Mr. Gu's little darling is incredibly cool!

As she approached, Lu Qingyun spotted a familiar face.

"Qingqing, this is Mr. Yuan, you should call him Grandpa Yuan. And these two, you can call them Uncle and Aunt."

An Qiong gave Lu Qingyun a brief introduction.

Lu Qingyun also greeted them politely, her gaze briefly meeting Yuan Yu's.

The latter grinned at her broadly.

"Ayu, do you know Miss Lu?"

Aunt Yuan noticed their subtle interaction and asked out of curiosity.

"We just met."

Yuan Yu had a good impression of Lu Qingyun, and his tone of voice became lighter as he spoke.

Ok?

Why are you smiling so happily at each other right after you met?

This is truly rare.

Mr. Yuan glanced at Yuan Yu in surprise.

"Alright, it's good for you young people to get to know each other. The banquet has started, let's go and sit down."

Yuan Ma and An Qiong were good friends. After exchanging only a few words, Yuan Ma took An Qiong's hand and the two walked towards the dining table.

Today's guests are all from high society, and tonight is the Yuan family's special night, so there are quite a few people coming over to offer toasts.

"Come over here, I'll sit with you."

Yuan Yu slipped away from Old Master Yuan and moved to Lu Qingjun's side.

Lu Qingyun, who was eating a small pastry on her plate, moved to the side upon hearing this.

"Is this delicious?"

Yuan Yu glanced at the pastries in Lu Qingyun's hand, frowned, and asked a question.

"It's alright, but there are a bit too many lotus leaves in this pastry. It's less fragrant and has a bit too bitter."

Lu Qingyun subconsciously made a comment.

Yuan Yu didn't know much about these medicinal herbs, but he found it somewhat unbelievable that Lu Qingyun could identify the herbs in the pastry.

Because the banquet was held for her grandfather, most of the food tonight was geared towards Mr. Yuan's taste, and was mainly medicinal cuisine.

These dishes were all cooked by people from the pharmaceutical association that her parents specially invited.

She disliked the medicinal taste of these things, so she didn't touch the pastries or dishes at all.

But seeing how much Lu Qingyun was enjoying her food, she suddenly felt that trying it herself wouldn't hurt.

"Next time, tell them to use less lotus leaves."

As Yuan Yu spoke, she picked up a pastry and took a bite.

Mr. Yuan heard every word of their conversation.

This girl actually knows about medicinal cuisine?

Mr. Yuan was quite surprised.

The news that Lu Qingyun had come from the countryside spread throughout the capital. He hadn't expected that she would know these things.

It seems the saying "rumors stop with the wise" is indeed true.

This girl is far more capable than they seem.

Lu Qingyun felt a burning gaze linger on her for a long time. She looked up and stared straight at it.

My gaze met that of Mr. Yuan.

Lu Qingyun neither dodged nor avoided the gaze, but looked directly at her.

The latter laughed, "You know about medicinal cuisine?"

Mr. Yuan suddenly spoke up.

Those present were all people of high status, and as soon as Yuan spoke, they all subconsciously looked over.

However, when they saw that Elder Yuan was talking to Lu Qingyun, the expressions of the others changed.

Although Lu Qingyun has married into the Gu family, her status as a country girl cannot be changed. Why would Old Yuan bother to talk to someone from such a place?

Lu Qingyun replied in a calm and unhurried tone, "The elders in the family understand."

It seems to be something they've been familiar with.

Mr. Yuan hummed in agreement and didn't ask anything else. He simply turned his head and continued chatting with the people at the table about business.

Anqiong was afraid that Lu Qingyun would feel embarrassed, so she put some food in her bowl and said, "Tell Mom what you want to eat."

Lu Qingyun looked at the mountain of vegetables piled up in the bowl and nodded heavily.

Yuan Yu was trying not to laugh.

Just then, a commotion arose at the door.
