Ch 43: Wen Li knows Fifth Master Lu? Wen Li: Not familiar; Lu Xixiao: We’ll become familiar after a couple of meetings.
The guests in the hall looked at Lu Xixiao, who suddenly appeared, feeling incredible, surprised and excited.
Their eyes subconsciously became flattering towards Lu Xixiao.
You see, among the people present, except for several political bigwigs and the Song Family, few had ever had such close contact with Lu Xixiao. Those who had the good fortune to cooperate with the Lu Family were far from being able to negotiate with Lu Xixiao himself.
This is Lu Wuye, who makes the military, political, and business circles change color, no exaggeration, one sentence can decide your life or death.
How did Wen Baixiang manage to invite him?
Unbeknownst to them, the Wen family was even more surprised and delighted.
Wen Baixiang had naturally sent invitations to the Lu Family, but he never expected that any of the Lu brothers would attend.
Let alone the current person in power of the Lu Family, Lu Xixiao.
Wen Ming had a friendship with a junior member of the Lu Family. Wen Baixiang originally wanted to use this junior member of the Lu Family to boost Wen Ming’s status, but the junior member had a sudden matter and was absent.
Wen Baixiang regretted this, but unexpectedly, Lu Xixiao came.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Lu Xixiao, and no one continued to pay attention to the Wen family’s elite family drama.
Wen Baixiang steadied himself: “…Fifth Master Lu?”
He immediately stepped forward: “Chairman Lu, I didn’t expect you to come, I’m sorry for the poor welcome, I hope you’ll forgive me.”
Seemingly neither humble nor arrogant, but the flattering tone revealed his inner thoughts?
Wen Baixiang was not overwhelmed by this surprise, but instead had another worry—if Wen Li continued to make a fuss, not only would Lu Xixiao see the joke, but if he displeased Lu Xixiao, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He had to quickly find a way to get Wen Li away from the banquet.
While Wen Baixiang was pondering, he had already arrived in front of Lu Xixiao, but the latter did not stop, and simply walked past him.
Wen Baixiang’s outstretched hand hung in mid-air, and he turned to look.
He couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
Others were equally puzzled by Lu Xixiao’s ignoring of the host—wasn’t he here for the banquet?
Lin Yun and her daughter, seeing Lu Xixiao approaching, were frightened by his powerful aura and unconsciously made way.
Wen Ming was one of the calm ones.
Seeing this, everyone guessed that he might have come for Wen Ming.
Or to find Old Master Song.
However, to everyone’s surprise, Lu Xixiao finally stopped in front of Wen Li, his gaze fixed on Wen Li’s face.
“Wen, Wen Li? What’s going on?” The guests were baffled.
And Wen Li’s subsequent attitude towards Lu Xixiao was even more shocking.
Wen Li said sarcastically, “Mr. Lu, you’re a rare guest.”
She glanced at the tall and leggy man in front of her. She had already spotted Lu Xixiao watching the fun from the crowd.
Lu Xixiao heard the unwelcome tone in Wen Li’s voice.
Not only him, but the guests also heard it.
“Doesn’t she know who this person is? She’s actually talking to Fifth Master Lu in this tone, doesn’t she want to live anymore?”
“With her crazy energy, she might really die later.”
“The Wen family is ruined by her.”
“Fifth Master Lu must have seen her inhumane act and couldn’t bear to watch, so he came to eliminate the harm for the Wen family, right?”
Wen Baixiang was so frightened by Wen Li’s tone that his heart skipped a beat, and he broke out in a cold sweat, hurrying back to stop Wen Li.
But he heard Lu Xixiao say to Wen Li in a calm tone, “Passing by, came in to say hello to Miss Wen.”
As soon as Lu Xixiao spoke, the whole hall was shocked.
“What’s going on? Wen Li and Fifth Master Lu know each other?”
“What’s going on? Fifth Master Lu is here for her?”
For the guests, the shock of this scene was no less than Wen Li’s smashing someone’s kneecap with a golf club.
They vaguely remembered that Lu Xixiao seemed to have called out “Miss Wen” when he appeared?
The moment Wen Yan saw Lu Xixiao, her eyes could no longer be moved, and now she was simply dumbfounded.
She looked at Lu Xixiao and Wen Li in disbelief, her two hands tightly clutching her skirt, trying to control her emotions.
Lin Yun secretly gasped, her features contorting: How could this dead girl know Fifth Master Lu?!
“Wen Li, do you two know each other?” Song Zhixian felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart, and he softly asked Wen Li.
Lu Xixiao glanced at Song Zhixian indifferently, his deep eyes filled with coldness, never really looking at people.
He didn’t really take Song Zhixian seriously.
He then greeted Song Baiyan beside him: “Long time no see, how are you, sir?”
Song Baiyan muttered, “I think I might not be doing too well.”
He had a faint feeling that his dream of having a granddaughter-in-law was about to be shattered.
“You and Wen… know each other?” Song Baiyan was not giving up.
Lu Xixiao nodded slightly, then looked back at Wen Li: “Of course.”
Wen Li unceremoniously said, “Not really.”
This one sentence raised Wen Baixiang’s heart again, but he dared not speak to stop her, afraid of interrupting Lu Xixiao.
Song Zhixian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Wen Li’s attitude towards Lu Xixiao also eased his tense heart.
Lu Xixiao said, “First time’s a charm, second time’s familiar, not to mention we’ve met more than twice.”
A group of guests stood there dumbfounded, watching the two of them exchange words.
Wen Li: “I’m busy.”
Subtext: If you have nothing to do, just leave.
Wen Li really didn’t want to see this guy who blew her up with a grenade. Every time she thought that not only did she not get revenge, but she also had to drag her injured body to save this guy, she felt suffocated.
Lu Xixiao, understanding her meaning, not only didn’t leave, but also meddled in other people’s business. He glanced at A Jing on the ground.
“Miss Wen is kind-hearted. In my Lu family, for someone like this who is insubordinate and doesn’t know when to die, breaking a leg is the lightest punishment.”
A casual tone, speaking harsh words, especially from the mouth of this living Yama, made people’s feet go cold.
Lu Qi, however, had a unique train of thought: kindred spirits? Where the hell did this CP feeling come from?
Lu Xixiao’s words were more like he was saying it to people other than Wen Li.
Among the guests, many secretly moved back a few steps, especially those who had cursed Wen Li the most fiercely.
For a moment, the crowd fell silent.
Lu Xixiao was clearly supporting Wen Li.
But the person involved didn’t seem to understand, instead sarcastically saying, “Mr. Lu has a strong competitive spirit.”
Lu Xixiao looked at her: “Hmm???”
He asked in confusion, his voice slightly raised and drawn out, his low voice magnetic and sexy, indescribably seductive.
He couldn’t help but reflect on whether his words sounded like he was trying to outdo her in cruelty?
Lu Qi secretly gave Wen Li a thumbs up: Top-level understanding.
Lu Xixiao remained silent for a moment, then said, “Miss Wen doesn’t need to waste time on these people, I think it’s more important to check on the dog’s condition now.”
Wen Li dropped the golf club and picked up Hei Junjiang at her feet.
She stroked Hei Junjiang’s soft belly, checking its condition. Hei Junjiang immediately yelped twice, then pitifully and accusingly stretched out its hind leg that had been stepped on.
Its bones were fine.
But it was uncertain whether A Jing’s kick had hit a vital point. It fell so far, there must be abrasions on its body.
“I’ll take you to the pet hospital to get it checked,” Lu Xixiao said.
Wen Li didn’t look up: “No need to bother.”
Lu Xixiao looked at her, then at the furry Black Coal Ball in her hands, his hand in his trouser pocket slightly bent at the joint.
A trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
After a brief hesitation, he decisively acted, and with lightning speed, he took Hei Junjiang from Wen Li’s hands.
And quickly said, “My car is parked outside, let’s go.”
As he turned around, he stuffed the dog into Lu Qi’s arms.
All the actions were completed at the same time.
“Woof—” Hei Junjiang was stunned.
Lu Qi was stunned, looking at Wen Li and then at Lu Xixiao.
After reacting, he hugged the dog and ran away.
