And Edmond finally managed to invite Xuxu out.
She didn’t know what method he used, but by the time Lu Xingzhi found out, Edmond was already saying he wanted to introduce Xuxu to her.
Lu Xingzhi is typically not a curious person, yet she found herself a bit curious about this legendary Xuxu.
She went to meet with Edmond together with Huo Jincheng.
"Uncle, I think Edmond must really like that girl named Xuxu," Lu Xingzhi thought. Otherwise, he wouldn’t specifically introduce her to them.
"Whether he likes her or not isn’t the point. Before they met, he was talking about her all the time, wasn’t he? Now, at least he’s satisfied," Huo Jincheng was eager for Edmond to get together with Xuxu.
Only if Edmond had someone he liked would he be reassured about Lu Xingzhi being with him.
But obsession and liking are sometimes different things.
"I’m thinking, this Xuxu must be a proud girl. You can tell from her insistence on repaying Edmond every month," Forgive her for initially mistaking her for an online scammer.
"Don’t worry about them; you’ll see soon enough." Huo Jincheng held Lu Xingzhi’s hand and patted it.
As they walked into the restaurant, Edmond immediately spotted them.
"Lu Lu, Olston, over here." Edmond stood up and waved to them eagerly.
Walking over, Lu Xingzhi finally got a clear look at the girl sitting next to him.
"Lu Lu, Olston, let me introduce you, this is Luo Wanxu." Edmond said, then turned to Luo Wanxu and added, "Xuxu, this is Olston, his Chinese name is Huo Jincheng. This is my uncle’s student, her name is Lu Xingzhi."
"Hello," Luo Wanxu smiled graciously, "I know you both. Little Zhi Liao and the founder of Emperor."
Without waiting for Lu Xingzhi and the others to speak, Luo Wanxu continued on her own, "I work as an editor at a magazine, so I might know a bit more about these things than others."
"Edmond has mentioned you many times. He invited you to the teacher’s piano concert multiple times too. Unfortunately, you didn’t attend." Lu Xingzhi felt quite fond of this gentle girl before her.
She also likes to admire good-looking people.
However, this Luo Wanxu, somehow, seemed familiar.
Like she’d seen her somewhere before.
"I had something at the time..." Luo Wanxu lowered her gaze, said half a sentence, then stopped.
She didn’t dare to meet Edmond.
Moreover, she owed him so much money; until it’s repaid, meeting would be unequal. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel-fire.ɴet
Perhaps for Edmond, it was nothing, but for her, it was very important.
Yet, in the end, she still came to see him.
Edmond said that after returning to France this time, he might not come back. He hoped to meet at least once, hoped she would give him a chance.
Luo Wanxu had never met Edmond, but after her grandmother passed away, he was the only one who gave her warmth over all these years.
Back then, her grandmother needed expensive medical fees, and she really had nowhere to turn.
She never expected a drifting bottle she threw would be picked up by Edmond, and he seriously replied to her message.
Even more unexpected was his innocence in actually sending her money.
Helping her in a crisis.
