When Yang Na was under pressure at work, she would also play games to relieve the pressure. When she heard Lu Zhen’s suggestion, she arranged to play games with Lu Zhen tomorrow.
After Lu Zhen hung up, she leaned against the sofa and felt hungry. She recalled the taste of the iced cheese made by the Jiang family’s chef. The more she thought about it, the hungrier she became. After thinking for a few seconds, she decided to go to the kitchen to take a look.
There were guests at home today, and the iced cheese was a delicacy that the Jiang family brought to the dining table for almost every meal. There should be finished products in the kitchen. Lu Zhen was prepared to see what other delicious food there was.
Due to work, Lu Zhen usually paid attention to her figure management. However, during the new year, it was fine to be a little impudent.
With that thought in mind, she put on her coat and pushed the door open. She passed through the cloisters, past two yards and a garden, and soon reached the kitchen. The servants in the kitchen were busy. When they saw Lu Zhen, they immediately called out respectfully, “Miss.”
Lu Zhen smiled and asked, “Is there any frozen cheese? I want to take some.”
The servant quickly nodded. “Yes, yes.”
Lu Zhen entered the kitchen, and the busy servants made way. The Jiang family’s chef took out a piece of iced cheese from the pot and placed it in a white porcelain bowl. Then, he placed the porcelain bowl on the tray.
She took some small desserts that she had never eaten before. A servant followed behind Lu Zhen with a tray and the two of them prepared to go back. On the way back, when they passed by the front yard, Lu Zhen vaguely heard
Jiang Kai’s voice not far away. “Uncle Lin, Happy New Year. Aunt Zhu, Lin Sui, Happy New Year! ”
Then, the voices of a few others sounded.
“Xiao Kai already looks like an adult. I reckon that in two years, Jiang Hai will have to retire behind the scenes.” The man’s tone was casual, but his voice naturally exuded a pressure that made people nervous.
“In the future, you have to let our Xiao Sui learn more from you. Xiao Sui, greet your Brother Jiang Kai.” The charming female voice was very pleasant to the ears, like a feather brushing past one’s heart.
“Brother Jiang Kai, Happy New Year.” The lazy voice sounded nonchalant. “You’re not serious!” the man scolded, but his tone was not very stern.
Lu Zhen had originally planned to leave quickly. She couldn’t meet outsiders. It would be troublesome if someone saw her. However, she suddenly felt that the lazy voice was a little familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.
Lu Zhen hesitated for a moment and said to the servant beside her, “Stand in front of me and help me block it.” Then, she stood behind the servant. The two of them slowly moved to where they could see the scene in the front yard.
Lu Zhen took a quick glance and saw the faces of the guests. Standing in front of Jiang Kai was a couple. The man looked to be in his forties. His face was cold, and his eyes were so deep that they seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog. No one could see through him, nor did they dare to look straight at him.
The woman looked very young, making it difficult to determine her true age. Every move she made was filled with charm. She had a pair of extremely charming fox eyes and was extremely beautiful.
The young man standing behind the couple was tall and handsome.
The moment Lu Zhen saw the young man, her body stiffened.
It was him!
Jiang Kai welcomed Lin Xin, his wife, and Lin Sui through the door. Lin Sui vaguely sensed that someone was watching him. He looked around and saw a figure flash not far away, but he did not see the other party’s face clearly.
When Lu Zhen returned to the courtyard with the servants, she couldn’t help but ask, “Who are those guests?”
The servant had been in the Jiang family for many years and had some understanding of the forces that were on friendly terms with the Jiang family, so she explained, “It’s Lin Xin and his wife, Zhu Ci. That young master’s name is Lin Sui.”
Then, she introduced the Lin family in detail.
The Lin family was originally one of the top families in Beijing. After Lin Xin married the daughter of a real estate tycoon in Newport, the two families joined forces and the Lin family quickly entered the Newport market. In just a
few years, they had established themselves in Newport.
However, Mrs Lin from Newport passed away in a few years, leaving behind only a child. A year later, Lin Xin married Zhu Ci.
Lu Zhen subconsciously sensed that something was wrong.
“What about the eldest young master of the Lin family? M/hy isn’t he here today?”
The servant was silent for a moment before saying, “Eldest Young Master
Lin’s legs are inconvenient and he rarely goes out.”
Seeing that Lu Zhen was listening seriously, the servant couldn’t help but mention, “Moreover, the Lin family probably doesn’t think much of that
Eldest Young Master anymore, so the person who usually goes out with Mr. Lin to socialize is that Second Young Master..”
