In the following days, Lu Han found himself quite bored.
Apart from accompanying Uncle Sen to select antiques and calligraphy, he spent most of his time at the manor.
Since signing the prenuptial agreement, Su Qingli hadn't shown up, only sending two WeChat messages saying that she had too much work to handle and couldn't meet for now.
He wasn't sure if she was genuinely busy or just making excuses.
Lu Xue had also been leaving early and returning late these days.
She didn't have to worry about finding a job, but she needed to write her graduation thesis...
In fact, when Lu Han went to buy the car, Lu Xue returned to the university because her advisor had assigned her a thesis topic.
She majored in economics and chose a topic on market competition and industrial structure. Recently, she had been spending most of her time in the library researching.
However, the day before picking up the car, just after hanging up with Jin Feng, Su Qingli called him.
"Lu Han, tomorrow is the weekend. My parents will be home. Come over for lunch."
Su Qingli's voice sounded tired and weary.
Work was really exhausting.
She thought Lu Han would at least show some concern, but instead, he responded lightly with just one word.
"Okay."
And that was it.
Ironically, neither hung up, and they could hear each other's breathing.
Finally, Su Qingli couldn't take it anymore and said angrily, "If we were together right now, would we have nothing to say and just stare at each other?"
"We might not have anything to say, but staring at each other is definitely out of the question," Lu Han laughed. "You can stare at me all you want, but I have other things to do."
"What else could you possibly do?" Su Qingli asked irritably.
"I could touch your leg!" Lu Han said matter-of-factly.
Su Qingli: "..."
This dog-man still enjoys touching?
"Tomorrow at 10 AM, come to my house. Don't be late!"
Su Qingli hung up immediately, clearly angry.
Lu Han didn't try to placate her and went to take a shower...
On the other side, Su Qingli waited for a while, but not only did the man not call back, he didn't even send a WeChat message.
Dog-man, stinky man, big ruffian! Su Qingli stomped her feet in anger, cursing everything she could think of.
Despite his antics, Lu Han showed up early the next day at Jin Feng's place.
After picking up the car with the temporary license plate provided by the dealership, he drove his brand new Maybach to Feicui Garden.
This was a famous wealthy area in Jiangcheng, with only 32 villas inside. The lower the number, the larger the plot and better the layout.
The Su family lived in villa number 6, covering 3,000 square meters including the yard and garage, but compared to the Lu family's manor, it was about the size of a golf course.
So, there was indeed a gap between the rich; the Su family was far behind the Lu family.
After parking the car, Lu Han called Su Qingli to let her know he had arrived.
The woman quickly came out to greet him.
Seeing Lu Han dressed formally in a well-polished suit, shiny shoes, and neatly combed hair, Su Qingli finally felt relieved.
She feared that Lu Han would dress casually like on the "blind date" day, showing disrespect to the Su family.
Her parents might not say anything, but they would certainly feel uncomfortable.
At least this dog-man has some conscience.
Seeing Lu Han's good behavior, Su Qingli decided not to be angry about yesterday.
"Young Master Lu is here."
As they entered, a woman in her fifties with an elegant demeanor greeted them, reaching out to help Lu Han with his belongings.
"This is my mom," Su Qingli whispered.
Actually, Lu Han could guess without her telling him, as he had already reviewed the Lu family's information many times.
Su Qingli's mother was named Xie Qingwan.
Lu Han knew she was from Suzhou and Hangzhou, and upon meeting her, he found her name fitting—she exuded a gentle and graceful aura.
"Auntie, just call me Lu Han—I'll carry it myself," Lu Han politely avoided Xie Qingwan's hand and turned to the man standing up in the living room, greeting him with a smile, "Hello, Uncle Su."
Su Qingli's father, Su Qiuchao, was a year younger than Lu Zhensheng.
He scrutinized Lu Han, seeing a resemblance to Lu Zhensheng in his youth, and gave a slight nod in response.
Lu Han placed the gifts aside, changed into slippers, and walked up to Su Qiuchao.
"Uncle Su, Dad often talks about you. He says you can influence the entire real estate industry in Jiangcheng with a single step. Today, it's an honor to meet you, and I'm a bit nervous."
Lu Han's flattery was somewhat insincere, but what made Su Qiuchao even more speechless was how Lu Han addressed Lu Zhensheng as "Dad."
He had heard that Lu Han still couldn't get over being lost as a child, but Lu Zhensheng had invested 3 billion yuan without blinking. Was he still upset?
Indeed... stubborn. Su Qiuchao didn't know about the prenuptial agreement Su Qingli had signed with Lu Han secretly, wondering if marrying this boy would be a blessing or a curse for his daughter.
"Haha, don't flatter me. That was in the past. You know our current situation... never mind."
He waved his hand, his tone bitter.
Sometimes, the rich could be cold-hearted, but which father would willingly sacrifice their daughter unless absolutely necessary?
Lu Han said seriously, "Uncle Su, you're just temporarily facing difficulties. With your capabilities, I believe you'll bounce back soon."
Su Qiuchao liked hearing this and laughed heartily, "Then I'll take your words as encouragement!"
Regardless, the marriage between the Lu and Su families was almost certain.
Su Qiuchao's only concern was whether Su Qingli would be treated well in the Lu family. Thinking about his daughter getting married made him feel uneasy.
A girl raised with so much love would belong to someone else soon?
Su Qiuchao felt mixed emotions but had to admit that his future son-in-law left a good first impression.
Tall and handsome, Lu Han spoke eloquently.
Whether discussing macroeconomic controls in the real estate industry, policy adjustments, or even the reasons behind bank loan tightening, Lu Han analyzed everything thoroughly and occasionally offered unique insights.
Truly, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Su Qiuchao was secretly amazed, and Su Qingli sitting beside him was also surprised.
In her memory, Lu Han was just an unscrupulous rascal who only cared about taking advantage of her.
Especially since this man seemed to enjoy squandering money.
Su Qingli roughly calculated that just the watch on Lu Han's wrist and the new car outside were worth over eight million yuan.
Typical nouveau riche behavior.
But today, Lu Han's performance and conversation were impressive.
This dog-man has grown up.
While Su Qingli was silently pondering, she heard her father suddenly say, "Lu Han, after you and Qingli get married, why don't you join our Su Group?"
"I'll give you a vice president position. How does that sound?"
Su Qingli: ???
Dad, I'm trying to avoid him, and you're putting him right next to me?
Is this not enough punishment for your daughter?
