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

……

Although Miao Aoxue was lucky enough to hook up with Li Jiayi of the Xuanyuan Chamber of Commerce, she was still not qualified to be part of the elite circles and did not deserve to sit at Lu Qingxuan's table.

When they returned to the table, there were now quite a few more people there, including Xia You, who had an unruly look but was dressed like a character from Alice in Wonderland, and Wang Shaoxian from the Wang family.

This young master was behaving himself at the moment, just sitting with his legs crossed, playing on his phone, chatting with some internet celebrity, a smile on his face.

Lu Qingxuan nodded to Xia You as a greeting, and then sat down next to Liu Ruying.

"How is it?" Liu Ruying asked softly.

“I’ve found out a lot of things, but… I can’t tell you,” Lu Qingxuan said with a wry smile, “after all, it involves Chen Ya’s privacy.”

Upon hearing the name "Chen Ya," Xia You's ears twitched slightly.

"Chen Ya? What happened to Chen Ya?"

Lu Qianzi's voice came from behind. Xia You turned around and saw Lu Qianzi walking over with Chen Hai.

When Chen Hai saw Xia You, he almost couldn't breathe again.

Xia You had dressed up a bit today, and her looks were extremely attractive to young men, especially Chen Hai, who had never seen her before.

Lu Qingxuan stared at them, and Lu Qianzi quickly introduced him to Liu Ruying and the others: "This is my brother Chen Hai."

Liu Ruying blinked and said, "Is this your other brother?"

"correct."

"Is he older, or is Chen Ya older?"

“Chen Ya is a bit older, he’s the second oldest, and I’m the third oldest, hehe.” Lu Qianzi introduced with her hands behind her back.

Lu Qingxuan stared at Chen Hai, her eyes slowly narrowing.

You see, she had just heard a lot about Chen Ya's childhood from Chen Chi, and she still had a deep impression of Chen Hai.

And it wasn't a good impression either.

For some reason, Chen Hai felt a faint glow on the back of his neck, as if there was a murderous aura. He secretly glanced at Lu Qingxuan and found that she was indeed staring at him fiercely.

Completely bewildered, he was so frightened that he quickly turned his head away, unable to look at her.

This witch from the Lu family has a notorious reputation, and seeing her today, she is indeed domineering. But he's never seen her before, so why does she look so fierce?

Lu Qianzi, with her hands behind her back, asked with a smile, "I heard Qin Yunchu is coming today? Is that true?"

Liu Ruying nodded: "Yes, I heard it from Qingxuan."

"That's Qin Yun Chu! I've only seen her on TV before. She has such a great presence and is so beautiful," Lu Qianzi said casually. "I'm really looking forward to seeing her in person."

Liu Ruying smiled and said, "You're not the only one who wants to see me; I want to see you too."

“I also want to ask her what it’s like to personally experience JX’s music archives,” Lu Qianzi said, her brows furrowing slightly as she thought of this. “It’s a pity that it’s under protection and not open to the public yet. I really want to experience it for myself.”

Since the book "A Poetic Life" became a hit, JX's music archive has become a very popular tourist attraction, but unfortunately, it has not been opened to the public yet.

That place has been protected by the relevant authorities, and it's said to be under strict 24-hour security. They say they're building a music complex around the museum, but it's actually not open to the public.

Thinking about it, the country's actions make sense. JX's behavior is like rubbing the global music scene in the ground, and I wonder how many people are envious and want to sabotage it.

If it's not protected, someone might sabotage it and destroy the treasures inside.

Not only was the museum sealed off, but the people of that village were also relocated.

Since the show aired, many people have been making pilgrimages to that mountain village to explore JX's childhood, much to the annoyance of the local inhabitants.

Among these signs, what puzzled Lu Qianzi the most was that the rebroadcast of that episode of "Poetic Life" seemed to be different from the live broadcast, with many key segments being cut out.

For example, she searched the entire internet but couldn't find a single screenshot of JX's mother and sister appearing on screen.

However, this protection of JX's identity only fueled her desire to learn more about JX, a desire that reached its peak upon learning that she would be able to meet Qin Yun Chu in person.

Perhaps Qin Yun Chu, who had seen the collection in person, knew something—that's what she thought.

“JX?” Upon hearing Lu Qianzi’s words, Lu Qingxuan, who was good at grasping the key points, frowned.

"How can a member of the Lu family like JX?" was her catchphrase. She always kept a tight rein on matters of the mind.

However, because she was not familiar with Lu Qianzi, she did not make a scene on the spot.

“Not only is Qin Yunchu coming, but I heard Gu Yuqing is coming too,” Liu Ruying said. “The thought of sitting at the same table with these people makes me… a little excited.”

While they were chatting, a commotion broke out at the entrance of the main hall.

From word of mouth and the commotion, the crowd gleaned a message:

Qin Yun Chu has arrived.

Chapter 284 Gu Yuqing also came

Chen Hai suddenly felt his heart racing. He was overwhelmed by a mix of emotions: his thoughts were racing, his heart was pounding, and his heart was racing. This feeling almost knocked him over.

He began to wonder why he didn't keep quick-acting heart medicine on hand. If he had, he would have already taken large doses by now, which would have reduced the probability of sudden death by at least 50%.

Qin Yunchu walked gracefully toward him.

Her slightly curled hair clung to her exquisite, flawless face, and her expressionless countenance was as cold and aloof as an iceberg. Upon seeing her, one could immediately tell that this woman would treat anyone with cold indifference.

However, this aloofness and coldness, like a snow lotus on a mountaintop, possessed a dangerous allure, and Chen Hai was captivated the moment he saw her.

He had admired this beautiful face countless times through a screen before, but none of them had ever captivated or shocked him as much as this one glance today.

Qin Yun Chu, the woman who only existed on the screen and in his dreams, has now truly descended before him.

His mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water, as if he wanted to say something, but the words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't say anything.

He wasn't the only one behaving this way; many members of the Lu family didn't behave much better after seeing Qin Yun Chu.

Qin Yun Chu is a beauty, but unlike the beauties you can easily find in bars and nightclubs, she is a true princess.

She will definitely inherit the Qin family business in the future. She has been able to gain a foothold in this huge company, Hongtu, and she will surely become a giant in the future.

If I could marry her, I could say I'd reached the end of my life.

At another table, Li Jiayi, the eldest son of the Xuanyuan Chamber of Commerce, scrutinized Qin Yunchu and whispered:

"Everyone says that Miss Qin Yun Chu of the Qin family is beautiful and aloof. I only know it after seeing her today. Seeing is believing."

Miao Aoxue, standing beside him, said sourly, "What? Want to get to know each other?"

Li Jiayi turned to look at her and smiled, "Of course I want to get to know her. Qin Yun Chu is the eldest daughter of the Qin family and also the vice president of Hongtu Company. She has a lot of power in the company. Getting to know her would be a great help to business."

Miao Aoxue pursed her lips: "You're quick to smooth things over, so I won't pursue this further."

After saying that, Miao Aoxue, with a hint of jealousy, continued to look in Qin Yunchu's direction.

Even if she was very confident, she wouldn't dare to act up in front of Qin Yun Chu.

If Qin Yun Chu really wanted to compete with someone, there wouldn't be many women in the world who could beat her.

Not far away, Grandma Yu and Committee Member Gao sat together, secretly observing this direction.

"Qin Yunchu really came," Committee Member Gao said softly.

Great-grandmother nodded.

Although the Qin family had been invited beforehand and had agreed on the surface, it was still uncertain whether Qin Yun Chu would come in person until the very end.

The fact that the Qin family's chosen successor is different from any other member of the Qin family means that the Lu family still wields considerable influence.

It can be said that her personal visit is itself a statement, and that in public everyone can see that "the Lu family has invited Qin Yunchu," which is quite important to the Lu family.

Seeing her idol Qin Yun Chu slowly approaching, Lu Qingxuan was only slightly stunned before immediately going to greet him.

"Miss Qin, welcome." Lu Qingxuan bowed slightly and said to her.

Qin Yunchu's bright eyes scanned her face for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Thank you. May I ask who you are?"

"My name is Lu Qingxuan."

"You are very beautiful. May I ask where the old man is? I need to go and pay my respects to him."

Being praised by her idol made Lu Qingxuan blush slightly, but she still said humbly and confidently, "Please come with me."

She walked quickly, leading Qin Yunchu all the way to her great-grandmother's house.

Qin Yun Chu's identity is special, and her every move is being watched by countless eyes. Naturally, those eyes will also be on Lu Qing Xuan, and she dares not make the slightest mistake.

She used to be someone who stood out in front of others, and back then she was always at ease and never felt any pressure. But today, she does feel the pressure.

Only then did Lu Qingxuan realize that the pressure she had been under was not on the same level as the pressure Qin Yunchu was under.

After bringing the person to her great-grandmother, the old lady smiled kindly and greeted Qin Yun Chu first:

"Yun Chu, do you still remember me? The last time I saw you, you were just a little kid."

Qin Yunchu nodded politely: "Grandma, of course I remember you. My dad asked me to give you his regards. He's on a business trip abroad and can't come today, so he asked me to apologize to Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu."

Grandma Yu smiled even more kindly: "It's alright, it's alright, it's good that you're here. I was just saying last time I saw you, you were such a little kid, and now you've grown up so much, and so beautiful and poised. Do you have a boyfriend?"

Qin Yun Chu shook her head: "Not yet. I don't want to deal with personal matters for the time being; I want to focus on my work first."

The old lady said, "Work is important, but life is also important. Or rather, life is a more important part of life. You are still young. When you reach my age, you will understand."

Qin Yunchu asked, "Where is Grandpa Lu? I'd like to say hello to him."

Great-Grandma's expression changed, and she said, "I don't know where he went. He probably won't come until the birthday banquet officially begins."

Qin Yunchu nodded politely, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then took her leave of her great-grandmother.

Lu Qingxuan stood by the side the whole time, like a hostess, with a professional smile on her face, her face was almost sore from smiling.

After the two finished talking, she led Qin Yunchu to her seat.

The moment Qin Yun Chu sat down at the table, the atmosphere instantly changed. Even Young Master Wang secretly stopped crossing his legs.

Lu Qingxuan was trying to think of a topic to start a conversation with Qin Yunchu when she saw Qin Yunchu speak first.

"Xiao You, how have you been doing in the capital for the past month?"

Xia You, standing to the side, said listlessly, "It's just so-so."

"Didn't you go out with Chen Ya?" Qin Yunchu asked with a smile.

“Play? All he knows is ordering me around.” Xia You said, then inexplicably thought of the sudden kiss in the fitting room earlier, and her face turned a little red.

What seemed like an ordinary conversation between the two was nothing short of a raging storm in the eyes of onlookers.

When Qin Yun Chu mentioned Chen Ya, Lu Qing Xuan looked at the two of them in surprise, and Liu Ru Ying also made no attempt to hide her surprise as she turned to look at them.

The Witch Lord stopped eating sunflower seeds, and Lu Qianzi and Chen Hai, who were standing to the side, opened their mouths wide and stopped breathing.

Miao Aoxue, who was sitting at another table, quickly turned her head to look at Qin Yunchu, her eyes filled with doubt.

Qin Yun Chu and Xia You, however, were completely unaware. Qin Yun Chu even asked with a smile:

"What did I ask you to do? Why are you so upset?"

"Don't mention it," Xia You said, not wanting to talk about the topic, and covered her mouth while yawning. "I didn't sleep at all last night."

Qin Yun Chu was a little surprised: "You two were together all night?"

"at work."

After Xia You finished speaking, Qin Yun Chu realized that her words were somewhat ambiguous and stuck out her tongue slightly.

Qin Yun Chu appears aloof, but is actually just an ordinary girl at heart. She likes everything that ordinary girls like, and she also has the habits of ordinary girls.

However, the others were completely unsettled.

Lu Qingxuan's brain went blank.

Seeing Qin Yun Chu and Xia You talking, she wondered if Qin Yun Chu knew Xia Long Ju's daughter, and whether people from these great families knew each other.

But when the name "Chen Ya" came out of Qin Yun Chu's mouth, she fell into a state of emptiness and confusion, as if she had fallen into a black hole, where time and space were stretched infinitely and became distorted.

Qin Yunchu was saying, "Chen Ya?"

Did Qin Yun first meet Chen Ya?

Lu Qianzi trembled, her voice shaking slightly: "You know... Chen Ya?"

Hearing Lu Qianzi's voice, Qin Yunchu turned around, looked at Lu Qianzi, and gave her a friendly smile:

"you are?"
