Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Brother Xingzhi, Brother Mingzhou let me go first...
Although Ye Xinyi didn't know about the marriage agreement between Ye Anyu and Lu Mingzhou, she had noticed in the past three years that their relationship was not good. No, it was Lu Mingzhou who didn't like the illegitimate daughter at all.
Ye Xinyi thought to herself: Now that I have stepped forward to teach this illegitimate daughter a lesson, Brother Mingzhou will definitely be grateful to me. After they divorce, I can marry Brother Mingzhou directly.
Thinking of this, the smile on Ye Xinyi's face became even brighter, but she didn't notice that Lu Mingzhou, who was standing beside her, had a darker expression.
Because everyone was present and the occasion was inappropriate, Ye Anyu did not intend to argue with her. Just as she was about to leave, she felt her drooping right hand get warm, and someone held her hand. Ye Anyu looked up at Lu Mingzhou beside her in surprise.
"Miss Ye is right. No matter how you look at it, you have a petty air."
Hearing this, Ye Xinyi froze in place. After she came to her senses, she looked at Lu Mingzhou with a smile and said, "Brother Mingzhou, you're talking about the wrong person, right? You're talking about the woman next to you, right?"
Lu Mingzhou ignored her. Just then the elevator arrived and he pulled Ye Anyu into the elevator without even looking at the whole family.
"Xinyi, when did you become so ignorant?" Ye Heshuo glared at his domineering little daughter.
"How can you blame our Xinyi for this? It's obvious that your good daughter is impolite. She didn't even say hello to us when she saw us, and now she's leaving us behind." said Wang Wenmin, Ye Xinyi's mother.
When Ye Xinyi heard her mother defending her, she immediately felt emboldened and cried, "Dad, look at my sister. We were waiting for the elevator here, but she went up first."
It was clearly Lu Mingzhou who pulled Ye Anyu up there just now, but Ye Xinyi instead put all the blame on Ye Anyu.
"Talk less, all of you. Don't forget the purpose of our coming here today. Also, Xinyi, what did I tell you yesterday?" A hint of displeasure appeared on Ye Heshuo's face.
Ye Xinyi naturally did not forget that Lu Xingzhi, the eldest son of the Lu Group, had returned. If nothing unexpected happened, he would appear at the birthday party today. Thinking of this, Ye Xinyi curled her lips.
She clearly has someone she likes in her heart, so why should she get close to Lu Xingzhi?
The elevator in the banquet hall was square, spacious and luxurious. At this moment, only Ye Anyu and Lu Mingzhou were sitting in it. The glass surface inside the elevator was polished to a shine, and the soft light shone on their faces.
"Thank you for what you did just now." Ye Anyu said softly.
Lu Mingzhou hummed softly.
Ye Anyu's eyes were fixed on the glass of the elevator door. Lu Mingzhou was still holding her right hand tightly as it hung beside her leg.
It seemed that Lu Mingzhou did not intend to let her go, but the elevator was about to arrive. If others saw them, they would definitely suspect their relationship. She had promised not to reveal her relationship with him, and Ye Anyu did not want to cause a series of troubles because of this.
She moved her hands but didn't struggle. She said, "We'll be there soon."
Hearing this, the strength in his hand finally eased a little, and Ye Anyu's hand broke away from Lu Mingzhou's big hand. The next second, Ye Anyu took half a step back, putting some distance between him and Lu Mingzhou.
Lu Mingzhou's face in the glass suddenly frosted over, and the elevator fell into silence.
With a "ding" sound, the elevator arrived and the elevator door slowly opened.
"Mr. Lu, what a coincidence." Shi Taichu stood at the elevator door, apparently planning to go down.
Lu Mingzhou looked up at him with an expressionless face.
Seeing that Lu Mingzhou had no intention of paying attention to him, Shi Taichu wondered how he had offended this Mr. Lu, who looked like he wanted to kill someone.
Until he saw someone behind Lu Mingzhou, "An Yu, you..."
Before Shi Taichu could continue speaking, Ye Anyu jumped past Lu Mingzhou and rushed out of the elevator.
Soon Ye Anyu's figure disappeared around the corner. Shi Taichu then turned his gaze to Lu Mingzhou, only to see that Lu Mingzhou was still staring at the place where Ye Anyu disappeared.
At this moment, the elevator door automatically closed because it had been stopped for too long. Shi Taichu blocked it with his body, and then it did not close. "Mr. Lu, aren't you going to get off the elevator?"
Lu Mingzhou withdrew his gaze, said thank you and then walked down from the elevator.
Until the elevator closed, Shi Taichu's eyes were on Lu Mingzhou. At the last class reunion, Lu Mingzhou happened to sit next to An Yu, and today at Lu Junyi's birthday party, they appeared at the same time. It was hard not to doubt their relationship.
Lu Junyi said that only some acquaintances were invited to his birthday party, but Ye Anyu was shocked when he entered the banquet hall. The magnificent and splendid hall was crowded with people, all of whom were in high spirits and toasting each other.
Ye Anyu looked around but did not see Lu Junyi.
She took a glass of wine from the waiter and found a corner to sit down. This was the reason why she didn't want to attend this kind of party. Everyone was pretending, trying to please, and acting pretentiously, and she had to deal with a bunch of strangers.
Just as I thought of this, someone I knew came over.
"An Yu, why are you sitting here alone? Where is Ming Zhou?" Lu Xingzhi walked over with a glass of wine in his hand. It seemed that he had just finished a social event with someone.
"Brother Xingzhi, Brother Mingzhou asked me to come over first." Ye Anyu lied because she didn't know where Lu Mingzhou was now.
Lu Mingzhou, who was walking towards him, stopped.
"Your dress today is very beautiful. Did Mingzhou buy it for you?" Lu Xingzhi pointed at Ye Anyu's clothes.
Ye Anyu nodded, a little surprised, wondering how Lu Xingzhi knew that.
"It seems that you have a good relationship. Mingzhou has never given me any gifts so thoughtfully since I was a child." After saying that, Lu Xingzhi raised the transparent glass and took a sip of wine.
The corners of Ye Anyu's mouth twitched. If the news of their divorce came out a month later, Lu Xingzhi probably wouldn't think so.
Shi Taichu went downstairs to pick up a friend. The two of them were talking and laughing all the way. When they turned a corner, they saw a familiar figure leaning against the wall. Shi Taichu followed his gaze and raised his eyebrows. Not far away, Ye Anyu was talking and laughing with a strange man.
Lu Mingzhou put his left hand in his pocket, holding a glass of wine in his right hand, frowning, with a stern look on his face. He seemed a little angry, but also seemed helpless. Somehow Taichu saw possession in Lu Mingzhou.
"Mr. Lu, nice to meet you again." Shi Taichu stepped forward and greeted him.
Lu Mingzhou's thoughts were suddenly interrupted. He turned his head to look at Shi Taichu. The friend next to Shi Taichu had met Lu Mingzhou several times before. He immediately stepped forward to greet him with a smile and extended his right hand. "Mr. Lu, hello, do you remember me?"
Lu Mingzhou had a very good memory and could remember people even if he had only met them once. He switched the wine glass from his right hand to his left and shook hands with the man. "Mr. Chen."
This man was just a small boss at a startup. When Lu Mingzhou called him "Mr. Chen," his face lit up immediately, and he put his other hand over him. "Mr. Lu, I didn't expect to speak to you. It's really an honor."
Shi Taichu, who was standing aside, was full of indignation. Why did Lu Mingzhou ignore him and turn a blind eye when he tried to shake hands with him before, but he extended his hand to his friend who was just a small boss?
He could tolerate everything else, but Shi Taichu couldn't tolerate this. This was a matter of self-respect. He asked, "Boss Lu, do you have any prejudice against me?"
"No."
Shi Taichu became even angrier, but he couldn't ask directly: Why don't you shake hands with me? That would be even more embarrassing.
"I just don't like you." After a pause, Lu Mingzhou said lightly.
Shi Taichu was extremely angry at this moment, but Mr. Chen next to him was still immersed in the joy of shaking hands and talking with Lu Mingzhou. Shi Taichu glared at his friend fiercely.
The friend didn't understand the atmosphere at the time, so he asked, "Achu, are your eyes uncomfortable?"
Very good, he now feels uncomfortable all over his body, the kind of discomfort that makes him feel like he is about to explode.
Shi Taichu rolled his eyes and said, "An Yu seems to have a good relationship with that person. They seem to be having a very happy chat."
"Who is An Yu?" Mr. Chen asked tactlessly.
Before Lu Mingzhou could answer, Lu Xingzhi noticed the people here. He smiled and waved at Lu Mingzhou, saying, "Mingzhou."
??? So they knew each other. If they did, why didn’t Lu Mingzhou go over just now, causing him to punch something that was not what he wanted.
Just now, when Lu Xingzhi was chatting with Ye Anyu, he suddenly pointed to the side and said, "Isn't that Mingzhou?"
Ye Anyu looked in the direction of the finger, and the person was indeed Lu Mingzhou. There was not only Lu Mingzhou, but also her cheap boss and a stranger.
Ye Anyu secretly thought that Lu Mingzhou couldn't be allowed to come over, but before he could think of a way to leave, Lu Mingzhou had already spoken.
She watched Lu Mingzhou walk towards her step by step. She didn't know if it was because of the light or because he had been drinking, but Lu Mingzhou looked very bad.
Lu Mingzhou was tall and strong. He came to her in just a few steps with his long legs. It would have been fine if only Lu Mingzhou came alone, but her cheap boss also came with him.
"Ouch." Ye Anyu suddenly bent over and covered his stomach.
Before Lu Xingzhi could speak, Lu Mingzhou had already strode in front of Ye Anyu and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
Ye Anyu became even more panicked when she saw Lu Mingzhou coming towards her. She took two steps back and said, "I'm fine, my stomach just hurts a little. It might be my period. I'm going to the bathroom." After saying this, Ye Anyu turned around and ran away.
Shi Taichu looked at Ye Anyu's hurried back and asked, "What happened to Anyu?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Lu Mingzhou said without turning his head.
Lu Xingzhi was a little surprised. He didn't expect Lu Mingzhou to have such a childish side. He asked, "Are you Mingzhou's friend?"
"no."
"I guess so."
Two completely different answers.
Lu Xingzhi couldn't help laughing, and looked at Shi Taichu and said, "My brother is just like that. He's usually very cold to me."
"Brother?" Shi Taichu knew that Lu Mingzhou was the illegitimate son of the Lu family, and he also knew that he had an older brother, but he had never seen this brother in any occasion.
"Yes, I am Mingzhou's brother, my name is Lu Xingzhi." Lu Xingzhi smiled and stretched out his hand.
Shi Taichu looked at the man who claimed to be Lu Mingzhou's brother curiously. He had hair that reached his ears, wore a pair of thin black-framed glasses, and was dressed in a dark gray suit. He looked somewhat similar to Lu Mingzhou next to him, but his temperament was completely different. If Lu Mingzhou was described as winter, then the brother in front of him must be spring, gentle and refined, with a warm spring breeze.
Shi Taichu shook hands with him and said, "My name is Shi Taichu, and I'm Anyu's boss."
A hint of surprise flashed across Lu Xingzhi's face, and he finally understood where his brother's inexplicable hostility came from. He said, "So An Yu works for you."
Before the two of them finished their greetings, Lu Mingzhou left.
"You seem to be very familiar with An Yu." Shi Taichu asked as he looked in the direction the two left.
"We used to be familiar with each other, but we haven't been in touch since I went abroad." Lu Xingzhi showed a helpless expression on his face.
"An Yu seems to be very familiar with Mr. Lu." Shi Taichu continued to stare at that side, but he did not see a hint of surprise on Lu Xingzhi's face after hearing this.
It seemed that Shi Taichu was unaware of their relationship. Lu Xingzhi hadn't spoken to him. After all, they had chosen not to disclose it publicly. There must be a reason for it, and there was no need for him to disrupt their plans. "We played together when we were little."
"So that's how it is." Shi Taichu didn't ask any further. This was someone else's privacy, and it would be inappropriate to ask any further.
Ye Anyu actually lied to them because she was afraid that her relationship with Lu Mingzhou would be exposed. Her period had only just passed a week, so how could it come so soon?
But she did feel like going to the bathroom, and not long after she entered the bathroom, she received a message.
Where are the people?
