Inside the private room.
Yan Yan was on the verge of tears, with tears welling up in her reddened eyes, looking pitiful and heartbreaking.
Apart from Zhuang Wen, everyone looked at Yan Yan with tension and concern.
Lu Nanzhong's deep, unfathomable eyes were filled with anxiety as he kept asking, "What's wrong? Tell me quickly, Dad will stand up for you. If anyone dares to bully you, I'll tear them to pieces and throw them into the sea to feed the fish!"
Zhuang Wen trembled upon hearing this.
Zhuang Wen looked at Yan Yan nervously.
Yan Yan happened to glance at him at that moment and clearly saw the meaning in his eyes.
For some reason, she found it somewhat amusing, and her sadness quickly faded away.
"Tell us quickly, you silly child, you're driving us crazy!"
Xu Honglian was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Yan Yan wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, then smiled, revealing a smile that was both crying and laughing: "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just remembered my ex-boyfriend. He looks a bit like... second brother-in-law."
"Ex-boyfriend?"
Lu An'an frowned. "How come I've never heard of you being in a relationship?"
When did you start dating? How come we didn't know?
Lu Nanzhong asked hurriedly, his brows furrowed, looking very nervous.
"Slave to his daughter".
Zhuang Wen muttered to himself.
What's the rush?
Xu Honglian then spoke up, "Yan Yan is just dating. She's so old, she should be dating."
"But we didn't know about this, and we don't even know when they broke up..."
Lu Nanzhong frowned and spoke.
"Who do you think you are, meddling in everything? Even if you're still the president of the Lu Group, you can't control everything, you know?"
Xu Honglian rolled her eyes at him.
"I'm just concerned about my daughter, that's all. I'm afraid she'll be scammed."
Lu Nanzhong explained with a forced smile.
When did you start dating?
Lu An'an asked curiously.
"It's just... a couple of days ago, but we've already broken up, so you don't need to overthink it."
Yan Yan's eyes darted around, and she spoke hurriedly.
"Is it Li Xuan, Wang Xu, or Zhang Tuyu?"
Lu An'an thought for a moment and then named a few people.
These guys are all campus heartthrobs at Qingjiang University, and Yan Yan is pursuing them relentlessly.
"No, that's not it. Don't make wild guesses. There's nothing between him and me, otherwise we wouldn't have broken up so quickly."
Yan Yan hurriedly stopped her.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. It's getting late, let's eat first."
Xu Honglian checked the time and realized it was already past 12:30. She was also hungry, so she quickly invited everyone to sit down.
Seeing that Lu An'an still wanted to ask, Xu Honglian gently patted her head and said softly, "Are you still not done? If you really want to know, ask after you finish eating, or you can just ask her classmate."
"I was just asking casually, since her situation was so sudden."
Lu An'an stuck out her little tongue, looking adorable, and quickly found a seat to sit down, obediently waiting for the meal to be served.
"Zhuang Wen, take a seat and sit down. Now it's time to eat. Are you hungry?"
Xu Honglian pulled Zhuang Wen to sit down at the table and then introduced him: "This is my third child, Lu Yanyan, also a second-year graduate student at Qingjiang University, just like the fourth child."
"Yes, studying is really good."
Zhuang Wen laughed and said, "I graduated from Qingjiang University with a bachelor's degree. I originally wanted to stay there to pursue a master's degree, but not only was I not selected by my advisor, I also failed the entrance exam..."
"Hahaha……"
A group of people started laughing.
Lu Nanzhong said, "You can study and take the exam now. I'll have Ruxue transfer you to a less demanding job so you have enough time to study."
"It's alright, Uncle."
Zhuang Wen hurriedly said, "The sales department isn't tired either."
Lu Nanzhong glanced at Zhuang Wen and nodded, saying, "You decide for yourself."
Lu Yanyan glanced at Zhuang Wen nonchalantly, then sat down on his left without making a sound.
Lu Ruxue naturally sat down to Zhuang Wen's right.
Lu Linglong glanced at Lu Yanyan, then could only sit sullenly to Lu Ruxue's right.
Lu An'an sat to Lu Yan's left and glanced at her.
"Even if you keep looking at me, I won't talk to you anymore. Forget about it!"
Lu Yanyan gave a coquettish snort, turned her head and looked in Zhuang Wen's direction, refusing to look at Lu An'an.
Lu An'an wasn't angry; her curved eyebrows and eyes were filled with a smile.
"Serve the food."
With Lu Nanzhong's command.
One by one, the waiters filed in, each carrying a delicious dish, which they placed on the table.
"It's getting late, everyone, let's eat."
Xu Honglian started by inviting everyone to eat, especially Zhuang Wen, who was particularly enthusiastic, "Xiao Zhuang, you still have to go to work this afternoon, right? What would you like to eat? Thanks to you today, we're all family..."
Zhuang Wen said modestly, "Auntie, you flatter me. I didn't help much. The police officer was able to subdue these two thugs."
"Thank you so much, brother-in-law."
Lu An'an stood up, toasted Zhuang Wen with a bright smile, and said, "I'll thank you with a beverage instead of wine. I'll toast you again when I get home another day."
"Haha, you're welcome."
Zhuang Wen laughed heartily, picked up his teacup, and gently touched it to his lips.
"snort."
Lu Yan Yan let out a barely perceptible soft moan.
Looking at Zhuang Wenxi's beaming face, she felt a surge of anger for no reason.
She seized the opportunity and kicked Zhuang Wen's shin with her little foot.
Zhuang Wen frowned, put down his teacup, and glanced at Lu Yan Yan without leaving a trace.
When Lu Yan Yan saw Zhuang Wen looking at her, she deliberately raised her face, revealing her pointed chin, and adopted a cold and arrogant demeanor.
Seeing this, Zhuang Wen took the opportunity of getting a drink of water to give himself a helpless smile.
Lu Ruxue's expression was cold as she picked up the serving chopsticks and placed a chicken leg on Zhuang Wen's plate.
"Thanks."
Zhuang Wen smiled at her and lowered his head to eat.
Seeing this scene, Lu Linglong felt inexplicably depressed.
However, Lu Nanzhong and Xu Honglian found the scene quite satisfying.
The two exchanged a smile, their understanding unspoken.
You see, they cared a lot about Lu Ruxue's marriage and were very worried about it, fearing that Lu Ruxue would not be able to get married and that she would not marry well.
Fortunately, Zhuang Wen appeared by her side.
Although she took it upon herself to register the marriage without saying a word, Zhuang Wen left a very good impression on both of them during their two meetings.
Especially this time, he even helped Lu An'an.
This caused their feelings of goodwill towards Zhuang Wen to skyrocket, and their satisfaction with the marriage between Lu Ruxue and Zhuang Wen to increase dramatically.
Seeing that Zhuang Wen ignored her, Lu Yan Yan was furious.
She looked at Zhuang Wen with jealousy, occasionally exchanging a word with Lu Ruxue.
Especially when they saw the two figures getting closer and exchanging breaths, their eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
Although not particularly close, they were close enough in this setting.
She misunderstood Zhuang Wen and Lu Ruxue.
