Fang Zhou, I'm just a farmer, not Shennong!

With the addition of the huge capital of Shi Huaiya family, Longmen, which was in ruins at that time, had a steady flow of funds into the market, and the Shi Huaiya family also flourished with the continuous strengthening of Longmen.

It can be said that the two complement each other.

Under the leadership of Shi Huaiya, the two soon arrived at the main residence of the Shi Huaiya family in the center of the manor in this private city.

"Miss Beatrix, you're back."

The maids and housekeepers in charge of daily affairs in the main house smiled and spoke respectfully after seeing Shi Huaiya.

Especially when they saw Lu Yuan beside Shi Huaiya, their pupils trembled instantly.

As maids who had worked in the Shi Huaiya family for many years, they never expected that their eldest daughter would bring a "male friend" home at this time, and without any warning.

"They seem shocked~"

Lu Yuan smiled.

Shi Huaiya's pretty face flushed red, and she stammered, "After all... this is the first time I've brought a male friend home since I was a child."

"Hahaha, I'm so honored."

Then, the two of them walked towards the deepest part of the main house.

According to Shi Huaiya's previous introduction, his grandfather, Adams Shi Huaiya, the head of the Shi Huaiya family, was very old and had some chronic diseases in his body, and needed long-term hospitalization and bed rest.

Of course, for such big shots, it is impossible to actually stay in the hospital.

Instead, they moved wards that far surpassed those in ordinary hospitals, as well as necessary equipment such as operating rooms and emergency rooms, to their homes and staffed them with the most professional doctors and nurses.

Since Mr. Adams had to stay in bed for a long time, he no longer had the energy to take care of family affairs, and almost all family affairs were left to his children.

And in order to manage the family business.

The children have to stay abroad for a long time and rarely come back. Only the children who manage the Longmen industry will come back to see old man Adams from time to time.

Most of the time, Mr. Adams was lying alone in the hospital bed. If he wanted to talk, only the butler who followed him could chat with him.

dong dong dong...

Shi Huaiya knocked on the door of the room. Her movements were very light, quite light, and quite regular, as if she was afraid of using too much force and scaring her grandfather.

"Please come in..."

An old but majestic voice was heard in the room.

Shi Huaiya pushed open the door.

He ran in smiling.

"Grandpa, I'm back!!"

Shi Huaiya said lively.

When he saw that it was his darling granddaughter, old man Adams, who was leaning on the bed looking at the family financial report in his hand, immediately put down the report and also laughed.

"My darling granddaughter is back~"

As soon as Mr. Adams saw Shi Huaiya, his voice changed from majestic to as if he was just an ordinary old man.

The voice was extremely gentle, and the eyes on the wrinkled face were smiling like crescents.

Then the next second, Mr. Adams' gaze immediately fell on Lu Yuan who was following behind Shi Huaiya.

A fierce light flashed in his eyes for a moment, and in an instant, he seemed to have turned back into the head of the Shi Huaiya family who had once been a prominent figure in the business world.

My precious granddaughter brought a boy back home?!

to be frank.

Fortunately, Shi Huaiya's father is not in Longmen for the time being, otherwise his eyes would definitely be sharper than that of old man Adams.

Nowadays, when a boy brings a female friend home, his parents are happy, but when a girl brings a male friend home, her parents look at her with scrutiny.

I want to see what kind of "pig" is digging up my own cabbage and whether it has the right to dig up my own cabbage.

In fact, as a grandfather, Adams Swire has always kept the marriage of his precious granddaughter in his heart.

After all, when you get older, who doesn’t want to see their children and grandchildren? Who doesn’t want to see their great-grandchildren while they are still alive?

However, his granddaughter has been strong-willed since she was a child, and now she has become a senior superintendent in the Longmen Guard Bureau, and she also has the understanding of the Shi Huaiya family.

Old man Adams, an ordinary group son, didn't even bother to look at him.

Not to mention the young masters of ordinary groups, even the largest giant groups in Longmen that have monopolized an industry are looked down upon by old man Adams.

He once discussed with his son the criteria for a future grandson-in-law, and it was pretty much...

Either he should be a young nobleman of the Count Victoria or above, or a young master of an international group. Putting aside his family background, he should have strong abilities and not be a rich playboy who only relies on his parents for support.

Otherwise, how could he be worthy of his own granddaughter?

Now he saw his granddaughter bringing a boy back without saying a word in advance, and he had no idea about the boy's background.

Even elders need to strictly examine and approve everything.

only.

Why does this young man look familiar?

"Hello, old man. The New Year is coming soon. Shi Huaiya and I happened to be free, so we came to see you during the New Year. I also happened to come and visit you."

Lu Yuan is quite polite and courteous.

He put the New Year's goods in his hands on the ground.

You can buy New Year’s goods at will.

For elders of this level, as long as it can be bought with money, it doesn't matter what gift they give. There is no need to be too deliberate.

"Hello."

Lu Yuan was so polite, so it was naturally impossible for old man Adams to show his elder's displeasure as soon as they met, so he spoke casually.

"Please sit down~"

Old man Adams pointed to the two small sofas next to him and asked the two to sit down.

"My dear granddaughter, you brought your friends home today without telling me, and I was really scared."

"Hehe, I want to give grandpa a surprise~"

"Why don't you introduce your friend to Grandpa?"

Shi Huaiya immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Grandfather, let me introduce you. This is Lu Yuan. I don't think I need to introduce him any further."

"land...."

"????"

Old man Adams first muttered the name softly, and then the next second, his cloudy and sharp eyes widened.

His eyes were fixed on Lu Yuan.

The original scrutiny had already disappeared after hearing this name.

"Is that Mr. Lu?"

Old man Adams tentatively asked in more detail.

Shi Huaiya nodded vigorously: "Of course!"

Mr. Adams' eyes brightened.

Although he had never met Lu Yuan, all the stories about Lu Yuan in the past two years had reached Mr. Adams' ears.

Although he was recuperating, he did not accept any news or intelligence from the entire Longmen.

This also includes Lu Yuan, who has risen in the past two years.

Mr. Lu.

From establishing the People's Food Association, to suppressing the slum gangs, to crushing the huge mutated infected monsters guarding Longmen, and completely sweeping away the filth of Longmen, integrating the slums that have been a headache for Lin Gerui and Wei Yanwu for so many years.

In two years, Lin Gerui and Wei Yanwu have walked the path that took them decades to complete.

of course.

These are just on the surface. His identity behind the scenes is countless times more powerful than on the surface.

For example, the Great Yan Agricultural Master, the future Guardian of the Nation, the agricultural genius that transcends time, the young man who changes the world...

Many titles are gathered in one person.

Maybe that's the way it is.

Lu Yuan looked like a person.

In fact, behind him is not only Longmen, but also Dayan.

With such an identity, not to mention the little earl of Victoria, even the grand duke is not qualified to commit fraud.

"Okay~Okay~"

Old man Adams' eyes were almost slits from laughing.

If we were to ask who in this world Mr. Adams most hopes to be his grandson-in-law, it would definitely be Mr. Lu.

Now that he saw his granddaughter bringing Lu Yuan home, how could Mr. Adams not be happy?

"Xiao Yuan, you finally made it to my house, why don't you stay for lunch~"

Then, without waiting for Lu Yuan to answer, old man Adams immediately shouted loudly with full energy.

“Old man!!”

As soon as Mr. Adams called out, the door of the room opened and the butler who was in charge of the daily affairs of the entire family pushed the door open and walked in.

"Immediately arrange a family dinner at noon, of the highest standard!! Call back all family members in Longmen, including those little ones!"

After saying this, old man Adams got out of bed directly. His legs and feet were very nimble, and he didn't look like he was recuperating in bed at all.

This left Lu Yuan stunned.

"Xiao Yuan, you and Beatrix go play at home for a while. I'll call you for lunch. Don't be polite. Just treat this place like home. And there's no need to call me Grandpa Adams. Just follow Beatrix and call me Grandpa. We're all the same age~"

After saying that, Mr. Adams, supported by the butler, strode out of the room, probably to change his clothes.

Lu Yuan was the only one left in the room, standing there in a daze.

After a while, Lu Yuan finally responded and said with a smile: "The old man is really efficient and decisive. It seems that you, little rich girl, have inherited a lot of your grandfather's style."

At this time, Shi Huaiya's heart was as sweet as if it were soaked in honey.

"Hehe~ The main reason is that you, Xiao Yuan, went home with me. You are so proud of yourself~"

"Come on, Xiao Yuan, I'll show you around the house."

Then, the two of them stood up.

Under Shi Huaiya's guidance, Lu Yuan took a long tour of the huge manor of Shi Huaiya's family, including Shi Huaiya's own boudoir.

Soon, it was exactly twelve o'clock.

When the clanging of the hour bell echoed throughout the entire manor, the butler in charge of the entire family walked respectfully up to the two of them.

"Miss, Master, the master is calling you two for lunch~"

When the two of them leisurely returned to the manor's restaurant from the manor's courtyard.

At this time, the huge restaurant was already full of people, including middle-aged men and women, as well as young boys and girls who looked not too old and were of the same age as Shi Huaiya.

Even in ordinary people's families, there are many aunts and uncles, not to mention wealthy families.

All eyes were focused on Lu Yuan, as if Lu Yuan was the current male protagonist.

In these eyes, there is curiosity, expectation, calmness, and contempt...

"Come to Xiaoyuan, sit down~~"

Old man Adams patted the seat next to him and enthusiastically invited Lu Yuan to sit down.

Such an action had a completely different meaning in the eyes of other people present.

The bigger the family, the less kinship there is. On the contrary, there are more rules and hierarchy.

Although the Shi Huaiya family does not favor these things, they still have some of the most basic ones.

However, Mr. Adams actually invited Beatrix's 'male friend' to sit directly next to him.
