Lu Jingyan didn't continue speaking, but merely glanced at his watch.
It's 2 PM now.
a long time.
The man opposite him then asked in a deep voice, "What is it?"
Lu Jingyan raised an eyebrow, his tone somewhat casual, "Tsk! Did I disturb you two?"
What do you think?
Lu Jingyan: ...
Song Heng straightened his clothes and asked, "What do you want with me at this hour?"
You have to come and give a gift at your nephew's one-month celebration.
Song Heng: ...
Song Heng, "time and place".
“I’ve already sent it to you,” Lu Jingyan said, then paused before continuing, “Also, bring your girlfriend over too, so Wanwan and I can give you our opinion.”
The man hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Okay, I'll ask her if she's willing."
Just then, a sound of tables and chairs colliding came from the other end of the phone, followed by the sound of a door closing.
Lu Jingyan raised an eyebrow. "It seems the young lady is unwilling."
After a long pause, Song Heng finally replied, "See you then."
Just before hanging up the phone, Lu Jingyan seemed to remember something and hurriedly said, "The family elders in E Continent are looking for a marriage partner for you."
Lu Jingyan, never one to shy away from a good spectacle, continued, "I heard that young lady is coming to China. Hey, what's her name again? Rosie? Eileen?"
"Before my godparents passed away, they asked me to take good care of you two brothers, Song Yu. I'm not worried about you. But you're not getting any younger and you're still single. Sometimes I'm quite anxious about your sexual orientation."
Song Heng: ...
"You didn't tell those old fogies you had a baby, did you? If they find out, what will they do..." Song Heng's cold voice drifted over.
After saying that, Song Heng added, "Tell those old geezers to keep their shady thoughts to themselves and not to try anything with me."
"No! Those old fogies can still nag me all day long through their phones. It's better to have them come to China..."
Before Lu Jingyan could finish speaking, Song Heng slammed the phone down.
Staring at the dark phone screen, Lu Jingyan twitched his lips helplessly.
Forget it, rather than letting those old fogies keep harping on it, it's better to strike first.
He then took out his computer and did some work on it.
The family's internal network has collapsed.
To a few old guys far away in E-state: Why is there no signal today, you piece of junk!
Lu Jingyan threw the computer onto the bed, picked up a bath towel, and walked towards Shi Wan.
"Honey, are you done washing up?"
"Hmm, who were you talking to on the phone just now?"
Lu Jingyan carefully dried the water droplets from Shi Wan's hair with a bath towel and replied, "Song Heng, I was worried he might return to Ezhou for the full moon banquet, so I gave him a heads-up beforehand."
Looking at the man carefully drying her hair in the mirror, Shi Wan asked, "But Ji Chu will be back too, and so will Sister Xiao Yun."
Lu Jingyan took the hairdryer from Shi Wan and gently dried her hair. "If this matter isn't resolved soon, Ji Chu will drive herself crazy sooner or later."
Shi Wan: ……
...
The full moon celebration was finally held at the Lu family's old house.
On the day the location was finalized and for the next few days, Lu's mother went to Qingshan Yazhu every day, walking around the community three times a day.
Finally, Lu's mother summarized three reasons why it was not suitable to hold a family banquet at Qingshan Yazhu.
Lu's mother: "Lu Jingyan, how come your neighborhood is so small? I walked through it in just two hours."
Lu Jingyan: "You drove for two hours."
Lu's mother: "Lu Jingyan, they couldn't even scan my license plate number at the entrance, but the security guard let me in. Your security isn't very good!"
Lu Jingyan: "You come to my house every few days, how come the security guards don't remember you?"
Finally, Lu's mother said, "Lu Jingyan, you have a new neighbor. He looks like a single, older man. He's dangerous."
Lu Jingyan: ...
Seeing that Lu Jingyan didn't want to talk to him, Lu's mother changed her approach.
“Wanwan, a few older men have recently moved into your neighborhood. I don’t know their background, but they’re always sneaking around the neighborhood like sly birds.”
“You know, the security in your neighborhood is so bad. What if those people see this on the day of the baby’s one-month celebration…” As she spoke, Lu’s mother made a throat-slitting gesture.
Shi Wan: ……
In Kyoto and even throughout China, only two of the top three families in Kyoto have entered Qingshan Yazhu, let alone ordinary people.
The entire community is now inhabited by important figures in China's political and business circles, and its security measures are second to none in Kyoto.
Just as Shi Wan was about to speak, she was interrupted by Lu's mother.
Lu's mother quickly covered her mouth, "Ah, that's not what I meant! Wanwan, your neighborhood is really unsafe, and I'm worried about you. You just gave birth and can't worry about the full moon celebration anymore. Let me do it, I'm not afraid of hardship!"
Having come this far, Shi Wan finally settled on the location as the Lu family's old residence.
Meanwhile, near Qingshan Yazhu, three furtive figures were loitering around Lu Jingyan's house with binoculars.
"You old fool, didn't you say there was a baby at that house? Where is it?!"
"Hey! Who are you calling a jerk?! That baby cries every day, are you deaf?!"
"Enough! Where are they? I don't see any cute little babies!!"
The three of them looked at each other, then closed their eyes amidst mutual disdain.
Unlike the quietness of Qingshan Yazhu, the servants at the Lu family's old mansion started working early in the morning.
Madam Chu arrived at the Lu family home early this morning with her servants to help.
Chu Ningxuan, Ji Meng, and Zhao Zhilin were among the first to arrive.
Before Shi Wan woke up at six o'clock in the morning, the group was already peering out from the villa entrance.
If they hadn't known that the Lu family was having a full-month celebration today, they would have been kicked out by the old mansion's bodyguards, given their shifty-looking appearance.
Around 11 o'clock, people started arriving one after another.
The baby was woken up early this morning by Chu Ningxuan and Ji Meng's argument and is now fast asleep in the cradle.
The cradle was placed in the center of the courtyard, and the table next to it was filled with all kinds of gifts.
The hospital was in chaos on the day Shi Wan gave birth, and no one had a chance to get a good look at the baby.
During her postpartum period, Shi Wan needed to rest quietly, so Lu Jingyan only allowed them to visit once so as not to disturb her rest.
This was the third time they had seen the baby, so they all crouched down beside the cradle to observe him.
Ji Meng had only seen the baby a few days ago, and the little one had become even cuter. His chubby little face, pink lips, and chubby little arms made people want to hug him.
Chu Ningxuan stared at the baby for a while, and finally relaxed his furrowed brows and said, "Tsk! I knew he looked familiar. My nephew looks a lot like me, just as handsome!"
Everyone: ...
Lu Jingyan: Take advantage of his alienation from everyone and throw him out quickly.
Chu's mother: This shameful son is better off gone.
Chu's father: I second that.
Zhao Zhilin: This kid is really bold.
Finally, Ji Chu glanced at him indifferently and said, "Go to the villa and find something for me."
Chu Ningxuan asked, "What did you leave in someone's villa?"
"Find a mirror and look at yourself first."
Chu Ningxuan: ...
Lu Jingyan's phone rang, and as he went out to answer it, he saw Song Heng standing at the door.
With his mixed heritage, Song Heng possesses the height advantage typical of E-Center people, coupled with his innate gentlemanly demeanor, making him completely unrelated to the rumored overlord of E-Center.
"Looking like a human but acting like a dog," Lu Jingyan said in a low voice.
Seeing Song Heng walking towards him, Lu Jingyan's gaze swept over a certain part of Song Heng's collar.
Yo...
"Take it easy, watch your back," Lu Jingyan said with a meaningful smile.
"It's obvious?" The man looked defiantly at a spot in the courtyard.
