Chapter 1013 Shen Mingguang Comes to Visit

As for Feng Tian and Wei Mingming, they are actually Shen Lu's friends.

Without Shen Lu as a link, she wouldn't be able to get along with the two of them.

"Do we need walkie-talkies to form a car convoy?"

Feng Tian asked curiously.

Shen Lu was speechless: "We only have a few cars, so we probably don't need them, but if you want, we can provide them."

Zhang Ziming waved his hand dismissively: "I'll cover it! Whoever goes to buy it, I'll pay for it!"

From then on, Zhang Zimo earned another nickname – "Rich Girl".

"What about the car? Should we keep our own, or buy a new one?"

Zhang Zimo was thinking of buying a new car.

Buy an off-road vehicle for mountain roads.

Shen Xuejiao and Feng Tian exchanged a glance. No wonder she's a rich girl.

You need to buy a car to go on a trip.

The others simply couldn't keep up with her pace.

"My uncle has a car, we can just borrow one."

"Don't ride with me. If we need someone to drive, you can ride with Feng Tian and Wei Mingming."

"That way we can take turns driving."

Miss Zhang waved her hand: "No need, I have a bodyguard with me, he can drive."

Nani?

Everyone stared wide-eyed, never expecting Zhang Zimo to bring bodyguards along.

Feng Tian sighed again: As expected of a young lady from a wealthy family, she even brought bodyguards.

“Then we can go with Shen Xuejiao, and Wei Mingming can take turns driving with her,” Feng Tian suggested.

Shen Xuejiao did not object.

It is unsafe for one person to drive long distances alone.

However, she looked at Shen Lu.

"Shen Lu, what about you? Aren't you coming with us?"

She originally thought Shen Lu would be with her new friend.

Now that I hear that the rich lady has a bodyguard as her driver, she definitely won't be in the same car as Shen Lu.

“I have plans. My older siblings back home are worried about me being alone, so they’re coming with me.”

She was referring to Shen Qi and Shen Jiu.

These two didn't come to Youranju with them for dinner, saying they didn't want to disturb their friends' gathering.

Instead, he went to the newly opened food court next door and ate there every day, just like a mouse falling into a rice jar.

"You have any older brothers or sisters in your hometown? I've never heard of them."

Shen Xuejiao had only heard of Shen Siqi and had even met him.

You'll see him when you leave.

Although Shen Lu planned to go out with them this time, her purpose was to act as bait.

Therefore, I will never get too close to them.

"Alright then." Shen Xuejiao didn't press for details.

She knew that Shen Lu had many new friends around her, none of whom she knew.

But that doesn't stop her and Shen Lu from growing up together.

Given the depth of their relationship, it must be different from others, right?

Shen Lu was unaware of Shen Xuejiao's ulterior motives.

However, Shen Lu was unable to take photos with Shen Xuejiao and the others in the afternoon.

Because Shen Mingguang came looking for us.

Shen Xuejiao was the first to see Shen Mingguang.

"Uncle, what brings you here?"

Shen Mingguang was also surprised to see Shen Xuejiao there.

If he hadn't run into one of Shen Lu's former classmates on his way home from get off work, he wouldn't have known that Shen Lu was doing so well.

Not only did she move into Youranju, she also owns a clothing company.

The SUNNY brand has gained popularity in the country in the past two years.

“I’m here to see—your sister.” Shen Mingguang glanced at Shen Lu.

Shen Lu smiled and called out, "Uncle Shen."

Shen Mingguang sighed inwardly; this child had truly become estranged from him.

If only I hadn't set my sights on that house of hers.

Unfortunately, hindsight is always 20/20.

He hadn't forgotten why he came here today.

"Hey hey, long time no see! How are you?"

Shen Mingguang unexpectedly called Shen Lu by her nickname, which caught Shen Lu off guard and left her speechless.

Trying to play the emotional card, huh?

"Uncle Shen, please call me by my full name. It feels strange to hear it."

Shen Mingguang's smile froze for a moment.

As expected, Shen Lu had no intention of mending their relationship.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even allow us to call them by their names.

"Okay, Lulu, you haven't been back for a long time. Why didn't you come home to visit?"

The house he and Shen Du live in now was bought by Shen Lu.

They bought a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment; one room for Shen Mingguang, one room for Shen Du, and one room for Ms. Qin.

There is no place for Lin Sisi.

Upon learning that Lin Sisi was not his child, Shen Mingguang regarded her as a thorn in his side.

If Shen Du hadn't needed her younger sister's care during that period, Shen Mingguang would have kicked her out long ago.

Once Shen Du felt a little better and hired someone to take care of him, Lin Sisi wisely moved out.

She had no choice but to move out; Shen Mingguang's gaze towards her was like that of someone carrying knives.

Actually, it was Lin Rou who did the bad thing, but Lin Sisi was obviously implicated by her mother.

No family will accept a child born from an affair.

"I'm quite busy; I have to entertain friends."

"They're all taking pictures here, so I can't leave."

Shen Lu explained with a smile.

Shen Mingguang knew, of course, that this was just an excuse.

They probably never intended to visit him.

“Your brother hasn’t recovered yet. I heard from your grandma that you’re very good at traditional Chinese medicine. Could you please go and take a look at him when you have some free time?”

Shen Lu frowned. Back then, when she wanted to perform surgery on Shen Du, Lin Rou absolutely refused to allow it.

Later, she begged her again. She and Lin Rou had irreconcilable conflicts, but she didn't really have any major grudge against Shen Du.

If you really want to put it that way, it means that Shen Du knew all along that she wasn't a daughter of the Shen family, but he didn't report it.

He was also the one who brought Lin Sisi back to the Shen family.

Shen Lu didn't hate Shen Du at all; on the contrary, she was very grateful to him.

Her family is incredibly harmonious now.

The entire village of Shenjia treated her very well, and the Sheng family was no less so.

She even found a better fiancé.

Shen Lu wondered if Shen Du truly loved her to such an unselfish degree.

"Okay, I'll go check it out when I have time."

When Shen Du learned that Shen Lu had returned, he actually wanted to see her as well.

Having grown up together since childhood, Shen Lu couldn't say she couldn't stand to see Shen Du doing well.

Shen Mingguang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had agreed.

He was afraid that Shen Lu would refuse and completely lose affection for the Shen family.

He's still a security guard, which is embarrassing to admit.

"Now that your brother has recovered, he's reached the age where he should start thinking about getting married."

Shen Mingguang suddenly spoke again.

Shen Lu was surprised: "He hasn't even fully recovered yet, and he's already dating?"

Shen Mingguang's lips twitched: "We haven't talked about it yet."

The car accident severely impacted Shen Du's daily life.

After a year, he has recovered to about 70-80%, but he still has some trouble walking.

Given Shen Du's pride, he would never date before he has fully recovered.

Moreover, he glanced at Shen Lu.

I wonder if my son still misses Shen Lu.

Shen Lu, on the other hand, didn't have any such thoughts at all.

Her fiancé is President Lu of Yuanyang Group, so it's no wonder he doesn't fancy Shen Du.

Shen Lu: "..." It's not a matter of whether I like it or not.

Who would have feelings for their own brother?

In her eyes, Shen Du was just an older brother she couldn't get along with.

“I’m worried that when he starts dating, his girlfriend will look down on his family’s financial situation.”

Seeing that Shen Lu wasn't responding, Shen Mingguang had no choice but to continue.
