Qian Duoduo said to Lu Yuan, "Calm down first. I'll have Peng Fei personally lead a few people over to help you check if this is Lu Zhi."
Lu Yuan nodded, his heart in turmoil. His fourth brother had been missing for almost 30 years. If it weren't for the common physical characteristics shared by the Lu brothers, he wouldn't have recognized that person as Lu Zhi.
Qian Duoduo felt nothing for this person. She had transmigrated into this novel, but now the story was completely different from what she had read, and each of the main characters in the book lived a different life.
In this book, "Lu Zhi" is merely a symbol, and there isn't much further description of him later. At least, while reading the book, I didn't encounter any further information about Lu Zhi. The fact that Lu Yuan actually saw someone on the street who looked remarkably like him puzzled Qian Duoduo.
If Lu Yuan really sees Lu Zhi, Qian Duoduo will welcome him, since the old man and the old woman have been waiting for him, and this time their wish has finally come true.
Qian Duoduo temporarily put Lu Zhi's matter aside, because in her heart, nothing was more important than her daughter-in-law. So, she made a reservation at a restaurant in advance and arrived there early with Yin Enxi to wait.
Not long after, Lu Hao and Jiang Xinyan arrived. As they entered the private room, Qian Duoduo's gaze was immediately drawn to Jiang Xinyan. She had a neat short haircut, looked clean and refreshing, walked with a steady and powerful gait, and had clear and bright eyes.
Qian Duoduo couldn't help but nod inwardly, feeling a very good first impression of the girl. He thought to himself: "Second Brother really has good taste! Just from her appearance, you can tell he's a sucker for good looks."
After Jiang Xinyan entered the room, her gaze involuntarily fell on Lu Hao's mother. Although they had been in a relationship for a year, this was the first time she had met Lu Hao's family, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Lu Hao was a celebrity at school, after all, he was a two-time Olympic champion with several Olympic medals. Such achievements made him a prominent figure at school, attracting much attention. In a military academy, everyone admired the strong, and someone like Lu Hao, who excelled in every aspect, was truly rare.
Jiang Xinyan couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate, somewhat proud that Lu Hao liked her. However, when she learned that Lu Hao had suggested his mother meet her during her business trip to Wuhan, her feelings became complicated. On one hand, she was looking forward to the meeting; on the other hand, she worried that she wouldn't make a good impression on Lu Hao's mother.
So when she walked into the room and saw not only Lu Hao's mother but also another aunt, her heart skipped a beat. Especially the aunt who looked very intellectual and had the air of a strong woman, which made her feel even more uneasy.
Lu Hao immediately reached out and took Jiang Xinyan's hand, then said to Qian Duoduo with a grin, "Mom, this is my girlfriend, Xinyan. Xinyan, this is my mom, and Qian Duoduo, Ms. Qian."
Jiang Xinyan took a closer look and was immediately shocked. This powerful and assertive woman was actually Lu Hao's mother! She immediately stepped forward, gave a crisp military salute, and then smiled at Qian Duoduo, saying, "Hello, Aunt Qian Duoduo!"
Seeing this, Qian Duoduo's smile widened. She slowly stood up, gracefully extended her hand, and shook hands with Jiang Xinyan. This handshake made Jiang Xinyan feel Qian Duoduo's warmth and friendliness.
Afterwards, Qian Duoduo warmly invited them to sit down, and Lu Hao naturally sat down next to Jiang Xinyan. At this moment, Lu Hao introduced her to Jiang Xinyan, "This is Aunt Yin, she is Mom's personal assistant." Hearing Lu Hao's introduction, Jiang Xinyan suddenly understood, and some of her doubts dissipated.
However, when she thought about her own family background, a hint of hesitation arose in her heart. Although she also came from a military family, compared to Lu Hao's prestigious revolutionary family, there seemed to be a certain gap between them. She couldn't help but wonder if this difference in family background would cause any problems in their relationship.
Sitting to the side, Qian Duoduo, having spent years navigating the business world, had long since developed a keen eye for detail. She immediately saw through the change in Jiang Xinyan's expression and understood her concerns.
She smiled and nodded to Yoon Eun-hee, who immediately went out and then came back. Qian Duoduo smiled and said to Jiang Xinyan, "Jiang, can you introduce yourself?"
Lu Hao smiled and said, "Mom..."
Qian Duoduo smiled and tossed an orange to Lu Hao, not even glancing at him, but only looking at Jiang Xinyan.
Seeing Qian Duoduo's expression, Jiang Xinyan displayed her strong mental fortitude. She stood up, straightened her clothes, and looked ahead, speaking in a serious manner: "My name is Jiang Xinyan, I am 23 years old, my ancestral home is Jinan City, Shandong Province, but I was born in Shenyang, Northeast China. My grandfather, Jiang Qiang, was the company commander of the 368th Company of the 1st Artillery Division of Northeast China. He participated in the Korean War and received the Third-Class National Flag Medal. My father is Jiang Fengwu, an instructor in the 3rd Division of the Northern Theater Command Air Force, and my mother is Xin Fu, the chief physician of neurosurgery at the Northern Theater Command Military Hospital."
When Qian Duoduo heard her mention her grandfather's name, she stood up. Her standing up also made Yin Enxi jump up as if she had been shot, and Lu Haoye stood up reflexively.
Jiang Xinyan was also surprised by Qian Duoduo's reaction, but she was also touched. After all, only someone who truly respects history and their predecessors would have such a reaction and attitude.
When Qian Duoduo saw Jiang Xinyan looking at her, she took the initiative to reach out and said, "Good girl, you truly deserve to be selected by the state!"
These words made Jiang Xinyan a little embarrassed. She secretly glanced at Lu Hao and found that his eyes were full of admiration. She also felt a little sweetness in her heart.
Qian Duoduo pulled Jiang Xinyan along and said with a smile, "My second son is sometimes such a blockhead. I always thought he would grow old alone. I even prepared a nursing home for him. I just didn't expect him to give me such a surprise. But, Auntie is telling you, when you get together, don't give in to him. You can't spoil a man. Let him do what he's supposed to do. You marry a man just to have food and clothing. If you do everything, he might feel embarrassed once, but slowly he'll take it for granted. If he's not good to you, don't put up with it. Everyone is experiencing life for the first time. Why should he spoil you?"
Jiang Xinyan was a little at a loss after listening to Lu Hao's mother's words. She turned to look at Lu Hao and found that he did not have any dissatisfaction. It was clear that he agreed with her in his heart.
