Chapter 15: Grabbing the Handle



Lu Jinghuai thought about it carefully and realized that the Lin family didn't seem to have any rivals with the surname Gu, and even the top wealthy families in H City didn't have anyone with the surname Gu.

In the end, Lin Yan did not mention Gu Zhiyi's name to Lu Jinghuai, but just lowered her eyes and replied to Gu Zhiyi.

"Brother Zhiyi, is tomorrow afternoon okay? I'll call you then."

There were also two simple words on the other side: "Okay."

Lin Yan didn't notice that Lu Jinghuai's eyes fell on her face and then looked away.

The next day, around ten o'clock, Lin Yan had packed up and was ready to go out. Lu Jinghuai, who usually was either in the company or in the study at this time on weekends, appeared on the sofa in the living room.

Reading a newspaper in the living room at this time? Lin Yan paused for a moment and walked straight through the living room without thinking too much.

"Are you going out?" Lu Jinghuai suddenly asked from the sofa.

"Yeah." Lin Yan paused and explained, "An old friend of mine came to H City, and I need to go out and meet him.

Lu Jinghuai said "hmm" lightly without any extra words.

【Why is Lu Jinghuai acting so strange today?】

Lin Yan was complaining in her heart. Uncle Chen knew that Lin Yan wanted to go out today and had prepared the car in advance.

"Young Master, aren't you going out with the Young Madam?" Uncle Chen looked at Lu Jinghuai with obvious disapproval in his eyes.

Lin Yan was also startled by what Uncle Chen said and quickly waved her hands.

"Uncle Chen, I'm going to meet my friend today. I don't need Lu Jinghuai to come with me."

Lin Yan glanced at the time again and said goodbye simply, "Uncle Chen, it's getting late. I'll leave first."

After saying that, Lin Yan hurried away, and the car had already stopped outside the courtyard gate.

Uncle Chen could only watch Lin Yan get into the car. After the car left, Uncle Chen sighed and returned to the living room to look at Lu Jinghuai who was reading a newspaper on the sofa.

"Master, why don't you accompany the young lady to visit her old friend? It's a good opportunity to learn more about her past life."

Lu Jinghuai adjusted his glasses and remained silent. Uncle Chen was just a housekeeper after all. With a sigh, Lu Jinghuai remained unmoved and had no choice but to leave.

On the other side, Lin Yan and Gu Zhiyi met successfully. Both of them felt a little unfamiliar, and Gu Zhiyi was obviously stunned for a moment.

He smiled and said, "Ayan, you have changed a lot."

Lin Yan smiled and didn't explain. She and the original owner were not the same person, so of course they were different.

Lin Yan took the initiative to change the subject: "It's getting late, and it's hot outside. I've reserved a table at the restaurant. Let's go over and eat while we talk."

Gu Zhiyi seemed a little distracted, and finally responded: "Okay."

At the same time, in the restaurant, Song Jingya was also having a small gathering with Jiang Yue at a window seat in the hall.

Song Jingya looked obviously depressed. She stirred the spoon in the coffee cup carelessly and complained.

"My dad asked me to stay away from my brother recently because he said he was married... but he clearly knew I liked my brother."

"Brother Yueyue took the Rose Heart photo for that woman. Is it possible that brother... has fallen in love with her?" When Song Jingya said this, she stopped stirring the coffee and her face was obviously pale.

As Song Jingya's best sister, Jiang Yue naturally comforted her: "Yaya, don't think too much. Brother Jinghuai must have been deceived by that bumpkin. A daughter that the Lin family found from nowhere, haha... They said it was their biological daughter who was wandering around. Who knows."

Song Jingya pursed her lips and didn't respond, but she obviously agreed.

Jiang Yue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Song Jingya's expression gradually ease. Although she had a good relationship with Song Jingya, the biggest reason why she followed Song Jingya was that the Jiang family was not as good as the Song family and she needed to rely on the Song family.

Because the two have a good relationship, the Jiang family has reaped a lot of benefits, and she doesn't dare to make Song Jingya unhappy.

Jiang Yue was originally planning to say something to make Song Jingya happy, but she suddenly stopped looking at him with an excited expression.

"Yaya, look behind you."

Song Jingya was stunned and subconsciously turned her head to look over. At the three o'clock direction, she saw a familiar person.

Lin Yan and a man came in from the door. It was not Lu Jinghuai, but a strange man.

"Lin Yan, why is she here?"

Jiang Yue held Song Jingya's hand, her tone full of malice: "Lin Yan is the wife of the Lu family. She secretly went out to date other men. I don't know if Brother Jing Huai knows about it."

Song Jingya paused for a moment. Lu Jinghuai certainly didn't know that his brother was such a proud man, how could he accept that another woman betrayed him?

Song Jingya seemed to have thought of something, and quickly picked up her mobile phone from the table and shot it in the direction of Lin Yan.

The two people on the other side still didn't notice Song Jingya and Jiang Yue here. The man and woman were still talking and laughing.

Lin Yan, Lin Yan, she finally got the upper hand.

Song Jingya snorted coldly: "I will send the photos to my brother and let him see what Lin Yan looks like when she flirts with others."

At this time, at the Lu family, Lu Jinghuai was also having dinner at the dining table. His cell phone rang. He didn't intend to read it, but he saw the sender, Song Jingya.

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Jinghuai's eyes. He opened the message and found no extra text, only a photo.

The photo was taken at a good angle, and may have been slightly photoshopped with a filter added. It is a photo of a man and a woman walking in from the door side by side.

Both men and women are very good-looking, and because of the angle, there seems to be a bit more sweetness in the air.

Lu Jinghuai's gaze fell on the man's face. The man looked good, but he was indeed unfamiliar. Lu Jinghuai was sure that he did not know him. Moreover, the man's clothes and temperament did not seem like someone who would give Lin Yan 50 million.

Lu Jinghuai knew very well the purpose of Song Jingya taking this photo and sending it to him.

But Lu Jinghuai didn't care. He and Lin Yan already had this kind of tacit understanding, and their marriage was in name only.

In fact, Lu Jinghuai also hesitated about this matter before getting married. Wouldn’t a marriage in name only be too unfair to his partner?

Later, he found out that the engagement was changed to Lin Yan, and knew Lin Yan's situation in the Lin family. He thought that maybe he could cooperate with Lin Yan.

If Lin Yan is very resistant, he is willing to try to become a real couple with Lin Yan after resolving the issue.

As a result, he didn't say what he should have said, and he found that he could hear Lin Yan's thoughts.

However, since Lin Yan has been thinking about the 50 million, he and Lin Yan are destined to be impossible.

He cannot keep people sent by others around him.

Lu Jinghuai's eyes darkened. He didn't say anything else. He turned off his phone with a calm expression.
