Huo Jincheng just smiled, then got up, took his phone, and walked out to make a call to Lu Xingzhi.
"Uncle? Do you need something?"
Huo Jincheng leaned lazily against the wall, "Zhi Zhi, I’m a little drunk, can you come pick me up?"
"Me? But I can’t drive! Don’t you have a driver? Is he drunk too? Should I send the family driver to pick you up?" Lu Xingzhi didn’t understand why Huo Jincheng was calling her. Wouldn’t calling the driver directly make more sense?
He really wanted to take her brain out and see how it was structured.
"You can have the driver bring you over." Huo Jincheng was too lazy to explain, so he simply said that and hung up.
Alright, he’s the boss; whatever he says goes.
Lu Xingzhi changed her clothes before going out, informed the driver, and had him take her to the destination.
Ah Si, who had been instructed by Huo Jincheng, was waiting for Lu Xingzhi outside.
Seeing him, Lu Xingzhi was even more puzzled. Clearly, she brought a driver; why was she being summoned?
"Ah Si, did you drink?" Lu Xingzhi curiously asked.
"No, I’m a driver. How could I drink?" Ah Si replied with a smile.
She decided to just be an obedient fiancée!
Ah Si escorted her to the door of the private room and then knocked before pushing it open.
As soon as Lu Xingzhi appeared in the doorway, everyone looked over at her.
Who is this beautiful girl?
When did such a beauty show up in the Capital City? I’ve never seen her before!
The private room suddenly fell silent.
"Lu Xingzhi, what are you doing here?" Helian Yi was the first to speak, seeing the group of men with shining eyes. He glanced at Huo Jincheng and quickly shut his mouth.
"Miss Lu, how did you get here? Are you here to see Third Brother? I thought he didn’t bring you along! After all, you just arrived in the Capital City, and you don’t know any of these people." Shen Xinzhu smiled gracefully on the surface, but in reality, she was implying that Lu Xingzhi was not important to Huo Jincheng.
It also revealed that she wasn’t from the Capital City.
Seeing the amazed eyes of these men on Lu Xingzhi, jealousy boiled inside her.
"Oh!" Lu Xingzhi responded with just that one word.
She really didn’t like talking to Lu Xingzhi, even when verbally humiliating her, she won’t respond at all.
It felt like punching cotton.
"Miss Lu, I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were coming. As you can see, there’s no place for you to sit. How about I have someone bring you a chair?"
Ever since Lu Xingzhi arrived, Huo Jincheng’s eyes had unconsciously softened. He got up and walked over to her.
Like declaring his sovereignty, he directly wrapped an arm around her waist.
With pride and detachment, he looked at Shen Xinzhu, "I invited her. Miss Shen, is there a problem?"
"No... no, I just..." Shen Xinzhu was really hurt by the way he addressed her. After all these years, he still only called her Miss Shen.
He had never even called her by her first name.
"Third Brother. Sister Xinzhi meant no harm." Helian Yi could sense Shen Xinzhu’s hostility towards Lu Xingzhi and understood the implication of her words.
In these recent days, he had actually had someone investigate Lu Xingzhi a bit.
