Jiang Ye never expected that Li Jia would join forces with Lu Yuan to lure the Jiang family like a fat fish, and his face immediately turned ugly.
"You dare to scheme against us while you're away from home!"
Seeing Jiang Ye's furious expression, as if he were itching with hatred, Lu Yuan slightly curled the corners of his mouth and leaned close to his ear.
"This isn't our fault. Only a fool would be fooled. Blame it on the Jiang family for being so stupid!"
"you……!"
Jiang Ye raised his finger and pointed at Lu Yuan, as if he wanted to say something, but then he heard Lu Yuan continue speaking.
"Young Master Jiang, cherish the time you have now! You might not be able to be a young master anymore in just a few days!"
After saying that.
Ignoring Jiang Ye's extremely ugly expression, she walked away and ran into Li Xingchi and Jiang Chengping, who were walking back after finishing their business.
"Everything has been settled?"
Lu Yuan smiled and stepped forward, standing next to Li Xingchi.
Li Xingchi nodded to him, then smiled and looked at Jiang Chengping.
"Uncle Jiang, I hope you will think carefully about the suggestion I just made to you. It would be best if you could discuss it with the other elders before giving me an answer. After all, this matter not only concerns you, but also the future of the entire Jiang family."
After saying this, Li Xingchi nodded to Jiang Chengping in a seemingly polite manner.
Seeing Jiang Chengping's extremely gloomy face, Lu Yuan gave him a meaningful smile, then turned and left with Li Xingchi.
"dad."
Jiang Ye, who was not far away, rushed to Jiang Chengping's side and, watching Lu Yuan and Li Xingchi's departing figures, couldn't help but ask.
"What did Stephen Chow say to you?"
"We'll talk about this when we get back."
Faced with Jiang Ye's question, Jiang Chengping frowned, shook his head slightly, and changed the subject.
"Did you just test that kid surnamed Lu? What's the deal between him and the Li family?"
Upon hearing Jiang Chengping's question, Jiang Ye's already unpleasant expression turned even more so.
Seeing his son's expression, Jiang Chengping frowned even more.
"What exactly happened?"
Jiang Ye glanced around, then leaned close to Jiang Chengping and whispered through gritted teeth, "That kid is a member of the Li family! Everything that's happened lately has been a trap he and the Li family had set up beforehand, just waiting for us to walk right into it!"
Upon hearing this...
Jiang Chengping's brows were so furrowed they could trap a fly, and his expression grew even more unpleasant as he recalled what Li Xingchi had just said to him.
"dad!"
Recalling Lu Yuan's arrogant attitude just now, Jiang Ye found it hard to swallow his anger and couldn't help but speak up.
"The Li family has been plotting this for a long time, trying to take over our Jiang family! This matter absolutely cannot be left like this! In my opinion, we should strike first and take them down before the Li family becomes too powerful!"
Jiang Ye spoke with absolute certainty, but Jiang Chengping had no time to think about what he said. He didn't even say anything more and turned to walk out of the banquet hall.
"Let's go home!"
Watching Jiang Chengping's hurried departure, Jiang Ye looked puzzled. Before he could ask any questions, Jiang Chengping had already left the banquet hall. Helpless, he could only follow him.
Before leaving, Jiang Ye turned back as if possessed, and met Lu Yuan's meaningful eyes.
But at that moment he didn't think much of it; it was just that Lu Yuan's amused gaze made him very uncomfortable.
"What are you looking at?"
Li Xingchi, who was standing next to him, seemed to sense something and looked in the direction of Lu Yuan's gaze, but he couldn't find anything and couldn't help but ask a question.
Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head at this.
"Just observing the surroundings."
Li Xingchi laughed upon hearing this.
"Stop observing! You're the star of the night. Come on, I'll introduce you to some of the other friends!"
...
The whole night.
Lu Yuan followed Li Xingchi around the banquet.
Li Xingchi genuinely wanted to win over Lu Yuan, and he showed great sincerity at the banquet.
Lu Yuan had lost count of how many strangers he met that night, but he estimated that there were at least several dozen.
Just greeting people made his mouth dry, so he gulped down two large mouthfuls of water as soon as he returned to the villa.
"I met almost as many people as I do in a year tonight!"
Zhang Ya, who was serving nearby, couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lu. Please get some rest tonight!"
Lu Yuan nodded in agreement.
"You're right, I have indeed been feeling quite tired lately, and I should take a good rest for a while."
Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Zhang Ya was a little slow to react, while Lu Yuan had already turned around and gone upstairs to his room to rest.
After standing there for a moment and thinking about it, Zhang Ya didn't take those words to heart.
What she didn't expect was...
Lu Yuan slept until the afternoon of the next day before getting up.
If Lu Yuan hadn't instructed them beforehand not to go upstairs, she would have been tempted to go up and knock on the door to see if Lu Yuan was cold in his room.
Not only that, when she asked Lu Yuan what his next schedule was, Lu Yuan just waved his hand dismissively.
"I'm going to take a good rest for a while. Don't bother me unless it's important, and don't come looking for me if you need anything."
After saying that.
Without giving Zhang Ya a chance to ask further questions, he turned around and went back upstairs to lock the door.
For the next few days, Lu Yuan basically didn't leave his room except to go downstairs for meals, until Li Xingchi, having received the news, couldn't help but come to his door.
"Lu Yuan, how have you been at the manor lately? Is there anything that's bothering you?"
Lu Yuan leaned back lazily on the sofa and nodded casually.
"It's great! Eat and drink well, sleep when you're full, and eat again when you wake up."
"To be honest, this is the life I've always dreamed of!"
Seeing Lu Yuan's unambitious expression, Li Xingchi couldn't help but twitch his lips.
If he remembers correctly, he should have found a business partner, not brought back a gluttonous ancestor.
However, Li Xingchi could only think these words in his heart and could never say them to Lu Yuan's face.
After an awkward silence, Li Xingchi finally remembered why he had come to find Lu Yuan.
"There's a small party tonight, and I need you to come with me."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow.
"Why would you want me to attend a gathering of people in your industry?"
Li Xingchi smiled.
"They are all very curious about whether you can really raise ordinary pet cubs to have divine beast bloodlines. They are all clamoring for me to take you there so that they can all see for themselves."
"Okay then!"
