Chapter 5 Pretending to be strong
Because it was Lu Huaijin's birthday party, Xia Nanxing came very early and moved closer to Lu Huaijin as soon as she arrived.
"Don't follow me, go play by yourself. I have something to discuss with someone." Lu Huaijin rudely drove him away.
Xia Nanxing continued to cling to him without hesitation, "No, I want to follow you."
The mission was about to be completed, so how could she let it go? Xia Nanxing wanted to follow Lu Huaijin closely and protect his safety tonight.
The time when Lu Huaijin had a car accident a few years ago really scared her.
If Lu Huaijin had died at that time, her mission would have failed, and she would have suffered a heart attack and would have died.
To put it bluntly, Lu Huaijin is her heart and her life!
Everyone in the circle knew about Xia Nanxing's obsession with Lu Huaijin. People who came to the banquet saw the two of them standing together, like a golden boy and a jade girl, and couldn't help but tease Lu Huaijin.
The teasing made Lu Huaijin's smile unnatural.
It seemed like everyone was certain that Xia Nanxing would become Mrs. Lu.
What Lu Huaijin thinks is not important at all.
Xia Nanxing was shaking the wine glass, looking around, looking for the figure of the villain Uncle Lu. When he turned around, he was inexplicably glared at by Lu Huaijin for several times.
[Eh~ System, is Lu Huaijin crazy? I didn't provoke him.]
[Maybe he was unhappy after seeing the fake young master Lu Jiashu?]
The human heart is hard to guess, and the man’s heart is even harder to guess, and the system is powerless.
[Ah, Lu Jiashu is really here. Isn't he embarrassed?]
Although the Lu family recognized Lu Huaijin as the real young master, it was impossible for them to give up the fake young master they had trained for many years.
The wrong child was taken away that year, and after investigation it was found to be an accident. Lu Jiashu's biological parents had passed away, and they did not deliberately mistreat Lu Huaijin, so Lu Jiashu naturally stayed in the Lu family.
Speaking of which, Lu Jiashu is Xia Nanxing's childhood sweetheart, but unfortunately the two have never gotten along.
They went to the same high school. When Xia Nanxing was pursuing Lu Huaijin, Lu Jiashu made fun of her so much that he would mock her whenever they met.
Later, the matter of the real and fake young master was exposed. Without the title of Lu family's young master and the capital to be Xia Nanxing's mortal enemy, Lu Jiashu suddenly fell into obscurity.
Although he also works in the company, he is only in charge of the family's entertainment industry, and his momentum is no match for Lu Huaijin.
Seeing Lu Jiashu approaching, before Lu Huaijin could say anything, Xia Nanxing immediately spoke bluntly, "Today is Huaijin's birthday party. Why are you here too? What are you doing here?"
They both had the same birthday, one of them threw a grand birthday party while the other sat on the bench. Xia Nanxing felt so embarrassed for him when she thought about it.
"Dad asked me to come." Lu Jiashu smiled slightly. "Xingxing came early today. But the other Miss Xia seemed to have come even earlier."
Are you making fun of her and bullying her? Xia Nanxing pointed at Lu Jiashu with a warning look.
Lu Jiashu ignored him and gestured to Lu Huaijin with his wine glass, reminding him, "Brother, when I came over just now, I saw that Xia Yingying seemed to be in some trouble. Do you want to go over and take a look?"
Lu Huaijin's expression tightened and he turned to look for Xia Yingying.
"Hey~Brother Huaijin? Damn you, Lu Jiashu, you're really looking for trouble!"
Xia Nanxing lifted her skirt and immediately tried to catch up, but Lu Jiashu grabbed her wrist.
"Why did you follow him? Are you asking for trouble? Can't you clear your mind? Can't you see that Lu Huaijin is annoying you? I just saw him glaring at you when I came over. After all these years, your brain still hasn't healed."
Xia Nanxing punched him twice and retorted, "Your brain is not healed. You are not the young master of the Lu family anymore, why are you still staying in the Lu family? Do you really think that the Lu family will give you a good life in the future? A man like you who is greedy for wealth and fame can have no good ending."
The Lu family trained the fake young master so well, so naturally they couldn't just leave him unused. All the dirty work in the family was taken over by the fake young master Lu Jiashu.
In this parallel world, Lu Huaijin is the male protagonist. By the end of the story, the Lu family will be fine, but who knows what will happen after the end?
Lu Jiashu naturally knew that what he was doing was risky.
They poked each other's lungs, and both of them looked unhappy.
The air was dead silent for two seconds.
Xia Nanxing cleared her throat awkwardly, "Ahem, um, happy birthday. I'm going to look for Lu Huaijin, and I'll come back to settle the score with you."
Watching Xia Nanxing chasing Lu Huaijin away, Lu Jiashu lowered his eyes, took a sip of wine, and murmured softly, "It turns out someone still remembers my birthday today."
He thought that everyone could only see Lu Huaijin, especially Xia Nanxing, who was in love.
"Just for the sake of that happy birthday." Lu Jiashu muttered to himself and quickly followed Xia Nanxing's pace.
But he was still a step too late. When he arrived, Lu Huaijin was already angrily condemning Xia Nanxing.
"Make your brother apologize, otherwise this matter will not end."
"Why? Xia Yingying fell down on her own. What does it have to do with my brother?" Xia Nanxing complained aggrievedly. "You haven't even asked for the truth yet, and you're already protecting Xia Yingying! Who do you think I am?"
Lu Huaijin gritted his teeth, "I saw Xia Wenbo push someone with my own eyes! Xia Nanxing, do you believe me? Or do you believe your brother?"
[It was indeed Xia Wenbo who did this. After taunting Xia Yingying, he tried to push her out of the way and didn't notice the corner of the table behind him.] The system gave a timely reminder.
【It was really my brother who did this.】
Now Xia Nanxing was too embarrassed to make excuses.
But Xia Wenbo did this for her. How could she let her own people down and let Xia Wenbo bow his head in front of Lu Huaijin?
Anyone can bring this up, except her.
Seeing Xia Nanxing fall silent, Lu Huaijin continued to force Xia Nanxing to make a choice, and warned with a cold face: "Xia Nanxing, ask your brother to apologize."
He dared to use Xia Nanxing to force Xia Wenbo to apologize because he was sure that Xia Wenbo would not dare to offend Xia Nanxing, his half-sister. He was the only son of the Lu family, but Xia Wenbo was not. The Xia family had many children. If Xia Wenbo wanted to get promoted in the future, he would definitely need Xia Nanxing's support.
"I..." Xia Nanxing's nails were almost pinching her hands to pieces. She really couldn't open her mouth.
She is in love and can be a bootlicker without any dignity, but she cannot use Xia Wenbo's dignity as a stepping stone.
Lu Jiashu came over at this moment, "Brother, uncle is here, don't you go talk to him?"
Although he came to help, he was the one who caused the trouble. Xia Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but secretly glared at him, cursing in his heart: Troublemaker, troublemaker, why do you always stir up trouble everywhere!
But Xia Nanxing still followed his words and said, "Yes, Brother Huaijin, why don't we get down to business first."
She tried to get over the matter and wanted to pull Lu Huaijin away from this place of trouble.
But as soon as she stretched out her hand, Lu Huaijin dodged sideways.
The atmosphere was freezing cold.
Xia Nanxing put down his hand in disappointment, his smile a little bitter.
"My life is so miserable, System. Will Lu Huaijin stop me from following him today? What if something happens to him during such an important time tonight?"
[Host, you follow him without his consent.]
[That's right. It's not like I've been so persistent.]
She continued to stretch out her hand firmly, "Brother Huaijin, don't be angry, I..."
Xia Wenbo glanced at his disappointing sister, shrugged his shoulders with a casual expression, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I didn't mean to push Xia Yingying just now."
The moment Xia Nanxing heard Xia Wenbo's apology, he suddenly couldn't continue to say the words of surrender. His mouth unconsciously pursed and his eyes became sore.
It was Xia Wenbo who bowed his head and apologized, but she was the one who felt so wronged that she wanted to cry.
It would be too humiliating to cry in front of so many people. Xia Nanxing sniffed and pretended to be strong.
[System, can you see through my vulnerability and give me more money? ]
【hehe. 】
