At this moment, Lu Xingzhi suddenly remembered that when Edmond was in Hua Country, he initially pretended not to understand the language.
Yet secretly eavesdropping.
Her eyes lit up, and she tugged on Edmond’s clothes, "Edmond, I don’t know French either!"
Edmond was a bit confused at first. Didn’t you know French? What do you mean by saying you don’t know French now?
However, he quickly understood.
"Hmm, you don’t know French," Edmond said with a smile.
Indeed, it’s better not to know for now.
Those people, who knows what kind of characters they are!
Uncle doesn’t have any children yet, so Lu Xingzhi going over there will inevitably become a thorn in some people’s eyes.
However, he didn’t think Lu Xingzhi was so easy to bully.
She seems soft, but as they say in Hua Country, a needle concealed in silk?
Edmond was very fond of his uncle’s student, good natured and good looking. He completely took care of her like a sister. He really disliked those cousins of his, they were all from a collateral line.
Yet they can’t recognize their own place.
Only have themselves to blame for their incompetence.
Besides, this inheritance clearly belongs to his uncle.
What does it have to do with them?
Edmond held them in contempt in his heart.
Lu Xingzhi didn’t want to go live over at Edmond’s place, the Bernard family, Huo Jincheng had already briefed her about it before she came.
It’s a massive family, like a royal family from ancient times.
The teacher happens to not have children, and if she went, she’d become a target. People might even think she’s the teacher’s illegitimate child!
From a young age, Lu Xingzhi was different from other little girls. She didn’t like going out to play, she didn’t attend kindergarten or primary school, she was taught at home by her grandparents and father.
The rest of the time, she practiced playing the piano.
Then, she even went abroad with her father a few times.
Because she learned English and French, she needed to communicate with people. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be fluent when speaking.
The more you speak, the more it resembles your native language.
Although she grew up in the countryside, she had been to the United Kingdom, the United States, and France, as well as Italy.
While abroad, she even participated in piano competitions. These things, besides her family in the country, no one knew.
Now, besides herself, no one would know.
She never said anything.
Lu Xingzhi was also smarter than others since she was young. She was curious about her family, and the older she grew, the more she felt that her family wasn’t that simple.
Grandparents and father alone, going out could get really good jobs, even like grandparents, being professors at a university wasn’t any problem.
Yet, they lived in that small village.
But, Lu Xingzhi never asked.
Even when they all passed away, Lu Xingzhi didn’t ask.
Asking would only bring more worries to herself.
After reaching an understanding with Edmond, his assistant took them to the hotel.
Anyway, she wasn’t going to the Bernard family to stir up trouble.
Just like she didn’t want to go to Beijing with Huo Jincheng back then.
They booked the presidential suite; Lu Xingzhi and Huo Jincheng stayed together, while Xiao Zulinqing had a separate room.
She didn’t want to be a third wheel, she had enough self-awareness for that.
Having a room to herself, she felt even more comfortable and free!
"Zhi Zhi, you’re not allowed to be that close to other men in the future."
