This was the first time Lu Jingheng felt that he wasn't entirely sure about the situation. Old Master Xu had previously wanted to marry her off to Xu Ziyang.
Although this plan is unlikely to succeed, I'm still a little worried.
That girl listens to Grandpa Xu the most. If he disagrees, she'll probably really break up with him.
Of course, he wouldn't allow that.
He needs to get some rest early tonight so he can be in top condition when he goes to the Xu family tomorrow.
The next morning, Lu Jingheng woke up early, and Tang Minru arranged for people to prepare gifts overnight.
Various precious tonics, jade, jewelry, and the like.
She also thought that the Xu family wasn't exactly a prestigious family, so she didn't need to prepare the most expensive gift; the most important thing was that it was suitable.
This is his first visit, so it's enough to be polite.
When it comes time to propose marriage, the arrangements will naturally be different.
Xu Rubao couldn't sleep either, ever since he said last night that a distinguished guest would be coming to the house tomorrow. Xia Lanying heard that it was Lu Jingheng.
At first, she couldn't believe it, thinking, how could that girl possibly catch the eye of the Lu family?
But the old man was talking about the Lu family, and she immediately felt she had to take it seriously.
Therefore, Xia Lanying also got up early to prepare with Chen Lizhen, fearing that the servants at home might not be prepared properly.
If that girl really has a chance to rise in social status, the Xu family's position will naturally be different from what it used to be.
She had been hoping it would be Ziqing, since she was her own granddaughter.
However, this kind of thing only works if the Lu family approves of it.
Ziqing didn't have a chance; that girl got the position, so it's like keeping the good stuff within the family.
Regardless of the circumstances, in terms of reputation, Lu Jingheng became the son-in-law of the Xu family, and the Xu family also rose to prominence.
Xu Jinnan calmly read the newspaper in the living room. He wasn't in a hurry and didn't say anything about marrying Ru Bao to him.
Lu Jingheng is a decisive and efficient businessman, but whether he is truly sincere towards Ru Bao is still hard to say.
Ru Bao is young, so her judgment of people may not be accurate.
Lu Jingheng arrived around ten o'clock.
Xu Rubao walked outside into the yard and watched as the drivers took the gift boxes out of the car one after another.
She was startled and pointed at the pile of things, "What...what are these for?"
"Fool, this is a gift for your family. Come on, let's go inside."
To be honest, Xu Rubao was quite nervous, but looking at Lu Jingheng, he seemed to be at home.
It was his first time here, wasn't he nervous?
Lu Jingheng went inside, and Xu Rubao led him to his grandfather. "Grandpa, this is Lu Jingheng. This is my grandma, Uncle Hai, Aunt Zhen, Qingqing, and Xu Ziyang."
Lu Jingheng first greeted the old man and presented him with a gift, and then presented each of them with their own gifts.
When Xia Lanying opened the box, she found a green emerald pendant necklace, which was perfect for someone her age.
The Lu family's offer was indeed generous.
Xu Ziqing's gift was a butterfly diamond brooch, which was probably the most precious gift she had ever received.
Xu Jinnan looked at the antique tea set in his hand, and then at the others. Everyone had a gift, showing that they had put thought into it.
He remained outwardly calm, saying, "Why are you bringing such an expensive gift on our first visit? I never promised to marry Ru Bao to you."
Xia Lanying was the first to disagree with this statement.
She looked at the emerald necklace on her hand. "Old man, look at your words. Mr. Lu, right? Please sit down. Ah Zhen, quickly pour some tea."
