After detours and detours of the garden path for more than half an hour, the housekeeper took Liu Lian and Lu Ziqi straight to the door of the study on the second floor of the villa.

The butler raised his hand and knocked on the door a few times, and said through the door, "Master, I brought Miss here."

Not long after, a deep male voice came from inside: "Let them in."

The housekeeper opened the door of the study a little, and made a "please" gesture to Liu Lian and Lu Ziqi.

Liu Lian was a little timid, standing at the door and pulling the corner of Lu Ziqi's clothes, he dared not go in.Lu Ziqi looked at Liu Lian and smiled slightly, said "Come on" softly, pushed the door open and led Liu Lian in.

There were five or six people sitting on the sofa in the study room, all of them turned their heads to look at Lu Ziqi and Liu Lian for a while, staring at Liu Lian as if they wanted to see a hole in her.

Lu Ziqi greeted everyone with a cold expression, and Liu Lian also nervously called grandparents, uncles and aunts.

"Stop standing still, you all come and sit down." An auntie with a kind smile waved to Lu Ziqi and Liu Lian.

Lu Ziqi pulled Liu Lian to an empty seat on the sofa and sat down.

After sitting on the sofa, the old man with a serious face sitting in the middle opposite said, "You are Liu Lian, right?"

This old man should be Commander Lu. It is better to meet him than to be famous. As expected, as Liu Lian thought, he would startle everyone with his mouth.Liu Lian, who was named, smiled, tried to relax herself, and said, "Well, yes, hello, Grandpa Lu."

"When did you start dating Zi Qi?" Commander Lu asked again. He looked at Liu Lian expressionlessly, and it was impossible to tell from his expression what was going on in his heart.

"Not long ago." Liu Lian smiled awkwardly.

Commander Lu paused, thought for a moment and then said, "You..."

"Old man, don't ask so many questions." Lu Ziqi said before Commander Lu could speak, "I just asked you to meet in advance this time, and I didn't bring her here for you to interrogate. I'll talk about it later if you have any questions. "

Commander Lu, who was slapped in the face on the spot, became a little embarrassed, and immediately blew his beard and stared: "You girl, I think the relationship between you two has not been shaken yet, and your elbows are turning outward."

Lu Ziqi said nonchalantly, "It's really not up to you to decide if we didn't get it right."

"Did you play against me as soon as you came back?" Commander Lu got angry, slapped the coffee table, and immediately became furious, "As long as your surname is Lu one day, I will take care of your affairs, your father They were all brought up by me, how can you leave them clean?"

Hearing this, Lu Ziqi's face fell instantly, and he said in a deep voice, "I said, when will you talk about something, can you not involve my dad?"

Commander Lu raised his voice and responded without showing any weakness: "I said my son still needs you to talk too much?"

Lu Ziqi's expression was cold, and he stared at Commander Lu. He was about to explode, and Liu Lian, who was so frightened, quickly grabbed Lu Ziqi's hand and whispered in her ear, "Don't say it, don't say it."

Seeing this, the other people present hurriedly chattered about the topic.

The aunt who greeted Liu Lian at the beginning was the youngest daughter of Commander Lu, she smiled and supported Commander Lu's arm, and said softly: "Dad, how often does Zi Qi come back, don't you always talk about her?" If you have something to say, you have to talk about it. The two of you, grandpa and grandson, are most alike in that you have a bad temper, so can't you just talk calmly?"

Commander Lu snorted, turned his head away and his gloomy expression eased a little. In fact, he might not want to quarrel with Lu Ziqi, but he was used to confrontation with Lu Ziqi, and it became a habit for the two of them to confront each other as soon as they met.

Now that his daughter said so, Commander Lu went down the steps: "I won't argue with her so much about this matter, but don't let it happen next time. If I don't show off my power, I'm afraid that some people will think I'm old. It's a shame."

Lu Ziqi pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Okay, okay, then this matter is over, calm down." Aunt Lu smiled and patted Commander Lu on the shoulder, then looked at the wall clock on the wall and said, "Oh, it's already past two o'clock , look how long we have been waiting, Aunt Zhang downstairs should have prepared all the food, I think everyone is here, why don't we go down to eat."

Everyone else felt that the atmosphere in the study was oppressive, and they all agreed that it was time to eat at noon.

Commander Lu nodded, and set off to the living room on the first floor with a group of people in the study. Lu Ziqi and Liu Lian walked in the back.

Lu Ziqi's face was tense, as if he hadn't recovered from the anger just now.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry." Liu Lian squeezed Lu Ziqi's hand and said, "You don't know that you are in the game, but I, a bystander, think that your grandfather is really good to you. I'm afraid if it wasn't for him If you ordered, how could your relatives wait until we arrived before serving dinner?"

Lu Ziqi sighed, shook his head, hesitated to speak for a long time, and finally said: "You won't understand."

Liu Lian immediately said: "You never tell anything about your family, how could I understand?"

Lu Ziqi said lightly: "That's because it's useless to tell you, and there's no way to change the status quo, and there's nothing to say."

Liu Lian quietly rolled her eyes at Lu Ziqi.

"Zi Qi, Xiao Lian, what are you still doing standing there?" Aunt Lu who had already walked to the dining table and opened the chair waved to the two who were whispering at the stairs, "Come here, the food will be cold if you don't eat anymore gone."

Lu Ziqi automatically blocked Aunt Lu's voice and pretended not to hear it. Liu Lian quietly pinched Lu Ziqi's waist, and quickly replied, "Yes, here we come."

This time is definitely the most depressing meal Liu Lian has ever had. I don’t know if it is the rule that rich people are not allowed to talk when they eat, or if everyone has nothing to say. No one spoke, even except for Liu Lian and Lu Ziqi, the others didn't even make eye contact.

This meal made Liu Lian want to hit the wall. The oppressive and dull atmosphere made her feel uncomfortable. She suddenly remembered how happy it would be to have dinner with Liu's father and Liu mother during the Chinese New Year. Everyone chatting while eating is not like this at all. Such rules.

Before eating, Liu Lian thought that Commander Lu would continue to ask her a lot of miscellaneous questions, but she didn't expect that Commander Lu had no intention of talking to him until he left the table after eating.

In the end, Liu Lian, who couldn't stand it anymore, went to the bathroom with an excuse.

Liu Lian stayed in the bathroom for more than ten minutes. She stood in front of the mirror, dipped her hands in tap water and patted her face, trying to wake herself up. She made a fist at herself in the mirror: "Come on!"

At this time, the bathroom door was knocked several times.

"Please wait a moment, I'll come out right away." Liu Lian hurriedly tidied up her outfit, took out cosmetics, and touched up her makeup. After everything was done, she took her bag and went to open the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lu Ziqi standing outside the door very coolly with his hands in his trouser pockets.

"Let's go in first." Lu Ziqi said and squeezed in.

Liu Lian was very puzzled by Lu Ziqi's sudden behavior, and thought she had something important to tell her, but after waiting for a long time, Lu Ziqi did not speak.

Lu Ziqi didn't say anything, just sat on the toilet and raised his legs, then took out a cigarette and a lighter from his jeans pocket, lit the cigarette, took a few deep breaths, and blew out white smoke with his head raised and melancholy. smoke.

Liu Lian frowned at that time, she really didn't like women smoking, especially her girlfriend.Liu Lian walked over and took the cigarette out of Lu Ziqi's mouth, soaked it with water in front of the sink, and threw it into the trash can.

Lu Ziqi clicked impatiently: "What are you doing?"

"I just want to ask what you are doing!" Liu Lian turned around and walked to stand in front of Lu Ziqi, put away the lighter in her hand, looked down at her and said, "Didn't I tell you not to smoke? Smoking It’s harmful to your health, by the way, haven’t you bought cigarettes yet? Where did that one come from?”

"I put it in the car as a spare. When I came here, I took one in my bag to prepare." Lu Ziqi frowned and said honestly. She scratched her hair irritably, leaning against the wall with a decadent look, "I'm in a bad mood right now." It's too bad, you should stop dangling in front of my eyes all the time, it's annoying to watch."

Liu Lian retorted: "How can I dangle around? I have been standing here without moving."

Lu Ziqi waved his hand and said, "Then go out first, don't stand in front of me, I want to be alone for a while."

Hearing this, Liu Lian's face was full of black lines: "Hey, I was going to go out just now, but you pushed me in."

Lu Ziqi did not answer Liu Lian's words, but leaned her head against the wall and closed her eyes to fall asleep. Her thick eyelashes cast a silhouette on her fair skin. Her pursed lips never relaxed. An arrow on a string can hurt someone at any time.Liu Lian knew that Lu Ziqi was also very nervous, and her palms were sweating non-stop while holding her, and she had to be on guard like this when she returned to her own home. She didn't know if it was sad.

Liu Lian stood there and waited until Lu Ziqi had almost rested, then pushed her shoulder and urged, "Let's get out quickly, or they'll all be waiting outside."

"Don't worry about this, we don't have much weight in their hearts, no one will care about us." Lu Ziqi said, she didn't even bother to open her eyes.

"I think your aunt is very nice, she is kind and kind, and she seems to treat you very well!" Liu Lian said.

Lu Ziqi let out a chuckle, she slowly opened her eyes, looked at Liu Lian with a hint of disdain, curled her lips and said, "Old Liu, you can't just look at people on the surface, bad guys don't know what's in their hearts It's all written on the face, the better the person pretends to be, sometimes the one with the deepest scheming."

Liu Lian looked at Lu Ziqi half understanding.

Lu Ziqi stood up, tidied up his somewhat messy clothes, and said, "The fact that I like women has been spread in the Lu family, and I also told them that I will never marry a man in my life, and I won't if I don't get married." I have children, and of course I don't have the problem of snatching the inheritance of the Lu family, so these people are not very wary of me."

Liu Lian followed Lu Ziqi to the door of the bathroom. When Lu Ziqi reached out to hold the doorknob, Liu Lian who had been silent for a long time suddenly asked, "Then do you want to inherit the Lu family?" Lu Ziqi said that Commander Lu has two daughters. One son, the eldest son is Lu Ziqi's father, the second daughter is Aunt Lu, and the youngest daughter is Lu Dandan. As Commander Lu's only grandson with the surname Lu, Lu Ziqi should inherit the Lu family business.

Lu Ziqi paused, and then said: "I think, how could I not want to!"

Liu Lian was taken aback, opened her mouth and didn't know how to answer, and then heard Lu Ziqi say: "But this wish may not come true."

Liu Lian: "???"

Before Liu Lian could react in the future, Lu Ziqi suddenly grabbed Liu Lian's hand, put his other arm around her waist, and immediately pressed her against the bathroom door.

Liu Lian watched helplessly as Lu Ziqi's face grew bigger and bigger, until finally the soft lips fell on her own.

Lu Ziqi closed her eyes and kissed Liu Lian carefully, she stretched out her tongue and gently pried open Liu Lian's teeth, wrapped her tongue and danced with it.
