"Our Xiao Zhi can bully anyone as long as she"s happy. What"s more, she never actively provokes anyone.” Huo Jinchen mockingly glanced at He Lian Yi and played with Lu Xingzhi"s fingers with his head down.
Huo Jinchen"s pa.s.sing remarks shook He Lian Yi a bit.
There"s no other way to explain what he meant.
Again, as if in jest, he said, "Our family"s Zhizhi has just come to the capital, so don"t you look down at her age and bully her. Otherwise, I wouldn"t mind tidying you up.”
Since the subject is Lu Xingzhi, Hou Jinchen doesn"t mind repeating these same words again.
"San ye must be joking. Your wife is so modest and elegant, and talented, how could anyone bully her!” Someone rushed out and beat the ball.
Lu Xingzhi: “…….”
She reluctantly accepted that she"s talented.
But modest? Elegant? Is he sure he"s talking about her?
What to do?
Her stomach is starting to cramp again.
She wants to throw up.
“None the better.” Huo Jinchen smirked and said to Lu Xingzhi, "Tired? Let"s go home.”
“Is that okay?” Lu Xingzhi whispered.
“Of course.” He just took her out to show her face for fear of someone blind, running into her.
Huo Jinchen took leave of Master Zhou and left with Lu Xingzhi.
They just stepped out on their front feet, when Qin Shihuai and Mo Jinyan followed suit.
"Jinchen, what"s wrong, it"s still too early. Why don"t you go to my place for a meal? We"re having roast whole sheep today, I told them to prepare them now, so it would be ready by the time we get there."
Roasted whole sheep?
Lu Xingzhi"s eyes were all bright. She remembers He Lian Xi telling her before that it"s yum-yum.
“Wanna go?” With just one look at her, Huo Jinchen understood.
“I want to taste roast whole sheep.” Lu Xingzhi wasn"t pretentious either, “However, it"s too inconvenient with this dress on.”
"I brought you a change of clothes. Change later." Huo Jinchen had thought of every possibility long ago, and brought Lu Xingzhi not only a casual dress, but also a separate suit.
“Okay, then is it okay if I ask Xixi to come along?”
Huo Jinchen frowned slightly, “She still needs to wait until the banquet is over, another day!”
“Oh!” Lu Xingzhi nodded.
In the distance, He Lian Yi watched them leave, looked at Chen Xinzi, who looked rather grim and helplessly said: “Xinzi jie, get in the car! I"ll take you back.”
“Xiao Yi, do you also think that I am no better than Lu Xingzhi? Even the piano I"m proud of has now been lost to her. Do you all think my piano is not as good as Lu Xingzhi?” Chen Xinzi really felt embarra.s.sed.
She didn"t even dare to imagine whether she would be a joke in this circle from this day forward.
“Xinzi jie, you"re overthinking it. You"re the best pianist, you"re the best.” That was all He Lian Yi could say to comfort her.
He couldn"t just be honest and tell her that Lu Xingzhi"s music indeed was soulful.
The mere thought of it annoyed him somehow.
Those insults that he flung at her seemed to be hitting him in the face now.
“Xiao Yi, is Lu Xingzhi"s father really Master Jincheng? Is it fake? Could she be lying?” Chen Xinzi couldn"t believe that the master she had always worshipped turned out to be Lu Xingzhi"s father.
"That"s unlikely!" He Lian Yi was not particularly knowledgeable about Lu Xingzhi, but, nevertheless, thought that she was not a person who would lie.
“Xiao Yi, can you help me investigate her?”
