“He does have some relatives,” Lin Yuqing said in a low voice. “It’s just that during the years he was a gangster, his relatives were ashamed and avoided him.”
"Now that everyone sees he's rich and powerful, and a big boss of an entertainment company, they're all rushing to curry favor with him!"
Lin Yuqing pursed her lips. In the past few years, the Lu family's relatives have practically worn down her doorstep.
Borrowing money today, looking for a job tomorrow, wanting to join the board of directors the day after tomorrow, and wanting to get shares the day after that.
Lu Lishan disagreed. They first used "family ties" to blackmail him, and then threatened to expose his past involvement in organized crime.
Therefore, the constant rumors surrounding Qingshan Entertainment are mostly due to the machinations of these eccentric relatives.
Lu Lishan was used to big storms and didn't fall for this kind of thing at all. Moreover, he was tough and ruthless, which offended many people.
In addition, he used to be involved in the underworld and made many enemies. Although he has now successfully cleaned up his act and his business is thriving, the more successful he is, the more people hate him, and the more careful he has to be.
After all, those who envy him are in the shadows, while he, his wife, and daughter are in the open.
He would protect them no matter what.
"Actually, Ah Shan is really great to me." Lin Yuqing smiled happily as she said this, "It's just that these weird relatives are such a downer!"
"Alright, alright!" Jiang Can comforted her. "You don't live with those people, so why bother with them? As long as Brother Shan treats you well, and as long as your daughter is by your side, everything is fine!"
"Mm!" Lin Yuqing smiled.
She doesn't actually have any unresolved issues; she just really wants to talk to someone when she's feeling down.
After confiding in Jiang Can, Lin Yuqing felt much better. Just then, the little baby woke up whimpering, and Lin Yuqing quickly picked her up from the cradle.
Lu Lishan also brought Huo Zhixing in.
Huo Zhixing was immediately smitten with this beautiful little girl.
Then look at Lu Lishan's mouth, which is practically stretched to the sky...
He pursed his lips and turned his face away with an arrogant expression.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Jiang Can nudged him. "What are you spacing out for? Hurry up and take out the gift!"
Huo Zhixing hurriedly took out a gold-inlaid jade longevity lock and carefully placed it next to the little pillow in the cradle.
"Look at you, so polite!" Lu Lishan laughed heartily. He was overjoyed today and had drunk a few more cups than usual, his cheeks flushed red, and even his daughter's eyes sparkled with pink bubbles.
"That's only right!" Jiang Can said with a smile. "It's our first meeting today, so I should give my future daughter-in-law a little something!"
"Mom, what is a daughter-in-law?" Huo Junyang asked without missing a beat.
Jiang Can pursed her lips and pinched his little nose.
Huo Junyu kept looking at the little girl; he was full of curiosity about the newborn.
He had seen photos of himself and his younger brother at birth at home and deeply doubted who the ugly baby in the photos was, and therefore thought that all newborn babies must be this ugly.
Surprisingly, this little girl is quite cute.
Could it be because my brother and I are both boys, while my sister is a girl? Maybe girls are just born beautiful!
Huo Junyu smiled innocently, tugged at his mother's clothes, and asked, "Mom, can you give me a little sister?"
"Why?"
"I think my little sister is so pretty, she's like a doll!"
Several adults were amused by him, and Jiang Can bent down to touch his little face.
Before she could say anything, Lu Lishan interjected, "Little Junyu, this little sister is yours from now on! Can you take good care of her?"
"Really?" Huo Junyu was overjoyed. Losing one tutoring class had resulted in getting a doll in return!
"Yeah, really!" Lu Lishan staggered over and patted the little boy on the shoulder. "Take good care of her from now on, or... I won't be so polite!"
"Get away, get away, you smell like alcohol!" Huo Zhixing shoved him away in disgust. "Don't let the smell bother my son!"
"You surnamed Huo! If you keep acting like this, you'll regret it when your daughter-in-law won't be given to your family!"
Huo Zhixing glared at him, and the two grown men bickered like children.
On the contrary, little Huo Junyu acted like a little adult, walking up to Lu Lishan and looking at him solemnly: "Uncle Lu, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of my sister from now on and I won't let her suffer any grievances!"
Lu Lishan narrowed his eyes, turned to look at Huo Zhixing, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.
“Hey,” he tapped Huo Zhixing’s chest, “Your son is something else, much better than you!”
Master Huo smiled and mouthed "get lost" to him.
"Uncle Lu," Huo Junyu's voice was clear and cheerful, "what's the little girl's name?"
"Her name is..." Lu Lishan suddenly paused, "What's my wife's name again?"
Lin Yuqing rolled her eyes several times and quickly arranged for someone to drag President Lu to another room to sober up.
"Her name is Lu Xiaoyou," Lin Yuqing said to Huo Junyu with a smile, "the 'you' from the word 'pomelo'."
"Can I call her Little Pomelo?"
"Of course! Her nickname is Little Pomelo."
Huo Junyu smiled, stepped forward, and reached out to touch Xiaoyouzi's face.
However, before she could even touch her, little Yuzu, nestled in her mother's arms, suddenly turned her eyes, as if sensing something, and slowly reached out her little hand...
Huo Junyu's hand touched hers.
The little boy was both curious and happy to touch such a soft, pink hand for the first time, and he gently hooked his fingers around hers.
"Little Yuzu, I'll protect you from now on! My name is Huo Junyu, and when you grow up, you must learn to write my name!"
At this time, Huo Junyu did not understand that, according to the ideas of the two families, when Xiaoyouzi grew up, she would not only be able to write his name, but also have her own name written on his household registration book.
