Chapter 150 Mysterious Guest
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lu Chennuan smiled bitterly. "You are now the young master of the Yin family. Old Master Yin values you, and everyone is afraid of and respects you. I also don't want you to target the Lu family because of me after you take over the Yin family."
Shi Yan said calmly, "You're overthinking it. I'm not the kind of person who mixes public and private matters."
He glanced upstairs. "Someone saw Lu Han go up to the restaurant. Let's go look for him together."
Lu Chennuan's face lit up with joy. "Thank you."
Indeed, you can't be too forceful when dealing with a man like Shi Yan.
She should be like Su Youling, putting on an innocent and gentle act to seduce men and win every time.
Unfortunately, when Shi Yan goes upstairs later and sees Su Youling and Lu Han rolling around together, even if he still likes Su Youling, Grandpa Yin won't approve.
Lu Chennuan's lips curled up slightly, and she could hardly suppress the smile in her eyes.
The two went up to the third floor, where only the reception staff were present.
The banquet was almost over, and since no one was going to be so tactless as to come up and join in the fun after hearing that Old Master Yin was hosting guests here, no one dared to do so.
The question is, what about Mr. Yin and his guests?
It's eerily quiet here!
Lu Chennuan looked puzzled for a moment. "Shiyan, isn't your grandfather here?"
"Grandpa wasn't feeling well and left after entertaining the guests." Shi Yan glanced at her indifferently. "Are you here to see Lu Han, or to see my grandfather?"
"Don't overthink it. I'm just curious what kind of important guest could make the old man personally entertain you." Lu Chennuan suppressed the strange feeling of panic and quietly looked around the third floor. The only place where someone could hide to do that kind of thing was the bathroom.
"Could Lu Han have passed out drunk in the bathroom?" Lu Chennuan sighed. "That guy is such a worry."
Sure enough, a strange noise came from the bathroom at that moment.
The sound came from inside the toilet stall.
Lu Chennuan glanced inside, feigning modesty, "Shi Yan, it's not convenient for me to go in there, you should..."

"Could you go check if my brother is drunk?"
If Shi Yan can witness that spectacular scene firsthand, then tonight's objective will be achieved.
Shi Yan did not refuse and went in to open the door to the cubicle.
Lu Han collapsed to the ground, face down, without even letting out a wail.
His body was unnaturally curled up, his arms were awkwardly dangling to his sides like prosthetics, and his legs were twisted and bent, making him look like a shrimp that had just gone mad.
It's the kind where the person is completely unconscious.
Lu Chennuan only glanced at him briefly, only seeing his back. His clothes were dirty and messy, and his hair was disheveled. He didn't seem like someone who should look like this after a passionate encounter...
How come he really looks like he's passed out from drunkenness?
"Shiyan, how is my brother?" Lu Chennuan peered inside worriedly, but she couldn't hear any movement from Su Youling.
Did she run away?
However, she hired many informants to keep an eye on things. If Su Youling was drugged and tried to run away, she would be stopped and exposed in public, ruining her reputation.
"It's nothing serious, he was just knocked unconscious," Shi Yan said casually. "Find someone to help carry him back to the Lu family."
Lu Chennuan was startled and rushed in. She turned Lu Han over and was immediately shocked.
Who is this ugly monster covered in wounds?
Lu Han, a grown man, could he have been beaten up like this by Su Youling?
But apart from Su Youling, no other guests had been here, and the staff couldn't possibly have done anything; it seemed there was only one possibility.
Su Youling's gentleness
It was all an act; she was playing dumb all along.
"How could he be beaten like this? This is outrageous!" Lu Chennuan frowned as she looked at Shi Yan. "This is at the Yin family's banquet, and nothing like this has ever happened before. Lu Han was beaten so badly, which is a disgrace to our Lu family. I must seek justice for the Lu family."
Shi Yan responded perfunctorily, "That's right. Although Lu Han is unruly and only causes trouble, he's always the one beating others up. This is the first time he's been dealt with so badly. Our Yin family won't stand idly by."
Shi Yan called for people to carry Lu Han out, but instead of taking him to the hospital, he was simply thrown onto the carpet.
Lu Chennuan's eyelids twitched; she felt something was off.
"Did any of you see who beat Young Master Lu up like this?" Shi Yan asked.
The maids looked around, and one of them stepped forward and whispered, "Today, apart from Mr. Yin and his guests, no outsiders have come up to the third floor. We don't know when this young master Lu quietly came up here."
Shi Yan frowned. "A bunch of useless trash. In such a small place, Young Master Lu was beaten half to death, and not a single person noticed?"
The maid stammered, "Young Master, it's not that we didn't notice... Old Master Yin's guest went to the restroom and was drugged and forced by this Young Master Lu, and that's how it happened. The old master forbade us to talk about it, and only told Young Master Lu to get out when he woke up."
Lu Chennuan's face paled. "Lu Han flirted with Mr. Yin's guest?"
This useless thing!
Where did Su Youling go?
Could it be...?
A terrifying thought surfaced in Lu Chennuan's mind, her expression changed, and she subconsciously swallowed the thought back.
Absolutely impossible!
Given Mr. Yin's status, how could he possibly know a mere canary named Su Youling with a tarnished reputation?

Although she was unwilling that Su Youling hadn't been caught in bed with someone else by Shi Yan, it wasn't worth it for that idiot Lu Han to offend the old man, so she had to show some respect.
"Shi Yan, I'm sorry. Lu Han is a prodigal son who needs to be taught a lesson. I will definitely have my family give him a good talking-to when I get back." Lu Chennuan lowered her eyes and apologized. "I wonder where Mr. Yin's guest is, and whether he was injured? I am willing to go and apologize in person. In the end, it is all because the Lu family has not disciplined him properly."
A cold glint flashed in Shi Yan's eyes.
The maid glanced at him and whispered, "The old gentleman has settled the guests in the West Garden Villa and instructed that no one should disturb them tonight."
Lu Chennuan frowned.
West Garden Villa?
Isn't that a taboo place for the Yin family?
It is said that someone once got lost while attending a banquet and wandered into Xiyuan Villa. As a result, he was permanently blacklisted by the Yin family, and his business career plummeted.
It's obvious they've been suppressed by the Yin family!
What kind of important guest could be so well treated by Mr. Yin?
Why didn't she notice tonight?
However... this is an opportunity.
"Shi Yan, I'd like to come back tomorrow to apologize in person, is that alright?" Lu Chennuan said sincerely, "After all, it was a member of the Lu family who made a mistake, and I can't just stand by and do nothing."
The Yin family is not a place that just anyone can enter.
If she can find an excuse to stay overnight, the joke about being abandoned from dancing will become a thing of the past, and outsiders will only think that she has been treated well by the Yin family.
"However, I'm worried that our distinguished guest may leave too soon..."
“Then stay here for the night,” Shi Yan said unexpectedly. “Lu Han is half-dead, so we should get him to the hospital as soon as possible, lest he die at the Yin family’s house. If you want to apologize for Lu Han, and I want to find out how Lu Han drugged him, we need people from both sides to be present.”
