"okay!"

By this time, most people had dispersed; some went to the subway station, while others rented a shared electric scooter.

"Wen Yao?"

At this moment, Wen Yao heard a familiar voice and quickly turned around.

"Jiang Han, what a coincidence?"

Jiang Han happened to be standing on the steps of Wangjiang Pavilion, looking at Wen Yao standing below the stage.

The staff behind Wen Yao waved goodbye and walked towards Jiang Han.

"I was just about to go in. When did you get back?"

"I got back yesterday, didn't you see the news?"

Jiang Han smiled.

"That's right, you were trending on social media yesterday for donating a cultural relic."

Wen Yao raised her chin.

"Yes."

The two stood at the restaurant entrance exchanging pleasantries.

"By the way, I heard you bought an aircraft carrier?"

"Yes, just think of it as a protective charm."

Jiang Han smiled.

"It's pretty good, but you still need to be careful, you might get investigated."

Jiang Han offered a reminder.

Wen Yao frowned.

"It's alright. Nobody's contacted me lately, and my aircraft carrier is in international waters, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"I haven't been through this either, but you can come to me if you need help."

Wealthy people in China are usually quite low-key. Even if they really want to buy an aircraft carrier, they will make preparations in advance to suppress the trending topics.

Such people typically spend ten million a year on public relations, simply to avoid having their names appear in the public eye too often.

"Alright then, I'll try to keep a low profile."

Wen Yao felt it was too late to say all this now. She didn't know who had such good connections before, but her purchase of an aircraft carrier went viral.

"I have something to do, so I'll go in first."

Wen Yao nodded.

After Jiang Han left, Wen Yao drove her Ferrari back to He Feng Villa.

Just as she was getting ready to rest that evening, she suddenly received a call from Lu Zhengran.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"Yaoyao, our family hasn't seen each other for a long time. Mom and Dad would like to have lunch with you tomorrow."

Wen Yao thought about it and agreed.

"no problem."

After all, they were family, and the eldest branch of the Lu family treated Wen Yao quite well.

Hearing Wen Yao agree, Lu Zhengran breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you at the Lu residence tomorrow at noon."

Then the two hung up the phone.

After Lu Zhengran hung up the phone, Lu Shan and Chen Shuhua were looking at him expectantly.

"Hearing what you just said, Yao Yao should be considered to have agreed, right?"

Lu Shan usually had a strict demeanor at the company, and this was the first time Lu Zhengran had ever seen him with this expression.

"Yes, I agree."

Lu Shan patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yaoyao is so kind, she truly deserves to be my child."

"Hey, what's wrong with you now? Why are you so easily satisfied?"

Looking at Lu Shan, Chen Shuhua felt that he didn't seem like her husband at all.

"Sigh, what can I do? I'm already very content that Yao Yao can come back to see us."

"That's true. We didn't raise her when she was little, and the second branch of the family bullied her before. We owe Yao Yao something."

Silence fell over the main house of the Lu family mansion. When they thought about the past, they felt that they owed Wen Yao too much. But now Wen Yao lacked nothing, and they didn't even have the chance to make amends.

The next day, Wen Yao woke up at ten o'clock. After getting ready and putting on some light makeup, she drove directly to the Lu residence.

Wen Yao wore a white tracksuit today and tied her hair in a high ponytail. She looked youthful and energetic, and her presence added a youthful vibe to the entire Lu Mansion after she entered.

"Yaoyao, come quick."

Chen Shuhua was wearing a blue cheongsam with a silk shawl draped over her shoulders. When she saw Wen Yao enter, she quickly walked over to her and took her hand.

"Yaoyao, how are things going in L country? You look thinner."

Wen Yao looked down

"It's alright. I've been eating a lot lately, and I thought I had gained weight."

The two chatted for a while, and soon they entered the restaurant.

The housekeeper has already placed all the dishes prepared by the chef on the dining table.

"Yaoyao, please sit down. We don't know what kind of food you like, so we asked the chef at home to make extra. We have all eight major cuisines."

Lu Shan also quickly came forward to greet Wen Yao.

Finally, Wen Yao sat between Chen Shuhua and Lu Shan, while Lu Zhengran sat next to Lu Shan.

Wen Yao glanced at the dining table.

"Where's Grandma? Hasn't she come yet?"

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit tense when Grandma Lu was mentioned, and Chen Shuhua finally spoke first.

“Your grandmother has been living in a manor in the mountains recently. She doesn’t feel comfortable living in the city, so she asked us to send her to the manor.”

Grandma Lu did go to the manor, but she was also saddened by the emptiness of the house.

Also, he didn't want to see Wen Yao, so he went to the manor on the mountain.

It's better if we can't see it, so that no one is unhappy.

Wen Yao understood; the old lady wasn't planning to forgive her yet.

However, she is easygoing and doesn't care about these things. If she cared about everyone's opinions, how could she live a peaceful life?

"Yaoyao, why didn't Song Zhiqian come?"

Chen Shuhua asked curiously

“I remember he used to always follow you around.”

Wen Yao took a sip of soup

"Oh, he's been busy learning from my assistant at the company lately, so I rarely see him during the day. If I'm not at work, I only see him when I'm having dinner in the evening."

Wen Yao is sometimes too lazy to go to the company, but Song Zhiqian has developed a good habit of perfect attendance, so the two see each other less often.

"By the way, did you need to see him for something?"

Chen Shuhua smiled.

"Oh, it's nothing. I was just thinking that we'll all be family now, so I asked casually. I thought he would come with us today."

Wen Yao suddenly remembered Song Zhen and Lu Zhengran's engagement.

Suddenly, I couldn't drink the soup in the bowl anymore.

"Yes, your brother and that girl from the Song family are having their engagement banquet in half a month."

"So fast?!"

Wen Yao put down her bowl and looked at them with a surprised expression.

"Is it fast? They've been together for over six months already."

Chen Shuhua didn't understand why her daughter had such a strong reaction, but she thought it was normal.

Moreover, both her son and the younger member of the Song family were in a consensual relationship.

"Half a year...that's still a bit fast, isn't it? I feel that Lu Zhengran and Sister Song Zhen's feelings for each other aren't very strong."

Wen Yao expressed herself in a relatively tactful way.

“It’s not intense, but Song Zhen and I have known each other since high school. We know each other well, so there’s no risk in this marriage.”

Wen Yao raised an eyebrow; it turned out that marriage was a risk for them to consider.

"If you're worried about the risks, then why get married in the first place?"
