After all, her affairs were indeed important to him, and Lao Zhang was not wrong to think so.
After a few more pleasantries, Lu Zhoushan left the basement. The casino was still bustling with activity. The middle-aged man who had led him in just now politely escorted him out the door.
A gambler who often came here, after seeing the man leave, smiled and greeted the middle-aged man: "Brother Niu, which rich family's prodigal son is this again?"
The middle-aged man did not answer, but just smiled perfunctorily, "We are all honored guests! Honored guests! Haha."
When Lu Zhoushan arrived home, the lights were still on in the flower hall of the Lu family's old house.
The eldest brother Lu Yuanshan and his family were chatting about family matters, and the eldest brother and his wife were asking about his useless nephew Lu Yaozu.
"Yaozu, didn't you propose to the girl a long time ago? I haven't heard you tell me how things are going lately."
"That's right." Mrs. Lu also asked her son, "Your uncle is almost dating the girl. When can you go over and discuss the specific wedding date with her family?"
Lu Yaozu felt like his scalp was about to explode. Lately, he had been avoiding the topic whenever possible and not mentioning it at all. How could he dare to bring up the topic of his marriage with Jiang Xiaoci?
Considering the Jiang family, especially Jiang Xiaoci's attitude towards him, he didn't know how much effort he would have to put in to get them to agree to his proposal and make up for this lie.
I couldn't help but feel resentful towards Jiang Xiaoci, who was simply ungrateful.
Inevitably annoyed by his parents' inquiries, he perfunctorily replied, "Mom and Dad, this won't happen that quickly. Take your time. Don't be anxious. This is my lifelong event, so there's no need to rush."
When Lu Yuanshan and his wife heard this, they agreed and didn't ask any more questions.
Just then, Lu Zhoushan passed by the flower hall. Mrs. Lu, with her sharp eyes, caught a glimpse of him and said with a smile, "Hey, my brother is here."
Lu Zhoushan greeted them calmly: "Brother, sister-in-law."
When Lu Yaozu saw him, he felt that his sickly uncle seemed to be in much better shape recently.
Seeing this, he really... felt very unhappy.
He stood up and greeted him in a muffled voice, "Uncle."
Lu Zhoushan only nodded slightly and said calmly, "Marriage is a serious matter and should not be treated lightly."
He always felt that this adopted nephew was a bit frivolous, so he gave him a serious reminder.
Lu Yaozu's face darkened. He agreed on the surface, but was furious in his heart. He called him "uncle," but he really acted like an elder without even realizing that he was only a few years older than him. Lu Yaozu felt very aggrieved.
Lu Yuanzhou and his wife were completely unaware. Mrs. Lu was still smiling as she asked, "Brother, why are you here so late? Are you out on a date with that girl?"
Lu Zhoushan only smiled slightly, neither admitting nor denying, "It's getting late. I'm going to my room to rest first. Big brother and sister-in-law should also rest early."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Yaozu and walked away.
Mrs. Lu lectured her son, "Yaozu, look at your uncle. He used to say he didn't want to get married so he wouldn't let the girl get married, but now he's rushing after her. You better learn from him, or you won't be left without a wife by the time your uncle finds one."
Lu Zhoushan hadn't walked far when he stumbled upon hearing this. He laughed and shook his head, thinking that he seemed a little too attentive.
In the flower hall, Lu Yaozu's face had turned dark. Could it be that he was even worse than a sickly person?
He waved his hand impatiently: "I know, Mom, don't worry about it."
