Mu Tingfeng had taken note of Zhao Youlin’s unusual reaction almost instantly. He frowned and quietly reached out to hold Zhao Youlin’s right hand, which had clenched into a fist. He gently but strongly unclenched her fist. Then, he crossed his fingers with hers and clasped their hands together to avoid

Zhao Youlin from hurting herself due to excessive force.

The familiar warmth coming from the palm of his hand calmed down Zhao Youlin’s restless heart, which had become agitated because of some speculation she had just formed in her mind.

Zhao Youlin turned her head to look at Mu Tingfeng. She shook her head, telling him that she was fine.

Judging by her reaction, Mu Tingfeng did not believe her. He tightened his grip on Zhao Youlin’s hand, as if he was trying to share Zhao Youlin’s inner turmoil at the moment.

The corner of Zhao Youlin’s lips curved a little. She lowered her head, stopping herself from staring at Lu Xiangtian and Lu Shu. She did not want the restless feeling she had to emerge again.

The small action between Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng did not attract the attention of the people present.

Su Ligiang listened to their conversation. As if he had realized something, he asked tentatively, “Four years ago? That means this is the reason you left the country four years ago…”

Lu Xiangtian glanced at Lu Shu. He smiled and said, “Not exactly, but my daughter is the main reason indeed.”

Hearing that, Lu Shu smiled as well. She reached out and held Lu Xiangtian’s arm, smiling at him like a child.

Lu Xiangtian, on the other hand, was indulgent toward her. He patted Lu Shu’s hand, without any hint of annoyance at her action, which surprised the crowd who had been watching them on the side.

The girl was probably the only person in the world who had the nerve to hold his arm intimately like that without worrying he would get mad. In an instant, most of the guests had already formed plans in their minds. They were thinking of currying favor with Lu Shu and befriending Lu Xiangtian through

her.

The expressions on Jiang Wenfang and Su Ligiang’s faces stiffened, but they put away the awkwardness and changed the subject. “Didn’t you just say you wanted to meet my father? My father is probably still up at this hour. Would you like to go upstairs and meet him first?”

Lu Xiangtian thought about it for a moment and nodded. “I will take Shu up to see the old man first. I wouldn’t want him to sleep late because of me.”

Jiang Wenfang and Su Ligiang imperceptibly heaved a sigh of relief. They gave Zhao Youlin, Mu Tingfeng a look, hinting to them to stay here and not to follow them.

No one could guess what was on Lu Xiangtian’s mind, but before he left with Jiang Wenfang and Su Ligiang, he turned around and looked deeply at Zhao Youlin.

Lu Shu did the same thing as well. She gave Zhao Youlin a deep glance as well without letting Lu Xiangtian notice it. Though her glance did not linger long on Zhao Youlin.

But Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng still accurately captured a trace of hostility hidden deep in her eyes.

Zhao Youlin knitted her brows again as a certain speculation started to take hold in her mind.

Lu Shu was hostile toward her, but… why? From her point of view, this was only their second meeting, but why was the animosity in her eyes so strong? Was it because the original Zhao Youlin and her had some personal vendetta, or was it because

After Lu Wenfang and Mu Tingfeng left with Lu Xiangtian, the banquet immediately became loud and lively again. Despite people acting as if nothing had happened, things were obviously not as calm as before.

After the event, Zhao Youlin’s mood was ruined. She had been left spacing out for the rest of the evening.

‘Mu Tingfeng was concerned about her, but because there were too many people at the banquet, he could not ask Zhao Youlin directly.

Fortunately, Lu Xiangtian and Lu Shu did not stay in Su Residence for long. After staying upstairs for a while, they came back downstairs with Jiang Wenfang and Su Ligiang. They had a brief meeting with the groom, Ye Yan again. After congratulating him, they left in as much of a hurry as they had come.

Zhao Youlin held out until the banquet was over. It was already late at night by then.

After saying goodbye to so many guests, Jiang Wenfang and Su Ligiang personally walked out the best men and the brides.

“Thank you so much for your help today. Otherwise, with just us and Ye Yan, we would have been swamped here.”

Su Jifeng was there too, but he was totally unreliable. They were just grateful enough that he did not make any mess, not to mention asking him to help.

They hastily waved their hands and said, “No trouble at all. It’s the least we can do.”

The grins on Jiang Wenfang and Su Ligiang’s faces grew wider. After exchanging pleasantries with them and offering them a courtesy invitation to come hang out next time, they asked their drivers to send them home.

Considering that the best men and bridesmaids would have to drink during the banquet, they did not drive here when they came. They were picked up and sent back by the drivers of the Su family.

After saying goodbye to others, Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng, who drove here and did not have any drink tonight, stayed until the end.

After watching the cars leave, Jiang Wenfang and Su Ligiang turned to them with her face darkened. She said, “Remember Mr. Lu from just now?”

Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng were stunned a little before they nodded.

“That man has a complicated background. Even our Su family wouldn’t be able to walk away unscathed if we offended him. So if you ever have to deal with him in the future, just try your best to avoid him. Don’t go head-to-head with him. Also, always remember this — you mustn’t offend that man just

now, and don’t get too involved with him. Understood?”

Jiang Wenfang’s words had fully explained her and Su Ligiang’s strange attitude toward Lu Xiangtian, as their enthusiasm just now somehow seemed a little bit lacking of sincerity. Though Zhao Youlin was relieved.

The Su family and Lu Xiangtian were not some kind of close business partners, which meant that the Su family had really quit their underworld business and were gradually wiping the slate clean as Mu Tingfeng told her. They were not like Lu Xiangtian, who was still deeply involved in the illegal world.

She was just being paranoid.

“Yes, we understand. Thank you for reminding us, Uncle Ligiang, Aunt Wenfang.” Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng nodded and told them they understood.

“Alright now. It’s been a long day. You must be really tired. It’s getting late now. Go home and have an early night.”

After saying goodbye to them, Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng left Su Residence.

Unbeknownst to them, not long after Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng left the house, Mu Tingfeng stopped the car by the roadside.

‘Mu Tingfeng turned around and looked at Zhao Youlin.. His gaze was intense as he asked, “What was going on with you in Su Residence just now?”
