Chapter 831: Revisit (1)
Han Yichen looked at the gift box that had unknowingly fallen into Lu Sizheng’s hands. He knew that his acceptance was likely related to this person in front of him and the Lu family.
However, in front of so many people, it would disrespect the other party if he did not accept it. He had also heard about Mr. Lu from Zhao Youlin and the others. If it was possible, he did not want to provoke such a terrifying enemy.
After hesitating for a moment, Han Yichen finally took the gift box and handed it to the servant beside him.
“Go back and tell Mr. Lu that I thank him for his congratulations. We will visit him in person another day to thank Mr. Lu for his kindness.”
“Okay, I’ll convey those words back.” Lu Sizheng smiled and glanced at the people who were glancing at him from all directions. He said helplessly, “I’ve delivered the gifts and brought the words. I still have some things to do, so I’ll go back first.”
“Young Master Lu just came and you’re leaving already?”
Lu Sizheng looked at Zhao Youlin meaningfully. “As Ms. Zhao can see, I’m very busy. “Moreover, today is Mr. Zhao’s child’s full moon gift. If I were here, I’m afraid the banquet in your residence wouldn’t be so smooth. This is not the reason I came here.”
Zhao Youlin’s eyes flashed, and she sneered, “I didn’t expect Young Master Lu to be such a considerate person. Then my brother and I won’t keep you any longer.”
Lu Sizheng didn’t say anything else. He turned around with a smile and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something. He turned to look at Zhao Youlin and said, “Ms. Zhao, aren’t you going to send me off?”
Zhao Youlin was stunned. After seeing the mockery in his eyes…
“I’m sorry. I’ll send you off.”
As soon as Zhao Youlin agreed, Mu Tingfeng immediately interjected, “I’ll go with you.”
“Okay.”
Zhao Youlin gave Han Yichen and the others a comforting look before following Mu Tingfeng to send him off.
Before Lu Sizheng left, he subconsciously glanced in Su He’s direction. When he realized that Su He was also looking at him, he smiled and nodded at her.
The expression on Su He’s face suddenly froze, and she awkwardly smiled back at him.
“It’s over there.” When he walked out of the Zhao family’s villa, a black RV was already waiting.
Lu Sizheng looked at Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng with a faint smile, and finally fixed his gaze on Zhao Youlin. He smiled and said, “Ms. Zhao, I look forward to seeing you next time.”
I don’t want to see you again! Although Zhao Youlin thought so in her heart, she didn’t show a smile on her face. “Me too. Take care, Young Master Lu.”
As the car gradually leaving her sight, Zhao Youlin couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. She leaned her body against Mu Tingfeng and frowned. “There was something very wrong with that man.”
Mu Tingfeng pulled Zhao Youlin into his arms and gently patted her shoulder. “Why don’t we go in and ask Xiao Qi and the others? I’m just as uncomfortable about it.”
“That’s right! Xiao He and the others must know something. Let’s go in and ask,” Zhao Youlin also recalled that when Su He saw Lu Sizheng appear, she clearly had something to say. It was obvious that she had some understanding of Lu Xiangtian’s son’s sudden appearance.
When Han Yichen and the others saw Mu Tingfeng bring Zhao Youlin back, they all heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhao Youlin immediately ran to Su He’s side and asked, “Xiao He, do you know that person just now?”
Su He was stunned for a moment. She nodded. “That person is Uncle Lu’s son. We met a few times at his house, but that was a few years ago, so I almost didn’t recognize him when I first saw him.”
“So that means he’s really Lu Xiangtian’s son?” Zhao Youlin frowned and suddenly thought of something. She was puzzled. “That’s not right. I remember hearing from your parents that Lu Xiangtian didn’t have a wife and child at all. Even that… Lu Shu was only found by him later. When did he have such an old son? Could it be that he’s the son of the Crown Prince?”
“No, that’s not it.” Su He quickly shook her head and explained, “This Lu Sizheng isn’t Uncle Lu’s biological son. He’s his adopted son.”
“Adopted son.”
“Yes.” Su He nodded. “I heard from my parents that this Lu Sizheng is actually the son of one of Uncle Lu’s trusted subordinates. That subordinate died in an accident in order to save Uncle Lu, leaving behind only this child. At that time, the child was only seven or eight years old, and Uncle Lu had always been unwilling to marry and have children. Many people in the gang urged Uncle Lu to start a family as soon as possible, so Uncle Lu simply took this child as his adopted son. On one hand, it was to repay his friend, and on the other hand, it was to cultivate an heir and shut some people’s mouths.”
Zhao Youlin’s expression darkened slightly after hearing Su He’s words, but then she lowered her head and fell into deep thought.
That youth was the heir that Lu Xiangtian had intended to groom, and he was not related to Lu Xiangtian by blood. But now, Lu Xiangtian had found his biological daughter, and he loved her very much. Perhaps he already had the intention of changing the heir. From this point of view, it was very likely that Lu Sizheng and Lu Shu were sworn enemies.
But what did this have to do with her? In fact, she had only met Lu Xiangtian a few times and had even spoken to him a few times. Lu Sizheng’s appearance today was really unexpected.
Zhao Youlin did not want to get involved in the dispute at all, especially not in the Lu family’s matter. But the reality was that these people were trying to reel her in instead, which annoyed her a little.
“Youlin, Youlin…” The calls of the people beside her forced Zhao Youlin to come back to her senses.
She looked up and met Su he’s puzzled eyes. She said awkwardly, “What’s wrong?”
“What are you thinking about? I kept calling you, but you didn’t answer.”
Zhao Youlin forced a smile. “Nothing. I just feel that the timing of that person’s appearance was a little strange.”
“Actually, I think so too. I heard that Lu Sizheng had been staying abroad all this time. I don’t know why he suddenly came back.”
Han Yichen listened to their conversation from the side, and the wrinkles on his brows deepened. After a long while, he finally asked the question in his heart, “When that person just came, he kept mentioning Mr. Lu’s name. When did you become so familiar with that Mr. Lu?”
Zhao Youlin had mentioned this person to Han Yichen when they first met Lu Xiangtian in the Su family, so he had been able to connect the dots just now.
However, in Han Yichen’s impression, that Mr. Lu and Zhao Youlin should have only met a few times. Since when did they become so familiar with each other that they needed someone to personally send gifts to Zhao Youlin’s relatives for a banquet?
