The man’s voice was soft, his eyes carrying a faint smile as they fell on Nanxi: “I didn’t hold a knife to your uncle’s throat and make him sign the transfer contract…
so, Nanxi, it seems like I didn’t do anything wrong!”
She breathed in, indeed, because he had offered a price that was triple the market rate, which tempted her uncle, and her grandmother wanted to return to the south to live out her old age, so they hastily signed the contract!
None of this was Lu Yinchu’s fault!
I didn’t mean to say that you did anything wrong.
It was our own issues.
Regardless, we still hope that Mr.
Lu can return the shop to us.
I’m here to apologize on behalf of my uncle!”
“Hehe!” The man laughed lightly.
He knocked the ash off his cigarette, turned his head and gave her a glance—
“Nanxi, there’s something you need to understand, not all decisions made in this world can be easily changed.
People have to be responsible for their actions…”
“Furthermore…” he paused, then continued, “….your uncle is an adult, he’s been through more than fifty years of life, his decision-making is certainly not impulsive.
As for how you managed to persuade your uncle to change his mind afterwards, I don’t want to know.
However, I always feel there’s a part in this change of mind that was ‘compelled’…”
Nanxi was silent, unable to say a word because what Lu Yinchu said was completely correct!
Nanxi began to speak.
She’d barely uttered the three syllables when she froze because the man had just looked up at her, and his gaze was very focused…
His handsome face was shrouded within a gentle veil of light, his full features prominent, his luminous eyes filled with a touch of emotion…
Of course, maybe this was all just her misconception…
“It’s about time; let’s eat first!” The man glanced at the diamond watch on his wrist and let his gaze drift away.
He pressed a button nonchalantly which extinguished his cigarette.
Nanxi frowned, her fair face blushing slightly, “Mr.
Lu, I didn’t come here today to dine with you!”
“No matter, consider it incidental!”
“Of course, you owe me a meal, and I remember…..” he said with a smile which was quite exquisite.
“…If you promise to return the shop to my uncle, then I’ll accompany you for this meal!”
“A threat?” The man narrowed his eyes, looking serious, “Do you think it’s difficult for me to find someone to dine with?”
Nanxi felt a block in her heart.
Yes, what right did she have to threaten Lu Yinchu with such a ridiculous reason?
She must have had her head squashed in the door!
Just as Nanxi was about to be disheartened from holding her breath, the man suddenly spoke again.
“However, if you can make my mood better, I might consider agreeing…
Do you want to accept the challenge?”
A challenge to make his mood better?
The one who had their head squashed in the door seemed to be someone else!
At this moment, the door to the box was opened.
A server in neatly formal attire walked in with a soft smile.
He was followed by three others, each one of them carrying two dishes.
Nanxi swallowed her saliva.
Honestly, she was quite hungry!
The dishes were placed on the table and Nanxi took a look:
Crispy Osmanthus Chicken, Colorful Shrimps, Sauce Baked Potatoes, Mushroom with Greens, Lotus Root and Pork Ribs Soup…
What a coincidence, these dishes seemed to be her favorites…
