Chapter 76 The Truth King
Rong Hengyu was sitting there, engrossed in playing a mobile game.
Hearing Liang Qian's words, he responded, "Huh? There's cake too?"
During a break in the game, she glanced up at Xin Yang.
The group of friends all watched as Xin Yang, without anyone noticing, placed a round box on his lap and opened it.
Inside was a messy, disorganized cake.
Despite its messy appearance, the abundance of cookie crumbs and nut pieces makes it seem... quite delicious.
Meanwhile, Xin Yang found a spoon somewhere and was scooping cake from the box and putting it in his mouth.
The meal was incredibly satisfying.
Rong Hengyu looked at the round takeout box and had a strange sense of foreboding. "Why do I remember this box... wasn't it brought by A-Chuan?"
“It’s not just a possibility,” Su Yi said, releasing Xin Yang and silently distancing himself from him. “It was he who brought it.”
"He seems to have gone to celebrate his wife's birthday today, so this..." Liang Qian looked at the cake that Xin Yang was putting into his mouth.
Xin Yang, still confused, blinked and looked at them, "Why are you all staring at me like that? Want some?"
Li Chaolun waved his hand, his usually smiling face now beaming even brighter, "No, no."
Liang Qian said, "I don't eat sweets."
Rong Hengyu: "I want my life."
Just then, a cool voice came from the direction of the restroom, "Who told you to touch my cake..."
When Lu Yanchuan came out of the restroom, he saw that there was hardly any cake left in the half-box that Shen Li had modified.
Xin Yang is already in this state, Lu Yanchuan wouldn't let him do anything right now. Dealing with him is a matter for later.
As for how Xin Yang apologized with thorns on his back the next day, let's leave that aside for now.
At this moment, apart from Xin Yang, who was already completely drunk, there was no one else around.
The other old friends were all quite sober, drinking and chatting slowly.
"Are you going to the party next weekend?" Rong Hengyu asked casually, his eyes glued to the game screen on his phone, his fingers flying across the keyboard, without even looking up.
"A party?" Li Chaolun asked, puzzled. "What kind of party?"
Liang Qian replied, "Jianggao's alumni reunion is held every year. It's organized by the school and the student council members from that year."
Lu Yanchuan wasn't very interested in hearing this, and said, "I'm not going."
Li Chaolun also shook his head, "Let's not go."
Rong Hengyu didn't even lift his eyes. Because he was multitasking, his voice sounded very weak.
“Other classes also held events, and the atmosphere was quite good. Old classmates, after all, friendship is always more precious. But our class’s was just not very interesting.” Rong Hengyu pursed his lips.
Liang Qian nodded, "Those who know, know."
Li Chaolun nodded, "Indeed, those who know, know."
They were in an international class, which was almost entirely made up of second-generation rich kids.
So if their class were to have a reunion, it probably wouldn't really be about reminiscing about the past.
It was basically a business banquet disguised as a class reunion.
If their companies actually have any new ideas for cooperation, that would be fine.
But given their family's circumstances, it's really not worth it for them to go to a class reunion to seek cooperation opportunities.
They seek, and others seek them.
Then this international class gathering wouldn't mean much to them.
Liang Qian: "Then I won't go."
Su Yi didn't have any objections.
Confused and bewildered, Xin Yang suddenly came closer, "Not going? Why aren't you going?"
Su Yi pushed his head away, "Stop messing around."
Xin Yang muttered, "If you guys aren't going, I'm going. I'll sneak into other classes' parties. Our class's parties are boring, but the other classes' parties are really fun."
Liang Qian laughed, "You're really smart."
“Then I’ll go hang out in other classes too,” Rong Hengyu said.
At that age in middle school, who doesn't have friends from other classes? People with good interpersonal skills, like Xin Yang, are popular throughout the entire grade.
Li Chaolun patted Lu Yanchuan on the shoulder and said, "You've got it easy. Just go to your wife's class party and participate as a family member."
Lu Yanchuan didn't say anything after hearing this, but only slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
The topic quickly faded away.
Su Yi asked Lu Yanchuan, "You almost got into trouble in Lancheng before, has that matter been investigated and cleared up?"
If Su Yi hadn't brought this up, everyone would have seen Lu Yanchuan now, all unharmed, and might have temporarily forgotten about what happened before.
As soon as Su Yi mentioned it, they all remembered it.
Li Chaolun hurriedly said, "Damn, right! Seeing that they're all intact now, I almost forgot about that!"
Rong Hengyu even put down his phone. "I was almost scared to death when I saw that photo!"
Liang Qian frowned and said, "Logically speaking, that news shouldn't have been leaked back then. It definitely feels like someone's doing it."
Liang Qian was right; news about Lu Yanchuan's safety was not good for the Lu family.
Let alone the fact that Lu Yanchuan is not in danger, even if he were, such news would probably be suppressed immediately.
It was leaked right away, and the photos were so visually striking, regardless of whether Lu Yanchuan was in danger at the time.
Just looking at that photo is enough to be frightening.
Lu Yanchuan twitched the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Lu Yanchuan's expression, his old friends knew that things were probably looking up.
"You found it?"
Who was behind this?
"Who else could it be?" Lu Yanchuan said calmly, "My dear cousin."
Liang Qian: "Lu Mingyi?"
They had all heard about the internal struggles within the Lu family, and were certainly aware of them.
This young master, Lu Mingyi, who is said to be on par with Lu Yanchuan in every aspect, appears to be approachable and unambitious.
But in this industry, who isn't ambitious?
"Lu Mingyi?! What happened to Lu Mingyi?!" Xin Yang looked completely clueless, asking questions here and there, like a badger in a melon patch who was desperate because it couldn't get any melons.
Oh, there are also those who lack ambition. Probably someone like Xin Yang.
Several friends looked at Xin Yang with pity and sympathy.
Su Yi turned to Lu Yanchuan and said, "But this incident should serve as a warning to you. Be careful from now on, and it's always better to be safe than sorry."
Rong Hengyu: "Yes, and it seems that Old Master Lu's health is getting worse and worse, isn't it?"
Liang Qian frowned: "A storm is brewing."
Li Chaolun chimed in, "A storm is brewing..."
Xin Yang blinked, quite puzzled, and said, "Is a storm brewing? No way, if it were really that serious and urgent, Brother Chuan wouldn't have been arguing with his wife about divorce a while ago, would he?"
Liang Qian: "..."
Li Chaolun: "..."
Rong Hengyu: "..."
Su Yi: "Pfft~"
Lu Yanchuan glared at Xin Yang, unable to contain himself any longer. "Damn it, I'll sew your mouth shut one of these days! One of you call Xin Hao and tell him to come and take this guy away right now!"
