Song Yanli said, "My dear in-law, may I have a word with you in private?"
Lu Dongzheng glanced at the steamed buns on the table, then at Song Yanli, and finally decided to talk to Song Yanli first.
It's fine to eat later; we can't neglect our in-laws.
When Lu Zhengguo saw Lu Dongzheng's pathetic state, he grabbed a steamed bun and started stuffing it into his mouth like crazy.
Eat, eat, eat! If you don't eat now, there won't be any left to eat later.
Others may not know, but doesn't he?
Lu Dongzheng and Zhou Wanru are both foodies; they can't resist eating delicious food.
As I've gotten older over the years, I've become a little better and more restrained.
Before Song Yiren could react, several steamed buns were stuffed into his bowl.
Song Yiren asked, puzzled, "What are you doing?"
Lu Zhengguo kindly urged, "Eat, eat, eat quickly, or there won't be any left to eat later!"
Song Yiren had almost finished eating, and upon hearing what he said, he also became eager to eat.
Although the buns that Lu Zhaolin and Song Qinghe made tasted pretty good, he didn't need to eat them like that.
I can eat like this without worrying about stuffing myself.
Thinking of this, Song Yiren advised, "Eat slowly, don't choke."
"Burp!" Lu Zhengguo choked before he could even swallow a bite of steamed bun.
Song Yiren quickly patted his shoulder to help him catch his breath and handed him a glass of water.
Good heavens, if no one was around, Lu Zhengguo could have choked himself to death.
Lu Zhengguo coughed a few times, feeling completely unwell. It turned out that Lu Zhengguo was a jinx.
He says the most offensive things, it's infuriating!
After Song Yanli and Lu Dongzheng came out, they didn't hide anything and went straight to the point, explaining their family's situation.
After all, their family's affairs have caused quite a stir in Shanghai; anyone who's been interested can find out by making a few inquiries.
Besides, they were planning to get married, not to become enemies.
So there's no need to hide it; if it were to come out in the end, it would only damage the relationship between the two families.
Song Yanli didn't know when he could return to the city given his current situation, so he definitely wanted to make things clear if possible.
Lu Dongzheng was indeed slightly surprised after hearing this, but it wasn't too serious.
The main reason is that the two old men have a good relationship. Whether or not the two children are attracted to each other, the old men will not ignore it.
Lu Zhengguo is a stubborn but soft-hearted person; otherwise, he wouldn't have come here without telling them.
It's such a long way, thankfully nothing happened on the way.
What if something unexpected happens?
After Song Yanli finished speaking, seeing that Lu Dongzheng had no reaction, he took the initiative to say, "If you feel it's inappropriate..."
Lu Dongzheng shook his head: "There's nothing inappropriate about it, it's very suitable. As long as Xiao Liu, oh, that is, Lu Zhaolin himself is willing, we have no objections."
"Don't worry, in-laws, he's not a child anymore. He should know what he's doing."
"If he can't get promoted because of this, that's his own choice, and we won't take our anger out on our daughter-in-law because of it."
Lu Dongzheng didn't take the matter to heart at all and reassured Song Yanli without hesitation.
Not only that, but she also made sure to comfort him.
"My dear in-law, don't overthink it. Someone like Lu Zhaolin is lucky if anyone wants him."
"If he ever misbehaves in the future, just take care of him, and I won't say a word."
"As for the Song family's affairs, you don't need to worry about them. You're going to the countryside now, not being sent down to the countryside. As for your reputation, what good is it!"
"However, I will still speak up for you when the time is right."
Lu Dongzheng said that after the two families become related by marriage, they will be one family, and one family will not speak like two families.
Of course, he had to take his in-laws' affairs to heart.
The reason we say we're waiting for the right opportunity is because the current result is something the old man achieved through his utmost efforts.
If he were to speak now, it might not only fail to achieve the desired effect, but could also have the opposite effect.
