Chen Pingting's voice attracted everyone's attention.

Lu Mingjun looked at the two suspiciously and asked, "What's wrong? Do you know each other?"

But this time, Chen Pingting did not answer Lu Mingjun's question immediately. She still stood there, staring at Secretary Lu.

"Who are you?" Secretary Lu said, taking off his coat and handing it to Secretary Xiao Yao.

The overall movement was calm and composed, and everyone present could see that Secretary Lu did not know Chen Pingting.

Chen Pingting took another step forward and looked at Secretary Lu carefully.

At this moment, Secretary Lu's aura, which originally belonged to the provincial party secretary, seemed to have completely disappeared in front of Chen Pingting.

Chen Pingting looked at it for a long time without any pressure, with a trace of confusion in her eyes.

The moment their eyes met, Chen Pingting was overwhelmed with sadness, but she finally shook her head calmly and said, "I recognized the wrong person!"

Secretary Lu nodded calmly, then asked, "Girl, is this your confused mother?"

Chen Pingting: Do you have to resort to such personal attacks? Can't you just talk nicely?

……

The dinner was relatively harmonious. At least the man's parents were there. Even though Secretary Lu was dissatisfied with Chen Pingting's stupidity, he still endured it.

However, in the few days following this night, Lu Mingjun discovered that Secretary Lu became even busier.

I am so busy that I go out early and come back late, and I hardly see her and Chen Pingting anymore!

Under this abnormal situation, Lu Mingjun still found an opportunity to ask Chen Pingting.

"Do you know Uncle Lu?" Lu Mingjun asked directly, leaving Chen Pingting, who wanted to play dumb, with no room to show her acting skills.

Chen Pingting paused while cutting the orange, turned to look at Lu Mingjun mechanically, and said with an awkward smile: "Didn't I tell you that day? I recognized the wrong person..."

Seeing this, Lu Mingjun took the fruit knife from Chen Pingting's hand.

This thing is too dangerous and is really not suitable to be held in the hands of the uneasy Chen Pingting.

She pulled Chen Pingting away, walked to the chopping board, and skillfully cut the orange. "I don't like deception, so don't lie to me."

Chen Pingting: It seems that having a daughter who is too smart is not a good thing!

But, how should she say it?

Lu Mingjun pretended not to see the struggle in Chen Pingting's eyes. He put the cut oranges into the fruit bowl and pulled Chen Pingting to a corner of the living room.

There was originally a vegetable growing rack here. Due to sufficient light and suitable temperature, the onions, garlic, green leafy vegetables and other vegetables planted in the rack grew very well.

However, this piece of Feng Shui treasure land finally caught Lu Mingjun's eye. So, he teamed up with Lin Jianying and took advantage of the fact that the aunt was not at home to move the shelf full of onions and garlic and put a small table and two small chairs in it.

From then on, whenever Lu Mingjun was at home, he would sit here most of the time.

At this time, the mother and daughter were sitting opposite each other on either side of the small table. The tea that had been brewed and placed here was at just the right temperature.

Chen Pingting took a sip of tea to hide her uneasiness. However, under the direct sunlight, Lu Mingjun could clearly see the guilty look on her face.

"Tell me, do you know my Uncle Lu?" Lu Mingjun didn't drink his tea, his eyes were fixed on Chen Pingting: "Or, can you tell me what the relationship between Uncle Lu and our family is?"

Lu Mingjun felt that she must find out the truth today!

"Can you not tell me?" Chen Pingting spoke weakly, and then took another big gulp of tea.

Lu Mingjun was amused by Chen Pingting's behavior. Wasn't her determination to win obvious enough?

"What do you think?" Lu Mingjun threw the question to Chen Pingting.

She had recently learned this trick from Secretary Lu and Lin Jianying. Sometimes, some rhetoric within the system was really useful.

Because Chen Pingting was indeed caught.

Chen Pingting lowered her head and took a few gulps of tea. Then, without even raising her head, she asked, "Why don't you ask the guy surnamed Lu? Are you picking on the weak?"

Lu Mingjun nodded: "Then please ask Ms. Soft Persimmon to help me solve this puzzle!"

Chen Pingting raised her head abruptly upon hearing this, and looked at Lu Mingjun with complicated eyes. She couldn't help but sigh, "History always repeats itself in a surprising way. The way you are mad at me right now is exactly the same as the way I was mad at your grandparents more than 20 years ago!"

As expected of her daughter... Haha, just like her, she is asking her biological parents for debt collection!

Lu Mingjun nodded, but always remembered his purpose: "Can you tell me now?"

Chen Pingting sighed again, and then said, "How did he tell you his identity?"

"He said that when my father was in the W City Material Bureau, he worked under my father."

Lu Mingjun recalled for a moment, then nodded seriously: Yes, that's what her uncle Lu said.

Hearing this, Chen Pingting showed disdain on her face: "If his last name is Lu, and if he has also served in the XX Military Region, then he must be lying to you... Humph, he is so old, but still so unreliable, he even lied to children!"

At this point, Chen Pingting raised her head and looked out the window. The sun shone on her still delicate face...

Anyway, from this perspective, the profile looks a little... well, aged!

"When he was in the army, he was your father's number one rival! We used to say that when the two of them met, it was the real-life version of 'If there is Yu, why is there Liang?'"

"It's just that you know what the army is like?"

As if she was recalling the interesting things that happened in the army, the relaxed and comfortable look on Chen Pingting's face did not seem fake:

"There, second place is meaningless! Because on the battlefield, second place won't survive!"

"So your father and him, they compete in everything! At first, they just competed in training, physical fitness, and fighting. Later, they started to compete to see who would be promoted first, who would get married first..."

As Chen Pingting was talking, she couldn't help laughing: "But your father won everything, especially the marriage part. This kid didn't get married until your father changed his job!"

Lu Mingjun: This desire to win is actually unnecessary...

"As for what he did afterwards and when he changed his career, I don't know..."

After saying this, Chen Pingting said sincerely: "I didn't lie to you about the above!"

Lu Mingjun nodded and confirmed again: "So, according to you, he and my father are just simple comrades-in-arms?"

Chen Pingting nodded, and then added: "They are comrades whose relationship is not harmonious!"

"Since you are just 'comrades with less than harmonious relationship', why don't you dare to say it? Why don't you dare to recognize each other? Why does he keep avoiding you?"

Lu Mingjun asked several "whys" in a row, and finally asked: "And last night, you hid in the kitchen, what did you talk about secretly?"
