“Daddy, brother.”

Lu Xiaocha’s lips curled up, and her clear eyes were smiling. She seemed to be glowing.

The men from the Lu family responded at the same time.

Under the stunned or admiring gazes of the onlookers, Lu Zhan brought his wife and children into the car to block everyone’s view. Then, he left.

It was lively at the auction banquet prepared by the Leng family.

As the organizer of this event, the Leng family naturally received a lot of attention.

The next successor of the Leng family, Leng Yunting, was an outstanding young man. Many girls present had the intention of marrying into the Leng family.

Such an outstanding young man was the most suitable son-in-law.

Many young ladies knew that their families had this idea, so when they looked at the handsome young man again, they could not help but blush.

At this moment, Leng Yunting, who was the center of attention, had no expression on his face. He looked very cold, just like his surname¹.

There was arrogance and disdain for others in the depths of his eyes, but he hid it well and did not show it easily.

He would talk to some people who came to toast him, but he did not need to entertain some people. After all, he was a member of the Leng family.

Leng Yunting looked at the time and frowned slightly. Why wasn’t that woman here yet?

He was about to leave to call her when there was a gasp and a commotion at the door.

He looked up and his pupils constricted when his gaze met the person who walked in. His fingers tightened around his wine glass.

The young man who entered against the light was dressed in a well-tailored silver-gray suit. He had thick black hair, well-defined, deep-set features, and eyes the color of jasper.

He was a half-blood. Whether it was his looks or his polite but distant presence, everyone was attracted to him.

“It’s the genius director, Lu Beiqing!”

Some recognized the man and looked at him with more enthusiasm, especially those in the entertainment industry.

Leng Yunting’s face looked even colder.

Especially when he saw Bai Yunyi walk in behind Lu Beiqing, he almost crushed the wine glass in his hand. His eyes flashed with anger.

He looked at Lu Beiqing coldly.

What genius director? He would let him know the consequences of angering him.

The handsome young man who was walking in from the door seemed to have sensed the malicious gaze. He looked over unhurriedly and met Leng Yunting’s angry gaze.

Lu Beiqing nodded and looked away to find a seat.

The reason he had come to this auction was to see if there was a suitable gift he could buy and bring back for his sister.

In Leng Yunting’s eyes, Lu Beiqing had ignored and provoked him.

He sneered. He was just a small director, yet he wanted to snatch Leng Yunting’s woman. He really didn’t know his place.

With that in mind, he strode over to Bai Yunyi, took her wrist, and led her to a secluded spot as she gasped.

“Have you forgotten my words!”

Leng Yunting punched the wall beside Bai Yunyi and looked at the woman like an angry lion.

Bai Yunyi struggled, afraid.

“I … I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Leng Yunting pinched her face with one hand.

“You don’t know? Then why did you come in here with that man? Is he still on your mind? Don’t forget who you are and what you did to piss me off!”

Bai Yunyi was like a little white flower that had been ravaged by the wind and rain, pitiful and tenacious.

“I didn’t. It was just an accident. I didn’t know I would meet Mr. Lu coincidentally.”

Her eyes were filled with tears. “Leng Yunting, do you really not believe me?”

Leng Yunting sneered. “You want me to believe you? Unless you leave that crew.”

“Not a chance. That’s a role I fought hard for. That’s my dream. I have nothing left now. Are you going to make me give up my only dream?”

Leng Yunting clenched his fists tightly. “Then I’ll change the director.”

He was about to leave when she grabbed his arm.

“Yunting, don’t be like this. There’s really nothing between Mr. Lu and me.”

“And you’re pleading on his behalf?!”

Bai Yunyi shook her head, red-eyed. “I just don’t want anyone else to get hurt because of me.”

Leng Yunting looked at her quietly for a long time.

“Okay, I won’t give him a hard time.”

Bai Yunyi finally smiled and kissed him on the cheek. “I knew you were the best.”

Leng Yunting’s lips curled into a cold smile. Only he knew the schemes in his heart. As long as Bai Yunyi did not find out that he was targeting Lu Beiqing, everything would be fine.

The two of them returned to the lively banquet hall from their secluded spot. Bai Yunyi had been worried that someone would discover them and had even thought of an excuse.

But when they walked out, they realized that no one had noticed them at all. All eyes were on the door.

Who was here now?

It was the Lu family, of course.

It was as if God had taken a special liking to their family and had left all the good in them.

Lu Zhan and Pei Anran stood together with their peers as if they were from different eras.

This made others around Lu Zhan’s age complain. Why did these two look like they were from their son’s generation?

The Lu family must be eating preservatives!

What was even more infuriating was the young men of the Lu family.

If Leng Yunting could be considered a young talent, then everyone in the Lu family could be considered geniuses.

The most infuriating thing was that all of these geniuses had gone to the Lu family!

It might be because the previous Lu family head was too ridiculous, but there were a lot of illegitimate children, although none of them were outstanding. It seemed that all their talent, looks, and character were compensated to Lu Zhan and his younger brother, Lu Shen.

Needless to say, no one dared to look down on Lu Zhan for being able to persevere and obtain control of the Lu Cooperation while being surrounded by wolves.

Back then, his brother, Lu Shen, was also a talented person. Unfortunately, he died in a car accident.

The children that the two of them had left behind were each more outstanding than the next. The eldest son of the Lu family, Lu Beihuai, whom they knew, had really inherited Lu Zhan’s outstanding genes perfectly. He was a business genius. When he was studying abroad, he had already built his own business empire from scratch.

Very few people knew about the second son of the Lu family because he rarely appeared.

The third son of the Lu family who appeared now was said to be the behind-the-scenes boss of the Midnight Club. He also ran many bars.

The fourth son of the Lu family had entered a famous military school. Their future was limitless.

As for the fifth son, Lu Beichen, although he was still young, he was a model child, because of his outstanding results and that he was steady and calm at such a young age.
