Lu Yu's face was almost frozen from smiling. When he saw Xia Wan and Gu Qianjin coming in, he quickly greeted them.
"Why are you only arriving at this hour?"
"I just got off work."
"Come on, I'll take you to see your father first." Lu Yu brought Xia Wan to Xia Qingshan. "Brother-in-law, Wanwan is here."
"Why did you call her here?" Xia Qingshan's face was already unpleasant, but it became even more so when he saw Gu Qian following behind Xia Wan.
“Xia Wan just got back from work. Look how thin she looks. Brother-in-law, if you don’t care about your own daughter, don’t you allow me to care about my niece? Don’t keep such a long face. Today is such an important occasion, you two should sit down and have a good talk. Father and daughter don’t hold grudges overnight.”
He doesn't know how painful it is until the fire burns him. If his family suddenly has a billion dollars in debt, can he still stand by and make sarcastic remarks?
"Dad, I heard from my assistant that you haven't been feeling well lately. Are you feeling better now?"
"Since you've heard about it, why don't you come back?" What kind of filial piety is it if you just say a few words of respect? Everyone says that raising children is for old age security, but now it seems that it's a miracle he hasn't been driven to his death by anger.
Xia Wan lowered her head and remained silent; her heart was clearly biased towards Gu Qian.
Xia Qingshan sneered, "I'm fine, I'm not going to die yet."
This time nothing happened, but if something really did happen, it would be too late for Xia Wan to admit her mistake.
Xia Qingshan felt a chill in his heart, unable to understand why the daughter he had raised was biased towards a man who was nothing special.
The more he looked at Gu Qian, the more annoyed he became, wishing he could hit him with a stick. In this situation, Xia Qingshan couldn't lose his temper, so he could only keep a straight face and say, "What are you doing standing here blocking my way? Stand behind me."
Xia Wan walked over silently, and Gu Qian followed closely behind her. He wanted to say something, but he felt that it wouldn't be good to say anything in this kind of occasion. The more he said, the more mistakes he would make, so he decided to remain silent and let Xia Wan speak.
As Xia Wan walked behind Xia Qingshan, she felt as if a gaze was watching her from above, whether it was her imagination or not. She looked up and immediately saw Zhuang Yan.
Upon seeing Zhuang Yan, her eyes involuntarily brightened.
Why is Zhuang Yan here? Did he come with Lu Yan?
Every time Zhuang Yan and Lu Yan appear together, nothing good ever happens. If Xia Qingshan and Lu Yu see them together, they will definitely arrange for someone to kick him out.
Xia Wan had a different idea. She wanted to take Zhuang Yan to catch Lu Yan in the act of adultery so that he could witness it firsthand and completely give up on her.
Xia Wan is impulsive. She had just decided to be with Gu Qian, but as soon as Zhuang Yan's matter came up, she would forget about Gu Qian.
She didn't think about it; even if Zhuang Yan didn't end up with Lu Yan, what did it have to do with her?
Even if Lu Yan isn't there, other women will appear. Zhuang Yan has many choices, but she is the one he will not choose.
Xia Wan went to the restroom, and on her way there she turned around and went to the front desk to ask them to check Zhuang Yan's room information.
...
When Xia Wan returned, Lu Yan appeared at the scene, and Lu Yu quickly introduced her to everyone.
Xia Wan glanced at the corner. Was that the mysterious boss of Yi'an Group? She hadn't expected him to look like that. He was just an ordinary person, practically invisible compared to Zhuang Yan.
But it looks kind of familiar, like I've seen it somewhere before.
Xia Wan thought that someone who could build such a large group would be older, at least the same age as his father, but he was surprised to find that the person was quite young, probably only in his thirties.
Xia Wan looked upstairs, but Zhuang Yan was nowhere to be seen.
Lu Yu led Lu Yan over: "Lu Yan, this is Zhou Quan, the president of Yi An Group."
Lu Yan nodded and smiled: "Hello, President Zhou, I've heard so much about you."
"Hello." The other person nodded.
Lu Yu was busy getting closer to Zhou Quan and didn't notice Zhou Quan's stiff gaze and twitching lips when he saw Lu Yan.
When Lu Yu saw Xia Wan return, he, as her uncle, thoughtfully called her over. It was rare to meet such an important person, so it would be good to make friends with her and get to know her.
"Wanwan, come over and get acquainted. This is Mr. Zhou from Yi'an Group."
Not wanting to lose to Lu Yan, Xia Wan stepped forward gracefully: "Hello, President Zhou. I often hear my father and uncle mention you. It's amazing that you were able to establish the Yi'an Group. By the way, I heard my aunt say that she knows you and that she could introduce me to you. Is that true?"
Lu Yu's expression changed slightly. Lu Yan definitely didn't know Zhou Quan. If she really did know him, there would be no need for him to introduce her. Women always have a vain side, but to say anything without thinking is shameless.
Zhou Quan glanced at Lu Yan before quickly shifting his gaze to Xia Wan: "Really? I don't remember."
Xia Wan scoffed inwardly, knowing that Lu Yan didn't have that ability: "Then maybe Auntie was deceived, or perhaps she mistook someone else for someone else."
Lu Yu quickly smoothed things over: "President Zhou, don't take it to heart."
"I didn't take it to heart. It's my honor to meet Miss Lu tonight."
Lu Yu knew from Zhou Quan's attitude that tonight was a sure thing.
Xia Wan then asked, "President Zhou, there's something I'm curious about: are you and Zhuang Yan very familiar with each other?"
"Not really close."
"...Then why are you helping him so much?"
Zhou Quan replied, "Because he is a friend of my friend. My friend asked me for help, so I helped. Is there a problem?"
Xia Wan felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was strange.
Lu Yan sat down silently next to Zhou Quan, holding a glass of champagne and swirling it in her hand: "Xia Wan, are you a walking encyclopedia? How come you have so many questions?"
Xia Wan wanted to object, but Lu Yu stopped her: "Wanwan, come with me to greet the other guests. Lu Yan, you keep President Zhou company and chat with him."
Receiving a warning look from Lu Yu, Lu Yan obediently nodded: "Okay."
Today, Lu Yan actually looked like a younger sister, and Lu Yu suddenly felt that his hand didn't hurt so much.
Xia Wan felt that Lu Yan's personality was not so easy to control. Why was she so obedient? Could it be that she really had her eye on President Zhou?
As expected, all the love she showed Zhuang Yan was fake. Zhuang Yan should really see her shameless, desperate act; she's utterly worthless.
As soon as Lu Yu and Xia Wan left, Lu Yan took out her phone and called Zhuang Yan in front of Zhou Quan. As soon as the call connected, she said, "Were you spying on me? Be good, go back to your room."
Watching Lu Yan hang up the phone, Zhou Quan's expression was indescribable. He secretly rubbed the goosebumps on his arm. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that Lu Yan, who usually seemed cold and ruthless, had such a sweet and affectionate side.
"Mr. Lu, the drinks in front of you have all been spiked."
If we drink it all, someone will burn to death tonight!
Zhou Quan is Lu Yan's assistant. When it's inconvenient for her to show her face, Zhou Quan will be the one to do it. He can be considered Lu Yan's second-in-command.
This was his boss. When Zhou Quan learned that Lu Yu was going to introduce Lu Yan to him as his mistress and even pack her up and send her to his room for a one-night stand, he was filled with anxiety. He knew it was all an act, but he couldn't help feeling flustered.
