Chapter 843: Why Are You Here Again (1)

In the end, Su Qing could not stand it anymore. She went forward and carried her little brat back. Of course, the result of doing so was having a child struggling in her arms. A pair of pitiful eyes stared at Joy not far away.

Zhao Youlin and the others were amused by his sorrowful look. Just as they were about to comfort Dudu, they heard a loud cry coming from outside the door. “Joy, Joy, I’m here to play with you.”

“Pfft…” They turned their heads and saw Mu Wanting holding her giant dog’s hand and looking at them with shining eyes. When they saw Joy, they quickly rushed over.

Dudu, who was in Su Qing’s arms, tensed up when he saw the situation. He looked at Mu Wanting, who had suddenly appeared, with a guarded look. His eyes clearly said, “Not good, another dog is snatching people from him!”

Joy looked at the big dog that was even taller than Mu Wanting, and his expression changed slightly. He subconsciously hid behind Zhao Youlin. He remembered that it was this big dog that had suddenly pounced on them last time. It had almost bitten his mom.

Mu Wanting quickly noticed his strange behavior. She paused and her gaze lingered on Joy and her beloved dog for a moment. She quickly understood the reason for Joy’s fear and decisively threw her beloved dog to her mom. She ran towards joy.

“Joy is really popular. When the children come, they all chase after Joy.” The adults could not help but praise Joy when they saw this scene.

Zhao Youlin smiled slightly and reached out to rub her son’s furry little head. There was a hint of joy and pride in her eyes.

By letting Joy bring the children to the side to play, the adults finally had time to slack off a little.

However, before Zhao Youlin and the others could relax for long, a certain person’s appearance easily pushed the atmosphere of the banquet to the climax, causing Zhao Youlin and the others’ mood to drop to freezing point.

There were always such people in this world. As long as they appeared, they did not have to move too much or make a sound. As long as they stood there, everyone’s eyes would follow his movements.

When Zhao Youlin and the others noticed something strange, the originally noisy hall had become abnormally silent. The excessive silence caused Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng to feel ominous premonitions at the same time. They turned their heads to look at the door. They could not help but see a sharp-eyed middle-aged elder, a disgruntled girl behind him, and… the youth who was staring at them with a half-smile and excitement.

At this moment, Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng finally understood why this guy had said that they would meet soon.

Su He and the others also noticed the unusual aura in the air. They followed Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng’s gazes and looked at the people at the door. Su Qing and Su He, who recognized them, suddenly widened their eyes, their faces were filled with disbelief.

Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng looked at each other and took the initiative to welcome them with the child in their arms.

“Mr. Lu, long time no see.” Zhao Youlin smiled and greeted Lu Xiangtian.

Lu Xiangtian smiled and looked at the child in Zhao Youlin’s arms. Looking at the cute appearance of the child, his sharp eyes suddenly became gentler. He took out a rosary from his pocket, he handed it to Zhao Youlin and said, “I heard that your child has just reached the full moon, so this is my gift to him. Ms. Zhao, you won’t be unwilling to accept this gift because I came uninvited, right?”

The corner of Zhao Youlin’s mouth twitched, and she thought to herself, so you know that you came uninvited. It’s fine if you came uninvited, but you even brought a gift. Now that you’ve already taken out the gift and said such things, do I have any choice?

Zhao Youlin resisted the urge to roll her eyes and smiled as she accepted the gift. Of course, she didn’t hang it directly on the child, but handed it to Mu Tingfeng instead.

Lu Xiangtian’s eyes flickered when he saw this, but he said nothing.

Zhao Youlin put away the gift with her heart in her mouth. Then, she turned around and looked over Lu Xiangtian at the man and woman behind him. She was not surprised to see Lu Sizheng’s interest and Lu Shu’s hatred that was about to materialize.

Zhao Youlin’s heart trembled. She didn’t understand why this person was repeatedly showing such strong hostility toward her. They had only met a few times before and after. Furthermore, she was certain that she had never done anything that would incur the hatred of others. How did this person come to hate her?

Or did her previous self have some conflict with her at the police station and was unaware of it, causing her to hate her until now? Or was it because… of that Li Yan?

It wasn’t just Zhao Youlin. Mu Tingfeng and Lu Sizheng also noticed Lu Shu’s hostility toward Zhao Youlin.

A cold glint flashed across Mu Tingfeng’s eyes. He had no fear of this so-called princess. He would not fear someone who threatened Zhao Youlin, not even someone like Lu Xiangtian, not to mention this young girl, who had the title of Lu Xiangtian but was not necessarily powerful.

He immediately moved closer to Zhao Youlin to block Lu Shu’s gaze on Zhao Youlin.

Lu Sizheng, on the other hand, was much more reserved. He looked back and forth between Lu Shu and Zhao Youlin a few times, and a thoughtful look flashed across his eyes.

However, this thoughtful look of his appeared and disappeared quickly, and no one noticed anything strange about him.

Zhao Youlin’s movements had already attracted the attention of many people, especially after many people recognized Lu Xiangtian and the others, and they all began to whisper among themselves.

Previously, many guests had come to congratulate Han Yichen and An Yue on their children’s full-moon. Naturally, many people still remembered that before this, the person who had come to congratulate the Zhao family was Lu Sizheng, who was following behind Lu Xiangtian.

Lu Xiangtian had sent people to congratulate the Zhao family’s eldest lady on her child’s full-moon gift. When it came to the Zhao family’s eldest lady’s child’s full-moon gift, Lu Xiangtian had personally come to visit. What exactly was the relationship between the Zhao family or the Mu family and Lu Xiangtian?

This question surfaced in the minds of everyone present. Zhao Youlin did not need to think much to know what these people were thinking.

Not only did the person whom she had been avoiding suddenly appear, but he even pretended to be very close to her, making it impossible for her to keep a distance from him. It was truly depressing.

With today’s small incident, it was likely that there would not be a need for them to come again tomorrow. The rumor of her Zhao family and the Mu family having a deep relationship with Lu Xiangtian would probably spread throughout the upper-class society. By then, it would be too late for her to clear her name, even if she wanted to.

Zhao Youlin was depressed, but helpless. She had to pretend to graciously welcome Lu Xiangtian and the others into the house.
