After getting off the car, Lu Jian hurried towards the gate. It was raining lightly outside, and the assistant tried to hold an umbrella for him, but he blocked them.
Seeing Lu Jian's return, Shi Xuexian knew that Lu Zhen had tipped him off, and her younger brother's project was probably delayed again.
Her face became ugly, and she glared at Lu Yan angrily.
When Lu Jian saw Lu Yan, she couldn't believe her eyes. She staggered towards her, stroked her face with trembling hands, and called out, "Yan Yan."
Today, my grandfather is only in his early forties. He maintains a well-proportioned physique when he was young. He does not have the greasy feeling of a middle-aged man with a big belly. There is a little hoarfrost on his temples, but his expression is still handsome and his eyes are like eagles. .
Grandpa was so handsome when he was young.
The Lu family's gene is so good, it turns out that it has already been reserved at Grandpa's place.
She called blankly: "Grandpa."
Lu Jian's eyes were moist, but with a smile on her face, she said excitedly, "That's right, this is my silly daughter Yan Yan! It's her!"
Lu Zhen smiled: "Yes, I recognized it at a glance!"
Lu Jian was immersed in the joy of finding her precious daughter back after losing her. She didn't hear Lu Zhen talking about her father at all.
Lu Jian took Lu Yan's hand, and sat on the sofa with her: "Yan Yan, tell Dad quickly, how did you come back, how have you been all these years?"
Lu Yan really didn't know how to answer, she didn't want to pretend to be a sister-in-law, she just wanted to let her father and grandfather know the truth of the matter.
But no one believed the truth of the Arabian Nights.
"That... grandpa, I'm Lu Yan, your granddaughter, his daughter." Lu Yan pointed to Lu Zhen.
Lu Zhen raised her eyebrows, he was used to Lu Yan calling each other affectionately.
Lu Jian laughed heartily, and nodded Lu Yan's nose: "That's right, this is Yanyan. Except for Yanyan, there is no such silly girl in the world."
Lu Yan: ...
This is what it feels like to be speechless.
Shi Xuexian saw that Lu Jian had identified the girl as her daughter, so she changed her face as if she was flipping through a book, sat down affectionately, and held Lu Yan's hand—
"Oh, look at me, I haven't seen Yanyan for so long, I almost don't recognize her."
Shi Xuexian's eyes were full of tenderness, and she caressed Lu Yan's face: "Yanyan has suffered a lot outside these years, it's really distressing."
Lu Yan didn't pay much attention to her, Lu Zhen's eyes almost rolled to the ceiling.
Sichuan opera has never changed so quickly.
Shi Xuexian seemed to want to show her maternal love in front of Lu Jian, so she pulled Lu Yan and refused to let go: "Yanyan, do you still remember who I am?"
"Remember, step-grandmother."
Lu Zhen burst out laughing with a "poof", and even Lu Jian laughed heartily.
Shi Xuexian's complexion collapsed, becoming extremely ugly.
Grandma's title, let's treat her as a joke for a mentally retarded child. The problem lies in the word "post", reminding her all the time, even this fool knows that she is just a stepmother.
After all, Shi Xuexian was still Shi Xuexian, and the displeasure on her face disappeared in minutes, she hugged Lu Yan and said, "I am mother, my name is mother."
Lu Yan was about to be vomited by the strong scent of perfume on her body, and pushed her away in disgust, feeling disgusted.
Seeing that her youngest daughter resisted Shi Xuexian very much, Lu Jian said with a somber face, "That's enough, she has her own mother, don't teach her indiscriminately, she can call her whatever she likes, don't force her."
Seeing that Lu Jian was unhappy, Shi Xuexian dared not say anything.
Lu Jian asked Lu Yan: "Which room do you want to sleep in tonight? The most important thing in our house is a room. Choose the one you like."
Lu Yan didn't want to bother her family too much, so she simply said, "Then just live in my sister-in-law's previous room."
As soon as this remark was made, Shi Ya, who was standing beside her, became even more displeased: "It's my room now."
Shi Xuexian immediately gave her a wink, and smiled to ease the atmosphere: "Since my sister has come back, Xiaoya, you give up the room."
Shi Ya said sullenly: "I'm living well now, why should I give up my room as soon as she comes back, it's too unfair."
Her voice was very low, maybe she knew she had no confidence. After all, her surname is not Lu.
Lu Yan looked at Shi Ya's depressed appearance, and thought that there were so many rooms in the house, but she lived in my sister-in-law's room, and she probably meant to replace it.
In this way, she couldn't let this girl succeed.
After her grandfather passed away, a stepdaughter with a foreign surname like Shi Ya received a lot of dowry, including a well-run company, but her father Lu Zhen didn't get a dime.
It can be seen how good at dancing this mother and daughter are.
Shi Ya grumbled aggrievedly, saying that she was used to living in that room, and she didn't want to move, so she could tidy up another guest room when her sister came back.
Seeing that Shi Ya was about to cry, Shi Xuexian looked weak and pitiful, and it was hard not to move her face, so she stopped talking and just kept looking at Lu Jian with her eyes to see what he meant.
However, before Lu Jian could speak, Lu Yan said in a muffled voice, "Why should I live in a guest room?"
Shi Xuexian cast a sharp glance at Lu Yan.
"Grandpa, I don't want to sleep in the guest room." Lu Yan looked at Lu Jian: "Can I sleep in my previous room?"
Lu Jiandang immediately said to Shi Ya: "Go and pack your things, move to the guest room, and let Yanyan live in the original room."
Shi Ya's tears came as soon as she said it, and she clenched her teeth, looking really wronged.
However, Lu Jian didn't even look at her.
He is not a philanthropist, let alone being taken advantage of. If Shi Xuexian hadn't begged hard at the beginning, saying that his daughter had no one to take care of him, he would not have allowed someone with a foreign surname to live in the Lu family mansion.
Now that you are here, you have to follow the rules. The daughter of the Lu family is Lu Yan. If she wants the stars and moons in the sky, Lu Jian will pick them off for her, let alone a mere room.
Shi Xuexian also realized this when she thought about it, and came over and patted Shi Ya on the back: "Why are you crying? You're useless. Uncle Lu asked you to collect things and you just go. There are so many guest rooms in the Lu family, so you can choose whatever you like." One I like."
"But I like the one I have now."
"That's not your room!"
"Why not!"
Shi Xuexian was afraid that she would say any more willful words, so she aroused Lu Jian's dislike for no reason, pushed her back to the room, helped her pack her things, and comforted her with soft words by the way, the future will be long.
An hour later, Lu Yan came to the room that belonged to my sister-in-law, and she couldn't help but sigh again. My sister-in-law is indeed the most favored daughter in this family. Her room is almost three times the size of Lu Yan's room in the past. The dreamy pink wallpaper, There are cloakrooms, shoe rooms, doll rooms, and even tent houses in the corners of the walls.
But Lu Yan also understood that Lu Jian was able to let Shi Ya live in such a room, which showed Shi Xuexian's ability in this family.
If she wants to help her father and grandfather change the situation where father and son are against each other in the future, Shi Xuexian must be her opponent that cannot be underestimated.
**
Later, when eating several times, Shi Xuexian reminded Lu Jian intentionally or unintentionally, asking him to take Lu Yan for a paternity test, but this proposal was ruthlessly rejected by Lu Jian every time.
There is no need for a paternity test, he has already determined that Lu Yan is his lost little daughter.
Taking a step back, even if it wasn't, Lu Jian didn't want to admit it. Lu Yan is the daughter he lost and recovered with great difficulty, and he does not allow any accidents to happen.
In those few days, Lu Jian was helping Lu Yan contact the school, and Lu Yan was free and wandering on the street.
The scenery and customs in the early 2000s are quite different from her era. Most residents still live in tube buildings, and winding alleys can be seen everywhere. However, high-rise buildings are also being built on the main streets, and excavators and tractors can be seen everywhere. , The rumbling noise was accompanied by flying dust.
Lu Yan bought a bag of rice bubble tubes on the street, and was going to take them home for grandpa to eat.
She saw the peddler scoop millet into a dark machine full of engine oil. After dozens of seconds, the machine spit out white rice bubble tubes. The rice bubble tube exudes sweet and rice fragrance, but A new thing that Lu Yan had never seen before.
She chewed on the crunchy rice bubble tube and entered a game hall.
The game hall is not like the video game mall she has played in. All the arcade machines here have to be played standing up. The big equipment looks very low and old. There are about ten such machines in a game hall. Many social youths Gathered in front of the game console with the students and smashed coins to play games.
Contra Generation, Street Fighter, Rising Dragon Street Fighter...
In the past, Lu Yan used to play games on an ipad and was able to reach the diamond level, but playing these ancient and backward game consoles, she seemed unable to do what she wanted.
These machines are similar to gambling. If you win, you can spit out money, and if you lose, you can swallow money. Lu Yan lost all her money in a blink of an eye.
Just when Lu Yan turned around dejectedly, the owner of the shop—a tattooed man with malicious intentions called out to her.
"Don't go, little girl, play two more rounds."
"I have no money." Lu Yan touched her empty pocket: "Your game console is too difficult to play."
At this time, the tattooed man blocked her way: "Hey, I want to leave after losing money."
He pointed to the game console, and the interface displayed a negative number.
"75 yuan, you can only leave when you pay it back!"
Lu Yan had never tried such a deep routine, she couldn't believe it: "So many!"
"She only carried more than ten yuan in total today, and she just lost all of it. Why did she suddenly become 75 yuan in debt!"
What the hell game console is this
The tattooed man smiled slyly: "If you don't pay back the money, you don't want to leave."
Just when Lu Yan was in a dilemma, she suddenly saw Shen Kuo.
He was wearing a thin white work t-shirt with knee shorts, passing by the entrance of the game hall.
It is actually very dangerous for men to wear white work t-shirts. Even a man who looks normal on weekdays can easily be turned into a wretched man with ribs by work t-shirts.
This kind of situation does not exist in Shen Kuo at all. The full muscle lines of his shoulders and neck support this dress, and his arms look extremely powerful. He is an absolute boyfriend's max figure.
He squatted on one knee, picking pears in the hawker's basket, with his head down, bangs lightly brushing those dark and deep eyes, very serious.
After buying pears, Shen Kuo got up and left.
Lu Yan hurriedly rushed out of the gate and stopped him halfway, but she was too hasty to get there first, half of her body crashed into Shen Kuo's arms.
Shen Kuo didn't even react, her head hit his tough chest firmly.
There was a sweet fragrance in her nostrils, which came from the box of rice foam in her arms.
However, the rice bubble tube had been broken into powder, sticking to her chest, and also sticking to him covered in white powder.
"oops!"
Lu Yan exclaimed, walked over quickly, and patted the debris on his chest: "Sorry!"
Shen Kuo stepped back instinctively, avoiding her hand, straightened his shirt, and shook off the debris.
Although his clothes are old, they are all clean.
Lu Yan knelt down and picked up the box of rice bubble tubes, her clear eyes were filled with apology: "I'm really sorry, I lost all my money just now, and now my mind is still muddled."
She was very embarrassed.
Shen Kuo raised his eyes to look at her. Under the sun, her skin looked white and translucent. Her pair of glowing peach blossom eyes resembled Lu Zhen's, clear and clear, and her jet-black hair hung down on her thin shoulders.
Shen Kuo's indifferent eyes fell on her body, swept away lightly, and then moved away.
This reckless little girl is exactly the same as Lu Zhen.
He looked up at the smoky game hall, and asked softly, "Playing games here?"
"Yeah, I always lose and get tricked by others. He won't let me go."
Just as he was talking, the tattooed man had already chased him out, pointed at Lu Yan and said viciously, "If you want to run away, pay back the money you owe!"
Shen Kuo instinctively pulled the girl behind him and faced him: "How much do I owe you?"
The tattooed man crossed his arms and said in a drawn out tone, "Not much, not much, just 75."
Shen Kuo could see that the little girl had just arrived, which made people feel tricked.
"Is there any money left?" He turned back and asked Lu Yan.
"Gone."
Not only have no money, but also owe a lot.
Shen Kuo touched his pocket. There were still a few coins left in it, which was enough for the last round. He lifted his legs and walked towards the game hall.
Lu Yan didn't dare to set foot in this deceitful game hall again.
"Shen...Shen Kuo, don't go, they are too foolish."
At the door, Shen Kuo put his hand in his pocket, turned around and murmured—
"Don't be afraid, I'll bring you back."
