69: I'll give you 5 million, just leave my daughter.

Di Xiaoba breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "Don't worry about it too much, let's hurry up and get to work."

She walked to the side of the bed in the bedroom.

She also felt that a faint fragrance permeated the room.

Di Xiaoba smelled it too.

Seeing the somewhat messy bedding, she felt even more certain.

"Xiao Ba, did you smell something?"

"What kind of smell?"

"I feel like the scent in this room is similar to Sister Xiao's fragrance."

"I didn't smell anything,"

Di Xiaoba calmly denied. "It must be because we just ate with Sister Xiao, so your nose is playing tricks on you."

"Alright."

Pan Yuyao also suspected that there might be something wrong with her nose.

She cast aside her distracting thoughts and continued sweeping and mopping, getting back to the housework... "Oh no."

Meanwhile, the two of them were driving back to the Lu Family home.

Lu Hanxiao suddenly cried out.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Yu was driving her bmw x6.

He asked without turning his head.

"The eye mask!" Lu Hanxiao said, slightly flustered. "I forgot to take it."

"It's fine, we can just grab it when we go back later."

Zhang Yu didn't think it was a big deal.

She was about to say something else when she suddenly received a picture message on her wechat phone.

Lu Hanxiao looked, and it was indeed that eye mask.

"Sister Xiao, I covered for you. Be more careful next time, okay?"

Di Xiaoba sent a playful emoji sticking its tongue out.

"Xiao Ba, Yuyao didn't discover anything, right?"

"Probably not," Di Xiaoba replied. "But do we really need to hide it from her?"

After all, the two of them already knew each other's secrets.

"Of course we do!"

Lu Hanxiao sent the message, then turned her head to glance at Zhang Yu. "And we have to hold onto our last shred of dignity. Otherwise, the Landlord would be even more smug."

That was true.

Di Xiaoba also agreed.

At the Airline Company, the three sisters were "united against a common enemy."

No man could break through their defenses.

They had even earned a lot of praise.

Yet, when it came to Zhang Yu, they surrendered so quickly. If others knew, they would be laughed to death.

Two was bad enough, but if all three... how would they even face each other in the future? The thought alone was embarrassing.

Although she felt a bit awkward, she still agreed with the decision.

"Sister Xiao, I understand. Come back soon."

Lu Hanxiao turned off her phone screen and looked ahead again.

"Is it resolved?"

Zhang Yu didn't ask further.

"Mhm."

Lu Hanxiao didn't say much either.

The two of them now shared a strong understanding.

"My house is right ahead, we're here!"

Zhang Yu looked outside the car.

Before them was a villa complex.

A signpost read: Sifeishan Golf Estate.

Zhang Yu knew this was a famous villa complex in Jiangcheng.

Sifei Mountain was named because four imperial concubines once came from this area.

There was also a golf course on the mountain.

It was only available for use by the villa owners and their distinguished guests.

The most expensive mountain-view villas here sold for up to 100 million yuan.

To some extent, this was also a wealthy district.

Its standard was no lower than that of Binjiang Mansion.

It simply had a different positioning and target audience.

Following the navigation's guidance, the car stopped in front of one of the three-story villas.

Lu Hanxiao got out of the car.

Looking at the villa before her, it felt both familiar and strange.

It had been almost a year since she last came back.

Zhang Yu also parked the car and got out.

Seeing her somewhat melancholy expression, he asked, "Why aren't you going up?"

"Eldest Miss, you're back?"

At that moment, a maid working in the villa courtyard.

Hearing the movement outside, she looked up and saw Lu Hanxiao.

She then quickly ran back inside and shouted, "Mr. Lu, Madam Lu, the Miss is back!"

The reception hall on the first floor was brightly lit.

Hearing the maid's report, a middle-aged woman rushed out.

"Hanxiao, you're finally back. Why didn't you answer all my calls! I was so worried."

Zhang Yu looked over.

The middle-aged noblewoman was about 40 years old and covered in jewels.

The jadeite she wore on her hands was worth at least 500,000 yuan per piece.

Moreover, her features possessed a unique charm refined by the passage of time.

Thanks to the expensive skincare products she used, her skin and figure were impeccably maintained.

It was clear that she was Lu Hanxiao's mother.

Lu Hanxiao was the younger version of her.

"She actually remembered to come back? Why didn't she just die outside!"

A middle-aged man's scolding voice came from inside the house.

"Oh, Old Lu, our daughter is back, so stop talking." The middle-aged noblewoman said this, reaching out to pull Lu Hanxiao into the house.

Her attention had been entirely focused on her daughter, causing her to overlook everything else.

Only then did she notice a young man standing next to Lu Hanxiao.

"Who are you?"

The middle-aged noblewoman asked.

The young man looked quite handsome and tall.

However, he looked like he had just graduated from university.

He seemed slightly younger than her daughter, so she couldn't figure out his identity.

"Mom, let me introduce you. This is the boyfriend I'm dating."

Lu Hanxiao said this expressionlessly.

"Hanxiao, why... sigh... let's go inside and talk."

The middle-aged noblewoman was afraid that her daughter, having finally returned, would run off again.

She said to Zhang Yu, "You come in too."

The three of them walked into the first-floor reception hall.

The maid poured several cups of tea.

In the living room, a middle-aged man sat in the center of the sofa.

This was the Lu Family Head, Lu Zhenhua.

He looked up and saw Lu Hanxiao and Zhang Yu.

His face darkened again: "Lu Hanxiao, I told you to come back, why did you bring an unrelated person with you?"

"He is not an unrelated person."

Lu Hanxiao smiled and then said, "Dad, Mom, I came back just to tell you both. I already have a partner, so you don't need to bother setting up blind dates for me anymore."

"Nonsense!"

Lu Zhenhua's face flushed red. "I am your father! Your marriage must be decided by your parents. Do you think you can fool us by randomly finding some disreputable person?"

"Mr. Lu, you've got that wrong."

Zhang Yu laughed, "My name is Zhang Yu, I have a name and a lineage. I am Lu Hanxiao's man, and I'm not deceiving you."

Speaking of which, the only thing missing from their relationship now was a formal announcement.

"You two, you actually...?"

Lu Zhenhua was also a man, so he naturally understood what Zhang Yu meant.

Looking again at Lu Hanxiao's eyes.

He estimated that the raw rice had long since been cooked into porridge, and the soybeans ground into soy milk.

His blood pressure spiked instantly.

"Dad, if there's nothing else, we'll be leaving."

Lu Hanxiao said.

"Leave?"

Lu Zhenhua stood up.

"I told you to come back for a blind date. You can't leave."

Then, he turned to Zhang Yu and said, "Zhang Yu, you must know the status of my Lu Family. You are still too young; you will find your true love later."

As he spoke, he gestured for the Old Butler to come forward and take a card from his hand.

He handed it to Zhang Yu.

"Zhang Yu, you are young and can take your time looking, but my daughter is already 28 and cannot afford to waste any more time. Here is 5 million yuan, take it and leave."
