C2 Return

Two days later, Imperial City Airport.

Amidst the bustling crowd walked a beautiful woman with a tall figure. She looked all the way out of the airport.

After being asleep for more than twenty years and waking up, his Imperial City had undergone a tremendous change.

Soong Jin stood at the airport entrance and watched for a while before waving to a taxi and giving her address.

The driver turned his head and looked at her enviously, "The little girl works at Lu Group company?"

"No, to apply."

"Lu Group company's requirements are strict, I wish you good luck."

"Thank you."

As the car drove on the main street, Soong Jin looked through the window at the familiar yet unfamiliar city. After being separated for so many years, her heart was beating fast when she returned to her hometown. It was almost impossible to calm down.

The car stopped outside the Lu Group Building. Soong Jin strode in, took out an invitation and successfully went upstairs.

Five minutes later, the door was pushed open, and an interviewer in a black suit sat across from her. The man was young, wore glasses, had a handsome face, and his eyes narrowed as he scanned through her resume.

"Miss Soong, it's convenient to cook dinner here today?" This is one of the assessment criteria. "

Hsiao Yi looked at the pure and beautiful woman with a unique temperament and a beautiful figure in front of him in surprise. He never expected that the chef who was hired by the CEO would be such a young and beautiful lady.

Soong Jin smirked slyly, "It might be inconvenient today. Please help me pass this to Lu Nancheng. I'll wait for him here."

Hsiao Yi was surprised to see the jade pendant again. He carefully received it, glanced at Soong Jin again, then quickly opened the door and left.

She nervously sat on the chair. Three minutes later, the door was pulled open again.

Soong Jin tilted her head and looked up. First, she saw the man's shiny leather shoes, then his straight and powerful legs wrapped in black trousers, and then his flawless waist, which was covered by a restrained white shirt. Her gaze lazily swept across his strong chest, and then landed on his handsome and extraordinary face.

Her thick eyebrows were slightly knitted, and her eyes were staring coldly at Ning Xuemo. Her lips were pursed tightly under her nose, and her jaw was taut. She quickly walked around the table and ordered the people outside, "Close the door, and don't let anyone in."

Soong Jin sat obediently in her chair, a faint smile on her lips.

"Lu Nancheng, long time no see."

They hadn't met in over twenty years. Back then, Dr. Soong had saved Old Master Lu's life and the two of them became best friends. Coincidentally, Dr. Soong had a daughter, Soong Jin, who was only a few years younger than him.

After so many years, Lu Nancheng almost forgot about this matter.

"Soong Jin?"

The man's voice was hoarse, like sand, and she smiled and nodded.

"Is our engagement still final?"

Lu Nancheng's black eyes were half-lidded, and he seemed to be able to keep people at a distance: "You like me?"

"You look better than I thought."

These words were a bit abrupt, but from the woman's mouth, there was a hint of praise.

Lu Nancheng's sharp gaze swept across her young and beautiful face. Her fair skin and cheeks were slightly red. Her pair of wet eyes were looking at him with spirit energy. The woman's lips slightly pursed, as if suppressing her nervousness.

She wore a light coloured linen dress, and her shoulder-length hair was loose at the back of her head. Her temperament was pure and clean, like a child who had never experienced the world.

Lu Nancheng placed the jade on the table. "Miss Soong doesn't have anyone she likes?"

"No, because of the engagement."

Lu Nancheng swallowed back his words: "The marriage contract was set by the family elders, what about Dr. Soong?"

"My father didn't come back with me this time. He was out on a tour."

"Where's Miss Soong staying now?"

"Unfortunately, I just returned today, so I don't have a place to stay."

"If you don't mind, we'll stay at the hotel under Lu Group first. We'll discuss the engagement later."

Soong Jin nodded with a smile and picked up the bag on the floor. "Thank you, Mr. Lu."

She could see Lu Nancheng's resistance and coldness. Since she had already achieved her goal today, she didn't stay any longer and took the initiative to leave. Lu Nancheng sent some people to deliver her to the hotel under Lu Group.

Before returning to their country, Soong Jin had already investigated the Lu Group of a hundred year old noble family. Twenty years ago, their Imperial City had already become the overlord of a region, and after developing for so many years, they had become the leaders of all walks of life.

Soong Jin swiped her card and entered the hotel. She ruthlessly threw herself onto the luxurious bed and rolled around with the blanket wrapped around her. Although she hadn't rested for so long on the plane, she wasn't sleepy at all, and recalling the details of meeting Lu Nancheng today, he probably didn't want to mention this engagement.

Soong Jin felt slightly vexed. Sighing, she got up and went to the bathroom. After taking a shower, she sat on the balcony in a daze. As night gradually fell, she narrowed her eyes and yawned. She heard a knock on the door.

She opened the door doubtfully. A young man in a black suit stood outside and respectfully asked, "May I ask if you are Miss Soong Jin?"

"Un, what's the matter?"

"Old Master Lu sent me to take you to my house."

The Lu Family Residence was located halfway up the mountain, and the night curtain was drooping down. The lights in the huge courtyard were bright like the day, the carriage passed through the tree-lined road, and finally stopped steadily in front of the magnificent building.

Soong Jin got off the car carrying her only luggage. The dignified Old Master Lu led everyone to stand on the stairs and enthusiastically greet them.

Lu Nancheng looked at the slowly advancing Soong Jin with an expressionless face. His cold eyes turned slightly.

Old Master Lu was in high spirits as he strode forward like a towering pine and cypress. "Jin, it's been a long time since we last met. You're already so old."

"Grandpa Lu, this is a gift from my father."

Soong Jin took out her bag with a smile and handed it over to him solemnly. Old Master Lu's dignified face was covered with a kind smile. His white brows trembled as he asked, "Is your father well now?"

"Everything is fine."

"That's good. Come inside. Nancheng, come over."

Lu Nancheng walked forward with a calm expression on his handsome face. Soong Jin ignored him and entered the room together with him.

The old Lu Family Residence took up a lot of space. Other than this building, there were other buildings grouped together beside it.

The old man sat in the main seat while she and Lu Nancheng sat in the main seat.

"Jin, the marriage between you and Nancheng, you can get married one day."

On the way here, she was afraid that her Lu Family would not recognize her. After all, so many years had passed.

"I'm fine, just don't know Mr. Lu?"

"Nancheng has no objections."

She subconsciously glanced at Lu Nancheng, who was sitting beside her. The man was still dressed like before, with a stern expression under the light. His eyes were half closed, thin lips were pursed, and his back was straight.

"Then get married."

"Alright, you need a few days to prepare for the wedding. You can go and get your certificate tomorrow. Nancheng will take you to the banquet in the afternoon."

Soong Jin's eyes curved into a smile as she replied. As the giant rock in her heart fell, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Old Master Lu looked at his grandson and then looked at Soong Jin. The little girl looked white and tender, like a delicate and beautiful flower. She looked young and beautiful. Her grandson seemed to be old and was eating tender grass.

She was afraid that she would be wronged by Miss Song.

"From today onwards, this will be your home. Nancheng, take care of Jin."

After the old man left after saying a few words, Soong Jin's almond eyes flashed as she followed Lu Nancheng upstairs.
