Chapter 532: Shen Yiyi

“Oily Noodles.”

After Lu Zhou replied Lu Sheng, he hurriedly waved at her. “Quick, bring the breakfast out for me.”

“Yes, I’ll be there soon.”

Lu Sheng did not notice Chu Yan’s mistake. Instead, she walked past him with a smile and helped Lu Zhou bring the breakfast out.

“Hey, kid. Are you alright?”

Shangguan Dian, who had just gone downstairs, spoke worriedly when he saw the blushing Chu Yan.

“No… Nothing. It’s probably because the kitchen is a bit stuffy. I’m going out to get some air.”

Chu Yan sniffed and hurried around him.

Shangguan Dian raised an eyebrow. Seeing that he was really fine, he did not pay much attention.

On the other hand, Lu Sheng looked suspiciously at Chu Yan after hearing Shangguan Dian’s words.

His skin was very fair, but there was a faint pink color at this moment. It indeed looked abnormal.

“Are you alright? Do you want a drink?”

After she put down the noodles, she asked worriedly.

Chu Yan had almost calmed down. Seeing her question, he hurriedly smiled and shook his head. “I’m fine.”

“Sit down. It’s time for breakfast.”

Lu Zhou took out the remaining two bowls of Oily Noodles.

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow at Chu Yan and smiled. “Quick, try it. My master doesn’t have any other merits, but his culinary skills are good.”

Chu Yan nodded. He picked up his chopsticks and stirred them before taking a bite.

It was fragrant and delicious, but a little greasy.

His breakfasts were usually light. It was his first time eating such an oily breakfast, so he was a little not used to it. However, he still finished it in two to three bites.

After breakfast, Lu Sheng suggested visiting Chu Yan’s house.

She still did not know the exact location of Chu Yan’s house, so she should go and take a look.

Chu Yan did not refuse. The two of them bade Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian farewell and left.

As they were in the same district, Lu Sheng did not drive.

The two of them arrived after walking for about ten minutes.

The Chu family’s courtyard was very big. It was three times bigger than Lu Sheng’s mansion.

The interior was very luxurious and there were many servants.

“Young Master is back?”

The two of them had just entered when a middle-aged man walked over with a smile.

“Yes.”

Chu Yan replied faintly and asked, “Are my parents still around?”

“Yes, yes!” Butler Zhong smiled kindly and said, “There are guests at home today. Old Master and Mdm are entertaining guests. Old Master was still talking about Young Master just now. I didn’t expect you to come back.”

Chu Yan nodded slightly and led Lu Sheng past Butler Zhong before continuing to walk in.

Butler Zhong looked at Lu Sheng’s back with a worried expression.

He knew very well why the guests were here today.

Would Old Master and Mdm be angry if Young Master suddenly brought a girl back?

Lu Sheng and Chu Yan had just reached the door when they heard laughter from inside.

When the two of them walked in, they realized that the dining table was filled with people of all ages.

When they entered, the bustling scene suddenly stopped and everyone looked over.

The beautiful woman sitting in front suddenly stood up and smiled at Chu Yan. “Yan Er brought his friend back. Come and sit.”

As the beautiful woman spoke, she said to Butler Zhong, who entered behind the duo, “Old Zhong, get someone to prepare two sets of cutlery.”

“Hello, Aunt!”

Lu Sheng smiled and greeted the beautiful woman.

“Hey, hello to you too!” The beautiful woman walked out and pulled her to an empty seat at the side. She smiled and said, “This is the first time our Yan Er brought a friend home.”

Lu Sheng felt that the atmosphere was a bit off, but she still smiled at the beautiful woman.

Chu Yan sat down beside her. Soon, the cutlery was brought over.

“Which family’s daughter did Xiao Yan bring back?”

A lady sitting opposite her scrutinized Lu Sheng for a while before speaking with a fake smile.

Lu Sheng looked up and was stunned when she saw the girl beside the lady.

It was her?

They were really fated!

Lu Sheng felt that Fu Sisi, Shi Yi, and Yun Ting’s reincarnation was definitely related to Chu Sihan. However, this person…

It couldn’t have been specially arranged by Chu Sihan, right?

If Chu Yan had specially arranged it, she would definitely not believe him. The only possibility was that it was a coincidence.

However, she had to admit that they were really fated.

Meeting the girl’s hostile gaze, Lu Sheng smiled back at her calmly.

When Fu Ting saw this scene, her red lips subconsciously curved upwards.

This girl was quite calm. One could tell that she was someone who did big things.

Seeing her son’s gloomy face, Fu Ting hurriedly said, “Let’s eat first. If Mdm Shen has any doubts, ask later.”

Since the host had already spoken, it was naturally inappropriate for Mdm Shen to say anything else.

However, she looked at Lu Sheng with displeasure and rejection.

Of course, Lu Sheng did not care about their feelings. She looked at Fu Ting and felt that she looked familiar.

Upon closer inspection, she realized that she resembled Mdm Chu, but was much younger.

The man sitting at the side was almost identical to Chu Hongzhong.

Lu Sheng felt that Lu Zhou was right. Chu Sihan was a nostalgic person.

Although he did not seem very close to those people in his previous life, he still chose to be their child in his next lifetime.

Moreover, Chu Hongzhong and Fu Ting’s personalities seemed to have changed drastically in this lifetime.

Chu Hongzhong sensed that someone was sizing him up. He looked up and looked over with a stern expression.

However, he realized that the person sizing him up was actually the girl his son brought back.

To his surprise, not only was she not afraid, but she even smiled at him politely.

Chu Hongzhong had been in the business world for more than ten years. His prestige was well-known, and even the CEOs of listed companies did not dare to speak loudly when they saw him.

However, this girl could actually sit still and even return his smile calmly under his stern gaze. She was really not simple.

She was much better than the Miss from the Shen family.

As Lu Sheng and Chu Yan had already eaten, they did not eat much.

This meal ended quickly in silence.

Chu Hongzhong and Old Master Shen went to the study room to talk, leaving Fu Ting and Chu Yan to accompany the guests.

On the other side, Shen Yiyi looked at Chu Yan lovingly and said coquettishly, “Brother Ah Yan, do you still remember me?”

Chu Yan looked at her indifferently and frowned. “No.”

Lu Sheng pursed her lips and smiled.

This fellow did not even give girls face. This suited her taste.

“I’m Yiyi!” Shen Yiyi hurriedly explained, “Our family used to live next door to the Chu family. We often played together when we were young.”

When she said this, she glanced at Lu Sheng proudly. Her intention to shine was obvious.

Lu Sheng thought, ‘So what if you’re childhood sweethearts? We were married in our previous lives.’

Moreover, one could tell from Chu Yan’s expression that he really did not remember Shen Yiyi.

Speaking of which, Shen Yiyi was quite unlucky. She could not get Chu Sihan in her previous life, but she could not get Chu Yan in this lifetime. What an ill-fated fate!

“Oh, I don’t remember.”

Chu Yan’s expression was indifferent, without any intention of catching up.

Shen Yiyi’s face reddened, but she did not dare to flare up in front of everyone. She could only find a way out for herself.

“It’s been twelve years. It’s normal for Brother Ah Yan to forget.”

“Xiao Yan, I heard that you’ve transferred to Yizhong?” Mdm Shen smiled and said, “Coincidentally, our Yiyi has also transferred to Yizhong. She’s in Year Two. In the future, please be more tolerant and help Aunt take care of Yiyi.”

Shen Yiyi was about to smile when Chu Yan interrupted her.

He said lightly, “Miss Shen doesn’t look like a retard. She should know how to take care of herself.”

Lu Sheng could not help but chuckle.

How embarrassing!

“Yan Er!”

Fu Ting glared at her son. Then, she looked at Mdm Shen and Shen Yiyi, who were already red from holding back. She said apologetically, “Mdm Shen, Miss Shen, I’m really sorry. This child has always been a straightforward person. He doesn’t have any malicious intentions. Please don’t mind him.”

“Why would I?” Mdm Shen tried her best to suppress the unhappiness in her heart and forced a smile.

Shen Yiyi laughed dryly and said, “It’s been years since we last met, but Brother Ah Yan is still so humorous.”

Humorous?

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. Was she sure his words weren’t vicious?

Chu Yan’s expression did not look like he was joking.

“Speaking of which, this Miss hasn’t introduced herself yet.”

Mdm Shen, who had bumped into a wall with Chu Yan, shifted her attention to Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng smiled faintly and said, “My name is Lu Sheng.”

“Lu Sheng?” Mdm Shen said disdainfully, “I don’t think I’ve heard of anyone with the surname Lu among the rich families in City H?”

Lu Sheng said without changing her expression, “Mdm Shen is right. I’m not a child from a rich family. I’m just an ordinary person.”

Although her family was not famous, in terms of assets, even the Chu family was not comparable to them.

One had to know that any one of her master’s paintings could be sold for tens of millions yuan, let alone other antiques.

Moreover, she still had Uncle Shangguan. That guy’s assets were immeasurable.

However, no one would care about these worldly possessions except her master, right?

Of course, she would not admit that she cared too.

“I knew it.” Mdm Shen sneered. “Look at your clothes. You don’t look like a child from a rich family.”

Lu Sheng looked down at her outfit and could not help but raise her eyebrows.

Her master had hired a famous designer to tailor-made this white dress for her last birthday. It was worth millions of yuan.

It looked ordinary, but it was actually expensive.

“Mdm Shen is wrong.”

Fu Ting sized Lu Sheng up and smiled at Mdm Shen. “This dress was registered in an international fashion magazine. It was designed by the world’s most famous fashion designer, Master Leiran. It’s called Yu Sheng. There’s only one in the world and it’s worth more than three million yuan.”

Mdm Shen was stunned. Then, she said in disbelief, “Impossible!”

“What’s impossible?” Fu Ting smiled faintly. “If Mdm Shen doesn’t believe me, you can search now. You might even find it.”

Before Mdm Shen could do anything, Shen Yiyi had already taken out her phone and started searching.

Holding the phone, she compared it to Lu Sheng’s white dress and realized that it was almost identical.

“It’s actually true!” she mumbled.

Mdm Shen took the phone over and her expression changed.

It was not that the Shen family could not afford a dress that cost more than three million yuan, but they could not bear to buy it at all.

Usually, the clothes she wore were at most six digits. Most of them were five digits.

Shen Yiyi laughed dryly and said, “Miss Lu is really low-profile. She’s wearing a dress worth more than three million yuan, yet she still calls herself an ordinary person.”

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Is she not ordinary when she’s wearing a dress worth three million yuan?”

“Of course.” Shen Yiyi said, “Normal people can’t even bear to buy clothes that cost three digits. They only wear cheap and low-quality fabric.”

Lu Sheng smiled coldly. “Miss Shen, do you think that a person’s level of extraordinary is measured by their clothes?”

“Isn’t that so?” Shen Yiyi asked scornfully.

Lu Sheng smiled faintly and said calmly, “Clothes are just used to cover one’s face. Regardless of whether they’re cheap or expensive, they still have the same effect.”

“If a person relies on what’s on the surface to support himself, one day, without these superficial things, everything will collapse. At that time, I’m afraid he’ll live worse than the ordinary person you mentioned.”

The price of the clothes she bought herself never exceeded three digits.

As for her expensive clothes, they were mostly bought by Shangguan Dian and Lu Zhou.

Of course, she felt that buying clothes was not about whether they were expensive or not, but whether they felt comfortable.

She could buy a few new sets of clothes a month.

“You—”

Shen Yiyi’s eyes widened, but she could not retort.

Fu Ting looked at Lu Sheng thoughtfully and smiled.

She was indeed someone her son had brought back. Even when scolding others, she was so amiable.

She knew very well why the Shen family came today.

They wanted to have a marriage alliance with the Chu family.

Initially, she thought that Shen Yiyi was quite good. At first, she thought that she was a very well-bred child and looked quite good.

She felt that she had to let her son meet her.

However, it seemed like Shen Yiyi was just pretending in front of her.

Thankfully, his son had the foresight to bring an interesting girl back. Otherwise, with Old Master Shen’s relationship with Chu Hongzhong, it would be difficult to refuse this marriage.

The Shen family and the Chu family were long-time friends, and Old Master Shen and Chu Hongzhong were good friends since they were young.

Although the Shen family moved out of City H and went to the capital, Old Master Shen and Chu Hongzhong remained in contact.

This year, there seemed to be a problem in the Shen family’s company. Old Master Shen decided to come back and find Chu Hongzhong for help.

Although Chu Hongzhong lived in City H, the Chu Group’s headquarters was in the capital. Moreover, with the Chu family’s power, it was easy for them to solve that problem for the Shen family.

However, Old Master Shen suddenly thought of Chu Yan. It was said that he was a very outstanding child. He thought that his daughter was not bad too, so he had the idea of a marriage alliance.

They often thought of this when the children were young. However, they mostly joked after drinking.

Now, in order to consolidate his status in the Shen family, Old Master Shen felt that there was no way that was more effective than a marriage alliance with the Chu family.
