Chapter 32: Lu Yanshen is just a blabbering idiot

~7 min read 1,376 words

The next morning.

Xie Wantang woke up naturally, having changed to a new environment, Xie Wantang was in a good mood.

She opened the door; the private butler of the Zongtang Taofang had already washed and dried the two people's clothes from last night, and sent them to the room, neatly folded and placed on the living room sofa.

Hers, and Lu Yanshen's, mixed together.

Those who didn't know would think they had a good marital relationship.

Actually, not necessarily.

Xie Wantang took her clothes back to her room and hung them in the room's wardrobe.

After the embarrassing incident that happened in the bathroom last night, Xie Wantang realized that this Zongtang Taofang was somewhat different from other presidential suites.

The master bedroom's bathroom is connected to the conference room's washroom, making it convenient for the host to return to the master bedroom to rest after a meeting.

It's a shortcut.

In that case, Xie Wantang did not sleep in the master bedroom but chose a guest room slightly smaller than the master bedroom next door; the bathroom is shared, located next to the room, and is quite convenient to use.

The private butler is quite professional; even if Xie Wantang placed her bathing supplies outside in this bathroom, she would absolutely not gossip.

After Xie Wantang finished washing up, the private butler knocked on the door.

Xie Wantang went to open the door; the private butler lowered his head and greeted her, 'MrsLu, good morning, the Grand Land Chief has arrived; he wishes to invite you to share breakfast.'

Yu Jing Zun Di is a five-star hotel under the Lu Clan Group; after Xie Wantang married Lu Yanshen, Old Master Land gave this hotel to Lu Yanshen, and now Lu Yanshen manages it entirely.

Lu Yanze owns a seven-star hotel that is even more splendid than Yu Jing Zun Di.

'Where is the elder brother?' Xie Wantang raised her eyebrows slightly; she was quite surprised. Having been married to Lu Yanshen for three years, Lu Yanze looks down on her in every way; his wife, Liu Shiyue, is nevertheless the top socialite of Sijiucheng.

She has personally heard Lu Yanze judge her and Liu Shiyue with others, saying she cannot even compare to one of Liu Shiyue's fingers.

If she can't compare, so be it; she has always just wanted to focus on her own life, never thought of competing with anyone, let alone trying to suppress others.

As long as everyone minds their own business and lives their own lives, isn't that nice?

"At Ying Yue Can Ting."

"Okay, I got it; I'll go myself, please tidy up the room."

"Not a trouble, MrsLu; this is what we should do." The butler was very respectful.

"By the way, Mr. Lu didn't come back later?"

"Seems so, MrsLu; Young Master Lu hasn't shown up yet."

"Hmm, I understand."

After Xie Wantang entered the elevator, the corner of her mouth twitched; Lu Yanshen is just a blabbering idiot, saying he would rush back this morning to keep her company for breakfast.

Eat shit, not even a ghost in sight.

Afterward, Xie Wantang couldn't help but think: a whole night has passed; Dongdong might still not have reduced his fever?

Thinking of that little brat, setting aside the adults' grudges, Xie Wantang felt that the little brat was actually quite cute.

Speaking of which, that little brat's eyebrows and eyes really resemble Lu Yanshen's.

If the timing weren't off, she would really suspect that little guy is Lu Yanshen's offspring.

That little guy is still under three years old.

If Xia Meng left Lu Yanshen while pregnant, that logic wouldn't make sense either.

If Xia Meng had Lu Yanshen's child, she wouldn't even get a chance to marry him.

Can't figure it out, so I won't think about it.

Xie Wantang's principle in life is: if something is too complicated, she doesn't think about it.

Anyway, the truth will eventually surface; if it doesn't, then it's destined not to be her business to meddle in.

Ding—

The elevator arrived at the floor where Ying Yue Can Ting is located; Xie Wantang walked out, her phone rang again, she thought it was Lu Yanshen, but it turned out to be her senior martial brother.

"Junior sister, I'm arriving at Sijiucheng tonight; are you free to pick me up?"

"Yes, what time?"

"It's a bit late, I'll be there at eleven; is that convenient? If not, then..."

"I'm free, senior martial brother; I'll come pick you up."

"Okay, goodbye; see you tonight."

"Hmm."

The entire Ying Yue Can Ting, aside from the waitstaff, only had Lu Yanze present; Xie Wantang went straight over.

"Wantang, you're here, sit—" Lu Yanze smiled and extended his hand; as he withdrew it, he also adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose bridge.

The transparent lenses refracted the outside light, plus the reflection, Xie Wantang couldn't see at all what was behind the lenses; who knows what schemes lay hidden in Lu Yanze's fox-like eyes.

However, Xie Wantang didn't care.

Before her butt even touched the chair, Xie Wantang stood up again, "Sorry, elder brother, I just woke up and I'm hungry; I'll go get something to eat first."

"Hmm, together."

Lu Yanze nodded and also stood up.

"Sure." Xie Wantang said generously, "Elder brother, why didn't you bring your wife along?"

"Elder brother and sister-in-law were tired yesterday; let her sleep a bit longer."

"The elder brother and sister-in-law have a really good relationship."

"Wantang, there's a matter; the elder brother wants to ask you for a favor." Before reaching the buffet area, Lu Yanze spoke up.

"Elder brother has something and wants my help? I'm just a housewife handling household chores; elder brother, are you sure you want me to help?" Xie Wantang said especially humbly.

She thought for a moment; in the eyes of the Lu Family, the only thing she does is stay at home and take care of Lu Yanshen; everything else, they probably wouldn't know.

Over these years, it's only the Lu Family who looks down on her like that, right?

In their eyes, hiding at home as a good-for-nothing is worthless.

The more prestigious the family, the more realistic this is.

The woman one marries must have value—either she can bear children, or she can serve as a facade.

"Xie Wantang, you're really too modest. I heard from the second brother that you invited Qin Muyang from Haishi, right?"

"That was the plan, but he refused, so he left."

"Huh? He refused?"

"Yeah, the night before last, Lu Yanshen still met with him, and then Qin Muyang, the lawyer, changed his mind. Oh my, people like you with great talent actually go back on your word—I didn't expect that either."

"......"

Lu Yanze's eyes flickered.

"Xie Wantang, may I ask what you used to exchange with Qin Muyang? Everyone in the circle knows it's not easy to get Qin Muyang to take a case; I'm just curious."

"Sorry, big brother, it involves personal privacy, so it's really not convenient." Xie Wantang directly refused.

"All I can say is, being able to move Qin Muyang, as a housewife I naturally have no ability; it's thanks to an intermediary pulling strings for me, and they graciously lowered themselves to accompany me on this trip."

As for that intermediary, she calls them Mom and Dad; there's no need to explain this too clearly to Lu Yanze.

After all, she didn't even tell Lu Yanshen—what is Lu Yanze, nobody?

"It's fine, if it's inconvenient then forget it." Lu Yanze smiled, but his smile didn't reach his eyes.

Xie Wantang pursed her lips, completely indifferent to Lu Yanze's emotions.

She knew that Lu Yanze was the Lu family's local emperor, but to her, that local emperor meant nothing.

Upon reaching the buffet area, Xie Wantang picked the food she liked.

Staples, drinks, desserts, appetizers—everything was available.

During that time, Lu Yanze kindly recommended some new items to her, and Xie Wantang politely declined with a smile.

Anything Lu Yanze liked, she lost her appetite at just a glance.

The two returned to their window-side seats; just as they sat down, Lu Yanshen, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, strode over.
