Chapter 299: 268 For Him, Bending Over (Burst Update 2)_1

Bai Dingkai might have really forgotten because of being too busy, otherwise, he would have arrived in Beijing by tonight.

Being called senile, Bai Dingkai accepted it.

"Alright, my bad. We’ll talk when I return tomorrow."

"Hmm, then, I’ll introduce someone to you."

"Who? Lu Han, you’ve changed so much recently that I don’t recognize you anymore. Who could possibly come to see me through your backdoor, is it something work-related?"

"You’re overthinking it. They simply respect you for being around in the circle longer, so they want to meet you. If you don’t want to see them, just say so, and I can introduce them to someone else."

"Hey, they want to meet me, and you’re offering to introduce them to someone else? What’s that about?"

"Tang Su’s younger uncle. You’d better behave when the time comes."

"..."

I knew it, it’s related to that girl Tang Su again.

Lu Han spoils that girl so much. Isn’t he afraid of spoiling her rotten?

And, spoiling another girl so much, isn’t he worried that the Ouyang Family will find out and feel disappointed for their daughter?

"Speak up, did you hear me?" Lu Han didn’t wait for Bai Dingkai’s response and sent a voice message to urge him.

"Got it. Your elder is my elder, aren’t I aware I need to show respect?"

"Hmm, don’t worry, you won’t be at a loss in the future."

"I naturally trust the words of Young Master Lu. Alright, I’ll be at your beck and call when it’s time; happy now?"

Lu Han smiled and sent back an OK gesture.

"I have a question. The original author of "First Love", have you met her?" Lu Han suddenly asked.

"No, that author is so odd. Aside from taking the money, she doesn’t care about anything else. She isn’t worried that we might ruin her work and refuses to meet no matter what."

Bai Dingkai started to complain upon mentioning this.

He had been in Hua City today discussing this issue with his team since they still hadn’t settled on the actress for the female lead. He needed to return to Beijing to continue negotiations with Bai Simen.

That girl, unseen for three years, has quite the temperament now, hardly paying any heed to her brother at all.

After three years of no contact, he also realized that he had completely lost control over the cheeky girl.

"Alright, we’ll talk more when you’re back."

"Hmm."

After messaging with Bai Dingkai, Lu Han searched for "First Love".

The author’s pen name was — "Bowing For Him".

Before even starting to read the contents of the novel, just the pen name alone triggered some adult-only scenes in Lu Han’s mind, starting with his earlobes turning red, followed by his face, and then down to his neck.

Lu Han put down his phone and listened to the rustling sounds from the bathroom. The next second, he stood up and temporarily left the room.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would recklessly burst in, thus validating the accusation Tang Su had just made about him being a creep.

Men’s base instincts, even he had them.

The reason a man can remain unmoved is because he’s completely unattached, with no interest.

But faced with a woman he liked, loved to the bone, it’s not so easy to remain calm and collected. He wished he could turn into a wolf every second and ’assault’ his beloved little white rabbit.

**

The news of Lu Han bringing a girlfriend home somehow reached the ears of the Bai Family’s old patriarch.

Around dinner time, Bai Zhengfeng’s call came through, but he didn’t call Bai Wei, instead, he dialed directly to Lu Maoyan.

At that moment, Lu Maoyan had just caught a very plump carp and was thinking about the sweet and sour carp for dinner. However, as luck would have it, the old patriarch’s call came just as the fish got scared, and before the hook had securely caught it, it slipped away.

Lu Maoyan was so frustrated. He picked up his phone, and seeing that it was his father-in-law, he could only suppress his annoyance.

"Hello, Dad," Lu Maoyan greeted cheerfully and with utmost politeness.

"Huh, you still remember to call me ’Dad,’" the old man’s tone was sour, and he was quite puffed up with irritation. Good lord, if it weren’t for a happy occasion at the Bai Family today, he would have stormed over to the Lu Family to give them a piece of his mind.

Lu Han brought his girlfriend home, and they daringly kept it a secret from him, not allowing him to join in, let alone even informing him about such a significant meeting between the in-laws—what did they mean by that?

What, did they think this old man would get in the way?

Lu Maoyan was only so energetic because he had married his younger daughter as his petite wife; otherwise, by age, he’d also be considered a disregarded old geezer. If it weren’t for his daughter marrying him and becoming his wife, would his condition be as good as it is now?

"No, Dad, there’s no point in saying that, what have I done to you, huh? Just tell me where I went wrong, don’t beat around the bush like this, we’re all straightforward people."

"Hmph, you’ve got some nerve calling yourself straightforward. You’re the least direct of all. What good news did your family have today that wasn’t shared with me? Out with it." Grandpa Bai fumed on the other end of the phone.

The granddaughter-in-law had even arrived at their doorstep, and not a single person in the family had informed him—what was the meaning of this?

What, was he, the grandfather, not important enough to meet the granddaughter-in-law?

If Old Man Wu hadn’t let it slip that when he was hospitalized in Hua City, he had already met Lu Han’s girlfriend, who had also come to Beijing to take a family portrait with her grandmother’s family.

Then, when he called home, the few brainless servants let the cat out of the bag upon his probing, and he would have been none the wiser about the significant event they had pulled off behind his back.

He was still around in this world, and they didn’t even say hello?

What were they trying to do?

"Er..."

After realizing what had upset Grandpa Bai, Lu Maoyan was at a loss for words.

This incident had come out of the blue. If it hadn’t been for the Su Family’s portrait shoot made difficult on purpose today, it would have been none of their business.

"Dad, listen to my explanation." Lu Maoyan rubbed his temples. His wife’s imposing father, his own father-in-law, was someone he truly dared not offend.

He had to coax him.

He was the head of the Lu Family, but his delicate wife was not in charge of the Bai Family. There was no helping it; everyone in the Lu Family listened to him, but he listened to his daughter-in-law.

He had to coax and persuade Grandpa Bai, admitting fault where necessary.

After all, he was the one who called him "Dad."

"I’m old?" Grandpa Bai focused on what seemed important to him, "You’re only a few years younger than me, you mind that I’m old? Taking such big advantage of my daughter and still finding fault with me, are you asking for a longer life or what? Tell Weiwei to come back, say I feel unwell."

"Weiwei can’t come back. We have important guests at home today. How about this; I’ll come to your place tomorrow to explain in person and apologize. This incident today was an accident; it was very sudden, very unexpected."

"It wasn’t prearranged; if it were, why wouldn’t I have informed you? I’ll tell you, today’s entire situation was Lu Han’s fault. Some other day, I’ll grab him myself and come to your door, and you can punish him with family discipline."

"Go away, go away, go away. The New Year hasn’t even arrived yet, and he’s already brought his girlfriend home, am I supposed to discipline him with family rules? Have I grown old, I haven’t become that senile. Lu Han is earning merits here, you don’t know how much better he is than his cousins."

"..."

Faced with Grandpa Bai praising his own son, Lu Maoyan took pleasure in the praise, naturally keeping quiet.

His son being commended ultimately reflected on his own good genes as a father. Without him, would the kid have his success today? Right?

"Alright, Menmen is coming home tonight, bring your family over tomorrow. If possible, have Lu Han bring his girlfriend too. Let’s have a gathering first. If her family is not busy, invite them to join us for some fun."

"I’ll have to discuss this with Weiwei."

"Lu Maoyan, you’re not acting like a man. How old are you, and you still ask a woman for every decision? Can’t you make up your own mind?" Grandpa Bai, in his impatience, started speaking without mincing his words again.

You should know, the ’woman’ he referred to was his precious daughter.

Isn’t a son-in-law who respects his daughter a good thing?

"Dad, whether I’m man enough should be clear from Lu Han and Lu Zhu, shouldn’t it? If you want me to have a third child at this time, I really can’t do it, unless you’re willing to set an example."

When it came to being infuriating, Lu Maoyan wasn’t incapable; it was just a matter of whether he was willing.

Grandpa Bai: "..."

This shameless old man, his words were outrageous.

But Grandpa Bai had no response.

After all, Lu Maoyan had been a madman in his youth—the notorious Lu Madman that made people tremble at the mere mention of his name.

If it weren’t for his madness, he wouldn’t have done the deed of marrying his daughter into the Lu Family.

Humph—
