After leaving for ten days and returning to Beijing, the Lu family couldn't adapt to many things.

After Mr. Lu and Lu Zhenfeng officially resumed their posts, their family seemed to have returned to their former glory days. Visitors came one after another, and the old man, who used to be so adept at handling this matter, had lost his patience.

He often uses the excuse of feeling unwell to send guests off early.

But even so, because his grandson Lu Heng is now in the limelight, those people would pretend not to understand the old man's hint and stay stubbornly, and some even ask for free meals.

Mr. Lu did not lose his temper in front of the guests, but his expression did not look good.

When Qiao Qingqing saw this, she couldn't chase the guests away, so she could only smile and say that she would prepare lunch.

Then, Shi Meiyun stood up directly.

"I'm sorry, we just got here, and a lot of things are not complete. There are many children at home, so it's too troublesome to cook for so many people. If you don't mind, let's go to the restaurant to eat at noon."

After Shi Meiyun finished speaking, the guests looked at each other.

Just when he was unsure of the Lu family's true attitude, the old man suddenly covered his chest and gasped.

Qiao Qingqing didn't react for a moment. Grandpa's health had already recovered in the past few days. Could it be that he had another heart attack after only being in Beijing for a few days?

Facing everyone's concerned questions, Mr. Lu waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it's just an old illness. I've been working in the countryside for the past ten years, and my health is not as good as before..."

Hearing this, the guests murmured in their hearts, "You are not as good as before?"

"Xiaojun, I won't be going out at noon, you can take them to the restaurant to eat. The children are still young and will make a lot of noise when talking to me, so they might as well stay at home and eat something with me."

As Mr. Lu spoke, he looked at Qiao Qingqing. Although he couldn't make eye contact in public, he tried his best to convey the signal.

"Qingqing, didn't you say you were having trouble adapting to the local climate? Why don't you just stop?"

Qiao Qingqing immediately understood that Grandpa and Mom didn't want to cook for these people themselves. The reason was that they didn't deserve to eat the food they cooked.

But why doesn't grandpa want her to go to the restaurant?

Are you afraid that you won't be able to hold out and be bullied?

Although she was puzzled, Qiao Qingqing still cooperated and said, "No, Grandpa, I will stay at home to take care of you."

As soon as these words were spoken, a lady who looked noble spoke up.

"Xiao Qiao, you haven't been to a department store since you came to Beijing, right? Why don't we go out together today? We can go shopping in the mall after dinner."

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. She doesn't know these people at all. It would be fine if they didn't leave even though her grandfather secretly ordered them to leave. But why did she pretend to be ignorant when it was obvious that her family didn't want to treat them to dinner?

Now you are trying hard to drag me out with you?

Qiao Qingqing simply declined with a smile.

"No, I don't like shopping."

Shi Meiyun quickly chimed in, "Well, what's so good about shopping in a mall? When Qingqing and Ah Heng got married, Ah Heng took Qingqing to the department store and almost emptied it out! But, who can blame Ah Heng for liking Qingqing? He didn't stop her at all. My son doesn't have many good points except one: he loves his wife and children. This is what he has most in common with his father."

Actually, there is no need for Meiyun to say all this.
