However, he then froze on the spot.

But Lu Jie didn't even glance at him and simply walked past him.

"Hey, Yi-ge! You've finally come to Beijing, and you didn't even call me!"

He walked toward Chen Yi with great excitement.

Chen Yi also stood up and walked quickly towards Lu Jie.

"Xiao Jie, I was just about to come see you tomorrow!"

The two of them gave each other a tight hug, they were incredibly affectionate.

After this scene unfolded, Chen Hongsheng felt so embarrassed that his scalp was about to split open.

It turns out that Young Master Lu paid the bill not because of himself, but because of that kid.

It turns out that the Mr. Chen that Manager Wang was referring to wasn't himself, but that kid.

He had just been shamelessly boasting; he had truly embarrassed himself beyond belief.

He was repeatedly humiliated today, feeling utterly ashamed and filled with anger and resentment.

Liu Min was equally stunned.

What happened?

Why are Young Master Lu and that kid so intimate?

Who is Young Master Lu?

The young master of the Lu Group is a top-tier figure.

That kid was just a small-time doctor, a country bumpkin who'd never seen the world.

Why are they being so intimate with Young Master Lu?

Xu Linwei was also greatly surprised.

I never expected my husband to have such a good relationship with the young master of the prestigious Lu family in Beijing.

This husband of mine is just impossible to deal with; he has connections everywhere he goes.

She shook her head speechlessly.

Chen Yi pulled Lu Jie to sit down, poured him a glass of wine, and said:

How did you know I was here?

"Jiajia saw you and told me," Lu Jie said, pointing to the woman in the red dress.

Chen Yi looked over and smiled.

"Hey, isn't this our school beauty? Now, you're finally Mrs. Lu?"

The girl's name was Luo Jia, a fellow student of Chen Yi and his classmates from the music academy.

During freshman year military training, Luo Jia captivated countless male students with a single dance, quickly becoming the undisputed new campus beauty.

Lu Jie became obsessed with her and pursued her relentlessly.

His method of pursuing girls was also very simple.

Throw money at it!

They poured in stacks of real money.

Smash it in the morning, smash it at noon, smash it at night...

What girl in the world could stand that?

Even if Luo Jia is an ice queen, even if her heart is tightly shut, it will eventually be broken open.

The two began a shameless and intimate relationship during their university years.

Luo Jia smiled slightly at Chen Yi.

"Brother Yi, I just saw you go into the hotel and call Xiao Jie over."

It turned out to be the case.

Chen Yi gently embraced Xu Linwei and said, "This is my wife, Xu Linwei."

Lu Jie was shocked when he saw Xu Linwei.

So beautiful!

It's unbelievably beautiful!


"Brother Yi, is this the woman you picked up on a one-night stand?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Chen Yi slammed his knee into his thigh. "What one-night stand? That's a destiny preordained in a past life!"

"Ouch!"

Lu Jie hugged his legs and backed away repeatedly, "I know, it's fate, it's fate!"

He walked up to Xu Linwei and bowed respectfully.

"Sister-in-law, my name is Lu Jie, and I'm Yi Ge's good friend."

Xu Linwei stood up and smiled sweetly.

"Young Master Lu, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Chen Hongsheng also came over.

Chen Yi said, "This is my wife's classmate's boyfriend. He said he knows you."

Chen Hongsheng quickly stood up.

"Young Master Lu, I am Chen Hongsheng from Yonghui Law Firm. I have prepared a financial plan for you."

"oh--"

Lu Jie seemed to suddenly realize something.

Chen Hongsheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

It's me, it's me, it's definitely me, Young Master Lu, I recognize you!

"I don't know him," Lu Jie finally said.

Chen Hongsheng froze on the spot, his face full of embarrassment.

Xu Linwei almost couldn't help but laugh at this scene.

Liu Min's face turned slightly pale, feeling utterly humiliated.

Lu Jie said, "Brother Yi, let's talk in my office. I'll arrange a presidential suite for you and your wife tonight."

"Alright, let's go, let's have a good chat today, brother."

Chen Yi was in high spirits.

The two got up and walked out the door chatting and laughing, and Luo Jia followed them.

Xu Linwei said to Liu Min, "Liu Min, thank you so much for your hospitality today. I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow."

Liu Min paused for a moment.

"No, no!"

He stood up quickly and said, "I'm a bit busy tomorrow, let's talk later. I suddenly have something urgent to attend to, so I'll have to go now. I'll contact you later."

Then he picked up his bag and quickly walked out of the private room.

Chen Hongsheng quickly followed him out.

Xu Linwei frowned slightly; today's reunion with her old friend was not very pleasant.

Where is the problem?

She had already reminded her husband to keep a low profile, but it still provoked her old classmate.

It's so frustrating!

Her husband's wealth simply doesn't allow her to keep a low profile!

She also left the room and followed Chen Yi.

The four of them went up to the eighth floor and entered a huge, luxurious office.

The secretary served tea, and the four of them took their seats.

"Why did you start a hotel?" Chen Yi asked with a smile.

"There's nothing I can do. My dad gave me three billion to practice in business. I don't know anything about it, so I'll just open a hotel. I can just hire an expert to manage it. Don't you think my dad is being unreasonable?"

Lu Jie shrugged, looking utterly helpless.

Look, is this even human language?

Chen Yi really wanted to go up and slap him twice across the face.

"If you keep acting cocky, I'll give you a good beating!"

"Hehe, Brother Yi, I wasn't bragging, I really was crying and making a scene." Lu Jie looked aggrieved. "Thirty billion! You have no idea how much pressure I'm under."

Chen Yi was speechless: "Get lost!"

"Brother Yi, what brings you to Beijing this time?" Lu Jie asked again.

Chen Yi said, "My wife's company produces cosmetics and wants to cooperate with Wanlian Group, so I came here to discuss it. I happen to be attending a medical seminar."

"Just tell me if you need anything. I don't know much about business, but my dad has a lot of connections and might be able to help."

Lu Jie readily agreed.

Xu Linwei and Luo Jia were already chatting enthusiastically, the two women laughing heartily.

Xu Linwei naturally couldn't resist promoting her cosmetics, which made Luo Jia so happy that her eyes sparkled.

After chatting for a while, Lu Jie said, "Brother Yi, I have something to do at home tonight, so I won't keep you company. I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow."

"What is it?" Chen Yi asked.

"It's a bit strange to talk about this."

Lu Jie's eyes lit up, and he leaned closer to Chen Yi,

"My uncle passed away three days ago, and my family is still grieving when a Taoist priest came and shocked everyone with his supernatural powers."

The Taoist priest said he could bring my uncle back to life. He's performing a ritual tonight, and all his blood relatives must be present.

Ok?

A glint flashed in Chen Yi's eyes.

It's been three days, can it still be resurrected?

You must be joking.

If a person dies within three hours, their spirit departs to heaven, and even a god cannot save them.

To be able to bring someone back to life after three days, this Taoist priest is quite interesting.

"Take me to see it, shall we?"

Chen Yi seemed quite gossipy as he spoke.

"No problem, there are a lot of people tonight, who will know who you are."

After discussing it, the four of them went out and drove away from the hotel.

Night had fallen, and cars weaved through the dazzling neon lights of Beijing.

Finally, we entered an old town area, filled with traditional courtyard houses.

The car was parked at the entrance of a courtyard.

The vermilion wooden gate was very tall, with white silk hanging on it.

The four people got out of the car and walked straight into the gate.

Lu Jie said, "This used to be the residence of Prince Duan of the Qing Dynasty. My maternal grandfather bought it and it was passed down to my uncle."

This mansion is indeed magnificent, even larger than Chen Yi's mansion.

The pavilions and towers are arranged in a well-organized manner.

Walking into the backyard, there were many people inside, all of them close relatives.

The entire backyard was brightly lit, yet it exuded a somber and oppressive atmosphere.

After all, a loved one had just passed away, and everyone was heavy-hearted.

Lu Jie went to the mourning hall, lit incense, and knelt down to kowtow three times.

A woman in her fifties stood beside the mourning hall, while a young man in his thirties and two children knelt beside her.

Behind them were seven or eight women kneeling, ranging in age from their twenties to their forties.

And a group of children.

"Aunt, Cousin, please accept my condolences!" Lu Jie said in a deep voice.

The woman standing there was Lu Jie's aunt, Xiao Yinhong, and his cousin, Lin Mo.

Then he came back and sat with Chen Yi in the corner, eating sunflower seeds.

Chen Yi asked, "Does your uncle have so many daughters?"

"What daughters? They're all concubines," Lu Jie said with a smile.

Ah!

Chen Yi and Xu Linwei were both stunned.
