Lu Xingzhi’s first reaction upon receiving the call was actually: See, you really shouldn’t talk about people during the day.
Having just mentioned Bertrand, he made an international call.
Her second reaction was: "Brother? Your nephew? Do you want me to pick him up?"
"That’s right, why don’t you two get to know each other! Or you might find him more charming than your man." Bertrand joked.
"Teacher, you shouldn’t say that. I really like my fiancé, I want to spend a lifetime with him."
"You’re still young, Little Angel. Men can be no good, you should meet more men to know who is truly suitable." Bertrand had apparently forgotten that he was a man himself.
As for Lu Xingzhi, even though they had only met twice, he valued her greatly.
Completely like a concerned father.
Fathers never seem to like the men their daughters fancy.
"Teacher, you’re also a man." Lu Xingzhi reminded him.
"That’s why I’m not a good man either," Bertrand never denied this.
Lu Xingzhi: "Since you said it yourself, I won’t argue with you then."
"Have you been practicing the piano diligently?" Bertrand wouldn’t forget the real business.
"Yes, the two pieces you gave me, I practice them every day," Lu Xingzhi said obediently.
"I believe in you." Bertrand added, "You shouldn’t slack off, but don’t push yourself too hard either. Rest when you need to. When you’re free, go out and have some fun, or develop other hobbies."
Bertrand wasn’t opposed to these; he had many other hobbies besides the piano.
"I know." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel-fire.ɴet
After giving Lu Xingzhi some more advice, the two finally ended the call.
Lu Xingzhi really didn’t know how to thank Bertrand enough. He was an internationally acclaimed musician, personally welcomed by presidents from various countries, who came to Hua Country for a concert because of her.
Well then, she’d better greet his nephew properly!
In the evening, when Huo Jincheng returned, Lu Xingzhi told him about this.
"You’re going to pick him up?" Huo Jincheng couldn’t let Lu Xingzhi go alone, but he had an important meeting tomorrow that he needed to attend in person.
"Yeah! The teacher’s nephew, I should pick him up." Lu Xingzhi said, "Besides, the teacher said Edmond is responsible for everything concerning him in Hua Country."
"I’ll have Wei Yang accompany you."
"No need, Wei Yang is your assistant; it would be overqualified for him to follow me. Having Ah Si is enough." Lu Xingzhi initially thought Ah Si was just a driver.
Later she found out, Ah Si also served as a bodyguard.
Not only that, he also had a high level of education.
Lu Xingzhi was wondering if the requirements for a driver were this high nowadays?
"Sounds good. Having Ah Si with you makes me feel more at ease."
It was only after meeting Edmond that Huo Jincheng regretted saying that.
Knowing the exact time Edmond would arrive, the next day Lu Xingzhi got to the airport early.
Upon hearing the flight from France to the Capital City had arrived, she waited there.
Bertrand had said Edmond would have her contact information and would reach out once he arrived. About twenty minutes later, a young foreign gentleman stood beside Lu Xingzhi.
"Hello, I’m Edmond. Are you the Little Angel my uncle spoke of?" Edmond recognized Lu Xingzhi immediately.
