Chapter 291: Dinner in the Investment Circle
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The old lady of the Lu family had never told anyone about her story with Lu Yan. However, after seeing Lu Yuzhou, she told Jin Nian and Lu An about her past.
The thing she regretted the most in her life was not being able to marry Lu Yan as promised, causing him to leave Hong Kong at that time. If she had avoided that departure, none of this would have happened.
In the decades after Lu Yan’s death, she managed the family business and turned the Lu family into a famous business in Hong Kong. However, her heart had always been empty. She always thought that it would be good if she died one day. Perhaps she would meet Lu Yan in heaven.
After Jin Nian found out about Grandma Lu’s past, she had tears in her eyes.
She even sobbed and asked Lu An, “Why is God so unfair? Can’t people who love each other be together?”
“Aren’t we already together? And we will never be separated.” Lu An held Jin Nian in his arms and comforted her for a while.
At night, Lu An’s friend in Hong Kong invited him out. After all, he was one of Lu An’s few friends in Hong Kong, so he agreed to meet him.
Lu An hung up the phone and turned around. “Niannian, I’m going out to meet a friend. Do you want to come along?”
“I don’t know your friends.” Jin Nian shook her head. “1 won’t go.”
Jin Nian had to attend the family gathering, but there was no need for her to attend such a normal gathering of friends.
Lu An’s friend’s family also runs a business. He was now running a company and was a relatively famous figure in the circle.
This dinner was supposed to be a gathering of friends, but in fact, they were exchanging information and better developing their careers.
As soon as Lu An pushed open the door, he saw a room full of men and women. It was boring for a few men to discuss business, so they naturally had to find a few women to accompany them. However, Lu An didn’t like this kind of atmosphere, especially when women approached him.
“Lu An, come quickly! It’s been a long time!”
Everyone was very enthusiastic. They waved at Lu An and asked him to sit on the main seat.
“Lu An, 1 heard that you’ve been taking care of the child at home since you got married. It’s harder than ascending to the heavens to invite you out for a gathering now.” His good friend Liu Yi teased.
Among the people present, Liu Yi was the closest to Lu An, so only Liu Yi dared to tease him. The others did not dare to provoke this little tyrant.
Lu An smiled. “My wife and child are the most important things now. I have to bring my wife with me wherever I go.”
“Then why didn’t you bring her along? We want to see her!” Liu Yi asked with a smile.
Previously, when Lu An was getting married, he had been to the wedding venue. He had only seen Lu An’s wife from afar. She was indeed a beautiful woman. At that time, Lu An had looked at his wife affectionately throughout the entire process, and he had even shed tears halfway through.
Liu Yi did not expect the little tyrant Lu An to be trapped in marriage one day. He was even willing to give up his career and go home to take care of his children.
“Can I bring my wife here for an occasion like this?” Lu An glanced around and sneered.
The few of them were basically carrying a woman in their arms, but Lu An was the only one who didn’t have a woman beside him.
Everyone laughed awkwardly. “It’s so boring to chat with a few men. Of course,
I want a beautiful woman to accompany me.”
Liu Yi pointed at the woman beside him and introduced her. “This is Hu Xiu.
She’s an actress. She acted in a period drama that went viral a while ago.”
Lu An usually didn’t watch television dramas, so of course, she wouldn’t know such a third-rate female celebrity. However, when that woman saw Lu An, her eyes couldn’t help but stick to Lu An.
Hu Xiu’s voice was sweet. She blinked her big eyes and said that she had acted in a few dramas. Lu An couldn’t remember the names, but if Jin Nian came, she should be interested.
Seeing that Lu An did not pay much attention to her, Hu Xiu continued, “I’ve earned some money now, so I’m learning how to invest from Brother Yi. I heard from Brother Yi that Mr. Lu is especially good at this, so 1 wanted to ask him for advice. I didn’t expect Mr. Lu to be so young.”
“If Mr. Lu is bored, 1 can call my sisters over. We can chat together. They are also very interested in investing.”
If Lu An still didn’t know what the other party meant, then he would really be a fool.
Lu An casually replied, giving Liu Yi some face. Hu Xiu took the opportunity to ask a few more questions, and Lu An seemed a little impatient.
After chatting for a while, Lu An found out that these women were actually celebrities in the entertainment industry. They played with people from the investment circle just to make money.
A few female celebrities looked at the men with admiration. Their vanity had been satisfied, but Lu An was the only one who was calm. Lu An suddenly regretted coming to this dinner. He should have gone home and hugged Jin Nian to sleep.
Lu An waited patiently for more than an hour. Finally, he couldn’t take it anymore. He stood up and said, “Everyone, I’m sorry. My wife is still waiting for me at home. I have to go back early..”
