In the first month of the first month, Shen Kuo finally paid a formal visit to Lu Zhai.

Although Lu Jian is now Lu Yan's grandfather, he is her nominal father no matter what, at least to the outside world.

Moreover, Lu Yan's real father, Lu Zhen, is only a young man now. Lu Jian and Meng Zhining should still worry about their children's marriage matters.

Meng Zhining is currently living in Lu Zhai temporarily, living with Lu Xiaoyan.

So when Shen Kuo came to visit, everyone in the family happened to be there, which was exactly what Lu Jian wanted. According to him, when his grandson-in-law came to visit for the first time, all the elders in the family must be there. One was to set a good example for the younger generation.

Secondly, it is also to prevent the other party from underestimating Lu Yan.

Meng Zhining expressed disdain for Lu Jian's idea.

"No matter how you try to whitewash it, a divorce is a divorce, and you will never remarry."

Lu Jian said dissatisfiedly: "It wasn't you who wanted the divorce at the beginning."

"Why can't I get a divorce?"

"Okay, okay, my grandson-in-law is here today. I won't quarrel with you."

Of course Lu Jian was quite satisfied with Shen Kuo as his grandson-in-law in every aspect.

Not only because he rescued Lu Xiaoyan, but more importantly, he was able to bring the second generation ancestor of Lu Zhen to the road, making him more and more successful, both in terms of character and mentality, in the direction that Lu Jian was satisfied with.

Development, this is what makes Lu Jian feel most comforted.

He intends to train Lu Zhen to be his successor. Even if he is given space and time now to make his own world, there is no doubt that Lu Zhen will definitely take over the Lu Group in the future.

Lu Jian's favorite thing in the past was other people's children, especially those outstanding children from other people's families. Every time he heard his business partners talk about his children's achievements, he would be upset.

But after he met Shen Kuo, he realized that the children in his business partners' families were nothing compared to the young man in front of him.

At most, they can study well, get scholarships, or learn from experience in family businesses and start business.

The talented grandson-in-law in front of Lu Jian has just graduated from college and is already a very important figure in the Internet industry at a young age. Even the elderly of Lu Jian's generation are learning to use the social software they have developed.

, this is a very powerful place.

During the meal, Lu Jian kept asking Shen Kuo about the Internet and was very interested in it.

The Internet is an emerging industry, and most of the people engaged in this industry are young people, full of fresh blood, and Shen Kuo is the one who really made the first pot of gold in this industry.

Lu Jian saw the shadow of his own youth in Shen Kuo and admired him so much that she wished she could recognize him as her godson on the spot.

"You just lead Lu Zhen to do it." Lu Jian patted Shen Kuo on the shoulder and said excitedly: "Young people should have dreams and passion and go for it. If you have any needs or lack of funds, just ask. We are a family.

People, as a family, should help each other.”

Meng Zhining said dissatisfiedly: "You two, can you stop talking about work? It's boring."

Lu Jian was still worried about Meng Zhining. She didn't like it, so he naturally stopped asking Shen Kuo to talk about work, and instead asked: "Xiao Kuo, I heard that your father died of illness? Lu Zhen didn't tell me specifically.

Tell me in detail, what kind of disease do you have?"

Lu Yan's hand holding the chopsticks tightened suddenly and she looked at Shen Kuo worriedly.

Shen Kuo had no expression on his face and replied calmly: "Pneumoconiosis."

"Oh, this has to do with the working environment. Well, in the early years, factory workshops were like this. Workers were exposed to a completely unprotected environment and could easily get this disease. Our factory also had it before, but our factory is pretty good.

, one of the first factories in China to introduce foreign dust-free workshop technology.”

Lu Yan immediately changed the subject: "Well, grandpa, Lu Zhen won't go home for the New Year this year, aren't you curious why?"

"I don't know yet." Lu Jian snorted coldly: "When you have a wife, you forget about your mother and spend time with your girlfriend."

"You know!"

"Of course I know. Everything you do in school cannot be hidden from my eyes."

Meng Zhining was thoughtful and noticed Lu Yan's nervous mood. She glanced at Shen Kuo and asked suspiciously: "Shen Kuo, where did your father work in the past?"

As soon as she said this, the spoon in Lu Yan's hand fell into the bowl with a clang.

Shen Kuo was silent for a moment and uttered five words: "Henghui Cement Factory."

When he said the name, the atmosphere on the table instantly froze.

Lu Xiaoyan looked at Meng Zhining without knowing why, and said innocently: "Hey, isn't this my dad's cement factory?"

Just like a tight balloon being popped by a needle in an instant, there is a long silence after the pop.

Shen Kuo said softly "Hmm".

Lu Jian and Meng Zhining's hearts were sinking deeper and deeper. Such a truth was absolutely beyond their expectation.

Even though they have been in the business world for so many years and are used to all the ups and downs, at this time... they don't know what to say.

This meal was definitely the longest meal they had ever had in their lives.

Feeling like sitting on pins and needles.

After the meal, Meng Zhining and Lu Jian returned to the study. In the living room, Lu Yan was pacing nervously.

Shen Kuo's eyes followed her figure: "Sooner or later they will know."

Lu Yan also knew that they would find out sooner or later, but she couldn't help but worry, fearing that her grandparents would not accept it.

Sure enough, within a few minutes, Lu Jian called Lu Yan into the study and asked her excitedly: "You have never told me, your mother...your grandma about this!"

"You didn't even ask." Lu Yan said guiltily, "Besides, Lu Zhen knows."

After all, Lu Zhen is her father, and Lu Zhen can make the final decision on these matters.

Meng Zhining walked up to Lu Yan and put his hand on her shoulder: "Xiaozhen is a child himself, as old as you. No matter what, your grandpa and I are your guardians. You should be the first to do these things."

Time will tell.”

Lu Yan knew this was true, and it was precisely because Lu Jian and Meng Zhining were adults that she did not dare to tell them.

"Don't you agree?"

"Of course I don't agree!" Lu Jian said excitedly: "I checked and found out that Shen Jianxun was a worker at Henghui. When he died of illness a few years ago, the company paid him a pension out of humanitarianism. As a result,

Guess what, the employee who came to comfort him was kicked out of the house and was almost beaten by his son. He was so frightened that he had to rest at home for many days. This boy... God knows what emotions he is hiding in his heart. How can I agree? How can I let him follow me?

You are together!"

Lu Yan said eagerly: "No, you misunderstood him!"

Meng Zhining held Lu Yan's shoulders and signaled her to calm down: "Xiao Yan, I support your grandfather in this matter."

"You...don't you believe him too?" Lu Yan looked at Meng Zhining in disbelief.

Meng Zhining shook his head and said helplessly: "Your grandfather and I both recognize Xiaokuo's strength and character, and we don't care about his poor family background. But this incident happened too suddenly. I have no choice yet. There is no way."

It is too terrible and dangerous to marry our daughter into the family of a man who once hated our family."

Meng Zhining now remembered something that he had not paid attention to in the past: "When I was in middle school and high school, every time there was a parent-teacher meeting, the teacher complained to me that Lu Zhen was not good here or there was not good there. At that time, Lu Zhen would always pronounce a name aggrievedly.

, that’s Shen Kuo.”

"I never took it to heart in the past, but now that I think about it, it's really scary."

All the strength in Lu Yan's body was exhausted, and her defensive voice was almost inaudible: "He and Lu Zhen have reconciled..."

Meng Zhining said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yan, you are still young. You and Shen Kuo are both young. You don't understand that love is really vulnerable compared to time. Love will wear away, but hatred will not."

"If one day you are resentful of each other and he thinks about these things in the past, God knows what he will do to you. Your grandfather and I can't protect you for the rest of your life, and neither can Lu Zhen, so we absolutely can't let you take this risk."

Lu Yan's ears were buzzing and she couldn't listen to Meng Zhining's words at all. She just felt ridiculous.

"You are so selfish."

"Just think of us as selfish." Meng Zhining said: "You are the youngest daughter in our family. We will never let you be in any danger. Even if there is a 0.1% chance, we will put an end to it. This is for your own good.

.”

Lu Yan clenched her hands into fists and said forcefully: "My father would never say such things. He would never say anything for my own good."

Lu Jian got a little angry: "He is still a little kid himself. He can do whatever he says. Don't always think that what Lu Zhen agrees to is the right thing. Always remember, your guardians are us!"

Although Lu Jian has become much more reasonable over the years, he still maintains the authority of his old parents.

"So you can never be the kind of parents your children want, because you don't know what your children want!"

After Lu Yan said this, she ran out with tears in her eyes and hurried downstairs.

When Shen Kuo saw her running down crying, he frowned and hugged her: "Why are you crying?"

"let's go!"

Lu Yan took Shen Kuo's hand and turned to leave. Meng Zhining stopped them from the room: "Xiao Kuo, Auntie wants to talk to you alone."

Lu Yan immediately stood in front of Shen Kuo and looked at Meng Zhining defensively: "No! I won't let you talk alone!"

She could guess with her toes what Meng Zhining wanted to talk to him. She had lost him once and she definitely didn't want to lose him a second time.

"You can't do this." Lu Yan's tears fell down and she clutched Shen Kuo's clothes tightly: "You have no right to do this."

Meng Zhining also felt very sad. No elder wanted to harm their children, especially her. Lu Yan was the little daughter she loved dearly.

"Xiao Kuo, come to the study and let's chat."
