Chapter 3426: Chapter 3418: You Have to Get Past Me First

Meanwhile, the three of them also saw Lin Yi’s car coming in.

Song Yuzhen was the first to get up and walked toward the car.

Liang Xianghe and Lu Xingchuan also stopped their game of chess.

Ji Qingyan opened the car door and faced Song Yuzhen directly.

"Last time I saw Little Ji, it was so hurried. This time I can finally take a good look."

The last time Ji Qingyan was seen was when Lin Yi had an accident.

That time was too rushed; there wasn’t even a chance to talk face-to-face. This is the official meeting.

"Aunt."

Ji Qingyan warmly called out, making Song Yuzhen smile broadly.

"Come, come, come, get out of the car quickly."

Song Yuzhen reached out, "Nuonuo, let great-grandma give you a hug."

On the way, Ji Qingyan educated her all the way, telling her not to resist others’ hugs, or she wouldn’t buy her toys in the future.

As a result, when Song Yuzhen hugged her, Little Nuonuo didn’t resist.

"She looks so much like you."

Song Yuzhen pressed against Little Nuonuo’s cheek, "In the future, she’ll be as smart and beautiful as your mom."

"Alright, this isn’t the place to talk, let’s go inside first."

Liang Xianghe spoke, so everyone stopped chatting outside and brought the children into the house.

In the kitchen, there’s a middle-aged woman experimenting with some dishes.

Lin Yi knew she was Lu Xingchuan’s wife, Zhang Qing.

He’s seen her photo before; this is the first time meeting her in person.

Not exactly the top beauty, but she gave off an aura of elegance and grace.

Lin Yi had seen this kind of feeling in his own mother-in-law, but Zhang Qing didn’t have that sharp edge.

She gave off a very comfortable feeling; even at the first encounter, there was no sense of estrangement.

"Aunt Zhang."

Lin Yi smiled and greeted.

"You’ve come so many times, but this is the first time I’m seeing you—you’re much more handsome than your dad was back then."

"The younger generation surpasses the older one." Lin Yi laughed heartily.

Zhang Qing stood next to Song Yuzhen, pinching Little Nuonuo’s cheek.

For the first time encountering so many strangers, Little Nuonuo was scared and didn’t dare speak, blinking her big eyes and staying still.

"You guys chat first, there are a few more dishes, and we can eat soon."

"I’ll go help."

"No need for you to help; we shouldn’t have guests in the kitchen."

"We don’t count as guests anymore."

Ji Qingyan proactively went into the kitchen, Song Yuzhen soothed the child, and Lin Yi, Liang Xianghe, and Lu Xingchuan sat at the coffee table, discussing recent events.

"How’s your company doing? Lately, there should be a lot of businesses contacting you." Lu Xingchuan said.

"I haven’t been following the specifics, but I did hear a bit." Lin Yi said:

"Some foreign car companies want to enter the field of new energy and have already reached out to the group."

"In this area, you’re indeed at the forefront of the world. The higher-ups are paying attention to your company’s directions. It’s a critical time, and no mistakes can be made. Also, your research progress must keep up, so the burden on your shoulders is heavy."

"I’ll convey these matters when I go back to the meeting."

"Even though you’re doing great at my dad’s place, don’t neglect these matters. When done to a certain extent, it will be an insurance card for you."

"I understand."

As they talked, the dishes were finished and gradually brought to the table.

They were all home-cooked dishes, colorful and carefully prepared.

"Come on, today let’s not talk about work—treat it as a family gathering."

"You shouldn’t drink too much, half a glass is enough."

"Get lost, mind your business." Liang Xianghe scolded, "Bring the child over to me, let her sit next to me."

"Elder Lu, the child doesn’t eat properly, sitting next to you would make it hard for her to eat."

"It’s okay, bring her here."

Song Yuzhen brought the child next to Liang Xianghe.

She also touched her cheek, with a kindly look in her eyes.

"Drink, I want to drink." Looking at the juice on the table, Little Nuonuo said in a childish voice.

"You’re too young to drink; mom will pour you some water."

"It’s okay to have a little—it’s all-natural and preservative-free." Zhang Jing persuaded: "A little is fine."

"Then mom will pour you a little."

The cup isn’t big; Ji Qing took out a third for her.

"Thank you, mom, I love you the most."

Everyone at the table burst into laughter.

"Grandpa, let’s toast."

Little Nuonuo held up her cup to Liang Xianghe.

"You can’t call him grandpa, it’ll mess up the generational order."

"Call him great-grandpa." Ji Qingyan reminded.

Little Nuonuo’s eyes twinkled, "Great-grandpa, let’s toast."

"Come, let’s toast."

Liang Xianghe grinned widely, clinking glasses with Little Nuonuo.

Little Nuonuo held the cup with both hands and took a satisfied sip.

"Do you have any plans for this child in the future?" Liang Xianghe looked at Little Nuonuo, but he was really asking Ji Qingyan.

"I haven’t thought about it yet, but the Lingyun Group and Chaoyang Group will need someone to take over eventually; I just don’t know if she’s the right fit."

"I don’t understand these matters. You should check with your Uncle Lu more."

"Got it."

"We’re still young, why not have a few more; they’ll be company for each other in the future."

Liang Xianghe rarely spoke in a roundabout way; his real meaning was to have more kids while young—if one doesn’t work out, there’s always another.

Ji Qingyan felt embarrassed by his comment and could only nod with a smile.

After eating for a short while, the three women brought the child outside, leaving Lin Yi, Liang Xianghe, and Lu Xingchuan to drink.

"Old Sir, what’s your stance on Dragon Eagle now?"

"If I kept thinking about those things, I wouldn’t be able to stay in this position."

"The existence of Dragon Eagle does indeed pose a threat to the Guardian Brigade’s status."

"If it were a year ago, this might have been possible, but now that your Uncle Lu is here, they can’t stir up trouble."

Lin Yi smiled, "This counts as a promotion, I respect Uncle Lu with a toast."

Lu Xingchuan smiled.

"Keep up the good work while my dad can still hold out for a few more years. Accumulate more achievements." Lu Xingchuan said:

"But some things, I need to remind you, later on, you need to keep a lower profile. Even if you’re not trying to win them over, don’t set yourself up as an enemy, or you won’t be able to take over the Guardian Brigade."

"Do you see him as wanting to take over right now?" Liang Xianghe said:

"Plus, it would be hard for him to take my position. As long as his dad is alive, there’s no way to shut people up."

"That’s simple; just create fake death news." Lu Xingchuan said with a smile.

"That’s all for later. The key is that he doesn’t even have the intention."

"Actually, it doesn’t matter what position I’m in. Anyway, it doesn’t delay getting work done, and the higher the position, the less freedom there is. I’ve been lazy for so long; I can’t sit still."

Lin Yi took a sip of wine and said softly:

"But whoever dares to make a move on you has to get past me first."
