622 Monetary Gift
At this point, Lu Shaoyang was still reluctant. It was as if he had compromised for the sake of his family. However, when he talked about Su Ling, his tone was gentle. Lu Shaoyang acted as if he was forced, but he wouldn’t reject firmly. He behaved gently to Su Ling and gave her false hope.
Shen Hanxing laughed sarcastically. She could not be bothered to continue watching this hypocritical show. She said, “If you guys want to reminisce, feel free to do so. Mr. Ji and I are here to attend a wedding. We shall go now.”
Lu Shaoyang’s face turned pale as he looked at Shen Hanxing in disbelief. He made his parents and Su Ling’s parents angry so that he could spend longer time with her before the wedding, but what about her? She left without any hesitation, not caring about his sacrifice. Lu Shaoyang’s heart ached terribly.
“Of course, no problem.” Lu Nuannuan was furious when she saw Lu Shaoyang’s expression. She had admired Lu Shaoyang since she was a child. He was handsome, young, and talented. He was like a gentle and bright prince. He would give her gifts, take her out to play, and tell her stories. He was not as annoying as other brothers. Her brother deserved the best woman in the world. Shen Hanxing was a woman with only good looks. It would be an insult to her brother. But now… This woman that she looked down on made her brother sad. Lu Nuannuan’s eyes were filled with disgust. She laughed and pretended to be innocent. “Did Mr. And Mrs. Ji bring any money? Did you bring a gift?”
“Nuannuan!” Mrs. Lu shouted, but she didn’t show much criticism on her face. She rebuked, “That’s impolite. You shouldn’t ask for it from the guest. The guest should take initiative instead. Don’t say such things again.”
“I’m still young, I don’t know about these.” Lu Nuannuan stuck out her tongue and smiled as if she was not scheming. “I thought this was the custom because everyone has given it. So, the guest should offer the gift, right? I was wrong then. This way, Mr. and Mrs. Ji.” Her tone was sarcastic. She was clearly criticizing Shen Hanxing and Ji Yan for being impolite.
Lu Guo’s lips twitched, but he said nothing in the end. The Ji Corporation was indeed a giant that they should not offend. However, this was a society ruled by law. They shouldn’t be nice when they were already angry, right? In particular, Lu Nuannuan was young as the youngest daughter of the family. It was just a slip of the tongue. Ji Yan was the president of the Ji Corporation. How could he argue with Lu Nuannuan?He would appear petty if he did so.
Besides, the Lu family and Ji Corporation were not in the same industry. Lu family had an upcoming big project that could make them rich instantly. They were not afraid of being suppressed. Moreover, Lu Guo had been in the circle for so many years. He had long known Ji Yan’s character. Although he was cold, he was quite open-minded. He was not the kind of person who would take revenge for the smallest grievance. Therefore, Lu Guo laughed awkwardly and gave up his seat as he said, “Nuannuan was young and insensible. President Ji, Mrs. Ji, please don’t take it to heart.”
“Indeed, we won’t.” Shen Hanxing chuckled. “Any normal person above five years old wouldn’t say something like that. Miss Lu, you’re really surprising.”
Lu Nuannuan’s expression changed. She could barely maintain the smug look on her face as she screamed in anger, “Are you implying that I’m worse than a five-year-old child?” What’s more, she felt that Shen Hanxing was mocking her! This woman was truly vicious!
“Whoever did it will feel it.” Shen Hanxing looked at Lu Nuannuan with a cold smile, sizing her up from head to toe. She said in an almost contemptuous tone, “What, is that the Lu family’s rule that you’re the only one who can say it?”
Lu Nuannuan choked. She was so angry that she wanted to pounce on Shen Hanxing and tear her pretty face apart.
“Monetary gift?” Ji Yan said in a deep and magnetic voice, with an inexplicable coldness on his face. “It’s a custom to prepare a wedding gift. We’ve prepared it too.” He reached into his pocket.
