The old man chuckled and said, "Hehe, of course I know him. How could I not? He's quite talented, has published many articles in the Nancheng Daily, and is also the son-in-law of Teacher Xiao from our school. How could I not know him?"
Xiaozhao was happy when she heard the beginning, but when she heard that Lu Yanjun was Teacher Xiao's son-in-law, her expression changed immediately.
"What did you say? When did he become Teacher Xiao's son-in-law?"
"Oh, don't you know? I thought you were his relatives and knew about this. Teacher Xiao has taken a liking to Lu Yanjun and wants to marry her daughter to him. The two of them are dating."
The old man was quite progressive, unlike some stubborn old men and women who insisted on arranged marriages. After all, "free love" was a common occurrence here, so it wasn't surprising.
"Miss." Xiaozao looked at Lu Qingyan, unsure how to comfort her, but she knew her limits and didn't reveal their relationship in a dramatic way.
"Xiaozhao," Lu Qingyan called out, shaking her head at her. Xiaozhao could only retreat, looking unwilling.
They traveled this far to get here, not just to obtain this news.
Lu Qingyan stepped forward: "Grandpa, I don't know where Lu Yanjun is. I only know that he is here, but I don't know where to find him."
The old man glanced at his pocket watch and said, "He should be outside at this time, but he'll be back soon. You can wait here for a while."
Lu Qingyan nodded: "Thank you, sir."
Xiaozhao's face was cold, and she was so angry that she couldn't say a word.
How could the son-in-law do such a thing? Every penny he spent here came from the young lady's family. Why should he betray the young lady by falling in love with someone else?
As she thought about it, Xiaozhao couldn't help but think of the young master again. If the young master hadn't gone abroad to study but had stayed by the young lady's side, how could he have allowed others to bully the young lady like this?
The old man was clearly familiar with Lu Yanjun. Lu Qingyan only waited here for a short while before she saw a handsome young man walking towards them. The old man's eyes lit up, and he pointed at the man, saying, "Look, the Lu Yanjun you've been looking for has returned."
Xiao Zao stepped forward and rushed over: "Lu Yanjun!"
Lu Yanjun and Xiao Bao'er were walking together affectionately when they suddenly heard someone calling them. Upon closer inspection, the person in front of them was none other than the maidservant next to his so-called fiancée.
Lu Yanjun still had some sense of shame. Being caught on a date with another woman by his fiancée's side, he involuntarily let go of Xiao Bao'er's hand.
"Xiaozhao, what are you doing here?"
Xiaozhao sneered, "If I weren't here, how would I know that you, Lu Yanjun, are being all lovey-dovey with another woman here?"
"No, Xiaozhao, listen to me, this is a misunderstanding."
"Oh, what misunderstanding?" Lu Qingyan also walked over, her slender eyes staring at him, as if trying to see through his appearance.
"Lu, Lu Qingyan," Lu Yanjun called out, momentarily speechless with surprise.
Xiao Bao'er, upon hearing that Lu Qingyan's surname was Lu and that Lu Yanjun's surname was also Lu, assumed that Lu Qingyan was some kind of relative of Lu Yanjun: "You must be Yanjun's sister, right? I've heard him mention you before. The two of you even look somewhat alike; it's obvious at a glance that you're siblings."
