Old Master Lu guessed what Ling Mo was thinking, and said, half-jokingly and half-seriously:
"Ling girl, I'm entrusting Bei Ming to you. I've watched Bei Ming grow up, and I know his personality better than anyone. He always seems invincible, but when it comes to relationships, he really doesn't understand anything. I, Lu, have no other requests than that you treat this relationship seriously."
Ling Mo nodded and answered firmly:
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I am not the kind of person who treats feelings as a game."
"Your words are enough."
Having received Ling Mo's promise, Old Master Lu smiled kindly, then took off the jade thumb ring from his finger and solemnly handed it to her: "Keep it."
"This is?"
A gift to mark our meeting.
"It's too valuable, I can't accept it."
Ling Mo always felt that Old Master Lu cared more about Qin Beiming than about his own grandson, Lu Jinjiu.
Seeing that Ling Mo refused to accept it, Old Master Lu waved his hand and said firmly, leaving no room for argument:
"Once I give something away, there is absolutely no chance of taking it back."
"Can..."
Ling Mo was still thinking of saying something when Old Master Lu had already gotten up and walked towards the banquet hall ahead of her.
After walking a short distance, he even winked at Ling Mo affectionately:
"Girl, business is more important. I'm waiting to see the show."

Ling Mo stared at the jade thumb ring in his hand, which felt like a hot potato, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
Lu Jinjiu, who was peeking into the private room, caught a glimpse of the jade thumb ring in Ling Mo's hand and said with particular surprise:
"The sun must have risen in the west today! Grandpa actually gave you his most treasured jade thumb ring. This is too surreal."
Ling Mo asked curiously, "Is there any story behind this jade thumb ring?"
Lu Jinjiu scratched his head and said with a smile:
Is "family heirloom" considered a classical Chinese story?
"Old Master Lu actually gave a family heirloom as a gift?!"
“My grandfather said that he was able to live to this day unharmed entirely thanks to my third brother’s grandfather. So it’s only natural that he would give you the jade thumb ring.”
"Can..."
Ling Mo wanted to say something more, but Lu Jinjiu impatiently pushed her into the banquet hall.
As soon as she appeared, all the guests' eyes were once again drawn to her.
Noticing everyone's gaze, she had no choice but to temporarily put away the jade ring, and calmly walked to the center of the banquet hall, saying each word clearly and forcefully:
"I apologize for spoiling your enjoyment. However, there are some things I feel it is necessary to clarify in public, so please give me a few minutes."
