Although the man used a question, Liu Yuanyuan could hear the affirmation in his tone.

Liu Yuanyuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh as she sighed deeply.

She had long known that this Marriott was an asset of the Lu family, but she never expected that during a meal, she would run into Lu Mingle, the head of the Lu family.

Is this what they call "no coincidence in the world"?

Liu Yuanyuan, who had originally turned away, mechanically turned back, forced an awkward smile at Lu Mingle, and said, "Hello, Brother Lu."

Lu Mingle continued to smile at Liu Yuanyuan, but his voice remained calm as he said, "You actually know me. I heard from the third brother before that you just call him Third Brother. So can you also omit the word Lu in front of me, Big Brother?"

Liu Yuanyuan opened her mouth, wanting to retort, but in the end she just called out, "Big Brother."

Lu Mingle smiled and nodded in satisfaction. The elevator dinged and opened. He bent down slightly and reached out to help her press the door button.

Liu Yuanyuan hurriedly bowed slightly towards Lu Mingle, then immediately pulled her parents and left the elevator quickly.

Mr. and Mrs. Liu were in a daze from the moment they entered the elevator.

It wasn't until the elevator slowly closed and Liu Yuanyuan pulled them a distance away, then she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, that her mother finally recovered and said in disbelief, "Yuanyuan, do you know that guy in the elevator? Who is he? He looks very powerful. But I think he looks a little familiar."

Liu Yuanyuan looked back at the elevator with a complicated expression. In her previous life, she had rarely seen her brother smile like this. Even if she did, it was mostly towards Lu Meichen.

The most important thing was that no matter what mistakes Lu Meichen made, her elder brother always had a helpless yet doting smile on his face. It was the same smile she had longed for in the past.

But when he actually faced her, he usually had a stern look on his face, much like he had just in the elevator when he was listening to his subordinate's report. His brows were always furrowed, his mouth tightly pressed together, which subconsciously made her feel a sense of fear.

Liu Yuanyuan smiled wryly, shook her head, and said, "Not really. He's my classmate's older brother. He's usually quite serious and stern, but today I saw him smiling. I felt a little scared."

Liu's parents showed surprised expressions at the same time. Liu's mother said in surprise, "Ever since you woke up from your coma, I saw you being so arrogant outside. I thought you were fearless.

So you're still afraid of something. It seems that guy really has the CEO vibe. He must have a lot of girls chasing him."

Father Liu quickly interrupted Mother Liu: "What are you saying in front of the child?"

Mother Liu rolled her eyes at Father Liu. "Why can't we tell her? Yuanyuan is 16 years old after all. Isn't this already making people worry? Talking to her about these things now will help her open her mind. Don't let others cheat her and leave her counting money when she gets cheated."

Mother Liu glanced at Father Liu again as she spoke. Father Liu pursed his lips helplessly, not daring to say a word.

Liu Yuanyuan chuckled beside her. She was already in her twenties, so how could she not understand matters of the heart? It was just that she didn't think about it at all right now.

Then, Mama Liu said with a gossipy look on her face, "Looking at your classmate's brother's attitude, his family is quite rich."

Liu Yuanyuan gave a helpless fake smile, her lips stretched into a line. "Yes, yes, it's quite good. Although we're not the richest family in Beitan, we are still one of the best in Beitan."

But when Liu Yuanyuan's mother saw her expression, she immediately stopped believing it. "Oh my, you're bragging about your classmate to the heavens. Aren't you afraid your classmate might hurt his back? If someone from one of the top tycoons in Beitan could really go to No. 2 Middle School, wouldn't they have gone to Yucheng a long time ago? You're just trying to fool your mother."

Liu Yuanyuan didn't intend to explain to her mother. She said with a playful smile, "If you are truly mother, you saw through me at once. Nothing can be hidden from your eyes."

But Mother Liu's eyes were immediately filled with tenderness: "Yuanyuan, Mom has always thought that you are doing well like this, healthy and adorable. You have always been the apple of Mom's eye.

But Mom also knows that some vulgar people may not be able to accept you like this. But Yuanyuan, you must not hurt yourself just to please others, understand?"

After hearing what her mother said, Liu Yuanyuan felt a lump in her throat, her eyes reddened, and a feeling of grievance filled her heart.

She recalled the self-blame her mother felt when she was alone after her death in her previous life. She said the same thing.

But the mother blamed herself more for not staying with her firmly.

When she turned into a ghost, she also thought how nice it would be if someone had said these words to her when she was still alive.

But later she figured it out, and she probably wouldn't listen to any advice at that time. Fortunately, she was blessed by God and the little black cat and was able to live a new life.

Liu Yuanyuan suppressed the bitterness and grievance in her heart, shook her mother's arm and said coquettishly, "Mom, let's not talk about this anymore. Besides, I have no plans to get married in this life. I just want to stay by your side forever and be your daughter forever."

Mother Liu reached out and poked Liu Yuanyuan's head and said jokingly, "What are you talking about? How can mom and dad be with you forever? And even if you get married, it doesn't mean you will definitely leave mom and dad. You will always be our daughter."

While Liu Yuanyuan was chatting with her parents, Lu Mingle's rare smile disappeared as they waited for the elevator doors to close. His brows even furrowed slightly, which instantly put pressure on everyone around them.

However, Lu Mingle didn't notice any of this. Instead, he was thinking: Shouldn't this little girl be attending evening self-study with the third child? Why is she here? Are those man and woman her current adoptive parents?

He tilted his head slightly and said to the assistant beside him in a slightly cold voice, "The girl just now was called Liu Yuanyuan. Go check what she is doing here."

The assistant was a little confused, but Lu Mingle didn't explain. He waited for the elevator to reach the basement floor and left with a single step.

The assistant had no choice but to take the elevator back to the floor where Liu Yuanyuan had gotten off. He then grabbed the floor supervisor and whispered, "Is there a little girl on your floor who's here with her parents for dinner? She's not too tall, but she's chubby and a little cute. She's wearing the Beitan No. 2 Middle School uniform and carrying a black and red backpack."

The foreman was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and said with a smile on his face, "Yes, yes, there is, and it left a very deep impression. What? Are you looking for her? It's a pity that you are too late, she just left. Maybe you can still catch up with her now."
