“Hmm?” Even i Shu was montarily taken aback.
Lu Ting thought she hadn’t heard him clearly, so he repeated, his face cold, “I apologize for my previous remarks and hope we can start afresh, putting aside past grievances.”
i Shu raised an eyebrow in surprise, walked down the stairs, and sighed in front of the old man, “Please have a seat.”
Lu Ting complied and instinctively glanced at i Yan, seeming concerned about his opinion.
i Shu continued, “Yanyan, co and sit too. Don’t you have sothing to say to Mr. Lu in person?”
i Yan hesitated for a mont before approaching, standing in front of Lu Ting, and said seriously, “Grandpa Lu, 1 really like the gift you gave , but it’s too precious for . Please don’t give such expensive gifts in the future. I know you like , and that’s enough for .”
Lu Ting felt sowhat pleased, unable to maintain his stern expression, “As long as you like it. Don’t think it’s too precious. These things may seem valuable to you when you’re young, but when you grow up, even if they can fetch a sky-high price, you won’t like them anymore. So, while you’re still young, play with good toys. Isn’t that nice?”
i Yan smiled innocently, “I’ve said what I wanted to say. You and Sister can talk now; 1’11 go freshen up!”
“Hey, Yanyan, slow down.” Lu Ting was still a little worried as he watched i Yan hop away. He was afraid that this child would accidentally fall and break it.
“Mr. Lu.”
i Shu called back his attention, speaking lightly, “Is this apology your own decision, or did soone else ask you to co?”
Lu Ting’s expression betrayed so embarrassnt in the face of her inquiry.
After all, they had been at odds not long ago, and he, an old man, had to be the first to apologize. He couldn’t completely let go of his pride, but since things had co to this, he didn’t intend to avoid it. He spoke truthfully, “It was Su Zhi who asked to co. I lost a move to him in chess.”
“I see,” i Shu chuckled self-deprecatingly.
Lu Ting, hearing her tone, grew anxious, “Don’t misunderstand. 1 genuinely wanted to apologize to you this ti. That old man just gave a little push. i Shu, I admit my previous words to you were indeed excessive. As your and Lu Si’s elder, I should lead by example and admit when I make mistakes. I ca to sincerely apologize to you.”
i Shu poured him a cup of tea with her own hands and said leisurely, “Apart from this?”
Lu Ting looked at her in surprise. He did not expect this girl to be so sharp. He took a sip of tea and said, “Other than this, the tea that i Yan gave last ti was also taken away by that old fellow. Can you give so more? I know that it’s not easy to make that tea. It doesn’t matter how much it costs. Na a price.”
This ti i Shu couldn’t help but chuckle, “Forget it, how could 1 take your money?”
She motioned to a servant, “Go fetch the jar of tea leaves from the kitchen cabinet and give it to Mr. Lu.”
Lu Ting imdiately smiled, “You’re so generous. You’re not like an ordinary young lady. It seems you weren’t just boasting when you said you wanted to develop the i family to the level of the Lu family. You have the capability.” i Shu smiled and said, “Are you saying that I won our bet?”
“Of course not,” Lu Ting shook his head hastily, “You’ve only won when you’ve developed the i family to the level of the Lu family. It’s not ti yet.”
i Shu stopped teasing him and said seriously, “Since you’re done talking, I’ll go to work first. Yanyan will co down to accompany you later. You can stay as long as you want this ti.”
Was this her way of accepting his apology?
Lu Ting was pleasantly surprised, “Okay, go ahead with your work. You don’t have to worry about . i Yan and I will be fine.”
i Shu picked up her bag and left with a smile, just as Tang i’s call ca in.
“Ms. i, 1 received a photo just now. It might be related to the monster you’re investigating.”
i Shu’s smile faded, she opened the car door and got in, her voice serious, “I’ll be at the office soon. Wait for there.”
i Group’s headquarters, top floor.
When i Shu arrived, Tang i had already boiled the tea and was waiting for her.
“Ms. i, here’s the photo.”
i Shu took a look and realized the photo was blurry, but she could vaguely see three or four people collaborating to subdue a beast she had never seen before, taken at a beach.
“Where did this photo co from?” i Shu’s voice involuntarily turned cold.
Tang i imdiately said, “Soone sent it to our company’s email this morning. Ms. i, if this photo captures the beast that appeared on the island back then, does it an soone knew in advance that Master Si’s parents would go to the island for vacation, so they deliberately released the beast there?”
i Shu narrowed her eyes and began to operate her computer, “I’ll investigate this personally. Contact Master Fu and ask him to send the records of the foreign detectives we investigated with that night..”
