Chapter 24 - 1.24 Couple Of The Year
The two people's appearance instantly drew people's attention. "Oh my God, is that...Old Master Meng?"
"Old Master Meng?! Didn't they say that he has retired already? What is he doing here? Oh, the beautiful girl with him... She must be Meng Yun. Old Master Meng always boasted about her every chance he got and now, I can see why."
"That's Old Master Meng and his dear granddaughter? Do they come specifically for the young master?"
"Ehem, I smell some conspiracy here. Do you think it's possible that Old Master Meng and CEO Lu are planning to...you know, introduce Young Master Ren and Miss Yun to each other?"
"Gasp! This will be a huge gossip!"
The ruckus finally pulled Ren Zexi's attention away from the cake. He lifted his head to see who it was but when his eyes landed on the girl in red cheongsam, he was stunned for a split second. It was like there's an invisible force that drew him to her but when he blinked again, the connection instantly severed as if it was never there.
What was that? Feeling weird, he turned sideways to find Lu Yizhou's gaze transfixed on the girl. The words stuck in his throat and once again, alarm bells rang in his mind. He had only felt the same danger from Jing Xuehao and now, he also felt it from this unknown girl?! Who was she?! Ren Zexi frowned. He felt instant dislike toward the two approaching strangers.
Lu Yizhou stepped forward and for the first fime tonight, greeted them on his own accord, his tone exceedingly polite and courteous. "Old Master Meng. Thank you for coming."
The elderly's hair was already painted white, yet he still retained vigor that no other men his age had. Guffawing, he patted Lu Yizhou's shoulders with familiarity. "Little Lu, you have really grown up to be an upstanding man. How time has flown, your father will be very proud if he sees you now."
