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

"Are you sure you're not confusing what you're saying with things like 'domineering CEO'?" the Witch Lord asked.

“Yeah, earning 100 million a week is a bit outrageous. Did Chen Ya say that himself, or did you see it with your own eyes? It can’t be that you found it out when you were checking the accounts, right?” Xia Yingji chimed in from the side.

He figured Chen Ya was just bragging. He chuckled inwardly, thinking the girl had no concept of entrepreneurship; making hundreds of millions wasn't so easy.

Liu Ruying glanced at him, took out her phone, tapped something on it with her fingers, and then handed it to him to show him.

On the screen was a long string of numbers.

"What is this?" the shaman asked.

“My current bank savings,” Liu Ruying said coldly, “are what Chen Ya helped me earn during this time; this is the dividend he gave me.”

The shaman's jaw dropped, and Xia Yingji quickly came over, trying to count how many digits were in the bank account.

Liu Ruying deftly put her phone away.

I didn't see exactly how many digits there were, but there were definitely a lot.

It definitely exceeds ten million.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ruying is now not only a campus beauty, but also an unsung millionaire at Peking University.

The two boys looked up at Liu Ruying and swallowed hard.

Lu Qianzi frowned, ignoring the two's inner thoughts, and crossed her legs to the side, pondering, before saying:

"Actually, I just calculated that neither of us has spent the most time with him these past few days."

Liu Ruying looked at her: "What do you mean?"

“These past few days, someone has been going out with him every few days,” Lu Qianzi said. “And after he goes out with someone, he comes back very late, or he doesn’t come back at all at night, and he never says what he went to do when he comes back.”

Liu Ruying suddenly felt as if a block of ice had fallen into the area below her heart and above her stomach, causing her great discomfort.

"You mean... that Xia You?" Liu Ruying asked.

She could tell that the girl named Xia You had a good relationship with Chen Ya.

On the surface, their interactions seem like those of ordinary friends, but subtle signs indicate that their feelings for each other have definitely exceeded the bounds of normal relationships.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qianzi shook her head.

"No, it's not Xia You, it's my outstanding cousin, Lu Qingxuan."

Liu Ruying thought for a moment, then said, "It seems that's indeed the case."

Lu Qianzi smiled and said, "Look, now we have two clues."

"Which two?"

“One is the relationship between Chen Ya and Bei Chen,” Lu Qianzi said. “If Chen Ya has a lot of influence in Bei Chen, then he must have some connection with the Three Heroes of Bei Chen. There should be some information about the Three Heroes of Bei Chen in Eagle’s Nest. Hey, do you have any?”

Wu Zun was kicked and quickly nodded, saying, "Yes, yes, when the seniors started their businesses, some of their personal belongings, notebooks, and even files were left in the Eagle's Nest safe. The key is currently in Liu Xiaohua's hands."

Lu Qianzi wondered, "How did the key end up in Ruying's hands?"

The Witch Lord shrugged: "How would I know? I was stunned when she came with the key too."

Liu Ruying was taken aback, then asked, "Is your combination lock box very important?"

Xia Yingji leaned over and said, "It's very important. According to our predecessors, it represents the accumulation and history of Eagle's Nest. It can almost be said to be the symbol of Eagle's Nest."

Liu Ruying was taken aback: "Chen Ya gave me the key casually, so it's something that important?"

The group exchanged glances.

It's Chen Ya again.

Suppressing her excitement, Lu Qianzi said, "That means Chen Ya and the Eagle's Nest Three Heroes are definitely connected! Let's look at the Eagle's Nest Three Heroes' records; maybe we can find something related to Chen Ya!"

Liu Ruying nodded, her heart pounding, and she couldn't help but feel a little excited.

In addition, some strange thoughts were swirling in her mind: Why would Chen Ya casually give her such an important key?

When he handed it over to me, I wasn't even that familiar with him yet.

Thinking of this, Liu Ruying forcibly pulled herself back from her reverie and asked again:

"Qianzi, you just said there were two clues, what's the other one?"

Lu Qianzi laughed and said, "There's another one, isn't it my outstanding cousin? Ask her, maybe she knows a lot about Chen Ya."

……

……

At Guihe Manor, Lu Qingxuan was sitting in the Shanyan Hall, listening listlessly to her younger brother Lu Xiaojie's report.

“The Xia family and the Qin family have confirmed they’re coming. The Wu family also made a statement a few days ago. The Gu family is still uncertain,” Lu Xiaojie said. “However, I don’t think they’ll come. After all, our family has a grudge against them. If they really come, we don’t know what to do.”

Lu Qingxuan snorted: "What to do? Just let it be. Don't bother thinking about what to do, they won't come."

The two were currently checking how many prominent families would be attending Old Master Lu's birthday celebration. They were arranging the seating.

She had been increasingly favored by her great-grandmother these days, so her great-grandmother had entrusted her with all the matters, but she found it boring.

It would be better to go shopping with Chen Ya again.

Thinking of Chen Ya, Lu Qingxuan's expression suddenly turned sour. She shook her head, as if trying to shake the person out of her mind.

I thought of him again.

I don't know why, but lately I keep thinking about Chen Ya for no reason. It's like my brain has grown legs and can run away on its own. I'm thinking about completely unrelated things, but as soon as it wanders, it wanders to Chen Ya.

Everyone has their overthinking moments. At first, Lu Qingxuan didn't pay attention to this phenomenon in herself. But one day, she suddenly felt that it wasn't appropriate for her to keep thinking about a grown man like this, so she started to pay attention to how many times she thought about Chen Ya every day.

As a result, it was fine if I didn't pay attention, but the more I paid attention, the more easily I thought of Chen Ya. Before I knew it, I would think of Chen Ya at least seventeen or eighteen times a day while eating and drinking.

This made her feel very uncomfortable.

Lu Xiaojie had gotten used to seeing Lu Qingxuan's expression.

My sister has been acting strangely these days; she seems a bit absent-minded.

"elder sister?"

Lu Qingxuan only came to her senses after Lu Xiaojie waved his hand in front of her face for a long time.

"What's wrong? Keep going. I'm listening." Lu Qingxuan yawned. "The important thing isn't which families will come, but which people will come."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaojie seemed to want to share his sister's burden and said with a smile, "By the way, it seems the Qin family wants to send Qin Yunchu over. Sister, haven't you always admired her?"

"Qin Yun Chu?"

Lu Qingxuan's body stiffened.

Chapter 270 The Brocade Zither Has Fifty Strings for No Reason

Lu Qingxuan couldn't be said to idolize Qin Yunchu; from a more accurate perspective, she "yearned for" or "longed for" Qin Yunchu.

In a more Japanese way of putting it, she had always admired Qin Yunchu.

As an elite child of the Lu family, raised as the direct descendant, the name of the outstanding daughter of the Qin family next door often came to her ears.

Even after taking over as the vice president of Hongtu, she was still able to handle things with ease, appearing on television and showing no fear even when sharing the stage with top stars like Jiang Xinhai and Xu Xiangxiao. As the heir of the Qin family, she has already exceeded expectations.

If Lu Qingxuan had a slight competitive spirit when she was young, that spirit has completely disappeared now.

One is the undisputed heir of the powerful Qin family, and the other is herself, whose fate is uncertain even for the crumbling Lu family. It can be said that Qin Yun Chu possesses something that Lu Qing Xuan cannot obtain: her idealized version of herself.

Therefore, Lu Xiaojie said that Lu Qingxuan "admires" Qin Yunchu. It can be said that most people in Guihe Manor are aware of her subtle feelings for Qin Yunchu.

"If Qin Yunchu is coming, then let's arrange for her to stay here..." Lu Qingxuan picked up the bill, and the eldest daughter of the Qin family had arranged a safe spot for her. "Here, please."

Lu Xiaojie glanced at it and chuckled: "The seat of honor? Doesn't that involve a bit of personal sentiment?"

“How could that be?” Lu Qingxuan rolled her eyes at her younger brother. “Of the three great families, the Gu family won’t be here. The Xia family is coming, and Old Master Lu has already specified that they want to sit with him. So the Qin family will naturally be seated at the head of the table.”

Lu Xiaojie glanced at the order form and said, "Hey, sis, how about you seat me next to Qin Yunchu?"

Lu Qingxuan looked up from the top of the billboard, glanced at him, and said, "What do you want to do? You shouldn't be sitting at that table next to me."

“I’ll sit at that table and keep the guests company,” Lu Xiaojie said with a grin. “Besides, this opportunity might allow me to get to know Qin Yunchu. Who knows, I might even manage to win her over?”

"Take it down? What kind of bee saliva did you eat to have such a sweet dream?"

"Tsk, sis, do you really look down on your little brother like that?"

Lu Qingxuan unleashed her full arrogance: "It's not that I look down on you, it's that I utterly despise you. You think you can win over Qin Yun Chu? What does Qin Yun Chu see in you? Your wishful thinking or your big mouth? You're like Sun Wukong entering the Peach Garden, dreaming of peaches!"

Lu Xiaojie retorted, "I'm humorous and witty! And I even have abs. How many people in the Lu family are as disciplined as me?"

Lu Qingxuan looked disgusted: "Come on, you should keep your two poor abs to yourself. Don't embarrass the Lu family. Besides, there's someone in the Lu family whose abs are much more defined than yours."

She blurted out those words, then realized something was wrong and quickly shut her mouth.

However, Lu Xiaojie had already realized that something was wrong.

"Hey sis, whose abs are more defined than mine?"

"Why are you meddling in my business?" Lu Qingxuan said rudely.

Lu Xiaojie stood up, moved closer to Lu Qingxuan, and shoved her around: "Who is it, sister? Is there anyone in our Lu family who can sculpt abs better than me? Who is this person? I don't know them at all."

Lu Qingxuan lowered her head and did not answer, so Lu Xiaojie began to goad her, saying, "Ha, I know, you must have said that on purpose to provoke me. There is no such person at all."

He knew Lu Qingxuan's temper well and knew that she would definitely not be able to hold back if he said that. Sure enough, Lu Qingxuan immediately fell for it and said:

“Who says there aren’t? Chen Ya, the new guy at your Aunt Lu Ruixiang’s house, has eight-pack abs, with clearly defined lines.”

"Chen Ya?" Lu Xiaojie was surprised to hear this and pressed for details, "Is he the one they said was adopted from a rural area through random family reunification? He even has eight-pack abs?"

"you do not say."

Lu Xiaojie shook his head and said, "No, sis, how do you know he has eight-pack abs? You and him..."

Lu Qingxuan interrupted him, saying, "Don't overthink it. I just took Qi Yunche with me to the hot springs last time. That's all I saw then."

Lu Xiaojie tried to glean something from his sister's eyes, but unfortunately, he couldn't. Slightly relieved, he bent his elbow and said:

"Even if he has eight-pack abs, he's no match for me. He's just a poor kid from the countryside; he can't compare to me."

Lu Qingxuan scoffed, "What version of information have you been listening to? He's far more outstanding than you. Even Great-Grandma likes him very much. The gap between you and him is too big; there's simply no comparison."

Lu Xiaojie felt extremely wronged: "Sister, how can you use an outsider to attack your own brother like this?"

"It's just being realistic." Lu Qingxuan tucked her hair behind her ear. "To be honest, you should give up on this ridiculous idea of ​​pursuing Qin Yun Chu. The gap between the Lu family and the Qin family is too big now. No matter how outstanding you are, they won't even look at you. The only reason they came this time is because of the old master."

Lu Qingxuan's words were quite clear-headed, but Lu Xiaojie was still immersed in the past glory of the Lu family, so he only vaguely understood what she was saying and thought his sister was being too pessimistic.

Lu Qingxuan paused for a moment, then said, "If there is only one person in our Lu family who can win Qin Yunchu's heart, it might be... Chen Ya."

"Huh? Why? Why is that? Because he has better abs?"

Lu Xiaojie immediately stood up, but Lu Qingxuan didn't explain; she just turned her head away.

She didn't understand why she had such a thought. She just thought of it and blurted it out.

Given Chen Ya's status as Jiang Lizhi's boss, if he were to jump a little higher, he would indeed be a match for someone like Qin Yun Chu. Among men of the same age, apart from a few exceptionally talented families, she couldn't think of anyone as outstanding as Chen Ya, qualified to be worthy of Qin Yun Chu.

"Fortunately...fortunately, Chen Ya comes from a poor family..." Lu Qingxuan couldn't help but think.

Then she snapped out of her daze: "Fortunately what? What's so 'fortunate' about this? Why would I think that? Do I think he's not that great, so he's a good match for me? How could I possibly think that?"

Lu Qingxuan became nervous; even she herself couldn't quite understand her wild thoughts.

I'm going through a volatile period, probably because I've been too busy lately and my hormones are out of balance. I need to take good care of myself.

"You finish arranging the orders here first, I'll come back and review them. I'm going to the gym." Lu Qingxuan stood up.

Lu Xiaojie looked up blankly: "Huh? Going to the gym now? Why do you suddenly want to go to the gym?"

"Never mind that."

……

"Actually, I feel that Xia You and Chen Ya are quite familiar with each other, and I feel that they knew each other before."

Inside the Eagle's Nest, Liu Ruying was still discussing Chen Ya's situation with Lu Qianzi.

“She should know something, but I’m not familiar with her at all, and it doesn’t seem like I can say anything to her.” Lu Qianzi frowned.

Having had little contact with Xia You, this girl always seemed cold and distant to everyone except Chen Ya, even to Lu Qianzi, who was also a girl.

Lu Qianzi lacked confidence that she could get anything out of her.
