but...
He was also despicable, feeling that he had at least won against Yan Heqing once.
This is wrong, he told himself, but he couldn't stop his dark thoughts.
Yan Heqing was too outstanding, so outstanding that he felt ashamed of himself. He just wanted to be able to beat Yan Heqing in the slightest.
Now I just hope Yan Heqing didn't agree.
This was the best outcome he had envisioned.
Suddenly, a chorus of " President Lu " came from behind.
A faint scent of cedar drifted in on the cool breeze.
Lin Fengzhi's breathing became tense.
It's Uncle Lu!
Lu Muchi also looked over at this moment, and when he caught sight of Lin Fengzhi, he frowned slightly.
Lin Fengzhi his breath. As the footsteps drew closer, he turned around, his face beaming with excitement, "Uncle Lu—"
Lu Lin walked straight past.
Several people were talking to Lu Lin when one of them bumped into Lin Fengzhi without noticing. He turned around, said "Sorry, sorry," and quickly left.
Lin Fengzhi was bumped to the side, but his gaze remained fixed on Lu Lin.
A strong sense of frustration and grievance.
Uncle Lu... how come he doesn't remember him at all?!
Lin Fengyi was almost at the villa entrance when Lin Fengzhi, who hadn't followed, turned around and saw Lin Fengzhi behind him.
He glanced at it casually, showing no surprise.
Lu Lin will naturally attend the banquet celebrating the discharge of the Lu Family patriarch from the hospital.
At this moment, Lu Lin looked at Lin Fengyi.
Their eyes met, Lin Fengyi felt a pang of doubt. He had only seen Lu Lin once at Xie Yunjie's bachelor party Lu Lin, a busy man aloof from the crowd, probably wouldn't have time to remember him, would he?
Thinking of that party, Lin Fengyi couldn't help but think of Yan Heqing again.
Grass.
These past few days, he keeps thinking about Yan Heqing with the eyes on top of his head.
What exactly makes Yan Heqing look down on him?!
He should look down on him, right?
Composing himself, Lin Fengyi forced a smile. " President Lu, I am Lin Fengyi."
Lu Lin nodded, withdrew his gaze, and entered the villa.
Chapter 58
The banquet will begin at 5 p. m.
The entire Lu residence was brightly lit, and the banquet hall was set with ten large round solid wood tables.
The guests were taken to their seats one by one.
The Lin Family was seated in the far corner, some distance from the main table.
Lin Fengzhi unhappy and poked at his rice with his chopsticks. Suddenly, he blinked and looked toward the entrance of the banquet hall.
The beautiful woman who had just been chatting and laughing with Lu Muchi in the garden was now intimately arm in arm with Lu Changcheng as they walked toward the head table.
Qi Xuehong helped Lu Changcheng to his seat. Lu Changcheng was very satisfied and said in an exceptionally affectionate tone, " Xuehong, sit next to me."
Qi Xuehong smiled broadly, "Okay, Grandpa Lu."
On Lu Changcheng's other side was Lu Lin. This was Qi Xuehong's first time meeting Lu Lin. The man was imposing and stern, with a great deal of distance between him and Lu Muchi.
She actually preferred Lu Lin's type, with his mature and masculine charm. However, since even the daughter of the top socialite Jiang Family family didn't catch Lu Lin's eye, she decided not to bother him.
The sisters gossiped privately, saying that perhaps this powerful figure in the Lu Group liked men.
However, to this day, there has never been any scandal involving Lu Lin.
Lu Lin wasn't just high up on a mountain peak, but above the clouds. It's hard to imagine what kind of person such a man would fall in love with.
Qi Xuehong greeted Lu Lin politely, "Good evening, President Lu. I am Qi Xuehong."
"Don't call me President Lu," Lu Changcheng said affectionately. "Just like Mu Chi, call me Uncle."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the head table knew.
This means the granddaughter-in-law has been chosen.
Qi's father and Lu Han exchanged a smile and clinked their glasses.
Qi Xuehong, poised and confident, changed her address to, "Hello, Uncle."
She currently has a good impression of Lu Muchi, though she can't say she likes him yet. However, among all the potential marriage partners, Lu Muchi undoubtedly best meets her requirements.
Lu Lin nodded slightly in response.
Lu Muchi was very unhappy, but he was helpless against his grandfather. He took out his phone and couldn't help but send a message to Yan Heqing.
Have you eaten? I'm eating.
He didn't expect Yan Heqing to reply; he was used to it.
So much so that when the reply popped up, he was in a daze for a few seconds before he managed to suppress his excitement and click on it.
For the first time, I felt my heart tremble with excitement over a single text message.
Click to open.
Three words.
[I know.]
Lu Muchi could already picture Yan Heqing's fingers typing a reply in his mind.
Her neatly trimmed nails gleamed like jade as she typed quietly.
Lu Changcheng seemed to be speaking across from him, but Lu Muchi paid no attention and hurriedly replied to Yan Heqing, "[You know I'm eating?]"
Before the second sentence, "[You care about me so much]," was even sent, Yan Heqing replied again.
The moment Lu Muchi heard Lu Changcheng's words, his heart skipped a beat.
Lu Changcheng said, "I have some great news to announce today: my Mu Chi and Xuehong will be getting engaged next month."
Yan Heqing replied to him.
I'm at your house.
In the deserted corridor, Yan Heqing held a plate of seafood fried rice, which was the kitchen helper's dinner.
Yan Heqing's eyes were clearly uncomfortable; he still couldn't get used to wearing colored contact lenses.
He lowered his eyelashes, leaned his back lightly against the wall, and scooped up a spoonful of fried rice.
The ingredients are plentiful, including many seafood items that Yan Heqing had only seen in encyclopedias.
The shrimp meat was made from leftover deep-sea blue lobster from a banquet, and the pineapple was a pink color I'd never seen before.
Both are fresh and sweet.
Yan Heqing, however, longed for that dish of fried dough sticks, pineapple, and shrimp.
It was the most delicious thing in his memory, besides mint and mung bean soup.
Buzz.
My phone rang.
Yan Heqing turned off the phone, put it back in his pocket, and ate quietly.
Perhaps it was the familiar shutdown notification that prompted Lu Muchi to grab his phone and head to find Yan Heqing.
If you can see him eating, then he must have heard his grandfather telling him to get engaged!
He was completely wronged; he had no prior knowledge of this ridiculous engagement!
