"This must be the eldest son of the Huo family."

At the dinner table, Lu Ming suddenly turned his gaze to Huo Junyu.

Huo Junyu stopped eating and looked up at him.

It has to be said that Lu Ming is one of those who take good care of himself. Although he is middle-aged, he doesn't have the slightest sense of decadence that comes with middle age. On the contrary, he is more energetic than a young man.

And she's not bad-looking either.

They look extremely similar to Lu Lishan, and outsiders can tell at a glance that they are brothers from the same clan.

Huo Junyu frowned, then looked at Lu Xiaoyou beside him, feeling a strange unease.

"Junyu, Uncle Lu Ming is talking to you!" Jiang Can whispered a reminder. "If you call Ashan 'uncle,' then call him 'Second Uncle.'"

Huo Junyu nodded slightly and politely agreed.

Lu Ming smiled and praised him highly: "None of the Huo family's children are bad; they are all outstanding individuals!"

"Mr. Lu, you flatter me." Jiang Can chuckled. "My eldest son is good in every way, but he doesn't like to talk much. I hope you'll forgive him."

"How could that be! They say silence is golden, and only noble people are slow to speak, right?"

Jiang Can and Huo Zhixing exchanged a glance and gently smiled.

I always felt that Lu Ming was much more cunning than Lu Lishan, because Lu Lishan would never say such polite words.

After a few rounds of drinks, Lu Ming put his hand on Lu Lishan's shoulder and began to reminisce about the chaotic things that happened when he was a child.

However, as he spoke, he suddenly changed the subject, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Brother, I remember you said that you would use one-third of Qingshan Entertainment to thank me after I found your daughter, right?"

Lu Lishan's face was flushed from drinking, and his mind was elsewhere; he almost agreed in one gulp.

Huo Zhixing watched anxiously, then kicked Lu Lishan hard in the leg under the table and glared at him.

However, the guy didn't react at all.

At this moment, Huo Junyu suddenly spoke up, saying with a half-smile, "Second Uncle, are you joking or serious?"

Lu Ming's eyes darted around. "Nephew, this is an agreement between my brother and me. It has nothing to do with you... Heh, eat more vegetables!"

"Second Uncle, that's not right." Huo Junyu put down his chopsticks and looked him straight in the eye. "In the entertainment industry over the years, Qingshan Entertainment and our Yufeng Media have been evenly matched. Moreover, neither of our families wants to be competitors. Only through cooperation and mutual benefit can we go further."

"So five years ago, Yufeng Media injected a certain amount of capital into Qingshan Entertainment, acquiring a 10% stake. Although the amount was not large, the Huo family held shares in Qingshan Entertainment."

"I don't care how you decide to divide this third, but before you do, shouldn't you set aside the Huo family's money first?"

"Besides," Huo Junyu sneered, "Qingshan Entertainment was built by Uncle Shan himself, one punch and one kick. You probably don't know how many twists and turns there were, do you? When Uncle Shan was in trouble, why didn't you come out to lend him a hand?"

Lu Ming's face stiffened, and his eyes darted around a couple of times.

He looked Huo Junyu up and down again.

It seems he underestimated his opponent.

He thought this young master was only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and had been too well protected since childhood, so he was naive and ignorant of the ways of the world.

I never expected him to say such things in front of his elders at a time like this!

Huo Zhixing looked at his son, smiled with satisfaction, and then tacitly covered for him.

"Mr. Lu, please don't take offense. It's my fault for not raising my son properly. This brat is talking nonsense. Please don't take it to heart. I'll give him a good talking to when we get home!"

Lu Ming gave a forced smile, raised his glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

Ha, if you really think you've failed in raising your son, where were you when Huo Junyu was babbling on and on?

The couple listened with great interest!

Lu Ming forced a smile, then looked at Lu Lishan, "Brother, hey... look at this mess! I was just joking! I helped you find your daughter out of the bottom of my heart, to help our Lu family! I really didn't have any ulterior motives, I..."

"Alright, alright, I know you've had too much to drink!" Lu Lishan chuckled. "But my daughter is back, this is a joyous occasion! I'm going to throw her a really big celebration!"

He put his hand on Lu Ming's shoulder and patted him hard. "You have to come then! Do you hear me?"

Lu Ming hurriedly nodded and bowed, clinked glasses with him, and continued their brotherly bond.

Huo Junyu glanced at Xiaoyouzi beside him.

It seemed that she hadn't said a word since she sat down at the table, and kept her head down, poking at the food on her plate with her chopsticks, her big eyes seeming to hold countless secrets.

...

Huo Junyu remained silent the entire way back.

Jiang Can and Huo Zhixing also looked unwell.

This is really too strange.

The person who kidnapped Xiaoyouzi back then was a distant relative of Lu Lishan who had absolutely no connection with him and took the risk in order to extort some money.

The person who found Xiaoyouzi is now Lu Lishan's cousin.

Before Lu Lishan acquired this family business, which of his relatives was willing to associate with him?

"Wife, I'm a little worried." Huo Zhixing said softly, "Ashan's relatives kidnapped Xiaoyouzi for money back then, and now Lu Ming has sent her back... I don't think this is right."

"Yes, my heart is pounding too," Jiang Can said in a muffled voice. "But seeing how excited Yuqing is, I can't bear it... Besides, what if it really is Xiaoyouzi?"

"Mom and Dad, what's bothering you?" Huo Junyang, who had been silent all along, took off his headphones and smiled. "Just find a way to get that little pomelo to our acquaintances for a DNA test! Uncle Shan and Aunt Yuqing's samples are easy to get, the key is that little pomelo!"
