Chapter 151: Chapter 151: It Still Has to Be My Eldest Grandson Chapter 151: Chapter 151: It Still Has to Be My Eldest Grandson Yu Zeqin’s face fell, and he cleared his throat.
Everyone eagerly turned their attention to Yu Zeqin.
Others might not understand Yu Zeqin, but they had worked with him for many years and knew him all too well.
On the surface he might seem expressionless, but he was actually more talkative than anyone else.
“Vice President Shao knows,” Yu Zeqin tossed the hot potato to Shao Yunbo.
What a joke, he might love to talk, but he knew what should be said and what shouldn’t. That much he understood.
Now, nobody knew that the CEO had gotten married.
Even when the CEO had contacted Shao Yunbo last ti, asking him to find the school doctor to look at Lu Youxi’s leg, Shao Yunbo rely guessed that Lu Youxi might be soone the CEO liked, but he had no idea they were already married.
Shao Yunbo: “…”
Nice one, Yu Zeqin!
Everyone’s gaze then shifted to Shao Yunbo.
Feeling cornered and utterly innocent, Shao Yunbo said, “I don’t know either! I can only speculate that maybe the CEO is in love.”
He didn’t know the rest.
Outside the conference room, Zhou Shuyan answered a call from Lu Youxi, “Did you pick up Dad and Mom?”
Lu Youxi thought to herself how naturally he called them “Dad and Mom.”
During his ti in the Imperial Capital, Zhou Shuyan never referred to them like that, but now he’d changed his tune without skipping a beat.
“Yep, we’re already ho,” Lu Youxi hinted, “Are you going to work late tonight?”
Zhou Shuyan arched an eyebrow upon hearing this, and asked with a smile, “Do Dad and Mom want to see ?”
“…” Lu Youxi thought to herself how clever he was, and vaguely responded, “If you’re working late, don’t worry. Another day will be just fine.”
“No issues, I’m not working late today,” Zhou Shuyan glanced at his watch, “How are you planning to eat tonight? Dad and Mom brought Youxue all the way here, and according to Zhang Tianhai, they brought a lot of luggage with them. They must be exhausted from the day’s journey. Let’s eat out.”
It seed Zhou Shuyan had everything planned out and didn’t mind the hassle of eting Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu.
Lu Youxi breathed a sigh of relief, but at the sa ti, felt a bit worried. Zhou Shuyan was making such a good impression now, and her parents liked him so much.
If they were to divorce later, her parents would be so upset.
Lu Youxi sighed silently in her heart, and in fact, she found herself hoping Zhou Shuyan wouldn’t be so wonderful or even minimize his interactions with her parents.
“That’s what I was thinking too,” Lu Youxi said nodding, “So I was planning to take them to a small restaurant near the neighborhood.”
Lu Youxi paused, then asked, “What ti do you get off work? Shall we et at the restaurant?”
Zhou Shuyan glanced at his watch again and answered, “I won’t be able to make it to the restaurant until 7 p.m. Let Dad and Mom start without ; they don’t have to wait.”
“They definitely won’t agree to that,” Lu Youxi said with a chuckle, “But I will let them know.”
“I’ll confirm which one and send you a ssage,” Lu Youxi told Zhou Shuyan.
“Alright,” Zhou Shuyan nodded, hung up the phone, and went back to his eting.
Lu Youxi relayed Zhou Shuyan’s intentions to Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu, and sure enough, they did not agree.
“We’re not starving. Besides, can’t we wait just a little while longer?” Liu Yushu said, “We start eating, and let him co find us halfway through the al? What kind of impression does that make? Let’s wait for him.”
After Liu Yushu spoke, she continued to unpack their luggage.
While Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu were busy with their bags, Lu Youbang finally found a small hostel for Lu Family’s elders and the others. Although in the downtown area, it was away from the bustling part and so distance from Jing University.
Lu Youbang asked for two standard rooms, and when it ca ti to pay, he fell silent.
Ge Guifen looked to Lu Family’s elders, who, in turn, looked at Lu Youbang; surprisingly, no one offered to pay.
The hostel’s receptionist waited a while and, losing patience, asked, “Are you going to stay or not?”
“We are,” Ge Guifen said, “We’ll pay for our own. I’ll cover our room.”
Ge Guifen certainly couldn’t let Lu Youbang pay. She told Lu Family’s elders, “Dad, Mom, we can’t possibly let Youbang pay, right? Youbang isn’t earning money; what he has is for his living expenses and education.”
Old Madam Lu pursed her lips, unable to resist complaining, “How co that girl only arrived a month ago and is already earning money, even inviting her parents over to enjoy themselves.”
Seeing Lu Youbang’s reluctance to pay, Old Master Lu also expressed his displeasure in a sarcastic tone: “That’s her scholarship money. Youbang doesn’t have a scholarship.”
Lu Youbang’s face darkened as he listened to their sarcastic remarks.
Ge Guifen was beside herself with anger, “Now you think the girl is capable? Go find her!”
See if Lu Youxi deals with you!
Old Madam Lu took out her wallet, muttering under her breath, “Can’t even compare to a girl.”
Lu Youbang didn’t catch what she said clearly, but Ge Guifen only heard the muttering and didn’t make out the specifics either—she knew well enough it was nothing decent.
Lu Youbang weighed his options. Lu Youxi had made big money in stocks.
He was still considering getting Lu Family’s elders to ask Lu Youxi for money to spend on him.
He couldn’t miss out on the opportunity to make big money by being stingy now.
So, Lu Youbang quickly changed his tune, stopping Old Madam Lu from paying, “Grandma, how could I possibly let you pay? Mom, no need for you either, I’ll cover it.”
Old Madam Lu imdiately bead with a grin, “I knew my eldest grandson was the most capable. A high-achieving student from Jing University and soone bound to earn big money. How could he possibly let his old grandparents spend their own money?”
Lu Youbang managed a strained smile as he took out the money to cover their two-day stay.
The small hostel’s daily rate wasn’t expensive, a hundred yuan per room.
But for Lu Youbang, paying this two hundred yuan still felt like a painful loss.
Nowadays, he was reluctant to spend even two yuan.
After the front desk handed over the keys, Lu Youbang helped move the luggage into the rooms.
Ge Guifen and Lu Youzhen then went over to Lu Family’s elders’ room.
They still hadn’t finished discussing their business.
Upon entering, they heard Old Madam Lu ask, “Youbang, what are we eating tonight? Where are we eating?”
Old Master Lu chid in, “I saw a small restaurant just down the road a mont ago. The food slled so good.”
Lu Youbang thought since the money was already spent, he might as well keep spending it.
He couldn’t really let them go hungry, so he said, “Alright then, we’ll go eat at that small restaurant tonight.”
“Oh my, I’m really living off my eldest grandson today!” Old Madam Lu said with a cheerful face, “I’ve lived to this age and have never dined out. Tonight’s a first, all thanks to my eldest grandson.”
Ge Guifen sneered inwardly, thinking that the old lady was clearly not planning to spend any money.
But it didn’t matter, Lu Youbang had money.
Lu Zhenjia had managed to get a substantial amount of money from Lu Zhenguo for Lu Youbang before. That money could last Lu Youbang for quite so ti, and Ge Guifen was well aware of this.
Lu Youbang had more money in his hands than the family did.
