Chapter 231: When do you plan to get married?
Leng Qingqiu's home is nestled within a lush manor in LA City, surrounded by gardens meticulously pruned by foreign horticulturists, looking extraordinarily beautiful.
Amidst the greenery and colorful flowers, a six-story building stood quietly at the very center of the manor, exuding a grand presence.
"After five years, seeing your family's manor again, I must say, these buildings and gardens are truly tasteful," Lu Yu remarked while taking in the scenery before him. "Back then, I often came here with my old man."
As he spoke, Lu Yu's gaze swept across the Leng Family Manor, his eyes filled with a calm demeanor.
"Alright, it's not like the house has changed much in these five years. Come inside with me, my mother is waiting for you," Leng Qingqiu said casually, looking at Lu Yu, his words carrying a sense of detachment.
"Alright then, I'll meet my future mother-in-law," Lu Yu replied with resignation. Although he didn't really want to come to the Leng Family Manor now, due to the contract he signed with Leng Qingqiu, he felt obliged and thus braced himself to enter.
As soon as he stepped into the building, Lu Yu instantly noticed Leng Qingqiu's mother sitting in the living room, watching television, and appearing quite relaxed.
Leng Qingqiu's mother, Ye Siwen, was also a successful businesswoman who had her own enterprise before marrying Leng Qingqiu's father.
Beside Ye Siwen sat a gentle-looking middle-aged man wearing glasses, who was accompanying her watching TV, with a faint smile on his face.
This middle-aged man was Leng Qingqiu's father, named Leng Huai Xin, also the chairman of Victory Group.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back,"
Upon entering the living room, Leng Qingqiu spoke with a calm tone, "I brought Lu Yu along."
With these words, Leng Huai Xin and Ye Siwen immediately turned their gaze towards Lu Yu, showing a hint of surprise.
Five years ago, Leng Huai Xin and Ye Siwen were good friends with Lu Yu's parents, which is why Leng Qingqiu became Lu Yu's fiancée.
"So it's Lu Yu, please have a seat,"
Seeing Lu Yu, Ye Siwen and Leng Huai Xin spoke with smiles.
"Thank you, Uncle, Aunt,"
Lu Yu smiled faintly and then sat down in the Leng Family's living room.
Sensing Lu Yu's demeanor, Leng Huai Xin and Ye Siwen were slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised.
They had met Lu Yu five years ago and were quite familiar with his character, so seeing him like this today left them slightly astonished.
"Lu Yu, you've really changed a lot over these years,"
Looking at Lu Yu, still young but with a subtle sense of weariness that belied his age on his youthful face.
This hint of weariness perhaps escaped Leng Qingqiu's notice, but not Leng Huai Xin and Ye Siwen's, as they saw an entirely different aura in him compared to before.
"Indeed, Uncle, Aunt. If the past events hadn't caused me to grow, then I'd be really heartless,"
Lu Yu smiled wryly, his words carrying a tinge of helplessness.
This smile, imbued with a sense of old pain, inevitably reminded him of his parents.
Back then, he often visited the Leng Family Manor with his parents, so it was unavoidable to feel nostalgic upon seeing the familiar surroundings.
Seeing Lu Yu, Leng Huai Xin sighed softly, then said to him, "Lu Yu, you don't have to feel this way. I know about the past, so let's not bring up the sad things today."
With that, Leng Huai Xin handed a USB drive to Lu Yu and said, "I didn't find much, but I did come across some footage of your parents from back then. I'm giving it to you as a keepsake."
Lu Yu glanced at the USB drive before accepting it, saying, "Thank you, Uncle."
"No need to thank us. We were friends with your parents, helping you is the least we can do. Besides, we didn't ask Lu Yu here to discuss such heavy topics,"
Ye Siwen looked at her husband and spoke up.
"Yes, indeed,"
Upon hearing his wife, Leng Huai Xin paused momentarily before saying, "I got so caught up in mentioning sad things that I forgot the main reason we called Lu Yu here."
As he spoke, Leng Huai Xin looked at Lu Yu and asked, "Lu Yu, I heard you're Qingqiu's boyfriend now?"
"That's right, he's my boyfriend,"
At this moment, Leng Qingqiu, having changed her clothes, descended the stairs casually.
Leng Qingqiu was no longer in her usual business attire, instead donning casual wear, which, while lessening the fierce aura of a female executive, added a homely charm that made it hard for people to look away once they saw her.
"Indeed, Uncle, I am Qingqiu's boyfriend,"
Lu Yu said with a smile.
"In that case, we're relieved,"
Upon hearing Lu Yu's admission, Leng Huai Xin and Ye Siwen smiled, exchanged a glance, then said to Lu Yu, "Lu Yu, we have something to discuss with you."
The tone of Leng Huai Xin's words carried slight hesitation.
The moment those words were spoken, Lu Yu's expression froze slightly. As he looked at the expressions of Leng Huai Xin and Ye Siwen, his heart skipped a beat.
Was this suggesting they wanted him to leave Leng Qingqiu?
With such thoughts, Lu Yu merely smiled and said, "No problem, Uncle, Aunt, just ask directly. We're all family here."
Lu Yu said confidently, his words filled with warmth.
Listening to Lu Yu, Leng Huai Xin and Ye Siwen nodded and smiled, "Since this is the case, Lu Yu, we won't hold back. We wanted to ask,"
As he spoke, Leng Huai Xin paused, instantly intensifying the atmosphere, and Lu Yu could almost anticipate what Leng Huai Xin would say next.
Leng Huai Xin slightly raised his head and asked Lu Yu, "When do you and Qingqiu plan to get married?"
