The study door was closed, and Lu Anning, who had left, naturally had no idea what they had said in the study. He only vaguely heard the old man mention his name in front of Tang Rui when the door was closing.
Lu Anning smiled and returned to the villa with a clear mind. Xiang Yang was chatting with Tang Jingyuan, but now she had something more important to discuss with Xiang Yang.
Although Ye Lingfei had been making a lot of noise these past few days, Lu Anning was still thinking about his wooden sign. Now, Xiang Yang personally delivered the item to Lu Anning, and both of them felt relieved.
"You dare ask me to bring such an important thing here? Aren't you afraid that I might switch it?"
Xiang Yang made a joke, but Lu Anning didn't take it seriously. He carefully put the things away and poured Xiang Yang a cup of tea to express his gratitude.
"I don't want to go back again for this matter. I trust you."
"Don't trust me too much in the future. It's too stressful."
He couldn't bear the fact that both of them had entrusted their lives and fortunes to him.
The three of them sat and chatted for a while, and Xiang Yang asked, "Are you going to ask the Second Master about the origin of this thing? Or do you want to find your relatives, right?"
Lu Anning smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, but not entirely. It's like seeing something, and suddenly there's a confusion in your heart, which hooks you from time to time and makes you want to explore the truth."
"Since there are clues, you can look for them. No matter whether they are good or bad, you don't have to worry about it with the Tang family here."
Seeing that he was only focused on drinking tea and gossiping about An Ning, which was not at all like his usual taciturn nature, Tang Jingyuan curled his lips.
"Does your family know you're back? I haven't prepared any dinner for you."
Xiang Yang's face darkened immediately when he heard this. "I came here to celebrate the old man's birthday, bring things for your wife, and take care of your son. And now you tell me you didn't prepare dinner? Tang Jingyuan, is there any brother like you?"
"How could the Xiang family still be in need of your meal? Just one word from you, and even the stars in the sky can be cooked for you."
"What's it to me?"
Tang Jingyuan sighed: "It's been several years, why are you still so awkward as a grown man? Uncle Xiang is thinking about you, but he's just being stubborn. That's enough. Don't be ungrateful for what you have. Go back to your own home quickly and stop being a light bulb in front of me."
"Tang Jingyuan, you're destroying the bridge!"
"Brother, this is all for your own good! It's such a small matter, but you can't get over it. You have to wait until Aunt Lan falls ill before you regret it. By then, it will be too late."
Xiang Yang didn't respond, turned his head away, and still didn't smile. After a while, he asked, "Isn't my mother in good health?"
"Even if she's in good health, she can't stand your torture. Does she have to be like me, from childhood..."
"That's enough." Xiang Yang turned around and growled, looking at Tang Jingyuan with disdain: "Sentimentalism doesn't suit you. Even An Ning is disgusted by you."
Lu Anning was still digesting the information from their conversation, imagining a multi-million-word story about a wealthy young master in his mind, when he was suddenly called out. He was stunned for a moment and looked at Tang Jingyuan.
"It's a little unsuitable for you, but it's not disgusting. After all, you're beautiful."
Xiang Yang tutted and couldn't bear to watch: "You lackey!"
Lu Anning smiled and nodded: "In public, he's the boss, and in private, he's my husband. It's not normal for me to be a bit of a bootlicker."
Tang Jingyuan smiled: "You can stay. Even if there is no food, there is plenty of dog food."
Xiang Yang couldn't help but blurt out a national treasure, then stood up and left with a long face.
Tang Jingyuan said with a mean smile, "Why don't you sit for a while? You can save money on a meal."
Xiang Yang waved his hand and said without turning his head, "Just let it go! I can't bear to watch it anymore. Go wash your eyes."
Tang Jingyuan's hearty laughter came from the yard. It was not until Xiang Yang left that he told Lu Anning about Xiang Yang.
They were childhood friends, and Xiang Yang naturally came from the Beijing circle. Back then, they were among the most influential figures in this circle and were geniuses in the eyes of other people's parents.
Unfortunately, Xiang Yang was a hero who could not resist the temptation of beauty and was tricked by his former white moonlight. For that girl, Xiang Yang fell out with his family and moved out alone, willing to give up his family business for that girl.
Who knew that the good times wouldn't last long.
"Not long after, the girl became dissatisfied with Xiang Yang's status as a wealthy young man. She stole his design drawings for a competition and sold them to a competitor for one million yuan. She then went abroad to study. Xiang Yang was deeply shocked and never recovered. He became particularly repulsive to the opposite sex. To this day, he still has not resolved this knot in his heart."
Lu Anning was puzzled: "What does this have to do with him not wanting to go home?"
"This kid is stubborn. When he left, he firmly believed he was in the right, but in the end, he was slapped in the face. He has always felt ashamed to face his parents, which is why he has been so awkward. In the past few years, he has been looking for that girl. Strangely enough, she seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth, with no trace left."
"It seems that the other party doesn't want Xiang Yang to find her."
Tang Jingyuan shrugged: "Maybe, I'll let it go in two years."
After getting the wooden plaque, Lu Anning immediately contacted Tang Lianfeng, eager to ask him to help him take a look. He thought he was in Antique Street, but unexpectedly, he happened to have an auction that evening.
"Perfect! Nothing else, I'll take you two to the auction to have some fun. An Ning, bring the stuff with you, and I'll personally help you take a look at it then."
Tang Lianfeng's words revealed his irrepressible excitement. He wondered what good things would appear at the auction that made him so happy. Lu Anning was also looking forward to it.
