I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

Meanwhile, the entire building was designed by a renowned architect, and its exterior is very impressive, while its interior has an excellent feng shui layout.

Chen Sheng had never been inside Fushou Hall before, and once inside, he couldn't help but marvel at it.

As people entered the house one after another, Chen Sheng dared not breathe. Fortunately, none of them paid any attention to him, a son-in-law. He stood there awkwardly, his mind wandering.

Almost everyone had arrived, but no one dared to sit down. Finally, Old Mrs. Yu, along with Gao Jinliang, Li Siqing, and Lu Ningna, arrived last, and the noise in the room subsided.

With a beaming smile, Grandma Yu said, "If Grandpa doesn't want to come, then I'll take charge. Second brother, why don't you sit down?"

The second master walked up dejectedly and sat down in the spot indicated by Old Madam Yu.

She then pointed to several older people, filling up the upper half of the seats, with Chen Sheng sitting at the very end. Then she added:

“Young children, dinner isn’t served yet, and you’re all too restless to sit still. Go play in the side room for a bit, and we’ll call you when dinner is ready.”

Upon hearing this, she pushed Lu Ningna, who then followed the group of young men to the side hall.

She had just gotten home when she was suddenly notified that she was to have lunch together. She was still a little dizzy and didn't look closely at the people around her.

The person walking in front of her felt both strange and familiar from behind. Strange because she couldn't match him to any of her relatives, and familiar because she felt like she had seen him somewhere before.

However, Fu Shou Tang had many rules, and she was too embarrassed to walk quickly forward and then turn around to see who was in front of her; that would be too impolite.

Once they left Fushou Hall, the person in front suddenly turned around, saw Lu Ningna, and smiled slightly at her.

Lu Ningna's eyes widened immediately.

"It's...it's you?"

Chen Ya reached out and pinched her chin, squeezing her mouth into the shape of a fish, opening and closing, but she couldn't speak.

"It's me. What's wrong? Did you miss me?"

The girl's face flushed slightly. She forcefully pulled her hand away from his, took two steps back, stomped her foot, and frowned, secretly annoyed.

"How did you get into my house?"

Chen Ya turned around and saw that everyone in front had left and no one behind was paying attention to them, so he casually put his arm around the girl's shoulder and said:

“I don’t need to infiltrate your family; I am already a member of the Lu family.”

Lu Ningna's eyes widened even more: "Who are you to be considered one of my family members? Don't talk nonsense, I've never seen you before!"

Chapter 224 Lu Qingxuan

"Where are you from the Lu family? I've never seen you before!" Lu Ningna glared at Chen Ya, making a fuss as a terrible possibility came to mind.

"You've come to my house again, clearly because...because..."

Although the girl had been troubled lately, with someone's image constantly appearing in her mind, the fact that this person was now standing in front of her made her feel as if she were in a dream.

However, faced with the choice between her family's future and her own feelings, she chose to be more principled.

She now strongly suspects that Chen Ya is an undercover agent who came here to cause more trouble for the Lu family.

Before she could finish speaking, Chen Ya pinched her mouth into a fish-mouth shape, making it open and close repeatedly.

"Why? To see you. Do you think I enjoy meeting these scions of wealthy families? They annoy me."

Chen Ya's words made Lu Ningna feel wronged, and her eyes even welled up with tears.

Lu Ningna was dressed in all black today. She wore a Letmoe Chanel-style tweed jacket on top and a basic black pleated skirt on the bottom, paired with Balenciaga sheer black tights. Her sparkling crystal earrings swayed on her earlobes. She looked mature and elegant, and you could tell at a glance that she was a princess from a wealthy family.

However, the girl's expression at this moment was as if she had encountered her nemesis. She tried to shoot out anger with her eyes, just like Cyclops in X-Men, and sweep lasers at the man in front of her.

No one had ever been so rude to me in my entire life. Only this man in front of me would dare to do such a thing.

While pinching the girl's chin, he actually made a comment:

"Have you gained a little weight recently? Your chubby cheeks feel so nice to pinch."

"You are incredibly rude."

Lu Ningna shook off his hand, took two quick steps back, stared at Chen Ya, and then quickly lowered her head to rub her face.

My face feels hot.

Chen Ya lowered his voice and said, "I didn't come here to deal with your family. I just came to have some fun."

Lu Ningna felt wronged.

Play? Come to my house to play?

Do you want to see what my house has become because of you?

Looking into the girl's eyes, Chen Ya seemed to guess what she was thinking, and smiled:

"Don't look at me like that. I was just following orders. Besides, if your parents hadn't done anything wrong, why would they have been locked up?"

Lu Ningna said quite seriously, "If I really hated you, I would have called the guards in by now."

The girl pointed to the door and said, word by word, "I don't hate you, but Fushou Hall is of great significance to my Lu family. You are not welcome here. Please leave."

Chen Ya didn't take her words to heart at all, looking like he had her completely under his thumb.

Whenever Lu Ningna saw that expression on his face, she would feel incredibly angry.

He put his arm around her shoulder and whispered, "Come with me."

After saying that, he pulled her all the way to the entrance of the main hall, stood by the door, pointed to Chen Sheng inside, and said:

"Do you see that person inside? That person is my biological father."

At this moment, Chen Sheng was sitting at the table, listening nervously to the people next to him chatting, looking completely bewildered.

He had never received such honor in his life. He seemed to be listening to the people around him, but his mind was already wandering to the order in which the toasts should be made later.

Lu Ningna glanced at Chen Sheng and glared at him, saying, "Are you kidding me?"

"Would a normal person casually claim someone as their father as a joke?" Chen Ya shrugged. "Even though there's no real affection involved, objectively speaking, that's certainly the case."

Looking at his expression, which didn't seem fake, Lu Ningna was shocked, but then she began to believe him.

"Are you really Chen Sheng's son?" Lu Ningna blinked.

"Yes, you know him?"

Lu Ningna nodded and said, "He is Aunt Lu Ruixiang's husband, and he is quite famous in the Lu family. It's just... not a good one."

Chen Ya nodded: "I can imagine."

In reality, Chen Sheng's reputation in the Lu family was far more than the girl described so lightly.

To put it mildly, people don't like this person; to put it more bluntly, they see him as a clown.

Lu Ningna suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction, the satisfaction of successfully taking revenge, even though her revenge was somewhat insignificant.

However, after the brief moment of pleasure, she felt a pang of guilt.

When she was younger and didn't know any better, she would sometimes make fun of Chen Sheng while chatting with those uncles and elders.

If she had known that person was Chen Ya's father, she definitely wouldn't have made fun of him like that.

Thinking of this, Lu Ningna shook her head, as if trying to shake the thoughts out of her mind.

How can you sympathize with someone who is your family's enemy?

She stared at Chen Ya, trying to make an angry expression, but she wasn't very successful.

"How have you been lately?" Chen Ya asked casually.

“It’s not good. The uncles and elders who used to treat me so well are all like different people now, and my grandmother is terribly strict.” Lu Ningna sighed. “The family has lost its former charm.”

Although she had just been trying to educate herself about hatred, once Chen Ya asked her a question, she opened up and her hard-won defenses crumbled on their own.

Chen Ya nodded and said, "It's obvious. You used to be the apple of the Lu family patriarch's eye, but now you're just a monster who eats up the family's resources and is a stumbling block on their path to controlling the Lu family."

Lu Ningna was taken aback, and said blankly, "You think too badly of people."

The elders never revealed their concerns about the Lu family to her, and Lu Ningna was still completely unaware that she was being put on the spot.

Chen Ya picked at his ear: "Pay attention, you'll gradually realize I'm right. I don't have the energy to argue with you now. By the way, who was that really pretty girl just now?"

Upon hearing Chen Ya's question, the girl's face immediately turned cold: "That's Lu Qingxuan. Why are you asking this?"

"Lu Qingxuan, she's Lu Yuanbao's daughter, right?"

Lu Ningna pursed her lips and said:

"Her father is the president of the Fenshui Chamber of Commerce. The number of people pursuing her ranges from the president of the Elite Student Union to the counselor at the American Consulate. The line is longer than the line at the Jianwei Milk Tea Shop. I advise you not to even think about her. You have no chance."

She kept staring at Chen Ya's expression as she spoke, but Chen Ya ignored what she was thinking and continued to ask:

Who is that man next to her?

"Are you asking about the younger one? That's Lu Liangchen, Uncle Hongtai's son."

"Lu Hongtai is the second master's son, which means Lu Liangchen is the second master's grandson, right?"

“Hmm,” Lu Ningna nodded, then couldn’t help but ask again, “What exactly do you want to do?”

"It's nothing," Chen Ya said with a smile. "As a member of the Lu family, is it alright for me to get to know my own relatives?"

“No problem…” Lu Ningna lowered her head.

"And what about the last man? The older one?"

“That’s Chai Xian, from my great-grandmother’s side.”

Chen Ya nodded and didn't say anything more.

He had been investigating the Lu family for some time.

Through Haiya and Aihua's channels, Liulizi collected a lot of information for him. He glanced at some of it but didn't have time to look at it in detail.

But I vaguely remember those people I just mentioned.

Understanding the relationships between this person can be helpful to his plans.

Speak of the devil, and he appears! As the two were chatting, Chai Xian suddenly poked his head out from the side hall door and shouted:

"Ningna, what are you talking about with that person? It's still early before you leave the table, come and sit with us for a while."

Lu Ningna nodded, then turned to Chen Ya and said, "Shall we go together?"

The two entered the side hall together, where Lu Qingxuan and Lu Liangchen were already seated and watching them.

"Young Miss, what are you two talking about that makes you so happy?"

A pleasant, clear, and gentle voice spoke softly.

Chen Ya looked at the person who was speaking and saw that the woman had her long legs crossed over her other leg, holding a cup of tea in her hand, and looking at the two of them with a cold expression.

Her nose was high and straight, and her hair was as black and smooth as clouds. She was beautiful, but what was even more striking was her temperament—pure, refined, and otherworldly, giving her an air of otherworldly elegance.

She was wearing a green wool coat, and her long legs were tightly encased in black leather knee-high boots. Even sitting there, you could tell that her legs were incredibly long.

This woman was Lu Qingxuan.

Lu Ningna sat down with a blush on her face and said, "We didn't talk about anything, but you guys seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation just now."

Lu Qingxuan spoke in a clear, ethereal voice, devoid of any hint of worldly warmth:

"We were talking about you two. How come you and this unfamiliar face get along so well? Did you know each other before?"

Lu Ningna's heart tightened. She sensed that Lu Qingxuan had discovered something, but she wasn't sure, so she stammered and changed the subject:

"This...this is Aunt Lu Ruixiang's son, Uncle Chen Sheng's son. Have you met him before?"

Lu Liangchen was a handsome man, somewhat resembling a movie star. He stared at Chen Ya and said:

"I've never seen it, but I've heard of it."

“I’ve seen the photos Lu Shaohai posted in the group,” Lu Qingxuan said. “They’re very unique.”

Lu Qingxuan put it rather subtly, but in reality, the entire group was mocking Chen Ya for pretending to be a model with a chicken feather stuck in his hair.

At the time, Chen Ya was buying a Patek Philippe watch, and Lu Shaohai shared his photo in his small group chat.

It now appears that Lu Qingxuan was also in that group.

I just don't know if anyone in the group knows about Lu Shaohai kneeling down later.

Judging from Lu Qingxuan's reaction, she probably didn't know.

Coincidentally, Chen Ya wasn't wearing his Patek Philippe watch today.
