Chapter 321: The fuse or the excuse
Chapter 321: The fuse or the excuse
Lu Xingchen looked at Ethan Lu, who was sitting on the sofa in her office and looking at her frankly, and felt a little overwhelmed. She decided to confirm it again: “Are you sure that grandma agreed to let you come to see me?”
Ethan Lu nodded: “Yes, you said that if I want to find you, I must get grandma’s consent, so I asked her opinion and she agreed.”
Lu Xingchen didn’t quite dare to believe it. To the old lady, Lu Yisen was truly her beloved baby who she held in her hands for fear of breaking, and held in her mouth for fear of melting. How could she agree to let Lu Yisen come to find her?
"How did you get grandma's consent?"
"I told her that if I could find you, I would study Chinese well."
Lu Xingchen held back the breath of laughter in his chest, because Ethan Lu said it very seriously, “Hey, do you dare to tell grandma that you don’t learn or don’t want to learn Chinese?”
Ethan Lu shrugged, “Can’t you see that I seem to be very important to grandma? I am so important that I can propose some reasonable exchange conditions. If she doesn’t even agree to reasonable conditions, then I think it’s wrong, so I can also make unreasonable resistance. In the end, she agreed. Obviously, I am indeed important.”
Lu Xingchen's second breath of laughter rushed to her lips, she closed her eyes and nodded, "Yes, you are very important and logical."
But he is just too naive. Even if the old lady really agreed to him and dared to let him come to her, she probably knew that she didn’t dare to do anything to Ethan Lu, and she wanted to test her attitude, right?
"So, why did you come to me?"
This question stumped Ethan Lu. He lowered his long eyelashes for a moment, raised his head and continued to look into Lu Xingchen's eyes and said, "I want to have lunch with you, is that okay?"
But it is possible, Lu Xingchen asked, "Is it possible? If I say no, what reasonable conditions will you offer me in exchange?"
“No.” Ethan Lu shook his head firmly.
"why?"
Ethan Lu tilted his head slightly and thought about it, “I’m not very important to you, and I don’t have anything to exchange with you.”
“…” Lu Xingchen had never come into contact with such a young child, and wondered if all children of this age were like Lu Yisen?
Ethan Lu then added, “But I think you will agree, right?”
"Why do you think so?"
"You are a reasonable person, and I didn't make any unreasonable demands."
Lu Xingchen looked at the pretty boy with amusement in his heart for a moment, and finally nodded: "Since you praised me for being reasonable, I will treat you to lunch today."
The little boy was obviously surprised, but he quickly suppressed it and said, "I have money, I can treat you."
"After all, you have come to my territory, so please treat me next time."
The little boy's eyebrows moved slightly, "It means that I can come to see you next time."
"Uh..." Lu Xingchen laughed at his sharp reaction, "If you want to come and grandma agrees, yes, you can."
And just after Lu Xingchen and Lu Yisen had a very pleasant lunch, Yang Wenqi learned the news. Even with Shen Mingzhen's analysis and dissuasion, Yang Wenqi only temporarily suppressed the anger in her heart.
After returning, the more she thought about it, the more she felt unbalanced, and she couldn't understand why the old lady would be relieved to hand over Ethan Lu to Lu Xingchen. Did she want Lu Xingchen to support Ethan Lu? Isn't this equivalent to letting Lu Xingchen return to the Lu family?
No, it’s impossible. The old lady is so old, she is not sure that she can see Ethan Lu grow up, let alone that after she dies, Lu Xingchen will return the Lu family to Ethan Lu, so it is impossible for her to let Lu Xingchen come back.
So was she just using Ethan Lu to test Lu Xingchen?
However, the old lady would never be willing to let her precious son Ethan Lu test Lu Xingchen, unless… Yang Wenqi thought of this unless, and her eyes suddenly became gloomy, unless the old lady trusted Lu Xingchen.
When the word "trust" appeared between the old lady and Lu Xingchen, Yang Wenqi suddenly felt like there was a thorn in her heart. For so many years, she had obeyed the old lady's words, but the old lady had never trusted her, especially in the past year, her attitude towards her had become even colder.
It was so cold that Yang Wenqi felt that one day she would find a new young girl who could give birth to a child to deal with Lu Dingsheng, just like she did with Xu Fanghua. Maybe that woman was Lu Ethan Lu’s mother, but the old lady hadn’t brought her back yet.
As soon as this idea came out, it took root in Yang Wenqi's heart, and then quickly sprouted as Lu Dingsheng went on a business trip abroad for about three weeks. She felt that Lu Dingsheng might go to see Lu Yisen's mother.
Yang Wenqi would never allow herself to become the second Xu Fanghua. Either she had to gain a foothold in the Lu family, or... she had to get Chu Zeyan.
Thursday.
Chu Ze derivative day.
Qin Yue called their friends to celebrate his birthday together at the AK Club. They had always had a lot of fun together before, and now that Chu Zeyan had become the heir of the Chu family, even those who had not had a good time together before came to celebrate his birthday.
The woman next to Chu Zeyan has changed. She is a young girl with short hair, exceptionally beautiful looks, and a height of over 1.7 meters.
Yang Wenqi entered the private room and heard Qin Yue and the others introduce, "This is A Yan's girlfriend, Xiao Xing."
Yang Wenqi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Of course, even if this woman didn't have "Xing" in her name, Yang Wenqi could still see some of Lu Xingchen in her. She smiled and greeted Ah Xing and said, "My name is Yang Wenqi. Ah Yan and Ah Yue have called me sister since they were young. You can just follow them and call me Sister Wenqi."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoxing immediately greeted her very politely and courteously, and praised Yang Wenqi for her beauty, saying that if she hadn't called her elder sister, she would have thought she was her younger sister, and so on.
Although she looks a bit like Lu Xingchen, her personality is completely different. Yang Wenqi is, as always, very good at dealing with different people, making it very pleasant for people around her to get along with her.
On the contrary, Chu Zeyan, although he always had a smile on his face and seemed to be easy to talk to everyone, he always seemed absent-minded when he was not talking.
Many people present had grown up together, and suddenly someone said, "I still remember that year, A Yan proposed to Sister Wenqi, and Sister Wenqi rejected him harshly."
The originally lively atmosphere was frozen by this sentence. Some people looked at Chu Zeyan, afraid of making him unhappy, but he still smiled and said nothing.
His girlfriend Xiaoxing was stunned for a moment.
Yang Wenqi then said, "What nonsense are you talking about? If you want to dig up my scandals from the past, just tell me. A-Yan's girlfriend is still singing."
After that, she smiled and said to Xiaoxing, "Don't listen to their nonsense. I was in trouble back then, and A Yan helped me out out of kindness."
Seeing that Chu Zeyan didn't express his opinion, Xiaoxing just smiled and said to Yang Wenqi: "It's okay, Ah Yan told me about it, and it happened many years ago. Isn't Sister Wenqi married and has children now?"
Yang Wenqi's eyes gleamed, and she said with a smile, "That's right, Xiaoxing is sensible. No wonder A Yan likes you."
