After having dinner outside, Shi Miao and Ji Yanchen returned to Lanting Apartment together.
Shi Miao had just sat down on the sofa when the phone rang. It was Gu Qingshan.
"Hey, Grandpa."
"Miaomiao, about the meal we agreed to have together last time, it was delayed because you went to the capital. Come to Grandpa's for dinner with Yanchen tomorrow."
"Okay, Grandpa," Shi Miao said lazily, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"Okay, okay, it's settled then. See you tomorrow." The old man's happy voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Shi Miao looked up at the man sitting opposite her, legs crossed, typing on his computer.
Seeing that Shi Miao had hung up the phone, Ji Yanchen continued what he was doing and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Well, Grandpa asked us to have dinner at his place tomorrow, and I agreed," Shi Miao explained, sitting cross-legged and resting her chin on her hand.
Ji Yanchen raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes. "That's good."
Shi Miao hummed in agreement and looked down at her phone. Just then, a WeChat message popped up on her phone.
Lu Hansheng: [I was discharged from the hospital today, and I can go back to school tomorrow.]
Shi Miao: [Congratulations.]

"Young Master, it's time to go," Xu Yi reminded him.
Lu Hansheng glanced at Shi Miao's reply and then turned off his phone. "Okay, let's go."
A black Maybach slowly drove into the Lu family villa.
Lu Hansheng got out of the car and looked at the luxurious detached villa in front of him, his eyes flickering slightly.
Xu Yi led Lu Hansheng into the villa, where a luxurious hall immediately came into view, with a crystal chandelier in the center of the ceiling emitting a cold light.
"You're back?" Lu Yuanshen sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, exuding an air of authority.
"Where is my mother?" A hint of malice flashed in Lu Hansheng's eyes as he spoke coldly.
"Xu Yi already told you, right? As long as you come back, I will pay for your mother's surgery, including all subsequent expenses." Lu Yuanshen lifted his eyelids.
"What? You abandoned us so heartlessly back then, why are you now so eager to bring us back?" Lu Hansheng's thin lips were pressed tightly together, his eyes filled with undisguised disgust.
“The Lu family needs an heir,” Lu Yuanshen said patiently.
Lu Hansheng scoffed coldly, "What if I don't want to?"
“You have no choice. Remember, your mother is in my hands,” Lu Yuanshen warned.
Seeing the atmosphere become tense, Xu Yi tried to smooth things over, saying, "Young Master has just been discharged from the hospital and his body hasn't fully recovered yet. Let me take him upstairs."
Lu Yuanshen waved his hand and hummed in agreement.
...
Inside the room, Lu Hansheng stepped forward to stop Xu Yi, who was about to leave, and asked, "Is my mother alright?"
"Don't worry, young master, your mother is fine. She'll be having surgery in the next couple of days, and I'll take you there then."
"Okay, thank you for your help." Lu Hansheng breathed a sigh of relief.

The next day, at the gate of No. 1 Middle School
"Young Master, we've arrived at school." The Lu family driver turned his head and looked at Lu Hansheng, who was resting with his eyes closed in the back seat, and reminded him.
Lu Hansheng hummed in agreement, picked up his schoolbag, and got off the bus.
[Isn't that Lu Hansheng? Why is he getting out of that luxury car?]
[Holy crap, isn't Lu Hansheng's family broke? What's going on?]
I heard from my dad that the Lu family seems to have found a son born out of wedlock. Could it be Lu Hansheng?
[From Poor Boy to Young Master?]
...
Students passing by were whispering among themselves, but Lu Hansheng lowered his eyelids and ignored them as he walked into the school.
"Sister Miao!" Lu Hansheng looked up upon hearing this and saw Ji Sinian catching up with Shi Miao, the two walking side by side. His eyes flickered slightly, and he followed after them, "Shi Miao."
Shi Miao turned her head and said lazily, "I'm here."
Lu Hansheng hummed in agreement and walked to the other side of Shi Miao.
Ji Sinian glanced at Lu Hansheng warily, full of questions he wanted to ask Shi Miao, but refrained from speaking because the person involved was present.
Lu Hansheng sensed Ji Sinian's hostility and wondered if the man who had spoken to Shi Miao on the phone at the hospital that day was him.
The three of them walked to the teaching building and then went to their respective classes.
"Sister Miao, what's going on between you and Lu Hansheng?" Ji Sinian asked impatiently as soon as he entered the classroom.
"Classmate." Shi Miao glanced speechlessly at the idiot next to him.
"I have a feeling this kid isn't entirely innocent," Ji Sinian thought, resting his chin on his hand.
Shi Miao ignored him and pulled out a chair to sit down.
"Sister Miao, did you hear what I said?"
"No, you can shut up now." Shi Miao twirled her pen, looking at the composition book in her hand.
Ji Sinian: "..."
