Chapter 163: Does Yiru know Ah Yu?
Lu Jingchen’s aim was to rain on Mu Siyin’s parade that night. He wanted to slap some sense into her. It was time for her to understand that she and Shi Beiyu were impossible.
Otherwise, she would be miserable in the future.
“Let’s go.”
As Shi Beiyu disappeared from their sight, Lu Jingchen got up and pulled Mu Siyin along.
Mu Siyin did not want to go anywhere but calm her thoughts for a moment.
“Don’t pull me, Cuz. I want to be alone for a while.”
Lu Jingchen replied, “It’s not the time now. You’ll have all the time you need when you get back tonight.”
Upon saying so, he forcefully pulled Mu Siyin onto her feet.
Mu Siyin did not want to attract any attention. So, she dropped her head slightly as she followed her cousin and headed towards Shi Beiyu’s direction…
Shi Beiyu followed Mother Shi into the side hall of the main lobby. In there sat Old Master Shi, dressed in a maroon-colored Tangzhuang.
The old man was surrounded by people. Nevertheless, all of them were extremely powerful and could influence the state of the capital with a small move.
As Mother Shi walked towards them with Shi Beiyu and the others, the people nodded their heads and joked, “Were you frightened by all the young tonight, Ah Yu? You didn’t even bother showing your face.”
The one who had just spoken was the Old Master from the Leng family. It was Leng Jiuchen’s paternal grandpa, Old General Leng.
When Shi Beiyu heard this, he had no choice but to come forward from behind his friends. He replied politely, “What a joke, Grandpa Leng. I was discussing some matters with Ah Jiu and the others upstairs. That’s why I came late. Please don’t be offended.”
Old Master Shi laughed out loud. “None taken. I’m afraid all the other ladies are probably losing their patience by now.”
Sitting next to Old Master Leng, Old Master Shi could not help but laugh. “Just go straight to the point with him. Introduce your beloved granddaughter to him now.”
Upon saying so, a woman who sat in the corner stood up. A white dress hung onto her body as she stood up gracefully from her seat. Then, she walked forward elegantly and stood next to Shi Beiyu. The woman looked at Old Master Shi as she smiled shyly. “There’s no need for that, Grandpa Shi.”
Huo Sikai, Shi Ran, and the other men’s eyes popped the moment the woman stood up.
Sheesh! Who knew that Old Master Shi had brought along such a treasure?
Everyone instantly turned their gaze to Leng Jiuchen. The man furrowed his brows lightly and looked rather surprised by this too.
Old Master Shi raised an eyebrow curiously. “Oh? Does Yiru know Ah Yu?”
The first impression that Yue Yiru gave off was that she was a pure, naive, and elegant woman. Her beauty was one of a kind, and her every move was graceful. She carried an air of gentleness around her that made her unforgettable.
This type of woman was the perfect daughter-in-law that powerful families sought.
Old Master Shi started to poinder after he saw her. If Shi Beiyu liked her, then this would really be a match made in heaven.
From what Yiru said, it seemed like she and Shi Beiyu were old friends.
Old Master Shi was overjoyed by this unexpected turn of events.
After Old Master Shi’s question, Yue Yiru smiled faintly and looked at the cold Shi Beiyu next to her. She blushed slightly.
“Young Master Shi and I were in the same university when I was studying abroad. He was two years senior to me, so he didn’t know much about me.”
Old Master Shi and Old Master Leng were ecstatic to hear Yue Yiru’s explanation.
“Why haven’t you mentioned this before, Little Ru?” Old Master Leng could not help but ask.
Yue Yiru looked embarrassed as she chuckled. “We’ve never talked before, so we’re not considered friends. That’s why…”
