“Reliable, why wouldn’t it be reliable?”
Lu Hai said with a smile to reassure her, “They have officially confirmed their relationship.”
“From Mingyu’s tone, their relationship is quite good right now.”
“Really?” Zheng Qing’s worries were immediately replaced by immense surprise.
“Oh my, this is wonderful news!”
She excitedly grabbed her husband Lu Qi’s arm, “Old Lu, did you hear that?”
“Our Mingyu is in a relationship!”
Although Lu Qi still kept a straight face,
the uncontrollable smile at the corner of his mouth already betrayed his inner joy.
Lu Hai’s wife also started to smile, “Brother and Sister-in-law, you can finally rest assured this time.”
“Mingyu, this iron tree, is finally going to bloom.”
Zheng Qing nodded repeatedly, eagerly pressing Lu Hai:
“Second Brother, what does that girl do?”
“What does she look like? Is her character good?”
A series of questions represented a mother’s most genuine concern.
Lu Hai had long anticipated her questions and answered with a smile: “Sister-in-law, don’t worry.”
“Don’t we trust Mingyu’s judgment?”
“I saw that girl once; she’s beautiful and very tall.”
He deliberately concealed Gu Lina Zha’s identity and profession.
He knew that with the Old Man’s traditional views,
it would probably be difficult for him to accept a celebrity as his granddaughter-in-law.
This matter still needed to proceed gradually, and Mingyu himself had to find an opportunity to tell them.
As expected, upon hearing Lu Hai’s words, the smile on Zheng Qing’s face became even brighter.
“It’s good that she’s pretty, and it’s good that she’s tall.”
“Our future grandson will definitely not be bad either.”
She had already begun to imagine their future life.
Everyone in the room was immersed in joy.
Only Old Man Lu Wei remained calm.
His sharp gaze looked at his second son, Lu Hai.
“Have you investigated that girl’s family background?”
When the Old Man spoke, the joyful atmosphere in the dining room immediately subsided quite a bit.
The smile on Lu Hai’s face also became somewhat helpless.
“Dad, I mentioned this to you.”
“But you know Mingyu’s temper; he’s very opinionated.”
“If we investigate the girl behind his back,”
“if he finds out, he’ll definitely get angry.”
“He’ll definitely think it’s disrespectful to him and the girl.”
Old Man Lu Wei fell into contemplation after listening.
He knew his second son had a point.
His grandson had grown up and had his own ideas.
Especially in private matters like relationships, the family indeed shouldn't interfere too much.
Forcing an investigation might backfire and affect the relationship between them and their grandson.
“Hmm…” The Old Man pondered for a long time, finally nodding.
“You’re right. Let the young people handle their own affairs.”
“As long as the girl has a clean background, good character, and truly treats Mingyu well,”
“our Lu family isn’t one of those who value family status.”
Hearing the Old Man loosen up, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Zheng Qing was even more beaming with joy, feeling as if a heavy stone had finally been lifted from her heart.
Lu Wei picked up his teacup, gently blew on the hot steam, and changed the subject.
“By the way, some time ago, I heard that the Military Region and the TV station are collaborating on some variety show?”
Lu Hai immediately replied: “Yes, Dad, there is such a thing.”
Lu Wei put down his teacup, looked at him, and asked: “I heard that they are also selecting people from various Special Operations Teams to participate?”
“What exactly is the nature of this program?”
“Why do they need Special Forces soldiers to participate?”
Lu Hai explained: “Dad, don’t worry, the meaning of this program is good.”
“It’s mainly for recruitment publicity, to showcase the demeanor of our new era soldiers.”
“To let more aspiring young people understand the military and be willing to join the army and serve the country.”
“After comprehensive consideration by the superior leaders,”
“it was finally decided to let Mingyu’s Megakaryocyte Special Operations Group participate as representatives.”
Lu Wei pondered for a moment after listening, then said nothing more.
After dinner, Lu Wei returned to his room to rest.
The joyful atmosphere in the dining room, which had arisen because Lu Mingyu was in a relationship, had not completely dissipated.
Zheng Qing, while clearing the dishes, thoughtfully said to her husband Lu Qi beside her.
“Old Lu, I’ve been thinking, the girl Mingyu found shouldn’t be from the military.”
Lu Qi wiped the table, looked up at her words: “How so?”
“Think about it, if she were a soldier, could Second Brother’s mouth keep it a secret?”
Zheng Qing’s tone was very certain.
“He would have told us everything in detail long ago.”
“He would even specifically emphasize which unit she was from and what her military rank was.”
“But his evasive manner just now clearly shows he has something to hide and dares not say too much.”
Lu Qi nodded, feeling that his wife’s analysis made sense.
He put down the rag, looked at Zheng Qing, his expression a little more serious.
“So, what are your thoughts?”
“If she really isn’t a soldier, what’s your take?”
Zheng Qing’s movements stopped. She turned around and looked at Lu Qi seriously.
“What’s my take?”
She chuckled softly, her smile full of a mother’s tenderness.
“As long as our son likes her, as long as that girl truly treats our Mingyu well,”
“what does her identity matter, or whether she’s a soldier?”
“Our Mingyu, that child, has never given us any trouble since he was little.”
“Only this matter of relationships has always been a big headache.”
“Now that he’s finally opened up and found someone he likes,”
“how can we, as parents, go and cause him trouble?”
“His happiness is his own.”
“As long as he feels happy, I’ll be happier than anything.”
Hearing his wife’s words, Lu Qi’s tense face also softened.
“You’re right.”
He agreed: “Children and grandchildren have their own fortunes; we shouldn’t meddle too much.”
Just then, Lu Hai, who hadn’t said much, stood up.
“Big Brother, Big Sister-in-law, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back first.”
He felt that he had revealed enough information for today.
It was better to let Mingyu handle the rest himself.
“Stop right there!”
Lu Qi suddenly spoke, calling out to Lu Hai, who was about to leave.
Lu Hai paused, turned around, and looked a bit confused.
“Big Brother, something else?”
Lu Qi’s gaze was sharp, staring directly at his younger brother.
“Second Brother, between us brothers, let’s not hide things.”
“I understand that you didn’t dare to say some things at the dinner table in front of Dad today.”
“But now that Dad has gone back to his room, it’s just the three of us here.”
“Tell me the truth, what exactly is the identity of the girl Mingyu found?”
Lu Hai’s expression immediately became a bit difficult.
He stammered, “Big Brother, this…”
“This matter is really quite special.”
“Mingyu specifically told me not to say anything yet; I’ve already told you more than enough.”
“Special identity?” Lu Qi’s brows furrowed even more. “How is it special?”
He took a step forward, his tone carrying an undeniable authority.
“Lu Hai, I’m not discussing this with you.”
“You must make it clear to me today!”
“Who exactly is she?”
“If her background is unclear, or if there are any problems,”
“this matter must be stopped now; it absolutely cannot develop further!”
