CHAPTER 116: CHAPTER 116: THE THREE LITTLE ONES HAVE ARRIVED

He suppressed the discomfort of being dominated in his heart and looked at Wang Yu with a gentle smile.

"Yu, you look so beautiful today. It’d be a shame not to take a few photos."

Wang Yu blushed upon hearing this.

She took out her phone.

Zhang Tianliu took a few photos with her, and then focused his gaze on Mr. Lu.

He was a bit surprised.

This big shot almost never attended parties and always remained quite mysterious. He had tried several times to connect with him by sending invitations, but never found the chance. Unexpectedly, he met him at President Wang’s house this time.

Mr. Lu was even younger than he had imagined. Such a young man had already become the president of Lu Group. As a fellow man, Zhang felt a hint of jealousy.

"Hello, Mr. Lu!"

Zhang Tianliu smiled and extended his hand for a handshake.

However, the other party did not even extend his hand, leaving Zhang feeling a bit awkward.

President Wang walked over with a smile and said, "Mr. Zhang, you might not yet understand Mr. Lu’s temperament, huh? He doesn’t like shaking hands with people, and he dislikes those superficial things. If you have any questions, just ask directly, no need to beat around the bush."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianliu was a bit stunned.

"Is... is that so?"

If that’s the case, he might indeed not be able to win over Mr. Lu.

But he didn’t believe that the man in front of him, as the master of the Lu Family, had no personal motives or secrets.

After all, in the world of capital, which boss doesn’t like flattery and secretly engage in questionable dealings?

He often just needed to cater to their preferences to get those bosses under his control.

He thought that Mr. Lu might just be putting on an act.

"Mr. Lu, do you have any hobbies?" Zhang Tianliu continued.

"No hobbies." Lu Yun.

Zhang Tianliu asked a few more questions politely and found that Mr. Lu was indeed very aloof, just like the rumors, hard to approach.

No one could play mind games with him.

Moreover, he sensed a slight impatience from him, as if he didn’t want to chat with him.

For the first time in his career, Zhang hit a wall, feeling a bit embarrassed.

His eyes roamed around, suddenly locking onto a familiar person.

Wasn’t that the married woman he’d seen on the street with three children?

The woman looked even more stunning than she did on the street, wearing a blue mermaid gown, captivating. His heart was slightly moved.

For a woman who had given birth to three children, her figure was still impressive.

His gaze was so intense that he failed to notice a cold gaze next to him glaring disapprovingly.

At this moment, Su Xingwan turned her head and saw Zhang Tianliu.

She frowned slightly.

Zhang Tianliu walked towards her with large strides.

"Miss Su, what a coincidence, we meet again," he said with a smile, greeting her proactively.

"Hmm." Su Xingwan responded indifferently.

"I didn’t expect Miss Su to be in the same circle as me."

Perhaps influenced by her attire, he attempted to get closer to her. Such a woman, even with three children, is undeniably captivating.

"Was Miss Su thinking of signing with a company earlier? If you’re interested, you’re welcome at my company."

As Zhang Tianliu said this, many gazes turned toward him.

Lu Yun suddenly walked over at this time.

"Miss Su, you are welcome to join one of my companies. The benefits and conditions at my company are better than any entertainment company’s."

As Lu Yun finished speaking, everyone at the party turned their attention to Su Xingwan.

Perhaps the woman herself didn’t realize, but they were well aware.

The entertainment company under Lu Group was the industry leader, and they had very few artists, each one being a top star. Signing with his company was akin to securing a ticket to future stardom.

Moreover, Lu Yun was a big shot in Beijing, with countless people eager to connect and collaborate with him.

What kind of incredible luck did this Su Xingwan have, as a yet-unknown newcomer, to be pursued by so many major companies for a contract?

Even Mr. Lu, who never got involved, bent over backward for her.

President Wang’s daughter, Wang Yu, also fixed her gaze on Su Xingwan.

Under everyone’s scrutinizing gazes, Su Xingwan just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Zhang Tianliu was slightly surprised to see their actions and instinctively asked, "Do you know each other?"

Su Xingwan quickly shook her head, "No, we don’t."

Then she lowered her head and texted him on her phone.

First, she sent a sorry emoticon.

[Sorry, Mr. Lu, your identity is too unique. We should pretend not to know each other.]

Being in this circle, if anyone knew she was acquainted with Lu Yun, she might be overwhelmed with resources the next day, becoming a staple on the trending searches.

To be fair, they didn’t really know each other well. When they did chat, it was usually because of the three little ones.

Moreover, she had always been a bit afraid of the cold-hearted uncle from the novel.

Although she seemed to have altered the plot, the uncle did not treat her as he did in the book, and he wasn’t as ruthless, cold, and heartless as depicted in the novel.

In fact, aside from his aloof demeanor, he was quite easy to get along with.

But that didn’t mean she could interact with him naturally; on the contrary, she still carried a little of that novel’s fear of him.

Lu Yun: ...

Could he say he didn’t want to pretend not to know her?

Zhang Tianliu sighed in relief upon hearing her words.

Good, they don’t know each other.

If they did...

He remembered how he deliberately exaggerated about Su Xingwan on social media before.

President Wang, seeing Miss Su pretending not to know Mr. Lu, noticed the slight change in Mr. Lu’s expression.

He thought to himself.

It seems these two really are in the middle of a cold war.

He quickly walked over with a smile, "Miss Su, do you remember me?"

Su Xingwan looked up. Wasn’t this the President Wang from Shuiyun Pavilion?

So it was his party, huh?

A rare occasion where she lied, and it got exposed so quickly.

"Yes, I remember clearly."

President Wang continued smiling, "It seems Miss Su still remembers me."

"Then you and Mr. Lu..." He wanted to say something to reconcile the two of them.

Su Xingwan became instinctively nervous.

Just then——

"Auntie!"

The three little ones suddenly appeared at the party.

Behind them was Ye Yixing.

Su Xingwan was surprised, "You... why are you here?"

The three little ones ran over, throwing themselves into her embrace.

"Auntie, aren’t you happy we’re here?"

"Happy, why wouldn’t Auntie be happy?" Su Xingwan smiled, stroking their heads.

It’s just that the situation was a bit complicated now.

Ye Yixing, ignoring the many eyes on him and the three little ones, laughed.

"How about it? Both of you are here enjoying yourselves and leaving the kids to me. Haha, didn’t expect me to come, did you?"

Su Xingwan: Indeed, she hadn’t expected it.

Especially after she just claimed not to know Mr. Lu.

Of all times, why now?

Is heaven punishing her for lying?

The three little ones obediently looked at Lu Yun, just about to say: "Little..."

When their little mouths were covered by Auntie.
