The next day, Lu Zhiheng had just finished a high-level meeting and came out of the conference room when his second assistant quickly went to greet him, "Mr. Lu, your sister is here and is waiting in the reception room."

Lu Yun went out a few days ago. Yesterday was his birthday, and she couldn't make it back. She specially sent him a message saying that she would make it up to him when she got back today.

Lu Zhiheng continued walking, "Please ask her to come to my office."

Lu Zhiheng had just returned to his office when Lu Yun was brought over by his second assistant.

Happy birthday, Zhiheng!

She smiled and handed the gift box to Lu Zhiheng, "A belated birthday wish. I sincerely hope that my brother will have a good partner by his side for his birthday next year."

Lu Zhiheng casually accepted the gift, but upon hearing this, he instantly lost the desire to open it. "Don't you know that wishes don't come true if you say them out loud?"

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"

Lu Yun glanced at Lu Zhiheng with a hint of reproach and helplessness, "How can you curse yourself like that? Do you know how worried your family is about your marriage? Yesterday, Mom even went to the temple to pray for a good match for you."

As she spoke, she took out two gold-embossed red-background marriage charms from her bag. "That temple is very effective for praying for marriage. Keep one in your office and take the other back to Yunjin Pavilion and place it in your bedroom. The master specifically instructed that your true love will definitely arrive within three months."

Lu Zhiheng didn't believe in these superstitious beliefs at all, and he didn't want to continue discussing this topic with Lu Yun. He opened a folder on his desk, looked down and flipped through it, saying, "Instead of wasting your time, worry more about your son."

"What's wrong with Shi Jing again?"

Lu Yun hasn't been in contact with Zhou Shijing much lately because she's intentionally giving him the cold shoulder because of his foolish behavior a few days ago.

Lu Zhiheng held the pen, neatly signing his name at the end of the document, closed it, and then opened the next one. "I heard they're busy looking for your next daughter-in-law."

"What do you mean by 'busy finding me my next daughter-in-law'? He has a girlfriend? Who is she? Is she one of the girls in our circle?"

Lu Zhiheng replied casually, "Maybe it's part of it."

"Among them?"

After a few seconds of processing, Lu Yun realized that Lu Zhiheng was implying that Zhou Shijing had dated more than one girlfriend.

While she was furious, she raised her voice several decibels, "What's wrong with this brat? He's getting more and more reckless!"

She paced back and forth in front of Lu Zhiheng's desk in anger. "He wasn't like this before. He's had plenty of girls chasing after him since he was a child, but he never gave them a second glance. His heart and eyes were only on Songsong."

"Do you think I should take him to the hospital for a follow-up check-up? Didn't the doctor say that the hematoma in his brain would disappear within a month at most? Why hasn't he thought of Songsong yet?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhiheng raised his eyes and glanced indifferently at Lu Yun, whose brows and eyes were filled with anxiety. He was about to say something when Lu Yun suddenly interrupted him.

As if suddenly remembering something important, she slammed her hands heavily on Lu Zhiheng's large desk, leaning forward to ask, "Who told you all this nonsense? Does Songsong know about it too?"

The words that were about to come out suddenly stopped, and Lu Zhiheng simply swallowed them back. His tone was flat and without any fluctuation, "I heard it from Shang Yang. It is said that Shi Jing is very high-profile, and almost everyone in the circle knows about him. As for Wen Song..."

He turned his gaze back to the documents in his hand, his fingertips lightly turning the pages. "I don't know if she knew about it."

"That unfilial son!"

Lu Yun felt a lump in her throat and pondered for a while. "Songsong is interning at your company, right? Have her come to your office now, and I'll personally sound her out."

Lu Zhiheng immediately refused, "She is just a new intern at the company, and I have no reasonable reason to summon her to the president's office."

Lu Yun felt that Lu Zhiheng was being too old-fashioned. "Songsong isn't an outsider. What reason do you need to let her come to your office? Isn't it just a matter of a word from you?"

Lu Zhiheng put down his pen, his gaze calm and composed. "She got the job at Lu's based on her own abilities. Do you want all her hard work to go to waste because of other people's gossip?"

Lu Yun was speechless after hearing Lu Zhiheng's words. She realized that she had spoken inappropriately. She never expected that Lu Zhiheng was considering Wen Song's situation from this perspective.

"Then let's wait until she gets off work, then I'll go to Yunjin Pavilion."

Speaking of Yunjin Pavilion, Lu Yun suddenly remembered, "Even siblings should keep clear accounts. What are you planning to do with that house next door? If you're willing to sell it to me, we can start processing the transfer right now."

Lu Zhiheng was silent for a moment, then took out a document from his desk drawer and gently pushed it in front of Lu Yun. "Take a look at this gift contract first."

A gift contract?

Lu Yun flipped through the paper with a puzzled look. The more she read, the more shocked she became. When she saw the bold, sharply written name "Lu Zhiheng" at the end, she looked up at the man behind the desk and asked incredulously, "You're going to give that apartment next door directly to Songsong?"

Lu Zhiheng nodded slowly, his tone calm, "I've already signed it. Once she finishes signing, we can proceed with the notarization and transfer process directly."

He spoke casually, as if he were giving away nothing more than a trivial gift. In reality, the value of that apartment in Yunjin Pavilion was approaching nine figures.

Although this number is insignificant to Lu Zhiheng, who owns a vast business empire, Lu Yun was still shocked. "Songsong is a child properly raised by the Zhou family. We will take care of the house, car and other assets for her ourselves. You don't need to spend any extra money."

From the moment Lu Zhiheng agreed to let Lu Yun allow Wen Song to move into Yunjin Pavilion, he had already made up his mind. Upon returning to China, he immediately ordered his lawyer to draft a contract.

His tone was calm and even, "There's no conflict. You can do your thing. She calls me 'little uncle' after all. Whether she and Shi Jing end up together or not, consider this house as my dowry for her in advance, giving her a sense of security and stability."

Lu Yun looked at Lu Zhiheng sitting at the table. In the eyes of outsiders, he had always been a high-ranking and decisive leader. Even in her and her parents' hearts, he had always been aloof and indifferent, not caring much about anything or anyone. But this time, she saw a thoughtful and considerate side of him.

Lu Yun couldn't help but sigh inwardly. If such a person were to truly care for someone one day, it would be absolutely unique and unconditional. She just wondered which girl would be so lucky to receive his favor in the future.

Since Lu Zhiheng had already said that, there was no need for Lu Yun to be polite anymore. She simply accepted on Wen Song's behalf, "Okay, then I'll thank you on Songsong's behalf."

A slight smile appeared on her lips. "On the day of Songsong and Shijing's wedding, I will definitely have her personally serve you a cup of tea."

Serving tea?

Lu Zhiheng's mind wavered slightly, and a scene involuntarily surfaced in his mind: a girl dressed in a bright red wedding gown, holding a teacup in her fair and delicate hands, timidly presenting it to him, softly calling out, "Uncle, please have some tea."

A strange sense of unease welled up in my heart.

He collected his thoughts and said calmly, "Let's talk about it when that day comes."
