On New Year's Eve, Lu Xian gave the driver a holiday a few days earlier, and drove across most of the urban area by himself.

When the sun was completely sinking, he parked the car in the courtyard of the old house.

In winter, it gets dark early and the night is quiet, but it is different from the quietness of Lu's house. The old house is brightly lit and people come and go.

As soon as he got out of the car, he saw the old butler come out of the door in a hurry, and called him kindly and respectfully, "Master."

Not everyone deserves the title of old housekeeper.

Compared with the young master who disappeared all the year round and the playboy-like second young master, in the hearts of most servants in the old house, the third young master who grew up under Mr. Lu's lap is the young master in their hearts.

Lu Xian nodded slightly, walked into the door without saying a word.

The interior is as warm as spring, and the surrounding wall lamps are on, as if it were daytime. The interior and exterior have been well-arranged, brimming with the festiveness of the New Year.

Lu Xian glanced at it and went straight to the living room.

Under the bright yellow chandelier, there were two people sitting in the middle of the sofa. Mr. Lu, who was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, had gray temples and a ruddy complexion. There was a kind smile on his usually serious face, and he was talking to Lu Fuling.

He watched from a distance, and subconsciously lightened his steps.

The old housekeeper followed closely behind Lu Xian, seeing his actions, he sighed slightly in his heart.

In the past, such a picture also appeared.

The young master who was brought up by Jin Zunyugui, although stubborn and quarrelsome, is also sensible and measured, and he is even closer to the old man.

However, once there is a rift in the relationship, it can never be reconciled as before.

Lu Xian walked to the sofa and said calmly, "Grandpa, I'm back."

Not long after he came in, his body was still cold from the outside, and he stood a few steps away from old man Lu. His eyes moved slightly, and he pointed to the sofa, "Come back, sit down."

Lu Xian sat down next to Lu Fuling.

The servant standing beside him quickly brought Lu Xian a cup of hot tea.

The mist rising from the teacup covered his face. He looked at the two people sitting beside him and said softly, "Brother, Brother."

Lu Yun sat upright, but looked very gentle, and smiled slightly at Lu Xian, "The third brother is back."

Lu Yun and his wife have a deep relationship, and they have always been inseparable from Mengmeng, but this year they did not see her.

Lu Xian asked with concern, "Why don't you see my sister-in-law..." He paused, saw Lu Li who was also sitting alone beside him, and said, "And the second sister-in-law?"

As soon as the words fell, Mr. Lu snorted coldly.

Lu Li lazily raised his eyelids, his peach blossom eyes half-smile, and sarcastically said, "Second sister-in-law? She won't be anymore soon."

Lu Yun patted his younger brother on the shoulder to make him stop talking, and said softly, "Don't listen to your second brother's nonsense."

"Your sister-in-law has something to do with her family, so she stayed abroad, and so did her second sibling."

Mr. Lu didn't say a word, but his face was not very good-looking. Obviously this was not the case, but he didn't say much because he was concerned about Lu Fuling who was on the side.

The atmosphere became a little stiff for a moment, Lu Xian patted Fuling's hand and changed the subject, "Fuling has lost weight."

When mentioning his favorite great-grandson, Mr. Lu withdrew his gaze from staring at Lu Li, and his expression became softer, "I'm thinner, but also taller."

Lu Fuling held Lu Xian's hand, raised his head, and called him softly, "Uncle."

Lu Fuling has always been gentle and respectful, he smiles a little when he sees people, and rarely has such a depressed expression.Lu Xian knew this child well, and also knew the virtues of his second brother and sister-in-law.

He squeezed Lu Fuling's hand reassuringly. Before he could say anything, Lu Li said coolly, "Lu Fuling, did you call me after I've been here for so long?"

Mr. Lu glanced over coldly, "Do you look like a father?"

Lu Li was about to talk back angrily, but Lu Yun pressed his shoulder and looked at the butler beside him, "Uncle Chen, is the meal ready?"

The old housekeeper bowed, "It's ready."

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the old man called Lu Xian to the study on the second floor.

With the prosperity of the Lu family, Lu Xian's ability is obvious to all, and Mr. Lu is also relieved. All affairs are handed over to Lu Xian, and he only asks occasionally.

After a few conversations, the old man picked up the teacup and took a sip of the stomach-warming hot tea, "I plan to let Xiaoling stay with you for a while."

Lu Xian paused with his fingertips, a little surprised.

He could naturally see that something was wrong with Lu Li today. It was just a purely commercial marriage of his second brother and second sister-in-law. In private, the two of them had always cared about meat and vegetables.

He glanced at the worried old man, but didn't ask any more details. He just kept this matter in his mind and prepared to investigate later, "When?"

"After the first month."

In such a hurry?

Lu Xian frowned slightly, nodded and said, "Okay."

As if a matter of concern had been resolved, Old Man Lu stood up and walked behind the desk, "Xiaoling is almost an adult, you can guide him so that he can get in touch with the company's affairs as soon as possible, so as not to be in a hurry in the future."

This probably meant to end the conversation. Lu Xian stood up with him and responded, "I will make arrangements for him after the college entrance examination."

The old man nodded, lowered his head to look at the paintings unfolded on the desk, and suddenly said, "I heard that you adopted a child."

Lu Xian paused, "Yes."

The old man remained expressionless, and asked again, "Why didn't you bring him back?"

Lu Xian looked flat, "It's not suitable."

He thought about it early on.

It's not a big deal for him to adopt a child, even if it needs to be recorded in the Lu family tree, it's not a big deal.

It's just that Song Jue's background is embarrassing after all. Although he doesn't care about the past, the old man definitely can't accept it.

The grandson whom he loved since he was a child turned against him for the sake of others. Even though the times have changed and the world has changed, it is still a thorn in the heart of the old man.

Lu Xian was unwilling to do such a thing.

But the existence of Song Jue is already a fact. Rather than concealing it to attract suspicion, it is better to put it on the bright side. On the contrary, the old man will not pay attention to Song Jue's background.

Mr. Lu snorted, raised his head and glanced at him, "Why isn't it appropriate?"

Lu Xian looked at him, and said bluntly, "I'm not training him for the Lu family, the future is naturally up to him."

Mr. Lu looked at him for a while, then snorted, "You are quite enlightened."

Lu Xian lowered his eyes, "Everyone has the right to choose."

Mr. Lu was taken aback when he heard the words, then smiled, sat on the chair and waved his hands, "It's as long as you have a sense of proportion."
