Chapter 126: Chapter 54: Third Young Master of Huo Family, Huo Lingyan

As the group was preparing to pay and leave, the restaurant owner came over and directly stopped the waiter who was about to process the payment with the bank card given by Lu Jingchen, he approached the table of four and started with a smile, "How could we possibly charge you for eating here? Didn’t I tell you before that you can eat here for free from now on?"

The man, who seemed to be in his thirties and was dressed in a finely tailored suit, apart from the resolute features time had etched on his face, actually looked no older than thirty.

Song Qiao looked at the man in front of her, and for a moment, felt a sense of familiarity. It was only later that she recalled seeing this man frequently on the covers of various magazines and newspapers in An City; not only because he was the big boss of this restaurant, but also because he was a well-known architectural engineer in An City who had won numerous awards.

More importantly, if Song Qiao’s memory served her right, the reports had mentioned that this man was once a soldier and was currently a single, highly eligible bachelor.

It’s not that Song Qiao was particularly nosy about such news, but there was a time when Ning Wan pointed at this man’s photo in a report and said, if she ever had the chance, she would marry someone like him; young and accomplished, not to mention handsome with an aura of safety.

Seeing the visitor, Lu Jingchen quickly stood up and greeted him with a light smile, "Uncle, you’re here!"

Song Qiao was stunned, Uncle... this man is Lu Jingchen’s uncle?

How... how young he is?

Huo Lingyan looked at Lu Jingchen, patted his shoulder, and spoke with a smile, "Earlier, the restaurant manager called me and told me Jingchen was here. I thought he was joking, but it turns out to be true. When did you get back to the country? Why didn’t you tell us?"

Lin Musen and Gu Xicheng also stood up and respectfully greeted Huo Jianyang, but unlike Lu Jingchen, they addressed Huo Lingyan directly as Huo Third Brother.

The Huo Family, like the Lu Family, is one of the ancient and extensive family systems in An City, with numerous members in both the main and collateral branches. Huo Lingyan, being the third eldest son in his generation of the Huo Family, is a direct descendant of the family head. Having grown up in the Huo household, he is known for his decisive and stern way of handling matters in all aspects, additionally, it’s rumored that Huo Lingyan not only has a military background but is also influential in both legal and underground worlds, hence he is also referred to as Huo Third Young Master.

Even though he "washed his hands in a golden basin" and started cleaning up his past identities a few years ago, his notoriety still left a significant impact on people.

Song Qiao had never been exposed to this circle, naturally unaware of these details, and now she also stood up, frozen in place, looking at Huo Lingyan’s profile, feeling that this man seemed incredibly powerful.

Lu Jingchen, with a faint smile looking at Huo Lingyan, didn’t hide anything and simply said, "I just returned to the country a few days ago; I’ve been busy with company matters and haven’t had the chance to visit grandfather yet. Today, I brought my wife out to have a meal with Musen and Xicheng."

Upon hearing this, Huo Lingyan was momentarily stunned, before speaking in disbelief, "Jingchen, you... you got married?"

Lu Jingchen nodded, then pulled Song Qiao who was hiding behind him forward, and softly said, "Xiao Qiao, say hello."
