“Find out who that man is. I want all his information.” Lu Shiyan’s expression was ugly.

At this moment, Madam Lu called again. “Hello, Shiyan, have you picked up Miaomiao? Has Miaomiao been doing well overseas for the past few years? Has she become prettier? Your father and I have already prepared dinner at home. When are you guys coming back?”

Madam Lu’s tone was very excited, but Lu Shiyan replied with mixed feelings, “She left.”

There was a moment of silence on the other end. Then, Madam Lu reprimanded softly, “Why are you so disappointing? How could you let Miaomiao leave? She fell out with her family back then, so where can she go now that she’s back in the country? You’re a grown man, but you couldn’t even stop Miaomiao? Is it because you weren’t nice enough that she left in anger?”

Before Lu Shiyan could answer, Mr. Lu snatched the cell phone back and comforted his wife. “Honey, don’t get angry over that brat. I’ll talk to him. Go drink a glass of water to calm down first.”

Right on the heels of that, Mr. Lu asked Lu Shiyan, “You didn’t pick her up?”

Lu Shiyan replied, “I didn’t pick her up.”

Mr. Lu said, “What else can you do other than work? Don’t come back tonight. Your mother and I don’t want to see you.”

Lu Shiyan’s subordinate, who sat in the front passenger seat, broke out in cold sweat. Who would have thought that the terrifying Mr. Lu… was like this in front of his parents?!

“Qin Miaomiao wants to treat you guys to a meal at Emperor Hotel tomorrow night.” Lu Shiyan did not mention breaking off the engagement. At the very least, he had to trick his parents over there first.

Mr. Lu said, “Really? Then your mother and I will prepare. Wifey, find the family heirloom and give it to Miaomiao tomorrow!”

When Lu Shiyan heard the words “family heirloom”, his eyebrows twitched. He didn’t say anything else and hung up.

The next day, when it was almost dark, Qin Miaomiao came out of the bathroom. After taking a shower, her fair face was flushed, and her lips were rosy. As she sat in front of the dressing table and looked at herself in the mirror, she slowly clenched her fists, as if she was mentally preparing herself. It had been more than ten years since her mother and grandfather passed away, and this was the first time she had agreed to meet the Lu family. It didn’t matter. She could do it. As long as she broke off the engagement, she would have nothing to do with the Lu family from now on.

“Mommy, are you done dressing up?” After Qin Xiaoshu suddenly opened the door, he saw Qin Miaomiao’s red eyes. He frowned and walked over as he asked, “Mommy, what’s wrong?”

Qin Miaomiao immediately suppressed her emotions and replied, “I’m fine. I’m done dressing up.”

“Mommy, what do you think of me in this outfit? Is it… appropriate for me to meet that man?” Qin Xiaoshu quickly changed the topic, for fear that Qin Miaomiao would notice something. Ever since he suspected that the handsome man at the airport was his biological father, Qin Xiaoshu researched a lot of Lu Shiyan’s information overnight. Now, he was 80% sure that Lu Shiyan was his father! However… his mommy didn’t seem to like his father very much.

Qin Miaomiao said, “We’re just going to annul the engagement. It doesn’t matter what we wear.”

Qin Xiaoshu said, “But that sir is the best man in the capital.”

Qin Miaomiao glanced at Qin Xiaoshu mysteriously. “Xiaoshu, anyone can be your biological father, except him. Do you know? Even though we came back to the country to find your biological father, we only want his bone marrow to treat your illness.”

Qin Xiaoshu nodded thoughtfully. So there was a huge grudge between Mommy and that man.

Half an hour later, Qin Miaomiao held Qin Xiaoshu’s hand as they walked into the Emperor Hotel. The Lu family members were waiting in the VIP lounge anxiously and looking at their watches from time to time. Madam Lu held Mr. Lu’s hand as she said, “Miaomiao is coming soon, right? Hubby, look at my clothes. Is my hair messy? Is my makeup smudged?”

Mr. Lu put his arm around his wife’s waist dotingly. “You look good. Don’t be nervous.”

“This is the first time I’m seeing Miaomiao, our daughter-in-law. How can I not be nervous?” Madam Lu sighed. “Our family owes Miaomiao too much. We won’t be able to repay her in this lifetime. I can’t get over it. I just want to treat Miaomiao better. I wonder if Miaomiao will like the gifts we brought. Did we prepare too few gifts?”

Madam Lu looked into the distance with a worried expression. She saw that the table was filled with gold, silver, and jewelry, as well as a hundred million yuan in cash as a greeting gift. The sight was so dazzling that it was almost blinding.
