Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Can They Still Escape?

Lu Youbang thought to himself that these folks really had one-track minds, completely inflexible.

Lu Youbang continued in a coaxing manner, "There’s no need to make a scene at her school. Lu Youxi has money, and she will definitely give it to her uncle and aunt. They can’t be left to live poorly in the village, right?"

"Are you saying, we should ask Zhenguo and his wife for it?" Old Master Lu had just sipped a little white wine, and now he set down his glass and stretched his neck across the table toward Lu Youbang.

Lu Youbang nodded, "Isn’t Lu Youxi filial? Being so filial, wouldn’t she give money to her parents? She constantly expresses sympathy for Lu Youxue, wouldn’t she give money to make his life better?"

"When the time comes, you just directly ask my uncle," Lu Youbang said, "My uncle is filial, and if he has money, would he not give it to his own parents? That would risk him being criticized! They’re not living with you now, not taking care of you; could they possibly also stop giving money? Just pretend they don’t have parents at all?"

"That’s out of the question!" Old Master Lu slammed the table, "Absolutely not!"

"My uncle and his family couldn’t possibly stay in the Imperial Capital permanently," Lu Youbang said. "They’re just here to have fun during the National Day holiday, and they’ll have to return after playing. You just go back to the village and wait for them. Could they possibly not return home? Just stay here forever?"

Lu Youbang thought for a moment, then asked, "Did they bring a lot of luggage this time?"

Ge Guifen thought about it, and said, "Quite a lot, but I guess that luggage wouldn’t be enough to move here permanently. On the way, I specifically tested your uncle asking why he brought so many things. Your aunt said, a lot is for Lu Youxi."

"When Lu Youxi initially came here by herself, she couldn’t bring much, so now that they’re here, they brought some things for Lu Youxi as well. It seems believable," Ge Guifen said, then scoffed and curled her lip disdainfully, "Their family is just like that, looking all poor. Bringing all their old junk to Lu Youxi, thinking they’re saving money, not embarrassed even if people laugh."

"As long as they haven’t brought all their possessions, it means they still have to return to the village," Lu Youbang analyzed for them. "You just head back to the village earlier and wait for them; where could they run?"

"Yes!" Old Madam Lu came to a realization, "People get old, reactions just aren’t as quick as you young folks."

Lu Youbang took the chance to send them off earlier, "Grandpa, Grandma, why don’t you stay for two days and head back on the 2nd?"

"Why so hurried?" Old Madam Lu was not pleased, "We just arrived, and haven’t even had a chance to explore the Imperial Capital."

"The next two days are enough for you to explore," Lu Youbang persuaded. "During the National Day holiday, there’s always a massive crowd at the beginning and end of the vacation, making it hard to buy tickets. Plus, what if my uncle and his family go back early too? What if this time, after returning, they pack up and move to the Imperial Capital directly?"

"Don’t forget, Lu Youxi now has money," Lu Youbang said. "Didn’t she say once she earned money she would bring her family over? This time, my uncle and aunt brought so much luggage, who knows if they didn’t move half their stuff here?"

"What if once you guys return, my uncle and his family just move here directly, and you return to find nothing, still not knowing where they are in the Imperial Capital? How would you ask my uncle for money then?" Lu Youbang analyzed for them, "Even if you could come back to the Imperial Capital again, go to Jing University to find Lu Youxi. But Lu Youxi isn’t like my uncle, not as easy to talk to, nor as filial. Even if you could cause a scene, could you really get money out of Lu Youxi?"

Lu Youbang’s words hit home, rendering the Lu Family’s elders speechless.

That damn girl Lu Youxi, she’s impervious to oil and salt.

Moreover, there’s not a single trace of familial affection in her eyes.

The key thing is that Lu Youxi really isn’t afraid of their disturbances.

Looking at it that way, it seems they really had no way of dealing with Lu Youxi.

"So, it might be better to head back earlier and wait for my uncle and his family," Lu Youbang persuaded. "That would be more reassuring."

Lu Youzhen disagreed, "How about letting Grandma, Grandpa, and Mom go back first? It doesn’t matter much if I go back anyway. I just came to the Imperial Capital, and I want to enjoy it a bit longer."

Lu Youbang was frustrated with Lu Youzhen’s stupidity.

With her pig brain, she still thinks about coming to study in the Imperial Capital?

What a pipe dream!

Nearly losing his temper, Lu Youbang tried to persuade Lu Youzhen, "Once there’s money, you can play in the Imperial Capital however you want, why rush it now?"

"Besides, I’m still studying, I can’t look after you on regular days. The Imperial Capital is so big, I’m really not reassured with you, a young girl, here by yourself," Lu Youbang posed as a caring big brother while persuading.

Ge Guifen also didn’t have confidence in Lu Youzhen’s temperament.

Normally, even if she’s unreliable in Hexing Village, it doesn’t matter since Hexing Village is so small, Lu Youzhen couldn’t get into trouble.

But the Imperial Capital is different, she truly feared that Lu Youzhen could again be deceived or even sold.

"Yes, better go back with us first. Once there’s money, we can come again," Ge Guifen also persuaded. "Besides, don’t you still need to test into Jing University? You’ll have to come here sooner or later."

Unexpectedly, Lu Youzhen was quite confident in her chances of getting into Jing University.

Hearing what Ge Guifen said, she didn’t doubt herself at all and replied with an "indeed," then stopped objecting.

Lu Youbang secretly curled his lips, but having successfully persuaded them to go back, he was relieved.

After a tiring day dealing with these people who were too weary to even think about touring around, they decided to stroll around tomorrow and returned to rest for now.

In the afternoon, after Zhou Shuyan finished his meeting, he began to work intensely, his productivity surprisingly high.

It wasn’t that his normal productivity was low, but today’s efficiency was exceptionally high, to the extent that even his capable assistant, Yu Zeqin, felt pressured.

But he successfully completed all his tasks by 6 PM.

Zhou Shuyan specifically instructed Yu Zeqin to cancel all the arrangements after 6 PM, not allowing any exceptions.

At precisely 6 PM, Zhou Shuyan left the company and by 6:50 PM, arrived at the small restaurant where Lu Youxi and her family had gone.

Despite its size, the restaurant still had two private rooms.

The rooms weren’t large but were just perfect for the number of people with Lu Youxi.

As soon as Zhou Shuyan entered, he saw that Lu Youxi’s family was already there.

"Dad, Mom," Zhou Shuyan called out very naturally, "I’m really sorry for coming so late, making you wait."

"You are at work, it’s understandable," Liu Yushu greeted Zhou Shuyan with an exceptionally warm smile.

Lu Youxi suspected Zhou Shuyan must have secretly practiced; otherwise, how could he sound so natural and skilled?

Zhou Shuyan naturally sat next to Lu Youxi, "By the way, Mom, did you bring the household register? Tomorrow, I’ll let..."
