“Lu Miao, are you hungry? The kitchen is preparing food. Would you like some fruit for now?”

Mrs. Fu held onto Lu Miao’s hand, growing fonder of the young girl with each passing moment.

Lu Miao felt overwhelmed by her warmth and almost couldn’t resist. She glanced at Fu Jing Shen and he quickly came to her rescue, “Mom, Lu Miao just had breakfast.”

“Thank you, Auntie,” Lu Miao politely replied, then turned to Old Master Fu, “Old Master. Fu, do you think there’s an issue with the house? I’d like to take a look first.”

“Cough, cough.” Old Master Fu cleared his throat twice, “Recently, I’ve been having trouble sleeping at home. I feel like there might be some problem somewhere.”

Fu Jing Shen couldn’t help but facepalm at his response. He thought Old Master Fu had used some trick to invite Lu Miao over, but it turned out to be deception as well.

Lu Miao stood up and carefully looked around the living room. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The more she looked, the more her brow furrowed. Fu Jing Shen became increasingly anxious. Could there really be a problem?

“What is it? Do you see something wrong?” Fu Jing Shen and Old Master Fu both turned to her.

After yesterday’s incident, everyone in the Fu family had absolute trust in Lu Miao.

Lu Miao remained silent, just frowning, then she spoke, “May I check each room upstairs?”

“Of course,” Old Master Fu replied.

Fu Jing Shen immediately led her upstairs. At the staircase, there was a bonsai, and when Lu Miao saw it, she stopped in her tracks, staring at it for a while. Fu Jing Shen’s heart skipped a beat, wondering if there was really an issue.

“How is it? Do you see anything wrong?” Old Master Fu and Mrs. Fu also turned their heads to look at her.

After walking through all the rooms, stopping multiple times along the way, both Fu Jing Shen and Old Master Fu were on edge.

When they reached Old Master’s room, Lu Miao finally spoke, pointing to a seashell wind chime by the window, “Who gave this to you?”

Fu Jing Shen immediately grew nervous, “My mom likes wind chimes, and I bought it for her. Has someone tampered with it?”

Old Master Fu also furrowed his brow as he looked at it.

Lu Miao raised her hand and lightly tapped the wind chime, producing a clear and melodious sound.

She then spoke in a serene tone, “No, the wind chime is beautiful. I like it and just wanted to buy one for myself.”

Fu Jing Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

Old Master Fu realized what was happening. Lu Miao had seen through his attempt to deceive her into coming over and was now playing with their emotions.

If there were truly an issue, with her abilities, she would have discovered it the moment she entered the house.

With a wry smile, he shook his head. This little girl could hold a grudge.

But in front of his status, forget just deceiving her into coming, even if he truly tricked her, who would dare to say anything?

Lu Miao had the courage, retaliating on the spot when she felt wronged. She was not afraid of his identity at all.

Fu Jing Shen finally regained his senses and said, “You’re deliberately teasing us, aren’t you, Lu Miao?”

Lu Miao arched an eyebrow, “Oh? You can deceive and trick me, but I can’t fight back?”

Old Master Fu burst into laughter, “This time, it’s my fault. I just wanted to get closer to you. I apologize to you.”

For Old Master Fu to take the initiative and apologize to a little girl, if this were to be known, it would probably shock the entire nation.

The group returned downstairs. Apart from wanting to spend more time with Lu Miao, Old Master Fu did have an important matter to discuss.

The urban planning for the South City New Area had been done by a design team from Country R. Before the completion of the new area, no issues were found. However, after the completion, various accidents occurred continuously, and even well-managed companies faced financial crises upon moving to the new area. Now, the entire South City’s economy seemed to be affected.

As a key first-tier city in the country, this issue naturally received significant attention from higher-ups.

The problem had just been reported to Old Master Fu yesterday.

Lu Miao immediately went online and searched for the city’s planning map and three-dimensional topographic map of the surroundings.

She pointed directly at one of the buildings, “The building has a blade-like shape. Under the morning sun, its shadow falls on the surrounding city like a blade severing the city’s lifeline. Once the lifeline is cut, the entire city falls apart. Build another tall building southwest of it with a design resembling a pagoda, it can neutralize the effect.”

Old Master Fu immediately raised his head to Fu Jing Shen, “Call someone immediately to make the changes.”

Fu Jing Shen nodded and left to make the call.

“We have a long-standing feud with Country R. It’s quite interesting to have them handle such an important matter as city planning,” Lu Miao remarked casually.

“Well, the house has been lived in for a long time, and there are too many pests. It’s time for a thorough cleaning,” Old Master Fu replied with a smile.

Mrs. Fu had just come in from outside and heard this. She glared at him with a touch of annoyance, ‘You’re planning to have her clean the house for you when Lu Miao has done you such a huge favor? Don’t you have any conscience?”

She then pulled Lu Miao’s hand and walked out of the study, “Lu Miao, let’s go outside. Let’s not pay attention to him.”

Lu Miao had no choice but to follow Mrs. Fu to the small garden outside.

The Fu family’s residence was a traditional Chinese quadrangle courtyard, and after living in the villa for a long time, it had a unique charm.

Seeing Lu Miao’s fondness for it, Mrs. Fu said, “The neighboring courtyard is vacant. I’ll have it transferred to your name later.”

“Thank you, Auntie, but there’s really no need. I don’t come to the capital often, so I don’t need a house,” Lu Miao politely declined.

Mrs. Fu smiled and tapped her forehead, “Silly girl, just take it. You saved my husband twice; it’s just a small courtyard. He’s getting away too easily. He’s an old stubborn man, always thinking about making contributions for the country and the people. You should take better care of yourself. This courtyard may not be big, but it’s the safest place in the entire country.

Mrs. Fu’s words were heartfelt, genuinely considering Lu Miao’s well-being.

Lu Miao wasn’t ungrateful. She nodded and sincerely thanked her as she accepted the courtyard.

“That’s right, a girl should think about herself. Take his gratitude gifts without hesitation,” Mrs. Fu said heartily.

She kept Lu Miao company for a long time, and after lunch, when Lu Miao was about to leave, Mrs. Fu reluctantly held her hand, “Lu Miao, I’ll have someone take care of the house. You must come here often.”

The connection between people is quite magical. Although it was their first meeting, Mrs. Fu grew fonder of Lu Miao as time passed..
