Lu Li kept glancing at Jin Han from time to time. It was so obvious that Jin Han, who was already on guard, looked at him with a frown. Lu Li didn't look away. He looked at Jin Han, smiled and sat down next to him. "Want to talk?"
Wen Ning looked at Lu Li in surprise. Lu Li wasn't the kind of person who would take the initiative to talk to strangers. Li Manyan was also surprised, but didn't say anything. She just smiled at Wen Ning's gaze.
Wen Ning also smiled politely back at Li Manyan, withdrew her gaze and took a sip of wine.
Jin Han and Lu Li went to the balcony outside the private room and sat there. Lu Li was holding a glass of wine in his hand. He put his hands on the railing, took a sip and looked at Jin Han who was silent with a dark face. "I felt you looked familiar from the moment I got on the plane."
Jin Han frowned, straightened up and took a look at Lu Li. Lu Li was a few years older than Qiao Liang and the others. He was already 33 years old, while Jin Han had just graduated from college and was only 23 years old. It was a bit inappropriate to say that they were friends, but this man kept saying that they seemed to have met before.
Jin Han frowned. "I've never known anyone whose surname is Lu, let alone someone as famous as you, Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu, you may have mistaken me for someone else."
Lu Li smiled and nodded. "That's possible, but what if I tell you that my surname wasn't Lu before, but that I became estranged from my family after I left home?"
"What do you mean?" Jin Han looked at Lu Li and frowned. "I don't understand."
Lu Li smiled and shook his head. "Never mind, but may I ask, Mr. Jin Han, are you a child of the Jin Family in the eastern district?"
Jin Han's face darkened and he squinted at Lu Li. Lu Li raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Judging from Mr. Jin's reaction, I guess I'm right. However, I didn't expect that a family like the Jin Family would allow their children to go to school and even allow them to date children outside. It's really surprising."
Dongcheng was a city in the eastern part of Country Z. The Jin family there was the overlord of Dongcheng. The Jin family had a family rule, which was that they would never allow their bloodline to flow out of the family. Therefore, the children of the Jin family could only move around in Dongcheng at most. Their education also had to be taught by special tutors of the Jin family. They were not allowed to marry children who were not from the Jin family. The young master of the Jin family could marry a girl from a branch of the Jin family or a woman from Dongcheng, but they were not allowed to marry children from other places.
Although no one could understand or explain it, this was the Jin Clan's rule. If anyone violated it, they would be chased out of the Jin Clan.
Jin Han squinted at Lu Li and said, "Mr. Lu, you seem to know a lot about our Jin Family."
Lu Li didn't expect that Jin Han would admit it so easily. He smiled and said, "Of course, I know all the wonderful families in the world very well." Then the smile on his face disappeared. He squinted at Jin Han and then turned to look at Li Manyan who was sitting inside. "But Mr. Jin, have you ever thought about what a disaster it would bring to the girl if the Jin Family knew that you dated an ordinary woman from the outside world?"
Jin Han frowned tightly. Lu Li tilted his head and smiled. "Of course, if you have a child, they may let the girl marry you, but … I guess if the child is about 10 years old, the girl who gave birth to the child will die, right?" Lu Li paused, drank up the wine in the glass and turned to look at Jin Han. "Just like Third Master Jin's wife and son."
"How do you know this?" This incident was practically a secret within the clan. Apart from the people within the clan who knew about it, all the servants who knew about it, including the driver, had been eradicated by the Elders. The Clan Head had even issued a gag order, and no one was to mention this incident again. Third Uncle was not allowed to mention a single word about it. Third Uncle had always thought that the car accident was an accident, but he had inadvertently heard the conversation between the Elders …
Fortunately, he was only a child of three or four years old at that time, so they didn't think he would understand it and didn't do anything to him …
After that incident, the brother who liked to take him out to play and the aunt who liked to make cakes for him never showed up again. They all said that they were dead.
This was a secret. Apart from those in the family, only the patriarchs knew about it. Very few people knew about it. How did Lu Li know about it?
Lu Li saw Jin Han's expression suddenly change. He squinted at Jin Han and said, "And you shouldn't be called Jin Han, right? If I'm not wrong, you should be Jin Qing, the only son of Fifth Master Jin."
Jin Han clenched his hands. He didn't expect that his identity would be seen through so easily by Lu Li. "How did you know?"
Lu Li smiled slightly. He loosened his grip on the glass and raised his eyebrows. "It's actually very easy to find out about this matter, but … Mr. Jin, don't worry. I'm not telling you this to threaten you or to restrain you. I just want to give you a piece of advice. If you aren't sure that you can make that lady happy, don't mess with her. Everything in the Jin Family is not something that a little girl like her can bear."
After a pause, he added, "But everything in the Jin Family should be reformed. If Mr. Jin has the perseverance, I think I should be happy to help you."
"Who the hell are you?" Jin Han squinted at Lu Li. His eyes were full of vigilance. He didn't like this feeling. He had always been the smartest person in the family and could even see through other people's minds at a glance. However, he couldn't understand Lu Li at all. He had even looked up Lu Li's information that day, but there was very little information about him. Lu Li seemed to know him very well and even everything about the Jin Family, so he had to be extra vigilant against this man named Lu Li.
Lu Li looked at Jin Han and shook his head with a smile. "Ah, it's really a sense of achievement to make the Jin Family look at me like this, but … I don't want to see you look like this." He paused and then continued, "As for who I am, don't you know better than anyone else? I'm Lu Li. They all like to call me Seventh Young Master. Of course, it's not because I'm the seventh son, but because the number seven is very auspicious to me. "
