Just then, the waiter came over and served Lu Fenglin his coffee.
He thanked the waiter in a gentlemanly manner.
One could hardly tell that he had been threatening someone just a moment ago.
Xu Qingqing secretly remained on high alert. People like him were the most terrifying, sick and perverted. Once he went crazy, no one could do anything to stop him.
"Don't worry. Since I've promised you, I won't go back on my word."
"That's good then."
After that, neither of them brought up the matter of Lu Chuanbai again. Lu Fenglin put away those materials as if nothing had happened before.
As they chatted, Lu Fenglin found that Xu Qingqing really knew a great deal of things and had many viewpoints different from others. This gradually made him start to appreciate her.
Finally, he said with a bit of regret, "Miss Xu, if you hadn't had a child with Lu Chuanbai, I would really like to marry you."
Xu Qingqing's heart was pounding. She didn't know how to respond.
She didn't want to attract the attention of this pervert Lu Fenglin at all.
"Forget it. It's still too early to think about these things. For someone of my status, I may not be the one to decide who I'll marry in the future."
Having said that, he got up and waved to Xu Qingqing. "I have other things to attend to. I'll accompany Miss Xu to here today."
After Lu Fenglin left, Xu Qingqing didn't leave immediately. Instead, she took out her phone and started to search for the development history of the Lu Group in recent years.
She was speculating in her mind what kind of materials Lu Fenglin had in his hands that could send Lu Chuanbai to jail.
As she was searching like this, an hour passed before she knew it.
It wasn't until Xu An'an called that she realized she had been out for a long time.
"Mummy, Grandpa and Grandma are back. They're all waiting for you. Mummy, come home quickly. Uncle said you won the first place. Where are you, Mummy?"
Hearing her daughter's sweet and waxy voice, all of Xu Qingqing's worries drifted away.
No matter what would happen in the future, she still had her family by her side. That was enough.
Thinking like this, she got up, took confident steps, hailed a taxi and went straight home.
The Xu Family Villa.
Looking at all kinds of famous brand cars parked outside the door, Xu Qingqing thought for a moment that she had gone to the wrong house.
After opening the door and entering the hall, she heard the lively chatter inside.
It turned out that Uncle Xu's family had come.
Xu Qingqing's arrival attracted everyone's attention in the hall.
Uncle Xu saw Xu Qingqing and stood up excitedly. He sized her up from left to right. "Child, you've finally come back home. Do you know how worried I've been about you all these years?"
Xu Qingqing remembered that Uncle Xu had always doted on her when she was a child. He must have been worried about her when she left silently back then.
She bit her lips guiltily. "I'm sorry, Uncle. I made you worry."
Aunt Xu also came over, took Xu Qingqing's hand and smiled to smooth things over. "Alright, alright. Now that Qingqing is back and has brought back two such lovely children, we should be happy for her."
Her cousin Xu Jingyan also nodded at Xu Qingqing as a greeting.
Xu Jingyan was a very quiet girl, so quiet that she seemed a bit autistic.
Different from the hobbies of other family members, she liked writing and painting very much. She often locked herself up and sometimes even spaced out for half a day.
In the eyes of others, Xu Jingyan's personality was a bit withdrawn and strange.
However, Xu Qingqing had always had a good impression of her cousin. When she fell down as a child, it was her cousin who took care of her all the way.
Although her cousin didn't talk much, she was extremely kind - hearted.
So Xu Qingqing walked directly in front of Xu Jingyan and talked to her. "Sister Jingyan, I heard that your paintings are very popular now. I must have a good appreciation of them when I get the chance."
Xu Jingyan blushed slightly. "No, it's just people's flattery. Actually, they're just so - so."
Xu Qingqing smiled. Looking at such a gentle and serene cousin, her mood also improved.
This time, Xu An'an and Xu Yiyi didn't rush over to hug her directly because the two children were being surrounded by several elders at the moment.
Apart from Uncle Xu's family who doted on her, the Third Uncle's family, who had a rather ordinary relationship with their family, also came this time.
The Third Uncle was a very assertive person. He was a bit unscrupulous in doing things and always had disagreements with Father Xu and Uncle Xu. Gradually, the Third Uncle's family rarely took the initiative to get close to the other two families.
Xu Qingqing didn't expect them to come today.
The Third Aunt winked at her daughter. Only then did Xu Luo, who was three years younger than Xu Qingqing, come to Xu Qingqing reluctantly.
She tugged at the corner of her mouth. "Sister Qingqing, you've brought glory to the family as soon as you returned to the country. I heard that you've won the first place in the copying competition and even many masters recognize you."
"Coincidentally, I'm going to take the postgraduate entrance examination of Jiang University this year. It's also the archaeology department. Can you help me find some connections? You know so many people. This should be a piece of cake for you, right?"
Before Xu Qingqing could say anything, Xu Luo had already put a high - sounding hat on her.
At this moment, if Xu Qingqing agreed, it seemed like something she should do. If she didn't agree, it would seem as if she was incompetent.
Uncle Xu was a bit displeased when he heard this. He stared at the Third Uncle. "Third, you must have taught the child to say this. How old is she now? She already wants to rely on connections everywhere. When she's still a student, why did you instill so many things in her prematurely?"
"Moreover, it's true that interpersonal relationships need to be maintained. But our Xu family is a well - known family. Now that Qingqing has just returned to the country, even though she won the first place in the copying competition, it doesn't mean that she has a very high status."
"You ask her to contact the university professors as soon as you open your mouth. Even if the professors originally admired Qingqing, if you use her like this to pull favors, their good impression of her will be reduced."
The Third Uncle was not happy when he heard this and immediately retorted. "Brother, you're wrong. I didn't intend to rely entirely on Qingqing's connections to get my Luor'er into the postgraduate program."
"First of all, there's no problem with Luor'er passing the preliminary examination. Of course, one should find connections during the re - examination. It's stupid not to find connections if you have them."
"Moreover, I just want Qingqing to help introduce Luor'er so that the professors can take a look at Luor'er's level in advance. In this way, they can form a good first impression. As for whether they want Luor'er or not, it still depends on the professors' choice."
"We won't do anything embarrassing to others, let alone embarrass Qingqing."
The Third Uncle spoke plausibly, looking as if he was very reasonable.
Xu Luo felt a bit embarrassed at this moment.
She was always flattered at school.
