Chapter 444: The Test from Shen Baihe
After giving the bracelet away, Lu Feng sat next to Shen Suyuan.
Since Shen Muyun had already told Shen Baihe all the news about him, Shen Baihe didn't ask too many questions.
After all, he returned to the Shen family this time just to see what his precious granddaughter's boyfriend looked like and whether he was worthy of Shen Suyuan.
After the initial test, Lu Feng successfully passed his test and performed perfectly in all aspects.
This made him feel more at ease.
In fact, he knew it on the first day Lu Feng came, but at that time he had no time because he needed to recuperate, so he delayed it until now.
Because of his poor health, Shen Baihe has actually been living in Guanshui Mountain for recuperation in the past few years, and has not lived in Shen Garden.
Although the Shen family is one of the four major families, there are no supporting medical facilities in Shen Garden.
But Guanshuishan is different. The people living there are current and retired high-ranking officials, and the lowest one is the provincial leader. It has the most advanced medical equipment, so if anything happens, you can get treatment in the shortest time.
In the hall, Lu Feng chatted with Shen Baihe for a while, and then was dragged by him to the back garden to play chess and drink tea.
Shen Muyun looked at Lu Feng's back and took several breaths.
Ever since he knew that Lu Feng had tricked Shen Suyuan into not coming back all night, he had made up his mind to give him a hard time when they met.
As a result, when the two met today, before he could say much, his right to speak was taken away by his father Shen Baihe, resulting in him not being able to say much.
After waiting for the conversation to end, the old man simply pulled Lu Feng away without giving him a chance to speak, which made him very frustrated.
Shen Suyuan, who was standing by, saw her father's gloomy face, stuck out her tongue, and ran away.
She is not stupid. Looking at the current situation, Shen Muyun must be angry. If she stays here at this time, wouldn't that be courting death?
In the back garden, there is an antique stone table with an exquisite Go set on it.
Shen Baihe and Lu Feng sat opposite each other, the sunlight shining through the gaps between the leaves, and mottled light and shadows swayed on their bodies.
Shen Baihe picked up a chess piece, put it down gently, and said, "This chessboard is like the world. Every move is related to the overall situation. When people are in the game, they are often confused by the immediate interests and forget the long-term plans." He looked at Lu Feng deeply, as if testing him.
Lu Feng smiled faintly and calmly placed a move as well, responding, "Grandpa, you're absolutely right. But in my opinion, as long as you have a firm mindset, no matter how the situation changes, you can stick to your heart and not be blinded by the fog of the moment. Although each step may seem random, it is actually a carefully considered decision."
Shen Baihe nodded slightly and chuckled, "In this world, power and wealth are like fleeting clouds. Some people spend their entire lives chasing them, only to find themselves losing the most precious things in the end. Do you know what that most precious thing is?"
Lu Feng's eyes were clear as he spoke calmly, "I believe that the most precious thing is not power and wealth, but the friendship and responsibility in one's heart. Whether it's family, friends, or lovers, one should protect them with all their heart and soul, and not be swayed by external things."
Shen Baihe paused, his hand gripping the chess piece, a look of admiration in his eyes. He continued, "On this chessboard, only by advancing and retreating can one remain invincible. The same is true in life, but how do you grasp this balance between advance and retreat?"
Lu Feng pondered for a moment and answered seriously, "Advance requires courage, retreat requires wisdom. When opportunities arise, one should go all out and bravely move forward. When faced with difficulties, retreating at the right time is not cowardice, but rather a way to better accumulate strength for a future rise."
Shen Baihe looked at Lu Feng and burst into laughter, his laughter echoing in the garden.
He felt more and more that the young man in front of him was extraordinary. His quick thinking and calmness of mind far exceeded those of his peers.
Every time they spoke, she was able to understand the profound meaning of his words and give a satisfactory answer.
Just as Shen Baihe was laughing, Shen Suyuan happened to come to the back garden.
It can't be said to be a coincidence. In fact, Shen Suyuan was afraid that her grandfather would put pressure on Lu Feng, so she was worried and came here on purpose.
When Shen Baihe saw his granddaughter coming, the smile on his face became even more intense. He looked at Lu Feng and said in a serious but loving tone:
"Boy, Xiao Yuan has been cherished by us since she was little. Today, I'm telling you, you must treat Xiao Yuan well. If she suffers any injustice, I will not let you off easily."
Upon hearing this, Lu Feng immediately stood up and said solemnly, "Grandpa, don't worry. I, Lu Feng, swear here that I will treat Xiao Yuan wholeheartedly and will never let her down. I will take her joys and sorrows to heart and care about her in every way."
Hearing this, Shen Baihe nodded with satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Shen Suyuan and said jokingly:
"Xiao Yuan, this boy is truly devoted to you. You must keep a close eye on him and don't let him be blinded by the flowers and plants outside."
Shen Suyuan's face flushed instantly. She glanced at Grandpa with a reproachful look and muttered softly, "Grandpa, what are you talking about?"
That shy look is as beautiful as the peach blossoms blooming in spring.
Her eyes unconsciously drifted towards Lu Feng, and their eyes met, with endless tenderness and love in both of their eyes.
Looking at the affectionate expressions of the two, Shen Baihe breathed a sigh of relief.
Since there are no male heirs in this generation of the Shen family, many people want to use Shen Suyuan as a loophole to annex the Shen family.
He and Shen Muyun were not afraid that the Shen family's business would be swallowed up. After all, as one of the four major families, their methods were not just those that were exposed on the surface.
They were mainly worried that some people would approach Shen Suyuan with ulterior motives and hurt Shen Suyuan's feelings.
From the current point of view, Lu Feng is indeed not coming for the Shen family's property, he really loves Shen Suyuan.
"Boy, don't say that I, your grandfather, didn't remind you. Tomorrow is Xiaoyuan's birthday, and the Shen family has decided to prepare a birthday party for her."
"By that time, most of the powerful people in the imperial capital will be here, including Xiao Yuan's suitors. You must be mentally prepared."
Hearing this, Lu Feng nodded very seriously.
Before coming to the imperial capital, he had already prepared himself mentally.
The most beautiful woman in the imperial capital, and the daughter of the Shen family, how could it be so easy to have her?
Although he now has Shen Suyuan, this does not mean that those suitors will give up.
On the contrary, after knowing that Shen Suyuan's boyfriend is him, these people will definitely target him, and it would be best if he could be embarrassed at this birthday dinner.
