Chapter 164 – You were the one that sent me that jade bracelet, right? (2)

Outsiders might find nothing wrong with this. They would just think Lu Shaoyan had a big circle of friends. It didn’t matter since he didn’t attend to proper duties. However, although Lu Shaoyan had been abroad for several years and only kept in touch with his friends through phone calls and video calls, his friendships remained as close as before. As a person that was able to keep his temper for so long, it was no wonder that he was able to keep a low profile for several years and land the fatal blow on Lu Beichuan.

In the living room, Old Master Lu was sitting on the couch with a straight back and with both hands on his cane.. His face showed that he was trying to suppress his happiness..

“Old Master, Second Master is back.”

Old Master Lu said in a deep voice, “What are you standing around for?! Hurry up, come in!”

Although these words were sharp, anyone could hear the affection in his voice. Having gained this son at an old age, it was only normally that Old Master Lu would want to spoil him.

Lu Shaoyan walked inside. With a mischievous grin, he walked to Old Master Lu, knelt down, and touched the ground with his forehead three times. “Dad, I’m back.”

Old Master Lu had wanted to give Lu Shaoyan a beating with his cane. But as soon as he saw his son’s smiling face, he couldn’t bear to. He sighed and said, “You haven’t sent me any news for the past several years. Were you trying to worry me to death?!”

“Dad, don’t be angry. Haven’t I come back? I’m perfectly fine.”

“I thought you were waiting until I died to come back!”

Those words were out of line. The old butler hastily tried to reassure and persuade Old Master Lu in a low voice.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Old Master Lu wasn’t that angry. He was just worried. And yet, he stubbornly refused to say that.

“Get up.”

Lu Shaoyan stood up with a smile.

Old Master Lu was looking at his son with an affectionate gaze when he suddenly caught sight of Lin Zhan standing behind Lu Shaoyan. Furrowing his brow, he asked, “Why is he...”

Lu Shaoyan hastily went over to Old Master Lu’s side and whispered several sentences in his ear. Old Master Lu’s expression changed a lot as he listened as if he had heard something exceedingly awful. Finally, after Lu Shaoyan was done whispering, he asked in a sunken voice, “Really?”

Lu Shaoyan solemnly nodded.

As a result, the furrow between Old Master Lu’s brows deepened. He carefully looked at Lin Zhan from top to bottom. His gaze held incredulity.

“He can stay for now.”

Once Old Master Lu said those words, Lin Zhan would naturally be allowed to stay.

“I wasn’t able to come back when Beichuan got married or when he had a kid. Now that I’m back, as his uncle, I have to do something for that.” He took a black box from a servant that had been following behind him. He handed it to Ye Zhen. “Please take my meager gift.”

Ye Zhen didn’t act coy. She magnanimously took the box. Smiling, she said, “Thank you, uncle.”

“Open it and see if you like it.”

Ye Zhen opened the box. There was a watch inside it. It didn’t have an expensive brand’s logo or a complicated design. Still, the workmanship was exquisite. Since this was a gift from Lu Shaoyan, it must have been expensive.

“... This watch must have been very expensive, right?” Ye Zhen kept her smile as she said, “Thank you uncle for your thoughtfulness.

“It’s nothing as long as you like it.”

Ye Zhen truly didn’t like this gift one bit.

If her guess was right, this watch was custom-made with a GPS tracker secretly installed inside of it. No matter where she went, as long as she was wearing this watch, he would be able to find her location.

The feeling of being monitored really wasn’t very good.

“Where’s my great-nephew?” Lu Shaoyan smiled again as he said, “I’m not even 30 yet and I have a great-nephew. How strange and rare.”

Mother Lu brought Zhouzhou over. She didn’t have much negative feelings towards this flippant and glib-tongue brother-in-law. They had only interacted for a short period of a few years before he went abroad, so she didn’t have much of an impression of him.

Lu Shaoyan held Zhouzhou in his arms. Zhouzhou stared at him with his big black eyes. He didn’t cry or smile. He was a quiet and well-behaved baby.

“Zhouzhou, I’m your...” Lu Shaoyan furrowed his brow. “Great-uncle... this sounds...”

He shivered. “I’ll introduce myself to you when you grow up.”

As Ye Zhen watched from the side, her hands felt cold, but her palms were sweaty.
