Mdm Shen glanced upstairs, hoping that her husband could reach a satisfactory conclusion with Chu Hongzhong.

In order to pair her daughter up with Chu Yan, she specially made her daughter transfer to school from the capital to City H. This could not be done in vain.

Moreover, how old was Chu Yan? He was sixteen or seventeen years old and was in his rebellious stage. It was normal for him to have one or two girls by his side.

Men liked the new and hated the old.

Her daughter was outstanding in both looks and grades. After interacting with her for a long time, Chu Yan would definitely realize how good her daughter was.

“Ah Yan, do you want to eat this? It's quite sweet.”

Lu Sheng had unknowingly peeled an orange. After eating a piece herself, she suddenly passed it to Chu Yan.

Shen Yiyi widened her eyes and looked at Chu Yan.

Seeing his indifferent expression, she was about to heave a sigh of relief when he suddenly reached out to receive it. Then, he broke off two pieces and placed them in his mouth.

When Fu Ting saw this scene, she suddenly smiled silently.

It was obvious that her son was quite interested in this girl.

She coughed lightly and looked at the equally ugly expressions of the Shen family's mother-daughter pair. She smiled and said, “Mdm Shen, Miss Shen, this orange is indeed good. Try it too.”

“Oh, alright!”

Mdm Shen forced a smile, but her gaze at Lu Sheng was not as friendly.

Lu Sheng naturally ignored them and asked Chu Yan in a low voice, “Isn't the orange very sweet?”

“Yes.” Chu Yan nodded.

Shen Yiyi was so angry that she gripped the corner of her skirt tightly, but she did not dare to show her emotions too obviously to Fu Ting and Chu Yan.

Fu Ting smiled at Lu Sheng and said, “If Lu Sheng likes it, bring a box back later.”

Lu Sheng did not intend to be polite. She nodded and smiled. “Thank you, Aunt!”

Chu Hongzhong and Old Master Shen came down quickly.

Chu Hongzhong was expressionless, but Old Master Shen's expression did not seem too good.

It seemed like the outcome of the negotiation was not ideal.

When Fu Ting heard footsteps, she stood up and looked over. Lu Sheng, Chu Yan, and the rest also stood up.

“What's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy?” Fu Ting joked.

“Nothing.” Chu Hongzhong shook his head and looked at Old Master Shen. “Daqin, I'll send you off.”

“This…”

Mdm Shen looked at Chu Hongzhong and then at Old Master Shen questioningly.

Unexpectedly, Old Master Shen ignored her and nodded at Chu Hongzhong.

“You're leaving just like that?” Fu Ting asked in surprise.

Old Master Shen forced a smile and said, “It's like this. The Shen family still has some matters to attend to, so we won't stay any longer.”

Fu Ting nodded in realization. “I see. Take care!”

She was an understanding person. One look at Old Master Shen's reaction and she knew that the marriage alliance was over.

Thinking about it, although her husband usually did not show fatherly love to his son, he would definitely not use his son's happiness as a favor.

Moreover, the Chu family was above the Shen family. The Shen family needed a marriage alliance, but the Chu family did not.

Although Shen Yiyi did not want to leave, she saw that her father was already walking out. She and her mother looked at each other and could only suppress their indignation and follow him.

After sending them away, Fu Ting raised her eyebrows and asked Chu Hongzhong, “What did Shen Qin and you talk about?”

Chu Hongzhong smiled faintly. “Nothing much. He just mentioned some things from his youth and the children's future.”

His meaning was obvious. He was playing the emotional card.

Although Shen Qin had a good relationship with Chu Hongzhong when he was young, that was only when he was young.

People would change. After not seeing him for so many years, who knew if Shen Qin was still the same as when he was young?

“He has changed.”

Chu Hongzhong stared at the departing car and sighed softly. “In the past, he disdained this. However, when he spoke to me now, he kept saying that we used to have a good relationship. Then, he mentioned some recent situation in the Shen family and even wanted Yan Er and his daughter to get engaged first.”

“Engagement?” Fu Ting smiled coldly. “He's dreaming. It's alright if our Yan Er likes his daughter as well, but it's obvious he doesn't. I don't like a girl who cares about her appearance and upbringing either.”

Chu Hongzhong looked at her suspiciously. “Didn't you quite like that girl previously?”

This morning, she even praised her for being pretty and sensible.

Why did he not like her again after just one morning?

Indeed, a woman's heart was like a needle in the sea.

“That's because she disguised herself well.” Fu Ting snorted coldly. “Didn't you see her performance when she was chatting with Lu Sheng? She even said that she wasn't an ordinary person if she was wearing expensive clothes. So what? Does wearing expensive clothes make her immortal?”

“Lu Sheng?” Chu Hongzhong said suspiciously, “Are you referring to the girl Yan Er brought back?”

“Yes.” Fu Ting nodded. “That girl is even gentle when she dissed people. One can tell that she's someone who does big things. Moreover, I think my son's taste is definitely not bad.”

Chu Hongzhong's interest was piqued when he heard that. He pondered and said, “Let's go in and meet her.”

Chu Yan and Lu Sheng were still sitting on the sofa in the hall and talking. Seeing the two of them enter, Lu Sheng immediately sat up straight.

A smile flashed across Fu Ting's eyes and she sat opposite Chu Hongzhong.

“You're my son's classmate?”

Chu Hongzhong asked with a stern expression.

Lu Sheng smiled faintly and said, “I'm his junior.”

“How did you meet?”

“Father.” Chu Yan frowned and sounded impatient.

Lu Sheng's eyes darted around before she smiled. “Of course, it's because I'm pretty. He fell in love with me at first sight.”

The Chu family of three was speechless.

Chu Yan did not expect her to answer like that, and Fu Ting and Chu Hongzhong were shocked that she would.

“Love at first sight?”

Fu Ting widened her eyes and stared at her son in disbelief.

Chu Hongzhong looked at him too.

Chu Yan's fair face reddened immediately.

Time passed silently. Lu Sheng was at the side, smiling as she stared at Chu Yan with an amused expression.

“I'll be returning to school soon. I'll go upstairs to clean up.”

After speaking, he stood up and went upstairs without looking at anyone.

“Was he… shy?”

Fu Ting looked at Chu Hongzhong and asked absent-mindedly.

Chu Hongzhong nodded seriously. “Possibly.”

Fu Ting subconsciously swallowed her saliva.

This was the first time she knew that her son was so thin-skinned.

One had to know that in the past ten years, her son had always had that indifferent expression.

It made her misunderstand that even if the sky collapsed one day, her son might not have other expressions.

She did not expect…

She suddenly looked at Lu Sheng and could not help but click her tongue. Her face was full of admiration.

Lu Sheng pursed her lips and smiled at the two of them without saying anything.

Chu Hongzhong frowned slightly. “Who's your father?”

“My father?” Lu Sheng pondered for a moment and smiled. “He's a swindler.”

Chu Hongzhong was stunned. “A swindler?”

Lu Sheng blinked and smiled. “To put it simply, he's a fortune-teller.”

“Isn't this a bluff?”

Fu Ting covered her mouth immediately.

She said apologetically, “Lu Sheng, Aunt didn't mean that!”

“I know,” Lu Sheng said disapprovingly. “Actually, his fortune-telling is quite accurate.”

“Speaking of fortune-tellers, I know someone from Hong Kong. He's quite young and a fortune teller. He's surrounded by famous big bosses from Hong Kong.”

He looked at Fu Ting and said, “For example, when that man saw me, he mentioned that Shen Qin would mention the marriage alliance to me. He told me not to agree, or it would harm the Chu family.”

“There's such a thing?” Fu Ting was doubtful. “Could he have known Shen Qin or accidentally found out about Shen Qin's conversation with someone?”

Chu Hongzhong initially thought so too. He even suspected that the man might have a conflict with Shen Qin or the Shen family.

However, if that man really had a feud with Shen Qin, there was no need for him to do anything.

One had to know that the people surrounding him only needed one word from him. It was easy for the entire Shen family to disappear, let alone Shen Qin.

Moreover, if he was incapable, those people would definitely not be so polite to him.

“I think he's really capable.”

Fu Ting frowned. “Old Master, do you really believe this?”

Chu Hongzhong said indifferently, “There are such things if you believe them.”

Lu Sheng nodded in agreement.

However, she was very curious. Who was the man Chu Hongzhong met in Hong Kong?

“I wonder, what's the name of the person Uncle Chu met in Hong Kong?”

It was not easy to find a capable colleague these days.

“Oh, his surname is Lu. His full name is Lu Zhou.”

Lu Sheng was speechless.

It was indeed difficult to find someone else.

Seeing her strange expression, Chu Hongzhong was puzzled.

On the other hand, Fu Ting suddenly looked at Lu Sheng and asked in a low voice, “Xiao Sheng, I remember your surname is Lu too, right?”

Lu Sheng laughed dryly and nodded. “Yes.”

Chu Hongzhong belatedly reacted. “So, Lu Zhou and you…”

Lu Sheng nodded. “He's my father.”

“In that case, your father is indeed very capable!” Chu Hongzhong said sincerely.

“Uncle Chu is too polite. My father doesn't know anything else but this.”

Chu Hongzhong smiled and was about to say something when his phone rang.

He said apologetically to Lu Sheng, “I'll take this call first.”

Lu Sheng smiled and nodded.

Not long after Chu Hongzhong left, he entered with a gloomy face.

He said to Fu Ting, “I have something urgent to attend to, so I'll go out first. Accompany Xiao Sheng first.”

“What happened?” Fu Ting asked.

“Sigh—” Chu Hongzhong sighed deeply and said, “CEO Liu hanged himself at home.”

“CEO Liu?”

Lu Sheng was shocked. “He hung himself?”

She had thought that CEO Liu would die, but she did not expect him to die so quickly, and in such a way.

“You know CEO Liu?” Chu Hongzhong was surprised.

CEO Liu was one of his business partners and they had a good relationship.

Chu Hongzhong had also heard about his cancer.

However, he seemed to be doing well recently. He should be able to last for a while.

Lu Sheng lowered her eyes and said, “Because of some matters, Chu Yan and I met him last night. We even went to his house together.”

“What?” Fu Ting frowned. “You went to his house with him? Why?”

Lu Sheng told them what happened at the KTV yesterday and what happened later.

They both looked at her in surprise.

Chu Yan used to tell them that he could see ghosts, but they did not believe him. They kept feeling that their son was overthinking.

After that, Chu Yan did not mention it to them again. He even spoke less.

They thought that there were no supernatural beings in this world.

However, after hearing Lu Sheng's words, they suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.

Fu Ting said in a daze, “Lu Sheng, are you… joking? How can there be ghosts in this world?”

“Of course. It's just that you can't see it.”

Lu Sheng said lightly, “CEO Liu could have lived for another year, but he might be in a hurry to find his son. That's why he can't wait to leave the world.”

Chu Hongzhong and Fu Ting had a complicated expression.

He looked at the two of them and said, “The corpse has been sent back to the Liu family. I have to go over and take a look.”

When Lu Sheng heard that, she stood up and said, “I'll go with you.”

She would take it as sending CEO Liu off for the last time on account of the five million yuan.

Initially, she wanted to divide the five million yuan equally with Chu Yan, but he did not want it.

Lu Sheng thought that it would be their money in the future anyway, so she did not chase after Chu Yan to give him the money.

“Where are you going?”

When Chu Yan walked down with his bag, he happened to hear Lu Sheng's words to Chu Hongzhong.

Lu Sheng looked at him and said, “CEO Liu has left. I want to send him off.”

Chu Yan was not too surprised when he heard this news.

When he left yesterday, CEO Liu's Yang energy was so weak that it was almost invisible.

When he left yesterday, he had already guessed CEO Liu's ending.

“I'll go too.”

“Alright. It's good to burn some incense.”

Chu Hongzhong said to Fu Ting, “Then, we'll leave first.”

“The oranges…” Fu Ting looked at Lu Sheng and spoke hesitantly.

Lu Sheng smiled. “Keep it. I'll come over again next time.”

Fu Ting smiled. “Okay, be careful on the way.”

The three of them nodded slightly.

When she passed by the Lu family, Lu Sheng sent a message to the family chat.

“I'm not coming back today. I'll go to school.”

Soon, there was a response.

“Okay!”

“Roger that.”

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow and exited the conversation.

It was afternoon and the sun was shining brightly outside.

After the heavy rain last night, the sky was especially clean.

The sky was almost blue, and the clouds were so small that they could be ignored.

On the way to the Liu family, the three of them did not speak.

When she entered, she heard sorrowful cries.

Even Lu Sheng, who was used to seeing death, could not get used to such a scene.

Chu Hongzhong walked in front while she and Chu Yan followed behind silently.

The three of them had just entered the mourning hall when Lu Sheng saw a disheveled woman kneeling in front of the coffin and crying.

CEO Liu's soul was standing beside her and looking at her with a sorrowful gaze.

Lu Sheng and Chu Yan followed Chu Hongzhong to offer incense to CEO Liu before leaving.

When she reached the door, she heard a woman in black say to the man beside her, “This Han Zi is quite a loyal person.”
