Mr. Ye was sincere in what he said, without a trace of falsehood. Lu Shiyan paused while pouring the tea, then returned to normal, "Grandpa Ye, let's just say this is over."
"Since it's over, why not give the two families a chance? How about giving the Ye family a chance with this piece of land? Otherwise, the Ye family may never recover." Old Master Ye had a face full of vicissitudes and helplessness, completely losing his former charm.
"Grandpa Ye, you know, private matters are private matters, and public matters are public matters." What Lu Shiyan meant by this was that there was no room for negotiation on this matter. No matter what he said, it was impossible. How could Grandpa Ye, who had seen many ups and downs, not understand what he meant?
He lowered his head slightly, his eyes filled with loneliness and emotion, as if he saw the passage of time and the traces of years. Then, he slowly stood up, his movements a little labored, as if he was burdened with the heavy burden of his past and responsibilities.
He took a deep breath, stared into the distance, and sighed softly: "The young are so promising... This era will eventually belong to young people like you. And we old guys can no longer keep up with the pace of the times. Well, this world will eventually belong to young people like you." His voice revealed a sense of helplessness and emotion.
He shook his head slightly, a faint wry smile on his face. He realized that his glorious days were over, and the stage was now occupied by a new generation of young people, who had lost their voice.
"It's getting old, it's getting old..." He muttered to himself, with a hint of self-mockery in his tone. Although he was unwilling, the situation could not be changed.
"Grandpa Ye, what are you talking about? You are still young." Lu Shiyan also stood up and comforted him.
"Okay, stop comforting an old man like me. I'm sorry for wasting your time today. I'm leaving now." Old Master Ye patted his shoulder.
"Grandpa Ye, why don't you stay for dinner? I'll take you home after dinner." Lu Shiyan said politely.
"No, go ahead and get busy." Old Master Ye knew that this trip would not yield any results. Instead of being slapped in the face here, it would be better to go back and think of a solution. So, he waved his hand and left.
Lu Shiyan watched him leave tremblingly before slowly looking away.
Old Master Ye stood at the foot of the Lu Building, looking up at the building with cloudy eyes, feeling a little sad: I didn't expect that after being full of vigor and vitality all his life, when he was old, he would have to beg for mercy from the young people. The world is really unpredictable.
"You have to accept your age." He said this and got into the car and left.
As expected, when the news of Lu's intention to bid for the land came out, the whole of Jinghua was in an uproar, and everyone was watching the excitement from the sidelines. The Ye family was also thrown into chaos. The stock market fell again and again, and messes ensued from all sides, leaving the group in a state of disarray.
Unlike the chaos of the Ye family, the Lu family continued to carry out their work in an orderly manner without any panic, and the stock market rose instead of falling.
"Hey, Mr. Lu, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to do this?" In the evening, Wen Ning had nothing to do, so he went back to his Plum Garden Villa with Lu Shiyan. The two of them sat on the sofa bored, while Wen Ning nestled in Lu Shiyan's arms and raised his head to ask him nonchalantly.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Lu Shiyan hugged her, touching her face from time to time. His whole mind was on the person in his arms. He had no intention of listening to what she said.
Wen Ning gently pushed him, "Can you please be more serious? I'm telling you something!"
"Okay, okay, I'm listening carefully." Lu Shiyan said this, but his hand did not stop and continued to stroke her cheek.
"Hey, are you even listening to me?" Wen Ning looked at him angrily. "If you keep doing this, I'll ignore you."
"Don't ignore me." Lu Shiyan hugged her and said softly, "I'm listening, please continue."
Wen Ning sighed helplessly, "I say, are you thinking about another woman? Why do you seem to be lost in thought when I'm talking to you?"
Lu Shiyan chuckled, his eyes full of doting, and said casually: "Yes, I'm thinking of a lovely woman..."
"Hmph! Then go pick her up, don't hang around me." Wen Ning turned away, not wanting to pay any more attention to him. Her heart was choking with anxiety. This idiot man actually dared to think about another woman right in front of her. He was so pissed off. She was going to kill him. He was so pissed off.
Seeing this, Lu Shiyan quickly turned her head and said with a smile, "What should I do? The woman I'm thinking of is angry and ignores me. How do you think I can comfort her?"
Wen Ning was still a little angry. "You can do whatever you want to comfort me. It's none of my business."
"It's over. It's really hard to coax you now. Look, your face is so ugly and dark. You're almost turning into the Black Mountain Demon." Lu Shiyan smiled and pinched her face teasingly.
Wen Ning's face darkened instantly, and he glared at him, "How dare you, Lu Shiyan, make fun of me? You're the Black Mountain Demon, girl. I'm a celestial fairy."
"Oh, a fairy?" Lu Shiyan tilted his head, pretending to think, then pulled her face with his hand, and said with satisfaction: "Well, this is what a fairy is."
Wen Ning's face was filled with black lines, and he was a little amused and helpless. "That's enough, you are so childish."
Lu Shiyan smiled and continued to hold her. "What's wrong with being childish? I'm only 18."
"Tsk, 18 years old? Mr. Lu? Uncle Lu, aren't you afraid of being laughed at if you say that? You are 18 years old, and I am only 3 years old." Wen Ning teased.
"That won't work. I can be 18, but you can't be 3."
"Hey, you're only allowed to be 18, but not me, a 3-year-old. You're quite authoritarian, aren't you?" Wen Ning found a comfortable position in his arms and continued to lie there.
"That's right. If you were three, where would I find a beauty like you?" Lu Shiyan said seriously. Wen Ning's lips curled up, her face bright and cheerful, and her mood improved. Who told her that Lu Shiyan was unromantic? He was clearly an expert in flirting, wasn't he? He had a set of tricks to flirt with people?
"Okay, then I'll be 18 and you'll be 20."
"That's fine, after all, you and I are in our prime, it's the right time."
"I never thought you were this kind of Mr. Lu."
"Yes, I will show you more different Mr. Lu in the future." Lu Shiyan lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
"Stop messing around, answer me quickly. Aren't you afraid that the Ye family will be ruined if you do this?" She looked at him with blinking eyes. She was so curious that she wanted to know the answer.
"Are you still in the mood to care about the life and death of the woman who wants to harm your man?" Lu Shiyan adjusted his posture and said lazily.
Wen Ning punched him in the chest. "Stop joking! Tell me now, or I'll pry you open."
"Well then, let's try to pry open her mouth." Lu Shiyan looked at her expectantly.
