After my rebirth, my paranoid husband was so excited that I trembled.

Lu Jingxi followed and sat down, his whole body tense.

Huo Chen seemed not to know the identity of the woman opposite him, so he smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Leng has just arrived in China. If there is anything you don't like, you must tell me."

"Mr. Huo, you're welcome." The woman's delicate and calm face had no unnecessary expression.

"Ask my secretary to pour wine for Mr. Leng to apologize."

Huo Chen's half-smiling eyes fell on Lu Jingxi's face.

Lu Jingxi rushed to the shelves. Her identity is an intern secretary. It is her turn to show off and say no...

People around her also noticed something fishy. It was obvious that Huo Chen didn't take this intern seriously, otherwise why would he let her be a maid?

Lu Jingxi stood up with a smile, glanced at Huo Chen fiercely, and took the wine bottle from the waiter without a smile.

Across from him, Leng Ran didn't look at Lu Jingxi. She was only interested in the woman next to Lian Chengyu.

Lu Jingxi pushed the chair away with a complex expression, and at the same time began to secretly worry that his growth rate was too slow.

Even Leng Ran would frighten her...

Suddenly, the door of the box was pushed open.

Lu Jingxi looked toward the door and saw a man he hadn't seen for a day walking in with a cold aura.

The indifferent eyebrows under the short hair looked like a storm was brewing at the moment, making no effort to conceal his current mood, which was very bad.

The people in the box immediately stood up and shouted respectfully, "Mr. Lian."

A dark light flashed in Leng Ran's eyes, a smile appeared on her lips, and her expression softened significantly, "Mr. Lian, you are here."

Huo Chen was the only one sitting there. He said meaningfully, "It's not that I won't come if something happens."

Lian Chengyu walked up to Huo Chen. Without looking away, he reached for the wine bottle in Lu Jingxi's hand and placed it on the table.

The gentle collision sound made everyone afraid to speak out.

Lu Jingxi raised his eyebrows.

He came to her rescue silently.

Now I also understand the purpose of Huo Chen calling her here, using her as bait to lure Lian Chengyu.

She immediately gave up her seat, and the people next to her noticed her interest and immediately jumped out.

"Everyone, sit down." He said, and everyone took their seats immediately.

He looked at Lu Jingxi who was standing aside. Seeing that she was safe and sound, most of the coldness in his eyes dissipated, "You also sit down."

Lu Jingxi nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Lian."

Huo Chen picked up the food with his chopsticks, but the tabletop was turned by the man beside him, and his chopsticks fell empty.

Huo Chen clicked his tongue, "Are you so angry?"

Isn't it just asking Zuo Jing to pour a glass of wine?

"The car was scratched on the road."

"No wonder, Xiao Lu, give Mr. Lian a bowl of lotus leaf soup, Bai Baihuo."

The atmosphere in the room was tense. At this moment, Lian Chengyu's sight suddenly broke into a fair and slender wrist.

The girl's fingers were like green onions, holding a bowl of soup and placing it in front of him, "Mr. Lian, drink the soup."

Everyone's hearts are in their throats. Didn't you see the two big bosses getting angry?Those who don’t know are fearless!

However, the next second, Lian Chengyu's arrogance instantly subsided and he responded lightly.

Leng Ran narrowed her eyes and finally took a good look at Lu Jingxi.

Pretty.

But she didn't take Lu Jingxi to heart. She raised her glass and said, "Mr. Lian, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to my reception banquet. I'll do it first as a token of respect."

Leng Ran drank the white wine in the glass in one gulp.

However, the man opposite just glanced at her and had no intention of drinking.

Huo Chen smiled and raised his cup, "I'll drink with you, Mr. Leng. If you don't understand China, come to me if you have any questions."

These words are interesting to say.

Everyone here knew that Leng Ran was the 'supervisor' sent by the Liancheng family, and Huo Chen and Lian Chengyu were good brothers.

Lu Jingxi was also confused.

Why do you think Huo Chen and Lian Chengyu are competing openly and secretly?

Leng Ran didn't care at all about Lian Chengyu's cold face, and asked the waiter to bring the menu attentively, "Mr. Lian, please order something you like."

Lian Chengyu took the menu and seemingly ordered two dishes and a dessert at random.

The corners of Leng Ran's eyes tightened slightly, dessert?

Her keen observation skills made her feel that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

Only Lu Jingxi present knew that the items he ordered were all her favorites...

Throughout the dinner, Lian Chengyu rarely spoke.

Apart from the bowl of soup in hand, I only ate the dessert.

Although Leng Ran was chatting with people the whole time, she was closely watching his movements.

It wasn't until I saw the man eating dessert that the doubts in my heart were erased.

After the dinner, Leng Ran invited Lian Chengyu to the next one.

The man's voice was calm, but he returned to his new tone, "No, I still have something to do."

"I'll go. I have to give Mr. Leng some face, but I have to send Mr. Lian home first. His car was scratched." Huo Chen interjected.

The smile on Leng Ran's face faded a bit.

Lian Chengyu was the first to turn around and walk towards the parking lot.

Huo Chen said goodbye to everyone briefly and greeted Lu Jingxi, "Secretary, I'm sending you home. Let's go."

Lu Jingxi hurriedly followed.

I just felt that the sight behind me was a bit heavy.

In the car, Lian Chengyu sat in the passenger seat and Lu Jingxi sat in the back seat.

The atmosphere in the carriage was so oppressive that no one spoke.

After arriving at Lanting, Lian Chengyu was the first to speak, "Xixi, you go in first."

Lu Jingxi knew that the two of them had something to say, so he nodded obediently, "Okay."

Before she could open the door, a suit jacket smelling of sandalwood was handed over to her. The man's voice was filled with the warmth of the night, and he said softly, "It's cold outside, put it on."

Lu Jingxi wanted to say no, but he didn't refuse. He put on his clothes, opened the door and got out of the car.

When she entered the courtyard, Huo Chen lit up a cigarette. Blue smoke blew out from under his nose, and his voice was hoarse. "Do you need to be so nervous? You have to let them know sooner or later."

"They came in a hurry just to catch us off guard. I won't let her be exposed to Leng Ran's sight without any defense." Lian Chengyu's rare voice became solemn.

"I am now certain that you left the Liancheng clan for Lu Jingxi, but what is the reason? What are you obsessed with?" Huo Chen was extremely puzzled by Lian Chengyu's obsession.

He also investigated, but found nothing.

"Okay, I won't ask." Huo Chen sighed, "You are awesome for fighting against your family for a woman."

The lights in the courtyard fell on his hazy silhouette, making him look even more determined and coldly handsome.

After a long silence, Huo Chen asked first.

"Go as planned?"

"Yeah." Lian Chengyu responded calmly.

The cigarette butt drew a parabola in the night sky, and with the sound of the car door being opened, the cigarette butt fell accurately into the trash can.

The tough battle has begun.
