The next morning, the sun shone brightly, and people are in high spirits when they have good news.

Lu's mother got up early to dress up. Before, she went out with Su's mother as friends and someone who wanted to develop a relationship with her through marriage. Today, she was going to meet her as her future in-laws. In terms of status, the two were several levels higher, so she paid special attention to it.

Mr. Lu sat on the edge of the bed watching Mrs. Lu change outfit after outfit, and cautiously suggested, "Wasn't that one quite nice? Why don't we wear that one?"

Lu's mother didn't trust his taste, so she simply grabbed another piece of clothing and put it on. "I'll wear this one. Are you blind? Can't you see that the other one was too small? Can't you see I've gained weight?"

As wise as he was, Lu's father chose to keep quiet. After all, whatever he said would be wrong, so he didn't want to waste his breath.

If you like it, that's fine; it's not like I'm wearing it.

Forty minutes later, when Lu's mother was dressed and very satisfied, Lu's father sat calmly and quietly to the side reading the newspaper and waiting.

Judging from Lu's father's expression, this wasn't the first time he had waited.

Seeing that Mrs. Lu was ready, Mr. Lu tactfully drove the black Porsche to the door. Mrs. Lu came out and sat in the passenger seat, saying while fastening her seatbelt, "Let's go shopping first."

The car drove smoothly along the road, heading towards the mall. Mr. Lu asked in a low voice, "Is Miss Su off or working today? Will we make her uncomfortable by going there so abruptly? Your son hasn't won her over yet, nor has he gotten her forgiveness. We don't want to scare her."

Lu's mother had already found out Su Xue's work schedule, which days she was off, which days she was in the outpatient department, and which days she was in the inpatient department. She knew it all and said with certainty, "Xiao Xue is working today. It's already 8:30. She went to work this morning. We'll go apologize to our in-laws first, and then have our son make his presence known to Mrs. Su." This daughter-in-law is definitely not someone her son can afford to ruin!

We need to take a two-pronged approach.

Mr. Lu couldn't help but praise his wife's talent in this area, as she had racked her brains for her son's marriage. "It depends on whether your son is perceptive or not. Don't let him come home tonight, and don't let him stay at Lan Tingyuan either. Let him stay at a hotel next to the Imperial Hospital."

Upon hearing this, Lu's mother gave Lu's father a thumbs up. The couple's combined cunning was unmatched.

Lu's mother took out her phone and sent a video to her son, with the message: "Take a good look at how your beautiful daughter came to be. No need to thank me. You've already done right by the Lu family ancestors by being able to catch up with Xiaoxue."

Lu's mother went to the mall and bought a lot of things: supplements, gifts, gold bracelets, anklets, and all the nice clothes and toys.

Mr. Lu had already asked around about the Su family's location, and was now following the navigation.

The car came to a smooth stop in front of the Su family's house. Mr. Lu unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car. He opened the trunk and took out the gifts his wife had bought. He placed them on the ground one by one. Mrs. Lu only realized that there were quite a lot of things when she got out of the car. She didn't seem to have paid attention when she bought them. Now she felt a little embarrassed. She didn't show it to Mr. Lu.

Ding-dong, ding-dong, the doorbell rang.

The woman who came out was the Su family's nanny. Looking at the couple carrying large bags, she asked with some confusion, "Who are you looking for?"

With her hands full of things, Mrs. Lu said with a smile, "When I'm looking for Mrs. Su, just say it's someone from the Lu family looking for her."

The nanny went in and soon Su's mother came out to greet her with a smile, carrying the child. "Why didn't you call when you came?" Noticing Lu's father standing behind her, she nodded to say hello and then invited them in.

After finishing breakfast, Mr. Su was about to pick up his suit to go to the company when he saw Mr. Lu and looked surprised. "Mr. Lu."

In business, the Su family and the Ji family are competitors, while the Lu family and the Ji family are on good terms, so there is no business cooperation between them and the Su family. Su's father was very curious as to why President Lu of the Lu Group came to their house so early in the morning.

His gaze swept over the nearly 20 gift boxes on the ground, and his heart pounded even harder.

Mr. Lu also exchanged polite greetings, "Mr. Su, are you going to the company? Then I'll have to trouble you to take a few more minutes. I have something urgent I'd like to discuss with you."

Su's mother's heart skipped a beat. It seemed she'd been too happy yesterday and forgotten to tell Su's father about the child. Now the Lu family was coming to the door...

Su's mother tugged at Su's father, her expression somewhat unnatural, and whispered to him, "Don't get agitated about what they're going to say later." After saying that, she invited them to sit down and then instructed the nanny to make tea.

Su's father: I don't even know what happened, why are you so excited?

Su's mother guessed the reason for the Lu family's arrival, most likely because they already knew the truth, as evidenced by the table full of toys and gifts.

Little Strawberry was quietly playing with her toys next to Su's mother. Lu's father and mother stared at the little one with shining eyes, almost glued to her, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

Lu's mother couldn't help but want to hug Little Strawberry, her heart filled with excitement, "Grandma Yueyue...Grandma bought you a Barbie toy and lots of stuffed animals, come and see which one you like."

Seeing the anticipation and excitement of the Lu family, Su's mother turned to Little Strawberry and said, "Yueyue, go see Grandma and Grandpa's gifts. They bought a lot of beautiful toys. Go pick one out and remember to say thank you."

The little guy politely and obediently said thank you, which melted Lu's mother's heart. She affectionately patted Little Strawberry's head.

Upon hearing the word "grandmother," Lu's mother's eyes welled up with tears, and her gaze towards Little Strawberry became shimmering and blurred. "Thank you," she said to Su's mother.

She didn't expect that Su's mother would be so magnanimous, allowing Yueyue to call her grandma without any hesitation.

I am so grateful! It's gratitude from the bottom of my heart!

Mr. Su sat to one side, somewhat bewildered. Seeing that Mr. Lu, who was usually decisive and with whom he rarely interacted, also had an unusual expression, he nudged his wife beside him and asked, "What's going on?"

Su's mother wiggled her hips and said with a stiff upper lip, "They are Yueyue's biological grandparents. Lu Jinnan is Yueyue's biological father and also your precious daughter's biological son." In one sentence, she made all the relationships between the people clear and simple.

Father Su frowned at Mother Su, his face saying, "You're not kidding me, are you?"

Su's mother shrugged and nodded, indicating that she was serious and not joking.

Lu's mother held Little Strawberry carefully, afraid of squeezing her too tightly. Lu's father pulled his wife to let him hold her for a while, but Lu's mother refused and held on tightly.

After giving up on struggling and looking on with dry envy, Mr. Lu spoke first and got down to business. "President Su, please forgive my intrusion in coming to our home today. I apologize for what my son did. As for the grievances your daughter suffered, I will compensate her with half of Lu's Group's shares."

Before coming, it was agreed that no lavish gifts would be given to avoid burdening the Su family. However, seeing how adorable his granddaughter was, Mr. Lu couldn't bear to part with her and wanted to quickly express his feelings to the Su family.

Whether they accept it or not is their business; whether they are willing to give it to Su Jialiang is the attitude of the Lu family.

Upon hearing this, Lu's mother turned her head and asked her husband with a puzzled look, "Why did you change your plan? Didn't you say not to send expensive gifts?"

It wasn't that she was unwilling to give, but it was agreed that she wouldn't give an extravagant gift, so Lu's mother was very puzzled by Lu's father's actions.

Such an adorable granddaughter, such a beautiful future daughter-in-law, I wouldn't object to giving her all of Lu's shares!

Mr. Lu patted his wife on the shoulder to signal her to calm down, indicating that he had a plan.

Lu's mother stopped caring; these kinds of negotiations were best left to her husband. She continued playing with Little Strawberry.

Mother Su: "............" Is this a betrothal gift? But Xiaoxue said yesterday that she doesn't want to be with Lu Jinnan yet. What should we do? This is a bit too direct. I don't know how to answer. I think Father Su should handle the formalities. With that thought, she tugged at her husband's sleeve where the Lu couple couldn't see, signaling him to speak.

Having clarified the relationships between the people, Mr. Su already understood the meaning behind Mr. Lu's condition. He smiled and refused, "Mr. Lu, you're too kind. Our Su family isn't unreasonable. It's just that this matter is a bit sudden. The rest is up to my daughter to decide. The shares are too valuable, so let's just leave it at that. Let the young people handle their own affairs. It's best if we parents don't interfere." The meaning was clear: I accept if my daughter likes your son, but I don't accept if she doesn't.

Mr. Lu was so clever; how could he not understand this excuse? Anyone else would have agreed long ago upon hearing that half of the Lu family's assets were involved. Only the Su family would refuse so thoroughly. It seems that it will be difficult for his son to gain the approval of his father-in-law.

Su's mother tried to smooth things over, noticing that her husband's expression was a bit serious. Su's father had always been a doting father, showering Xiaoxue with love, while sending his son abroad for training without a second thought. Now that his carefully nurtured daughter had been taken away, he was understandably upset. "Don't worry about him," she said, "He just hasn't accepted that Xiaoxue is having a child yet. He's spoiled Xiaoxue without any limits since she was little. Daughters are always their fathers' little darlings, right? Please try to understand."

Lu's mother wasn't angry, nor did she think Su's father's attitude was wrong. What father would be happy if his precious daughter was taken by his own son? "I understand, I understand. This was indeed my son's fault. He's been apologizing to Xiaoxue every day now."

When the topic came up, Mrs. Su got straight to the point, "Mrs. Lu, Mr. Lu, I'm a straightforward person and don't like beating around the bush. Although this is a fact and the child is born, if Lu Jinnan doesn't genuinely like Xiaoxue and is only being forced to apologize and pursue her, then there's no point. Xiaoxue is mischievous, but we also hope that her future marriage will be loving and happy, not just a compromise." Life is only a few decades long, and settling is the most tragic thing.

These questions left Lu's parents stunned. Indeed, they hadn't thought about this. They were so happy to know that the child belonged to the Lu family that they hadn't considered whether the two children liked each other. They only hoped that their son would apologize to Su Xue and ask for forgiveness. They also believed that since they had a child together, the child must have liked the other.

It seems I'll have to ask my son what he thinks when I get back.

After staying for an hour or so, the Lu family couple reluctantly went back. Before leaving, Lu's mother kept her eyes glued to Little Strawberry and refused to look away.

Su's mother saw this scene, but when it comes to matters of the heart, she still hopes that both parties like each other. In the past, she forced Su Xue to go on blind dates because she hoped that she could find someone she liked.
