Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 337 Old Besties

Today, his girl is celebrating her 18th birthday.

After today, if she dares to tease him again, he won’t be so polite...

Lu Zechuan’s mind was wildly daydreaming, his face turning even redder, and he nearly scalded his hand while serving the soup.

During the meal, Xia Mian noticed Lu Zechuan’s ears turning red and couldn’t help but be curious, "What’s wrong with your face?"

Could he have a fever?

It can’t be!

They are almost like semi-immortals, and they shouldn’t be affected by common worldly illnesses anymore.

Lu Zechuan hurriedly found an excuse, "I got steamed by the hot air while cooking just now."

Xia Mian obviously didn’t believe this lame excuse, but she didn’t press the matter further.

"Let me serve you some soup." Lu Zechuan picked up the bowl and served Xia Mian a bowl of soup.

When Lu Zechuan was young, he always clashed with Shen Man and got into trouble, which developed his independent nature and led him to become quite a good cook.

Xia Mian took a spoonful of Lu Zechuan’s brewed soup, tasted it lightly. It was fragrant and not greasy, with a lingering aftertaste.

"I didn’t expect Young Master Lu to be a chef as well!" Xia Mian teased.

Lu Zechuan stared intensely at Xia Mian’s charming and lovely face, "There are many things you wouldn’t expect!"

Xia Mian smiled, "Like what?"

Lu Zechuan’s eyes were clouded, his voice hoarse, "Silly girl, digging into the roots isn’t a good habit."

A smile spread from Lu Zechuan’s thin lips, and the table was instantly filled with a pampering atmosphere.

Xia Mian nodded in agreement, "Alright."

She didn’t ask further and focused on eating.

After dinner, the two went to the supermarket, bought some gifts, and then returned together to the Lu Family’s old house.

Upon arriving at the Lu Family’s old house, they got out of the car and heard bursts of happy laughter coming from the villa.

"Xu Yi, it’s been a while, and you’re looking younger and younger!" The straightforward compliment drifted into Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan’s ears.

Lu Zechuan’s expression shifted slightly, how many years had it been since someone dared to call Mrs. Lu by name!

Today was rather fresh, with someone directly addressing Mrs. Lu by her name?

Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian walked into the villa side by side, and Uncle Sun immediately came to greet them, preparing slippers for the two and taking the gifts they brought.

Then he fussed over Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian, asking them about everything.

It left Lu Zechuan a bit dazed, wondering why Uncle Sun seemed a bit unusual today.

As Lu Zechuan wore a face full of suspicion, Uncle Sun rubbed his hands and spoke, "Young Master, after eating that fruit last time, my chronic illness was all cured... My wife found it strange, so I told her about the fruit you gave me to eat."

Lu Zechuan suddenly understood, is Sister-in-law Sun also wanting to eat the fruit they brought?

"My wife’s nephew had polio since childhood and never got better. Now he’s in his twenties and still living with his parents..." Uncle Sun’s voice was full of empathy for his wife’s family.

Uncle Sun revealed his intention, hoping for another fruit for his wife’s nephew.

To Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian, those fruits were just tasty, and they never noticed any other effects.

But now Uncle Sun told them that these fruits were like ginsengfruit!

"It’s just a fruit, Uncle Sun. If you want one, you can get it from the place where Lu Zechuan and I live." Xia Mian was not stingy at all.

"However, I must say, the fruit can only be beneficial to one’s health and not cure diseases." Xia Mian gave Uncle Sun a serious look.

Uncle Sun is a good man, and today he came humbly to ask for fruit, not for himself.

So Xia Mian didn’t want him to be disappointed.

She had to state things upfront.

Hearing Xia Mian’s words, Uncle Sun was visibly stunned.

The fruit couldn’t really cure diseases?

"Uncle Sun, if you trust me, you can bring Sister-in-law Zhang’s nephew over for me to take a look." Xia Mian smiled slightly at Uncle Sun. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Uncle Sun responded immediately, "Of course, I trust Miss Xia!"

Although the stories about Xia Mian hadn’t spread widely in Beijing, how could he, as Lu Zechuan’s most dependable assistant, not know about the things Xia Mian had done!

The head of the Ji Family have been in a wheelchair for so many years, and wasn’t he healed by Xia Mian!

If Xia Mian was willing to help, then it was highly likely his wife’s nephew could walk again!

"Then, Uncle Sun, please make arrangements as soon as possible!" Xia Mian smiled at Uncle Sun.

After all, she was carrying many responsibilities now and wasn’t always in the current world.

Uncle Sun nodded promptly.

Just as Uncle Sun retreated, Mrs. Lu was already calling out to Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan, "Ah Chuan, Mianmian, come on over!"

Lu Zechuan held Xia Mian’s hand and boldly walked over to Mrs. Lu.

On the sofa in the Lu Family’s old villa sat two elderly women about the same age as Mrs. Lu.

"Oh my, Xu Yi, is this your future granddaughter-in-law? She’s as pretty as a fairy in a painting!" The cheerful woman who had complimented Mrs. Lu earlier was now lavishly praising Xia Mian.

Mrs. Lu smiled with pride, "Yes, the last time the two kids got engaged, you two old things didn’t come. Now that you’re back, didn’t you prepare a big gift for my dear granddaughter-in-law?"

These two older women were Mrs. Lu’s girlfriends from her younger days, but as they each married and started families, their relationships gradually drifted apart.

Unlike Mrs. Lu, one pursued an art path, while the other followed academia.

Now, one is a venerable old artist at a national level, and the other is a big name in the Social Research Institute.

Today was a special day, and the two had agreed to visit their old friend at the Lu Family’s house.

After all, rumors about Mrs. Lu’s declining health had been circulating. They didn’t expect her, rumored to be critically ill and nearing death, to be not only free of illness but rather energetic, even better than their own health!

"Look at you, as if we’d forget to bring gifts for your family’s younger generation?" The old artist Yu Wenxin playfully rolled her eyes at Mrs. Lu and casually pulled out a finely crafted rectangular gift box from her bag.

Yu Wenxin handed the box to Xia Mian, smiling as she said, "Young girl, I’m an old friend of Ah Chuan’s grandma. This is a landscape painting I personally drew. Don’t think too little of it."

Xia Mian accepted the gift box with a smile, "Thank you."

Although in Xia Mian’s eyes, so-called artists might not necessarily be at a higher level than her, the personal touch in the drawing was a thoughtful gesture, and she appreciated it.
