Fang Zhou, I'm just a farmer, not Shennong!

It is impossible no matter how enthusiastic or polite you are.

Unless, the status of this male friend is enough to make Mr. Adams so enthusiastic.

All those present were Shi Huaiya's uncles, aunts and uncles, some of them were biological uncles, and some were cousins. They were all very smart and shrewd.

How could they not have guessed this?

In an instant, the contemptuous looks in their eyes immediately subsided, and no one dared to reveal even a little bit.

"Let me introduce it to you."

"This is the friend Beatrix brought home to play with, our Longmen's famous Lu Yuan, Mr. Lu!"

As soon as I heard the name Lu Yuan.

Everyone present had heard of this, and their eyes suddenly widened in shock.

Of course they knew Lu Yuan's name.

Because they knew this, everyone immediately became respectful. The middle-aged man in the lead, who was much older than Lu Yuan and could be considered an uncle, immediately stood up. He raised his wine glass and laughed loudly, "Mr. Lu! I've heard a lot about you! I toast to you!"

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp. Lu Yuan nodded politely and sipped the drink lightly. Then more people stood up and toasted Lu Yuan respectfully.

As for their children, they were also "driven" to toast Lu Yuan and asked to call him brother or big brother.

Such a scene.

Shi Huaiya was particularly happy in his heart.

Old man Adams was also very satisfied. With Lu Yuan around, these uncles and aunts, who were veterans in the business world, were able to open up.

Everyone kept talking and the atmosphere was lively.

Seeing that Lu Yuan didn't move his chopsticks for a minute or two, someone immediately brought some food to him. Seeing that Lu Yuan didn't eat a certain dish, someone immediately told the chef to change it.

The main focus throughout the process is high emotional intelligence.

The various big men who are successful in the business world, although they appear to be very aloof at ordinary times, seem unable to say a word more.

But this group of big guys happens to be the best at licking people in the world.

After all, these days, if you don't flatter and lick, you can't reach such a high position.

This is true even in large families.

They knew very well how valuable Lu Yuan was and his status in Longmen.

Although they didn't know as much about Lu Yuan as old man Adams, what they knew was enough for them to choose to cling to him.

Moreover.

Since Lu Yuan and Beatrix returned home, Lu Yuan is most likely the son-in-law of Shi Huaiya's family.

Beatrix chose to join the Guards, and now she has a high status, so it is impossible for her to leave.

Then maybe old man Adams would turn around and leave the entire Shi Huaiya family to the couple.

If Beatrix is not available, Lu Yuan can naturally take care of it.

This situation would never happen to any other son-in-law in the family.

but...

Except Lu Yuan.

They could see how satisfied and passionate the look in their father's (uncle's) eyes was when he looked at Lu Yuan.

A sumptuous lunch ended in this 'harmonious' atmosphere.

Old man Adams originally wanted to keep Lu Yuan for dinner or even stay here.

But Lu Yuan had something else to do soon, so he wished the old man a happy new year in advance.

At this time, Shi Huaiya also expressed his intention to go to Dahuang City this year.

Originally, Shi Huaiya thought that his grandfather would hesitate or refuse. After all, at the beginning of the year, he had vowed that he would be at home this year.

However, Mr. Adams showed no sign of hesitation.

"Of course."

"My dear granddaughter, remember, you need to be polite when meeting Master Shu. During the New Year, be diligent and help out in the kitchen. Okay?"

"When you leave, go home and get some New Year's goods. You didn't bring any last year, so you must bring some this year!"

Shi Huaiya's head was like pounding garlic.

But the corners of his mouth could not help but smile.

"Xiao Yuan~"

Before leaving, Mr. Adams sighed and said, "If you have time in the future, remember to come back with Beatrix."

"Affirmative, Grandpa Adams."

Lu Yuan smiled.

"Whenever I return to Longmen, I will come to see you with Shi Huaiya."

After saying that, the two of them left the Shi Huaiya family's manor and walked on the road in the city.

There was heavy snow falling from the sky.

Shi Huaiya was like an elf, jumping and skipping on the snow.

"Xiao Yuan, I'm so happy that you can go home with me to see grandpa."

"After all, I brought Mr. Adams's precious granddaughter home for the New Year, so it's only natural for me to visit him."

Lu Yuan put his hands in his coat pockets and talked as he walked.

Shi Huaiya turned her head upwards, glanced at Lu Yuan's angular face with her bright eyes again, then turned her head away, feeling indescribably happy.

“But I’m still happy.”

"Actually, whether you come or not, I will go back to Dahuang City with you, Xiao Yuan."

"Thank you~~"

Shi Huaiya's voice was so sweet that it seemed to turn the snowflakes around her into cotton candy.

The scene of the two of them in the wind was like an idol drama.

suddenly.

Shi Huaiya trotted over and threw herself into Lu Yuan's arms. This time, she didn't just want a hug, but she tiptoed and kissed Lu Yuan's lips with her pink lips.

Even if it was only for a moment.

But it made Lu Yuan stunned.

Shi Huaiya let go of Lu Yuan, her face flushed, shyness mixed with joy, her eyes like water.

"Hehe~~ This time, I'm ahead of Stinky Rat and Little Anso~~"

After saying that, Shi Huaiya ran forward with her long straight legs stepping on the winter snow.

Lu Yuan looked at Shi Huaiya's lively back, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he chuckled, revealing half of his neat teeth. Then he put his hands in his pockets and continued to follow Shi Huaiya.

Volume 1: Chapter 131 Teacher Shu, this is a gift for you!

After visiting Shi Huaiya's grandfather.

As soon as Lu Yuan got back to the car, he immediately picked up another batch of New Year's goods and went to visit the Rat King with Lin Yuxia.

"The Rat King should probably be considered retired now, right?"

Lu Yuan was holding New Year's goods in both hands and asked Lin Yuxia beside him with a smile.

Lin Yuxia pursed her lips and smiled: "I guess so."

"At least my father hasn't asked about the downtown area for a long time. He only asks me a few questions about the situation there when he remembers."

"Even my father's former secretaries and assistants, he told them not to follow him around anymore."

"Now my father's life basically means getting up early in the morning, like an ordinary old man, carrying a pot of wine and heading to the morning tea shop near home to drink, eat morning tea and chat with the old men in his family."

"After that, I'll take a walk in the park, visit the shopping mall and the vegetable market, queue up for discounted vegetables at the supermarket, go to the candy store, or watch square dancing at my doorstep."

After hearing what Lin Yuxia said, Lu Yuan's mind already appeared the scene of the Rat King taking a stroll like an ordinary old man.

If you think about it carefully, it's actually quite interesting.

Just think about it.

Who would have thought that the old man who was standing there grabbing the discounted dishes would actually be the legendary king of the slums, the second most important person in the entire Longmen.

Lu Yuan and Lin Yuxia chatted while driving, and soon arrived next to the candy store in the main city.

Before he stopped, Lu Yuan had already seen the figure of the Rat King.

He did not sit inside the candy store, but sat in the corner of the square under the shopping mall next to the candy store, playing chess with a group of old men.

"dad."

The two walked over and Lin Yuxia shouted.

Uncle Lin, who was pondering over his next move, immediately turned his head. When his eyes fell on Lu Yuan beside Lin Yuxia, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Uncle Lin, long time no see."

Lu Yuan smiled.

"Come back~"

Lin Gerui replied kindly.

He immediately said to his old friends, "Sorry, everyone, the kids are back, I have to go home. We can go back when we have time."

After saying that, Lin Gerui stood up and left with Lu Yuan and Lin Yuxia.

After Lin Gerui left, several old men who were playing or watching chess around also spoke up.

"It seems that having a son-in-law will make you old. Old Lin is really lucky. His daughter is beautiful and his son-in-law is tall and handsome.

"Old Lin is enjoying her old age. I heard that last year, she was still working at such an old age, busy as a madman, and it was hard and tiring. Later, I heard that her daughter became a senior executive and made a lot of money every year. Old Lin finally took a break."

"Old Sun, you're feeling good too. Your son has a good job too. He's a sheriff in the Guards Bureau and has quite a few people under him. Tsk tsk."

The old man surnamed Sun shook his head: "It's a pity that the boy still doesn't even have a partner."

"It's a pity that I met Lao Lin so late, otherwise I would definitely introduce my son to Lao Lin."

While these old men were discussing.

Lu Yuan has followed the Rat King and Lin Yuxia back home.

Sitting on the sofa in a familiar position, Lin Gerui went to the shop in front and grabbed a handful of candy and placed it in front of Lu Yuan.

"How come you have time to come here?"

Lin Gerui smiled and said, of course he understood, but he didn't say it.

"Isn't the New Year coming soon? I just stopped by to see Uncle Lin."

"Hahaha~ You're so thoughtful! You even remember to look after your Uncle Lin. You didn't even bother telling your Uncle Lin that you were going to Ursus. Did you really think that Old Wei and I wouldn't know you were going there?"

Lu Yuan scratched his head and smiled. "At that time, I just wanted to stay in Ursus for a few months and then come back. Besides, Uncle Lin, you know that my current identity is very sensitive. When I came back, I heard from Yuxia that there were dozens of assassinations during my absence."

"How's the situation in Ursus?"

Lin Gerui continued to ask about Lu Yuan's work situation.

"is acceptable."

"An agreement has been reached with Emperor Fyodor of Ursus and Chancellor Witte."

"Now that the Minliang Association has completely established itself in Saint Jun Castle, the next step is expansion."

After hearing what Lu Yuan said.

Lin Gerui felt only relief in his heart.

His vision at that time was indeed correct.

Lu Yuan is not a simple creature in a pond. He can easily transform into a dragon in a short period of time.
