Having freshened up, the two arrived at the Lu Family residence.
The Lu Family also lived in a courtyard house—a renovated three-entry quadrangle—that was quite large.
Seeing this courtyard, Ji Yang knew that the Lu Family's power and wealth must be considerable.
The person who came out to greet them was a beautiful middle-aged woman whom Chu Shuyuan addressed as Sister Yu.
When the woman looked at Ji Yang with a smile she said, "I had always heard that Mayor Ji was young, but I never imagined he would be such a handsome man." As she spoke, she glanced at Chu Shuyuan, clearly aware of some matters concerning her and Ji Yang.
Chu Shuyuan said, "Let's go see Uncle Lu first."
This form of address was somewhat chaotic!
Ji Yang didn't bother with these formalities and followed them inside.
Upon entering the backyard, Ji Yang could smell the strong scent of traditional Chinese medicine.
