Lu Xingchen

“......” Xuanyi.

Though she was simple, she wasn't foolish.

From Lu Xingchen’s words, she had already gathered that they definitely knew each other.

It was just that for some unknown reason, their relationship didn't seem very harmonious.

Chen Xiao chuckled, “How was it? Old Lu must have talked about our profound revolutionary friendship, right?”

“......” Xuanyi.

“Uh... Ah, yes, my dad said he was grateful to have met you.”

Chen Xiao waved his hand, “It was nothing, just a small favor. Anyone would have helped.”

When Xuanyi heard that he had even helped her dad, she became even more confused.

“Did something unpleasant happen between you two?”

Chen Xiao was startled, “No? Why would you ask that?”

Xuanyi said, “Strange, then why did he... why did he say you were a scumbag......”

Chen Xiao: “......”

Damn it! Old Lu, you're protecting your daughter, but you can't slander me like that!

Although what he said was somewhat true, this......

At this point, Chen Xiao suddenly remembered something.

Holy cow! Old Lu, how dare you criticize me? Your own ass isn't clean either, alright!

Aunt Tian Shuman has already chosen to forgive you......

Chen Xiao then thought of the sister Xuanyi had never met on the private jet......

Holy cow!

Suddenly, everything connected.

“Xuanyi.”

“Hmm?”

“Do you have a sister?”

Xuanyi shook her head, “No, I’m an only child.”

“......” Chen Xiao.

Damn it, Lu Xingchen! How dare you call me a scumbag?

“Oh, that’s great, we truly have a connection. I’m also an only child, haha......”

“......” Xuanyi.

As the two pondered their respective doubts, Chen Xiao suddenly received a text message.

【Chen Xiao, do you know my daughter? I treat you like a brother who has gone through life and death with me, you can't covet my daughter!】

Chen Xiao: “......”

【Old Lu, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of her.】

No sooner had this message been sent than Uncle Fu arrived with a group of bodyguards.

“Miss, Mr. Lu wants you to return to Modu immediately.”

Chen Xiao was speechless. Mr. Lu was really something, did he have to guard his daughter so tightly?

Xuanyi was clearly displeased, “I told you not to disturb me when I’m meeting friends.”

Uncle Fu looked troubled, “But Mr. Lu......”

Xuanyi sighed, “I’m sorry, Uncle Fu, I shouldn’t blame you. Never mind, I’ll call him myself.”

With that, she dialed.

“Hello? Dad, I’m on a date with a friend, I’m not coming back.”

“No, your friend is a scumbag, come back quickly!”

“Hmph, didn’t you say you didn’t know Chen Xiao? Big liar, you’re still trying to trick me!”

“......” Lu Xingchen.

“No, daughter, listen to me, I was afraid you’d be tricked, that’s why I tricked you.”

Xuanyi was stunned, “So you still tricked me first, you’re the liar, I’m not going back, I’ll tell Grandpa later!”

“Hey, hey, hey? Daughter, if you don’t come back, then don’t come back, don’t disturb your grandpa, he shouldn’t get angry lately.”

Xuanyi rolled her eyes, “Goodbye.”

Uncle Fu and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Although the young lady was gentle and kind, she also had her own strong convictions.

When only Chen Xiao and Xuanyi were left, Xuanyi asked, “Do you... have a girlfriend?”

Chen Xiao was startled, several beautiful faces flashed through his mind.

Then he said calmly, “No, I’m single.”

“Oh...... Then why does my dad always say you’re a scumbag......”

Chen Xiao: “......”

“Maybe there are just a lot of girls who like me.”

Xuanyi nodded, “My mom said that only excellent boys will be liked by many girls.”

Chen Xiao slightly puffed out his chest, “Auntie said it too well, I am an excellent boy.”

“Hehehehe~~~”

Xuanyi laughed, “How can someone praise themselves like that?”

Chen Xiao spread his hands, “No choice, I wanted to be humble, but my strength doesn’t allow it......”

The small painted boat was filled with Xuanyi’s bell-like laughter.

Although she knew Chen Xiao was bragging, the interesting words he spoke, which she had never heard before, made her unable to help but laugh out loud.

It wasn't until past ten o'clock that the two, chatting and laughing, said goodbye by the Qin River, and made an appointment for Xuanyi to play the host next time they went to Modu.

Watching Xuanyi’s motorcade drive away, Chen Xiao couldn't help but murmur to himself, “The wealthy white swan... is also very interesting.”

“Old Lu, should our brotherhood be upgraded?”

...

On the other side, Uncle Fu held the watch Chen Xiao had given him and said, “Miss, how should this watch be stored? There isn’t anything this cheap at home. How about we put it in the cheapest box, the one for five million?”

Xuanyi smiled and said, “No, I’ll wear this one.”

Uncle Fu: “......”

Mr. Lu, your precious daughter is about to be abducted......

“Yes.”

In the back seat of the top-tier Maybach, which was decorated into a pink world, Xuanyi, in her own little world, rested her delicate chin, lost in thought...

......

After returning home, he had just spent a moment with Xi Yunru when he received a call from Lu Xingchen.

“Brother Chen, you’re not being honest!”

Lu Xingchen immediately started with andissatisfied accusation.

Chen Xiao smiled, said nothing else, and only replied, “Brother Lu, I’ve met Xuanyi’s half-sister.”

On the other end, Lu Xingchen’s breathing hitched, then he quickly whispered, “You, you didn’t tell Xuanyi, did you?”

“No, I didn’t, but I was thinking about whether to tell Aunt Tian. She has, after all, forgiven you.”

“No, no, no! Brother Chen, you’re still young and don’t understand women. They say one thing, think another, and do something else behind your back. We can’t figure them out......”

“......” Chen Xiao.

Goodness, Old Lu understands quite deeply.

“Oh, alright then. Do you have anything else for me?”

Lu Xingchen cursed inwardly, ‘You little brat, I’ve got my tail in your hand, what else can I say?’

“Nothing, let’s get together for a casual meal sometime.”

“Okay, contact me then.”

With that, he hung up the phone.

He found it a bit funny. Old Lu should be a person of status, yet he was a doting father and afraid of his wife. Was it because of love?

Chen Xiao opened his computer and typed in Lu Xingchen.

【Chairman of Xingchen Capital Group, Partner of Qingshan International Capital Group......】

Holy cow!

Chen Xiao had thought he would be very rich, perhaps even richer than Jinning's richest man, Yan Zhiyuan, but he never expected him to be this rich.

Lu Xingchen’s investments spanned various fields.

Medicine, chemicals, energy, Financial, real estate, infrastructure, and so on, across the board.

And he was also the third largest shareholder of Qingshan Capital.

That was a famous international investment institution on the surface of this world, specializing in incubating startup companies globally.

It could be said that most of the star enterprises in China were more or less related to Lu Xingchen.

Chen Xiao watched for a long time, only able to describe it with 'holy cow'.

Many of the companies he controlled were not listed, and he heard that he had many industries abroad. Chen Xiao roughly calculated that he must have over a trillion, both openly and secretly.

However, his name did not appear on any rich list.

But, Lu Xingchen being rich was one thing, it had nothing to do with him.

After watching for a while, he closed the computer and went to rekindle the romance with Xi Yunru.
