Chapter 623 - - The Past

Most people in Yuncheng knew that Chu Mochen had passed away.

However, few people would mention it in public.

Bai Jing frowned when she heard people say that Chu Mochen was dead.

She looked at Song Yunxuan in disgust and said with sarcasm, “That could explain everything. Someone is heartless. She loved him desperately in the past. Now that he just passed away, she immediately smiles flatteringly at other people, as if he has never appeared in front of her.”

Bai Jing’s remark was clearly aimed at Song Yunxuan.

However, Song Yunxuan didn’t get angry.

She even didn’t frown but said to Mei Qi, “Let’s go over there.”

Since Song Yunxuan said that she wanted to leave this place now, Mei Qi would not refuse.

After gently nodding, he was about to leave with Song Yunxuan.

Seeing Song Yunxuan was about to follow Mei Qi forward, Lu Feng frowned slightly and called to stop Song Yunxuan, “Miss Song, please stay.”

Lu Feng retained Song Yunxuan personally, which caused all the ladies, who were waiting to talk to Lu Feng, to be dissatisfied.

Lu Feng said to Song Yunxuan, “Miss Song, may I have the honor of walking with you?”

When Lu Feng said this, there were not only the ladies in their fine attire beside him but also the most gorgeous Gu Changle and striking Tan You.

Tan You wore a fiery red backless dress, which was sexy and sultry.

As Lu Feng’s friend, Tan You knew that something interesting would happen at this dinner. However, she didn’t expect that the drama started with Song Yunxuan.

Song Yunxuan heard Lu Feng invite her to go for a walk.

She wanted to refuse. However, when she thought of Lu Feng’s value in use for her and the jealous ladies around her, she felt amused.

She smiled and agreed, “With pleasure.”

“This way, please.”

Lu Feng asked the people behind him to push his wheelchair.

As Song Yunxuan followed Lu Feng’s direction, Mei Qi wanted to follow Song Yunxuan.

However, as soon as Mei Qi moved, Lu Feng stopped him with a smile and said, “Miss Song, shall we have a private moment? Your male partner doesn’t have to follow.”

Song Yunxuan looked at Mei Qi and motioned to Mei Qi not to follow her.

Mei Qi nodded in response. Although he agreed not to follow, he was a little worried.

He looked in Song Yunxuan’s direction for a long time before taking back his gaze.

Bai Jing thought Mei Qi handsome and elegant. Seeing that Mei Qi looked at Song Yunxuan with worried eyes, Bai Jing believed that the relationship between Mei Qi and Song Yunxuan was not simple.

Therefore, after a few more glances at Mei Qi, she frowned and chatted with the friends who came with her.

Mei Qi didn’t care what Bai Jing was saying.

But Gu Changle was interested in Bai Jing’s words.

Shao Tianze had wanted Gu Changle to go with him and greet some business partners.

However, Gu Changle walked directly to the crowd where Bai Jing was. Unable to stop Gu Changle, Shao Tianze could only follow her to walk towards Bai Jing.

Before they got to Bai Jing, they heard Bai Jing talking to a woman in a little black dress, “Yangzi, I think Song Yunxuan can be called a dissolute woman. Childe Chu is pitiful. He died so young and so suddenly.”

The woman called Yangzi said monotonously, “His fate is tragic.”

“But Childe Chu’s fortune was good before he met Song Yunxuan.”

It was obvious that Bai Jing wanted others to think of something.

Hearing Bai Jing’s words, Gu Changle wanted to laugh.

After hearing Yangzi’s words, the other ladies who were chatting together thought for a while before they said in confusion, “Do you mean Song Yunxuan brought bad luck to her husband?”

These words immediately stunned the ladies around.

After being silent for a while, they began to lower their voices and discuss Song Yunxuan’s bad luck for her husband more enthusiastically.

Gu Changle wanted to join the discussion.

However, when she was about to join them, Shao Tianze reached out and pulled her away from them.

Gu Changle looked at Shao Tianze with some dissatisfaction, “Why don’t you allow me to listen?”

“There is nothing worth listening to. It’s just a guess without evidence.”

Hearing Shao Tianze’s words, Gu Changle was displeased, “Do you really not believe that Song Yunxuan brought bad luck to her husband?”

Most people in Yuncheng believed in superstitions such as physiognomy study and geomancy.

However, Shao Tianze didn’t believe that Song Yunxuan’s husband died because of her bad luck.

Gu Changle felt very unhappy to see that Shao Tianze didn’t belittle Song Yunxuan.

She pursed her lips and said, “What do you think Lu Feng is going to do with Song Yunxuan?”

“Just to chat.”

He said this.

However, Shao Tianze’s gaze was still in the direction where Song Yunxuan and Lu Feng had left.

No one knew whether Lu Feng invited Song Yunxuan alone for a chat or anything else.

Song Yunxuan was called away from the banquet by Lu Feng like this.

As this made the ladies at the banquet guess, Song Yunxuan also wondered what Lu Feng meant.

After Lu Feng and Song Yunxuan left the banquet hall, they went directly to the garden behind the villa.

It was September.

Many flowers were in full bloom.

While Song Yunxuan followed Lu Feng on the white gravel road in the garden, she found that the design of the road was clever.

Half of the road was uneven stones, and the other half was flat white slabs.

This design was for the convenience of a wheelchair.

Seeing Song Yunxuan staring at the white gravel road under her feet, Lu Feng said, “I am lame, so I ordered people to make the path in the garden like this.”

Song Yunxuan smiled, “It’s good. It’s easy to walk.”

Lu Feng said, “Miss Song, we didn’t know each other before. What did you think of me when you saw me today?”

Song Yunxuan was surprised because few people asked others’ views about them when they met for the first time.

Song Yunxuan said, “I have no view. Mr. Lu, you are the master. We are guests. What kind of views can a guest have about the master hosting the banquet? I thank you very much for your hospitality.”

“Miss Song, you are young, but you speak properly.”

Lu Feng looked at Song Yunxuan, feeling interesting in his heart.

He had thought that the woman who won the Song Family was a complicated one. Today, it seemed that Song Yunxuan was not as complicated as he had imagined.

While following Lu Feng, Song Yunxuan knew very well that Lu Feng’s questions were testing her abilities.

The white gravel road was short, but she felt tired.

Song Yunxuan stopped when she walked to a frame of wisteria. She looked up at the beautiful wisteria on the wooden frame and asked Lu Feng, “Mr. Lu, how did you manage to build the garden so well? The flowers in the garden are all precious.”

Especially when she walked over, Song Yunxuan saw a seven-color camellia.

The camellia was obviously shipped from another place. And Song Yunxuan once saw a flower of precious species similar to that camellia. Such a tree cost more than one million yuan.

Hearing Song Yunxuan’s question, Lu Feng said, “I’m lame, and I can’t often move around. I don’t have any hobbies, so I just view flowers and plants.”

Song Yunxuan smiled and turned to look at Lu Feng, “Mr. Lu, you cannot move around, but nothing in Yuncheng can be hidden from you.”

Hearing Song Yunxuan’s words, Lu Feng smiled.

It was right. He was a cripple, but he knew everything in Yuncheng.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have held this banquet to disrupt their competition when Song Yunxuan and Shao Tianze were fighting fiercely in secret.

Song Yunxuan stopped and looked at Lu Feng, saying, “Mr. Lu, after you returned to Yuncheng, you did everything with good reasons. Well, is there a very important reason for holding this banquet today?”

“I only want to meet the local business tycoons in Yuncheng.”

“Why? Mr. Lu, you are a native of Yuncheng, aren’t you?”

Song Yunxuan asked Lu Feng.

Lu Feng laughed and stared at Song Yunxuan with his deep and dark eyes, “Yuncheng has been developing too fast. I used to be a native of Yuncheng, but I left Yuncheng ten years ago. I’m back now, but I found that many things in Yuncheng are unfamiliar and unclear to me.”

Song Yunxuan said, “For example?”

“Gu Changge…”

Lu Feng said the name, causing Song Yunxuan to ponder slightly.

She didn’t remember any contact between Gu Changge and Lu Feng. They were about the same age. However, at that time, Lu Feng’s family was too low. In the business world, the Lu Family had nothing to attract the Gu Family’s attention. They were a small family that had no contact with the Gu Family at all.

After seeing Song Yunxuan meditating and not speaking, Lu Feng smiled and said, “I just heard of what Gu Changge did.”

“What Gu Changge did” mentioned by Lu Feng was much.

For example, Song Yunxuan relentlessly forced the acquisition of the Lu Family back then and carved up the Lu Family with the Chu Family little by little.

Needless to say, some of the methods were upright, and some were nasty.

In the past, Lu Feng might not know. But now, he was back and definitely had found out how the Lu Family was divided up then.
