During the Chinese New Year, Lu Yan and Lu Zhen returned to Beicheng during the winter vacation.

That afternoon, Lu Yan went shopping with Jian Yao to buy New Year clothes. The pedestrian street was crowded and quite lively.

In just a few years, people's consumption levels have skyrocketed, and the real economy is now quite prosperous. However, within a few years, people's shopping tendencies will shift to the Internet. Lu Yan has been encouraging Lu Zhen to develop into the field of Internet e-commerce. This

No one is optimistic about it now, but Lu Yan knows that Stars and Sea actually has a lot of potential.

Lu Yan went to buy a bottle of lemonade and handed it to Jian Yao. Jian Yao touched her little head: "Thank you, dear daughter."

Lu Yan smiled sweetly: "You're welcome, Mom."

"You really called me mom!"

"yes!"

Jian Yao called Lu Yan daughter, which was a joke, but she didn't expect that this little girl Lu Yan actually liked this kind of role-playing.

"Okay." Jian Yao unscrewed the cap of the lemonade bottle and handed the first sip to Lu Yan.

At this moment, a man walked towards her. Lu Yan looked familiar.

The man wore a stylish gray coat, and his hair was permed with the most popular afro at the time. His bangs were very long, completely blocking his eyes, giving him a lazy and decadent look.

This guy... looks so familiar.

Lu Yan quickly poked Jian Yao with her elbow to let Jian Yao pay attention.

Jian Yao looked up at him and said, "Isn't this Wu Tianhan?"

"Who?"

"Wu Tianhan, from our high school, by the way, isn't your sister Shi Ya in a relationship with him?"

Lu Yan then remembered that this man was Shi Ya's boyfriend. Shi Ya followed her boyfriend Wu Tianhan and went to a private independent college in the province. The relationship between the two seemed to be very stable.

but......

Lu Yan raised her eyes and saw that the girl standing next to Wu Tianhan was not Shi Ya.

"Did they break up?" Jian Yao asked gossiping.

Lu Yan shook her head blankly: "I don't know."

The two girls stared at Wu Tianhan intently, watching as he carried the girl beside him into a hotel opposite.

Jian Yao said "yo~", took out Lu Yan's mobile phone, and took a photo with a "click".

Lu Yan smiled and said, "Don't be such a gossip! You're still taking pictures."

"Just take a photo, it's a rare encounter." Jian Yao took back her phone: "Let's go and continue shopping!"

Soon, Lu Yan put this incident behind her.

In the evening, during dinner, Shi Ya also came. Shi Xuexian begged Lu Jian for a long time and finally agreed to let Shi Ya come to Lu Zhai to celebrate the New Year.

Lu Jian asked his two children one by one about their studies and daily life, and seemed very interested.

Lu Yan answered Lu Jian thoroughly, but Lu Zhen was more perfunctory. After all, boys are no more considerate than girls.

Shi Xuexian saw that Lu Jian didn't ask Shi Ya, so she reached out and patted Shi Ya on the back, and said with a smile: "Our Ya Ya performed very well in school. She participated in the school singing competition and won the first prize."

But after saying this, no one at the table responded to her, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

Lu Jian wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "College is a process of training yourself. I hope you will not relax in your studies after entering, you know?"

Shi Ya immediately said: "Now that I know Uncle Lu, I will work hard! I will not disappoint your expectations."

Lu Jian forked a piece of beef and put it into Lu Yan's bowl. There was another long silence, and the atmosphere was so awkward that it almost exploded.

Shi Xuexian could see that Lu Jian had no expectations for Shi Ya. He was telling his children this.

She felt a little uncomfortable, but she still had a smile on her face and said, "Yaya has become a lot more sensible this year. Keep up the good work!"

"I will, Mom!"

Shi Ya looked at Lu Yan, with a hint of evil in her eyes, and said nonchalantly: "Lu Yan, when will you bring your boyfriend home and let Uncle Lu take a look?"

Lu Yan's hand holding the spoon suddenly tightened, and her eyes turned cold when she looked at Shi Ya. Shi Ya greeted her openly, with a proud look on her face.

Lu Jian put down her knife and fork and asked curiously: "Xiaoyan, have you got a boyfriend?"

"Uh, um."

"What's your name? Where are you from? What's your character and family background? Is he your classmate?"

Lu Jian attaches great importance to Lu Yan's love issues and throws out questions like a barrage of questions.

Lu Yan felt...a little stressed.

Lu Yan answered selectively: "His...his name is Shen Kuo, and he has a very good character."

Lu Jian seemed to be about to start checking his household registration: "Are you from this province? What do your parents do?"

"parents..."

Before Lu Yan could answer, Shi Ya immediately interjected: "Uncle Lu, you don't know yet. They were together when they were in high school. The boy has no mother. There is only one father in the family who died of illness last year. The family is very poor.

..”

The fork in Lu Zhen's hand was thrown heavily on the plate, making a crisp "bang" sound, which startled Shi Ya.

Shi Xuexian immediately said: "Lu Zhen, what are you doing throwing the fork!"

Lu Zhen licked his lips and said to Shi Ya in a lazy tone: "It's none of your business to be poor."

"What you say is so unpleasant."

"This is my home. This is what I say. If you don't want to hear it, get out."

"That's enough, I didn't ask you two, so shut up." Lu Jian stopped them both and turned to look at Lu Yan: "His parents are... gone?"

Lu Yan nodded and replied calmly: "His father passed away a year ago."

"It sounds like the family situation is not very good." A trace of worry appeared on Lu Jian's face: "In terms of personality..."

Before Lu Yan could speak, Shi Xuexian said leisurely: "Boys from this kind of family usually have character flaws."

Lu Yan's hand clenched the spoon tightly. Under the table, Lu Zhen patted her knee gently and said, "Shen Kuo is my buddy. He is very good. There is nothing wrong with him."

"Even if there is no problem with personality, the family background does not match. Although it is the 21st century and we are not necessarily the right family, it cannot be too different. Xiaoyan's family background is so much better than his, so maybe...

He just clings to a high branch."

Shi Xuexian covered her mouth and smiled: "Don't blame me for thinking too bad about people, but it's not impossible, right?"

Lu Jian's face gradually darkened. Apparently, he had listened to Shi Xuexian's words.

Lu Yan is his most precious and beloved daughter, and he will never allow anyone to deceive her feelings.

Lu Jian said: "Yanyan, you should still focus on your studies in college, and let's consider your boyfriend later."

"Dad, what you said..." Lu Zhen couldn't stand listening anymore: "You don't let people fall in love during such a wonderful youth period in college, but you will force them to get married after graduation. Isn't it weird?"

Lu Jian's tone became more relaxed and she said: "It's not that I don't let Xiaoyan fall in love. Her uncles and brothers are all young talents. I think Ye Jiaqi is good."

He has always admired Ye Jiaqi and wanted to make him his son-in-law.

"It depends on Xiaoyan's own preference."

"We can discuss this later." Lu Jian didn't want to argue with Lu Zhen.

Lu Yan looked at Shi Ya coldly, and Shi Ya was also looking at her, with a winner's smile on her face.

"Speaking of boyfriends, Shi Ya, you are still in a relationship with Wu Tianhan."

"yes."

When Lu Yan mentioned Wu Tianhan, Shi Xuexian's face became even more proud, and she said to Lu Jian: "Yaya's boyfriend is really good. The eldest son of the Wu family has a good family background. If we get married in the future, maybe it will be right."

It will be helpful to you in business."

Lu Jian said nothing. He had never thought of relying on his children's marriage to consolidate the company's interests. What's more, Shi Ya had nothing to do with him.

Lu Yan said calmly: "Wu Tianhan and Shi Ya have always had a good relationship. I saw them shopping together yesterday."

Shi Ya was stunned: "Yesterday?"

"Yes." Lu Yan said casually: "Pedestrian Street, Wu Tianhan bought you a lot of clothes, what's the name of the hotel at the end of the street... Oh, Youyuan Hotel, you went in together, didn't you?

"

Hearing this, Shi Ya's face changed drastically. She stood up and pointed at Lu Yan and said, "You are making false accusations! You didn't! I didn't! You're slanderous!"

"Eh? Isn't this you?"

Lu Yan took out her phone, opened the photo album, and handed it to Shi Ya.

Thanks to my mother for giving her a cell phone with camera function when she graduated from high school.

Shi Ya saw the two people in the photo. The man's back was Wu Tianhan, and the girl he was holding... was not her!

The two of them were very close to each other and their posture was intimate. Wu Tianhan was carrying large and small bags in his hands. It was obvious that they were all things he bought for the girl around him.

This photo was taken by Jian Yao. The most amazing thing is that she actually took the photo of Youyuan Hotel and used it as a background board.
