In that moment, Mrs. Qin spoke. “Yujing, go and have a seat first.”
Granny Lu acknowledged with a hum and looked away. When she spotted Huo Zhi, her eyes shifted indifferently. “Mr. Huo, you are here?”
Huo Zhi nodded and smiled. “Old Madam.”
His attitude was not reverent. It was at most polite. When others saw this scene, they were surprised and even more curious about Huo Zhi’s identity.
Old Master Qin had already noticed Huo Zhi, but he had not greeted him. Now that he was free, he approached him and said solemnly, “Mr. Huo, please take a seat too.”
Huo Zhi nodded and smiled. They walked towards the banquet table.
Old Master Qin was slightly worried. It was his 80th birthday. How could they invite Lu Chengzhou and Huo Zhi over? This was a full on surprise from the start. When they walked away, the onlookers finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Each guest had a stronger aura than the other.
…
Once He Yidu stepped out of the hotel, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and placed one between his lips.
Yu Shu’s fists were clenched tightly. At the thought of the scene at the banquet just now, her gaze was filled with fury as she straightened her back.
Flick
The sound of the lighter lighting up could be heard. He Yidu took a breath from the cigarette and dropped his arm.
Yu Shu regained her senses and pursed her pale lips. “What do you guys want?” she sounded very tense.
He Yidu was silent. Yu Shu knew their tricks very well. She would be lying if she said that she wasn’t scared.
After a few seconds, He Yidu still did not say anything. Her heart raced. “Lu Chengzhou should know better than anyone the relationship between the Lu family and the Yú family. Don’t you dare touch me.”
He Yidu chuckled. “Yu Shu, you are calling Brother Cheng by his full name now. I thought you liked to act as if you knew Brother Cheng very well in front of Gu Mang.”
While he was speaking, he turned and looked at her. Yu Shu turned around, only to see He Yidu’s gold-rimmed glasses radiating ruthlessness. There was also a mocking smile on his face.
She said with a cold expression, “Do you think it’s my fault?”
He Yidu flicked the ashes off of his cigarette and said indifferently, “Aren’t you just asking the obvious?”
Yu Shu glared at him. The corner of her eyes had turned red. “We are the ones who grew up together.”
He Yidu laughed again. His laughter was cold and distant. “You may say that we grew up together, but we only see each other a few times a year. If you really think about it, we aren’t that close, are we?”
Yu Shu remained silent. The two of them walked to the Yú family’s car.
The chauffeur was not there.
He Yidu put his hand in his pocket and looked at Yu Shu. “You are pretty impressive too. If Granny Lu did not appear today, even I would have believed that the Lu family and the Yú family had marriage plans.”
Yu Shu bit her lip. “My Dad did bring up marriage plans to the Lu family. The Lu family did not give us a specific reply, but they also didn’t oppose it. I was not lying.”
He Yidu seemed to agree with what she had said as he nodded. “If you put it this way, Granny Lu did give you a chance.”
Yu Shu regained some of her dignity. She lifted her chin. “I don’t believe that Lu Chengzhou had no idea about it. Even if he misunderstood that I was looking at Qin Fang in the past, can’t he tell that I am actually looking at him now?”
He Yidu smiled indifferently. “I think he could tell. That’s why we have not seen each other ever since the meeting at the racecourse. Do you not understand what that means?”
Of course Yu Shu knew what that meant. However, she was relying on the belief that the Lu family would not accept Gu Mang, considering her background. What Old Madam had said today was totally unexpected. She had humiliated her thoroughly at the banquet.
He Yidu narrowed her eyes. “The two of you do not have anything going at all, yet you still said you are his fiancée. Don’t tell me that you didn’t do that to spread the rumor within the capital on purpose.”
Yu Shu looked slightly guilty.
He Yidu extinguished his cigarette on the Yú family’s car before tossing it into the bin. “Yu Shu, you deserve whatever happened today.”
