Lu Huan didn't know much about mahjong, and when the men suddenly started talking about business, she couldn't understand anything either, so she decided to go outside for some fresh air.
The weather has been quite nice these past few days, sunny and warm, but Lu Huan, who is sensitive to the cold, started shivering after being outside for a while and was about to go back inside with her shoulders hunched.
Suddenly, Lu Huan heard a man's voice. Curious, she looked up and saw the man making a phone call in the corridor.
Lu Huan is sensitive to sound, so she naturally recognized the voice of the man answering the phone as one she had never heard before.
Aside from the few members of the Ming family she knew, the person in front of her should be Ming Ze, the second son of the Ming family.
Lu Huan knew that it was wrong to eavesdrop on other people's phone calls, but her purpose was not to eavesdrop on the other person's conversation, but to be curious about what the other person looked like.
Why is this man talking on the phone with his back to her the whole time? Can't he turn around even a little bit?
Perhaps God heard her prayer, for her phone suddenly rang.
Lu Huan's heart immediately started pounding wildly, and she hurriedly hung up the phone. But the next second, Gu Zhendong called again.
The phone rang again, instantly interrupting the man's speech. When he turned around, Lu Huan immediately bent down guiltily, avoiding his gaze.
I glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Gu Zhendong calling.
Damn it, why did Gu Zhendong have to call at this time? Did that uncle think I was deliberately eavesdropping on his phone call?
Lu Huan panicked and instinctively hung up the phone, turning around to try and escape from the place.
However, just as she turned around, a pair of black men's leather shoes suddenly appeared in her lowered gaze, and her eyes followed the shoes upwards...
I closed my eyes in despair. I knew without asking that I had been caught red-handed and then misunderstood!
She was incredibly annoyed. She should have stayed by Gu Zhendong's side and watched him play mahjong instead of wandering around aimlessly.
Lu Huan just wanted to escape reality and didn't want to see what the other person looked like at all!
God help me, please don't let it be Ming's second uncle, otherwise she'll be utterly humiliated.
Lu Huan prayed silently when a gentle male voice suddenly came from above, "Who are you? Why are you in my house?"
You're going to die!
Upon hearing "my family," Lu Huan knew that this man was definitely Mingze, whom she had never met.
Curiosity really did kill the cat!
Mingze was indeed quite curious about the young girl who had suddenly appeared before him. He was away from home for many years and naturally did not know that the woman in front of him was Gu Zhendong's wife.
The little girl is too scared to open her eyes. Is she that timid?
Mingze considers herself to have a gentle appearance, and she is the first person to be afraid of her.
"Am I that scary-looking? I don't even dare to open my eyes?" Mingze joked with the other person.
Oh well, I can't run away anyway, so let's just accept the embarrassment!
Moreover, this second uncle of the Ming family has a very gentle voice, so he must be a gentle person as well.
Lu Huan resignedly raised her head and gave a dry laugh, "Um, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your phone call... I just happened to be wandering around this area and didn't expect to run into you..."
Lu Huan looked up at Mingze in front of her and froze on the spot, unable to say the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Lu Huan stared blankly at the man in front of her, forgetting to even blink. She dared not breathe loudly, afraid that if she opened her mouth, the man in front of her would disappear.
He really looks so much like him!
Lu Huan grew up with her mother since she was a child, and she has never met her biological father since she can remember.
Her mother said that her father died in an accident. Her parents loved each other very much. Even after her father's death, her mother did not remarry or have any more children. Instead, she worked hard to raise her to adulthood.
Although Lu Huan had never met his father, he remembered what he looked like.
Her mother had carefully packed away all of her father's belongings. Later, after her mother passed away, she found a photo of her parents while sorting through her mother's belongings. In the photo, the two of them looked just like they did when they were young, embracing each other and smiling happily and sweetly.
The man in front of me looked almost exactly like the man in the photo, the only difference being that he was much older and more mature and composed.
This is clearly her aging father!
How is that possible!
Mingze thought to himself that he didn't look that scary. The little girl was initially afraid to see him, but now she was staring at him blankly, looking like she was really frightened by him.
Mingze touched his face in confusion, doubting his own appearance for the first time in his life. Could he really look that scary?
"Little girl?" Mingze called out several times, but Lu Huan didn't react.
Lu Huan was still staring blankly at him. Mingze muttered to himself: Could this little girl have been scared silly by her?
That's impossible, it must be a coincidence!
Lu Huan shook her head, denying her own thoughts. Her father had passed away long ago, so how could he possibly be here? She must be mistaken!
"Little girl?"
Mingze called out again, already suspecting that the little girl in front of him must have some mental problems.
Upstairs, Gu Zhendong couldn't find anyone and couldn't get a response to his calls, so he pushed the sign aside and tried to go downstairs to look for them.
Fu Hanshen fired another shot, this time a double slam, which infuriated him. When Gu Zhendong said he wanted to withdraw, he was naturally unhappy. At the very least, he had to win back his money before he would leave.
"Don't worry, this is the Ming family home. You're not afraid of losing your little wife!"
This person is so spineless!
His wife only left for a short while, but looking at how anxious he is, anyone who doesn't know the situation would think that Lu Huan has really disappeared!
Fu Hanshen couldn't stop Gu Zhendong at all. The man glared at him, and Fu Hanshen wisely shut his mouth.
＊
Gu Zhendong went downstairs but didn't see Lu Huan, so he went to ask Yan Rong.
Yan Rong was busy chatting with someone when Shen Hui returned from outside. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they naturally had to have a good chat.
When asked about Lu Huan, Yan Rong shook her head, "I don't know, I haven't seen her either!"
Gu Zhendong felt irritated, wondering where she had gone.
Shen Hui spoke up, "I think I saw that child go outside. Why don't you go out and look for him?"
Gu Zhendong said thank you and walked outside.
The people inside started chatting again, and when they came up with Lu Huan, Shen Hui casually remarked, "These two kids get along quite well."
Yan Rong smiled and said, "Yes! This is the first time we've come here. Huanhuan is a very well-behaved child and never runs around. It's just that Zhendong is too nervous."
Ming Zijun was incredibly envious: "You're so lucky, you already have a daughter-in-law so quickly, and you're just waiting to hold your grandson. Unlike my husband, he's out gallivanting all day long, and I don't know when he'll bring me a daughter-in-law. He's always making me angry, and I'm so worried that my hair has turned white."
Just last year, the two of them were worried about their son's marriage. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, Gu Zhendong got married and is living a very happy life!
Gu Zhendong walked outside, and as soon as he stepped out, he saw Lu Huan squatting on the ground, with a man standing in front of her.
Upon closer inspection, the man turned out to be Mingze, whom they hadn't seen in a long time.
Gu Zhendong called out "Second Uncle," and Mingze turned to look at Gu Zhendong, a surprised smile appearing on his face. "Zhendong?"
The last time they met was last year. Mingze looked Gu Zhendong up and down and found that he had changed a lot.
Around this time last year, Gu Zhendong fell ill again. He had just returned from the hospital and had been recuperating at home. His condition was tormenting him, causing him to become very thin, pale, and with a gloomy look in his eyes.
Unlike now, the illness seems to have been completely cured, and I look great.
Gu Zhendong turned his gaze to Lu Huan, who was still squatting on the ground, and walked over to help her up. "What happened?"
It wasn't until Gu Zhendong's voice that Lu Huan's wandering thoughts were pulled back.
Lu Huan realized that he was still squatting on the ground, which was too embarrassing, so he hurriedly stood up. He had been squatting for a while, and his legs were numb, so he almost fell.
Fortunately, Gu Zhendong held her steady. "Are you alright?"
Lu Huan didn't speak, but shook her head at him.
Mingze knew Gu Zhendong's personality; he rarely had any girls around him. If he was suddenly so intimate with a girl, then this girl was probably Gu Zhendong's wife.
Just as Mingze finished guessing, Gu Zhendong introduced, "Second Uncle, this is my wife, Lu Huan." He then turned to Lu Huan and introduced Mingze to her as well.
Lu Huan called out "Second Uncle" in a crisp voice, while secretly glancing at Mingze out of the corner of her eye. Although she had already guessed it, Lu Huan still couldn't help but feel disappointed.
How could he possibly be her father? She's overthinking it.
An awkward explanation: "Um, I really didn't mean to eavesdrop on your phone call."
"It's alright." Mingze smiled gently. "I'm the one who scared you. It's my fault."
Lu Huan shook her head vigorously, "No, it has nothing to do with you."
It's just that he looks so much like her father when he was young that she didn't realize it at first.
"It's cold outside, let's go inside."
"good."
Mingze smiled gently at Lu Huan again; his smile really did resemble his father's when he was young.
Lu Huan was dazzled by the smile and immediately stopped, unable to move.
Gu Zhendong noticed her odd behavior. When he saw her staring intently at Mingze as if there was something valuable on his face, he grabbed her wrist and tightened his grip slightly. Lu Huan winced in pain and snapped back to reality. Meeting the man's displeased gaze, she looked completely innocent and asked, "What's wrong?"
She even had the nerve to ask what happened?!
Although Mingze is an elder, he is still a man after all. What does it mean for him to keep staring at the other person?
Gu Zhendong kept a straight face, and Lu Huan shut her mouth tightly. At the same time, the European Emperor couldn't help but look at Mingze's face again.
He really looks like him, it's definitely not my imagination!
Lu Huan gradually calmed down and carefully recalled the photo she had seen. Then she looked at Mingze next to her and the more she looked, the more he resembled him. At this moment, she couldn't wait to compare the photo with Mingze's face one by one.
She would occasionally turn her head to look at Mingze, which Gu Zhendong noticed and was naturally unhappy, since he was standing right in front of her!
Just as Lu Huan turned to look at Mingze again, Gu Zhendong suddenly reached out and pinched her chin. "Gu Zhendong, what are you doing! Mmm..."
