Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When they entered the living room, they saw an old man sitting at the head of the table with a crutch. His expression was especially solemn. Sitting on the old man’s left was the retired chairman of the Lu Corporation, Lu Zhensong, and his wife, Fan Jingshu. Sitting on the right was a man who looked a little similar to Lu Jingyan. His handsome face was filled with coldness, and his whole body emitted an unique ruthless presence.
“Grandpa, Dad, Mom.” Lu Jingyan walked over and called out calmly.
Su Yanxi followed behind him. Although her tone was mild, her attitude was very polite. “Grandpa, Dad, Mom, Big… Brother.”
The people in the living room all looked over. Seeing the two of them come, the strange atmosphere in the living room was relieved. Fan Jingshu hurriedly stood up and smiled, “Ah Yan and Yanxi are back. Come and sit. We were waiting for the two of you.”
The two of them had just sat down when an aged voice sounded, “Why did you two come together today?”
Both the Lu and Su families knew that their marriage was a secret and they lived apart. Even though they had tried to persuade them many times, nothing had changed.
“It’s on the way,” Lu Jingyan replied lightly without explaining much.
“Since it’s on the way, you two shall come home together for dinner in the future! You’re clearly husband and wife, so why are you two acting like you’re strangers?” The Old Master’s status in the Lu Family was extremely formidable. Therefore, no matter if it was towards his son or grandson, he would always have them adhere to the words ‘absolutely obey orders’.
His old gaze landed on Su Yanxi and the seriousness on his face eased a little, “Has Yanxi’s work been smooth recently?”
“Everything is smooth. Thank you, Grandpa,” Su Yanxi replied respectfully with a faint smile.
Perhaps, it was because the Lu Family did not have a daughter, but ever since Su Yanxi married over, she would basically enjoy the princess’ treatment every time she went back to the Lu Family’s villa for a meal. Even the old master, who was used to being serious, would smile rarely in front of her. This was something that Lu Yiyang and Lu Jingyan could never enjoy in their lives.
Lu Zhensong looked at his father and asked softly, “Dad, since everyone is here, let’s eat!”
The Old Master nodded, “Alright, let’s eat!”
Lu Zhensong shot a glance at the butler standing not far away before looking at Su Yanxi, “Knowing that you’re coming today, your mother has been preparing West Lake Vinegar Fish that you like in the kitchen.”
When Su Yanxi heard this, she looked at Fan Jingshu, her eyes filled with gratitude, “Mom, thank you for all the trouble.”
“There’s no trouble at all. It’s good that you like it. Let’s go!” Fan Jingshu patted the back of her hand and pulled her into the dining area.
The two brothers, Lu Yiyang and Lu Jingyan, did not speak at all throughout the whole process. They watched everything silently. After their family members had all entered the dining room, the two of them slowly got up. Lu Jingyan asked first, “Why are you back?”
Lu Yiyang placed his hands into his pants pocket and said with a cold tone, “Old Master wants to talk to me about marriage.”
Lu Jingyan was not surprised by this. After all, Lu Yiyang was now the leader of the Lu Corporation. Even he, a bystander, could not escape from the marriage arranged by the Old Master, let alone Lu Yiyang.
“Have you let go of what happened before?” Lu Jingyan looked at him from the corner of his eyes as his cold lips moved.
When Lu Yiyang heard this, a dark light gathered in his deep eyes and he sighed silently, “So what if I can’t let go? Do you dare to disobey Old Master’s orders?”
His lips pursed into a thin line. Yah, right!
Didn’t he agree to marry Su Yanxi because he didn’t dare defy the Old Master’s orders?
And now, no matter how much Lu Yiyang resented the Old Master, he, too, did not dare to disobey his orders.
