On this day, Mu Qian met Lu Yuan at noon, but unexpectedly, she met Meng Linsheng again in the afternoon.

Meng Linsheng suddenly appeared in the Huatang. When he saw him, Mu Qian was very surprised, "Are you in China? Why didn't you see you at your niece's engagement banquet last night?"

When Meng Linsheng heard this, he just smiled slightly, "I just returned to China today."

"Oh?" Mu Qian raised his eyebrows slightly, "Your niece was engaged yesterday, but you returned to China today. Was it intentional or accident?"

Meng Linsheng still just smiled faintly, "No one will mind whether I attend the Lu family's banquet or not, so I prefer to spend my time doing my own thing. I have prepared a gift for you."

"Give it to me?" Mu Qian was puzzled, "Why should I give me a gift?"

"You investigated the Qin family's case so thoroughly, and directly eradicated a criminal group, calmed down the resentment for my friends and countless people who died in vain, but were unwilling to accept the position I provided for you." Meng Linsheng said, "Then I can only give you a small gift to express my feelings."

After Meng Linsheng finished speaking, he made a "please" action.

"You have paid enough rewards and bonuses and don't owe me anything."

Mu Qian said while following him to the door of the painting hall.

Meng Linsheng's assistant happened to walk in with an item. Mu Qian looked at the shape and seemed to be a painting.

"I accidentally encountered this painting abroad. I had no other idea at that time, so I thought I would bring it back and give it to you." Meng Linsheng said.

Mu Qian stepped forward and opened the packaging oil paper on the picture frame with his own hands, and couldn't help but be stunned.

It turned out to be Mu Huaian's painting. Mu Qian recognized such brushstrokes and style at a glance, but Mu Qian had never seen this jasmine flower picture before.

"This..." Mu Qian stared at the painting in front of him for a long time before speaking, "This should be my father's early painting, and I have never seen it."

Meng Linsheng smiled faintly when he heard this, "So, I didn't pick the wrong gift."

Upon hearing this, Mu Qian laughed slowly, and then stood up, "Thank you, I like this gift very much."

After saying that, Mu Qian put away the painting and invited Meng Linsheng to sit upstairs.

When he entered Mu Qian's office, before he could close the documents on Mu Qian's desk, Meng Linsheng sat down, he could see the words "Lu Family" on one of the pages of the information at a glance.

Mu Qian found out that he saw it, but he didn't hide it, just smiled at him.

"Are you still checking the Lu family?" Meng Linsheng didn't pretend and asked straight to the point.

Mu Qian nodded, "Why not investigate? The demise of Sha Yunping's criminal group does not mean the end. There are other evil people behind it."

After hearing this, Meng Linsheng looked at her quietly, suddenly nodded slowly, and laughed, "It proved that I did not see you wrongly."

Mu Qian suddenly thought of something, "You should know a lot about the Lu family over the years, right?"

Meng Linsheng heard this, thought for a moment, and smiled again: "I didn't expect that we would stand on the same front again so soon. Although you didn't work for me, there seemed to be no difference."

"Yes." Mu Qian said, "I will have more time to lend you the people under you in the future."

"As long as you need it, all the resources on my side will be used for you." Meng Linsheng replied.

After Mu Qian looked at him for a while, he pushed the information on the desktop to him, "Then now, please introduce the Lu family to me."

The Lu family has only quickly emerged in the public's sight in recent years. Although there are uncommon things in secret, they are doing legitimate business on the surface, and they have grown rapidly with real estate and have successfully become one of the top ten companies in Tongcheng.

All of this is almost entirely attributed to Lu Yuchuan, the second master of the Lu family.

Lu Yuchuan is gentle on the surface and treats people kindly, but in fact he has a sharp style and acts ruthlessly, and he will never be merciless to his opponents.

Everyone in the Lu family followed Lu and Chuanma.

Lu Yushan, the eldest son of the Lu family, has been mediocre all his life and withdrew from the group early;

The third son of the Lu family, Lu and Jiang, are responsible for the legal affairs of the group. They are steady, scheming, and are equally vicious;

Lu Yutao, the four sons of the Lu family, is also Lu Tang's father, a playboy. He often causes trouble. However, relying on the support of Lu's family, he is also a domineering character.

When Mu Qian heard this, he sneered, "A father must be like a daughter."

After hearing this, Meng Linsheng just smiled faintly and refused to comment.

Mu Qian suddenly remembered something again and looked up at him, "Are you familiar with this person Lu Yuan?"

"Lu Yuchuan's daughter?" Meng Linsheng said slowly, "I have only seen it a few times occasionally. She is a girl who doesn't like to communicate with people very much."

“That’s all?”

Meng Linsheng thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered something again, "She was not born by Lu Yuchuan's wife."

Mu Qian's eyes couldn't help but change slightly, "In other words, she is an illegitimate daughter?"

Meng Linsheng nodded, "Lu Yuchuan's wife Cheng Huiru has never given birth to a child after entering the door. Five months later, Lu Yuan was brought back. She was already half a year old at that time."

Mu Qian stroked the timeline and couldn't help but sneer, "In other words, while Lu Yuchuan was preparing for the wedding with his wife, he gave birth to another woman outside, and in the end he took the child home and handed it over to his wife to raise...ha."

No wonder Lu Yuan said such words when she mentioned her parents this morning. I think Lu and Chuan had a very different relationship with his wife.

"Why did you suddenly ask about her?" Meng Linsheng asked.

Mu Qian shrugged slowly, "She is interested in me, and naturally I am interested in her."

Meng Linsheng heard this and reminded her: "Everyone in the Lu family has his own thoughts, so you must be alert."

Mu Qian rubbed his ears and chuckled, "Which family is not? I'm not surprised."

When she chatted with Meng Linsheng, she unknowingly forgot about time.

When Mu Qian sensed the passage of time, it was already dark.

Meng Linsheng looked at the time and then asked her: "Do you want to have supper together?"

Mu Qian smiled, "I'll ask you. Thank you for the information you provided to me and the painting."

Meng Linsheng happily agreed.

The two of them got downstairs together. The moment they got in the car and left, Huo Jinxi's car stopped steadily at the entrance of the Huatang.

In front, in the car that had just left, the figures in the rear row were still vaguely visible.

"Mr. Huo, it seems that my wife has just left in someone else's car." The driver said, "Do you want to give your wife a phone call?"

Huo Jinxi sat in the extremely dim light, staring at the car that was gradually circulating in the traffic and disappeared. After a long time, he only said two words lightly: "No."

...

The supper between Mu Qian and Meng Linsheng was eaten in a Cantonese restaurant. I chose a private room that was undisturbed. Most of the meal was spent talking about the Lu family.

The blessing of Meng Linsheng saved Mu Qian a lot of time to verify it one by one, so Mu Qian was very excited after this meal.

After dinner, Meng Linsheng proposed to send her home, but Mu Qian politely declined.

"I have a driver, and it's safe to go home." Mu Qian said, "The paparazzi these days are good at making up stories. I am a person who reports news, and I don't like to be the protagonist of the news."

Meng Linsheng heard this and chuckled slowly, "It actually made you worry about this problem. It seems that my job was not done well."

Mu Qian remembered his identity as a media tycoon and couldn't help laughing, "Oh, I forgot that you are a person with a say in this industry. I'm really worried... But I won't bother you today. You just came back from abroad. Go back early to rest. See you next day."

Meng Linsheng no longer insisted on anything, and watched Mu Qian get in the car and leave, and he got in the car.

The car slowly drove towards his apartment in Tongcheng. Meng Linsheng lowered the car window and lit a cigarette for himself.

The assistant sitting in the passenger seat suddenly turned around and looked at him, "It seems that Mrs. Huo and Mr. Meng are quite close."

Meng Linsheng looked at the night view outside the window. After hearing this, he was quiet for a moment, then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "It's a pity that she is Mrs. Huo."

It's a pity.
