“N0.1 High School is indeed a good school! Yan will surely be the top scorer in the college entry exam this year!” Shen Hai praised with all kinds of compliments he could come up with.
Lu Li gradually became impatient with the incessant praise.
On the other side, Shen Yuan continued to pester Yan. Today, Zhou Li was not around, or else Shen Yuan would undoubtedly have to endure some sarcastic remarks.
The father and daughter duo stubbornly refused to leave.
Lu Li didn’t want to directly kick them out, so he had someone inform Lu Si to come over in person.
In the study, Lu Si sat behind his desk, expressionless, giving orders, “Liu Lan definitely knows a lot. Continue to pressure her husband. I must make her speak the truth.”
“Yes.” Jiang Hai was about to leave the study when Jiang He hurriedly rushed in, telling what Lu Li had said.
Lu Si, feeling annoyed, rubbed his temples.
Jiang He, being astute, suggested, “How about 1 say you’re in the middle of a video conference, and let Mr. Lu handle it himself for a while?”
“Forget it. Let’s go and see.” Lu Si finally stood up and personally went to the living room.
As soon as Shen Yuan saw him, her eyes immediately stuck to Lu Si. She didn’t even notice when Lu Yan quietly slipped away.
Shen Hai, with a delighted expression, stood up and quickly approached Lu Si, greeting him, “All Si, it’s been so many years. You still look so handsome, just like when you were a child!”
Lu Si furrowed his brows slightly, avoided his hand, and sat on the sofa by himself. He drank the tea poured by the butler and said, “Has the token of appreciation been given?”
“Uh, yes.” Shen Hai’s smile froze completely, and he awkwardly responded.
Lu Si nodded, “Alright, the thanks have been expressed. You can leave now.”
“But…” Shen Hai’s eyes showed a hint of displeasure, quickly concealed by him, “All Si, we haven’t seen each other for so many years. Shouldn’t we sit down and catch up? How about this, I’ll treat everyone today. Let’s have dinner together.”
“No need to do that. We aren’t that close to begin with.” Lu Si’s cold and distant words completely extinguished the warmth in Shen Hai’s tone.
The atmosphere in the living room instantly became cold.
Lu Li, who always believed in the principle of winning more friends to have fewer enemies, smiled and tried to mediate, saying, “Ah Si has never liked getting close to people since childhood. Mr. Shen, you should know about it. How about you and Yuanyuan staying for dinner at my home? It’ll save us from spending money outside.”
“That works!” Shen Hai found a way out and immediately put on a smiling face again, “But we originally came to express our gratitude. How can we just eat at your house for free? How about this, I’ll have my assistant go home now and bring the good wine I’ve treasured for many years. Let’s all enjoy it together.” “Sure.” Lu Li instructed the butler to prepare more dishes for the evening and discreetly touched Lu Si’s arm, whispering, “If you don’t like dealing with him, you can go back first. I’m here.”
“Wasn’t it you who asked Jiang He to invite me over?” Lu Si glanced at him, didn’t wait for a response, and got up to leave.
This time, Shen Yuan walked straight to Lu Si, blocking his way, before Shen Hai even gave her a signal. “Master Si, it’s been a long time since we met. I heard you came back to the city for health reasons. How are you now?”
Shen Hai didn’t seem to take the embarrassment just now to heart at all. Hearing his daughter’s words, he immediately slapped his thigh and said in realization, “Oh, that’s right. How is Ah Si’s recovery? I know many famous doctors. I can ask them to take a good look at All Si!”
Lu Si said expressionlessly, “Don’t worry. I’ve almost recovered.”
Shen Hai still maintained his smile. “That’s good. By the way, I’m going to let Yuanyuan enter the company to gain experience after she graduates this year. Among your younger generation, Ah Si is the most capable. Yuanyuan happened to come today. All Si, why don’t you teach Yuanyuan how to run the company for me? Our two families can still cooperate in the future!”
“Good idea, but All Si is tired today. Why don’t we ask Yuanyuan to come over another day?” Lu Li smiled and took over.
Looking at his brother’s cold expression, Lu Li’s heart was pounding.
Shen Hai was really desperate to build connections with Ah Si!
Can’t he see that All Si is extremely impatient?
Did he want to die?
However, Shen Hai clearly didn’t realize this as Lu Li did. He continued to deliver a message to his daughter, asking her to continue to pester Lu Si.
Lu Si’s patience was completely exhausted. Ignoring the chattering woman who had been following him, he walked straight out of the villa.
But he clearly underestimated Shen Yuan’s shamelessness.
Although Lu Si had already put on a disgusted expression, she was still chattering in his ear.
Lu Si stopped expressionlessly.
Shen Yuan keenly felt his anger and immediately closed her mouth, timidly raising her eyes to look at him.
Lu Si: “Don’t follow me. I’m not interested in you.”
Shen Yuan obediently nodded, “I know you’re not interested in me, but we had a good relationship when we were children. I don’t believe you would still treat me like this after getting to know me..”
