After I left home with a broken heart, my whole family begged me to come back

Chapter 119 Fate
Chang Qing was a little unhappy, but when he thought of the purpose of this trip, Chang Qing forced himself to suppress the discomfort in his heart, looked up at Lu Yuanyuan, and smiled, which he thought was very charming, "Yuanyuan is really straightforward."

This sentence seemed to praise Lu Yuanyuan, but anyone present who was not stupid could hear that Chang Qing's words were a subtle criticism of Lu Yuanyuan's low emotional intelligence.

Lu Yuanyuan's face immediately darkened, not buying into Chang Qing's claims at all, "Of course I'm straightforward, unlike you, who beats around the bush and doesn't mind being tired."

"Yuanyuan!" Lu Tingfeng frowned.

The Chang family father and son came to welcome Lu Yuanyuan with good intentions, but Lu Yuanyuan started arguing with them as soon as they met, which was a bit ungrateful.

Lu Yuanyuan didn't give Lu Tingfeng face and looked at Xie Chen with an apologetic look, "Xie Chen, I'm sorry, I didn't know there were other people at the table, let's go eat somewhere else!"

Lu Yuanyuan said this and was about to leave.

Lu Tingfeng grabbed Lu Yuanyuan's wrist and shouted in a low voice, "Sit down!"

Lu Yuanyuan shook off Lu Tingfeng's hand, looking unhappy, "Aren't they going to have a welcoming party for us? You just stay here with them."

After Lu Yuanyuan said this, she stepped forward and grabbed Xie Chen's hand.

Xie Chen did not hesitate and stood up with Lu Yuanyuan.

Xie Huaishan and Mu Wanting followed suit and stood up together.

The Chang family father and son came to welcome Lu Yuanyuan, not to them. Besides, they were not familiar with the Chang family father and son.

Lu Yuanyuan is about to leave, why are they still staying here?
Lu Yuanyuan turned around and left without any hesitation.

Lu Tingfeng's face turned green.

He had thought that Lu Yuanyuan would be cold to him, but he had never thought that Lu Yuanyuan did not give the Chang father and son any face at all.

At today's meal, he did conceal the truth that Lu Yuanyuan and the Chang family's father and son would come.

But, isn't this for her own good?

The Lu family is the largest family in Jingzhou, and Lu Yuanyuan is the only daughter of the Lu family.

If Lu Yuanyuan wants to get married, she will definitely marry someone of equal status.

What is Xie Chen?
A young master from the declining Xie family who has no legitimate status.

It can’t even match a branch of the Lu family.

Lu Tingfeng admitted that he had the genes of a businessman in his bones.

"Brother Lu, your sister has a rather bad temper." Chang Qing looked at Lu Tingfeng with a smile.

Lu Tingfeng smiled a little embarrassedly, "I was spoiled by my family, please forgive me, Brother Chang!"

Chang Ning narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the door of the private room.

The figures of Lu Yuanyuan, Xie Chen and others have completely disappeared outside the door.

"It's normal for girls to be a little spoiled." Chang Ning pulled the corner of his mouth and helped Lu Yuanyuan to smooth things over. "My Chang Qing has a soft personality. I will be more tolerant of her in the future."

Lu Tingfeng frowned again, feeling that these words were a little unpleasant to the ear.

The Lu family is interested in forming an alliance with the Chang family, but it is just an intention. If Lu Yuanyuan is unwilling from the bottom of her heart, the Lu family will actually let her do as she pleases.

After all, Lu Yuanyuan is only eighteen years old now and has many choices in the future.

"Brother Lu, let me toast you. Welcome to Shanghai." Chang Qing said, raising his glass towards Lu Tingfeng.

He has a humble and gentle attitude, like a kind-hearted young man, and there is no sign of his usual dissolute character.

Lu Yuanyuan has already left, and he can't leave the Chang father and son behind.

For the sake of face, Lu Tingfeng picked up the wine glass at hand and clinked glasses with Chang Qing.

This welcoming banquet with only three people and the absence of the protagonist seemed a bit out of place.

……

Lu Yuanyuan pulled Xie Chen's hand and walked out of the room. Xie Huaishan and Mu Wanting followed behind them. Seeing that the two young people seemed to have something to say, they tactfully found an excuse and went back to the hotel.

Lu Yuanyuan felt very embarrassed, "Uncle, Aunt, I'm so sorry, it's my fault that I didn't arrange it properly and made you feel wronged." Xie Huaishan comforted her, "Silly child, what does this have to do with you?"

He and Mu Wanting are neither stupid nor blind, and Lu Yuanyuan is not aware of this.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be that Lu Tingfeng who made the arrangement on his own.

The Chang family in Shanghai is indeed a first-rate wealthy family, so it is understandable that the Lu family wants to form an alliance through marriage.

"You two should have a good chat. Your aunt and I also want to go around and look for memories of the past." Xie Huaishan spoke in a gentle tone with a caring smile on his face.

After Xie Huaishan finished speaking, he took Mu Wanting's hand and walked out of the restaurant.

Lu Yuanyuan felt a little bad.

She originally wanted to behave well during the meal and get closer to Xie Chen's parents.

Now, Lu Tingfeng has done something like this, and it is a question whether he will be misunderstood by the people of the Xie family.

"Xie Chen, I don't know what's wrong with my brother. He even called the guy named Chang over to spoil the fun." Lu Yuanyuan pouted her lips and turned to look at Xie Chen with a look of grievance.

Seeing Lu Yuanyuan's aggrieved look, Xie Chen couldn't help but laugh, "Silly girl, don't let irrelevant people affect our mood."

"Let's go and see the night view of Shanghai." Xie Chen changed the subject, holding Lu Yuanyuan's hand and walking out the door.

The night in Shanghai is very different from that in Beijing.

The fast pace of a modern city is fully displayed in this city.

The towering buildings, the iron tower by the river, the dazzling fireworks, the carnival and noise in the night are as beautiful as an exquisite depiction.

Xie Chen held Lu Yuanyuan's hand and walked along the river.

The breeze from the river blew away Lu Yuanyuan's irritability.

Standing by the river, letting the water splash against her feet, Lu Yuanyuan felt refreshed.

She put her hands together to make a trumpet shape and shouted towards the river, "Xie Chen, I like you!"

I like you... I like you...

Lu Yuanyuan’s bold and passionate shouts echoed on the river for a long time.

Xie Chen's eyes deepened.

He had already noticed that Lu Yuanyuan liked him.

"Why?" Xie Chen frowned and asked in a somewhat disappointing manner.

Lu Yuanyuan looked up at Xie Chen's angular face and said, "Because it's you!"

If it weren't for Xie Chen, she would have had no future when she was seven years old.

When Lu Yuanyuan looked at Xie Chen, there was light in her eyes, as if they were filled with stars.

Xie Chen always felt as if he had seen this pair of eyes somewhere before, which seemed to be able to light up people's hearts in an instant.

"Have we met somewhere before?" Xie Chen asked this question subconsciously.

Lu Yuanyuan smiled, her eyebrows curved like crescent moons, deliberately teasing Xie Chen, "Yes! We are destined lovers!"

Xie Chen couldn't help but smile at Lu Yuanyuan's words, "I am so honored to be recognized as your destined lover by Miss Lu."

As Xie Chen spoke, he couldn't help but hold Lu Yuanyuan in his arms.

The girl in his arms was very quiet, with a fresh scent of jasmine emanating from her hair. Xie Chen just felt that just by holding Lu Yuanyuan like this, his body and mind could relax.

He had had this feeling before.

A long, long time ago, he once hugged a girl like this.
