Chapter 621 - Chapter 621 Chapter 621 Marriage Alliance with the Li Family

Chapter 621: Chapter 621: Marriage Alliance with the Li Family Chapter 621: Chapter 621: Marriage Alliance with the Li Family “Is everything really resolved?”

“There won’t be any fish that slipped through the net?”

Lu Rui, still not reassured, said, “I’ll go inquire about it later.”

“That’s a good idea,” Su Mian nodded, then put on a serious face and said to Qiao Yun, “Qiaoqiao, we know you are very capable, and the power behind you is stronger than the Lu Family, but as parents, we will still worry about you. So, I hope that no matter what happens to you, we are the first to know…”

Her words were filled with concern for Qiao Yun.

Qiao Yun placed her hands on her knees, sitting up straight and listening obediently to their lecture.

If the people under her command could see this scene, they might be scared to death.

The Professor Qiao, who only ever lectured others, was actually being lectured.

What a wonder of the world!

After Su Mian had finished lecturing Qiao Yun, she suddenly thought of something and smiled, “Considering that you kept such a big secret from the family, you’ll have to be punished.”

Qiao Yun nodded, “Okay.”

Su Mian said, “The punishment will be, this weekend you both will go camping together, and Qiaoqiao will make gourmet food yourself.”

Lu Rui also thought it was a good idea and immediately said, “Not bad, our family has never camped together. May is the perfect weather for an outing.”

Qiao Yun blinked, then let out an “ah,” her expression bewildered.

That’s it?

“Qiaoqiao, are you not willing?” Su Mian asked sternly.

Qiao Yun shook her head, “I am willing.”

Su Mian immediately started discussing with Lu Rui what to bring, and after talking for a while, she turned to Qiao Yun, “Almost forgot, Qiaoqiao, ask Mr. Li if he would like to come along.”

Lu Zhanxing immediately expressed his displeasure, “Mom, we’re going out to have fun as a family, why bring him along? He’s an outsider.”

Su Mian spoke as if it were only natural, “He’s done so much for Qiaoqiao, we naturally have to thank him. We can’t be ungrateful.”

She had wanted to properly thank Li Hanzhou for a while now but hadn’t found the opportunity.

After hearing Lu Zhanxing mention Li Hanzhou’s significant contributions to the situation, she felt even more that not expressing her gratitude would be wrong.

Lu Zhanxing was left without a response.

Thinking of Li Hanzhou, Qiao Yun’s expression wavered slightly. Since their last forehead kiss, Li Hanzhou hadn’t made any other presumptuous moves.

He behaved as properly as a feudal man.

Although Qiao Yun thought it was wrong to kiss her without being in a relationship, there was still something off in her heart.

That kiss was like a brand etched in her mind.

For the first time, Qiao Yun was troubled by her good memory, realizing it wasn’t always a blessing.

“Qiaoqiao, did you hear me?” Su Mian called out when Qiao Yun suddenly seemed lost in thought, “Remember to ask Mr. Li.”

Qiao Yun regained her focus and nodded lightly, “Okay.”

Lu Zhanxing’s objections were ineffective, and he continued to sulkily crack sunflower seeds.

…

Li Hanzhou, upon receiving Qiao Yun’s invitation, naturally wouldn’t refuse; after all, they were his future in-laws.

Though Qiao Yun hadn’t shown any signs of wanting to be in a relationship, he saw it as a matter of time.

Qiao Yun didn’t completely disregard him; she just seemed to be apprehensive about something.

Li Miao, hearing they were going camping, clung to Li Hanzhou, “I want to go too.”

“What do you want to go for?” Li Hanzhou didn’t even look at Li Miao while continuing his work.

“I don’t care, I want to go,” Li Miao said with a pout, “You’re such an adult and still competing with me for friends.”

Li Hanzhou gave her a sidelong glance, “Do you still want a sister-in-law or not?”

Li Miao, of course, did want one, but she felt that her brother was not up to the mark; after all this time, he still hadn’t won Qiaoqiao over.

Suddenly, recalling something she had overheard a few days ago, Li Miao chuckled at Li Hanzhou with a teasing “hehe.”

“Brother, give me more pocket money, and I’ll tell you something that relates to you,”

Li Hanzhou didn’t lift his head, “Get out.”

Li Miao huffed through his nose and didn’t bother Li Hanzhou any further.

Turning his attention, he called Qiao Yun, expressing his wish to join the outing, and after receiving a happy affirmative, he joyfully packed his luggage and left.

On this end, the Lu Family’s elders and Lu Shiran were definitely going to participate, leaving only Lu Xian, stuck with work, feeling miserable.

It was the weekend that day.

Qiao Yun, Lu Shiran, the Lu Family’s elders, and Lu Rui in one car.

Lu Zhanxing was still at work and would come over later.

Lu Jingzhi would head out directly from his company, first pick up Su Mian from the musical academy, then meet up with them.

For Qiao Yun, it was her first time going camping with the family, and she was a bit excited.

Lu Shiran already knew the explosion case in M Harbor was related to Qiao Yun, although he was not sure to what extent.

At that moment, he was pestering Qiao Yun with questions.

“Sis, so you didn’t go to Hai City, you went to M Harbor instead?”

Qiao Yun hummed in affirmation.

Lu Shiran asked worriedly, “Aren’t you scared?”

“Not scared.”

Lu Shiran thought to himself that he was scared though.

No, he had to try harder, to gain the ability to protect his sister.

Thinking this, a fervent expression immediately appeared on his face.

Qiao Yun: ??? Why did he suddenly become so pumped up?

The old master looked at his silly-looking grandson, shook his head in amusement, and then turned to ask Lu Rui.

“Right, there’s a family in M Country throwing a banquet soon, did you receive an invitation?”

Lu Rui nodded, “I did, but we don’t seem to have any dealings with them, do we?”

The old master spoke with a look of mystery, “The drinker’s intention is not in the wine.”

“Dad, what do you mean?”

The old master, feigning secrecy, said, “They’ve invited people from both large and small families this time, with the purpose of finding someone.”

“Who?” Lu Rui’s curiosity was indeed piqued.

Qiao Yun and Lu Shiran also stopped their conversation, turning their attention to the old master.

Without keeping them in suspense, the old master revealed, “It’s said to be the child of their Family Head, an illegitimate child from his younger days. Because the main wife did not agree to the child entering the family, they cut off contact here and eventually lost touch.”

Lu Rui sighed, “How heartless. Do they now regret it and want to find the child?”

“Who knows,” the old master didn’t elaborate, “I heard it through some close friends. They’re making quite a commotion this time; it looks like they want to find someone through the banquet.”

Lu Rui nodded, not commenting any further on the matter.

“In any case, stay alert. Their overseas influence isn’t small; better to avoid provoking them if you can, to keep trouble at bay,” the old master advised.

For a foreign family like theirs, local enterprises like the Lu Family had nothing to fear.

After all, it’s better to have less trouble than more.

“I understand,” Lu Rui certainly grasped this principle.

If they could live in harmony, there was no need to provoke others.

The old master then remembered something else, saying puzzledly, “I also heard something else; their trip this time isn’t just about finding someone.”

“What else could it be for?” Lu Rui thought to himself that these big families certainly had a lot going on.

The old master said incredulously, “From the information they’ve let slip, it seems their daughter is set to enter into a marriage alliance with the Li Family. This trip is also about the engagement.”
