Lu Wanling went straight to the restaurant without going back to her parents' house. Feng Haidong then led the children to work and play in the restaurant.

The lively atmosphere created by everyone's chatter really filled the restaurant with joy.

Around noon, Feng Haidong's parents-in-law and sister-in-law also arrived at the restaurant.

The father-in-law walked in and said with a smile, "I knew it. The third son went to pick up your eldest sister but didn't come home. He must have gone straight to the restaurant in Haidong."

When Feng Chungu and Liu Guifang saw their in-laws arrive, they quickly greeted them together.

When Lu Wanling saw her parents and younger sister coming over, she stood up to greet them and said, "Mom and Dad, what brings you here? I was just telling my third brother that we'd be going home once we're done with things here."

Before her parents could speak, Lu Wanhong said with a smile, "Big sister, Mom and Dad were waiting for you to come home, but they waited and waited and didn't see you. They guessed that you must have come to the restaurant, so they asked me to come and see if you were too busy and come and help out."

When Lu Yue saw her grandparents, she quickly ran to them.

"Grandpa and Grandma, Yueyue is back."

Seeing their granddaughter become so lively and cheerful, Lu Chengzong and Lin Guojin were truly overjoyed.

Lin Guojin hugged his granddaughter and said, "Oh, my Yueyue is back! Yueyue, were you happy at your grandpa Feng and grandma Liu's house with your aunt?"

Lu Yue hugged her grandma and said, "I'm so happy! Grandpa Feng and Grandma Liu are so good to me, and Grandma Liu's cooking is delicious too."

Then Lu Yue told her grandparents about the fun things that happened in town, including how she played with many other children at the town's kindergarten, how she could go hiking with the other children, and how the kindergarten organized trips to the river to play.

Lu Chengzong and Lin Guojin were very happy to hear their granddaughter talking nonstop.

In the past, Lu Yue was more introverted, and she wouldn't have talked so much.

But Lu Yue is really different now than before.

The elderly couple also noticed that the little girl seemed to have gained some weight.

Grandpa and Grandma were overjoyed to see their granddaughter like this.

When Feng Haidong saw that his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law had also come over, he simply said to everyone, "How about this, let's eat at a restaurant for lunch. My kitchen has all kinds of dishes. I will personally cook a big meal for everyone today."

At this point, Feng Haidong said to his wife and niece, "Mom and Dad, Wanling and Yueyue, please try my secret-recipe grilled fish."

Lu Yue said, "Okay, okay, I want to eat grilled fish."

Lu Wanling said with a smile, "Then we really have to try it at noon today."

The parents also smiled and said they wanted to try Feng Haidong's grilled fish.

So Feng Haidong told everyone to sit and chat in the restaurant while he went into the kitchen and quickly started preparing the food.

Lu Yaobin and Lu Wanhong also went to the kitchen to help.

When Feng Haidong saw Lu Yaobin helping out in the kitchen, he thought for a moment and said, "Third brother, why don't you make a call to your company and ask Xiao Zhou to come over too?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yaobin immediately put down what he was holding.

"Oh right, I forgot. The van was still there, so I asked the driver to come with me to the company and pick up Xiaoxiao so we could have lunch together."

Lu Wanhong said, "Third Brother, you really know how to find opportunities."

Lu Yaobin said with a smile, "I'm just going along with everyone's requests. Besides, my brother-in-law said so, I can't disobey him."

Upon hearing this, Lu Wanhong burst into laughter: "Hahaha, Third Brother, you're becoming more and more like Big Brother's follower."

Lu Yaobin wasn't angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "No way, your third brother is the boss of an advertising company now."

However, Lu Yaobin then added, "But if my brother-in-law gives the order, I will definitely do as he says."

Feng Haidong, who was listening nearby, laughed and said, "Alright, alright, can you stop talking nonsense? If you really do what I say, why haven't you brought Yueyue back from town yet?"

Lu Wanhong burst into laughter: "Hahaha, Third Brother, look, your brother-in-law has exposed your secrets!"

Lu Yaobin said helplessly, "Brother-in-law, I have objective reasons for this."

Feng Haidong asked directly, "What objective reasons? Did you get the short end of the stick with Zhou Xiaoxiao's parents?"

Lu Yaobin was stunned. After a moment of surprise, he asked, "Brother-in-law, you're amazing! How did you know?"

Feng Haidong calmly responded: "Is it that hard to guess? Actually, it's really easy to guess. Zhou Xiaoxiao's parents are both old intellectuals with very strong traditional values. So they definitely have a lot of opinions about your situation. Your usual little tricks won't work on them."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yaobin quickly and earnestly pleaded, "Brother-in-law, please help this ill-fated couple."

Lu Wanhong, who was standing next to her, couldn't hold back her laughter any longer and burst out laughing: "Hahaha, hey, Third Brother, you're so funny! You two are such a tragic couple, aren't you?"

Lu Yaobin said, "Get out of here, you little girl, you don't understand at all."

Lu Wanhong said somewhat angrily, "Hmph, Third Brother, then I won't speak well of you to Mom and Dad anymore."

Lu Yaobin quickly put on a smile and said, "No, no, no, Wanhong, little sister, you're the best. We're such good siblings. I misspoke. I apologize."

Lu Wanhong couldn't really be angry with her brother, so she turned her head and said, "Hmph, if you do this again, I'll definitely turn against you."

Lu Yaobin quickly put on a smile and said, "Third brother knows, little sister is the best. Third brother will bring you back a gift next time he goes out."

Lu Wanhong immediately said, "Okay, then don't forget."

Lu Yaobin agreed to his sister's request, and then quickly asked his brother-in-law, "Brother-in-law, can you think of a way for me?"

Feng Haidong said calmly, "I can't do anything about it. I'm not familiar with Zhou Xiaoxiao's father. But you could try asking someone who knows Zhou Xiaoxiao's parents for help, like..."

Before Feng Haidong could say the name, Lu Yaobin immediately answered, "Wang Zhonghe."

Feng Haidong nodded: "You and Wang Zhonghe have such a good relationship, I don't need to teach you how to ask him for help, right? I believe that if Wang Zhonghe is willing to help you, Zhou Xiaoxiao's parents should soften their stance."

However, you still have to get past Yueyue. You must handle the relationship between Yueyue and Zhou Xiaoxiao well, try to let them spend more time together and build a relationship. It will be much easier for them to get along in the future. Also, if Yueyue is involved, it might have an unexpected effect on Zhou Xiaoxiao's parents when they meet."

Lu Yaobin immediately agreed: "Okay, thank you for reminding me, brother-in-law. I'll go pick up Xiaoxiao right away."

Then Lu Yaobin took off his apron, washed his hands, and hurried out.

The three children who were playing together immediately ran to Lu Yaobin hand in hand when they saw him about to leave, clamoring to go with him.

Since they were going in a van anyway, Lu Yaobin decided to bring all three children along.
