Chapter 1167 Image Decline
Lu Jiang stood up and walked forward.
"Lan'er."
Lu Jiang shouted and reached out to pull Zhou Lan'er's hand.
Zhou Lan'er glared angrily, immediately threw his hand away, and leaned aside, "Brother, why did you call him here too?"
The visitors were Zhou Haoyu and his wife and his sister. Zhou Haoyu frowned when he heard his sister's impolite words and scolded her in a low voice, "Lan'er, how can you talk like that?"
Zhuang Shiqi glanced at her aunt, then at Lu Jiang, and called out softly, "Brother, when did you come back?"
"It's been a while." Lu Jiang smiled and rubbed Seventeen's head. "You're beautiful again. It seems you're living a happy life after marriage."
"Yeah." Zhuang Shiqi nodded with a smile, raised her eyes to glance at her husband, and subconsciously leaned towards him, showing her dependence and love.
"Qiqi and I are in a free love relationship. We are a match made in heaven, how can we not be happy?" Zhou Haoyu said with a smile, raised his hand to push his sister towards him, and scolded her loudly, "It's okay to be willful, but Lu Jiang is your sister-in-law's brother. Even if you have forgotten your past feelings, you should still call him brother. Don't be so unruly as you get older!"
"Brother, you know..."
"You know what? This is Chen Palace. We can come, but your brother Lu Jiang can't? It's fate that we meet. We all know each other. He is your sister-in-law's brother. What's wrong with us sitting together and relaxing?" Zhou Haoyu said the whole cause and effect, and then looked at his sister.
Zhou Lan'er felt uncomfortable emotionally when she saw Lu Jiang. She just wanted to stay away from him and put on a sullen face.
She is not a child anymore. It would be strange if she felt good to be scolded by her brother in such a public place.
"Then you guys just relax and don't worry about me!" Zhou Lan'er turned and entered the lively dance floor, and was quickly drowned in the crowd.
"I'm so worried... Brother, don't worry, Lan'er is just like that, she doesn't mean anything else."
Lu Jiang interrupted Zhou Haoyu's explanation and said with a smile, "It's okay. She's still wary of me. It's good for girls to be a little cautious in such situations."
In addition to those who come to the bar to relieve loneliness and find their goals, there are also women who come here purely to relax. They are not lonely, nor are they looking for encounters. They come with a few friends, like Zhou Lan'er and Zhuang Shiqi.
Zhuang Shiqi felt a little uncomfortable when she saw her husband's attitude towards Lu Jiang. She thought her husband shouldn't be like this.
Zhao Haoyu's attitude towards Kou Quan and Lu Jiang was so different. He didn't even want to mention Kou Quan's name, but when it came to Lu Jiang, Shiqi actually felt that her husband was fawning over her.
Sometimes, it’s not the flattery that makes people annoying, but that tendency is unbearable, and that person is her husband.
The bartender led the three of them to a semi-enclosed area with a semi-curved sofa and a round table in the middle. The table was already set with a complimentary fruit plate sent by Chen Gong. Zhuang Shiqi sat down, and Zhou Haoyu asked the waiter to replace the fruit plate with fresh ones and ordered drinks.
"Just a small taste, okay?" Zhou Haoyu whispered to Zhuang Shiqi.
Zhuang Shiqi nodded, but her eyes kept looking at Lu Jiang.
Over the years, Zhuang Shiqi has seen Lu Jiang from time to time, but she didn't get to know him well. Today, when she suddenly saw him, she realized that Lu Jiang looked a lot like she remembered.
"Brother, why did you suddenly come back? I thought you would settle abroad." Zhuang Shiqi said with a smile.
Zhou Haoyu sat next to his wife and kissed her on the side of her face.
Yes, Lu Jiang loved his sister and his wife dearly. But Lu Jiang and Kou Quan were two completely different beings. Zhou Haoyu was particularly happy to see his sister and wife get close to Lu Jiang, but he was very bothered by Kou Quan's proximity.
Lu Jiang smiled and said, "If you don't come back, some things will no longer belong to you."
"Hehe..." Zhuang Shiqi smiled, but paused for a moment and seemed to understand what he meant.
Seventeen took a deep breath and said, "Brother, Lan'er and my brother are already engaged..."
"Qiqi, you only have one brother in your heart, right?" Lu Jiang asked with a smile, his expression remained the same, his eyes were deep and wise, his emotions were deeply hidden, and it was impossible to see through his thoughts.
"No..." Zhuang Shiqi said in frustration and slapped her head, "I'm sorry, I think I said the wrong thing."
Lu Jiang has been a bit unreasonable since he was a child. Being aggressive is his nature. If he doesn't want to let someone go, he will teach the other person a severe lesson no matter what.
Zhuang Shiqi knew that her two brothers had been at odds with each other since childhood. They had fought many times behind the adults' backs, and neither of them had lost.
Seventeen still remembers the way his two brothers fought until their heads were bleeding. Fortunately, they were not in the same school. If they had been in the same school, the hatred would have been even deeper.
The two people were originally at odds with each other, and then Lan'er appeared in between. Wouldn't these two people list each other as their number one enemy?
After all, Zhuang Shiqi grew up under the same roof with Kou Quan, so of course her heart leans towards Kou Quan.
Many times when the two of them were fighting to the death outside, she ran forward to block the attack and took a lot of beatings in vain.
So, Zhuang Shiqi doesn’t like Lu Jiang in her heart and doesn’t want to kiss him.
But Lu Jiang had a temper and was very vindictive. Of course, this was what Zhuang Shiqi saw. He would take revenge on anyone who treated him badly. In order to avoid getting into trouble, he gradually opened up to Lu Jiang after growing up. They were both brothers, so he couldn't be too partial to Kou Quan.
Zhou Haoyu held Seventeen's hand and smiled, "How could your brother be angry? Lu Jiang loves you so much."
Lu Jiang smiled and didn't respond. She had nothing to say, so Zhao Haoyu naturally turned the topic to work.
"I have always wanted to enter the Internet, but I don't know if the current prospects of the Internet are still so optimistic. Brother-in-law, what do you think?" Zhou Haoyu said with a smile.
Lu Jiang officially said a few words, but did not say anything constructive.
With his current wealth and status, could he possibly just talk about a business opportunity? He said all this would come at a price. So many big businessmen had asked him for advice, and the remuneration he paid them before and after was eye-watering.
Zhou Haoyu was a little anxious and wanted to ask some questions, but Lu Jiang just sat there like an old monk and answered whatever he asked. Of course, his answers were what any ordinary CEO would give, and there was nothing constructive in his words.
Zhuang Shiqi felt increasingly uncomfortable as she sat there. Her husband had always been a man of integrity, humorous, responsible, capable, and talented. But the more she listened to his words, the more vulgar he seemed. Zhuang Shiqi refused to accept her superior husband becoming a vulgar man who fawned over others for personal gain.
But business matters are not that simple. There are no fathers and sons in the business world, let alone childhood friends.
Zhuang Shiqi didn't understand what they were saying, but she could tell that her husband really wanted to get Lu Jiang close to him and do things for him.
Zhuang Shiqi turned to look at the dance floor, frowned, and said, "I'll go get Lan'er over."
