In the end, Lu Jinxuan still went to the Original House.
Although he was extrely reluctant, this identity... It still cos with many responsibilities that cannot be shirked.
...
Lu Jinxuan had t Gong Xueyan’s mother before, but she hadn’t left a deep impression on him.
He only knew that she was Mr. Gong’s second wife, and Gong Xueyan was not her biological child. However, Mada Gong clearly has a talent for winning hearts... A non-biological daughter in a prominent family like the Gong Family, yet she gets along with Mada Gong as if they were blood-related.
"Young Master, you’re back."
Butler Zhong Shu was waiting for him at the entrance hall, genuinely pleased to see him.
Lu Jinxuan rarely curled his lips at him. At tis, he felt even Zhong Shu was more affectionate than his mother.
"Jinxuan, co here."
In the living room, Mrs. Lu waved at Lu Jinxuan while chatting with Mada Gong.
Mada Gong glanced over at Lu Jinxuan. Her youthful face was beautifully symtrical, even more refined and much younger than Mrs. Lu.
Lu Jinxuan squinted his eyes. He hadn’t paid attention before to look closely at Mada Gong; now observing her... why did she seem familiar?
"Mada Gong." Lu Jinxuan displayed a gentleman’s smile, since after all, Mada Gong was the Gong Family’s hostess, and he needed to give this face.
"Young Master Lu." Mada Gong smiled gently and nodded, her deanor exuding elegance.
She looked at Lu Jinxuan with so envy, and couldn’t help but sigh to Mrs. Lu, "Mrs. Lu is truly fortunate. Young Master Lu is indeed handso and poised."
"Oh, not at all." Mrs. Lu smiled and shook her head, "Mada Gong overpraises him."
Both knew well that Mada Gong had a knot in her heart... which was that she had been married into the Gong Family for many years and never had her own child. Although she had won over Gong Xueyan, without her own child, she always felt unsettled.
Mrs. Lu understood and quickly changed the subject.
"Mada Gong, did you co this ti for the latest piece?"
When the topic was brought up, Mada Gong seed more spirited.
Gong Xueyan had changed her clothes and ca down from upstairs, just in ti to join in, "Mrs. Lu, my mom is here to promote this design... There’s a feature promotion, and my dad is very supportive, but mostly it’s because my mom is talented."
"Xueyan." Mada Gong looked at her daughter and smiled, "Don’t exaggerate."
Gong Xueyan raised her eyebrows, looking at Lu Jinxuan, "Jinxuan, have you seen my mom’s work?"
"Hm?" Lu Jinxuan raised his eyebrows; he honestly wasn’t very clear about it.
Gong Xueyan saw his reaction and knew he didn’t know, pouting cutely, "Hmph, aren’t you concerned about ? My mom is Vivian!"
Vivian? Lu Jinxuan furrowed his brows, searching his mind for information... Ah, he seed to rember. There was a jewelry design master with this na.
Not long ago, didn’t he buy a set of Ruby worth a billion and give it to Yu Sangwan? But that girl didn’t even glance at it, just had him throw it into the sea. Thinking of this, Lu Jinxuan couldn’t help but smile.
Lu Jinxuan... was indeed a madman!
Lu Jinxuan composed himself, his attitude transitioning naturally, "Of course I wouldn’t forget. Mada Gong is here, the Lu Family will certainly entertain her well, and Donghua will surely put effort into the promotion."
"Jinxuan." Gong Xueyan was overjoyed upon hearing this, thinking it was Lu Jinxuan being conciliatory towards her, "Thank you."
Lu Jinxuan lowered his gaze, speaking softly, "It’s only right."
...
"Ah!"
Yu Sangwan stood up excitedly, almost spilling out the coffee from her mouth.
Pei Pei gave her a sideways glance and handed her a tissue, "Look at your lack of restraint! Is it really necessary?"
"Uh, it is." Yu Sangwan wiped her mouth while speaking, "Is this true?"
Pei Pei nodded with a smile, "True, truer than pearls!"
"Ah..." Yu Sangwan couldn’t calm down for a while, "So, how much is paid for a show like this?"
Pei Pei thought for a mont, "After this show, you probably won’t need to suspend your studies. But, you’ve already signed the contract... so you can’t breach it! And this opportunity ca because of the contract; the company fought for it on your behalf."
"Mm-hmm." Yu Sangwan nodded repeatedly, "I know, and I can’t afford to pay the penalty either!"
Pei Pei looked at her neck enviously, her slim arms and wrists, "You really have a good neck! The wrists too, so slender... both bony and sexy, you were chosen instantly."
"Mm!" Yu Sangwan was elated, "I never expected..."
They talked for a while, because Yu Sangwan had just signed the contract and was imdiately noticed by the company to walk in a high-end custom jewelry show. Cowes, this self-made high-end brand that most people haven’t heard of, is absolutely famous in the high-end jewelry industry.
Jewelry shows are different from ordinary shows.
What matters most is the model’s neck and wrist area... as these are the spots for wearing jewelry.
Yu Sangwan, besides having a lovely face, has the most enviable swan neck. Combined with her skin fairer than snow, she instantly caught the eye of the director of the Cowes show.
"What do I need to prepare?" Yu Sangwan was sowhat nervous; this was her first encounter with such a high-end event.
Pei Pei laughed, "Making yourself beautiful is the most important thing for you right now. Your neck and hands, they’re even more important than your face; they’re your tools for earning money."
The two of them joked around as Pei Pei casually flipped through Cowes’s brand brochure, which happened to include a profile of Cowes’s chief jewelry designer, with a photo... this person, was precisely Gong Xueyan’s mother.
"Vivian..."
Pei Pei admired, "What a beautiful and talented woman. Look at her... doesn’t she look like she’s in her forties?"
Yu Sangwan leaned over for a closer look and nudged Pei Pei, "Didn’t you see what it said? She’s only forty-one or two, being well-preserved isn’t surprising."
"Ah." Pei Pei frowned, lanting, "But she must have married well to have the ans to maintain herself! This Vivian, I heard she’s so wealthy family’s lady, uh... which family is it? I forgot, it’s not written here either."
"Tch." Yu Sangwan didn’t care, "She’s so capable, even if she hadn’t married into a wealthy family, she’d still do well on her own, afford to maintain herself."
Pei Pei was stunned for a mont, then laughed, "That’s true."
She suddenly stared at Yu Sangwan for a mont, "Eh, why does this person look a bit like you?"
"Hmm?" Yu Sangwan paused, then smiled, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Really! Look at the photo! Especially this profile..." The more Pei Pei spoke, the more excited she beca. She turned Yu Sangwan around for comparison, "At first glance, you can’t tell the two profiles apart!"
"That exaggerated?" Yu Sangwan was half convinced, taking a closer look, "Don’t say, there is so resemblance."
Pei Pei sighed, "It’s destiny! That’s why Cowes quickly decided on you."
"Hehe." Yu Sangwan laughed happily, "Let’s go!"
Pei Pei pretended to be annoyed, "Go where? You need to treat to a good al today!"
"Hehe." Yu Sangwan understood her well; was she really annoyed? "Okay, okay, I’ll buy you sothing delicious!"
"Four Seasons Silks!"
Oh my, what a big spender.
Yu Sangwan thought about it and still agreed, "Alright."
"Haha." Pei Pei was delighted, "Let’s go quickly, quickly!"
Four Seasons Silks.
Pei Pei and Yu Sangwan hooked arms, chatting and laughing as they walked in. "I’m going to order the most expensive."
"Sure..."
Yu Sangwan had just said a word when her steps stopped. In the quiet lobby, Lu Jinxuan stood by the window, holding a phone as he talked.
Since returning from Fishing Boat Island last ti, they hadn’t seen each other for a while. Unexpectedly, just visiting an advanced restaurant once, they ran into him... Donghua really is small.
Lu Jinxuan didn’t notice the people entering at the door; he was upset over the phone in his hand.
This call was from his... father.
"Mm." Lu Jinxuan frowned tightly; whatever his father was saying on the other end, he rely responded, did he actually listen? Both father and son knew the truth.
"When are you coming back?" The voice on the other end was calm and steady, "I won’t ask about anything else. I don’t care how you play, but the important matters... shouldn’t be delayed."
Tch... Lu Jinxuan wanted to laugh. He didn’t care how he played? That was because, as a father, he was inherently irresponsible, wasn’t he?
Lu Jinxuan didn’t bother to expose it, only lightly saying, "Don’t worry, I know what I’m supposed to do."
"That’s good then."
The call ended, and Lu Jinxuan felt dazed and lost. He lowered his eyes, looking at his phone as if that call had been just an illusion. He turned around and saw Yu Sangwan and Pei Pei. Without warning, Lu Jinxuan clearly felt his heart rate suddenly speed up!
"..."
Lu Jinxuan was startled by this sensation. What was happening to him?
Even more unbelievably, he found himself involuntarily taking steps towards Yu Sangwan.
Pei Pei clearly noticed and tugged at Yu Sangwan, "Hey! He’s coming over."
"..." Yu Sangwan averted her gaze, "He’s probably not coming for ."
Before the words finished, a graceful and sexy figure walked over, none other than Gong Xueyan. Gong Xueyan, dressed in luxurious clothing, matched the place perfectly. She also noticed Yu Sangwan, but surprisingly, did not make things difficult.
Instead, she smirked contemptuously, quickening her pace towards Lu Jinxuan.
"Jinxuan, why aren’t you in yet? Are you still on the phone?"
As she approached, she reached out to take Lu Jinxuan’s arm.
Lu Jinxuan frowned, dodging her, and growled impatiently, "Enough, huh!"
Gong Xueyan’s hand was left hanging, feeling unhappy inside, "Isn’t it because of her? Did you invite her? Lu Jinxuan, why do you have won everywhere except looking at ?"
Lu Jinxuan had no mood to deal with her. He gazed anxiously at Yu Sangwan, but... Yu Sangwan had deliberately turned her head and was no longer looking at him!
"..." Lu Jinxuan was full of irritation, an inexplicable discomfort!
Why was this happening? Why so uncomfortable? He couldn’t stand it... couldn’t stand what? Couldn’t stand Yu Sangwan not looking at her? This feeling shouldn’t be his... yet, he was also Lu Jinxuan! The heart beating in his left chest was the sa one!
