Jiang Yanqi was the first to see Lu Zhengye and the other person.
She smiled and called out sweetly, "Brother Lu."
Lu Zhengye glared at her coldly, showing no intention of paying her any attention.
Jiang Yanqi lowered her head in disappointment and a little haste.
The scene was silent for a few seconds.
Lu Zechuan said, "You two are really busy people, making our whole family and guests wait for you."
“We’re not like you, just some idle person,” Lu Zhengye said coldly.
Lu Zechuan's face darkened, but he couldn't find the right words to retort.
After being removed from his position as president of the company, he stayed at home to appease netizens' anger.
Xie Yuqiong forced a smile and said, "Why do you have such a cold face when you see an old friend?"
"She's not my friend, she's your friend. After all, it was you who invited her to the Lu residence, not me."
This friend naturally refers to Jiang Yanqi.
When Lu Jing heard that Lu Zhengye and Lin Yusheng had arrived, he came downstairs and then heard his family making sarcastic remarks.
He sighed, "Alright, you're always at each other's throats, aren't you ashamed?"
Lu Jing deliberately rolled his eyes at Xie Yuqiong, hoping she would know better.
Xie Yuqiong looked unwilling.
But intimidated by Old Master Lu's authority, she didn't dare utter a single word.
"Grandpa Lu," Lin Yusheng greeted him first.
Jiang Yanqi immediately stood up and said, "Hello, Grandpa Lu."
Lu Jing responded with a smile to both sides. Jiang Yanqi had been a frequent visitor to the Lu family these past few days, always coming to see Xie Yuqiong.
He looked at Lu Zhengye and Lin Yusheng and asked, "Did Xiaoye and Asheng come together?"
"Yes, we just happened to run into each other on the way."
They pretended to be confused, so Lu Zhengye lied.
Use magic to defeat magic.
"Oh, okay, okay, let's sit down and have a cup of tea first. We can start eating when Jiwen comes back."
Lu Zhengye and Lin Yusheng sat on the double sofa in tacit agreement, looking as if they were meeting each other's parents.
The people present all had different expressions.
Jiang Yanqi even dug her nails into her palms.
"Grandpa Lu, is there something important you need to tell me?" Lin Yusheng asked.
"No, it's just that you're such a good girl to me. The incense you gave me last time helped me sleep soundly for months. I wanted to meet you and ask you where you bought that incense so I could send someone to buy a few more boxes."
Lin Yusheng smiled and told Lu Jing where the incense shop was located in Jiangnan.
Lu Zechuan hurriedly said, "Grandpa, I'll buy it for you tomorrow."
Lu Zhengye: "No need to go."
Everyone: "..."
Xie Yuqiong was slightly angry, "You yourself are unfilial, yet you won't let Zechuan fulfill his filial duties?"
"If you're not afraid of making a wasted trip, I won't stop you from going."
Lu Zhengye said to Lu Jing, "I acquired that incense shop and brought them all to Lucheng. I want to turn it into a brand."
Lu Jing was somewhat surprised. "You've thought this through? The market for incense is quite small."
"What you see is small, but what I see is its huge potential for development."
Lu Jing was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter, "You kid, you're ambitious and have guts, just like me, hahahaha."
Xie Yuqiong and Lu Zechuan were so angry they almost ground their teeth to powder.
Jiang Yanqi said, "Brother Lu is still as amazing as ever."
"Who is your brother Lu?" Lu Zhengye asked Jiang Yanqi with a cold expression.
The atmosphere had turned icy, but Lin Yusheng felt comfortable.
She stepped in to defuse the situation, "She's probably calling for Lu Zechuan, since she's a regular here, right, Sister Yan Qi?"
Jiang Yanqi was caught in a dilemma. If she admitted it, she would be going against her original intention; if she didn't admit it, she would lose face.
Finally, she lowered her head and softly hummed in agreement.
Lin Yusheng smiled.
Xie Yuqiong's expression was as if she had eaten shit.
"Grandpa, you said the person I'm supposed to meet is her?"
Lu Zhengye glanced at Jiang Yanqi with a cold expression.
Lu Jing said, "Yes, Jiang told us about your past. Grandpa really couldn't tell that she was also from the Island of the Dead."
“Grandpa, I owe my current status and position to Aye. He helped me find a new identity, which allowed me to get rid of the stigma of the Island of the Dead.”
Jiang Yanqi's eyes were full of gratitude and admiration when she looked at Lu Zhengye.
Lu Zhengye ignored him and sneered, "If I had known you would become so greedy and opportunistic, I would never have cared about you at all."
Jiang Yanqi's smile froze on her face, and her eyes instantly reddened.
She was truly heartbroken. Did Lu Zhengye really no longer have feelings for her?
Is it because she's willing to do anything to pursue her dreams?
Or is it because...
Jiang Yanqi shifted her gaze to Lin Yusheng, her eyes filled with deep resentment.
But Lin Yusheng looked directly at her, a faint smile playing on her lips.
Jiang Yanqi felt as if she were looking at an overconfident version of herself, a kind of confidence that only pampered people possess.
And this is exactly what Jiang Yanqi lacks most.
Lu Jing was a shrewd person, and he saw the problem between the two.
He naturally knows which side to favor, his own grandson or an outsider.
"Based on Miss Jiang's one-sided account, I thought you and Ono had a good relationship." Lu Jing's words were sarcastic.
Jiang Yanqi looked up shyly, tears silently wetting her clothes.
She stammered, "I... I have a misunderstanding with A-Ye."
Jiang Yanqi has been making Xie Yuqiong quite happy these past few days.
She said, "Dad, even if Xiaoqi and Zhengye don't get along, she is still a guest I invited. She is a musical genius that comes along once in a century, and she is very talented."
"My daughter-in-law admires her very much."
"As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, it's normal that you get along well," Lu Zhengye said casually.
Lin Yusheng almost burst out laughing, and quickly picked up her teacup to cover it up.
"You..." Xie Yuqiong was furious.
But when she recalled Lu Zhengye's ruthless demeanor in the ancestral hall, she still felt somewhat apprehensive.
She hired so many assassins, but none of them could kill this bastard.
Xie Yuqiong didn't argue with Lu Zhengye. She said to Lu Jing, "Dad, haven't you always liked the variety show 'Art Awards'? Xiao Qi was specially invited to participate."
"I used to like it, but now I'm finding it harder and harder to keep up with the younger generation."
"Grandpa Lu, my new song will premiere at the Art Awards this year. It's based on an old song. I hope you'll do me the honor of performing." Jiang Yanqi said nervously.
Lin Yusheng also admired Jiang Yanqi. Isn't it said that artists are arrogant?
Then what is Jiang Yanqi?
Didn't you see that Grandpa Lu didn't want to talk to her?
Lu Zhengye gave a perfunctory smile and said, "Okay."
"Grandpa Lu," Lin Yusheng called out obediently.
Lu Jing showed a noticeable increase in affection towards Lin Yusheng, "What's wrong, little Lin?"
“I also participated in this year’s Art Awards. I hope that when Grandpa visits Miss Jiang, he can also visit me.”
