"After speaking, Mr. Li turned to Lu Shaowen as well: 'Mr. Lu, my friend hasn't arrived yet, and I'd like to stay at the Lu Family home for a few days, if that's possible; I've heard of the great reputation of the Lu Family all the way in Hong Kong, as always ready to help, and never turning away guests who come to their door.'"
"'Of course,' Lu Shaowen replied, 'guests are to be welcomed, and the Lu Family still upholds the way of hospitality. Whoever it is, as long as they are willing to give me, Lu Shaowen, some face, they are friends; not to mention, Mr. Li, you've come from afar to celebrate my birthday, there's no reason to send you away.' Lu Shaowen agreed to Mr. Li's request."
Hearing this, Li Jue was quite irritated. This old fellow Lu Shaowen was actually going to shelter this man surnamed Li, which irked Li Jue greatly, though he dared not be presumptuous verbally and said very politely: "Mr. Lu, do you really intend to let Mr. Li stay at the Lu Family for a few days?"
