As soon as Lu Yu finished speaking, he suddenly felt a tightness on his shoulder.

Jiao Yuyin put his arms around Lu Yu's shoulders, giving her a sense of security even through his suit jacket.

Lu Yu smelled the familiar patchouli scent and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Cen Li, who is your agent?" Jiao Yuyin's voice was calm, revealing no emotion.

"Song Ting, Brother Song."

Lu Yu looked up and saw Tang Weiren immediately stand beside Jiao Cheng. Jiao Cheng's expression changed from tense to suspicious, and he squinted as he scrutinized everyone.

Jiao Cheng's heartfelt words were clearly heard.

[Cen Li and Xiao Yu are so at odds, it seems Cen Li really wasn't arranged by Yu Yin. No, maybe they're just putting on an act for me.]

Lu Yu rolled her eyes inwardly upon hearing Jiao Cheng's thoughts. Such a suspicious and overthinking father!

Lu Yu turned her head, her gaze shifted, and Jiao Yuyin's profile came into view.

"Huh?" Lu Yu suddenly exclaimed.

Jiao Yuyin's left cheek was swollen and red, and the corner of his mouth was bluish.

What happened to your face?

Lu Yu's angry question made Jiao Cheng look embarrassed, and the atmosphere instantly turned cold.

Jiao Yuyin shook his head, gave Lu Yu a look that everything was fine, and said to Cen Li, "Have Song Ting wait for me at the company tomorrow."

Even a fool would know that this is no good.

Cen Li said excitedly, "Just because Lu Yu and I had a fight? Is President Jiao trying to make an example of me?"

“Insults and arguments are not the same thing.” Jiao Yuyin said, taking out his phone as if he was going to do it right away.

Jiao Cheng suddenly reached out to stop Jiao Yuyin, saying, "Don't worry about Cen Li's matter. I'll take care of it myself from now on."

Jiao Yuyin stared at the scene before him, sneering repeatedly.

Cen Li immediately stood next to Jiao Cheng, pretending to be petite and pitiful.

Tang Weiren reacted quickly, immediately separating Cen Li from him.

What was originally a tense situation took on a strangely comical atmosphere.

Jiao Yuyin stopped arguing, suppressed all his emotions, and introduced Tang Weiren to Lu Yu in a loud voice. "Lu Yu, this is Brother Tang, I've mentioned him to you before."

“Brother Tang.” Lu Yu understood immediately and continued, “I just greeted him.”

Tang Weiren laughed and said, "I met you once at the wedding, but there were too many people that day, so I guess you didn't remember it very well."

Jiao Yuyin said to Lu Yu in a leisurely manner: "Brother Tang is the person Dad trusts the most, and our second sister's husband Xin Chao is a good buddy."

These words were clearly meant for everyone.

The attention of the onlookers gradually shifted, and the topic turned to the internal affairs of the Jiao family. Those with a bit of sense immediately made excuses to leave.

Tang Weiren was indeed exchanging glances with Jiao Cheng.

Jiao Yuyin took the opportunity to turn the conversation to Tang Weiren, saying, "After my second sister passed away, I never saw my second sister's husband again."

“I told you, Xin Chao has absconded with the money, yet he keeps calling me ‘Second Brother-in-law.’ From now on, you’re not allowed to mention him in the Jiao family!” Jiao Cheng raised his voice, interrupting Jiao Yuyin.

Lu Yu clenched her fingers, focusing all her attention on discerning the inner voice.

Jiao Yuyin, seemingly oblivious to the reprimand, smiled at Tang Weiren and asked, "I just wanted to inquire, maybe Brother Tang knows something..."

Jiao Cheng's eyes flashed like a dagger.

"Xin Chao, Xin Chao, is that enough?" Jiao Yuyin swallowed the words "brother-in-law." "Maybe Brother Tang might know some clues about Xin Chao."

Tang Weiren lowered his brows and said, "It's all sad stuff. Xin Chao and I haven't been in contact for a long time. If there's even the slightest clue, the Jiao family will come after him."

“Private investigators are all useless. Look for clues from other directions. Dad, didn’t you say that Sister Ou, who took care of my second sister’s daily life, went back to her hometown? Have someone ask her.” Jiao Yuyin put on his spoiled rich kid attitude again, speaking in a carefree manner.

"I asked, I asked! So you're the only one with a brain? Can't you put your mind to something important all day?" Jiao Cheng roared.

Lu Yu hooked her arm around Jiao Yuyin's and, through Jiao Yuyin's black shirt, lightly tickled him three times with her fingertips.

This was a secret code she and Jiao Yuyin had agreed upon long ago, indicating that Lu Yu had already heard the crucial truth.

Jiao Yuyin breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked unconvinced. "How come I didn't focus on the important matters?"

Jiao Cheng let out a sigh of relief, glanced at Lu Yu, and said, "Having a baby soon so I can hold my eldest grandson is the most important thing."

"Huh? This..." Lu Yu didn't expect the topic to turn to urging people to have children.

"What's the rush? You promised you wouldn't pressure me before the wedding." Jiao Yuyin stretched out his sleeves. "We're not getting along, so I'm going to find somewhere to get a drink of water. You—"

Jiao Yuyin glanced at Cen Li, his expression indifferent, and said, "You go about your business."
