Qin Fang was completely baffled by the situation at hand.
Did the Lu family want Yu Shu as their granddaughter-in-law, but Brother Cheng chose Gu Mang instead? Things aren’t settled between the two sides yet? Then again, the Lu family doesn’t know much about Gu Mang, so it’s only natural for them to choose Yu Shu.
He Yidu turned towards Lu Chengzhou and said quietly, “Brother Cheng?”
When Yu Shu noticed how He Yidu and the gang, who were on Gu Mang’s side, dared not to make a peep, she became increasingly certain that the Lu family had not approved of Lu Chengzhou’s and Gu Mang’s relationship. Her father would have heard the news if they had really approved of Gu Mang. Not to mention, anyone with a brain would surely know who to choose between Gu Mang and her.
Instantly, her confidence flared up once again.
“Real fiancée?” repeated Lu Chengzhou lightly as he gave her a cold look.
When she met his gaze, her heart started thumping uncontrollably. She felt somewhat stifled and did not make any response.
Qin Fang and He Yidu understood what was going on right away. The truth was different from what they thought.
Lu Chengzhou shifted his eyes away from her to the group of socialites instead. Lifting his chin, he asked in a voice that sent shivers down their spines, “Who said that she was my fiancée?”
Yue Qing tensed up as she mustered her courage to speak up. “Isn’t that so? Everyone in the capital knows it.”
Lu Chengzhou nodded and turned back to Yu Shu. “Did you start the rumor?”
Everyone was completely stupefied by how he apparently had no idea about it. It was well known in the capital that Yu Shu was his fiancée, yet he, the protagonist of this gossip, was unaware of it. There was something strange about this…
With a stiff spine, the Yu Shu pursed her lips and, two seconds later, plastered an elegant smile on her face with much difficulty and lifted her head. “A lot of people think so because we’re always together and you take care of me a lot.”
She worded her explanation as ambiguously as possible, making it sound like she was indeed the Lu family’s appointed granddaughter-in-law, but that it was just not well known to the public. Everyone only managed to guess it because of how often she was hanging out with Lu Chengzhou. On the other hand, though, she was explaining how others’ assumptions had nothing to do with her.
Hearing that, Lu Chengzhou furrowed his eyebrows. “We’re always together?” His tone was impatient.
Yu Shu squeezed her fingers tightly. “Ms. Gu met me for the first time when we went to dine at World Restaurant. She probably remembers it.” She was hinting to everyone that, be it in the capital or Ming City, she was always together with Lu Chengzhou.
Yue Qing supplemented, “Young Master Lu, everyone knows that Yu Shu has always been by your side all these years.”
Lu Chengzhou remained expressionless as he drilled his gaze into Yu Shu. His voice became colder. “I take care of you?”
Seeing how he was seemingly about to deny it, Yu Shu blurted out in a desperate attempt to seek confirmation, “Every time we eat together, you would get Qin Fang to take me home. You would also always send Qin Fang to fetch me whenever I came to Ming City from the capital. Chengzhou, you can’t erase all the memories we share just because of Gu Mang.”
Qin Fang was speechless.
What the heck?!
Lu Chengzhou let out a cold laugh, then lazily drawled, “As you said, it was Qin Fang.”
Her expression stiffened.
“I—” Qin Fang, meanwhile, pointed a finger at himself in confusion, only to have his arm tugged at by He Yidu, who wanted him to shut up and take responsibility for what he had done.
The Qin family was even more confused.
Qin Fang and Yu Shu?
He Yidu swept a gaze across the crowd and hooked his lips into an indifferent smile. “It looks like there’s a huge misunderstanding here. Qin Fang and I were always there with Ms. Yu and Brother Cheng. The two of them were never actually alone.”
