Chapter 88 I wonder which young man will be able to marry Zhenzhen.
Xia Zhen was a little surprised to hear that she was going to Lu Qi's dinner party.
Although she had only met Uncle Lu once, judging from her father's reaction, he must have really disliked him, but now he was taking her out to eat.
Xia Zhen asked curiously, "Dad, why did you agree to have dinner with Uncle Lu?"
As Xia Yu drove, he said calmly, "He's such a failure as a person, his character is terrible, and he can't even get anyone to have dinner with him. I feel sorry for him, and I happen to have some time, so I'll just consider it a good deed."
Xia Zhen gave a perfunctory "Oh".
There's something fishy about her believing him; there must be some shady deal between them.
When they arrived at the hotel entrance, Xia Yu called out to Xia Zhen, who was about to go inside, "Wait."
Xia Zhen asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Xia Yu didn't speak, but looked at the time on his watch. When the hands pointed to seven o'clock, he straightened his tie and said, "Let's go."
Xia Zhen: "..."
She guessed that they had arranged to meet at 7 p.m. She didn't know why her dad was so particular about these things; he wouldn't even let her walk in a second early.
Lu Qi was also very generous; he booked the entire hotel, so tonight, this best hotel in the city will only have a few guests, including himself.
The window seats in the rooftop restaurant offer the best views.
Upon seeing the approaching people, Lu Qi stood up first and greeted them with a smile, "Xiao Yu, Zhen Zhen, good evening."
Xia Yu ignored Lu Qi, but glanced at the boy standing next to Lu Qi.
This boy has white hair and exceptionally fair skin. He looks very well-behaved and is the kind of child that makes elders feel comfortable.
Lu Qi introduced, "Xiaoyu, this is Chang'an. You held him when he was just born."
Lu Chang'an greeted him politely, "Uncle Xia."
Xia Yu probably remembered what the child looked like when he was a child, and his expression softened a little.
Back then, when Lu Chang'an's mother was pregnant with him, she unfortunately encountered a car accident. Actually, the accident was a bit strange. She was almost due to give birth, but she went out alone late at night, which led to the misfortune.
But this is a matter for the Lu family. If Lu Qi doesn't release any information to the outside world, then no one else will be able to find out anything.
At that time, Lu Qi was busy taking care of his unconscious wife in the hospital room and had no time to care for the newborn child. Coincidentally, Wen Yu was also about to give birth at that time. Xia Yu, with the mentality of practicing on someone else's child, spent a little time taking care of Lu Chang'an.
Of course, he grandly described this behavior as his willingness to help others.
Lu Qi smiled and said, "Actually, according to seniority, you and Chang'an should address each other as brothers. However, Chang'an said that looking at your old and frail appearance, Xiaoyu, he really can't bring himself to call you 'brother'."
Lu Chang'an's eyelids twitched.
Xia Yu said with a stern face, "You added the words 'old and decrepit' yourself, didn't you?"
Lu Qi smiled happily, "After all these years, I didn't expect you to still understand me so well. It's really touching."
Xia Yu was disgusted. He snorted and sat down in the chair.
Lu Qi turned his gaze to Xia Zhen, his smile becoming exceptionally warm. "Has Zhenzhen become even more beautiful?"
Xia Zhen smiled shyly, "Uncle Lu, please stop joking with me."
Lu Chang'an said, "We meet again."
Xia Yu raised her head. "You've met before?"
Xia Zhen said, "I only saw you once at the library."
Lu Chang'an said, "I never expected that Miss Xia is Uncle Xia's daughter, and I never expected that we would meet for the second time so soon."
Xia Zhen smiled but didn't reply.
Xia Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't like the way the boy looked at his daughter. He then looked at Lu Qi, who was smiling, and wondered if the guy had ulterior motives for letting his son meet his daughter.
Xia Yu wouldn't say he understood Lu Qi, but he knew Lu Qi was a businessman who would never pursue a marriage alliance. If Lu Qi were someone who valued social standing and sought marriage alliances, he wouldn't have married Lin Ruo in the first place.
At that time, Lin Ruo was just Lu Qi's younger sister's piano teacher.
Lu Qi also felt Xia Yu's probing gaze, and he returned an innocent look.
Xia Yu was disgusted again.
After everyone was seated and ordered their food, they began chatting.
Lu Qi asked Xia Zhen, "Why did Zhenzhen go to No. 1 High School?"
Lu Chang'an waited calmly for Xia Zhen's answer. In fact, he had heard a lot of rumors at school. Some people said that the reason Xia Zhen transferred schools was because she was hurt by Song Heng.
Lu Chang'an was unsure whether the matter was true or false.
Xia Zhen explained, "I want to study in a different environment. I heard that the learning atmosphere at No. 1 High School is very good. In addition, my father has always hoped that I can get into a good university on my own merits, not by relying on my family. Of course, I can't let my father down."
Xia Yu never expected that Xia Zhen had this idea, which was why she wanted to transfer schools. His daughter was actually trying so hard to make him proud. He had an urge to take out his phone and give his daughter more pocket money.
He glanced at Lu Qi sitting opposite him, and straightened his back even more.
With such an outstanding daughter, won't we still have to find her a son-in-law eventually?
Lu Qi took a sip of water, his smiling eyes full of joy. "Zhenzhen is so young, yet so ambitious. That's wonderful. Chang'an, you should learn a lot from Zhenzhen."
Lu Chang'an nodded, "I will."
Xia Yu said indifferently, "My daughter has been sensible since she was a child. This kind of innate advantage cannot be learned later in life."
Lu Qi deeply agreed, "That's absolutely right. Zhenzhen is so outstanding, who knows which young master will be able to marry her in the future?"
Xia Zhen's heart skipped a beat. Hearing this, she felt that Uncle Lu seemed to be implying something.
Xia Yu said indifferently, "Of course, only the best man in the world is worthy of my daughter."
Lu Qi nodded again, "Yes, Xiaoyu is right."
What's wrong with this crazy guy, Lu?
I actually agreed with him today.
Xia Yu felt a little uncertain, and his gaze towards Lu Qi carried a hint of scrutiny.
Lu Qi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xiaoyu, I will keep my promise to you."
Xia Zhen asked, "What is it?"
Xia Yu's expression became somewhat unnatural. "Children shouldn't meddle in adult matters."
Just then, the food delivery person arrived.
It's unclear how the waiter placed the items, but when he put a glass of juice in front of Xia Zhen, the glass spilled, bumping into Lu Chang'an's glass opposite him. Both glasses of juice ended up on Xia Zhen's dress and Lu Chang'an's clothes.
