A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu

Chapter 694 Shen Yuechuan, Don’t Get Married (1)

“Good afternoon, here is your steamed bass. Please enjoy yourself.”

The waiter served the dishes one by one, but Lin Zhixia didn’t react for a long time.

Xiao Yunyun couldn’t help asking, “Zhixia, what are you thinking?”

“... Oh, nothing.” After a long time, Lin Zhixia smiled and said, “I’m just... so surprised.”

“Well, I can understand,” Xiao Yunyun said as if she had experience with such a thing. “When my mom told me that Yuechuan was my brother, I was very surprised, and I was even going to doubt the whole world!”

“Why?” Lin Zhixia perfectly concealed her probing. “Isn’t it good to have such a brother as Yuechuan?”

“Well... I’ve known him for so long, and I’m used to rough-and-tumble play with him.” Xiao Yunyun spread her hands helplessly. “Now in front of outsiders, I have to call him brother. If I argue with him again, I’ll be considered impertinent and disrespectful, which I’m really unhappy about. However, if I was older than him and he had to call me elder sister, I’d be very happy!”

Lin Zhixia laughed and said, “Yunyun, I think you’re very cute!”

“...”

Xiao Yunyun felt that she was born to be not “cute”. If used to describe her, this word was enough to give her goosebumps.

She coughed heavily and said, “When you see me dissecting frogs and doing experiments with little white mice and rabbits, you won’t think I’m cute anymore.”

Lin Zhixia held her chin and looked Xiao Yunyun up and down. She was a pure, pretty, and energetic girl. It was really hard to imagine her as being a heart surgeon with a scalpel.

Lin Zhixia took the opportunity to ask, “You’re about to get your diploma, right? You’ll soon become a certified doctor, won’t you?”

“I’m going to apply for postgraduate study at a university in the United States.” Xiao Yunyun said, “If everything goes well, I’ll go to the U.S. once my internship is completed.”

“Xiao Yunyun is going to leave City A?”

Lin Zhixia seemed to see a glimmer of hope, but she perfectly concealed the relief in her heart. She just said, “It’s good to continue studying. After returning to China, I believe that you will become a very great doctor!”

“After graduation, I may not return to City A,” Xiao Yunyun said. “I grew up in Australia, where my family and friends live, so I may go back there.”

Lin Zhixia’s eyes lit up. She smiled and said, “You can stay wherever you like. Making yourself feel comfortable is the most important thing!”

Xiao Yunyun nodded and said, “Let’s eat.”

In fact, of course, she liked City A more.

Although she grew up in Australia, she preferred this place, as well as the domestic food, perhaps because of her bloodline.

However, if she stayed in City A and watched Shen Yuechuan get married and have kids, she was afraid that she would collapse.

“This time, I’d better be a coward and escape.”

After the meal, Xiao Yunyun went back to her office. There was still half an hour before she needed to work again. She opened the computer and looked at the news on the Internet.

The stock price of Zhong Enterprises kept falling. According to the internal information of Zhong Enterprises, before the influence of this matter disappeared, the board of directors decided to suspend all Zhong Lue’s duties in the company.

There was also new information from the police station—

The police station released information saying that the human trafficking group admitted that Zhong Lue had given them a sum of money for intimidating a girl, rather than kidnapping a girl. Although Zhong Lue refused to admit it, the police proved that the confession of the criminal gang was true.

The police, having sufficient evidence and witnesses, had already charged Zhong Lue. This time, Young Master Zhong could not escape being imprisoned.

Although Zhong Lue did not participate in the activity of human trafficking, he was confirmed as having cooperated with the criminal gang and committing a premeditated crime, which had caused irreversible damage to the business image of Zhong Enterprises.

This huge stain would be with Zhong Lue for the rest of his life.

Xiao Yunyun was greatly satisfied with the result.

People like Zhong Lue should get a taste of what it feels like to be trapped in jail, so he wouldn’t be arrogant and domineering or think that he was invincible in the world.

Since there was no way to restore the company’s image, the Zhong family had to settle for second best and keep Zhong Lue from being imprisoned.

Otherwise, the sentencing record would be kept in Zhong Lue’s file for the rest of his life. He was only in his 20s, which was the critical period of his life. He must not be allowed to go to jail.

Mr. Zhong personally went to negotiate with Lu Boyan at Lu Enterprises.

The old man made a very generous offer. “Mr. Lu, I promise you anything, even if you want half of Zhong Enterprises, as long as you withdraw your complaint. After that, I will accompany Zhong Lue here and apologize to you personally.”

“Mr. Zhong, it’s not me who is going to charge Manager Zhong now, but the police.” Lu Boyan’s voice was cold, as if there was no room for negotiation. “Besides, Zhong Lue has caused harm to my sister. I’m afraid I can’t promise you.”

“Young man, aren’t you afraid?” Mr. Zhong gave up the friendly negotiation and began to threaten him. “It’s no good for Lu Enterprises to be our enemy.”

Lu Boyan smiled indifferently. “I don’t mind.”

In Mr. Zhong’s eyes, behind Lu Boyan’s indifference, there was a hidden arrogance. Lu Boyan was so arrogant that he ignored the strength of Zhong Enterprises and looked down upon everything.

Mr. Zhong’s face darkened. “Boss Lu, I hope you can remember everything that happened today!”

“Mr. Zhong should have a deeper impression of today.” Lu Boyan calmly reminded him, “Today, the stocks of Zhong Enterprises should decline even more.”

This sentence hit right on Mr. Zhong’s sore spot.

Mr. Zhong had lived most of his life and experienced a lot. But he didn’t expect that the biggest blow in his life would come from a young man in his early 30s.

He would remember this day, forever.

Mr. Zhong snorted and with a flick of his sleeves, was about to leave.

“Mr. Zhong,” Lu Boyan stood up and said, “Manager Zhong is an adult, and he should be held responsible for what he has done. I left him to the police just for your sake.”

Otherwise, he could have dealt with Zhong Lue on his own and made Zhong Lue feel that death was the best result.

Mr. Zhong didn’t appreciate that at all. He looked at Lu Boyan coldly and said, “You are too arrogant! But soon, you will know that you are still too young!”

After sending Mr. Zhong off, Shen Yuechuan felt strange. “Isn’t being young a kind of capital? In Mr. Zhong’s eyes, how does being young represent being ignorant and weak? However, having such a father, it’s no wonder that Zhong Lue is so stupid.”

Lu Boyan just said, “I’m free this weekend. How about meeting your girlfriend?”

Shen Yuechuan was stunned for two seconds before he came to his senses and said, “Okay.”

It was getting closer to autumn in City A. On the weekend, even the chill in the air was getting heavier.

Su Jian’an packed up her summer clothes, took out the autumn shirts and sweaters, and went shopping with Luo Xiaoxi for half a day in the mall and bought a lot of good-looking autumn clothes for the two little guys.

Luo Xiaoxi was not satisfied at all, so she picked out a lot of clothes on international websites and said, “Our babies are so beautiful; they should wear all good-looking clothes!”

Su Jian’an smiled and said, “By the way, Yuechuan will bring his girlfriend over here.”

“I heard that the girl is Yunyun’s colleague.” Luo Xiaoxi made a praying gesture. “I hope she’s as fun as Yunyun.”

It turned out to be somewhat disappointing to Luo Xiaoxi.

Lin Zhixia was different from them. She was more like a lady of an eminent family, with every word and deed being graceful. Such a beautiful and gentle girl should be the goddess of most men’s dreams.

However, she didn’t expect Shen Yuechuan to like this kind of woman.

This was totally beyond her expectation.

Xiao Yunyun and Lin Zhixia knew each other, so Shen Yuechuan didn’t introduce Lin Zhixia to her. Xiao Yunyun was also afraid that she would expose herself, so she just left them and went to see the two babies.

Day by day, the two little guys had been growing up and became more and more lovely. Xiao Yunyun held them in her arms and didn’t want to let them go.

Lin Zhixia walked over and put down an exquisite blue Tiffany bag. “This is a gift for the two babies.”

“Thanks a lot.”

Su Jian’an’s cell phone suddenly rang. She let Xiao Yunyun take care of the two little guys and went to the corner of the living room to answer the phone.

Lin Zhixia looked at the two little guys and couldn’t help but praise them. “They are so cute.”

“Yeah.” Xiao Yunyun smiled. “When they grow up, they will be as attractive as my cousin and cousin-in-law!”

“They already are now.” Lin Zhixia looked as if she was trying to hug them. “Can I hug them?”

“Of course.” Xiao Yunyun pointed at Xiangyi and said, “This little girl likes to be held by others. You can try holding her.”

Lin Zhixia was popular with adults rather than kids.

Xiangyi always liked to cry and beg for a hug, but when she got into Lin Zhixia’s arms, she burst into tears without hesitation, kicking her hands and feet as if she was struggling.

Lin Zhixia immediately panicked and hurriedly asked, “Did I hurt her?”

“No way, your way of holding a child is correct.” Xiao Yunyun approached her and touched Xiangyi’s face. “Little girl, what’s wrong with you?”

Xiangyi looked at Xiao Yunyun and cried even harder. Her voice made people feel so sorry for her.

Xiao Yunyun couldn’t bear to let her cry. She reached out her hands and said, “Let me give it a try.”

“Okay.” Lin Zhixia quickly handed Xiangyi to Xiao Yunyun.

It was strange that as soon as Xiangyi got into Xiao Yunyun’s arms, she stopped crying. She obediently buried her face in Xiao Yunyun’s arms and sobbed from time to time. She was unwilling to look at Lin Zhixia, as if she had suffered a great grievance from her.

In this way, Lin Zhixia felt embarrassed.

Xiao Yunyun hurriedly said, “She should be shy with strangers.”

Lin Zhixia smiled and said, “... Maybe.”

Not far away, Su Jian’an and Luo Xiaoxi watched all this.

Su Jian’an nudged Luo Xiaoxi’s arm and asked, “What do you think of her?”

“She’s quite conventional. I don’t like her.” Luo Xiaoxi was very straightforward. “Such girls, as if they have been strictly trained, are elegant and polite. She will never make a mistake in word and deed. She is also beautiful, and it will be a great honor for a man to go out with her.”

“That sounds perfect.” Su Jian’an felt strange. “Then why don’t you like her?”

“She looks very natural, but in fact, it’s because her purpose is not obvious.” Luo Xiaoxi said, “She is a good girl, and also a good marriage partner, but... I simply don’t like her. Well, it seems that Xiangyi doesn’t like her either...”

Su Jian’an couldn’t help but smile. “Maybe Xiangyi is shy with strangers.”

“No, Yunyun said so in order not to embarrass her.” Luo Xiaoxi didn’t show any mercy. “Before she hugged Xiangyi, our little Xiangyi was not shy with strangers at all!”

It was true that Xiangyi was happy to be hugged by anyone before.

Perhaps the little girl really didn’t like Lin Zhixia...
