Meanwhile, the Lù family’s birthday banquet was also extremely lively.
Lù Chuan and Shi Qingyue were dragging Lù Yue’an around to greet everyone at the banquet; they were very busy.
Lu Qing kept raising his hand to look at his watch; he had left his phone in the car.
He wanted to tell Lù Yue’an that he would leave early, but he saw that the people around her were all talking to her.
When Lu Qing was about to leave, Lù Yue’an even looked in his direction, indicating for him to wait.
Lu Qing sighed and touched a small box in his jacket pocket.
It seemed like they would not be able to return for a while. They might already have finished over at Lu Ning’s side.
Lu Qing glimpsed the sofa in the corner behind him; he took two steps back and sat on it.
Everyone present was looking for someone to talk to. It seemed like everyone was enmeshed in a bewildering web of politics and networking, and you never could tell what kind of connection two people had with each other. They were all smiling and pretending to be familiar with each other, but in actuality they might not even know who the other person was.
Lu Qings gaze scanned across the crowd, and eventually landed on Lù Yue’an.
She was smiling and talking to someone, looking polite and proper.
In the future, she would find herself situated in the middle of such a materialistic and predatory group. If she was not careful, she might be consumed by other people until not even her bones were left.
His gaze fell on Lù Chuan and Shi Qingyue, who were by Lù Yue’an’s side. If the power of the Lb family was gone, how would she ever manage…
Lu Qing was thinking about many things when someone suddenly sat down beside him.
He turned around, and saw a boy who looked about the same age as Li Yue’an. He wore a stud in his left ear and sat casually with a wine glass in his hand.
“It’s boring, right?”
He suddenly spoke without looking at Lu Qing; he simply looked at the spectacle before him as he said this.
Lu Qing did not answer. Then, he suddenly turned to look at him.
“Bringing the wrong child home… Say, how’s it even possible for someone to mistake some other child for their own biological offspring?
He did not wait for Lu Qings answer and started talking about the next topic.
Hearing this, Lu Qing looked at him.
Lin Yi spontaneously leaned closer to look at Lu Qing. “Why do I feel that you look a little like that girl?”
Lu Qing looked at his face. “Which one?”
Lin Yi sat straight, swirled his glass, and downed the wine in one gulp. “That girl from before, the one who was mistakenly brought back here. Lu Ning.”
Lin Yi simply felt that those who could come to this banquet were definitely people who knew the Lù family, and were definitely from their circle; and everyone in there knew about this matter. He had casually found someone to rant to, but he could never have expected that this person he casually pulled over not only knew Lu Ning, but was in fact blood-related to Lu Ning.
Lin Yi looked at Lù Yue’an, who was talking to someone not far away.
Perhaps because it was the first time he had seen her, or perhaps because he had lost the tenacity to struggle to the very end a few years ago. How should he put it? Lin Yi felt absolutely nothing for Lù Yue’an at all. There was no hatred, no fondness, just unfamiliarity.
“Would you marry a stranger?
Lin Yi suddenly looked ahead and asked.
Lu Qing held his glass and did not answer.
However, Lin Yi seemed to want an answer this time. He turned to look at him. “Would you?
Lu Qing turned around. “I wouldn’t.”
Lin Yi pursed his lips. “That’s good. I’m different, I have no say on who I marry.”
Lu Qing understood what he meant.
Arranged marriages between wealthy families was not unusual.
“Why are you running around, I’ve been looking for you everywhere! Come here quickly!’
Zhao Junli quickly walked over and grabbed Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was forced up and looked at her impatiently. “What’s wrong?
“I’ll introduce An’an to you..”
