However, his daughter’s words gave him a glimmer of hope.
The father and daughter talked late into the night in the study. It was not until Mother Lin came over to knock on the door worried that the two of them had no choice but to end the conversation.
Mother Lin waited outside the door nervously. She thought that she would see the father and daughter turn against each other. Just as she was thinking about how to persuade Father Lin to calm down, she met the father and daughter’s smiling eyes the moment she opened the door.
Mother Lin was stunned for a moment. In her surprise, the huge rock in her heart finally relaxed. She leaned over with a smile and said, “It’s almost time to eat. What fun things are you two talking about? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Mom.” Lin Yue held her mother’s arm coquettishly and smiled. “Dad said that he would bring the two of us on a trip in two days!”
Mother Lin looked at her husband in surprise. “Aren’t Uncle and the others coming over in two days? Why are we still…”
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Yue pulled her mother away and whispered to her about her granduncle’s trip to the Shi family.
Mother Lin had just found out about this and widened her eyes in shock. “How could this be? Your granduncle even said that he specially brought you a gift this time! Why did it suddenly become that he’s going to the Shi family?”
Mr. Lin’s expression darkened as he heard this. However, when he thought of his daughter’s words just now, his gloomy expression softened.
The nobles from the capital were coming to G City. Other than Shi He, who was lying in the hospital recuperating, the rest were waiting outside the airport to pick him up.
Anyone with a discerning eye knew that the Shi family had snatched this great opportunity from the Lin family, but no one dared to criticize the Shi family in person. At most, they were secretly guessing that the relationship between the two families was tense.
Shi Man and Shen Xian sat in the third car together. She raised her hand and looked at the watch on her wrist. “They should be here soon. Mom, aren’t you worried about Brother? Why do you have to come along?”
Shen Xian shook her head helplessly and said, “You’ve never done such a thing, so you don’t know the inside story. The leader who came today is called Lu Jun. He’s the biological uncle of Lin Yue’s mother. Our family snatched the business that the Lin family had internally decided on. If we don’t put on a good appearance, won’t we be rushing to give someone something to use against us?”
Shi Man was silent for a moment. She slowly lowered the window and let the breeze from the window blow into the car, sweeping away the suffocating heat.
The plane was originally scheduled to arrive at ten in the morning, but they waited outside the airport for a full hour and did not see the leader of the capital at all.
Shi Zhong was very patient. He waited outside the airport with his family until noon before the leaders arrived.
The Shang Dynasty did not make enemies with the officials. Shi Zhong knew this very well.
Therefore, even if the other party deliberately made him unhappy and made him wait for two hours in the hottest weather, he had no intention of being angry.
Seeing the figures of the leaders from afar, he hurriedly surrounded them with his family. He smiled and shook hands with the man in the lead as he introduced, “This must be Chief Lu. During the time that Chief Lu come to G City, our Shi family will take care of you personally. If you have any requests, feel free to ask.”
Shi Zhong’s attitude was humble, and he did not have the airs of a rich man.
Lu Jun felt a little better. He hummed coldly and got into Shi Zhong’s car under the protection of the Shi family.
Along the way, Shi Zhong tried his best to get Lu Jun to talk to him. Lu Jun originally wanted to ignore him. After all, if not for the Shi family’s sudden interference, he would have been able to see his niece’s family as he wished.
However, Shi Zhong was too enthusiastic, so it was not good for him to keep putting on a face for others. Occasionally, Shi Zhong would say something, so he could only echo him.
From the looks of it, the journey back to the city seemed to be a little harmonious.
However, Lu Jun knew very well that the Shi family was probably deliberately making things difficult for the Lin family, causing his niece and grandniece to hide in another province while he was in G City, leaving him here with the sly old fox of the Shi family.
The Shi family’s manor had prepared for this welcome party for a few days. They had cleaned the rooms inside and out for the leaders to live in.
Along with Lu Jun were two of his students. One of them was called Chu Yue, and she was the demonic female instructor who made everyone’s expressions change when they talked about her.
The other was a short-haired man with a black pistol at his waist. He was one of the commanders of the Capital Force.
The few of them came to G City this time to find a family who could cooperate to make the latest batch of armaments.
Shi Zhong invited them into the living room and asked Butler Qi to quickly hand over hot tea. He smiled and said, “Chief Lu, did you trip over something on the way here?”
He was referring to the fact that the three of them got off the plane two hours late today.
Lu Jun sat on the sofa expressionlessly with a straight face and a golden dragon walking stick in his hand. He did not intend to answer Shi Zhong.
He ignored Shi Zhong so that he could admire his awkward expression..
