"As long as Zhi Zhi from our family is happy, bullying soone is nothing. Besides, she never actively provokes anyone." Huo Jincheng looked at Helian Yi mockingly and lowered his head to play with Lu Xingzhi’s fingers.
With one light sentence, it made Helian Yi shiver for a mont.
He wanted to explain sothing but didn’t know where to start.
He also seed to joke, saying: "Zhi Zhi from our family just arrived in the Capital City not long ago. Don’t bully her just because she’s young, otherwise I won’t mind sorting things out a bit."
When it ca to Lu Xingzhi, Huo Jincheng didn’t mind repeating these words.
"Third Master is joking. Your wife is refined and elegant, full of talent. How could anyone bully her?" Soone quickly stepped in to diate.
Lu Xingzhi: "..."
She reluctantly accepted being full of talent.
But refined? Elegant? Are they sure they’re talking about her?
What to do?
Her stomach felt a bit uneasy again.
She wanted to throw up.
"That’s best." Huo Jincheng smiled slightly and said to Lu Xingzhi, "Tired? Let’s go ho."
"Can we?" Lu Xingzhi asked softly.
"Naturally." He only intended to bring her out to show her face, worried about encountering so people who wouldn’t know their place.
After saying goodbye to Zhou Yunxiang, Huo Jincheng took Lu Xingzhi and left.
Just as they stepped out, Qin Shihuai and Mo Jinyan followed suit.
"Jincheng, how about it, it’s not early anymore, why not co to my place for a al? Little Zhi Liao, do you want to co? We’re having roast whole lamb today, just give them the order and we’ll be just in ti to head over."
Roast whole lamb?
Lu Xingzhi’s eyes lit up. She rembered that Helian Xi had ntioned before that it was very delicious.
"Do you want to go?" Huo Jincheng understood with just a glance.
"I want to eat roast whole lamb." Lu Xingzhi didn’t pretend, "But it’s inconvenient with wearing a gown."
"I brought clothes for you. You can change later and it’ll be fine." Huo Jincheng had anticipated all possibilities, not only bringing casual clothes but also another set of gowns for Lu Xingzhi.
"Great, can I invite Xixi to go with us?"
Huo Jincheng frowned lightly, "She’ll need to wait until the banquet is over, another day then!"
"Oh!" Lu Xingzhi nodded.
From afar, Helian Yi watched them leave, then looked at Shen Xinzhu beside him, who looked quite unwell, and said helplessly: "Sister Xinzhi, let’s get in the car. I’ll take you ho."
"Little Yi, do you also think I’m no match for Lu Xingzhi? Even with my pride in piano, I’m now defeated by her. Do you all think my piano isn’t as good as Lu Xingzhi’s?" Shen Xinzhu felt truly embarrassed.
She couldn’t even imagine if she’d beco the laughing stock of the circle from today onwards.
"Sister Xinzhi, you’re overthinking. You’re the best pianist, you’re the most outstanding." Helian Yi could only comfort her like this.
He certainly couldn’t tell the truth that Lu Xingzhi’s piano playing indeed had soul.
Thinking of this, he inexplicably felt annoyed.
Those words of humiliation, one by one, seed to be slapping him in the face now.
"Little Yi, is Lu Xingzhi’s father really Master Jin Cheng? Is it a lie? Could she be deceiving?" Shen Xinzhu couldn’t believe that the master she had adored was actually Lu Xingzhi’s father.
"That’s unlikely!" Helian Yi wasn’t particularly familiar with Lu Xingzhi but felt she wasn’t soone who would lie.
"Little Yi, could you help investigate?"
