CHAPTER 800: CHAPTER 798: GIVE THE PLAY A TRY

Liang Lan went to start the investigation.

Lu Xiaobu said to Lu father and Lu Hongbin, "Dad, Big Brother, there’s no need to hold me down anymore, I won’t act impulsively now!"

"Good!"

Both men nodded and released Lu Xiaobu.

They knew what Lu Xiaobu meant.

If there really was someone behind this incident, then it’s no longer a problem to be solved by acting rashly!

Besides, you all know, a calm Lu Xiaobu is much more terrifying than an impulsive one, by a million times!

Yet Shen Wen didn’t know that her every word and action with Lu Wenhao were being watched by the Lu family.

She was still shocked by the mention of fifteen tickets from Lu Wenhao: "Fifteen?! Xiaobu is going too?!"

"Yes, not just Xiaobu, my whole family will go! Including you, that makes fourteen, leaving one extra!" Lu Wenhao proudly said.

"One extra?!"

Shen Wen’s mind suddenly became active: "Wenhao, can I have the extra one?! I have a friend who really wants to go too!"

"That’s not very appropriate!"

Lu Wenhao frowned slightly and hesitated.

Those tickets belonged to Xiaobu, and even though they were siblings and it wouldn’t be a big deal, it still wasn’t right to take them.

Hearing Lu Wenhao’s words, look at Shen Wen’s face.

It darkened in an instant!

"If you won’t give it, then forget it, I’m leaving!"

Shen Wen said and then grabbed her bag, ready to leave.

Now, Lu Wenhao became anxious.

"Don’t be angry, I’ll give it to you!"

Lu Wenhao didn’t care about the other things, promptly agreeing.

Oh, instantly the clouds cleared and the sun shone through!

"I knew you were the best!"

Shen Wen sat back down and sweetly smiled!

This smile might be sweet in Lu Wenhao’s eyes, yet to the Lu family, it was downright disgusting!

Girls who are gold-diggers, they wouldn’t despise that.

Even if a real prodigal woman came, what about it?!

The Lu family could afford it!

After all, could she outspend Xiaobu?!

What really made them uncomfortable and annoyed was Shen Wen’s attitude towards Lu Wenhao!

Cold, exploitative, full of self-interest!

They didn’t care about prodigality, but they couldn’t tolerate such lowliness!

Lin Shu and Liang Lan’s faces were also filled with anger and disdain: "Pah, such a green tea bitch!"

Lu Wenhao and Shen Wen were still chatting!

But, the topics they were chatting about seemed a bit off!

What do normal couples talk about?!

Of course, dreams about future life, understanding each other, discussing hobbies, current affairs, and so on!

However, here, Shen Wen kept sidetracking, trying to find out about the Lu family’s situation.

Especially digging for information on Xiaobu!

What does Xiaobu like to eat?

What kind of girls does Xiaobu like?

And so on!

Looking at her, she seemed far more interested in Xiaobu than in Wenhao!

And as she chatted, she was also sending something on her phone!

The two of them seemed to be enjoying their conversation quite happily.

But the Lu family members were sitting beside, their faces gloomy!

As Lu Wenhao was continuously chatting with Shen Wen, they didn’t find a chance to leave, so they had to keep listening.

Until it was almost time to enter the venue for the Spring Festival Gala.

Only then did the two of them reluctantly end their chat and leave the café.

And after they finished talking about Xiaobu, the atmosphere between the two once again became awkward.

Shen Wen was on the phone, probably notifying that so-called friend of hers!

It wasn’t until the two of them had walked far away that Lu Xiaobu and his group finally walked out of the café.

"All right, let’s just pretend nothing happened."

Lu father took a deep breath and said, "To prevent embarrassing Wenhao."

"Good!"

Lu Hongbin and Lu Xiaobu both let out a sigh of relief, forcing themselves to calm down!

"Sister Lan, have you gotten any results from the investigation?"

Lu Xiaobu turned his head and asked.

"It’s still under investigation; after all, we only have a name, and it’s the holidays, so it’s not easy to conduct an inquiry," replied Liang Lan with a stern face.

"Alright, no hurry, just let me know after the Spring Festival Gala is over."

Lu Xiaobu narrowed his eyes and nodded.

"Yes, Young Master."

Liang Lan accepted the command.

...

After taking a stroll outside, Lu Xiaobu and his party finally went to meet Lu Wenhuo.

"Dad, big brother, Xiaobu, I called you guys just now, why didn’t anyone answer?"

Lu Wenhuo said to Lu Hongbin and the others.

"Oh, it was too chaotic just now, we didn’t notice."

Lu Hongbin explained with a smile.

With his experience hustling in the business world, smiling at this moment posed no issue.

"Oh." Lu Wenhuo didn’t think much of it and then introduced Shen Wen, who was beside him: "This is Shen Wen."

At this moment, there was a touch of shyness on his face.

After all, it kind of felt like meeting the parents.

But he was the one feeling shy!

Shen Wen, on the other hand, was not shy at all!

Suddenly, she hugged Lu Wenhuo’s arm and showed a very intimate appearance: "Hello, everyone."

Lu Wenfu’s face turned immediately red from the hug, nearly melting from happiness!

Such joy came so unexpectedly!

What does this mean?!

Hugging him in front of his family!

Does this mean things are set in stone now?!

Because of this hug!

He even started imagining a wedding scene in his head, and even began fantasizing about what to name their future children!

It must be said, men in this stage really do let their thoughts run wild!

He even looked at Lu Hongbin and Lu Xiaobu with a smug smile—Heh heh heh, you guys mocked me, but look, I’ve got someone too!

However, Lu Xiaobu and Lu Hongbin did not give him the response he wanted.

They simply nodded indifferently.

This reaction left Lu Wenhuo feeling somewhat uneasy.

What’s the meaning of this?

I’ve found someone, and you’re not happy for me?!

What he didn’t know was that Lu Hongbin and Lu Xiaobu were already trying very hard to remain calm and not beat up this pretentious woman!

Damn it, you’re really bullying Wenhuo to death!

Back at the café, even speaking was a struggle!

What, now that you see us, you’re hugging directly?!

Do you think all of the Lu family are fools?!

Honestly, even Lin Feng isn’t as shrewd as you!

Seeing the expressions on Lu Xiaobu and the others, a sudden pang hit Shen Wen’s heart.

What’s going on here?!

Something about this expression isn’t right!

Could it be they know something?!

That shouldn’t be right!

We’re meeting for the first time, aren’t we?!

As for Lu Wenhuo mentioning it to them?!

That’s even less likely, with Lu Wenhuo being such a dunce, if it weren’t for the Spring Festival Gala affair, he probably wouldn’t have said a thing!

Might it be that Lu Xiaobu and the others came across something upsetting just now?!

Yes, that’s probably it!

Thinking this, Shen Wen breathed a sigh of relief and once again showed her ’sweet’ smile, growing even more affectionate with Lu Wenhuo.

Lu Xiaobu watched this scene and sneered.

Fine, keep it up!

Although I haven’t completely investigated your background, if I let you get away with this, then I wouldn’t deserve the name Lu!

You want to act, right?!

Well, perfect, let me, this director, give you a taste of your own acting!!!
