Opening the door to her ho, after inviting Huo Jincheng and his driver inside, Lu Xingzhi imdiately regretted it.
Indeed, beauty leads people astray! She didn't even know him, so why did she bring him into her house?
However, it wouldn't be appropriate to drive them out now.
"Please sit, I'll get you so water," Lu Xingzhi said, feeling a bit uneasy seeing Huo Jincheng in her house.
Neither Huo Jincheng nor his driver fit into her modest ho.
"Miss Lu, there's no need for the trouble. The gentleman has his own drinking water in the car." Wei Yang, as Huo Jincheng's assistant, was familiar with his habits.
"Oh! Alright then!" Lu Xingzhi expressed understanding, feeling sowhat dismissed.
She didn't mind it, though.
"Wei Yang, you can leave first," Huo Jincheng said in a deep voice.
After Wei Yang left, Huo Jincheng looked at Lu Xingzhi, his eyes gentle, his deanor graceful, "Then it's a bother to you."
"Hmm?" Lu Xingzhi was a bit confused.
Huo Jincheng elegantly sat on the old sofa, "I'm a bit thirsty."
Lu Xingzhi was stunned for a mont before she reacted, "I'll get you so water."
While Lu Xingzhi was making tea for Huo Jincheng, it suddenly started to pour outside; she glanced out. How co it always rains on her birthday every year?
The sun had co out at noon, which had made her happy for a while, but who knew it would rain again.
Today is her eighteenth birthday. Since her family has passed away, this is her third birthday alone.
She had just graduated from high school and, although she beca the national top scorer and got accepted into Imperial University with a 100,000 yuan scholarship.
She was still planning to take a year's break from school.
She needed to buy her piano back, which was her father's legacy for her.
Her father had once said she was a born pianist.
At twelve, she had once played a tune freely.
What a pity...
When Huo Jincheng took out his token, Lu Xingzhi completely believed him.
Because she had an identical one, and on the marriage contract, there was Grandpa's personal signature.
Huo Jincheng took a sip of tea, "Let briefly introduce myself again. I'm twenty-seven years old, have no dating history, no bad habits, and I own a company."
Lu Xingzhi: "..."
Why does it feel strangely like a matchmaking eting?
"My grandpa received the letter three days ago. The address your grandpa sent it to was the old house. At that ti, my grandpa was receiving dical treatnt abroad. If it wasn't because he returned to the old house for recuperation this ti, the letter wouldn't have been discovered in the mailbox. I'm sorry for coming late."
"You don't need to apologize. I only heard my grandpa ntion it once. Since you are here, we might as well cancel the marriage contract directly!" Soone like Huo Jincheng is bound to belong to a world different from hers.
"What's the reason?"
Lu Xingzhi carefully found an appropriate excuse while holding a water cup in her hands, "Uncle, you're a whole nine years older than ! Three years is a generation gap, the gap between us is like a river's distance."
Uncle?
When Huo Jincheng heard this term, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Although he didn't feel he was old, compared to Lu Xingzhi, he was indeed a bit older.
Calling him "Uncle" wasn't really wrong.
Only eighteen.
She was indeed a bit young.
