In the courtyard house.
Old Master Lu and Old Guo didn't let the young man's little episode affect their joy of reunion. They chatted happily.
Since Old Guo had come from afar, Mrs. Lu naturally had to prepare a sumptuous feast to welcome him.
Fortunately, the New Year had just ended and there were still a lot of 'reserves' at home. Mrs. Lu did not have to go out on a special trip.
Most importantly, Old Guo came alone. Including their family of three, there were only four people. It was easy to get rid of him!
Soon, Mrs. Lu finished preparing the dishes and set the dining table in the courtyard.
"Old Lu, have you ever thought of letting Lu Xuan enter the system?”
After the conversation started, Old Guo no longer addressed Old Master Lu as Old Company Commander. Instead, he addressed him as Old Lu. Of course, to be addressed as an official of the border was enough to prove Old Master Lu's position in his heart.
"I won't interfere with this!"
? Old Master Lu shook his head and said," Although I had such thoughts back then, he didn't seem to be interested in this!" Perhaps he didn't like to be restrained!”
"Is that so? Lu Xuan?"
Old Guo turned to look at Lu Xuan and asked,""If you're interested in the system, Uncle Guo can help you pave the way! No matter what, you are still a graduate of a key university. Go and take the civil service examination first. After entering that door, a brand new world will appear in front of you.”
"Thank you, Uncle Guo."
Lu Xuan smiled and shook his head.""Dad understands me on this point! It's said that a father knows his son best. I didn't believe it in the past, but now I believe it!”
Old Master Lu glared at Lu Xuan and said in a disappointed tone,""How can I not know about your little tricks?”
"I'm really envious to see you two getting along so well.”
Old Guo raised his wine glass and clinked it with Old Master Lu's. He shook his head and sighed."Unlike me, who gave birth to three disappointing sons. Each one of them is more useless than the last. If not for me, their father, supporting them, they would either be lying on the streets or sitting in prison!”
"Beep, beep, beep…"
Before Old Guo could finish his sentence, the phone in his bag suddenly rang. Seeing this, Old Master Lu, who was about to speak, naturally raised his glass and took a sip alone.
"Look!"
After taking out his phone and looking at the caller ID, Old Guo shook his head and smiled bitterly."Speak of the devil! It's this prodigal third brother again!"
Although he was cursing, Old Guo still pressed the answer button.
"Dad!"
Old Guo had just pressed the answer button when a grumbling voice came from the phone." Why didn't you go to Treasure Trove Pavilion? I'm still waiting for your good news!"
"There's no room for discussion!"
Hearing the grumbling voice from the phone, Old Guo's aura suddenly changed. Sweeping away the kind look of the neighbor, he said without anger,"Miss Shi already has a boyfriend! Don't disturb him, understand?”
"What?"
Hearing Old Guo mention that the Shi family's eldest daughter already had a boyfriend, a cry of surprise immediately came from the phone. Then, the other party denied it,"That's impossible. Shi Junxian clearly told me that Shi Yufei has never had a boyfriend in all these years. He wouldn't lie to me!”
"So you think your father would lie to you?”Old Guo's eyes turned cold and he said in a deep voice,"Put away your little thoughts, Third Brother." Shi Junxian is looking for you because he wants to build a relationship with the Guo family. And you want to use Shi Jun Xian's weakness to become the owner of Treasure Trove Pavilion, is that right?”
Hearing Old Guo's words, the other party panicked." Dad." How…how did you know?"
"I'm giving you a serious warning! Don't do these dirty things for your father. Now that your father has retired, no one can save you if you make a big deal out of it!”
After saying that, Old Guo hung up the phone. Then, he changed his imposing manner and looked at Old Master Lu with a smile." Old Lu, I've made a fool of myself!”
Old Master Lu smiled slightly and picked up a bottle of Maotai to personally fill Old Guo's cup. He said bluntly,"Drink. Let's drink!"
From the moment Guo Jingzhong expressed that he would never get involved in the matters of the young, Old Master Lu's attitude was very clear. If Lu Xuan and Shi Yufei were really a couple, then he would definitely interfere in this matter!
When he said that he would go to the other party's house with a bag of explosives, he was usually joking and telling Guo Jingzhong to take good care of his son.
If Guo Jingzhong's son really came to find trouble with Lu Xuan, then what he said was not just a joke!
Of course, he would definitely not carry a bag of explosives, but through the connections he had accumulated over the years in the military and the system, he was not worried that Guo Jingzhong's son would suppress his son!
In terms of literature, Guo Jingzhong was indeed better than him, and not just by a little!
However, if he were to get serious, those subordinates who had risked their lives on the battlefield with him back then were now all generals who guarded a region.
This was also the reason why Guo Jingzhong immediately expressed his stance.
As a former subordinate of Old Master Lu, he knew the temperament of this old company commander and his glorious past very well.
Although Old Master Lu had not been promoted since he returned from the army, those subordinates who he had dug out from the pile of dead bodies and snatched back from the Grim Reaper were now doing better than the last!
The only reason why they could get to where they were today was because Old Master Lu, the old company commander, had given them a second life.
The life-and-death relationship established on the battlefield was far stronger than the network of relationships he had spread after he became an official in the border!
Most importantly, Old Master Lu was famous for being protective of his children.
In the past, when he was still leading the army, he was the only one who could bully his soldiers. If anyone dared to bully his soldiers, he would definitely bring the entire company of soldiers to the other party's door the next day to demand an explanation!
Perhaps it was because they had inherited the genes of their father protecting their children that the five daughters of the Lu family were extremely protective of Lu Xuan, the only son of the Lu family. This was also the origin of the five Voldemort.
Although Old Master Lu didn't reveal it very clearly, it wasn't difficult for Lu Xuan to tell from Guo Jingzhong's reaction that his father wasn't as simple as he thought.
"Oh, right ~"
After downing three cups with Old Master Lu, Old Guo suddenly thought of something and asked tentatively,"Old Lu. When I found out your contact information and address, I also had a rough understanding of your family's situation. I heard that something unpleasant happened in your eldest son-in-law's house?”
"This is the Han family's business!"
Old Master Lu was not surprised that Old Guo knew so much about his family. He said calmly,"You've already retired, so don't ask about these things. Let me put it this way. Compared to helping my eldest son-in-law get through this crisis, I hope that he can walk out of the Han family!”
"Oh?"
Old Guo was stunned. However, he quickly came to his senses and turned to look at Lu Xuan. He nodded and said,""Old Lu. You're still brilliant!"
Although Old Master Lu did not directly explain why he thought so, who was Old Guo? However, he was an influential figure who had risen from the bottom to the top of the border. When Old Master Lu said this and looked at Lu Xuan, he had already understood.
From what he knew, Old Master Lu's eldest son-in-law was definitely a genius. However, the Han family's mess had hindered the development of the Lu family's eldest son-in-law. Rather than letting his eldest son-in-law be trapped by a so-called wealthy family, it was better to let him walk out!
With Old Master Lu's connections, it was not difficult for his eldest son-in-law to rise rapidly.
And this was only one of them. Old Master Lu's true intention was to take this opportunity to keep his eldest son-in-law by his side and make him Lu Xuan's right-hand man!
When he first learned about Old Master Lu's situation, he thought that Old Master Lu had already seen through life. Even when he came to this courtyard house, he still thought so!
Only now did he understand that his former company commander was not simple at all!
"I'm already old. How can I be brilliant?”
Old Master Lu raised his wine glass and clinked it with Old Guo's again. He said earnestly,"It's all for the children!"
