Chapter 711 Luo Chen’s Discontent
Mei Qi put forward such an idea. Song Yunxuan did not directly object and even found it interesting.
After thinking for a while, she called Lu Feng.
As a disabled person, Lu Feng seldom went out or traveled.
When he heard Song Yunxuan request him to go to Harbor City, he quickly realized that Song Yunxuan had other purposes.
He asked Song Yunxuan bluntly, “Miss Song, are you going to Harbor City to attend the wedding ceremony of Luo Xi and Shao Xue?”
“No.”
“If we just go sightseeing, I have no interest.”
“Come on. Let’s go and watch the fun.”
These words silenced Lu Feng for a while. Then, he nodded, “I accept your invitation for the moment. I like watching funny scenes.”
In this world, countless people liked watching the excitement.
Lu Feng and Song Yunxuan were among them.
The media in both Yuncheng and Harbor City were already paying attention to the wedding ceremony of Shao Xue and Luo Xi. On the day before the wedding, there were already reporters waiting at the door of the hotel and the a.s.sembly hall where the wedding ceremony would be held.
The Luo Family also invited various guests.
Since Gu Changle knew about the wedding of Shao Xue and Luo Xi, she naturally would not give up this good opportunity easily.
Therefore, the day before the wedding ceremony, she begged Shao Tianze to allow her to be discharged from the hospital.
Every time, Shao Tianze did not agree to her leaving the hospital. However, after being rejected so many times, Gu Changle felt that the outside world was better and yearned for it even more.
Facing Gu Changle’s request, Shao Tianze had no other choice but to agree to let her be discharged from the hospital and take her to Harbor City to attend the wedding of Shao Xue and Luo Xi.
It was the first grand gathering Gu Changle attended after being discharged from the hospital.
So, she carefully selected her dress and wore a piece of newly bought jewelry, Heart of the Sea, for the wedding ceremony.
Heart of the Sea was the largest blue diamond produced in South Aflica over the years.
And the diamond was in good condition.
So, it was loved by the daughters and ladies of wealthy families.
However, there was only one blue diamond, and only one woman could get it.
Gu Changle was lucky and got this diamond necklace.
When she walked on the red carpet at the wedding, she stole other female guests’ spotlight.
The attention she got could even be compared to Shao Xue, the bride of the day.
Shao Xue and Luo Xi were all in the lounge, waiting for the wedding ceremony.
The red carpet was being broadcast live on the monitor screen. Heart of the Sea on Gu Changle’s neck made Shao Xue frown.
Luo Xi also saw the expensive necklace on Gu Changle’s neck and couldn’t help but say, “Even three hundred million could not bid that necklace at that time. Can’t believe now it’s in her hands.”
“This is one of Gu Changge’s legacy.”
“Well, she is lucky to have such a good sister. After her sister died, she reaped fame and fortune.”
Shao Xue c.o.c.ked her head and looked at Luo Xi, “I can understand that she reaped the fortune. How about the fame?”
Luo Xi looked at Shao Xue and smiled with profound meaning, “Aren’t you clear in your heart?”
Shao Xue thought for a while but did not say anything.
In fact, she could probably guess what the fame he was talking about.
The fame probably referred to Gu Changle and Shao Tianze.
Gu Changge had died.
Not only was she gone, but her property also belonged to others.
Even her husband had become someone else’s man.
This really made Gu Changle fame and fortune.
Luo Xi could not help sighing, “Gu Changge had the foresight. However, did she ever think that everything she owned would become someone else’s?”
Shao Xue lowered her head and did not want to continue talking about Gu Changge with Luo Xi, so she said, “She is dead. It is useless for us to talk about her.”
Luo Xi could understand that she did not want to discuss these things. He chuckled, “You are right. We should respect the dead and not talk about these things anymore.”
Luo Xi changed the topic. He stopped discussing Gu Changge. Instead, he focused his attention on the guests on the screen.
When he saw Zang Linger appearing among the guests, Luo Xi could not help frowning, “Why is she here?”
“She can be regarded as our matchmaker. Is it natural that she attends our wedding?”
Shao Xue saw Zang Linger wearing a piece of white yarn dress on the screen. She thought this outfit was fresh, elegant, and beautiful.
Zang Linger was n.o.ble and charming but not too presumptuous to overshadow the host.
She seemed to be here to bless them sincerely.
She was unlike Gu Changle who just wanted to become the most dazzling one.
As seeing Zang Linger appear, Shao Xue smiled.
Seeing Shao Xue’s smile, Luo Xi knew that she had a great affection for Zang Linger.
“I’ll go out to see the situation.”
Luo Xi did not want to stay in the room or talk to Shao Xue about these female guests, so he left the lounge directly.
As soon as he left the room, he saw a figure flas.h.i.+ng past.
He creased his brows and chased after him. When he chased to the stairs, the man disappeared.
He looked down the stairs, with his fingers grasping the handrails of the stairs, and listened carefully to every sound around him.
When he felt someone behind him, he looked back abruptly.
However, he found that there was no one behind him.
He frowned tightly, suspecting that he had overreacted.
Still, he believed that his feeling was not wrong.
He furrowed his eyebrows and wanted to check Shao Xue.
However, when he had just reached the door of Shao Xue’s lounge, he heard rapid footsteps in the corridor.
He frowned and looked where the footsteps came from.
He immediately saw Mr. Zhang, who was the butler and his grandfather’s confidant, walking behind him.
“Mr. Zhang…”
Luo Xi called him.
There was sweat on his forehead. As soon as he saw Luo Xi, he directly said, “Help!”
Hearing Mr. Zhang’s anxious voice, Luo Xi felt his heart pounding, “What’s wrong?”
“Old Master… He… Old Master…”
The butler could not speak smoothly now because he was walking in a hurry.
Luo Xi had a premonition when he heard Mr. Zhang mentioned his grandfather.
“Old Master is quarreling with the Second Young Master.”
“My uncle?”
Luo Xi frowned and knew it was difficult. He immediately started moving, “Where are they? Mr. Zhang, please lead the way.”
“This way, Master Luo Xi.”
Mr. Zhang took Luo Xi forward.
Their footsteps were very hasty.
…
In a lounge on the third floor, Luo Jiachi, with a pale face, watched his younger son Luo Chen who locked the door.
“Chen, today is Luo Xi’s wedding.”
“Father, I remember it even without your reminder.”
“Then why did you lock the door?” Luo Jiachi had been in the business world for many years and could sense any conspiracy.
Today, his son locked the door immediately after entering. Luo Jiachi could feel that his son was not here to have a peaceful talk with him.
“I just want to tell you that you show too much partiality to Luo Xi.”
For Luo Jiachi, it was natural that he was partial to Luo Xi. Luo Jiachi had two sons. The elder one died young because of a woman and left only one boy. He naturally cherished and protected his grandson.
“Your brother died young and left Luo Xi. As his family, isn’t it normal that we love this child?”
Luo Jiachi looked at Luo Chen.
Luo Chen pursed his lips, “The words are right. But, father, there are some things you can let me handle. I’m more reliable than Luo Xi.”
Luo Jiachi knew that his son was hinting that he should hand over the control of the Luo Family to him as soon as possible.
However, as an experienced old man, Luo Jiachi did not believe that his son could hold their properties.
His elder brother was a stupid good-for-nothing, who died of depression because of a woman.
However, the younger son was not reliable either, who still had several mistresses when he was in his forties.
“If you want me to believe that you are more reliable than Luo Xi, you should get married and start a career earlier.”
Luo Jiachi’s voice was frigid.
It was full of disappointment to Luo Chen.
Hearing what his father said, Luo Chen wrinkled his brow, “Father, marrying a woman does not mean being reliable.”
“But I really hate to see your frivolous relations.h.i.+ps.”
Luo Jiachi looked at his younger son with some disgust in his eyes.
When he was young, Luo Jiachi was loyal to his wife, so was his elder son.
Because he both loved and hated that his elder son was constant in love, he had been hesitant about his att.i.tude towards his grandson.
He did not overindulge or protect the child, nor did he completely ignore him.
He put Luo Xi in a relatively safe environment where danger might come at any time.
Luo Xi’s grandfather protected him.
But his uncle, Luo Chen, was hostile and malicious towards him.
Therefore, Luo Xi grew up in a complicated environment.
Now his character was also very complicated.
This child understood the complexity of the world, so Luo Jiachi wanted him to a.s.sume the responsibility of the Luo Family.
He wanted to hand over the Luo Family to his grandson, not his son, who had been living a smooth life all the time.
“Father, no matter how dissolute I am, I put due energy in the Luo Family. I can distinguish between trifles and business.”
“Really?” Luo Jiachi stared at his son and asked, “Who broke Xu Baoli’s leg?”
Xu Baoli was a beautiful female singer in Harbor City. However, before she debuted, she already had a deadly foe, Fang Bao.
Fang Bao was a supermodel in Harbor City who had just become popular. She was beautiful and glamorous, very good at winning men’s hearts.
Jealous men competed to pursue her.
Luo Chen was one of them.
Fang Bao hated Xu Baoli, so she begged Luo Chen to help her settle an old score with Xu Baoli.
And Luo Chen listened to her and broke Xu Baoli’s legs.
Hearing that Luo Jiachi mentioned this matter now, Luo Chen still felt it was a triviality, “It’s no big deal.”
“Lu Xia will find someone to break your leg.” Luo Jiachi’s voice was indifferent.
But Luo Chen got scared and went pale because of these words, “Lu Xia is behind her?”
