However, when the whole family gathered together, they were able to dispel the cold of the winter. This was something that elder Lu had not expected.

He had thought that the Xia family would be bigger and more luxurious than his, but he didn't expect that they were just ordinary people.

Even his pampered and overbearing grandson, Lu xiuche, could play chess now. He treated the Xia family like his own home. If he didn't know, he would have thought that Lu xiuche was the Xia family's biological grandson.

Old man Lu couldn't help but feel a little angry. No matter what, this xiaoche was still a descendant of the Lu family. Even in the Xia family, he should always remember that his surname was Lu.

Also, this family really didn't take him seriously. They invited him into the house, but no one actually paid him any attention?

Even his grandson didn't look up.

Master Xia caught sight of him and hurriedly stood up. He walked up to elder Lu and extended his hand, smiling."Brother Lu, we've met once in our early years. Back then, we were both in the prime of our lives. But it's been so many years since we last met. It's all a waste to meet again. I wonder if you still remember."

When Lu xiuche saw elder Lu, he hesitated for a moment before standing up. However, he did not step forward.

After all, elder Lu had been in the political scene for many years. He had spent most of his life fighting with others and was extremely shrewd. Even if his heart was burning with anger, he would not show it on his face.

Elder Lu hurriedly held master Xia's hand, a smile on his face as if he was reminiscing the past."Of course I remember. Your brother's appearance back then, I have a deep memory of it."

Both old master Lu and old master Xia were old foxes in the political scene. Although they basically had no interaction with each other, they could call each other brothers the moment they opened their mouths, instantly pulling their relationship closer.

Back then, master Xia was also in the government, but his wife's health collapsed quickly after his daughter was born. He moved to Rong city and became a local executive. He did not participate in the internal strife and did not return to the capital to take up a position.

Back then, many people had said that even though the Xia family was rich, there was an 80% chance that they would be ruined. In the end, who would have thought that Xia Anlan would be born in this family?

After old master Xia retired, Xia Anlan rose rapidly as if he was cheating. He left those who were competing with him far behind.

"I really didn't expect you to visit me in person today," master Xia said."I apologize for not coming out to welcome you. Please don't take offense."

"You're too kind, too kind. Little brother, your family has done so much for our Lu family. No matter what, we have to come and thank you in person." Elder Lu snorted coldly in his heart. Lu Xiangdong had made it clear that he was here, but even so, not a single person from the Xia family had left. They even did not welcome him.

"You're too kind, old brother,"master Xia replied with a smile.

He introduced his family to old Lu, first old Madam Xia, then introduced qingsi and nie qiuping solemnly, before finally pulling you Yi over.

"This is my useless son-in-law, you Yi. Greetings, Uncle Lu."

"Uncle Lu," you Yi smiled,"I've heard so much about you."

Old Lu had guessed you Yi's identity the moment he entered the room. He had been observing you Yi silently for a long time.

He smiled."So you're you Yi. I've been looking forward to meeting you for a long time. I heard from my son that xiaoche's safety is all thanks to you, my dear nephew. I thank you for your kindness. If you need anything from the Lu family in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
