791 The Situation Has Changed
The group of people around the girl also nodded. When someone started, the others also said, “Sorry, Lu Shaoyang. I have something to do at home. Let’s go out and play another day.”
“Me too. I’m not feeling well either. I’ll take my leave first.”
“Aiya, look at my memory. I forgot that I have to go home for dinner today. I’m running out of time. I’ll also make a move first.”
Almost everyone wanted to leave. Knowing that Lu Shaoyang might treat them as fools, who would want to stay here? It was already because of the good upbringing they had received that they didn’t fall out with Lu Shaoyang. More importantly, their family didn’t know the true face of the Lu Corporation! They had to go home and have a good chat with their families!
How did things become like this in such a short time? Lu Shaoyang’s eyes were filled with confusion. He anxiously tried to make them stay, “This… We haven’t finished our discussion yet. Why don’t we have a meal first and settle this?” He had not forgotten his mission. Unfortunately, he did not know that his goal was destined to be unsuccessful, and it had even implicated Lu Guo. The Lu Corporation was destined not to have any rich fools investing in them.
Lu Shaoyang’s words made everyone run even faster.
“We’ll talk about this later.” Someone replied vaguely, “It’s not a small matter, we have to go home and discuss it with our families first.”
“Didn’t you say that you didn’t want to tell your family and wanted to show them some results?” Lu Shaoyang had a bad premonition, but he realized that his “friends” who wanted to invest in him seemed to have changed their minds. He was so anxious that he was at a loss. Lu Shaoyang forced a smile and said jokingly, “Didn’t we agree to invest in it secretly and then surprise our family? ”
“Aiyo, wasn’t that just a casual remark?” Everyone laughed dryly. “This is such a big matter. I should discuss it with my family. Otherwise, my father will break my legs if he finds out.”
“That’s right. We’re not kids anymore. It’s too childish to do these rebellious things.” Someone said to Lu Shaoyang, “Alright, we’re really busy. We’ll stop here today. We’ll take our leave first. We’ve transferred all of today’s expenses to you.”
Soon, the lively venue was empty. Lu Shaoyang was confused. He grabbed the person who walked the slowest and asked, “What’s going on?” Why did everyone go back on their word for no reason?
The man didn’t expect that he would be caught. He was in a difficult position for a while. After a while, he sighed and patted Lu Shaoyang’s shoulder, saying vaguely, “It’s not that we’re not friends, but we’re not fools…” Then, he waved his hand and ran away while Lu Shaoyang was still stunned.
Lu Shaoyang stood there in a daze. What did he mean? Did these people know? No, that was impossible. The news had been well hidden. In order to create the current momentum, they invested a lot of money. How could they have found out? Lu Shaoyang tried to convince himself again and again, but he was already panicking. He wiped his face hard and turned to leave.
Shen Hanxing did not see Lu Shaoyang’s predicament, but she could guess what would happen. However, she was not concerned about it at the moment. Ji Qian, Ji Ning, and Ji Mo went to get their tools while she and Ji Yan held hands as they walked towards the lake where they were fishing. They stopped under a lush banyan tree. This banyan tree was obviously quite old, with luxuriant branches and thick trees, blocking the scorching sun outside.
Shen Hanxing tilted her head and looked at Ji Yan. Her eyes were filled with a clear smile, and there were hooks in her eyes.
“What are you looking at, my wife?” Ji Yan’s throat was dry from Shen Hanxing’s direct gaze. His adam’s apple bobbed as he asked in a low voice, “Did I do something wrong?”
“No, you’re still as handsome as ever, Mr. Ji. No, I think you’re more handsome now,” Shen Hanxing said with a smile.
Why did she say that? Ji Yan looked at Shen Hanxing in confusion.
“I kept looking at you when I was shooting the arrow,. Mr. Ji.” Shen Hanxing stretched out her fair hand and pressed Ji Yan against the thick tree trunk. She looked up at him with a focused gaze. She continued, “It made my heart beat faster. I just want to kiss you, Mr. Ji.” As she spoke, she stood on her tiptoes and pecked him on the lips twice. After the kiss, she still felt a little unsatisfied, so she bit his thin lips slowly.
