"How's that brat doing?"
It would be a lie to say I don't care; there's no father in the world who doesn't care about his son.
Remembering what the old steward had said before leaving—that he could use any means necessary—Dongfang Shuo was worried that if the old steward actually did that, Dongfang Shuo would definitely hold a grudge against him. He asked the old steward with some concern.
"Don't worry about that. This time, the young master came back on his own initiative, and he promised never to run away from home again."
The old steward understood what Dongfang Xingchen meant by those words—he wanted to see how he would bring Dongfang Shuo back. Dongfang Shuo heard the second half and was about to retort, but the old steward stopped him.
Seeing the old butler's gaze, Dongfang Shuo didn't say anything more.
He knew that of all the people in the family, only this old housekeeper treated him relatively well.
"Alright, I'll reward you handsomely this time you're back. Since he won't run away again, take him with you to broaden his horizons during this auction."
Upon hearing the old butler's reply, Dongfang Xingchen stood up with great joy.
He only had one child, Dongfang Shuo, and he was waiting for him to take over the family business. Dongfang Shuo had never given him any peace of mind since he was a child, and he had always been making a fuss about running away from home. This time, he finally agreed not to run away from home.
Since Dongfang Shuo showed no intention of leaving, there was no need for him to stay any longer.
This auction is also a good opportunity for my son to broaden his horizons.
"I understand what you mean."
Upon hearing Dongfang Xingchen's instructions, the old butler understood what he had to do.
"What do you mean I won't leave again? Did I say that to you?"
Dongfang Shuo, who had been listening the whole time, waited until the old butler hung up the phone before questioning him.
"What can I say to you? I've watched you grow up since you were a child, do you not know what you're thinking? Do you have feelings for that woman from earlier?"
The old steward, hearing Dongfang Shuo still asking him questions, shook his head and asked Dongfang Shuo in return.
"You know the master's temper better than anyone else. If he finds out you've fallen for that girl, what do you think he'll do? So for the girl's sake, you can't act like a child anymore. Only when you've fully taken over the company can you truly do what you want."
Seeing Dongfang Shuo lower his head and remain silent, the old steward realized that his guess was correct and earnestly spoke to Dongfang Shuo.
"I understand what you mean, thank you!"
After listening to the old steward's words, Dongfang Shuo realized that he had been a bit rash.
If I really harm Lu Xi because of this, I will regret it for the rest of my life.
"Well, there's an auction today, and the master wants you to come and broaden your horizons so you can learn more about it."
The old steward also saw Dongfang Shuo's growth and said to him with satisfaction.
"Alright, I'd like to see what you're capable of. I've always heard my father praise you; let's see if you're really that amazing."
Hearing that there was something exciting to watch, Dongfang Shuo, who always loved to join in the fun, had his eyes light up.
"Okay, driver, go to Dongfang Investment."
Hearing that Dongfang Shuo also wanted to go, the old butler instructed the driver who was driving.
"Ring ring ring!"
Lu Xi quickly found a villa by following the address on the note.
Judging from the luxurious decor, the people living here must be extraordinary. Would such people deign to help me?
Lu Xi also began to have some doubts.
Since she was already there, Lu Xi saw the doorbell next to her and pressed it.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
A few minutes later, a young man came out, looked Lu Xi up and down, and asked her after confirming that he had never seen her before.
"I'm here to find someone, but I don't know his name?"
When asked by the person in front of her, Lu Xi realized that Lu Fan hadn't said the other person's name at all. She scratched her head awkwardly and answered the young man.
"You, you won't tell me who you're looking for? Then there's nothing I can do, I can't let you in."
The man standing at the door looking at Lu Xi covered his head after hearing this, completely bewildered as to who she was.
"Um, I have her number, I'll call her now."
Not being allowed to enter, Lu Xi was at a loss for what to do. She noticed that the note not only had an address but also a phone number.
Then he remembered that he could make a phone call, and happily took out his phone to dial the number on the note.
"Hello, I'm Lu Fan's sister from the Jiang Group. We're currently setting up the company, and my brother asked me to call you so I can invite you."
After the call was connected, Lu Xi first introduced herself and then told him the purpose of her visit.
“I’m right here in front of your villa.”
When the other party asked where she was, Lu Xi felt that there was a chance. She turned around, looked into the villa, waved, and said to the person on the other end of the phone.
"Alright, someone will be coming out soon."
When Lu Xi heard the other party tell her to wait a moment, she initially thought the other party wouldn't see her, but now it seemed that this person wasn't so difficult to talk to.
He waved his phone at the young man across the door and smiled as he spoke.
"Hmph, since you're Lu Fan's sister, then don't even think about coming in today while I'm here!"
The young man, who had been quite amiable, changed his expression after hearing Lu Xi finish her call, and said to Lu Xi with some anger.
"What's wrong?"
