As soon as Shuxin and Huo Yanqing left, Lu Jinshen walked towards them. He looked at Shuxin apologetically. "I'm sorry about what happened to Lei Lei."
Although Shuxin hated Fu Zhilei, she knew that Lu Jinshen was different from Fu Zhilei. He was a man of his word. "It has nothing to do with you."
"This won't happen again. I'll send her abroad when we get back." Lu Jinshen was giving Shuxin an explanation.
From the conversation between the two men, Shuxin knew that Fu Zhilei couldn't be blamed for what happened today. Even if Fu Zhilei hadn't knocked her out, the two men would have found a way to kidnap her, and the result might have been worse.
However, Fu Zhilei's behavior of stopping her from being with Huo Yanqing again and again made her very unhappy.
Therefore, Shuxin said straightforwardly, "Okay."
Lu Jinshen was silent for a moment before he asked Shuxin, "Tong Qiao didn't come?"
Shuxin guessed that someone must have gone into hiding. "She's here. She probably went upstairs."
It was almost time for dinner, and people were already coming upstairs one after another.
Huo Yanqing remembered that Tong Qiao had asked Yang Ji to cheat on Lu Jinshen. Although it didn't work out in the end, it was true that the young lady didn't like Lu Jinshen. "Do you really plan to marry her?"
Lu Jinshen's gaze scanned the hall on the first floor as he answered, "Yes."
Huo Yanqing thought for a moment and said, "Marriage is about mutual consent. A melon picked by force isn't sweet."
Lu Jinshen turned to look at Huo Yanqing. He didn't expect him to care about his marriage. However, on second thought, Shuxin and Tong Qiao were best friends. Huo Yanqing must have found out from Shuxin that Tong Qiao was unwilling to marry him.
Lu Jinshen's cold black eyes glanced at Shuxin and then landed on Huo Yanqing. "She'll be willing sooner or later."
Hearing Lu Jinshen's tone, Huo Yanqing knew that Lu Jinshen was most likely interested in Tong Qiao. Huo Yanqing was very surprised. Lu Jinshen hadn't been interested in any woman for so many years. Why was he interested in Tong? The two of them hadn't known each other for long. "Why?"
Lu Jinshen and Huo Yanqing had been fighting side by side for many years. The two of them had a tacit understanding. Although Huo Yanqing only said three words, Lu Jinshen knew what he was asking. After thinking for a moment, he smiled faintly and asked, "Why did you choose Shuxin?"
Huo Yanqing was instantly speechless. It seemed that Lu Jinshen was sincere this time. "I wish you success."
Lu Jinshen smiled faintly and took the lead to walk upstairs.
Shuxin held Huo Yanqing's hand and slowed down her pace. She asked him in a low voice, "You know that Qiao 'er doesn't like Lu Jinshen. Why didn't you help persuade her?"
"Jin Shen is different from Zhilei. He's a reliable man."
Shuxin knew that no matter what she said, Huo Yanqing would think that she was against Lu Jinshen and Tong Qiao being together because of Fu Zhilei. Therefore, she didn't say anything else.
…
Lu Jinshen went upstairs and glanced around the banquet hall. Finally, his eyes fixed on a corner and he walked over.
Tong Qiao was engrossed in playing games on her phone. She felt someone sit down beside her. Without looking, she said, "Ningning, help me watch the staircase. Let me know if the old man comes."
Lu Jinshen's dark eyes narrowed slightly. "Who's the old man?"
"Lu Jinshen." Tong Qiao answered reflexively. After answering, she felt that something was wrong. This voice … She looked up. "Ah …" Tong Qiao was so shocked that she jumped up from the chair. The phone in her hand fell to the ground with a bang. "Why … Why is it you?"
