Chapter 25 Where is your home?

At the end of the banquet that day, Fu Yun gave Lu Manman a set of very valuable jewelry as a meeting gift.

The teardrop-shaped emerald gemstones are set in a diamond necklace, sparkling and brilliant, and there are matching rings and earrings, each of which is worth tens of millions.

This set of jewellery has been seen in her wedding photo with Shen Changyuan. She wore it at her wedding.

"This is a gift that Grandma Ayu gave me when I married Changyuan. Now I can finally pass it on to you."

The heirloom was given to Lu Manman before the formal engagement, which shows Fu Yun's recognition and importance for this future daughter-in-law.

The Lu family was indeed very surprised. Lu Manman was flattered and stood up to hug Fu Yun's neck and said coquettishly: "Aunt Wuwu, you love me too much! If I call you mom now, will it be unreserved?"

Fu Yun was almost smiling like a flower.

Mother Lu smiled and said angrily, "You really have no shame."

"Why should I be shy? I'm so happy." Lu Manman took off the necklace from her neck on the spot, "This necklace is so beautiful, Ayu, help me put it on."

Shen Yu took the necklace and helped her put it on.

Lu Manman's joy was beyond words, her eyes were as bright as stars, and the elders all looked pleased.

Frost Preface was sitting across the table, as if she were under the stage, watching a happy drama under the spotlight that had nothing to do with her.

Fu Yun and Lu's mother praised her for how beautiful it looked. Lu Manman asked Shuang Xu again, "Xiao Jiu, does it look good?"

Shuang Xu said, "It looks good."

Lu Manman smiled and said, "Since you say it looks good, then it really does look good."

Perhaps it would be more wonderful to have your happiness witnessed by your rival in love.

Shuang Xu thought, if I had known earlier I would have said something rude to upset her.

Seeing this, Lu's mother thought the two were being intimate: "You two really get along well."

"We are the same age," Lu Manman said, "so we have a lot in common."

Shuangxu didn't feel that they had a common language.

Her life trajectories do not overlap with Lu Manman's at all, and they each live in Yancheng in different periods. Lu Manman has parents who love her but she does not, and she has never experienced or understood her fear of being abandoned.

The only thing they have in common is probably their similar aesthetic taste.

After the banquet, Shen Yu and Lu Manman walked in front as they came out of Wangchun Tower.

Lu Manman took Fu Yun's arm and acted coquettishly, calling her "Auntie" sweetly, which made Fu Yun smile.

Shuang Xu walked at the end, and in front of her was He Tingzhou.

He Tingzhou put his hands in his pockets and walked lazily, gradually drifting away from the person in front of him.

On the corridor, while the people in front couldn't hear, Shuang Xu thanked him: "Brother Tingzhou, thank you for your help today."

She has worn the clothes before, so He Tingzhou probably won’t want them again.

"How much is your shirt?" she asked sincerely, "or I'll compensate you for a new one."

He Tingzhou glanced sideways and said, "And then let you keep it for yourself?"

"…Why would I hide your clothes?"

"Then you have to ask yourself," He Tingzhou said lazily, "what do you want to do with my clothes?"

"I'm not that perverted." Shuang Xu felt that she had become numb and might soon accept the fact that she was a toad.

"Then I'll wash it and return it to you."

On the way home in the car, Fu Yun looked at Shuang Xu's clothes which had changed drastically. It was no longer recognizable as a cheongsam.

"Where did you get it in such a short time?"

"Borrowed." She answered vaguely.

"If we were having a normal meal, we would have bumped into each other, but today the circumstances are special and I'm sorry you've been wronged." Shen Changyuan sounded apologetic.

"No." Shuang Xu said calmly, "As long as it doesn't affect everyone's mood."

"You and Manman have similar tastes. What a coincidence that you're wearing the same thing."

Shuang Xu smiled but said nothing.

After returning home, she sent He Tingzhou's shirt to be dry cleaned. She originally wanted to ask Shen Yu for his WeChat, but after thinking about it, she decided to ask Yue Zifeng.

Yue Zifeng asked: "Why do you need your brother Tingzhou's WeChat?"

Shuang Xu made up a half-true and half-false excuse: "Last time when we were having dinner at Wangyue Tower, he left his clothes behind and I returned them to him."

Yue Zifeng knew that the Shen and Lu families had dinner at Wangyue Tower. He didn't care and said, "Just throw it away. Your brother Tingzhou's clothes are all disposable. He never uses them a second time."

You can throw it away, but you can't let her, a close relative of the bullfrog, get away with it.

Shuang Xu said, "It's not good for me to throw it, so let him throw it himself."

Yue Zifeng forwarded He Tingzhou's business card to him: "I've already said hello to him, just add him directly."

He Tingzhou's portrait is a piece of water, a piece of clear, sparkling water, like the sea in the Maldives, a very pure aqua blue.

It's completely different from his temperament.

Shuang Xu's friend request was sent and was added successfully quickly.

[Brother Tingzhou, I have washed your shirt, how can I return it to you? ]

He Tingzhou replied simply: [Send it over]

Shuang Xu: [Then I will send it to your company tomorrow morning]

He Tingzhou: [You want to spread a scandal with me whenever you get the chance, right? Should I hold a press conference for you and buy some press releases to announce it to the world?]

How many women have thrown themselves at him to make him so sensitive?

Shuang Xu had no choice but to say: [Then I'll take you home. Where is your home? ]

He Tingzhou sent me a location: [Bring me a cake]

It seems that he wants her to send it over now.

It was a pity to take someone else's clothes. After all, he helped a lot last time, so Shuang Xu had no complaints.

She didn't know He Tingzhou's taste, but he seemed to like blueberry mousse, so she found a store on the way and bought one.

The address He Tingzhou sent her was in a villa in Yanxi. When Shuang Xu arrived, the whole villa was brightly lit, but it was quiet, without a single sound.

The door opened automatically, and she walked in carrying the cake and clothes. The 6-meter-high living room was transparent and spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the neatly trimmed lawn. There was a large swimming pool outside, filled with water, and the water surface reflected the garden lights.

There was not even an aunt at home, so Shuang Xu didn't want to move around. She sat in the living room and waited for a while. She planned to send a message to He Tingzhou to say that the things had been delivered, but she left first.

Before I finished typing, I heard lazy and dragging footsteps coming from the second floor.

He Tingzhou looked like he had just taken a shower. He was wearing a black round-neck sweatshirt and casual pants, with his short hair stained with moisture. The relaxed feeling of being at home weakened the harshness of his aura.

"Brother Tingzhou." Shuangxu stood up and just finished greeting him when he saw a Doberman Pinscher following him.

She was not afraid of dogs, but she could not help but feel nervous about such large, strong, adult carnivorous animals.

The Doberman is a fierce breed of dog, and He Tingzhou's Doberman looks particularly strong, and its weight may be as heavy as hers.

He Tingzhou came over, and Du Bin followed him.

He Tingzhou sat down on the sofa to the left of Shuangxu, opened the cake, picked up the fork and started eating, saying, "Sit down."

Shuang Xu was just about to sit down when He Tingzhou said, "I'm talking about the dog."

"...Oh." Her butt was frozen in mid-air, and she was neither sitting nor standing.

Just when she was about to leave, she saw the Doberman walking around the coffee table, coming to her right side and sitting down.

The dog looked serious and majestic, staring at her motionlessly.

Shuang Xu's body was a little stiff, and he comforted himself by saying that domestic dogs are generally well-trained and will not bite people randomly.

But it's hard to say, because He Tingzhou himself has no character... No, what she meant was that people in He Tingzhou are not good people, so how could the dogs they raise be good dogs?

She stared at the Doberman, and the dog stared at her. The man and the dog confronted each other for a moment, and she couldn't resist at first.

Just when she was about to give in and look away, the dog came over and sniffed her, then licked her hand with its tongue.

"Ah!" Shuang Xu almost jumped up, and reflexively took a big step towards He Tingzhou.
