To Love You Again

Chapter 523 - Signs of Torrential Storm

The man in front of her looked really upset.

He was definitely angry.

Tang Yin was confused at the sudden flow of information.

She tried to reorganize her thoughts.

So based on what this man said...this pen was his?

Yes, she indeed got this almost a year ago. It was thrown by a man with silver head—

Tang Yin's eyes suddenly went wide.

Silver head. Blue rose.

The symbol of Second Young Master Lu!

Tang Yin felt her head ache.

How come the coincidence was too much?

Rather, how dull had she become to just notice it now?

She was really innocent and did not know that this pen was his!

Tang Yin scratched her head. She was fl.u.s.tered too.

"Believe it or not, I didn't know it's yours. I am not scheming at you or anything. It is really a pure coincidence. That time, I just came back to the country and I was hit hard by the box you threw—"

Then suddenly remembering that this man had hit him hard on the head, Tang Yin's tone changed slightly. "Hold on, aren't you supposed to be the one who should apologize to me?"

Lu Yin Ze coldly looked at her. "You are telling me to apologize to you? I think you have mistaken south from north."

Oh, right. He was her savior. She was still in debt ah.

Tang Yin muttered. "Fine, I will forgive you this one time."

Then she looked at Lu Yin Ze. Even though she told him many times that it was purely a coincidence and that she owned the pen with pure intentions, this man who had a stubborn head would likely not believe her anymore.

Sigh.

"I am telling, you. I don't like you that way and I never chased after you. If you want, you can have that pen back."

She threw a regretful glance at the pen. The pen was slender, light, and perfect for her slender fingers.

Tang Yin had sensitive fingers. She was a piano player and her fingers were very picky. Even though the pen was thrown by someone, when she saw the top quality material used in the pen and the fine ink inside, she still fell in love with the pen at first write.

It was rare for her to like things, so she grabbed the pen and used it like it was hers.

She thought back then, since this was thrown away, it meant that it was not wanted, right? If she found the owner by chance, she planned to pay for it. However, she did not expect that the owner would find it so soon.

She had not even used the pen more than five times, ah! Now, she had to return Zhi to this man...

Wait—

Tang Yin suddenly realized something.

Lu Yin Ze clutched the pen and put it inside his b.r.e.a.s.t pocket.

"I will be getting this back. Just the thought that this present was owned by someone else who did not deserve it is revolting."

Lu Yin Ze was convinced once more that Tang Yin was lying all along to him.

Tang Yin: ...╬

Calm down... He was your savior.

"Oh, on the second thought, I should burn it, it won't be of use anymore since you have touched it."

Tang Yin: "..."

[email?protected]#$%!

She exploded.

Screw it all!

Tang Yin's tightly closed lips finally opened.

"You'll burn it because it won't be of use? Well, no wonder, I can understand. Since the person you wanted to give it to don't want to accept your gift at all."

After venting slightly, she then shut her mouth tightly again when she finally got control of her emotions.

Damn it!

She almost said things she shouldn't have said towards her benefactor.

Lu Yin Ze's face turned even colder.

"You finally took off your pretentious mask."

Tang Yin looked away and ignored the man.

She had vented a bit. That was enough.

However, Lu Yin Ze was in distress.

His heart was already broken severely and ruthlessly. He was already in desperate times.

His rival overcame his shackles and his ability was proven top notch.

Lu Yin Ze was clearly lacking.

And now, he felt like as time passed by, the distance between them was getting farther and father.

The dream of getting Xiong Zhi again was getting fuzzier. And now this sly and sinister woman forcefully reopened his wounds and poured acid onto it.

Lu Yin Ze's cap on his emotions was removed and all his grievances poured out.

"A pretentious woman like you won't understand!" His words came out harshly. "You can never find happiness through your schemes. You can never force someone to love you, no matter how great your background is or how pretty you are. You will never—"

'She will never look at me. '

Tears appeared at the corners of his eyes.

Lu Yin Ze quickly looked away and blinked fast to dispel them, but Tang Yin who was guarded and cautious caught them.

Eh?

'He cried?'

Her eyes silently watched the man's side face.

Are those words really for her? Or for him?

Tang Yin could somehow guess Lu Yin Ze's situation.

With Tang Xinyang's constant chanting of 'the two of you should mend your broken heart together' and her persistent effort to make sure that both of them would not return to their one-sided loves, Tang Yin somehow guessed that the one who broke this man's heart was Tang Xinyang's friend.

And who was the only the female friend of her sister with the name 'Zhi'?

It was only Xiong Zhi.

So this person had an unrequited love for Xiong Zhi?

The winter daylight was dazzling.

It lit up the indoor patio and the heated flooring made the world feel warm.

But for the two, it was like their surroundings were dim and they were suffocating.

They stood a few meters away from each other.

Their genders, their heights, their appearances, and everything else looked different, but they seem like a reflection in the mirror.

Tang Yin did not like this kind of atmosphere. She also looked away and finally spoke after a long silence.

"Nothing is certain."

Lu Yin Ze silently glanced at her. His blue eyes with silver streaks were more striking when moistened.

Tang Yin met his eyes.

She said seriously, "Not unless those two marry. Heck, even marriage nowadays is fragile. What more of them? They have different status since birth. Especially when Xiong Zhi is the heiress of the family. It's a big matter. They will be oppressed from all sides—"

Lu Yin Ze's eyes suddenly went wide.

"You—" He had not mentioned Xiong Zhi yet.

How did she know? Did Tang Xinyang tell her sister?

Tang Yin did not explain how she found out and just continued, "In the future, they will both grow tired."

Lu Yin Ze looked at her in bewilderment.

Tang Yin crossed her arm.

"Do you know how to seduce someone?"

***

While the two was locked in the indoor patio, the two elders of the family were having their own serious talk.

Old Lu's cup suddenly fell to the ground and shattered.

"What did you say?!"

Mistress Tang regretfully glanced at the antique teacup she had bought from the auction long ago.

"If you are shocked, just yell, what are you breaking my teacup for?"

Old Lu finally calmed down. "Pardon me. I will send you a new set."

Mistress Tang nodded. She was happy with his promise. She put down her teacup first before speaking.

"As I've told you, EMA found out that your eldest grandson went to the South and became friends with some people there. At that time, Ming Zhi Yi also visited the North a couple of times. It's an amazing coincidence, he also formed some friendsh.i.p.s with some powers in the region."

Old Lu frowned.

He repeated what Mistress Tang had said that caused the tea cup to fall earlier.

His face was serious.

"And you are saying that those people are part of a single organization?"

Mistress Tang: "Yes. You and I are also a part of it. "

She looked at Old Lu with deep eyes.

Considering what happened a long time ago…

"I believed that they are planning something that is detrimental to the Lu family, and likely will impact all four families." Then Mistress Tang eyes flashed, "Or perhaps not only us...We could only determine what their motive really is after they had revealed the first part of their plan..."

Old Lu listened. He thought of that as well.

Mistress Tang continued, "Now that both of them are in the country, their next step is definitely going to implicate us. They are doing things in absolute secrecy, so I cannot further inquire without alarming them. But once the time comes and their plan plays out, I'm sure that it will be clear then. However, I don't think we can't just wait passively."

Old Lu took a deep breath.

"That Ming Zhi Yi, is he planning to, perhaps…" He was unable to continue his words.

Mistress Tang nodded with a serious face without letting him finish.

"Likely. I think you should prepare. Perhaps the time will soon come when your eldest grandson will come knocking on your door to bring you and your precious grandson down."

Old Lu closed his eyes tightly for a moment, then nodded gravely.

"I know. I only worry about my little Yin..."

Mistress Tang was also silent.

The silence stretched on for a long time before Old Lu spoke again.

"Are there any results with the Qian family?"
