Everyone saw Lu Jingchuan going out angrily just now, and everyone thought that something serious had happened.
But in the blink of an eye, he just brought back his secretary?
In the tacit silence, Lin Shanyue walked over first, glared at Shen Zhinian calmly, turned around and smiled, holding Lu Jingchuan's arm intimately: "Jingchuan, why did you make a special trip to pick up Secretary Shen? She said she was looking for Can’t we reach the road?”
Regardless of the intricacies, let's label Shen Zhinian as a delayer.
Sure enough, the way the guests looked at Shen Zhinian changed, from questioning to despising, and they obviously regarded her as the kind of money-worshiping white lotus with dirty thoughts and grandstanding.
Shen Zhinian raised his eyes and looked at Lin Shanyue with calm eyes: "Miss Lin misunderstood. I was planning to leave. Mr. Lu said that as his secretary, I must attend his banquet."
Unexpectedly, she would directly refute in front of so many people. Lin Shanyue was stunned, smiled awkwardly, and deliberately turned to Lu Jingchuan to confirm: "Jingchuan, I didn't expect you to be so considerate."
Lu Jingchuan's expression remained unchanged, and he agreed calmly: "Well, after all, she has been my secretary for so many years, so it is somewhat unjustifiable not to come to participate."
This was an indirect admission of Shen Zhinian's remarks.
The guests' joking gazes turned to Lin Shanyue, with amusement in their eyes.
"Let's start when everyone is here." Lu Jingchuan ordered lightly without giving her a chance to speak.
Shen Zhinian was bored staying here. With Lin Shanyue beside him, she didn't need to do anything at all.
She sat bored in the corner, staring at the guests coming and going, thinking about finding an opportunity to leave.
Just as she was thinking, a shadow blocked her light. She looked up in confusion and faced Lu Yan's smiling face.
"Mr. Xiao Lu, I thought you had gone back." Shen Zhinian cheered up and looked at Lu Jingchuan behind him from the corner of his eye, who was talking to someone else.
Lu Yan didn't shy away from it at all. He sat down next to her generously, raised his eyebrows and joked: "It's my good brother's birthday, why would I leave early? Even if I wanted to, my mother wouldn't allow it."
When talking about Mrs. Lu, Shen Zhinian's expression flashed.
Ever since that family dinner, Mrs. Lu had rarely arranged her affairs. It could even be said that she was separating her intentionally or unintentionally, as if she wanted to quietly divide her power.
Shen Zhinian's silence caught Lu Yan's attention.
He turned sideways to face her, with a smile in his eyes: "Why, you seem to be a little resistant to my mother now?"
"It's not a conflict." Shen Zhinian's retort was unconvincing.
As if he had seen through her thoughts, Lu Yan's smile deepened, and Youyou said: "My mother definitely didn't mean to belittle you, it's just that she treasured Jingchuan and wanted to find a suitable match for Jingchuan, so she overreacted to you. .”
This explanation was better than no explanation, and Shen Zhinian's mood did not feel any better.
"If I asked you to be my significant other, my mother would definitely not have any doubts at all." Lu Yan then joked.
Shen Zhinian just thought he was joking and chuckled: "What are you talking about, Mr. Lu? Madam Lu must have the same expectations for you two brothers."
After she finished speaking, Lu Yan suddenly looked serious, leaned forward and approached Shen Zhinian, and his tone became lower: "I'm serious, if you want to."
In response to his sudden approach, Shen Zhinian's throat tightened in shock. He couldn't even smile dryly and stepped back stiffly to distance himself.
"Mr. Xiao Lu, I..."
"Secretary Shen, you seem to like chatting with Lu Yan?" Lu Jingchuan asked sadly as he didn't know when he would come over.
Shen Zhinian suddenly raised his head, and just as he was about to explain, he heard a majestic female voice calling over there: "Jingchuan, come here."
Mrs. Lu looked stern and locked Shen Zhinian tightly, fearing that Lu Jingchuan would say another word to her.
When his eyes turned to Lu Yan, he felt more relaxed.
Seeing that Lu Jingchuan refused to go over, Mrs. Lu's tone became more serious: "It's enough to have Ayan accompany Secretary Shen."
Shen Zhinian subconsciously looked at Lu Yan, who saw a flash of disappointment and self-mockery in the latter's eyes, which quickly dissipated like the wind without a trace.
The guests over there were all waiting eagerly. Mrs. Lu called again and again, but Lu Jingchuan couldn't stay any longer, so he snorted and walked back.
Lin Shanyue held Mrs. Lu's arm and smiled softly at Lu Jingchuan, as if she were the hostess of the house: "Jingchuan, you are too worried about Secretary Shen. Will Brother Yan let your guests be left out?"
The two sang and harmonized, as if they had the harmony of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
It was quiet in this little corner.
Shen Zhinian propped up his chin and stared blankly at Lu Jingchuan, seeing him and Lin Shanyue standing together, chatting and laughing. There was no choice in their matching looks.
But she also understood what Lu Yan said.
"Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu... isn't she very concerned about you?" She meant to care, but after asking, she realized that it was too abrupt, and apologized hastily: "I'm sorry, I just thought of it suddenly, and I didn't want to inquire about you. family."
Lu Yan didn't care much and waved it off casually: "Jingchuan is already better, which is normal. Moreover, he is the mainstay of the Lu family, so I can be free and at ease. I can't thank him enough."
Unexpectedly, he would hear a completely different Lu Jingchuan from Lu Yan's mouth. Shen Zhinian gradually became interested and couldn't help but ask.
Lu Yan generously shared interesting stories about the brothers when they were young, making Shen Zhinian laugh frequently.
While Lu Jingchuan was talking, he paid attention to Shen Zhinian from the corner of his eye. Seeing her smiling so heartily, his eyes darkened.
He had worked with Shen Zhinian for so long, and it was rare to see her look so cheerful.
"Jingchuan? Jingchuan?!" Mrs. Lu pulled Lu Jingchuan's arm and frowned, "Why are you distracted?"
"Nothing." Lu Jingchuan looked away.
Lin Shanyue noticed what he was looking at, her peripheral vision dimmed, she turned her head and whispered to Mrs. Lu: "Auntie, I'm going to the bathroom."
Here, Shen Zhinian was chatting with Lu Yan when he suddenly saw Lin Shanyue striding towards this side.
She became nervous instantly, and even her expression became much calmer.
"Secretary Shen, Jingchuan may not be able to leave for a while. He said you can leave first if you get bored." Lin Shanyue got straight to the point.
At the same time, Lu Jingchuan looked over, as if to prove Lin Shanyue's words.
It was obviously a good thing that he could finally be liberated, but Shen Zhinian couldn't be happy and kept a polite face: "Okay."
Watching Lin Shanyue leave, Shen Zhinian's smile dropped and she said to Lu Yan, "Then I won't disturb Mr. Lu's leisurely elegance."
Unexpectedly, Lu Yan had already stood up and buttoned his clothes, and reached out his hand like a gentleman: "The banquet is too boring, I will give it to you to take home."
Shen Zhinian was stunned for a moment and noticed that Lu Jingchuan was still looking over here. On impulse, she raised her hand and put it on his palm to help her stand up, straightened her long skirt and smiled brightly: "Then I'll trouble Mr. Lu. "
