Hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Lu could understand.
"That's true. Actually, as parents, we don't forbid our children from dating, but we just want to find someone they can truly entrust their lives to."
"After all, we can't be with her forever..."
When the topic of their children's marriage came up, Lu's mother had a lot to say.
Lu Yingying could understand, but her parents had said these things countless times, and she was tired of hearing them.
Xu Feng, on the other hand, listened silently without saying a word.
“Especially since Yingying is an only child, my biggest worry is that she might marry the wrong person. We can still support her now, but I'm worried that after we die, some bastard might…”
"Okay, Mom and Dad! Stop saying discouraging things."
Lu Yingying's eyes welled up with tears as she listened.
She quickly hugged her mother and comforted her.
"I'm still young, there's no rush!"
"Besides, haven't you seen it? I haven't been in a relationship because I'm on guard against bad guys. Either I don't date at all, or if I do, I always choose someone reliable."
In fact, Lu Yingying felt that what she said was somewhat high-sounding.
It's quite remarkable that Xu Feng could talk for so long without changing his expression.
She felt she was about to give herself away if she said a few more words.
Lu Yingying quickly changed the subject.
However, Lu's parents became anxious because of her words.
“We know it’s a good thing that you’re not dating in school, since there aren’t many people in school who are good enough for you.”
"However, some of the ones we introduced to you are quite good, but you just won't listen to us and go meet them."
“I remember I have a few old friends here, and their sons are probably about your age. How about…”
"don't want!"
Lu's mother looked at her with reproach: "Look, she used to be our good girl, but now that she's grown up, she doesn't listen to us anymore."
Lu Yingying felt once again that she had shot herself in the foot.
Even Xu Feng, who was driving in front, couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle.
This made Lu Yingying's face turn even redder.
At this moment, Mr. and Mrs. Lu realized that there were outsiders present, and quickly stopped the topic.
It's really not appropriate to talk about these things in front of outsiders.
Xu Feng found a five-star hotel for the two elders so that everyone could get some rest.
Although Lu Yingying's parents wanted her to go home for a while, she refused, leaving them with no choice but to stay with her for two days.
A few days later, because the Lu family still had many things to deal with, Mr. Lu returned home first.
...
On his way back, Mr. Lu thought about the Shi family's matter, and his anger flared up again.
I was just about to contact a few old friends when I saw the headline of today's financial news shared in my circle: Shishi Group's stock price plummeted, and its market value evaporated by tens of billions.
This left him somewhat bewildered; such news was not something to be taken lightly.
Moreover, it just so happens to be the Shi family, which he wanted to deal with.
Something must have happened to the Shi family, something that might even affect the future development of the group.
However, after searching around, I found that the reports from various sources were all rather vague.
It seems that several of Shi's Group's important partners have terminated their planned collaborations, and those still in progress are also planning to stop their collaborations in the next phase.
The termination of cooperation on several major projects has naturally had a huge impact.
However, the specific partners were not mentioned.
For most laypeople, such inside information is difficult to obtain, especially since these large companies are still in the preparation stage and have not yet officially started their projects.
However, Mr. Lu was certainly not an outsider. He could find out some things without asking around, while others, after asking around, unexpectedly led him to the Xu family.
The Xu family and the Shi family are not closely related, but they have indeed cooperated recently. However, this large project is being carried out by several companies. Although the Shi family's share is not large, their cooperation with the Xu family is of great significance.
Now, the Xu family has taken the lead in abandoning the Shi family. The major giants have suddenly stopped including the Shi family in their business and have stated that they will never cooperate again. If such news comes out, coupled with some public opinion guidance, it is entirely reasonable for the Shi Group's stock price to plummet.
Moreover, the more serious consequence lies in the subsequent impact. For ordinary workers, they may still receive the same wages, but for the Shi Group, it will be extremely difficult to make further progress.
This one incident alone has severely damaged our vitality, interrupting our burgeoning momentum. It's unclear when we'll be able to recover.
This lesson can be described as painful.
But why did the Xu family have to be involved at this crucial juncture?
Mr. Lu was also somewhat puzzled.
What's even more suspicious is the timing; the Xu family stopped cooperating with the other party right after the daughter's accident. Anyone who knew about these two events at the same time would inevitably make connections.
Then, he thought of Xu Feng... and a certain possibility occurred to him, and his expression changed drastically.
Instead of rushing back, he called his wife and then called Lu's mother.
Lu Yingying was staying in the presidential suite, sitting on the sofa watching TV, feeling a little bored, wondering when her mother would go back.
Just then, Lu's mother's phone rang.
After saying only a few words, she put down the phone and looked at Lu Yingying, saying:
"You and Xu Feng, really nothing between you?"
Upon hearing her mother's question, Lu Yingying immediately went on alert and quickly denied it.
Upon seeing her attitude, Lu's mother's expression quickly shifted from suspicion to doubt.
"What's the matter?"
Lu Yingying asked.
"That's all, but your dad has some things to take care of at his company, so we need to head back together. Take a few more days to rest and take good care of yourself..."
Hearing that her mother was also going back, Lu Yingying suppressed her joy, quickly got up, helped her mother pack her things, and saw her downstairs.
"How about I have Xu Feng take you to the airport?"
Lu's mother shook her head.
"There's no need to bother them. You should also know your place. They already have someone they like, so why go and pester them?"
Hearing this, Lu Yingying felt relieved. She had said it subconsciously without realizing that it made their relationship seem too intimate.
Lu Yingying nodded quickly to indicate that she understood.
Fortunately, the mother didn't think much of it, flagged down a car at the door, and quickly headed towards the airport.
After Mr. and Mrs. Lu met, Mrs. Lu asked.
"Why are you in such a hurry all of a sudden? And what do you mean by asking me to ask Yingying that question?"
After Mr. Lu explained what had happened, Mrs. Lu was also greatly shocked.
"You mean, you suspect that Xu Feng is the heir of the Xu family?"
If you connect the dots, the possibility is quite high.
Furthermore, if their own daughter were with the other person, everything would make even more sense, which would be even more shocking to the two elders.
However, Lu's mother quickly put on a stern face and said...
"No! I think you're overthinking it. This is most likely just a coincidence."
