Lu Zechuan didn’t give him face, that’s because they were of the same generation. Lu Zechuan was used to being above others, but even his own grandmother was present. Would Lu Zechuan dare not show his grandmother respect? After all, his grandmother was the biological mother of Lu Zechuan’s aunt! Across two generations, would Lu Zechuan dare to be presumptuous again? "Came to nothing?" Lu Zefang, however, seemed unaware of Wu Yong’s impatience. With a slight raise of her eyebrows, her tone was somewhat casual, "There are plenty of girls nowadays, if you miss one you can find another." Although Lu Zefang was a girl, it was obvious that she didn’t have enough respect for other girls. Wu Yong’s expression finally looked a bit better, "Sister Fang is right." Xie Yun, that damn bitch, dared to show him a face, truly not knowing her own worth! Ha, don’t even dream about it! If she doesn’t marry him, he’ll make sure Xie Yun can’t marry anyone else! Wu Yong’s expression shifted as he calculated how to get back at Xie Yun after venting his anger here. While Wu Yong was planning his comeback, a commotion suddenly erupted at the door. His gaze immediately turned to the entrance, and there he saw the two people who shamed him yesterday, Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian. The two who embarrassed him yesterday now shone like the sun. What was originally Lu Zefang’s event, once they appeared, nearly all the guests flocked to them. Wu Yong saw with his own eyes, the young masters of the Fu Family, Ji Family, and Gu Family gathered around Xia Mian, smiling, their attitudes amicable, displaying a humility he had never seen before! Wu Yong disdainfully rolled his eyes, spitting heavily, "Bah! Just because she leaned on the big tree that is Lu Zechuan, she really thinks she’s something remarkable!" Lu Zefang laughed softly, "Don’t lose your temper, when she offends you, just find an opportunity to give her a hard time, but don’t go too far." Today was her event, and Xia Mian grabbed all the attention as soon as she arrived. Clearly, she didn’t regard her at all! A woman so ignorant should be well taught by someone like Wu Yong! Wu Yong glanced at Lu Zefang and let out a mocking laugh, "Sister Fang, do you think I have ’stupid’ written on my forehead?" He had just suffered because of offending Xia Mian at Lu Zechuan’s place yesterday, and now he was supposed to go provoke Xia Mian again? Ha, he might be a rascal, but he’s not an idiot! Lu Zefang raised her eyebrow, "If you don’t dare, then keep that dissatisfied face to yourself!" After a pause, Lu Zefang continued, "Lu Zechuan doesn’t tolerate nonsense. If you show Xia Mian attitude in front of him, just with his protective nature, he’d even drive you away lightly!" After saying this, Lu Zefang stopped talking to Wu Yong and stood up to leave. The young masters of the other three families were all gathered around Xia Mian, their attitude towards her genuinely respectful, which was quite a rarity! "Young Master Gu, Young Master Fu, Young Master Ji... I’m honored that you all came to my welcoming banquet!" Lu Zefang stepped forward, a smile on her face. She was naturally attractive, and with years of being cultivated in a prestigious family, her demeanor was indeed poised and impeccable. Gu Xiao, Fu Jingtian, and Ji Hua turned to glance at Lu Zefang, gave her a perfunctory smile, and then turned back to continue chatting with Xia Mian. The trio’s attitude displeased Lu Zechuan. Xia Mian was his fiancée, yet these three were circling her like ravenous dogs eyeing a bone, what were they trying to do? "Gentlemen, since you’re here for my cousin’s welcoming banquet, please do sit inside!" Lu Zechuan’s face turned stern, suppressing the urge to explode on the spot. All three young masters were shrewd; they couldn’t miss Lu Zechuan’s displeasure. However, they were grateful to Xia Mian for helping their families recently, so meeting their benefactor naturally made them a bit excited. "Very well, Miss Xia, I’ll talk to you later then!" Ji Hua smiled at Xia Mian before reluctantly following Gu Xiao away. The Ji Family’s relationship with the Lu Family wasn’t particularly great, so Ji Hua’s older cousins refused to attend Lu Zefang’s welcoming banquet. Therefore, Ji Hua, being the third house’s young master, volunteered to come. Seeing Lu Zefang wasn’t important; what mattered was Lu Zechuan would likely show up, and where Lu Zechuan was, Xia Mian was bound to be present. He specifically came for Xia Mian. After the barbecue incident last time, Ji Changxing and Mu Keying didn’t allow him out for several days. Ji Ling seemed to have drawn a line between them, no longer as affectionate as before. Ji Hua felt uneasy, surely his own sister wouldn’t really want him dead? With worries on his mind, Ji Hua sat aside drinking wine, and soon, Gu Xiao and Fu Jingtian joined him. Only then did Lu Zechuan hold Xia Mian’s hand and enter the banquet hall, leaving Lu Zefang, the hostess, somewhat sidelined. Instantly, Lu Zefang’s face darkened. While Lu Zechuan came to her welcoming banquet, he didn’t want to pay her any heed! Wasn’t this stepping on her face? Face darkening, Lu Zefang caught up to Lu Zechuan, "Ah Chuan, are you still mad at sister?" Lu Zefang understood most about adapting to circumstances. Currently, the Lu Family was under Lu Zechuan’s control, and she couldn’t afford to offend him. Lu Zechuan finally turned his head slightly to glance at Lu Zefang, "Cousin, now that you’re back home, go ahead and work diligently here." Lu Zechuan didn’t address Lu Zefang’s comments but changed the topic instead. Forgiveness? He was never someone magnanimous, forgiving was impossible! "I want to help at your company first." Lu Zefang smiled lightly, subtly expressing her desire to enter the Lu Family’s company. Lu Zechuan lowered his gaze slightly, "If cousin wants to enter the Lu Family’s company, then start from the ground up. If you can accept that, then go ahead!" Lu Zefang didn’t continue with the topic, but instead glanced at Xia Mian, "Your girlfriend looks quite young, already rushing into marriage?" Lu Zechuan’s brows furrowed again, his thin lips slightly curling, mocking, "Cousin’s not that old either, isn’t she in a hurry to market herself?" What kind of welcoming banquet needs to invite the younger generation from the other three families? Ha, using the pretext of a welcoming banquet to pick a husband, isn’t it? With Lu Zechuan’s remark, Lu Zefang’s face immediately changed, but mindful of the occasion and her status, she merely smiled awkwardly before turning to leave. As soon as Lu Zefang left, Lu Zechuan felt the world became peaceful. "You don’t like socializing with others, so let’s just sit aside for a while and then we’ll leave!" When Lu Zechuan turned to Xia Mian, his expression softened, even his voice turned gentle with a hint of pampering. Xia Mian smiled and sat with Lu Zechuan in a corner. As soon as Xia Mian sat down, a shadow fell over her vision. She slightly looked up, only to see a fierce-looking old lady. Before Xia Mian could grasp the situation, the old lady was already banging on her dragon-headed cane, sneering, "Lu Family’s boy, is this girl your fiancée?"
