Chapter 728: We Meet Again (2)
Jiang Wenfang and Lu Xiangtian’s hearts trembled. They didn’t understand why Lu Xiangtian would suddenly ask this question, so they could only answer truthfully, “Yes, that child from the Mu family and the girls from his family have always had a good relations.h.i.+p with Xiao Qi. That child and Xiao Qi grew up together. Today, Xiao Qi’s child is having a full moon ceremony, so they naturally came to visit.”
“I see.” Lu Xiangtian pondered for a moment. “I saw those two children the last time and thought that this was more than just a chance meeting. Why don’t we call them over to sit together?”
When Lu Shu heard Lu Xiangtian suddenly mention the Mu family’s child, she had already felt that something was amiss. She finally understood that the so-called Mu family’s child was the husband of the Zhao family’s eldest lady, who had the same name as a certain someone. When she suddenly heard Lu Xiangtian say that he wanted to meet her, she could not help but exclaim, “Dad!”
Jiang Wenfang and Su Liqiang were also shocked. Was this fate? The last time they introduced Zhao Youlin and Su Liqiang to Lu Xiangtian, he had not reacted. Why was this happening now?
Lu Xiangtian gave Lu Shu an indifferent glance. Lu Shu bit her lip and did not say anything else, but the disapproval in her eyes could not be concealed.
For some reason, she did not like Lu Xiangtian interacting too much with that woman. She did not know if it was because of her womanly’s sixth sense or something else.
Unfortunately, Lu Xiangtian’s decision was never easily swayed by anyone. So after giving Lu Shu a warning look, Lu Xiangtian s.h.i.+fted his gaze back to Jiang Wenfang and Jiang Wenfang.
Jiang Wenfang was a little nervous under his stare. She forced a smile and said, “Brother Lu, it’s their honor to have your attention. I’ll go and call them over now.”
Zhao Youlin and the others sat at the side to rest while secretly observing the situation on Lu Xiangtian’s side. Su Qing saw Zhao Youlin glancing over from time to time out of curiosity. She couldn’t help but remind her in a low voice, “Youlin, that man is a bad omen. Don’t draw any more attention than necessary. Otherwise, even uncle and the others might…”
Zhao Youlin was startled when she heard that. She couldn’t help but laugh, “What are you thinking? How could I possibly want to mess with such a person? I’m just a little surprised when I see that every time he appears, not only does he have a great momentum, but even uncle and aunt personally went forward to welcome him. They’re even so polite to him.”
Only then did Su Qing let out a sigh of relief. She smiled and said, “That person is a big shot in the underworld. Even uncle and aunt have to be polite to him. Moreover, the way he does things is said to be very… brutal. Therefore, the elders never wanted us to have anything to do with him. Fortunately, he’s always been polite with us. Moreover, it is said that he is always elusive. I don’t know what happened back then, but this is my second time seeing him.”
Su Qing frowned, as if she was also surprised to see Lu Xiangtian in the Su family again.
As the two of them were talking, they saw Jiang Wenfang, who was originally greeting Lu Xiangtian, walking toward them.
“Aunt, why are you here? Ye Yan is already entertaining us. You can go and greet the other guests first.” Su Qing guessed that Jiang Wenfang had seen them and specially came over to greet them.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Wenfang stood in front of them and sighed with a solemn expression. She said in a low voice, “Tingfeng, Yulin, the two of you come with me. Brother Lu wants to see you.”
When Jiang Wenfang said this, they were all shocked. Mu Tingfeng frowned and asked directly, “Aunt, why does Mr. Lu suddenly want to see us?”
“I’m not very clear about that.” Jiang Wenfang was still puzzled about this question. How could she answer it? “Okay, come with me. The two of you only need to remember that when you get there and that person asks you something, you answer him. If he doesn’t ask you anything, don’t talk to him. If there’s anything, I will take care of it for you. Don’t be too nervous.”
Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng looked at each other and nodded. They entrusted Joy to Su He and her husband for the time being. Then, they got up and walked over with Jiang Wenfang.
Su Qing looked at their backs and frowned. She lowered her voice and said, “Are they… okay? Did that person hear us because we were talking about him too loudly?”
“I don’t think so.” Ye Yan turned to look at the people not far away. “If he really heard us, why would he only call the two of them over?”
Su Qing frowned, but she also felt that Ye Yan’s words were quite right. If he had truly heard them, it would not be as simple as just Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng going over.
With that thought, Su He looked at Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng with even more worry.
Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng walked side by side to the table that only had four people, including Jiang Wenfang. They politely greeted Lu Xiangtian, “Mr. Lu.”
Lu Xiangtian smiled. “Please take a seat.”
The two of them found empty seats and sat down. As soon as they sat down, Lu Xiangtian immediately smiled and said, “Ms. Zhao, we meet again.”
As soon as Lu Xiangtian said this, everyone at the table turned their attention to Zhao Youlin, especially Lu Shu, who was sitting next to Lu Xiangtian. Her eyes were slightly narrowed. It made people feel that this woman would pounce on them in the next second.
Zhao Youlin was speechless. Could it be that this woman had a fetish for her father? When she saw her father talking to other people, she looked as if she wanted to swallow her whole.
Thinking back to all the speculations from before and the incident in her past life that was still unsolved, Zhao Youlin’s eyes turned slightly cold and the corners of her lips curled up. “Yes, Mr. Lu, we meet again. What a coincidence.”
Zhao Youlin’s response was no different from admitting that the two of them had met before. Jiang Wenfang and the others were shocked and looked at each other. Mu Tingfeng was the first to ask, “You and Mr. Lu… met before?”
Mu Tingfeng’s question was also what Lu Shu wanted to ask. Suppressing the fear and unease in her heart, Lu Shu smiled and reached out to grab Lu Xiangtian’s hand. She asked with a fake smile, “Dad, you met this… Ms. Zhao before?”
Lu Xiangtian did not answer. Instead, he smiled and glanced at Zhao Youlin. Zhao Youlin did not panic and replied honestly, “I did meet Mr. Lu before, and Tingfeng was also there.”
“Tingfeng was also there?” Jiang Wenfang and Zhao Youlin were stunned. Since Mu Tingfeng was also there, why was Mu Tingfeng so surprised when Zhao Youlin mentioned it?
Mu Tingfeng frowned slightly. He seemed to be puzzled by Zhao Youlin’s words. Was he also there at that time? Why didn’t he remember it?
