"Cough, cough cough cough …"
Xin Yu felt like her throat was on fire. Qin Fangang, this bastard, he must have done it on purpose, especially the last six words — the more you do it, the more you feel it …
He must have done it on purpose!
Qin Fangang's words, which were full of hidden meaning, were paired with his handsome face. Lu Shiyun couldn't see any flaws in his words, nor could he detect any other meaning. But what these words sounded like to Xin Yu's ears was the same to Lu Yihan's ears.
He reached out and directly threw the chopsticks in his hand on the table with a loud smack. Lu Shiyun frowned and shouted in a low voice, "Yihan, what are you doing …"
"Do you know how to speak?"
Lu Yihan didn't even look at Lu Shiyun. His malicious eyes stared straight at Qin Fangang. He crossed his arms over his chest, kicked his long legs under the table, and leaned lazily against the back of the chair. His whole person exuded a fierce aura. "Your words just now made me very unhappy, do you know that?"
"…"
Xin Yu felt a throbbing pain in the back of her head. What she didn't want to see or hear the most was probably Qin Fangang and Lu Yihan — a situation where they were at daggers drawn.
Of course, the most important thing was that the target of their tit-for-tat confrontation was still her.
"I don't know how to speak?"
Qin Fangang raised his eyebrows. Compared to Lu Yihan's sharp appearance, he appeared more reserved. His long fingers tapped the wall of the cup, and the corners of his mouth curved into an ambiguous smile. "I'm just speaking the truth. Of course, if you don't like to hear it, then it's not my responsibility."
"Qin Fangang, you —"
"Yihan, that's enough!"
Lu Shiyun saw that the meal hadn't even started and was about to become a battle between the two brothers. He had a splitting headache. He reached out and slammed the table heavily. His angry gaze met Lu Yihan's. "Do you have any sense of propriety? What did Fan Gang say wrong? Don't you have any gratitude for helping you take care of Xin Yu? You only know how to nitpick all day long! What about your own project? Don't think that I don't know anything. The project that Fan Gang asked you to do before, what have you done to it? "
"…"
Li Muhua was indignant. She was already full of anger. When she heard that her husband only knew how to criticize his son, she also slammed the table. "Lu Shiyun, why do you only know how to criticize Yihan? Isn't he your son? You want to protect your eldest son, but you can't look down on your youngest son like this! The moment he came back, you let him sit in the CEO's seat and suppress Yihan. Who knows if he purposely stopped Yihan in the middle of the project? Why don't you investigate it yourself? You only know how to attack Yihan's confidence. "
Li Muhua's words made Lu Shiyun so angry that the veins on his forehead were throbbing. "Shut up. What nonsense are you spouting when you don't know anything?"
"You …"
"Aiya, can you guys stop arguing?"
Lu Yiting, who hadn't said a word since the beginning, also threw her chopsticks on the table. She looked around the dining table in annoyance. Finally, her gaze fell on Xin Yu's face. Her repulsion was even stronger. "Dad, you usually like to protect Leng Xinyu. Every time you protect her, there's no peace in the house. It's the same now. Did you call us back for this? Bickering, bickering. Anyway, eating is just bickering. What's there to eat? "
She couldn't understand. In the past, Leng Xinyu didn't have any status in the Lu family. Her brother wouldn't even look at her. Now, Qin Fangang and Lu Yihan were actually arguing over Leng Xinyu. Why was that?
What was so good about Leng Xinyu?
Did Sister Lan Ruoran know that her brother was looking so jealous now? What did he mean?
"I'm sorry."
Xin Yu really couldn't sit still. Everything had happened because of her. She couldn't stand this kind of atmosphere. Finally, she stood up and said to Lu Shiyun, "Dad, I'm full. You guys take your time. I'll go upstairs first."
"Xin Yu …"
Lu Shiyun called her from behind. This time, Xin Yu didn't want to stay a single step. She quickly walked out of the dining room. The oppressive atmosphere suddenly dissipated. Xin Yu walked to the top of the stairs and let out a sigh of relief.
When Lu Yiting saw that Xin Yu had left, he stood up with both hands in his trouser pockets. Nonchalantly, he stretched his leg out and kicked the dining table. He sneered, "I'm also full. Upstairs. Keep. Old. Woman."
The last three words were clearly meant for Qin Fangang to hear. However, the man sitting across from him had a calm expression on his face from beginning to end. The corners of his eyes and the tips of his brows didn't show any signs of emotion.
"Brother, wait a minute," Lu Yihan had just walked to the dining room door when Lu Yiting stood up and called out to him.
Lu Yihan stopped in his tracks and turned to the side. He didn't say a word and waited for Lu Yiting to continue.
Lu Yihan's gaze landed on Qin Fangang, who was standing beside her. Her heart couldn't help but beat wildly again. Finally, she looked at Lu Shiyun and said in all seriousness, "Dad, since everyone's here, I have something to say."
"What is it?" Lu Shiyun nodded.
Lu Yiting's gaze landed on Qin Fangang again. "… Actually, I've been so lazy these past few years. I don't think there's any meaning to it. Now, I want to work at the Lu Clan. Dad, I want to follow Qin Fan … I want to learn from Older Brother Xie. Is that okay?"
"…"
Li Muhua's hand that was holding the chopsticks loosened. The two chopsticks instantly fell on the table with a clatter. She simply couldn't believe her ears. She stood up, flabbergasted. "Yiting …"
Lu Shiyun was probably a little surprised as well. But what his daughter said was very much to his liking, so he naturally wouldn't object. But he still asked Qin Fangang, "Yiting wants to learn from you. Fan Gang, what do you think?"
Qin Fangang finally met Lu Yihan's gaze. His long, narrow eyes were deep like an ancient well. When one looked into them, they couldn't help but want to drown and be unable to extricate themselves.
Lu Yiting's heart trembled violently. She had never experienced this kind of excitement before. She was so excited that she couldn't control herself. Her exquisitely made-up face couldn't help but blush.
She looked at the handsome face in front of her. Under the chandelier overhead, those exquisite features were so mesmerizing that even her heart couldn't calm down.
Qin Fangang merely twitched the corner of his mouth and stood up as well. The difference in height quickly made him look down on the woman in front of him. His voice was cold and hard, but it didn't carry any emotion. "If you want to enter the Lu Clan, you can go through the human resources department. As for me, I don't have any space for you."
"…"
The man's tall and straight figure walked past Lu Yihan and directly out of the dining room.
What he left behind in the room was — cold and distant.
Lu Yiting probably didn't expect him to reject her so directly. She felt as if she was suddenly pushed into hell in the midst of extreme excitement, agitation, and intense anticipation. The expression on her face was colorful, but all of them were filled with heartbreak and indignation.
Li Muhua looked at her daughter with a complicated gaze. Her two delicately trimmed eyebrows were slightly knitted.
She had personally seen her daughter's expression change from the initial anticipation to the current disappointment. How could she not understand her own daughter's temperament?
…
A terrifying thought suddenly appeared in her mind. Li Muhua's hand trembled, and the bone plate next to her fell to the ground with a bang and shattered.
A servant hurriedly came up to clean up and asked with concern, "Madam, are you alright?"
"…"
Li Muhua's expression was extremely ugly. She didn't say a word.
Lu Shiyun frowned and looked at his wife. Li Muhua probably noticed Lu Shiyun's gaze. She quickly calmed herself down and instinctively lowered her eyes.
Lu Shiyun didn't think much of it. In any case, he was already used to her being flustered. However, his daughter was like a block of wood, standing there motionlessly. He just thought that the princess who had been doted on since she was young was suddenly rejected like this. He looked apologetic. After muttering to himself for a moment, he comforted her, "… Alright, how about this. Fan Gang, he … It's a good thing that you want to go to the company. Dad agrees. You can go with Yihan tomorrow. No matter what, you're closer to Yihan. Let your brother take care of you."
He then glanced at Lu Yihan, who was standing at the entrance of the dining room. "It's settled then. Yihan, bring your sister to work tomorrow. I'll talk to the human resources department. It's not a big problem for you to take care of your sister. You two siblings should work hard together and produce some results for me to see."
Lu Yihan didn't reject his sister. All these years, she was a rich missy. It wasn't good for her to be lazy. Since she wanted to go to work with him, he didn't have any objections. He nodded in agreement.
…
There was no difference between eating and not eating a meal.
However, Lu Shiyun was in a good mood. For the past five years, Lu Yihan had been in a cold war with him because of Leng Xinyu. Now that he was slowly leaning toward Xin Yu, everything would slowly get better.
This wasn't the first time he felt that all the decisions he made were the best!
…
Xin Yu went upstairs and stood at the door of the master bedroom. Her hand was still on the doorknob, but she didn't open the door for a long time.
It had been a long time since she came back to the Lu family. Was she going to sleep here tonight? Lu Shiyun was here too. She definitely couldn't leave. What excuse could she use to leave?
But if she stayed here, Lu Yihan …
The back of her head hurt. She really didn't think that she would one day stand in such a dilemma. Should she think of a way to stay in the same room with Lu Yihan for one night? She didn't even dare to think of such a scene. Plus, the last time he wanted to do those things to her in this room, she still had lingering fears.
With that thought, she couldn't wait to take out her phone and turn it on.
