"Haozi, it's not bad. She's all bearded, like a father."

After not seeing each other for a month, Meng Hao not only grew a beard, but also changed a lot. He lost weight and did calmly. It seems that the man who became a father is different.

"Brother-in-law, Mengyao bought a piece of material for you in Hong Kong, saying that she would make you a set of clothes." Meng Hao took out a piece of high-quality fabric from his suitcase and handed it over.

"No, European wool ingredients are ready and can be worn after the beginning of autumn. Thank you Mengyao." Lu Xiyan took it and said with satisfaction.

"Brother-in-law, I have a gift for you."

"Do you have a gift to me?" Lu Xiyan said in surprise. Xi Mengyao is her daughter's home and is meticulous. It is understandable to choose gifts for him. Meng Hao is careless. Except when he was in love, he gave Xi Mengyao a scarf. It seems that he has never heard of anyone who has given him a gift.

Meng Hao took out a box with exquisite packaging and opened it. A pipe appeared in front of Lu Xiyan. The yellow-brown bucket body, the silver cigarette mouthpiece, the gorgeous workmanship and the streamlined bucket body were very beautiful.

"Give it to me?"

"Yes." Meng Hao nodded.

Lu Xiyan took it into his hand and felt that he had sunk. He said in surprise: "Is this cigarette holder from sterling silver?"

"Um."

"The heather roots of more than 250 years are produced in Corsica, France. The Zig-Zag brand pipe has won the Gold Award at the Aristocratic Expo. This pipe is a fine handmade product made by Master Sepol. Western politicians and nobles, all good pipes, want to get a pipe made by Master Sepol. This gift is very valuable." Lu Xiyan took it in his hand and looked carefully.

"Brother-in-law, do you actually recognize the origin of this pipe?"

"I have even seen Master Sepol himself, his works. Why don't you know me? How did you get this pipe?" Lu Xiyan smiled.

"By chance, I bought it from a Jew, and it didn't cost much." Meng Hao said, "I think it's new and no one has used it yet. I think you will definitely like it, so I bought it."

"Did you spend a little money?"

"One hundred and fifty pounds." Meng Hao said.

"It's not bad. If this pipe falls into the eyes of people who like pipes, you can't get it without 300 pounds. Haozi, you'll make it." Lu Xiyan smiled.

"The man also said how to maintain the pipe, and said that the choice of tobacco should not be careless. He also took me to buy a box of tobacco." Meng Hao took out an iron can from the box, which contained tobacco, a kind of tobacco produced from Denmark.

"Brid, canary, good thing." Lu Xiyan smiled. He rarely smoked before, but he still knew some of the pipes and tobacco. The French are partial to pipes. This is a kind of culture, so he has also learned about them.

"Thank you, Haozi, my brother-in-law likes this gift very much, it's not in vain to love you." Lu Xiyan said, "By the way, where is your sister's gift?"

"Don't worry, it's indispensable, Chanel 5's perfume, lipstick, and a brand-name clutch." Meng Hao smiled.

"Yeah, it's not bad, I know how to care for people."

"Xiyan, what are you two talking about upstairs at Xiaohao? You're down for dinner." Meng Fanxing's voice came from downstairs.

"Here you." Lu Xiyan put away his pipe and tobacco, "Don't tell your sister, you bought this for me. She doesn't like me smoking now."

"I understand." Meng Hao winked and said with a clever look.

"It's only been almost the morning, why are you eating? I'm not hungry yet?" Lu Xiyan came downstairs and looked at the sky outside.

"It's already half past six. You're not hungry, Xiao Hao is hungry." Meng Fanxing said.

"Have Yan Lei returned?"

"I called, went to pick up Tian Rui, and I'll be back in a while."

"Yan Lei is not young anymore and has been with Tian Rui for a long time. Should I find some time to get them done? This person is not right and has a bad attitude, it's not good?" Lu Xiyan said.

"Well, I don't know what happened to Tian Rui's family. Yan Lei has no relatives in Shanghai. Even if we are his family, we have to hurry up." Meng Fanxing nodded.

While speaking, the sound of a car motor sounded outside the door.

Yan Lei's car came in.

There is also his girlfriend Tian Rui, who is a little shy. After getting off the car, she waited for Yan Lei to push the door and come in.

"Come on, everyone is here, let's have a meal..." Lu Xiyan picked up Lu Xiaorui and called everyone to the restaurant.

"Today is a family dinner. Welcome Haozi home and be promoted to father!" Lu Xiyan stood up and raised his glass, "Come on, let's have a drink."

"Congratulations to Young Master Hao!"

"Thank you, Brother Yan Lei, when will you have your wedding banquet with Miss Tian Rui?" Meng Hao smiled.

Yan Lei's face turned red, and Tian Rui shyly lowered her head and buried it under the table.

"It's almost done, Xiaorui discussed it and decided to choose a day before Mid-Autumn Festival to get things done." Yan Lei reached out and grabbed Tian Rui's hand, took a deep breath, and announced solemnly.

"Okay, Yan Lei, he looks like a man. You must start quickly when you find a wife. If it is slow, the daylily will be cold." Lu Xiyan smiled.

"Come on, come on, eat food, Xiao Wu, it's your turn next, don't be embarrassed, and, A Xiang, don't bully Xiao Wu if you're fine..."

...

On Fukaisen Road, less than fifty meters away from Lu Mansion, a black Curtis car is on the side of the road.

"Boss, this agreed time has passed long ago. Are you going or not?" Alai was dressed as a car driver. Luo Yaozu was sitting in the back row. She had short sleeves, glasses, and her hair was meticulously combed. It was really hard to imagine the appearance of a small tavern owner.

Luo Yaozu actually wanted to go. He was alone and didn't think anything when he was young. At this age, he felt more and more that family and affection were important. He had no wife, his parents had long passed away, and his relatives and friends were all gone, and there was no contact, let alone any feelings. Only this sister's family was related to him. He actually fantasized that when he got old one day, he could enjoy the joy of family.

"Are you a little timid in close relationship?" Alai didn't hear Luo Yaozu's response, and turned around and asked.

Luo Yaozu's mouth has a salty smell.

He didn't have the courage to push the car door open and walk down. He thought he could at least have the courage to walk to the door and hesitate whether to go in.

At this moment, their family should have a happy meal.

If I appear, wouldn’t it ruin the beautiful atmosphere? Or would I really not have the courage to face them, or would it be the best time to meet?

"Boss..."

...

"Brother-in-law, why are there more bowls and chopsticks? Is there anyone else to come?" Meng Hao noticed that there were also a pair of bowls and chopsticks next to him, and a chair.

But no one has ever been there.

"A person who was supposed to come may not come." Lu Xiyan smiled slightly. He was actually a little disappointed. Although he did not force it, he still hoped that Luo Yaozu could come tonight.

It is so difficult for a family to sit together and eat in this war-torn era.

"Aren't everyone in the family here anymore, why are there still guests?" Meng Hao was a little surprised. Xiao Wu, who was injured and hospitalized, was discharged from the hospital. Why are there still people not there?

"Haozi, have a meal. If he doesn't come, there will naturally be a reason why he won't come." Lu Xiyan said slowly.

Meng Hao suddenly changed his face. He guessed it and thought that he was not the smartest one in this family.

Since he and Lu Xiyan made a mistake at the Windsor Hotel that day, he should have thought that the secret of his uncle returning to Shanghai could not be kept.

Meng Hao put down his bowls and chopsticks and rushed out.

"Xiao Hao..." Meng Fanxing stood up nervously and called out.

"Let him go." Lu Xiyan stretched out his hand, grabbed his wife's arm, and said softly.

If Luo Yaozu dares not come, then he really looks down on him, but if he comes, he dares not enter this door, he can understand that Luo Yaozu's identity is unknown, and he is indeed not suitable to appear at this time to avoid others paying attention and targeting him.

He has his concerns and considerations, which is also human nature.

Meng Hao rushed out of the door.

I happened to see Alai launching the car and leaving Luo Yaozu with him. In an instant, he recognized Luo Yaozu, and Luo Yaozu also recognized him.

However, no one made a sound and the car did not stop.

"Master Hao, a gentleman named Luo asked me to hand it over to you just now." Policeman Annan, who was standing guard at the door, handed over a burden.

"Is it the one who cared you just now?" Meng Hao asked after taking a deep breath.

"Yes." Policeman Annan nodded.

"Thank you." Meng Hao took the bag, reached out to patrol Patrol Annan on the shoulder, and then went in with the bag.

"Xiaohao, have you seen someone?" Seeing Meng Hao coming in with a bag in his hand, he looked a little depressed. As his sister, Meng Fanxing asked with concern.

"Sister, do you and your brother-in-law already know?" Meng Hao looked up, first glanced at Meng Fanxing, then turned around, and met Lu Xiyan's gaze.

Lu Xiyan nodded: "Actually, we just found out that it was not long ago."

"Have you seen him?" Meng Hao asked.

"I've seen it, your sister hasn't." Lu Xiyan replied.

"Xiaohao, why didn't he come in?" Meng Fanxing asked in confusion. She had no good feelings for this uncle, but she couldn't say she was angry. She just knew that her mother had such a blood-related relative who had been missing for many years and thought that he had long been buried in a foreign land.

"I didn't see him, I just saw him sitting in the car and leaving in front of me. Then, this was what he asked the guards at our door to me." Meng Hao explained.

"What?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen it yet." Meng Hao shook his head.

Meng Fanxing took it over and untied the slip knot on the bag. There was another layer inside. When he opened it, he saw it. It was a pair of exquisitely crafted tiger-head shoes, longevity locks, and pure gold.

The tiger-head shoes are new, but the long-lived lock is old, and it looks like an old object.

There is also a letter.
