Secretary Lu's expression softened the moment he saw Lu Mingjun: "Oh, look at this girl's spirit. I haven't seen her for half a year. She has become prettier!"

Secretary Yao carefully looked at Lu Mingjun from head to toe after hearing this: Well, very good! He didn't notice the praise from the leader at all!

In Secretary Xiao Yao's opinion, Lawyer Lu is at best a pretty lady, but a little short of being beautiful.

But what can he do now that his leader has said so?

I could only squint my eyes and laugh: "The leader is right, when I first saw her, I thought she was a fairy from somewhere!"

Lu Mingjun: Haha, do you want to listen to this? Is this really a compliment to me?

However, Lin Jianying did not think so. He said with pride, "Of course, our emperor is definitely good-looking!"

Lu Mingjun: I can’t laugh anymore.

Fortunately, Secretary Lu did not plan to stand at the door for long and took the lead into the villa.

"Girl, did you buy this house yourself? It's well decorated, and it smells like books. It suits you!" Secretary Lu said as he walked and looked around, "Jianying, you really found a treasure!"

Lin Jianying nodded repeatedly and agreed: "That's right, I think that I must have accumulated a lot of virtue in my previous life to be able to find a wise ruler!"

Secretary Lu was very pleased, and then sat down on the sofa, and said to Lu Mingjun: "I am very satisfied with the son-in-law you chose! When you plan to get married, tell me in advance. Just call me uncle, and I will see you off to marry!"

Secretary Lu: What your father couldn't do, I, your old friend, will do for him. Only when I see him in the underworld, I can stand up straight!

However, Secretary Lu's words surprised everyone present, especially Lin Jianying and Lu Mingjun.

Lin Jianying was puzzled. If it was just a matter of liking each other, the fact that he personally visited Secretary Lu was already a great honor for someone of Secretary Lu's status.

But what does "sending a bride" mean? It means that he, as the provincial party secretary, will serve as the bride's parent and provide shelter for the young couple!

Thinking of this, Lin Jianying looked at Secretary Lu and Lu Mingjun with a puzzled look, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: Could it be that the man in front of me is Mingjun's biological father?

Secretary Lu: What are you thinking about!

Secretary Lu's words surprised Lu Mingjun even more: "Uncle Lu, why are you so nice to me?"

If you find it strange, just ask openly.

Secretary Lu looked at Lu Mingjun's clear eyes, and his heart softened. He sighed, and a look of reminiscence appeared on his face.

"Why else? I think you're just my type!" Secretary Lu didn't tell the truth. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "I've been in meetings all day. I'm a little hungry. How about we have dinner?"

Lu Mingjun felt that things were not that simple, but considering that everyone was still hungry, he said, "Then let's eat!"

They moved to the dining room, where Aunt Shen had already brought the food.

"When I heard that you were coming to dinner, Jianying was ready to show off his cooking skills and let you taste his cooking. But he was busy in a meeting, so there was no chance!" Lu Mingjun said as he served soup to Secretary Lu, "Well, I don't have anything else to do this afternoon. I made this old duck soup and pineapple beef. Please try it!"

Secretary Lu was surprised when he heard this: "Oh? Our Mingjun can cook? I must try it!"

As he spoke, he took the soup handed over by Lu Mingjun, blew it gently, and then took a sip. Suddenly, a mellow aroma of duck soup filled his mouth, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Good soup! This soup is really tasty."

Then, he picked up a piece of pineapple and beef and put it in his mouth. The sweet and sour pineapple and the tender beef blended perfectly, with rich taste layers, which made him nod and praise again: "This dish is also very creative and tastes very good."

Lu Mingjun couldn't help feeling very satisfied when she heard Secretary Lu's praise. She smiled and said to Secretary Lu: "Uncle Lu, I'm glad you like it. I'll make other delicious food for you when I have the chance in the future."

Secretary Xiao Yao immediately interrupted: "Boss, you have to take me with you to the family dinner, it's really delicious!"

Hearing this, Secretary Lu laughed out loud: "Okay, okay, you will definitely be included!"

After that, Secretary Lu turned to Lin Jianying and said, "You are in for a treat, kid!"

Lin Jianying raised his eyebrows: "All men in our S city can cook. This time was an accident. I will definitely let you taste my cooking skills in the future! Then you will know that a wise ruler has a better appetite!"

"Oh, that makes me want to try it!" Secretary Lu thought for a moment and said, "Isn't Mingjun's birthday coming up soon? On her birthday, you two can come to City N and stay at my house. You can cook for me!"

Lin Jianying nodded immediately: "Don't worry!"

After dinner, Secretary Lu did not leave in a hurry. He sat on the sofa and chatted with Lin Jianying and Lu Mingjun about family matters. They talked about everything from work to life, from the past to the future.

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Lu Mingjun asked again: "Uncle Lu, why are you so nice to me?"

Secretary Lu paused for a moment, and just as he was about to continue to perfunctorily pass it over, he heard Lu Mingjun say, "Don't lie to me!"

Secretary Lu sighed upon seeing this, and there was a barely perceptible struggle in his eyes as he looked at Lu Mingjun.

After a long while, he slowly said, "I treat you well because you are such a lovely girl! Secondly... it's because of your father..."

"My dad?" When Lu's father died, Lu Mingjun was still very young. Therefore, in Lu Mingjun's memory, the image of his father has almost become a shadow.

"Your father is my closest comrade-in-arms in my life. We have fought side by side and experienced many ups and downs together. He is a very outstanding person who has given me a lot of help and support both at work and in life." At this point, Secretary Lu's eyes flashed with sadness: "What a pity..."

At this point, Secretary Lu's eyes turned red and his breathing became a little disordered. Of course, Lu Mingjun wasn't much better.

On the other side, Secretary Xiao Yao and Lin Jianying opened their mouths in surprise.

Secretary Xiao Yao: Is Lawyer Lu’s father so powerful?

You know, when Secretary Lu was in W City, he was also a division-level cadre. How high of an official must Lu be to be able to help a division-level cadre?

But Lin Jianying just felt that there must be another story behind this.

If Mr. Lu really has such a strong relationship with Secretary Lu, then why did Secretary Lu never show up during the twenty years when Lu Mingjun needed help the most?

However, it was not appropriate to ask these questions now. At this moment, Lin Jianying could only hold Lu Mingjun's hand tightly.

"So," Secretary Lu took a deep breath, calmed himself, and continued, "I treat you as my own daughter. When you get married, I will prepare a dowry for you and send you off!"
