When Lu Yunqi arrived home, his stepmother, Wang Jingyi, felt uncomfortable from head to toe. She directly brought a pot of tea and knocked on Lu Xun's door.
Lu Xun, who was looking through the documents, saw Wang Jingyi and asked coldly, "Is there something you need?"
Wang Jingyi placed the cup of tea on his table and said with a smile, "When I went upstairs, I saw Yun Qi coming back, so I came to tell you."
"Mmm, he's already been here. He said that he's a bit tired, so he'll go to the room to rest first." Remember to remind the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes that he likes to eat later. After staying abroad for so many days, you should eat something good when you go home. " Lu Xun said to Wang Jingyi.
However, the more he spoke, the more Wang Jingyi felt upset. When he and Lu Zhengting came back from abroad, she had never seen Lu Xun so concerned. Now that Lu Yunqi was back, she started to ask the kitchen to prepare more food. Just what was he thinking in his heart? He probably didn't care about the two of them at all.
The more Wang Jingyi thought about it, the more upset she felt. However, she didn't show it on her face, and still happily said, "I know, I'll go inform the kitchen later. Yun Qi is back, and I feel that the house has become quite lively."
"I don't know who his cold personality is, but only someone with a big heart like you would think that he came back home to have fun." Lu Tu laughed as he spoke.
"Speaking of which, Yun Qi is not young anymore, and we should get married. Because of what happened with Luo Ke, he has been depressed for so many years, and his family can't bear to see it. However, we don't dare to act on our own accord and find him …" As Wang Jingyi spoke, she secretly sized up Lu Xun in front of her. Seeing him frown because of her words, she did not continue speaking.
"I know what you mean, but he's already so old, he wouldn't listen even if I said so." Lu Meng had no choice but to say this as well.
"But people have to start a family. We don't need him to build a family now. We need to start a family and have a child." Wang Jingyi sighed as she spoke slowly.
"Well, actually, I'm also very worried about his marriage. I'll have a good chat with him after dinner to see what Yun Qi's attitude is like." He also seemed to be very worried about Lu Yunqi's marriage.
Seeing that her provocation had worked, Wang Jingyi did not stay any longer. She said to Lu Li, "I'll go down to the kitchen first and talk about a few more dishes. After you finish reading the documents, come over early for breakfast."
With that, she casually turned around and left Lu Xun's room, looking completely like a good wife.
By the time Lu Yunqi had finished packing his luggage and showered, it was already time for dinner. He dried his hair and replied to his work message on his mobile as he headed downstairs.
Not long after, everyone had sat down at the dining table. As the leader of the group, Lu Zhe coughed lightly and said to everyone, "Today, Yun Qi came back from abroad. The family will have a meal together as a welcoming reception."
Lu Yunqi nodded slightly, and then the group began to eat. In recent years, Lu Yunqi rarely returned home, and didn't often eat dinner with them. A faint sense of alienation filled the air around them.
Wang Jingyi seemed to be unable to bear this awkward situation and asked, "Did Yun Qi go abroad to play somewhere?"
"I went abroad for a meeting, so I don't have much time to play around." His answer was very stiff, and his tone was taunting, as if he felt the other party's question to be too stupid.
Wang Jingyi naturally heard the disdain in his words and smiled awkwardly. She turned her head and looked towards Lu Xun as if begging for help.
Seeing this, Lu Xun opened his mouth and said, "She also cares about you. Don't talk to her elders like that anymore."
Lu Yunqi nodded his head and said carelessly, "I got it."
Wang Jingyi nodded at Lu Xun before she left. When Lu Yunqi stood up to prepare to rest in his room, Lu Meng suddenly said, "Yunqi, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."
Lu Zhengting turned around to look at Lu Yunqi when he heard this. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, not understanding what Lu Tu was trying to tell him. Wang Jingyi noticed his doubt and gave his son a look.
At this moment, only Lu Xun and Lu Yunqi were left at the table. Looking at his eldest son, who was growing increasingly silent, Lu Meng sighed helplessly and said to him, "Sit down first, we'll talk slowly."
Lu Yunqi furrowed his brows in confusion. He didn't understand why Lu Meng had stopped him, so he asked straightforwardly, "Father, what do you want?"
"It's been a long time since father and son have had a heart to heart conversation. Yun Qi, I want to know if you have any girls you like recently?" He tried his best to make his tone as gentle as possible, hoping that he wouldn't arouse any resistance from Lu Yunqi.
However, hearing this, the other party seemed a bit dissatisfied. Lu Yunqi didn't show it on his face, but lowered his head and leisurely said, "I've been busy lately and haven't paid attention to these things."
His reply made Lu Meng a little angry. "You can't finish the job. As the boss, you have to learn to have the subordinates help you share the work. You don't have to do everything by yourself."
"I know my father." Lu Yunqi answered silently.
Lu Xun looked at him and said, "What I am going to say now, you may not be happy, but you must understand that as your father, I will naturally worry about your life. Look at yourself all these years, you're getting colder and colder. Even if it's for the past, you can't torture yourself like this. Yun Qi, it is time for you to consider the matter of marriage. "
He didn't want to talk about these things now, so he changed the topic and said to Lu Zhe, "The Huo Family has been seizing the Lu Family's entertainment market for the past five years. They are foreign capital companies, and many people who have seen the situation are already negotiating with them to enter the international market. "Don't even mention the limitless beauty Xing Ke recently, she's really under them."
Lu Meng nodded, gesturing for him to continue.
"In my opinion, the Lu Family has been established in the domestic market for many years and has accumulated a lot of connections and resources. These are things that the Huo Family cannot compare to. But we can't be complacent and content with what we have. "The Huo family is eyeing our resources covetously, and I'm also interested in the international resources they have. This is the best opportunity for us now. Once we finish dealing with the Huo family, the Star Dream Group will rise to the next level."
However, Lu Yunqi's lofty ambitions didn't move Lu Meng at all. Instead, he said in a bland voice, "Your dream is very good, but it's impossible to achieve it in a short period of time."
Wang Jingyi, who was eavesdropping on the side, was very pleased with herself when she heard this. She whispered to Lu Zhengting, "You carry the Ouyang Family well, so the rest is not a problem.
Lu Zhengting nodded obediently. With a cold expression, he looked at Wang Jingyi and the butler from head to toe.
