Edmond continued, "Lu Lu, can I invite you to my house tomorrow? My grandmother is from Hua Country, and she also wants to meet you."
"Sure!" This wasn’t the first time Edmond had invited her, so Lu Xingzhi couldn’t refuse again.
"Great, I’ll tell her once I get back. She’ll be very happy." Edmond smiled slightly.
Before they left, a woman walked over.
"Hi, Edmond, what a coincidence!"
Edmond frowned slightly but still spoke gently, "Indeed, a coincidence."
"It’s really heartbreaking, Edmond. Why don’t you ever say my name? I asked you out for dinner, and you said you were too busy. So, are you cheating on me by dating this yellow-skinned woman?" Camille looked disapprovingly at Lu Xingzhi, thinking this woman couldn’t possibly compare to her.
Lu Xingzhi pretended not to understand. The woman’s words were unpleasant, and she couldn’t be bothered to pay attention.
After all, her relationship with Edmond was just friendship.
This was a problem he brought upon himself.
She wondered whether she was naturally prone to such situations.
"Camille, this is my uncle’s student. Show some respect," Edmond really disliked this young lady from the Garcia family, who was sharp-tongued, arrogant, and unreasonable.
"What student? Just another yellow-skinned person. Edmond, your father wants you to be with me. Aside from me, you’re not allowed to like anyone else." Camille was extremely domineering, having long labeled Edmond as hers, not allowing other women to covet him.
"Camille, I will say this one last time. My father was just joking. And, Lu Lu is only my friend. Her teacher is Bertrand Bernard."
Edmond also felt quite unlucky. He came out to eat and ran into this young lady.
He was helpless too, mentioning Bertrand’s name hoping Camille could hold back a bit.
"I don’t care. Anyway, I’ve already told others I’m your fiancée. If that weren’t the case, why would your mother often invite me over to your home?" Camille wouldn’t care about Edmond’s feelings; she had liked him for so many years that he could only be hers.
Lu Xingzhi roughly understood. If Edmond’s family valued family background so much, then Luo Wanxu really wasn’t suitable for Edmond.
After all, a marriage without parental blessing, even one met with dislike, would not be happy.
Unless Edmond breaks free from his family and goes to Hua Country. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NoveIＦire.net
"Camille, who told you my whereabouts this time?" Edmond believed it couldn’t be such a coincidence. This city was vast, and the chance of a random encounter was quite small.
"Can’t I come on my own? Edmond, I don’t care, you have to have dinner with me. You abandoned me to accompany this yellow-skinned and such an ugly woman, don’t you feel disgusted looking at her?" Camille glanced disdainfully at Lu Xingzhi as if she were garbage.
Getting caught in the crossfire while lying down, it wasn’t her first time.
She was already used to it.
While Edmond and Camille were talking, she calmly finished her meal, and when those two were still speaking, she’d had her fill.
"Edmond, I’m heading back. Enjoy your meal." Lu Xingzhi stood up, smiled slightly, spoke first in English, then added in Chinese, "Edmond, well, you deal with her first!"
