"I’m not, I didn’t do it, soone set up. Grandpa, you know , you should know I’m not that kind of person. I just got caught in a trap, otherwise why would I say those things and do those things? It’s all his doing, it’s all him." Lu Ang stubbornly clung to Xu Ke.
"I think what you usually tell are lies, and these words are the truth." The old master Lu looked at his grandson with an emotionless gaze, speaking with a flat tone.
"You keep insisting that soone frad you, then tell how he did it? I really don’t know of any thod in the world that can make soone say these words." The corner of Mr. Lu’s mouth slightly curled up, but with a thick sense of mockery. This sight fell on Lu Ang, causing him to freeze on the spot.
Yes, how could Xu Ke have hard him? He just said a few provocative words, just looked at him a few tis with eyes he hated. He couldn’t help but blurt out the words buried deep in his heart, and this was beyond argunt.
Lu Ang knew he was done for.
The people at the banquet watched the scene unfold before them, quietly chatting with those beside them, but because they spoke too softly, it was inaudible from a distance. With so many people speaking, all the sounds mingled together, making the banquet scene chaotic.
Lu Ang released his grip on Mr. Lu, stood up from the ground, and stumbled out. His group of lackeys, seeing no one was paying attention, also ran out, hoping the two bigwigs wouldn’t rember their faces.
Mr. Lu stood on the stage, and after saying a few words into the microphone, he successfully cald the previously restless crowd.
The banquet returned to its previous liveliness, with the aroma of wines and the clinking of glasses.
"I really didn’t expect him to fall to this point." Lin ngyao sighed as she observed the lively scene before her.
"What, do you feel sorry for him?" Xu Ke raised an eyebrow and asked.
Hearing Xu Ke’s words, Lin ngyao quickly widened her eyes and retorted, "How is that possible? I would never feel sorry for soone like him. I’m just amazed that soone with blood ties could so easily be abandoned."
Seeing the fleeting sadness in Lin ngyao’s eyes, Xu Ke realized she was relating it to herself. He hurriedly patted Lin ngyao’s shoulder, comforting her, "I won’t abandon you, no matter what happens, I won’t abandon you."
"Hmm." Lin ngyao responded softly.
After comforting Lin ngyao, just as Xu Ke was about to take her to et so people, Lu Ying approached with a glass of wine, a faint smile on her face, "You really are a scary man." Lu Ying raised her glass to toast Xu Ke.
Xu Ke didn’t say anything, smiling as he picked up his glass and clinked it against hers. The transparent glasses t in mid-air with a crisp sound.
Lin ngyao didn’t know what kind of riddle the two were playing, her eyes filled with a hint of confusion as she looked at Xu Ke, appearing extrely cute.
"Your wife is truly fortunate to have married you. If I were thirty years younger, I wouldn’t let a man like you get away. But alas, I’m old now. I hope we can maintain our cooperative relationship in the future. I don’t want to beco your enemy; being your enemy is too scary, you might not even know how you’d end up. Honestly, I’m very curious why the Xu Family’s genes are so strong, seeing you is like seeing your father. You two are really alike in every aspect." Lu Ying said while glancing at Lin ngyao.
"Look at , I’ve had too much to drink and started rambling, not even knowing what I’m talking about. I’ll leave now and not disturb you two any longer." Lu Ying walked away with her wine glass, leaving a trace of indescribable lancholy in her expression.
"What did she an by what she just said?" Seeing no one coming to interrupt them, Lin ngyao asked Xu Ke, "What kind of riddle were you two playing just now? What are you hiding from ?"
"It’s nothing really, just collaborating with Lu Ying to set up Lu Ang to vent your anger. Do you feel any better now?" Xu Ke asked with a slightly elevated tone.
"My anger subsided a long ti ago. But how did you manage to set up Lu Ang without noticing anything?" Lin ngyao’s eyes widened, bright with uncontainable curiosity.
Seeing Lin ngyao like this, Xu Ke’s heart was filled with joy. Perhaps Lin ngyao didn’t realize it, but she was becoming more open, more childlike in front of Xu Ke. This showed she loved Xu Ke even more, and Xu Ke enjoyed this feeling of being relied upon by her.
"It’s simple, just bribed a waiter to stick close to Lu Ang all night, then gave him a drink with sothing extra in it. The drug only causes anxiety and frustration, but it doesn’t harm the body, and it exits the system within three hours, undetectable by machines." Xu Ke’s lips curled into a sly smile, looking like a cunning fox.
"What about the source of the drug?" Lin ngyao’s eyes showed a worried expression. Unlike other countries, the control over drugs in China is very strict, and Lin ngyao was very concerned about the drug’s source. If there was a problem and the authorities found out, Xu Ke would face imprisonnt.
Seeing Lin ngyao’s worried expression, Xu Ke laughed and said, "The source is fine, don’t worry."
Seeing Xu Ke’s relaxed deanor, Lin ngyao was also infected and relaxed, but soon furrowed her brows again. One problem was solved but another arose, "Her words just now, does it an she’s interested in you? But the latter part of her words was strange, her tone wasn’t much different, so what’s the situation?" If Xu Ke could read Lin ngyao’s thoughts, he would definitely find her mind filled with question marks.
"She has no interest in , but she was interested in my father. I heard from Grandpa that the two of them almost got together back then. My father liked her at the ti, but she wasn’t aware of it, so that affection ended without a result. Later, my dad t my mom, my mom pursued my dad, and he accepted her. But the day he accepted my mom, she realized her feelings and confessed to my dad, the outco was predictable." Xu Ke looked at Lu Ying, who was roaming the banquet, and spoke with a slight nostalgic tone.
"It’s a pity and a sha when two people don’t fall in love at the right ti." Lin ngyao sighed deeply.
This matter was soon forgotten by the two as the banquet ended. The once high-profile Lu Ang beca low-key, and there were no changes in Lin ngyao and Xu Ke’s lives, except that Lin ngyao started going out more frequently.
