Qin Bochuan was tied up with the resort project and couldn't get away, so he was no longer a threat to Shen Shi.
Although Chen Chen was a big problem, he also suffered considerable losses as the project investor.
Chen Chen still largely relies on Qi Xingxin, unlike Shen Shi who is wealthy and can afford to lose money, so he has temporarily stopped.
When Shen Shi was doing well at work, he picked up his racing hobby again and enjoyed racing for half a month.
It was Lu Ming's birthday at the end of the year, and Shen Shi, as the prospective son-in-law, naturally had to visit him.
Lu Yuning didn't know he was coming. By the time her father told her, Shen Shi was already almost at the door.
She didn't even know her boyfriend was coming to her house. Shouldn't she have given him a heads-up beforehand?
Lu Yuning felt like she was being treated as an outsider and was very uneasy about Shen Shi's behavior.
Although Lu Yuning's emotions came on suddenly, it was not without reason.
Lu Yuning lost her mother at birth, and her father remarried to her aunt. The two had a son and a daughter after their marriage.
Lu Yuning grew up in an environment where she was extremely deprived of love; apart from her nanny, no one cared about her.
So when the young Shen Shi showed her kindness, Lu Yuning fell hopelessly in love with him.
Although Shen Shi has spoiled Lu Yuning to an extreme degree in the six months since they confessed their feelings for each other, this still cannot change her insecure and anxious nature.
Couples deeply in love are eager to know each other's every move, let alone the extremely sensitive Lu Yuning.
Like a child carrying a huge treasure but powerless to protect it, constantly worried that it will be taken away.
Unable to wait even a minute, the anxious Lu Yuning dashed out like a cannonball.
When she arrived at the door, it was just in time for Shen Shi to get off the bus.
Lu Yuning's face was flushed and she was still panting heavily. She stared at Chen Shi without moving, trying to express her dissatisfaction with her eyes.
Unfortunately, the oblivious Shen Shi didn't notice and still walked up to take her hand, only to be unsurprisingly shaken off by Lu Yuning.
To make Shen Shi understand the seriousness of the problem, Lu Yuning wore her emotions on her face.
Even the slow-witted Shen Shi realized at this moment that the little girl was throwing a tantrum at him.
The clever Shen Shi immediately figured out the reason and quickly explained, "Ningning, I originally planned to visit the day after tomorrow, but Uncle Lu just called me and said that he had something urgent to discuss, so I came today instead."
Upon hearing Shen Shi's explanation, Lu Yuning immediately realized her emotional outburst.
Come to think of it, how could Shen Shi not inform her before coming to her house?
It's often said that the world is a giant book of child psychology, and Lu Yuning thinks that's certainly true.
Even if no one stands by her side, Shen Shi will choose her without hesitation. All she has to do is believe in him!
Her emotions came and went quickly. Feeling that she had been too unreasonable, Lu Yuning inevitably felt guilty: "I'm sorry, I was too emotional."
Looking at the girl in front of him, bowing her head and admitting her mistake, Shen Shi felt a pang of heartache at her unease. He reached out and touched the top of her head: "Silly girl, why are you apologizing to me? As long as you don't change boyfriends, you can do whatever you want to me."
Shen Shi's beautiful eyes were filled with indulgence towards her. Lu Yuning hugged his waist, moved, and said, "You are so good to me, Shen Shi, I want to love you for the rest of my life."
After a silent embrace, Shen Shi finally remembered the purpose of his trip and led Lu Yuning into the courtyard.
As soon as the two entered the door, Mr. Lu joked, "This girl, as soon as she heard you were coming, she rushed out, afraid of being late to see you."
Faced with his future father-in-law's teasing, Shen Shi smiled shyly.
Lu Yuning lowered her head shyly, but secretly she was rolling her eyes at her father.
Lu Yuning's stepmother also greeted Shen Shi, saying, "Don't stand there, sit down and have some fruit."
"Brother Shi, please sit down." Lu Yuning's half-sister also greeted Shen Shi sweetly.
The two sisters were naturally at odds, and Lu Xinxin's actions were purely to annoy Lu Yuning.
Lu Yuning rolled her eyes at her without any politeness.
Knowing about the Lu family's messy affairs, Chen Shi naturally had to consider his girlfriend's feelings, so he didn't stand on ceremony with the mother and daughter, and led Lu Yuning to sit on the sofa.
Lu Yuning was very satisfied with this and proudly raised her eyebrows at her stepsister.
Hmph~ You're making me miserable, I'll make you furious.
Looking at Lu Yuning's exaggerated gestures, Shen Shi thought she was quite lively and energetic.
After admiring the gift without making a sound, Shen Shi handed it to Lu's father and said sweetly, "I heard that you like collecting calligraphy and paintings, so I specially commissioned a famous artist to paint one. I hope you like it, Uncle."
When Mr. Lu opened the scroll, a landscape painting appeared before him. The painting was exquisite and the artistic conception was profound. The signature was that of his favorite modern painter.
It seems that Shen Shi has put in a lot of effort. After carefully admiring the painting, Mr. Lu exclaimed, "What a wonderful painting! He understood me best when he was young!"
"I'm glad you like it, Uncle." Shen Shi replied politely to his future father-in-law.
Madam Lu, who was standing to the side, didn't care at all about Shen Shi's attitude just now, and said with a smile, "Such a precious flower must not be easy to obtain. You really have a kind heart."
While Shen Shi chatted with Lu's father, Lu Ming talked about all sorts of things with Shen Shi, but never mentioned the "urgent matter" on the phone.
Since he didn't need anything from anyone, Chen Shi wasn't in a hurry and continued to sit idly and chat with Lu's father.
The two talked until it was time for dinner, and only stopped when Mrs. Lu reminded them.
"Haha, we've been so busy chatting. Eating is the most important thing in life." Mr. Lu laughed and got up to say to Shen Shi, "Knowing that you love spicy food, I specially asked the kitchen to make some Jiangxi dishes. Let's go and have a taste."
Shen Shi found it incredible that Lu's father could still remember his preferences, but he still politely said, "Thank you for remembering me, Uncle."
The group arrived at the restaurant. The Lu family had a rule of not speaking while eating or sleeping, so everyone ate their meals quietly at the table.
Not having to deal with that old fox, Mr. Lu, was exactly what Shen Shi wanted.
It must be said that the Lu family's chef was indeed quite skilled; several dishes were prepared to his liking, and Shen Shi ate more than usual.
After the meal, Mr. Lu was the first to ask, "My cooking skills are pretty good, aren't they?"
Lu Ming's tone was smug, as if he had made the dish himself.
However, the food was indeed delicious, and Shen Shi praised it, saying, "It's more than just good; Uncle Lu, you must have poached this chef from a five-star restaurant."
"Hahaha..." Before Shen Shi could finish speaking, Lu's father's hearty laughter rang out again.
"Nephew, you certainly know how to talk." After laughing, Father Lu's expression turned serious. He patted Chen Shi on the shoulder and said, "Come with me to the study."
Shen Shi knew that his so-called "urgent matter" was about to arrive.
