CHAPTER 150: CHAPTER 150: BANQUET TRENDING

Su Xingwan walked over, patted their heads, and smiled, "You guys are quite capable!"

Being praised by their aunt, they giggled with joy.

After that, they all had breakfast together, and Su Xingwan washed the dishes.

Lu Yun had to go to work at the company.

The three little ones clung to him reluctantly, blinking expectantly, "Uncle, will you come to our house to sleep again tonight?"

Su Xingwan quickly said, "Your uncle has work. He has a big house of his own. You guys don’t need to worry about that."

The two little ones were unhappy and looked up at their uncle.

"Then when will Uncle come to sleep at our place again?"

Lu Yun glanced at Su Xingwan.

Su Xingwan turned her head in another direction, then heard him say in her ear.

"You have to ask your aunt about that."

Su Xingwan paused, turning to see two pairs of expectant little eyes staring at her without blinking.

"Auntie, when can Uncle come to our house again to sleep?"

Su Xingwan: Why do I always get thrown these tricky questions!

She smiled and said, "Do you guys like Uncle visiting the house that much?"

"Of course, Auntie! Don’t you like it?"

Su Xingwan: "..."

"If Uncle sleeps at our place, we’ll like it even more!"

The two little ones exclaimed, clapping their hands excitedly.

Su Xingwan could see it.

All morning, the three little ones were completely focused on their uncle.

She recalled that initially, the three were a bit scared of their uncle and didn’t dare to get close to him. How quickly they’ve moved from being afraid to liking to cling to him.

Finally, she said, "Let’s see when your uncle is available."

In situations like last night’s, when it’s too late, she would usually let him stay, as a courtesy.

Lu Yun smiled, "Then next time when Uncle comes to see you, if it’s too late to go back, I’ll sleep over here, okay?"

Su Xingwan: "..."

The two little ones clapped their hands, cheering, "Alright!"

Su Xingwan was puzzled.

How come he’s like a different person from last night until today?

Lu Yun just arrived at the company when he received a call from Ye Yixing.

"Cousin, I just went to your place, why didn’t I see you?"

"I slept at Su Xingwan’s place last night."

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the line.

The next second, Ye Yixing let out a big exclamation.

"What?? You slept at her place?"

"Wait, didn’t you go back last night? How did you end up at her place?"

Lu Yun: "I had a few drinks last night, and as I was driving, I had the driver take me to her place."

"Then why did you sleep at her place? Who did you sleep with? She only has two beds there, did you have enough room?"

Ye Yixing prattled on.

Lu Yun: "..."

"They all slept together, and I had a bed to myself."

Ye Yixing breathed a sigh of relief.

"So Su Xingwan is pretty nice to you then, not as cold as imagined."

Lu Yun lowered his eyes, "Maybe it’s because I’m the uncle of the three little ones."

"No, if it were me going to sleep at Su Xingwan’s place, you think she’d let me? Cousin, I think Su Xingwan does have feelings for you. Otherwise, with her character, would she let a man sleep at her place?"

Lu Yun pondered.

He actually couldn’t quite figure it out.

For some reason, he thought about hugging her last night.

He held her so tightly, beyond the normal range of a hug, yet she didn’t push him away.

She seemed a bit soft towards him.

Thinking of this, his mood inexplicably brightened.

Last night’s gloom was also swept away.

Ye Yixing chuckled, "Look at you, all happy. Is it worth it? A seasoned president like you shouldn’t be so naive."

"Let’s not talk about it." He hung up the phone.

The incident at the banquet last night had hit the hot search, and the Lu Family was busy with public relations, yet they couldn’t stop the media from spreading the content for clicks.

Fortunately, this time, while the Lu Family’s stock price fluctuated a bit, the impact wasn’t too large.

Lu Anguo breathed a sigh of relief.

The media outside were reporting about the Lu Group’s president being at odds with his own father.

"Whoa, the hot search is about the Lu Group this time? Not just gossip about those entertainment stars?"

"Lu Group, is their company that big?"

"Those who aren’t familiar can look it up online. I heard the Lu Group’s president is very handsome, very young, and powerful. Truly a domineering president!"

"Wow! Want to see, want to see!"

"Are there photos of that handsome president? I want to see!"

"Can’t find any, Lu Group deliberately hides them."

"Aren’t you guys missing the point? The current public topic is about that young president being enemies with his father. Whenever they meet, they argue. Is it true?"

"Since it’s in the news, it must be true."

"Remember Lu Group was on the hot search a few years ago as well? But that time was a storm; the whole Beijing was watching. Wasn’t the Lu Group president different then?"

"I vaguely remember. Wasn’t it his brother? I heard this president doesn’t get along with his brother either."

"From what you’re saying, the president has no family ties with the Lu Family? The two brothers fought tooth and nail for that position."

"Oh please, just look at what a big family the Lu Family is. Fighting for power in grand families can be as merciless as palace power struggles in ancient times. Having family ties would be abnormal."

"Who remembers the major incident that happened in the Lu Family a few years ago? This time it didn’t incite much, nowhere near the previous storm."

"A few years ago, it was the previous president rejecting a rich family heiress for a common woman in public. Now, it’s the current president arguing with his father at a banquet. Anyone can tell, the public loves drama. A rejection scandal is surely more captivating than a father-son discord."

"Haha, who would’ve thought there’s still a penchant for Cinderella marrying into a wealthy family these days."

"Hey, it didn’t happen, did it? That president who rejected marriage for love is dead, and even that woman disappeared."

"So this is the real deal. Cinderella is still Cinderella, hardly crossing class boundaries. Even if they do, over a few years, differences in class and ideology tear them apart. So, since the great president died, this love story didn’t turn cliché."

"If I may, the Cinderella in fairy tales wasn’t poor; she was born into a wealthy family."

"Hehe, gossip about the wealthy indeed holds a certain allure over everyday tales."

Su Xingwan saw this trending news while resting during a short drama shoot.

She was stunned. Was Mr. Lu’s mood off because of what happened at last night’s banquet?

Ye Yixing received a call from Su Xingwan.

She asked about her cousin’s situation.

He once again confirmed that Su Xingwan genuinely cared for his cousin.

"You’re talking about the trending issue? It’s true!"

Ye Yixing said, "Didn’t my cousin stay at your place last night?"

Su Xingwan was surprised, "He told you about that?"
