“I’m sorry, Grandpa.” Lu Qing lowered his head and apologized.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You should learn from Third Young Master Zhuang. Don’t always be like a child who can’t grow up. I can’t keep reminding you about it. You have to rely on yourself in the future,” Old Master Lu said earnestly.

“I understand.” Lu Qing replied.

“Forget it.” Old Master Lu didn’t want to say too much. “Let’s go back for dinner.”

Lu Qing followed behind his grandfather without a word. He admitted that he could not compare to Zhuang Liu now, but Zhuang Liu was older than him. He still had a chance to surpass Zhuang Liu. Thinking of this, Lu Qing felt much better.

In the private room of Clear Stream Pavilion, Tan Rou picked up a piece of meat and gave it to Zhuang Liu. “Third Brother, you should eat more.”

Zhuang Liu gladly accepted. “You should have some too.” He picked up some food for Tan Rou.

“Didn’t you just go to the Capital? Why are you back so soon? And Auntie came back with you?” Tan Rou asked.

“It’s not just my mom. My dad is here too. When I went back this time, I transferred him here,” Zhuang Liu said.

Although Zhuang Liu said it easily, Tan Rou could guess that he must have spent a lot of effort doing so. From Uncle Bai’s description earlier, he knew that their family’s matters were not simple. Zhuang Liu was able to get his father out of the heavy encirclement which meant that he must have also encountered a lot of trouble doing so.

“It’s good to be transferred over. It’s convenient for treatment.” Tan Rou still remembered that she had to treat her father’s illness. She was originally planning to go to the Capital, but now it seemed that she didn’t have to go so far. “Let me know when would be a good time to visit him. I would like to take a good look at his condition too.”

Zhuang Liu was naturally very happy to hear that she was so concerned about his family, but he couldn’t do that now. He had just transferred his father over, and those people in the Capital wouldn’t easily withdraw their spies. He had to wait until it was 100% safe before he could let Tan Rou appear beside his father. Otherwise, he would be harming Tan Rou.

“It isn’t the right time yet. You would have to wait until I’ve arranged everything before you go over,” Zhuang Liu said.

Tan Rou knew that Zhuang Liu had his own considerations. “Alright, I’ll listen to your arrangements.”

Zhuang Liu was afraid that Tan Rou would think too much, so he explained to her, “Actually, I’m just worried that they’ll harm you. My leg hasn’t recovered yet, so I can’t fight them. Father is still unconscious, and my strength hasn’t reached the level where I can protect all of you at the same time. I don’t want to take this risk.”

“I know, 1 know everything.” Tan Rou smiled gently. “I understand the Third Brother’s situation. If there’s anything I can help with, just let me know.”

How could Zhuang Liu ask her for help? She was still a student. The most important thing was to study in school and not get involved in their family’s affairs.

“All, right.” Tan Rou then remembered. “Thank you for what happened to the Tan family.”

“Nothing much,” Zhuang Liu replied. “I just asked Xiao Mo to find some gossip about Tan Song.” However, he’s quite an interesting person. He cheated on his wife but claimed otherwise.”

“He doesn’t think that those women who he paid for are considered lovers.” Tan Rou said disdainfully. “Besides, he’s really smart. He finds different people every time.”

“Indeed. Xiao Mo mentioned this when he was looking for the photos.” Zhuang Liu hated this kind of man who was unfaithful to his marriage. “It’s a pity that there are too few photos and insufficient evidence. We can’t give Tan Song a fatal blow.”

“It’s fine. Finding out that his company evaded taxes is enough for him to go to jail. I have to thank you for this,” Tan Rou said.

However, Zhuang Liu denied the credit. “I didn’t do this. Although we found evidence of Tan Song’s falsified accounts, we haven’t had the time to release it.”

“Eh, didn’t you make it?” Tan Rou was a little surprised. “Then who did it?”

“Maybe Tan Song offended someone he shouldn’t have offended,” Zhuang Liu sneered.

Tan Rou had a guess in her heart. “Well, that could have been the case too.”

After dinner, Zhuang Liu went back to Tan Rou’s house. He didn’t drive his ordinary car under Xiao Mo’s name today, so he couldn’t send Tan Rou into the neighborhood and could only park outside.

“There’s no need for you to come out of the car.” Tan Rou stopped Zhuang Liu. “You’ve been with me for so long. I’m sure you’ve delayed a lot of your work. Hurry up and go back!”

Zhuang Liu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Rourou, why do you keep asking me to go to work?”

Tan Rou thought for a moment. “A working man is very attractive, so Third Brother Zhuang, hurry up and go back to work!”

Zhuang Liu understood that Tan Rou was only being considerate, so he didn’t insist. “Okay, see you next time.”

Tan Rou waved her hand. “See you next time.”

After Tan Rou’s back disappeared, Zhuang Liu asked Xiao Mo to drive away..
