681 I’ve Embarrassed Myself in front of Mrs. Ji
This watch had changed from a gift to a medal of love. It had become more meaningful and valuable.
“I was just doing what I should.” The gloominess in Ji Yan’s eyes dissipated. He raised his hand and ruffled Shen Hanxing’s hair. Without him realizing it, a gentle smile had already appeared on his face. “Then we’ll keep this watch well and put it on the display shelf in Madam’s room. I’ll be waiting for Madam’s other gifts.”
Shen Hanxing nodded with a gentle smile.
When Shen Hanxing and Ji Yan left, it was unclear what Lu Guo and Mrs. Lu had said to Su Ling’s parents, but the two families seemed to be very close to each other again, as if there wasn’t any conflict at all. On the other hand, Lu Shaoyang was holding Su Ling’s hand, his expression a little dark and his smile a little forced as well. Although, his face brightened up when he saw Shen Hanxing coming down the stairs. He reflexively wanted to say something to her, but Su Ling noticed his change. She looked at him as well, and her expression changed. She held on to Lu Shaoyang tightly and said something to him in a low voice.
Lu Shaoyang stopped in his tracks. He looked a bit upset, but he still stood there obediently and didn’t come over. Seeing that Lu Shaoyang hadn’t come over, Shen Hanxing let out a sigh of relief. She complained in a low voice, “I really hope that Lu Shaoyang will cut it out. Even if he were to come over and ask me to hit him, I will still think that he is too thick-skinned.” Moreover, Shen Hanxing did not have any violent tendencies. She had no interest in educating the Lu family’s child.
Lu Feng chuckled as he stood a few steps away with a glass of wine in his hand. He must have overheard Shen Hanxing’s complaint, and said laughingly, “This nephew of mine can be considered a young talent and is liked by many socialites. Mrs. Ji is sure different.”
“Would Mr. Lu Feng like to have flies around him?” Shen Hanxing raised her eyebrows and turned to Lu Feng. “It seems that Mr. Lu Feng has been in a good mood recently.” Compared to the first time she had met Lu Feng, the current Lu Feng’s face was glowing, his eyes were bright, and he seemed to be in very good spirits.
“The wish that I have been yearning for for twenty years is about to be fulfilled, so it is inevitable that I would be overjoyed and embarrass myself in front of Mrs. Ji.” Lu Feng didn’t try to hide it. He laughed twice with the corners of his mouth raised and took a sip of red wine, saying with a smile, “Look, my big brother Lu Guo is so well-off now. I think today is his most glorious day.” Outside, the media was hyping up the marriage between the Lu and Su Families. Lu Corporation’s projects were on the rise, and its share price was soaring. He heard that Lu Guo was buying the company’s shares, trying to get more shares before the share price reached its peak to cement his position and obtain the maximum benefits.
When he thought of this, Lu Feng could not hide the smile on his face. He rubbed his fingers together. Since Lu Guo wanted to own Lu Corporation alone, as his brother, how could he not help him? Recently, other than selling his shares to Lu Guo, Lu Feng had also persuaded many shareholders to support Lu Guo’s actions. Today was Lu Guo’s most glorious day, but what about tomorrow?
Lu Feng’s words seemed to be hinting that Lu Corporation would soon go downhill. Shen Hanxing said with a knowing smile, “Then I’ll have to congratulate Mr. Lu Feng in advance.”
Lu Feng pursed his lips and glanced at the calm surface of the sea. He then raised his glass to Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing. “It’s not time for that yet. After everything is over, I’ll treat Mr. and Mrs. Ji to a meal to express my gratitude.”
Ji Yan, who had an indifferent expression on his face, also said, “Then, Madam and I will be waiting for Mr. Lu Feng’s good news.”
Ji Yan’s simple words made Lu Feng feel a little flattered. Who in S City did not know Ji Yan’s temper? He was capable, confident, and didn’t need to take other people’s opinions into account. He had his own set of standards when doing things. Now that he had acknowledged Lu Feng’s words, it also represented his friendly attitude. It was rumored that this cold-hearted President Ji had undergone a complete change after his marriage, but it seemed like that was not a rumor. As if he had recalled something, Lu Feng’s face had a bit of emotions and reminiscence on it. He paused for a moment before he smiled and said, “Thank you for your kind words, President Ji.” His gaze lingered between Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing for a while before he suddenly laughed. “President Ji and Mrs. Ji are truly a match made in heaven. What a match, a perfect match!” As he laughed, he finished the red wine in his glass. Then, he waved his hand and turned to leave. No one saw that tears were welling up in Lu Feng’s eyes as he laughed.
