Chapter 156 – Compared to Meng Yan, this Lu guy had just become much more pleasing! (2)
Lu Xun, on the other hand, only paused for a quick second before he said, “I have been so focused on work that I didn’t have much time to date…”
“That spiel only works on little girls,” said Ms. Lin Ping as she pursed her lips.
This old lady was so difficult to please!
Lu Xun was just about to keep talking when Lu Mingzhe, sitting next to him, suddenly chimed in, “That’s because he had me as a burden. It’s a turn off to many women.”
Lu Xun, “……”
Ms. Lin Ping, “……:
Even Mr. Gu Chengyi looked up at the young man.
Lu Mingzhe had on a nonchalant look, as though he wasn’t affected by much going on around him.
Yet, the more nonchalant he seemed, the more he managed to touch others’ hearts.
Ms. Lin Ping had always liked this boy who was about the same age as Little Yuran. She knew about his history and had a soft spot for him.
And now, hearing his words, she couldn’t help but wonder how much difficulties he had suffered before he could refer to himself as a “burden” oh so nonchalantly.
And then, that subject was over.
“By the way, I heard from our Lao Gu that your entertainment company was left by your brother, not your own?”
That was about Ms. Lin Ping’s biggest gripe of all.
A man should have his own career by the time he was 30. This Lu guy still didn’t have his own career. When he turned the company over in the future, would her daughter need to support him?
Actually, many people knew about this.
And he had told Lin Yiyi too…
And she found that resentful!
Lu Xun had no intention of keeping that a secret. He nodded and replied honestly, “Shengshi Entertainment was left to us by my father and it was agreed that it would go to my older brother. I am temporarily taking care of it right now and will be turning it back over to Zhe later on so he can succeed his father.”
If what he said was true, he was still a pretty decent man… but a man without a career nonetheless!
Ms. Lin Ping pursed her lips. Right when she was about to start talking again, Lu Mingzhe interjected forcefully once again, “My uncle spent all his time and effort on Shengshi Entertainment and didn’t have time to take care of his own investment company. He didn’t even have time to celebrate his own company’s IPO a while back.”
Lu Xun, “……”
Ms. Lin Ping, “……”
This time, even Ms. Lin Ping was speechless.
Lin Yiyi happened to return at this time and looked a little unhappy.
“Who called?” asked Ms. Lin Ping casually.
She merely asked out of habit and hadn’t expected that her daughter would answer with name that she wanted to hear the least, “Meng Yan.”
“What did he want?”
That jerk. She didn’t want to hear his name at all!
He called right now mainly to apologize for Zhang Xiying. He wanted to clarify where he stood and that he felt that this whole incident didn’t have much to do with Zhang Xiying and that she was being used by others at best.
The other purpose of his call was to express that he trusted that Lin Yiyi had nothing to do with Zhang Xiying being switched out and said a few kind words in an official capacity.
All these messy things put Lin Yiyi in a bad mood.
She waved her hand and didn’t want to elaborate on the subject. “By the way, what did you talk about while I was gone?”
Ms. Lin Ping paused for a second and gave Lu Xun a look.
Compared to Meng Yan, this Lu guy had just become much more pleasing!
“I was just saying how young and accomplished Mr. Lu is and is a great choice for a son-in-law…”
All sorts of praises came rolling out of Ms. Lin Ping’s mouth effortlessly. “Aiya, there are very few young men nowadays with such intact integrity, good personality, and achievements. Most importantly, he is good looking too! So pleasing to the eyes…”
Lu Xun, “……”
All the others, “……”
Lin Yiyi’s lips twitched.
Yeah right! It wasn’t like she was born yesterday!
