Gao Huan had that playful smile on his lips. He was clearly enjoying toying Lu Yin Ze's emotion. Though, all of he said was true.
"Why are you even surprised, I became close friends with your brother, it's only normal to meet your father. There's nothing strange about it."
Lu Yin Ze: It was definitely strange!
His father was a man who rarely saw others personally and liked to let others do things for him. He was the type who would step forward only when meeting someone of great importance to achieve his goals.
He was not the kind of father who would gladly entertain his son's friends. So how come this person, a Guan who should have zero relationship with his father, was able to meet the demon?
Lu Yin Ze's mind was thrown into chaos.
Perhaps, Guan Gao Huan getting the poison might not be because of his connection to Lu Jin.
It could possibly be because of his connection to his father.
But how? What was their relationship?
That demon would not be so generous, unless it was useful to him...
The silvery streaks in Lu Yin Ze's deep blue eyes darkened as he stared somberly at Guan Gao Huan's smiling face.
…What did his father needed Guan Gao Huan for?
Guan Gao Huan leaned back on the chair nonchalantly.
He appreciated the confused and discomfited look of Lu Yin Ze while immersed in thoughts.
He was confident that even if he threw a meatless bone at Lu YinZe, the cowardly man would not be able to do anything with it.
The Lu family was bound to be destroyed. Lu Yin Ze, this weak little chicken, could not change that.
After a while of enjoying himself, Guan Gao Huan finally stood up.
"Anyway, since you already got an answer from me, I should go. I still have a little rabbit to catch."
Lu Yin Ze recovered from his thoughts. He immediately stood up and blocked the man's way.
"We are not yet done. I want to know, how did you meet my father?"
Guan Gao Huan raised a brow.
"I told you, I met him because of your brother. If you miss him, you can just ask your brother—"
"That's bullshit, I don't believe it. That man will not just meet anyone causally, even if you are my brother's best friend. He can't even properly take care of his own son, so why would he meet you? You are bluffing."
Although Lu Yin Ze felt confused, he still remembered the reason why he stayed with the man.
He had to help Xiong Zhi ward off this person.
Besides, he wanted to know the answer.
Guan Gao Huan chuckled.
The little white pup in front of him looked cute, baring his cute little fangs.
If Lu Jin was at least one bit cute like his little brother, Lu Jin would definitely be able to charm many ladies.
"I say, little brother, you are asking the wrong person. Ask your brother. Just meet him, he is already in the country. Or you can just directly go to your father. He's in the country too." He casually threw a bomb.
As he expected, Lu Yin Ze's eyes became dazed.
…His father… in the country?
How come both of them who were expelled by his grandfather from the family to another country, suddenly back in the country, one after another? There must be something.
He could still ignore it when his brother came back here, but now that both of them returned, things were definitely not simple.
What were they planning this time?
For some reason, an image of two men with masks appeared in his mind, the pair whom he saw back then in IAmFashionista, more than three years ago.
The silhouettes had eerily reminded him so much of his brother and father, but he unfortunately could not verify if those men were them.
Was it possible that those people were really his brother and father? Did they return here three years ago? And now, they came back again?
This was no coincidence.
Given their kind of cunning and purposive actions, they definitely were brewing something.
Just what were they planning!?
Lu Yin Ze was clearly in the dark and it frightened him.
'That's a good expression.' Guan Gao Huan smiled in satisfaction.
He walked past and grabbed the doorknob. Before pushing the door open, he remembered something.
He turned back to Lu Yin Ze who was still frozen stiff.
"By the way, as your friend's brother, I advise you to stop interfering with me and the Xiong heiress. She's arranged to be my fiancée. You can't stop that, nor can anyone else." He then chuckled, "Besides, you have a lot on your plate to worry about. Don't put your nose into other's business."
He pushed the door and stepped out.
Then he stopped.
A few steps away, a tall man in black was standing in front of him, holding the door in place with one hand.
The man's dark eyes were freezing.
"I advise you to take your words back," Linfeng said icily.
Guan Gao Huan's hand on the knob tightened.
He was surprised to find a dog waiting behind the door. He composed himself and laughed.
"The protagonist of tonight's dinner party is here, where's my manners?"
He bowed like an ancient gentleman.
"What an honor, to think you came running to grace us with your presence. Do you have business with me?"
Flames of anger simmered in Linfeng's heart.
He heard clearly what this man had said about Xiong Zhi. Dreaming on making my girlfriend your fiancé? Ha! Over my dead body.
As expected, just like what happened in Xiong Zhi's lifelike dreams, this man really had evil machinations set on her.
In other words, those sufferings she experienced in that parallel-like 'world' in her dreams…
The fury in his heart rose, but his face remained expressionlessly cold.
"Take your words back. Even if it's a lie, it's not something you can casually say."
Guan Gao Huan was irked by Linfeng's tone.
