Regrettably, it wasn’t her son who was engaged to Lu Miao.
Lu Miao had booked a flight for the afternoon, as she needed to rush back to Luo City. Mrs. Fu wasted no time in urging Fu Jingshen to accompany Lu Miao to the airport.
Meanwhile, Old Master Fu arranged a direct call to the airport to secure a special flight for Fu Jingshen to personally escort Lu Miao back to Luo City.
The elderly couple were both making supportive moves.
As they watched the two depart in the car, Mrs. Fu turned to Old Master Fu and questioned whether he intended to exploit Lu Miao’s exceptional abilities by having Fu Jingshen get close to her.
Who wouldn’t want to know such an accomplished metaphysical expert?
From national infrastructure planning to home feng shui, she was well-versed in every aspect.
Having Lu Miao in the family would symbolize prosperity and lasting success.
If this were ancient times, such a person would be honored as a national master.
Even in the present day, major families would fight tooth and nail to have her on their side.
Though Lu Miao was still young and low-key, she could continue her studies in peace as only a few people knew about her talents.
However, her old man was well aware of her capabilities, raising suspicions about his intentions.
“Cough, what are you saying? Do you think I’m that heartless?” Old Master Fu coughed twice, sounding a little guilty.
“Hmph, I know you too well. You are willing to sacrifice your wife and child for the greater good of the country. You left the three of us to live in a tiny, shabby place, less than fifty square meters, with no private bathroom. We had to use the public restroom outside for over a decade. There’s nothing you won’t do,” Mrs. Fu glared at him, her tone unforgiving.
In those years, he was responsible for dangerous tasks like eliminating crime and evil, making many enemies, and Fu Jingshen had even been kidnapped twice.
To accomplish those tasks, they had to live like mice, hiding in the shadows, unknown to anyone.
“It’s been so many years. Don’t be angry about it anymore. I admit that when I first knew about Lu Miao, I did have some ulterior motives. But after spending time with her, I genuinely like her now,” Old Master Fu explained helplessly.
Nowadays, he considered Lu Miao as a kindred spirit and had no other thoughts.
Mrs. Fu coldly snorted, “I’m telling you, I really like that girl. Even if she can’t be our daughter-in-law, I want to adopt her as our goddaughter. If you only plan to use her, I won’t spare you.”
“I understand, I understand,” Old Master Fu nodded.
Lu Yinan had arrived at the airport early and noticed Lu Miao accompanied by a group of people. He stood up and asked, “Who is this?”
“Fu Jingshen,” Lu Miao casually introduced him, then turned to Fu Jing Shen and said, “Lu Yinan.”
With both of them surnamed Lu, Fu Jingshen quickly guessed Lu Yinan’s identity. He smiled and shook hands with him.
“Let’s go, the vip passage is over there.”
Lu Miao nodded, and the group walked through the special passage and boarded the plane.
Though Lu Yinan wasn’t interested in current affairs, he knew that the Fu family’s surname represented a special and influential clan in the capital.
Observing the airport staff’s respectful attitude towards Fu Jingshen and the service onboard the private jet, it wasn’t difficult to figure out Fu Jingshen’s true identity.
Lu Yinan didn’t know how Lu Miao had established a connection with the Fu family, but being able to fly back with Fu Jingshen indicated a special relationship.
Two hours later, the plane landed.
Upon receiving news of Old Master Fu’s arrival, the airport in Luo City dispatched the head with the staff to welcome them by the passage.
The group emerged from the exclusive passage.
Lu Qin and Qin Shuang were at the airport to receive a business partner. Qin Shuang turned her head and was stunned to see Lu Miao walking gracefully in the center of the crowd, flanked on her left by Fu Jingshen, whom she had met at the hotel before and wouldn’t mistake. On her right was their second son, Lu Yinan.
With staff leading the way in front and security personnel following, it seemed that Lu Miao was the core of the crowd.
“It’s so late, and you’re lost in thought? What are you looking at?” Lu Qin impatiently asked.
Following her gaze, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
“Is that Lu Miao?”
“Yes, and that’s our second son standing next to her, ” Qin Shuang said, unsure and astonished. “But how did she end up with Fu Jingshen?”
Lu Qin looked in the direction they had come from and said, “That’s the exclusive passage for VIPs, and she took Fu Jing Shen’s private jet to come back.”
When Old Master Fu came to Luo City for a banquet, they had indeed seen Lu Miao with Fu Jingshen at the hotel.
However, back then, seeing her in a school uniform, they thought it was a chance encounter and didn’t know they were acquainted.
But now, it seemed that Lu Miao had a close relationship with Fu Jingshen.
After all, it was the Fu family’s private jet. If they were to speculate further, it might even belong to Old Master Fu.
Old Master Fu had a special status, and for safety reasons, only people absolutely trustworthy to the Fu family could use the private jet.
If the Lu family could connect with the Fu family, there was nothing they couldn’t do in the future.
Not just in Luo City, but they could become influential throughout the country.
Lu Qin’s thoughts swirled.
“Perhaps it was arranged by Mr Gu behind the scenes?” Qin Shuang doubted, still not entirely convinced.
“It’s not possible. Look at the way they are chatting. They seem familiar with each other. Fu Jingshen even bows his head to accommodate her. Their relationship is definitely not ordinary,” Lu Qin asserted.
“Call our second son immediately and ask him to come home.”
“Are you trying to get Lu Miao back to our family through our second son?” Qin Shuang furrowed her brow.
“Then, what about Siyu? You’ve made her do everything to secure Zhang Zong,” Lu Qin sneered. “Do you think Zhang Zong, who relies solely on love charm, can match the Fu family? If Zhang Zong’s love charm were exposed, have you considered the consequences?”
That’s also why he was eager to expand the Lu family during this time.
As for love charm, who knew how long it could last? If Zhang Zong sought revenge when it eventually wore off, they wouldn’t be able to bear it.
Besides, even if it didn’t wear off, Zhang Zong’s Galaxy Group was far from a match for the Fu family, a superpower.
Qin Shuang hesitated, her mind wavering, especially after witnessing Lu Miao’s close relationship with Fu Jingshen. She finally realized that their own daughter might be something extraordinary.
“But, when An Nan came back last time, we had just…”
“Our second son may talk tough, but he has a soft heart. Just talk to him nicely and coax him a bit. He won’t even refuse his parents,” Lu Qin instructed.
Reluctantly, Qin Shuang took out her phone, glancing at Lu Yi Nan boarding the car with Lu Miao from afar. She dialed a number..
