"Uncle... Uncle?" Lu Jiming looked shocked. "You... how did you get here?"
The person who arrived was Lu Shiyan.
Lu Shiyan didn't even glance at Lu Jiming. He looked at Old Master Bai and nodded slightly to him, "Old Master Bai."
After a pause, Lu Shiyan continued, "I heard that Lu Jiming had come to bother me, so I came uninvited to take him back."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jiming snorted inwardly, but put on an arrogant expression. "Who told you to come pick me up? Can't I go back by myself?"
“You have an exam tomorrow, and I’m worried that if you play too late, it will be too late when you get back, and that will affect your exam tomorrow,” Lu Shiyan said seriously.
He then glanced at the table again, his gaze sweeping over Jiang Li. "However... I seem to have arrived at the wrong time, perhaps disturbing your meal."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li immediately asked Lu Shiyan, "Ayan, have you eaten?"
Lu Shiyan's eyes flickered for a moment, and he said, "Not yet. I plan to eat after I pick up Lu Jiming and take him back."
“We were just about to eat, and there’s a lot of food. Ah Yan, why don’t you come and eat with us? It’ll save us from having to prepare food when we get back.” Jiang Li quickly invited Lu Shiyan.
Being at her senior brother's house, and with no outsiders around, Jiang Li didn't consider herself an outsider and directly extended an invitation.
Lu Shiyan did not agree, but instead looked at Old Master Bai.
"Don't be shy, just eat with us." Old Master Bai naturally shared this sentiment.
“Then I… will respectfully accept your offer.” Lu Shiyan replied, and then walked to the side without any politeness.
Lu Jiming also looked happy, "Uncle, come quickly and sit next to me."
Lu Jiming increased the distance between himself and Jiang Li, making room for one person between them.
Lu Shiyan walked over without making a sound and sat down next to Jiang Li.
Grandpa Bai glanced at Jiang Li, then at Lu Shiyan beside him, and then revealed a thoughtful expression.
He then asked, "Junior Sister, do you know President Lu?"
Before Jiang Li could speak, Lu Shiyan said, "Old Master Bai, you can just call me by my name. Calling me President Lu is too formal."
"Alright." Old Master Bai gave Lu Shiyan another deep look. "Then I'll call you by your name from now on, Shiyan. Do you know Jiang Li?"
"Yes." Lu Shiyan nodded. "I know him, and we're quite familiar with each other."
"Senior Brother, can you guys stop chatting? Can we eat first?" Jiang Li asked expectantly, holding her chopsticks.
She really didn't understand them. Couldn't they talk about it after dinner?
She starved to death.
"Alright, alright, let's eat. We can't let Jiang Jiang go hungry," Lu Shiyan said with a doting expression.
Old Master Bai: "???"
Old Master Bai: "!!!"
There's a problem!
There must be something going on between these two!
However, we really can't let our little junior sister go hungry, so we can talk about it after we finish eating.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very strange.
Lu Shiyan would occasionally put food on Jiang Li's plate.
Jiang Li ate as if it were perfectly natural.
Old Master Bai remained silent.
Bai Jing remained silent.
Lu Jiming then stated...
This level of detail is nothing special; he's tired of seeing it.
After dinner, Grandpa Bai chatted with Lu Shiyan, while Jiang Li continued to busy herself with her medicinal herbs.
As for Lu Jiming...
Bai Jing pulled him outside.
This time, Bai Jing grabbed Lu Jiming's shoulder and shook him repeatedly.
"It's not that you're interested in my great-aunt, it's that your uncle has feelings for her?!"
Bai Jing wasn't stupid; he saw exactly what happened at the dinner table.
Lu Jiming smiled slightly, "I warned you before, don't get any ideas about her."
"You...you..." Bai Jingqi's face turned ashen. "Your uncle has no martial ethics! He actually attacked my great-aunt! Doesn't he know how old he is? How old is my great-aunt?"
Although they hadn't known each other for long, Jiang Li's abilities truly impressed him.
Then he found out that an old man was eyeing his grand-aunt...
This is intolerable!
“My uncle is only eight years older than my aunt, how can he be considered old? He’s in the prime of his life!” Lu Jiming retorted, unconvinced, and then added, “Besides his age, tell me, what else is wrong with my uncle?”
“He looks…” Bai Jing subconsciously wanted to criticize Lu Shiyan’s appearance.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Shiyan's image appeared in his mind.
Um……
I simply can't bring myself to criticize Lu Shiyan's looks.
If he's not good-looking, then there are practically no good-looking people in the world.
"His economic status..." Another aspect came to mind, and Bai Jing's face instantly darkened.
Um……
Not to mention the Lu family's influence in the capital, Lu Shiyan's private wealth alone is enough to crush a person in the capital.
This can't be discredited.
As for his character...
never mind……
I'd rather not think about it anymore. Thinking too much about it will only bring me humiliation.
Aside from being a bit older, Lu Shiyan really seems to be in perfect health.
This man is practically at the pinnacle of his abilities.
If you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another chance.
"See? You can't find anything wrong with my uncle in other aspects either." Lu Jiming revealed a smug look. "So, you shouldn't worry about it, and don't be the bad guy who breaks up the couple."
Bai Jing's expression changed slightly again, and finally he asked sincerely, "Then tell me, has my grand-aunt taken a liking to your uncle?"
Lu Jiming's expression froze.
How is he supposed to respond to that?
Although those two are making steady progress, however...
As for whether Jiang Li has taken a liking to Lu Shiyan...
It's really hard to say.
"Tch, judging from your expression, I can tell they're not a couple yet." Bai Jing became cheerful. "I think it's your uncle who's having ulterior motives towards my great-aunt right now, isn't he?"
Lu Jiming: "..."
I don't want to talk to Bai Jing; he's really annoying.
but……
His uncle and Jiang Li are a match made in heaven; even if they don't get together now, they will get together in the future.
Thinking this, Lu Jiming straightened his back again, "What do you know? My uncle and Jiang Li are a match made in heaven, they'll be together sooner or later."
Bai Jing: "..."
hehe.
The two were talking when Lu Shiyan came out from inside.
Jiang Li followed behind him.
"Uncle, Jiang Li, are you finished talking?" Lu Jiming immediately went to greet them. "Why so fast?"
“You have an exam tomorrow, so you need to go back early,” Lu Shiyan replied, then looked at Jiang Li, “Jiang Jiang, we’ll head back first. Call me when you’re going back, and I’ll come pick you up.”
"No need." Bai Jing snorted. "Uncle Lu, do you think our Bai family doesn't have drivers? If Auntie wants to leave, we have someone to take her. There's no need for you to come and pick her up."
Offering unsolicited favors is either a sign of malice or theft.
He couldn't just watch a weasel come and snatch his great-aunt away.
Lu Shiyan glanced at Bai Jing and said, "I heard from Lu Jiming that you had your eye on a limited edition sports car. I happen to have one. How about I bring it to you when I pick up Jiang Jiang?"
Bai Jing: "..."
Waaaaah...
It's not that he lacked a firm stance; it's just that the enemy gave him too much!
