Chapter 37: The Past

Ji Xingchen: "..."

Everyone's eyes suddenly became strange, especially that of Mr. Huanyu, whose whole face was gloomy.

Lu Yanbei played with the cup, with a half-smile on his lips, and his sharp eyes covered by his lenses.

Ji Xingchen's expression was visibly panicked: "Young man, you can eat as much as you want, but don't talk carelessly!"

The young man said eagerly: "Sister Xingchen, think about it carefully."

Ji Xingchen recalled his life of more than twenty years in just a few seconds, and finally saw a hint of the childishness in that ghostly face.

She asked uncertainly: "Lu Lu?"

Lu Lu smiled: "It's me, Sister Xingchen, I thought you forgot about me!"

Ji Xingchen opened his mouth to explain: "My friend's hotel was opening, and I just took you to his place to have a meal. We didn't do anything, so don't talk nonsense."

The reason why Lu Lu was attracted by Ji Xingchen at that time was because he looked very pure, good-looking and well-behaved.

It’s hard to imagine that a person can change so much in just a few months.

Ji Xingchen glanced at Lu Yanbei subconsciously. Seeing that the other person seemed indifferent, she suddenly felt that her explanation just now was a bit redundant.

Lu Lu moved a chair familiarly and sat down next to Ji Xingchen. He poured her tea and served vegetables diligently to make Ji Xingchen happy.

Ji Xingchen only felt embarrassed, but she couldn't refuse because there were so many people. After all, although the child was crooked, he used to be quite well-behaved.

Lu Yanbei calmly exchanged cups with Fu Jinbai, as if what happened here had nothing to do with him.

Fu Jinbai raised his eyebrows, glanced deeply at Lu Yanbei, and said in a cold voice with a hint of ridicule: "I heard that Mrs. Lu has opened a new entertainment company. In my opinion, Mr. Chen might as well let Xiaolu sign her place."

Before Mr. Chen spoke, Lu Lu happily said: "Mr. Chen, I want to sign with Sister Xingchen, is that okay?"

Mr. Chen likes Lu Lu very much. He is young, good-looking and interesting, so he usually meets Lu Lu's requests, but this Ji Xingchen obviously seems to have an unusual relationship with Lu Lu.

Mr. Chen said with a smile on his face: "Xiaolu, I think it's better to sign with Mr. Fu's company. Mrs. Lu has so many things to do, she probably doesn't have time to play with you in the entertainment industry."

Ji Xingchen: "Yes, Lu Lu, my company is just for fun and not suitable for you."

Lu Lu didn't care, and said innocently, "It's okay, as long as I can be with Sister Xingchen."

Ji Xingchen thought of his company that could go bankrupt at any time. It didn't seem to make any difference if he signed one more or one less, "Okay then, you can... tomorrow..."

There was a "bang" sound.

The sound of a wine glass hitting the table.

The backs of Lu Yanbei's slender and shapely hands were stained by some spilled wine.

He took out a tissue and wiped it slowly, "Sorry, my hand is not very steady."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Why are you still standing there, pouring wine for Mr. Lu!"

The waiter next to him quickly bent down to pour the wine.

Lu Yanbei's peach blossom eyes glanced at Lu Lu lightly, "General Manager Fu's operation is mature, you can sign with him."

Lu Lu wanted to refuse, but he didn't dare. He was frightened.

Finally reluctantly agreed.

Lu Yanbei stood up and said with a faint smile: "Everyone, I have something to deal with at home. Please take your time."

When Ji Xingchen saw him leaving, he could only follow him.

Lu Yanbei is tall and has long legs. Ji Xingchen trotted to catch up, "Why are you walking so fast? Are you reincarnated?"

Before he finished speaking, an excited call came from behind him.

"Sister Xingchen!"

Lu Yanbei paused and glanced sideways at her.

Ji Xingchen's back stiffened and his scalp suddenly felt numb.

She slowly turned around and saw Gu Yao, Qi Yue, and another little star whom she had bumped into Lu Yanbei when they went to a hotel not long ago, and became a hot topic.

He was the one who opened the mic with enthusiasm just now.

Gu Yao and Qi Yue were also a little shocked.

Gu Yao said with a big mouth: "Xingchen, why are you here? You can't bear to let this handsome guy like us hang out, so you came here secretly."

Qi Yue pulled Gu Yao and signaled her to stop talking.

But Gu Yao couldn't understand, "Why are you pulling me?"

Ji Xingchen coughed dryly: "I'll accompany my husband to the wine party."

Gu Yao suddenly realized that there was someone behind her, "Mr. Lu is also there? What a coincidence."

Lu Yanbei turned around slowly, "It's quite a coincidence, Miss Gu."

Ji Xingchen changed the subject: "Where is Zhou Minglang?"

"He heard that you weren't coming, so he wasn't coming either," Qi Yue explained.

"Sister Xingchen, do you only have Zhou Minglang in your eyes?" Lin Rong blinked and looked at Ji Xingchen aggrievedly.

Ji Xingchen smiled: "How could that be?"

Lin Rong showed two rows of big white teeth: "Sister Xingchen, are you free tomorrow? I want to treat you to a meal. Thanks to your help in the previous matter, I never had a chance to thank you."

Ji Xingchen: "No need?"

Lu Yanbei chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "We are so kindly invited, but it's not appropriate for Miss Ji to refute my young lover's face like this."

Ji Xingchen frowned and said displeased: "What do you mean?"

Lu Yanbei smiled: "Literally."

Lin Rong felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he explained: "Mr. Lu, don't think too much. I had a contract dispute with the company before, and Sister Xingchen helped me, so I want to treat her to dinner and thank her in person."

Lu Yanbei's peach blossom eyes were raised, and the corners of his lips were raised casually, "What is the relationship between you two--"

He sneered: "What does it have to do with me."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Qi Yue looked at Lu Yanbei's back. Many times, she felt that Lu Yanbei's attitude toward Ji Xingchen was strange.

Lu Yanbei is so charming and elegant outside, as if he has never cared about this wife at home.

But he doted on her and spoiled her. Others didn't know about Ji Xingchen's arrogant temper, but Qi Yue knew that it was all caused by Lu Yanbei's spoiling.

She remembered that in high school, Ji Xingchen was blocked in an alley by some gangsters from the vocational high school next door because he was too beautiful. Fortunately, Lu Chen and she saw him when they passed by, and nothing happened to Ji Xingchen.

But the next day, Qi Yue witnessed Lu Yanbei single-handedly fighting with those gangsters in the same dead-end alley.

Qi Yue didn't know how to describe Lu Yanbei at that time. She only remembered that the boy was ruthless and bruised, but his attacks were ruthless and cruel, as if he didn't want his life.

After that day, Lu Yanbei took a leave of absence from school for more than a month.

Qi Yue did not dare to mention this matter to Ji Xingchen, because she was afraid that Ji Xingchen would fall into deep trouble.

Because Lu Yanbei is too ruthless, polite and courteous on the surface, but he is too violent in his heart. How can a person who is ruthless and doesn't care about his own life be a good match for Ji Xingchen?

When he put the knife on the person's neck, his eyes were as cold as ice, but the corner of his mouth was smiling.

From that moment on, Qi Yue only had one impression of Lu Yanbei: infiltrating people and terrifying.
