Meet the parents

Just now, everyone agreed with Lu Yi's words, thinking that Lu Jin was just putting on an act and deliberately hired someone to play the role just to make everyone dispel their doubts about her.

What no one expected was that Lu Jin would actually press the hands-free button directly to let the other party say hello.

Qin Siyan had just returned, and no one present was familiar with him. When they heard the voice on the phone, no one was sure whether the other party was Qin Siyan.

But if the other party is...

For a moment, no one spoke to refute.

Old Madam Lu has been staring at Lu Jin. From the beginning until now, Lu Jin's expression has been too calm.

This calmness and composure, if the person on the other end of the phone is not the real Qin Siyan, then it proves that Lu Jin is a person with a deep mind to a terrifying degree.

No matter what the point was, Mrs. Lu now understood that she had to continue to sing along in this play.

"Hello, Mr. Qin, I am Lu Jin's grandmother." Old Madam Lu greeted him in a gentle and loving voice.

"Hello, Madam Lu." Qin Siyan's voice was polite but distant. "I had planned to pay you a formal visit in a few days. I'm sorry to greet you in this way."

"I'm sorry for being so abrupt." Madam Lu said with a smile, "Sorry to bother you so late."

"No, if I had known you were worried and still waiting for Lu Jin so late, I should have asked the driver to take her home earlier."

Hearing Qin Siyan's words, Madam Lu looked at Lu Jin without any expression, and then ended the call: "Mr. Qin, you are not feeling well, so you should get some rest early. You can come over to have dinner with Lu Jin next time you have the chance."

"OK."

Lu Jin took the phone back without turning off the hands-free mode. His voice was gentle and sweet, completely different from the way he had just mocked and attacked everyone. "Go to bed early. See you tomorrow."

"Lu Jin."

On the other end of the line, Qin Siyan's hand subconsciously tightened due to nervousness. He tried his best to control his voice and sound calmer. He asked tentatively: "Is it not okay to just talk on the phone? I'll pick you up for work tomorrow morning. It's a good opportunity to visit your grandma?"

Lu Jin looked at Old Madam Lu.

Old Madam Lu was stunned for a moment, and the slight doubt that had remained in her mind was instantly dispelled. She smiled and nodded at Lu Jin.

Lu Jin then responded to Qin Siyan: "Okay."

"See you tomorrow then. Good night."

Even through the phone, it was obvious that Qin Siyan was in a happier mood on the other end of the line.

After the phone was hung up, the whole living room fell into deathly silence.

Qin Siyan will come to the old house tomorrow, which proves that this matter is true!

Everyone's faces looked unhappy, especially Lu Yi and Lu Zhou, who felt pain on their faces.

Old Madam Lu's gaze fell on Lu Jin. Now that this matter had been completed, the next step would be a smooth marriage with the Qin family.

"Young Master Qin said he would pick you up for work tomorrow. What's going on?" asked Mrs. Lu.

Lu Jin smiled slightly, met Madam Lu's scrutinizing gaze with neither servility nor arrogance, and said calmly, "Didn't you say that as long as I take down Qin Siyan, you would let me work in the Lu Group?"

These words made the originally silent crowd focus their attention on Lu Jin again.

Although Lu Qingshan knew about this matter from the beginning, when it was brought up again, his expression still looked a little unpleasant.

In his eyes, Lu Jin was too eager for quick success!

Madam Lu met everyone's curious gazes and said calmly, "Lu Jin is now dating Young Master Qin. If he continues to work outside, the Qin family will criticize our Lu family. So I decided to let Lu Jin work at the Yucheng branch."

The branch in Yucheng?

Originally, everyone thought that Madam Lu would directly place Lu Jin in the head office, but they didn't expect that it was just a branch, and even on Yucheng's side.

It was a small company, and the branch was opened only for the younger generations to practice. It had little meaning and had even been making losses over the years.

Sending Lu Jin there is no different from exiling him to the frontier.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Jin smiled. She naturally knew about that branch company, and she was not surprised at all by Madam Lu's decision.

Lu Qingshan glanced at Lu Jin inconspicuously and sneered in his heart. Even if the Yucheng branch was useless, it would not be easy for Lu Jin to stay there.

"It's getting late, everyone should go back and rest." Mrs. Lu said.

There are rooms at the old house, but Mrs. Lu’s words just now clearly show that she doesn’t want everyone to stay overnight. Although everyone is curious about what will happen tomorrow morning, they dare not go against Mrs. Lu’s words and can only choose to leave.

Soon, only Mrs. Lu and Lu Jin were left in the living room.

Mrs. Lu's gaze fell on Lu Jin again. "It's not convenient for you to go back to the old house when you go to work at the branch office. There's an apartment not far from the branch office. You can live there and it will be convenient for commuting. I'll have someone go over and clean it up for you tomorrow."

In the past two days since returning to the Lu family, Lu Jin has been staying in the guest room on the first floor. If Lu Jin fails to complete the task today, she will be sent back early tomorrow morning.

After watching Mrs. Lu go upstairs, Lu Jin turned and walked towards his rest room.

The next morning, just as Lu Jin had finished tidying up and sat down to eat breakfast, the doorbell rang.

The servant went to open the door and quickly brought people into the house.

"Madam, it's Young Master Qin."

As soon as the servant finished speaking, Mrs. Lu, who was sitting at the dining table with a serious expression, instantly put on a kind smile, put down her chopsticks, and stood up to greet him.

However, the person next to her reacted even faster than her was Lu Jin.

As Mrs. Lu stood up from her chair, Lu Jin, who was sitting next to her, ran to the door.

"Qin Siyan, you're here so early, have you had breakfast?"

The girl smiled sweetly, her eyes sparkling as she looked over, her whole body filled with joy. This excited look instantly calmed Qin Siyan's originally uneasy mood.

I didn't get any rest almost the entire night before, and I finally managed to get here now. Only after seeing people did Qin Siyan dare to be sure that yesterday was not a dream!

"Yeah, I've eaten." Qin Siyan nodded. His expression looked calm, but his tense voice still revealed his nervousness at the moment.

"Then wait for me for a while, I'll finish eating soon." Lu Jin said with a smile, and took the initiative to put his arm around Qin Siyan's arm. In just a moment, Lu Jin felt Qin Siyan's tension.

She paused, but didn't let go.

Qin Siyan shouldn't just shake off her hand here.

After waiting for two seconds, the other party did not make any move. Lu Jin finally put his mind at ease. He took Qin Siyan's arm and walked to the restaurant. Lu Jin smiled and introduced Qin Siyan: "Qin Siyan, this is my grandma."

"Hello, Madam Lu." Qin Siyan smiled politely. He turned slightly to look at the driver who came into the house carrying a bunch of gifts. Then he continued, "I heard that you like jade. I just bought a piece at the auction. I hope you like it."

Mrs. Lu's eyes have been on Qin Siyan and Lu Jin since he entered the room. The interaction between the two completely dispelled any concerns Mrs. Lu had.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Lu." Old Madam Lu smiled lovingly, took the gift personally, and then handed it to the housekeeper next to her.

Lu Jin casually picked up a piece of steamed cake and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he said to Qin Siyan, "Wait for me. I'll go get the bag."

After Lu Jin finished speaking, he hurried towards his room without waiting for Qin Siyan's reaction.

Old Madam Lu observed Qin Siyan calmly. Seeing that Qin Siyan's eyes were on Lu Jin, a look of satisfaction appeared on her face.

Soon, Lu Jin came out with a bag: "Let's go."

Qin Siyan nodded, and the two of them said goodbye to Madam Lu and left the old house.

Until the two figures completely disappeared at the door, the housekeeper beside them said with relief: "It seems that Young Master Qin likes Miss Lu Jin very much. Old Madam, you should be relieved."

"Relax? That's why I'm worried." Mrs. Lu's face darkened.

The housekeeper was puzzled, his face full of doubts: "Miss Lu Jin is now successfully dating Young Master Qin. According to the character of the Qin family's old lady, she should be eager to urge the marriage. It is only a matter of time for Miss Lu Jin to marry into the Qin family. What are you still worried about?"

Madam Lu glanced at the food in front of her and said to the servant standing beside her, "Let's get rid of it."

After saying that, she stood up and walked towards the living room.

Seeing this, the butler next to him showed a trace of worry on his face: "Is it not to your liking? I'll ask them to make some more."

"No need." Mrs. Lu walked into the living room and sat down, her face looking a little solemn.

After a while, Mrs. Lu spoke again, her tone somewhat serious: "Qin Siyan looks polite but is actually extremely cold. Lu Jin, knowing nothing about him, only spent one night getting Qin Siyan to agree to date her. Just for this, which girl in the Lu family do you think can do that?"

Facing the housekeeper's stunned and shocked eyes, Madam Lu sighed heavily, "The other young generations of the Lu family have all been too successful, but this girl who grew up in the countryside has an incredible courage in her bones."

The housekeeper smiled and said, "They are all your descendants, so they are always good."

Old Madam Lu fell silent and did not agree with the housekeeper's words.

Mrs. Lu's reaction made the housekeeper suddenly realize something, and he cautiously asked, "If you arrange for Miss Lu Jin to be the president of the branch company, will it make her out of control in the future?"

Madam Lu laughed and said, "I asked her to go to the branch office because I didn't want to be criticized by the Qin family in the future. Lu Jin just wanted a job with a satisfactory salary, so it doesn't matter to me."

"But if she really wants to take control of the branch, she's making a wrong calculation!"

Old Madam Lu didn't believe that Lu Jin had any ability to really become the president of the branch company. She just gave her a title to show the Qin family that they still valued and cared about Lu Jin.
