579 That Day Will Come Soon
“Judging from Lu Feng’s attitude, it’s obvious that he knows something. Do you think he’ll still be kind enough to give us some advice?” Lu Guo’s expression turned even colder, “he’s afraid that we’ll continue to expand the Lu family, and he won’t even have the chance to take revenge. That’s why he came here on purpose and tried to make me give up on this project. That’s why I have to do this project!” Lu Guo slammed the table and made up his mind. “When Shaoyang and Su Ling’s wedding is over, even if we can’t use the funds, we still have the Su family, right? We’re a family by then, and the Su Family would not stand by when we are in trouble?”
The Lu and Su families had always been of the same family tree. Now that they were even closer, it could be considered double protection. Hearing this, Mrs. Lu felt more at ease. She nodded and said, “That’s right. Our company’s stock price is soaring, and it’s rising. If you want to do it, then do it!” As she said that, she and Lu Guo looked at each other, and similar ambitions simultaneously gushed out of their eyes.
On the other side, Lu Feng walked out of the gates of the Lu family’s house. After he finished smoking his cigar in his car, he took out his phone and called Shen Hanxing with a smile. “Mrs. Ji, the matter is done.”
“Mr. Lu Feng, you truly live up to your reputation. You’re quick and decisive,” Shen Hanxing chuckled, “let Lu Guo have his sweet dreams for now. When they’ve climbed to the top, they’ll fall back down. That’ll be the most painful and satisfying to watch.”
“Thanks to you, Mrs. Ji,” Lu Feng let out a sigh of relief. He could not help but laugh and said in a low voice, “maybe I’m getting less mature as I get older. I can’t wait to watch the show.” He had been waiting for this moment for too many years. Initially, he thought that he had gotten used to waiting. However, as time passed, he gradually became more and more anxious. He wanted to see the pain and regretful expressions on the hypocritical faces of Lu Guo and Mrs. Lu as soon as possible.
“Mr. Lu Feng, don’t worry. That day will come very soon,” Shen Hanxing’s red lips curled into a smile, and her tone was firm, “you’ll be able to go back to Sino restaurant to listen to the piano performance very soon.”
Lu Feng was slightly taken aback when he heard that. He then laughed in a hoarse voice. His laughter grew louder and louder, and clear tears dripped on the carpet under the seat. After a long time, Lu Feng stopped laughing and said to Shen Hanxing, “Thank you for your kind words.” His voice was hoarse and slightly choked.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Feng covered his face with his hands and bent his back, exuding endless loneliness.
On the other end, Shen Hanxing had just hung up the phone when a warm palm landed on her shoulder. “Madam.” Ji Yan lowered his head and kissed Shen Hanxing’s forehead gently. “It’s time to eat. Grandma is waiting for you downstairs.”
“I’m coming,” Shen Hanxing’s eyes lit up when she saw Ji Yan. She wrapped her arms around his thin waist and said softly, “Thank you, Mr. Ji.” As she spoke, she lifted her head and gave Ji Yan a gentle kiss on his chin. Shen Hanxing’s smooth dark hair drooped behind her back, revealing her radiant face and slender swan neck. She looked beautiful yet fragile. Her black and white eyes had a sly smile, and she looked at Ji Yan with a charming gaze.
“Is everything going well with Madam’s plan?” Ji Yan’s Adam’s apple rolled as he caressed Shen Hanxing’s smooth hair. His eyes filled with desire. “Lu Guo is an old fox. He has been partners with Su Ling’s father for many years, so they have a good understanding of each other.”
“No matter how tacit they are, the Su family’s surname is Su, not Lu,” Shen Hanxing stood up with a smile and pulled Ji Yan out of the room. “I believe President Su won’t be so stupid as to sacrifice his company to help the Lu family. After Lu Shaoyang and Su Lng’s wedding, we will end this.”
Seeing Shen Hanxing’s confident and relaxed expression, Ji Yan smiled. He had always been cold and distant, but this smile made him seem particularly gentle. It was as if an ice mountain had melted, making others jealous of the person who could make him smile and treat her with exceptional gentleness.
Qiao Xi happened to see this scene when she went upstairs. After being stunned for a moment, she suddenly lowered her head and said, “Madam Ji, Mr. Ji, the old madam is waiting for you in the dining room. She clenched her hands and said nervously, “Please go… and have dinner.” The more anxious she was, the more mistakes she made. Qiao Xi stuttered on a simple sentence, and her face suddenly flushed red. She was so embarrassed that she was about to cry. How could she not even do such a small thing? She was too useless!
