Shen Jingyu and Rong Xigu, two sharp-eyed individuals, had long noticed Mu Beiming's arrival. Moreover, the two women within a ten-meter radius were unable to escape the watchful gaze of the two hawk-eyed men.
Mu Beiming swiftly made his way over to Shen Jingyu and the others. As some of the city's most prominent figures, they were no strangers to Lu Xiangzhuang. The group exchanged familiar pleasantries, a scene that was quite uncomfortable for Mu Beiyao to witness.
"That person Qin Bing brought seems a bit odd, doesn’t he? He appears to be avoiding those men over there!" Mu Beiyao remarked, scanning the crowd. She realized it wasn't the right time for her to lose her temper. The entire venue was bustling with people going about their business in an orderly manner.
Only the man who had come with Qin Bing stood out, his shifty eyes darting around. "Isn’t he your former partner?" Su Xing followed Mu Beiyao's gaze, noticing the man holding a wine glass while seemingly scrutinizing the layout of the venue. He wanted to steal a glance at Shen Jingyu but seemed fearful of being noticed.
Qin Bing seemed to catch on to this as well and explained to his friends, "He’s definitely not my former partner; this one is new, my superior. His name is Zhan Lei."
Su Xing's mind immediately snapped into focus. "What did you say his name was? Which Zhan? Where did he come from?"
Lu Xiangyi suddenly grew serious and blurted out, "What Zhan? What are his two characters?"
Mu Beiyao and Qin Bing exchanged surprised glances at their two friends' reactions. "Why are you both so agitated?"
Qin Bing recalled jokingly that Zhan Lei claimed to hail from a country known for its battles, born amidst the thunder of warfare, which explained his name. "As far as I know, he seems to have come from a Western country but grew up here. He even attended your high school, Su Xing."
Su Xing thought to himself, This is bad. It turned out that there were already too many eyes on that man around her.
I must tell Rong Xigu about this! Lu Xiangyi hesitated for a moment before hurrying towards Rong Xigu, who was standing a short distance away.
As Lu Xiangyi approached quickly, Rong Xigu had his back turned but seemed to sense her presence. Just before she reached him, he turned around to see her rushing towards him. A warmth spread through his heart as the coolness in his expression softened.
"What’s wrong, Xiang Yi? Slow down; you’re wearing high heels!" Rong Xigu scolded lightly, his tone firm yet cold.
Yet in the eyes of others, there was an unmistakable tenderness in his demeanor.
"Rong Xigu! I need to tell you something!" Lu Xiangyi exclaimed in urgency, nearly calling him by the childhood nickname she often used.
However, she quickly dismissed her slip of tongue and grasped Rong Xigu's wrist, pulling him slightly closer before leaning in to whisper what she had just learned.
A smile gradually faded from Rong Xigu's face as he cast a dangerous glance into the distance. When he caught sight of that person's face, he did not linger for long.
"Don't leave my sight tonight! Go do what you need to do. We'll take care of the rest."
Lu Xiangyi looked up at Rong Xigu, who was gazing at her with a reassuring expression. She quickly calmed down; sometimes, she had to admit that she trusted this man's abilities!
Just like all this time, Lu Xiangyi had always believed that in Rong Xigu's heart, there was only her!
She turned and left, heading back to her sisters.
Lu Xiangzhuang looked at his little heiress with exasperation: this child had completely overlooked him. "Rong Xigu, have you really come back to acknowledge that you're my brother-in-law?"
Although Lu Xiangzhuang couldn't manage his sister, he still felt that this submissive and iron-willed brother-in-law was not enough to handle his sister.
Rong Xigu smiled faintly and nodded, "I've been your brother-in-law for over ten years! That has never changed!"
Lu Xiangzhuang chuckled, "Just wait; the little girl hasn't exhausted her tricks yet."
Rong Xigu certainly knew that!
Just moments ago, Lu Xiangyi had managed to rein in her words and retract the title of 'Brother Rong' she had almost blurted out. This proved that their future would undoubtedly be long and winding, but he remained calm and unhurried. As long as he could stay by Lu Xiangyi's side throughout his life, he would always be there to embrace her.
Later, seizing the opportunity at the right moment, Rong Xigu pulled Shen Jingyu aside to discuss what Lu Xiangyi had just told him.
Shen Jingyu observed that man just like Rong Xigu: for now, there seemed to be no immediate danger. They were likely just watching.
After the last incident disrupted their trafficking routes, they would surely take action. At this moment, all they needed to do was prepare their defenses and wait for the right moment!
Rong Xigu exchanged glances with Shen Jingyu; this person would also keep an eye on their target in the future!
After a busy round of activities, as the evening event was about to begin, Shen Jingyu approached Su Xing with an air of confidence.
A familiar scent and strength wrapped around Su Xing's waist in a way that felt as if it had been done a million times before, bringing comfort and familiarity to both Su Xing and Shen Jingyu.
"Star, will there be any auction items designed by you tonight?" Shen Jingyu asked as he looked at the segments displayed on the big screen, most of which were related to jewelry. There would eventually be an auction segment.
There would be exhibits and designs already claimed by others; it was likely that the wealthy Shen would not be able to acquire this designer's carefully crafted masterpieces!
Su Xing understood Shen Jingyu well; there seemed to be some strange possessiveness about him.
Back when Su Xing first developed an interest in design, she had actually created a conceptual watch for both herself and Su He.
She had long since given the design sketches to Shen Jingyu; without the original drafts, Su Xing hadn't considered producing that watch.
A few days ago, he accidentally discovered a watch in Shen Jingyu's study that looked incredibly familiar; it was one of his own designs.
Su Xing sometimes felt a mix of admiration and frustration towards this man. He could charm women effortlessly, yet at times, he seemed like a typical oblivious guy.
Shen Jingyu, with a particularly proud and stubborn demeanor, declared, "I don’t need to buy one. In my lifetime, I will only accept the exclusive design you create for me!"
Su Xing couldn't help but smile sweetly at his words, then shyly touched the tip of her nose with her fingers to hide her earlier smile.
However, Shen Jingyu quickly shifted the conversation, asking, "Just now, when you sensed danger, why didn’t you tell me right away?"
Lu Xiangyi had already rushed to inform Rong Xigu to be cautious of Zhan Lei. Yet here Su Xing was, only instructing others to keep an eye on him?
With a calm expression, Su Xing replied, "Before any danger occurs, it’s most important to make arrangements and prepare as quickly as possible. Since I have the ability to do so, why waste more time and trouble you with unnecessary concerns? It would only drain your energy, wouldn’t it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed Shen Jingyu's expression darken.
Su Xing blinked and quickly added an explanation: "I was just prioritizing the immediate situation. Discussing such matters in a crowded place isn’t appropriate. It’s better if we wait until we’re home tonight and can talk privately."
