to embarrass each other, so he deliberately picked a suitable time to give to Lu Ming: “If you are free, you can come and watch the exhibition.”

Lu Ming took the admission ticket that Lu Fengshen handed over and folded it into his pocket. He didn’t plan to go.

“By the way, you remember that college classmate of yours, Xia Zhiyan, who used to come to play with you? He also returned to China and happened to meet me at the airport. Now he is a well-known fashion designer. He also asked me about you, and I gave him a ticket.” Lu Fengshen said, “Are you not in touch?”

“Something happened at that time, I didn’t contact him anymore.”

Lu Ming did not want to mention more about the old affairs between him and his old classmate. He did not wait for Lu Fengshen to speak again and only mentioned in a deep voice: “Uncle, the matter of Grandma, whether you mean it or not, do not mention it in front of Chi Qiu in the future.”

“Why, you still want to break it off with your grandmother?” Lu Fengshen frowned, his appearance somewhat similar to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming was not trying to break it off with his grandmother; he just thought that the conflict between them should not make things difficult for Chi Qiu.

Seeing Lu Ming’s silence, Lu Fengshen couldn’t help but have a headache.

He acted as a peacemaker and said without concealment, “Your grandmother has a knife’s mouth and a tofu’s heart, you still don’t understand her? When I take the spring tea back, I’ll just say it’s from Chi Qiu, she will definitely be happy to accept it.”

“Grandma isn’t that kind of person.”

“That’s because you don’t know her well enough.” Lu Fengshen shook his head, “Actually, Chi Qiu often asked about your grandmother on the phone. Since he wants to ease the relationship, you shouldn’t always be stubborn.”

Lu Ming frowned.

Lu Fengshen said deliberately, “He married you and helped you so much. You shouldn’t be stubborn about this trivial matter, right? Didn’t you say that you would be good to him and make him happy?”

“It’s different.”

“How is it different? Lu Ming, don’t fail to do what you said yourself.”

After a few words, Lu Ming was dumbfounded. He often couldn’t argue with his eloquent uncle.

After a moment of silence, Lu Ming looked back at Chi Qiu who was sitting in the living room through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the villa, and replied, “Got it.”

Lu Fengshen was relieved, and he slowly raised the corners of his mouth, which explained the real intention of this visit.

“Lu Ming, do you still remember what I told you, when your mother was in college, there was a fashion design exhibition?”

How could Lu Ming not remember; it was in that fashion design exhibition that Lu Rongtian fell in love with Lu You at first sight, and countless nightmares were kicked off from that day.

Even if Lu Ming only heard this from Lu Fengshen’s mouth, he could subconsciously feel a burst of nausea.

If time could go back, probably everyone would want to prevent that one wrong encounter.

Seeing that he did not answer, Lu Fengshen tried to say, “At that exhibition, there was a first draft of a black suit design, which could not be made into the exhibition, but was left in the school as an excellent homework display. After that, this design, which was improved again and again by my sister, was gradually perfected, and she made a one-of-a-kind suit for your father.”

The suit was designed and made by Lu You for Lu Rongtian himself. Lu Rongtian wore it, with his beautiful wife and young son, attended a major launch of the Lu Group for the first time and made a big splash.

Afterwards, Lu Rongtian enthusiastically asked someone to take a photo of the family of three.

This photo was once hung in this villa, but was torn apart by Lu You herself.

Lu Fengshen said: “After that, the design draft is in my hands. Now, I have a friend who wants to buy it at a high price and put it in an exhibition. After all, this is my sister’s hard work, and I hope it can shine, but this matter also has to go through your consent. Of course, the selling fee will be charged to your card.”

“Not for sale.”

Lu Ming didn’t even think about it before refusing it.
