"No way?" Gu Wan's eyes widened slightly, but then she touched her chin and carefully recalled the events of the past few days.
"Hiss...now that you mention it, it's true."
Handing her water, holding an umbrella, and carrying her bag are standard practice. Anything Nan Nan glances at a few times will inevitably be in Yan Ge's hands by the time they get home. So... Yan Ge likes Nan Nan?
Luo Xingyou and Wen Qing spoke almost in unison, their tone carrying an air of knowing certainty and a hint of teasing: "That's right!"
Gu Wan: "No, Nan Nan is still too young, I don't agree!"
Wen Qing: "I think Xiao Chi doesn't seem to be planning to break the ice for the time being!"
Luo Xingyou: "Wanwan, besides Yan-ge, who else in this world do you think is worthy of our Nannan?"
Wen Qing: "At least Xiao Chi is someone I know well enough to know his background."
Gu Wan: "That does make sense..."
Just then, Little Cherry came bouncing back and called out, "Mommy!"
Wen Qing: "A-Ye, Little Cherry, have you decided what flavors you want?"
Little Cherry: "Mommy, I want strawberry flavor! With rainbow candy!"
Lu Beiye: "Sister Wenqing, I'm sure I want pistachios and rice! Double balls!"
In the distance, under the shade of the trees, the noise seemed to be separated by a layer.
Lu Nange took the water handed to her by Chi Yanzhou, took a small sip, and instantly felt the summer heat dissipate.
Chi Yanzhou stood right next to her, at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, just the right distance where he could take care of her at any time without making her feel pressured.
Sunlight filtered through layers of leaves, casting dappled, swaying shadows on his shoulders, much like the focused and tender gaze he gave her as she looked at him.
During this time, besides Chi Yanzhou who was always by her side, Gu Qi, He Zhuo, Ji Xian... would occasionally squeeze out time to accompany Lu Nange and her group for a stroll.
The entourage attracted attention wherever they went, and the news spread like wildfire through Beijing's high society circles.
"Have you heard? Recently, there has been a new family surnamed Lu in the capital."
"Lu? Which Lu? I've never heard of him before."
"Tsk, you're so out of touch."
"The giraffe's deer isn't a long-established local family, but his background is incredibly powerful. He's the son-in-law of the Sang family."
"The Sang family's background isn't exactly..."
"Besides the Sang family... they also have the Chi, Shi, Gu, and He families behind them."
The old masters of the Chi and Shi families have spoken, and the Gu and He families are also showing a close relationship, both openly and subtly.
Most importantly, it's important to see who's following them around: Chi Yanzhou, Gu Qi, He Zhuo, Shi Xu... These top figures among the younger generation are practically hanging around the Lu family every day.
The attitudes of the younger generation often reflect the true attitudes of the family, and this carries significant weight.
"So mysterious? What's its origin?"
"The exact origins are unclear. But one thing is absolutely true."
A while ago, some ignorant young man from the Qin family said some frivolous and vulgar things to that young lady from the Lu family at an auction.
At that time, the young masters of the Chi, Gu, and Shi families happened to be present. They showed no courtesy whatsoever, making people feel embarrassed and unable to save face on the spot, without showing any mercy.
That wasn't the end of it. The next day, several of the Qin family's key partners withdrew their investments, and banks also began pressing for loan repayments.
In just three days, the once-powerful Qin family was forced to close down in Beijing, their fortunes extinguished. The move was swift, precise, and ruthless, leaving no room for retreat.
"I've vaguely heard about this too. Now everyone knows the truth. The key is the Lu family's children, especially that little girl. She's truly the apple of their eye, the apple of their eye, and cannot be touched."
Those with younger relatives in the family must repeatedly remind them to be polite when they encounter them, and to avoid them if possible; that's always the right thing to do.
"Do you have any photos? I need to send them to all the kids in my family so they can recognize me and make sure I don't run into any trouble."
