Chapter 154: Chapter 151: Chu Yan Learns the Truth About the Love Letter

"Alright."

She turned her head and saw him take a step back, a slight smile on his lips, appearing as a perfect gentleman, as if the person who had spoken those blatantly suggestive words in her ear was not him.

But, Chu Yan should be grateful he hadn’t done anything.

Otherwise, Qin Zhao wouldn’t have minded teaching him a lesson.

They both left together, and Qin Zhao told Su Xiaotong that there was no need to bring over the rented gown, but she still transferred the rental fee to Su Xiaotong.

Soon, they arrived at the Lu Family’s mansion.

As soon as Qin Zhao got out of the car, she began to scrutinize the aura surrounding the Lu Family’s home.

From the hill behind, a constant stream of malevolent energy was surging forth. The Lu Family had once commissioned a White Jade Bodhisattva, and on top of that, they donated a considerable amount of money for incense every year, so the White Jade Bodhisattva protected the Lu Family.

But as the malevolent energy grew in strength, it inevitably began to affect the Lu Family.

For example, this place was supposed to be a land of blessing, where Lu Tingming’s career should have flourished. Even if difficulties arose, there was a great chance of turning peril into safety.

Lu Tingming had started in a small town and was only able to rise to his current status with the support of the Xu Family.

But the support from the Xu Family alone was not enough; to be eligible to run for office, he also needed to possess exceptional ability and extraordinarily good luck.

All along, Lu Tingming had been fortunate.

Until the day he slapped Chu Yan and Qin Zhao found out about it.

Once Qin Zhao disrupted the Feng Shui array in his home, Lu Tingming’s luck started to decline sharply.

Chu Yan had made covert moves against Lu Tingming before, but several times they were evaded, or strange twists of fate would suddenly appear. Recently, however, setting traps seemed to work every single time.

After the evil ghost slapped Lu Tingming twice, he started searching for that Feng Shui master, hoping he could visit his home, but the master was nowhere to be found, rumored to have gone into reclusion.

So, Lu Tingming frequented the temple, donating a lot of money and even acquiring a Buddha statue’s jade pendant, which he wore around his neck every day without fail, dreadfully afraid of the evil ghost returning to haunt him.

If he hadn’t done cruel deeds, why would he be so fearful of the evil ghost ensnaring him?

Together, Qin Zhao and Chu Yan entered the banquet.

The banquet hadn’t started yet, so there weren’t many guests inside.

As they climbed the steps, numerous people turned to look toward the entrance.

In the eyes of the crowd, there was mostly admiration and amazement.

"Who are they? Truly a handsome couple with both looks and temperament."

"Their demeanor doesn’t seem like they are from ordinary families."

"The man is Chu Yan; he is the CEO of Huasheng Biomedical Group. This group has collaborated with the government to develop numerous crucial medical patents, all of which have been donated to the nation for free.

Not only that, but they are also very concerned with public welfare, consistently donating medical equipment and medicine to impoverished areas.

This young and promising CEO is only twenty-five years old and is a key executive under Mr. Lu, always the first to respond to some of Mr. Lu’s policies for the benefit of the people and a staunch supporter of the election."

A well-informed socialite was among them, as her family’s company had collaborated with Huasheng Biomedical Group, and she managed some projects for her company, having had the privilege to work with Chu Yan.

Through her explanation, the crowd’s gaze upon Chu Yan carried an even greater sense of respect.

"He is a regular guest at the Lu Family; Mr. Lu must think highly of him."

"The woman next to Chu Yan, who is she? Ordinary wealthy family daughters hardly match up to him, right?"

"I don’t know; I haven’t seen her before."

"She seems to be a minor celebrity; she looks a bit familiar."

The banquet at the Lu Family couldn’t compare to the one previously held by the Ruan Family; the scale was just different.

Typically, those who could come to the Lu Family’s were descendants of the top families in Imperial City.

Perhaps, they were family members of one of the top business magnates in the country.

Qin Zhao’s senses were very keen, and she overheard those people’s discussions—she hadn’t realized Chu Yan had such an identity, no wonder his bank account contained several hundred million in deposits.

Indeed, very few people knew about this identity of Chu Yan’s.

Huasheng Biomedical Group, when it was first established by Lu Tingming, was a state-owned enterprise. However, its development had been lackluster until Chu Yan graduated and joined the company with several medical patents.

As the business improved, Chu Yan, this son, finally caught the attention of Lu Tingming.

Even though there had been many misunderstandings in the past, after all, they shared the same bloodline, and Chu Yan had even apologized to his father. Thus, Lu Tingming gradually promoted him to become president.

In the past two years, Chu Yan mostly did not let him down.

"President Chu, Mr. Lu is asking for you in the study,"

a servant approached and said to Chu Yan.

Chu Yan nodded and looked at Qin Zhao, "You can wander around for a while; I’ll come find you later."

"Alright, go ahead."

Not long after Chu Yan left, Qin Zhao saw Shen Xihhe arrive at the doorway with Qin Kejing.

One after another, more guests arrived, including Xu Zhiwei.

Qin Zhao didn’t have much fondness for these two women, so she didn’t stay in the hall and went to the garden instead.

The reason Lu Tingming sought out Chu Yan was just for some matters regarding Huasheng Biomedical Group. The previous accident had been resolved, and there weren’t any significant issues at hand.

Due to the Mu Family’s predicament, Lu Tingming had almost lost his qualifications for the election.

He didn’t want anything else to happen that could affect his current status, so today, he primarily wanted to remind Chu Yan not to cause any more accidents.

Chu Yan arrived in the hall, searching for where Qin Zhao might be.

But after a full round, he hadn’t caught sight of her.

Just as he was about to head to the garden to look for her, he heard Qin Kejing talking with some people.

The topic of their conversation mentioned Qin Zhao’s name.

"Jingjing, what happened to your sister after she was kicked out of the family?"

"Speaking of Qin Zhao, It reminds me of the love letter she sent to Shen Xihhe."

"Hahahaha, I’m dying of laughter; what use is writing something so cheesy?

Shen Xihhe only likes Jingjing anyway."

"Back then, when you posted her love letters on the blackboard, I actually took a closer look.

There was a line that said ’Always have, always will.’ Everyone knows how bad Qin Zhao is at English—she scores last in tests—that line must have been copied from the internet."

"Stop it, just talking about it makes me want to laugh."

At these words, Chu Yan’s expression instantly turned extremely grim.

Always have, always will?

So those love letters were sent by Qin Zhao to Shen Xihhe—not to him???

The hand adorned with the wedding ring clenched tightly, and veins bulged on the back of his hand.

Very good, Qin Zhao, you’ve outdone yourself indeed!

At that moment, someone else spoke, "Back in the day, Qin Zhao truly loved Shen Xihhe. She waited outside his classroom every day and even brought him breakfast.

She even had her family pressure Shen Xihhe into an engagement with her. After getting engaged, she acted like Shen Xihhe was hers alone, forbidding any other woman from getting close."

Qin Kejing sneered, "In Xihe’s eyes, Qin Zhao was just a joke."
