Song Luting paused for a moment and didn’t know how to react.
Everyone from the capital knew that Pan Mingyue was one of the few people that could make Qin Ran change her decision. Chang Ning held her in high regard as well.
They would surely be here for her wedding.
The same went for the Qin and Cheng families.
Chang Ning, Song Luting, and He Chen would be there as well. Giant Crocodile’s attendance would depend on his schedule. But since he was in the capital now, Song Luting estimated that he would be there as well.
Kenneth became a good friend of Qin Hanqiu recently. They even played chess with the uncles in the neighborhood. He was really interested in Chinese culture.
If Pan Mingyue invited Kenneth, he would surely accept it.
…
The Qin and Cheng families arranged for the wedding when Qin Ran and He Chen got married. Qin Ran and Cheng Juan were the heads of the Qin and Cheng families, respectively. With the Cheng brothers and Shi Liming’s support and influence, they shouldn’t expect any troubles.
Even Matthew and Kenneth wouldn’t dare to fight each other.
Even though the Lu family was planning it now, Song Luting felt that there was no need for it. It would be impossible for Second Uncle Lu to recognize everyone.
However, Mother Lu really wanted to plan for the wedding. Song Luting couldn’t reject her at all.
“There are a few others. You’ll have to ask Ran Ran about them,” Song Luting replied after a while.
Mother Lu was confused. “We need to ask Ran Ran? Then, we should check through the list again.”
There were still a few months to the wedding, so Song Luting couldn’t understand why Mother Lu was in such a hurry. He then took over the list and said, “Let me write it down, Mingyue has some close friends. She can take care of it.”
Song Luting then wrote down Pan Mingyue’s uncle, people from the Research Institute, and Pan Mingyue’s friends. He didn’t have to write down the names from the Lu family as they would take care of it themselves. He just had to write down the names that they wouldn’t know.
Even though Song Luting was with the Physics Research Institute, he knew most things about her and her friends.
The names filled up three pages.
After he was done, he checked again before handing the papers to Mother Lu. He then said, “That’s all for now. You’ll have to ask Ran Ran about this other list.”
He then passed Mother Lu another piece of paper.
Mother Lu looked at it and said, “Alright, I will inform them.”
Song Luting was really busy. He was trying to settle what Giant Crocodile did at the base. No one from Beijing University dared to approach him for it. Hence, the principal asked him for help. Song Luting then had to leave his work at the Research Institute to talk to Giant Crocodile.
That was why he couldn’t come over for Pan Mingyue’s birthday.
It was nothing much, actually. They didn’t like to celebrate birthdays after the previous incident.
Hence, he just stayed in the Lu family for a while. He then received a call from the principal when he was done with dinner.
“Is it regarding that matter?” Pan Mingyue said as she threw away the napkin.
“I can handle it.” Song Luting signaled for her not to worry. Before he left, he remembered something and spoke to Mother Lu. “If you need any assistance regarding the wedding, you can ask Ran Ran for Cheng Mu’s help. They’re more experienced in this matter.”
He Chen and Qin Ran’s guests were mostly the same as Pan Mingyue’s.
“I’ll be fine, don’t worry,” Mother Lu said as she sent him out.
Pan Mingyue wanted to take over from Chang Ning. She went upstairs after the meal.
Lu Zhaoying followed her up.
“What’s the matter?” Pan Mingyue asked as she received Augustus’s data. She noticed that he was carrying a suspicious box.
Lu Zhaoying then nonchalantly handed the box to her and said, “It’s a present.”
Pan Mingyue released the mouse and stared at him in shock, asking, “Haven’t you given a lot already?”
“That was in the past.” Lu Zhaoying said, “Open it only after I leave.”
He then left the room in a hurry and even closed the door behind him.
It was a rare sight for Pan Mingyue. She was no longer concerned about Augustus and immediately opened the box. She was shocked when she saw the box’s content.
Inside were Lu Zhaoying’s ear studs which were inlaid on a silver necklace.
Pan Mingyue didn’t have much of an impression regarding them, but Mother Lu had mentioned that they were precious items to Lu Zhaoying.
As she was thinking.
A notification sounded from the computer.
A conversation popped up.
[My dad will be heading over Ninghai Town to pick up your uncle in the next couple of days. Reply 1 if you wish to come along.]
Pan Mingyue was speechless.
She replied 1.
The conversation disappeared. It was as though it never existed.
Qin Ran had been using this way to contact her ever since the last time she didn’t pick up her call.
Pan Mingyue looked at the conversation. She immediately remembered that she asked Cheng Juan why he gave Lu Zhaoying a copy of the Three Character Classic a couple of days ago.
Cheng Juan paused for a while before replying.
[Spare the rod, spoil the child.]
…
Downstairs, Father and Mother Lu were discussing the name list with Second Uncle Lu.
The first page wasn’t complex.
The first name on the list was Pan Mingyue’s uncle. Mother Lu paused and said, “Mingyue’s uncle…”
“They rarely meet up. It was only a couple of years ago that they started to contact each other. I will be going back with her. We will settle everything when we reach the capital. Mingyue hasn’t seen her uncle in a while,” Lu Zhaoying said as he went to get water from the kitchen. He then headed upstairs after that.
Mother Lu wanted to ask why Mingyue never asked about her uncle before, but she stopped herself when she remembered what Pan Mingyue’s father did in his career.
She felt pity for her again. How could an angel like her experience such a bad fate?
In comparison, Lu Zhaoying was a rascal even though he had a wonderful family.
She glared at him when she thought of this and said, “Leave, then.”
Lu Zhaoying was confused.
Mother Lu didn’t look at him after this and focused on the name list.
However, when she saw Pan Mingyue’s colleagues, she noticed something was weird.
Master Wei and Song Luting were there.
The Zhou family was there too. They wanted Pan Mingyue to be their godchild for the longest time. This was especially the case for Zhou Shan. He was devastated when Pan Mingxuan died and fell sick for half a year. However, Pan Mingyue brought him some comfort, and he helped her out secretly at Beijing University.
He Jinxin was now the second in command of the Inspection Institute. They had to invite her.
Mother Lu lowered the first list.
She then took a look at the second list and exclaimed, “This list is kinda weird.”
There were only three names on this list—
Chang Ning, Lou Yue, and Slag Dragon.
“What’s the matter?” Father asked as he took a look at the list. He was only perplexed by Slag Dragon. He then asked, “Isn’t he Mr. Dragon from a couple of days ago? What does he do for a living?”
He remembered Slag Dragon wearing a broken slipper that day.
Mother Lu remembered what Song Luting said and understood that they weren’t some unknown commoners.
Second Uncle Lu was curious and looked at the list as well. He fell silent after looking at it.
“Do you know him?” Father Lu asked.
Second Uncle Lu replied, “I know the person in the middle. Mushroom cloud.”
…
Before the week was over Qin Hanqiu was done packing and was back at Ninghai Town.
Lu Zhaoying and Pan Mingyue were there as well.
“My cousin will be picking me up,” Pan Mingyue said to Lu Zhaoying. “Come over after you’re done settling Hao Dui’s matters. I will need to explain to my uncle and his family.”
Lu Zhaoying drove over with the gifts.
However, his car felt out of place in Ninghai Town. Her uncle’s family wasn’t rich, and Pan Mingyue would have to explain everything to them.
