Luan Yan said that her schedule in the second half of the year was full, which was the truth.
She had just accepted a music variety show, which was recommended by a music producer she had worked with before. The production team in the show was the best in the industry, and many of them were her acquaintances.
This variety show was newly launched by the TV station and was not well-known. Music programs are not as popular as before, so whether it can be popular is a question. The price offered is not as high as "Love Story". If she wants to be famous, she can accept Sister Zhao's invitation. From the perspective of marketing, investment, popularity, and appearance fees, Sister Zhao's program is more cost-effective.
But Luan Yan did not forget that she was a famous singer. She was initially liked because of her own musical charm. She could not put the cart before the horse.
After returning to the capital, Luan Yan and Lu Sheng did not spend as much time together. They both had their own jobs. In addition to the tattoo shop to take care of, Lu Sheng also owned several restaurants. His family used to be in the catering business. After moving out of the old street, they were preparing to expand the scale, but his parents fell ill one after another, so they had to sell the store.
After he had the ability, he opened a restaurant and ran it very well. After he became popular on the Internet, a series of business cooperation came to him, including joining the restaurant.
Tattooing is a technical job. They follow the original design route. The price is high but the service is good. Unlike restaurants, there is a fixed set of models and no superb technology is required. These people made him realize that the restaurant business can be bigger. He did not plan to make a quick buck and then leave. This store was also his father's dream. He must treat it well and think carefully about the future plan.
As soon as they returned to the capital, the two were very busy. These days, Song A Ling was eager to see her brother Lu come to the store, but she didn't see her gossip fire burn to ashes.
However, she waited for Lu Sheng's call! ńρ3ρ.ⓒǒм（np3p.com）
When the words "Brother Lu" appeared on the screen, Song A-ling suspected that she was hallucinating. Her hands were faster than her brain, and she immediately picked up the phone and said, "Brother Lu! Why did you think of calling me? Is Sister Yanyan with you?"
He asked about Yanyan right away. It would be strange if Lu Sheng answered her. His main purpose of calling was to propose.
Lu Sheng had also seen some proposals, all of which were exaggerated and eye-catching. Luan Yan was not a person who liked to be high-profile, and her identity was a star, so those plans were not reliable. There were not many women around him, only Song A-ling, so he could only ask her.
"I want to ask you, what kind of proposal do you girls prefer?"
Song A-ling: "!!!"
Lu Sheng just finished speaking when he heard a scream from the other end of the phone. The devilish sound was piercing his ears. He could still hear Song A-ling's manly laughter even when he held the phone far away: "Brother Lu, Brother Lu, Brother Lu! Are you going to propose to Sister Yanyan? Is my goddess pregnant? Is she pregnant? Otherwise, why are you so anxious! Tell me quickly!"
Lu Sheng said with a look of disgust: "No, you talk about the proposal first. How can you propose in a low-key and romantic way, and make her agree 100%?"
"Oh! Propose..." Song A-ling finally returned to normal. After thinking for a while, she said: "It's not easy to propose. You ask her out and get some good friends together. We will help you decorate the scene. When she arrives, you hold the flowers and the ring and kneel on one knee in front of your relatives and friends. How romantic!"
"Old-fashioned." Lu Sheng rejected it with two words.
Song A-ling made this suggestion, of course, because she was there to see the proposal of her favorite couple with her own eyes. How happy she would be!
She tried to persuade him, "Please believe me, Brother Lu! This method is absolutely good, really, really, Sister Yanyan will definitely like it. Besides, as long as you ask, she will definitely agree 100%, no need to say that!"
Just for her last sentence, Lu Sheng was happy, not caring about her previous clamor, and said, "I'll think about it."
Lu Sheng hung up the phone.
Song A Ling had prepared a lot of words, but before she could burst out like a machine gun, she was hung up. She was immediately discouraged, staring at the screen for a long time, opened Weibo, edited a content and sent it out.
The world's first beauty: lying down and official announcement! (Maybe directly get a marriage certificate)
Lu Sheng called Song A Ling on the street. He was on his way to the supermarket. Sister Xia repeatedly warned him not to spoil Luan Yan and let her eat. Lu Sheng understood Sister Xia's good intentions, but he still couldn't help feeding Luan Yan.
A black car suddenly braked near him, and Lu Sheng stopped. It didn't matter what brand the car was, the key was the license plate number. One could tell at a glance that the owner was either rich or noble, and that he was coming for him.
The car window rolled down, and a man in a suit and leather shoes was sitting on the passenger seat. He was about thirty years old, dressed like an industry elite, and said politely, "Hello, Mr. Lu, our Chairman Luan invites you to his home, please get in the car."
Luan... Chairman, Luan Suqing.
Lu Sheng understood that this was inevitable. Sooner or later, he would have to meet Luan Yan's mother. As long as he wanted to marry Luan Yan, he had to pass this level.
Lu Sheng opened the car door and got in. He was neither panic-stricken, nor frivolous and arrogant, thinking that he had climbed up the ladder. He didn't say much during the whole process, didn't ask where he was going, and just sat in the back seat in silence with a proper attitude. The assistant looked at him a few times and had a good impression of him. No wonder the young lady liked him.
The car drove into the villa area in the western suburbs where the rich gathered. Luan Suqing liked quietness, and there were almost no servants in the villa. The decoration style was elegant and Chinese courtyard style. There were several flowers and trees planted in the courtyard. It took a long corridor to reach the main hall.
"Mr. Lu is here." The assistant said.
Surprisingly, in addition to Luan Suqing who invited him, there was another person in the hall, Xi Shangchen...
Xi Shangchen was also stunned when he saw Lu Sheng. He and Lu Sheng might be brothers-in-law in the future. How could they meet in Luan's house... and in front of Luan Suqing.
It was not that Luan Suqing did it deliberately, it was completely a coincidence. She made an appointment with Xi Shangchen in the afternoon. The original schedule was that after meeting Xi Shangchen, the assistant would bring Lu Sheng. There was no problem with the schedule, and the assistant strictly followed it. The problem was that Xi Shangchen refused to leave after the chat, and kept asking him about his wedding with Luan Ran.
Luan Suqing was still puzzled. She hadn't heard that Guanghao was short of money recently. He had just gotten engaged, so why was he so anxious about the marriage?
Xi Shangchen's eyes moved around Lu Sheng. He was invited by Luan Suqing's assistant, not brought back by Luan Yan, so it was not a normal meeting with the parents. His "brother-in-law" was in danger.
Xi Shangchen smiled at Lu Sheng, looking very friendly. Lu Sheng and Luan Yan had earned a lot of money and popularity for Guanghao during this period. Advertisers for "Love Story" lined up in a long line. Just for this reason, Xi Shangchen had to be nice to him.
Xi Shangchen said, "Aunt, since you have something else to do, I won't bother you. Let's talk another day."
"Show the guest away and bring another cup of tea." Luan Suqing's attitude towards Lu Sheng was still unclear, and she nodded coldly, "Sit down."
Lu Sheng sat down, his face was neither humble nor arrogant, his eyes were impartial, he did not put himself in an inferior position, nor was he rude or aggressive, he was polite as if he was a guest at the Luan family, and Luan Suqing was just an ordinary elder, nothing special.
Lu Sheng said politely, "I wanted to come to see Aunt Luan before, but I was in a hurry this time and didn't have time to prepare a gift. I was inconsiderate, I hope Aunt will not blame me."
Xi Shangchen didn't know what Lu Sheng said afterwards. He had already walked out of Luan's house and called Luan Ran as soon as he got in the car.
After N rings, the other end was picked up. Luan Ran was so sleepy that she said impatiently: "Who is it? If you have something to say, just say it. If not, hang up."
He was rejected before he could say anything. Should he thank her for being confused? Otherwise, she might not answer his call. Xi Shangchen sighed in his heart: "Yes, your cheap brother-in-law was invited to have tea by your mother. He is at your house now."
