In the blink of an eye, the day that the ninth brother and Yu Zhao had agreed to meet at the airport arrived.

Yu Zhao had specially asked Lu Kun to find a three-person Porsche 911. The two of them arrived at the capital’s airport just before the plane landed.

At this time, the airport was crowded with people as if some important person was coming.

Lu Kun parked his car by the side of the road. “The ninth brother’s flight will take a while. Wait here for a while. I’ll go get two cups of coffee.”

Lu Kun ran toward the coffee shop not far away, while Yu Zhao waited patiently in the same place.

After a while, she suddenly felt a little strange. She kept feeling that someone was watching her, but all she could see was the crowd moving around when she turned around.

Yu Zhao frowned. Could she be hallucinating?

Just as she was about to look away, she suddenly saw a familiar figure coming out of the crowd and walking straight toward her.

“Yu Zhao?” The figure walked to her side and called out to her.

Hearing the voice, Yu Zhao raised her head abruptly and widened her eyes in surprise.

“Un… uncle?” She looked at the familiar face in front of her in shock, and her mouth opened into an O shape.

“Why? Are you not happy to see me?” Mao Ming’s lips curled up teasingly and he reached out to rub her head.

Yu Zhao blinked and only reacted after a long while. “No, no, I’m just too surprised!”

“Oh? Is that so?” Mao Ming laughed. “I think you’re more like frightened.”

“No, no.” Yu Zhao touched her nose in embarrassment. “I haven’t seen you for many years, so I’m a little absent-minded.”

“It’s been a long time indeed. You’re finally willing to return.” Mao Ming smiled and said, “I was called back by big brother at the last minute. He has a piece of land taken.”

“So what if it’s taken? Can’t he bear to?” Yu Zhao coldly snorted in disdain.

Mao Ming raised his eyebrows and snorted. “Do you know why he sent me back?”

“Isn’t it because you’re a famous negotiator? Unlike me, who will only bring unpredictable disasters to him.” Yu Zhao pursed her lips.

Mao Ming shook his head. “You’re wrong. He’s just worried about you.”

Yu Zhao hid the strange look in her eyes. “Uncle, do you know that you’ve just said the funniest joke in the world?”

“Hehe,” Mao Ming smiled in embarrassment.

How could he not know that big brother had been too decisive back then, and the little girl still bore a grudge until now?

“You… I won’t persuade you anymore.”

As the two of them were talking, there was a sudden commotion in the distance.

“Eh? Isn’t that the ninth brother?” Yu Zhao turned her head in confusion. She saw a man wearing black clothes and sunglasses walking slowly toward them with his long legs.

“Ninth brother!” She raised her hand and waved at the mysterious man in sunglasses not far away.

“Are you here to pick up your friend?” Mao Ming followed her line of sight and also saw the ninth brother.

“Yeah. Do you want to go with us later?” Yu Zhao asked.

“No,” Mao Ming declined. “To be honest, the company has sent a car. I’ll go first. See you later.”

“Bye!”

After Mao Ming left, the ninth brother also reached her side.

He was tall and burly, two heads taller than Yu Zhao. Even through his sunglasses, Yu Zhao could still feel a sense of pressure, but this did not make her retreat.

“Ninth brother.” She grinned. “It’s better to come at the right time!”

The ninth brother nodded slightly. Then he took off his sunglasses, revealing his handsome face.

His facial features were well-defined, and his deep-set facial features exuded an innate nobility.

Yu Zhao’s eyes widened slightly. “Ninth brother, how did you lose so much weight?”

“Yes.” Lu Dong coughed softly and avoided her gaze. “I’m working outside, and I have to work overtime until very late every day, so…”

“Big brother, you’re here.” At this moment, Lu Kun walked over with two cups of coffee. He suddenly felt embarrassed. “I’m sorry, I didn’t prepare yours. I thought it would still take you a while.”

Lu Dong shook his head and said, “It’s fine. Don’t drink too much coffee. It’s not good for your health.”

“Yes, we understand!” Yu Zhao took the cup of coffee from Lu Kun and took a big gulp. “Ninth brother, it’s my treat today. What do you want to eat?”

“You guys enjoy. I still have to rush back to a meeting.” Lu Dong opened the car door and got in.

Yu Zhao and Lu Kun looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders in tacit understanding.
