Chapter 830: Unexpected Guest (2)

Zhao Youlin reluctantly said, “Since you have invited us so sincerely, we simply can’t turn that down.”

Nie Yunfan smiled stiffly and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He thought to himself, “I’ve heard that pregnant women are sensitive and have short fuses. Today, I finally see just how true it is…” It’s better for me to avoid this woman in the future.

As they were talking, a commotion suddenly came from outside. Zhao Youlin and the others were stunned. They turned their heads to look at the source of the noise and saw a young man in his early twenties leisurely walking in from outside the door.

Mu Tingfeng and Zhao Youlin looked at each other and saw a trace of doubt in each other’s eyes. It was obvious that the two of them did not know this young man who had suddenly appeared.

“Who is that man? Could he be a young master of some other company that is working with our company?”

Nie Yunfan was also dumbfounded. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. “You’ll have to ask your father or your brother about this. How would we know about this?”

Zhao Youlin frowned, but she had to admit that Nie Yunfan was right. After thinking for a while, she still felt a little worried. She stood up with Mu Tingfeng and walked toward Han Yichen and the others.

“Brother, do you know that man over there?” When Zhao Youlin walked over to Han Yichen and the others, she noticed that they were also looking at the young man over there. She furrowed her brows and asked in a low voice.

Han Yichen shook his head and was about to speak when Su He, who was standing at the side, suddenly cried out, “Ah, that person… could it be…”

Everyone’s eyes instantly focused on Su He. Su He’s expression froze slightly. Just as she was about to elaborate, she saw that the young man seemed to have noticed them and was walking straight towards them!

…

When they saw Su He’s expression change, they turned around and saw the main subject of their conversation walking toward them.

Everyone instantly fell silent. They narrowed their eyes and stared at the young man who was walking toward them. The man looked very young. His young face was a slightly unhealthy pale, but his lips were unusually seductive red. It made people feel as if they were looking at a vampire who was out foraging for food at night.

“Excuse me, Young Master Zhao and Ms. Zhao?” The young man’s slightly hoarse voice carried a maturity and magnetism that did not match his appearance.

It sounded very nice, but it made Zhao Youlin instinctively tense up. It was because of the bloody smell that permeated the air when the young man’s servant joined him.

This youth had definitely killed people before, and… he had killed more than just one!

Han Yichen’s eyes flickered when he heard the youth’s question. He said without batting an eyelid, “We are. May I ask who you are…”

The youth got the answer he wanted. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his blood-red lips parted into a charming smile. He said in a low voice, “Hello, Mr. Zhao, Ms. Zhao. I’ve been asked by my father to come over to congratulate Mr. Zhao’s child on his full moon.”

As the youth spoke, he asked the bodyguard behind him to bring an exquisite box to Han Yichen. “This is a gift that my father asked me to give to Mr. Zhao to celebrate his child’s full moon. I hope Mr. Zhao won’t mind it.”

Han Yichen glanced at the elaborate embroidery on the box. He did not need to open the box to know that the items inside were priceless. However, it was precisely because of this that Han Yichen became even more guarded.

He did not know this person, yet this person gave such an expensive gift to his child’s full moon gift. No matter how he looked at it, it did not seem right.

“May I know who your father…”

The youth smiled. “My father’s surname is Lu.”

“Lu?” Han Yichen raised his eyebrows. He did not take the gift from the person. Immediately, he seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Zhao Youlin.

Zhao Youlin was also stunned when she heard this. She quickly understood what Han Yichen meant. She stepped forward and smiled. “Mr. Lu?”

“Yes, Hello, Ms. Zhao. I’m Lu Sizheng.” When the young man saw that Zhao Youlin had stepped forward, he immediately turned around and extended his hand to her. His eyes flashed with interest.

The few of them were stunned when they saw his expression. They quickly realized that this person’s goal was not to participate in the child’s so-called full moon ceremony, but… Zhao Youlin.

A fierce light flashed in Mu Tingfeng’s eyes. He wanted to go forward, but Zhao Youlin gripped his hand reassuringly.

Zhao Youlin looked at Lu Sizheng with a faint smile. She reached out and shook his hand. “Hello, Young Master Lu. I’ve only met your father a few times. I didn’t expect him to be so thoughtful and specially send his son to come and participate in my little nephew’s full moon ceremony. We’re really flattered.”

Lu Sizheng saw their every move and listened to Zhao Youlin’s words. He smiled slightly and said, “Ms. Zhao is too modest. Father said that Ms. Zhao is a rare friend of his. There aren’t many people who can talk to him. Since he enjoys having talks with you, you might as well go and chat with my father more in the future. He’s at home alone, and we, as children, can’t serve him at all times. It’s inevitable that he’ll be bored alone. Now that we have Ms. Zhao, we feel much more at ease.”

Zhao Youlin’s eyes turned slightly cold, and she couldn’t help but sneer in her heart. If you don’t have time to accompany that person, would she have it? Moreover, who would have a casual chat with an underworld boss for no reason? Who knows, one day, you might provoke the other party, and he might raise his hand and shoot you?

Of course, the most important thing is that this person clearly expressed his gratitude, but his eyes clearly carried a trace of probing and hostility.

Zhao Youlin smiled without batting an eyelid. She retorted, “I didn’t expect that Mr. Lu would give us such an exorbitant gift after only meeting him a few times. I’m really flattered. However, for the matter of going over to accompany Mr. Lu… No matter how pleasant our little talks are, I’m still an outsider. If you, as his son, have the time to come here and ask me for help, is it not better spent on Mr. Lu? I believe that Mr. Lu will be happier if you spend more time with him.”

As soon as Zhao Youlin said this, the circle around them fell into a dead silence.

Lu Sizheng was stunned for a while before he finally came back to his senses. His lazy eyes suddenly narrowed, and the gaze he gave Zhao Youlin was no longer as hostile and contemptuous as before. Instead, he appeared to be a little interested.

“What Ms. Zhao said makes sense. I’ll definitely find time to accompany my father in the future. However, don’t be so stubborn now. Who knows when the status will change from outsiders to in-laws. When that time comes, I believe that my father will be very willing to chat with Ms. Zhao.”

Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng were both stunned when they heard this. Without thinking too much, Lu Sizheng had already taken the initiative to change the topic. He turned to look at Han Yichen and said with a smile, “Since you lot already know why I’m here, shouldn’t you spare my dignity and accept this gift for the time being?”
