Chapter 55 -55 He’s Making a Fuss, He’s Really Making a Fuss

Approaching noon, the school dismissal bell finally rang.

Miss Lu Sheng picked up her backpack and headed out of the school, oblivious to the numerous curious glances along the way.

Mr. Li Muchen had said he would be waiting for her under the big tree outside the west gate.

Once Miss Lu Sheng exited the school gates, she lifted her eyes and saw a familiar black sedan stopped there, with a man standing in front of the car.

The man was tall, looking to be around 187 centimeters.

The dark suit outlined his broad shoulders and lean waist, with the top two buttons of his dark grey shirt undone. His long legs were wrapped in well-tailored trousers, exuding an air of abstinence.

Just by looking at him, the man’s presence was potent, and his demeanor noble and detached, as if he was naturally prideful and otherworldly compared to those around him.

His features were handsome and resolute, also projecting the profound depth typical of a medieval European nobleman. The moment his gaze landed on her, the usually cold eyes suddenly softened.

A smile began to form on his face, as if ice was melting under the blazing sun. He slowly opened his arms toward her and his lips seemed to gently shape a word.

“…Shengsheng.”

Mr. Li Muchen was standing.

A trace of surprise crossed Miss Lu Sheng’s eyes.

The acupuncture treatment had yielded better results than she had anticipated; less than a week had passed, and he was already able to stand.

Miss Lu Sheng was about to run over and throw herself into Mr. Li Muchen’s arms, but someone called out to her from behind: “Miss Lu Sheng!”

Miss Lu Sheng turned around to see Fang Hong leading Xiao Yan towards her, accompanied by two tall and handsome men.

“…Ms. Fang?” Miss Lu Sheng voiced her surprise, “I thought you had already left.”

“That’s the thing.”

Fang Hong spoke to Miss Lu Sheng, “We hadn’t finished talking earlier, and then the bell for class rang all of a sudden. So, we thought we’d wait here for you to finish school and invite you for lunch. I wonder if you’d be willing to join us?”

“You might think it’s no big deal to lend a hand, but you did save Xiao Yan’s life after all. It’s only proper we have a meal together to get acquainted. Plus, Xiao Yan didn’t want to leave; he insisted on waiting here for you.”

Miss Lu Sheng hadn’t expected that Fang Hong and Xiao Yan would actually wait outside for nearly two hours, which was the duration of two class periods, just to invite her for a meal.

Seeing that they had waited so long and observing the hopeful look in Xiao Yan’s eyes, Miss Lu Sheng couldn’t bring herself to refuse.

“…Sure, I can,” said Miss Lu Sheng, “but I have another appointment. If you don’t mind, perhaps we can all go together?”

“Of course, there’s no problem. Just bring your friend along, and I’ll foot the bill for lunch,” Fang Hong was delighted with Miss Lu Sheng’s agreement, “Oh, right. I haven’t made the introductions yet.”

“This is Lin Yi, my eldest son and Xiao Yan’s brother. And this one—well, you don’t need an introduction, do you?—your second brother is a good friend of my Lin Yi.”

“…Second brother?” Miss Lu Sheng lifted her eyes.

The man in front of her stood about 185 centimeters tall, with a fitted shirt and trousers and a meticulousness to his hairstyle and attire. His features and aura were like bright moonlight in the night sky, cool and detached.

Miss Lu Sheng faintly smelled a light scent of disinfectant from him, an oddly familiar fragrance.

“Hey, sister Shengsheng,” Lin Yi leaned in, “Yesterday afternoon, you crashed into your second brother and then passed out.”

“I personally carried you into the apartment and placed you on the sofa, you know. You couldn’t possibly have no memory of it, could you?”

—It really was him.

The man she had bumped into yesterday was actually her second brother, Lu Siyan. What a coincidence.

“Hello, brother Lin Yi, hello, second brother.”

Miss Lu Sheng looked at Lu Siyan, “I’m sorry, second brother, I didn’t remember what you looked like yesterday. I didn’t expect the person I bumped into to be you.”

“…Hmm.” Lu Siyan responded indifferently.

Lu Siyan still felt that the girl’s behavior of not even giving him a glance in the corridor earlier was too cold, even colder than how he treated others.

But now it seemed that she just hadn’t recognized him.

Not only did she not know he was her second brother, but she also didn’t realize he was the person she bumped into yesterday.

So the reason she rejected his friend request was probably just because she didn’t know who he was, right? Lu Siyan comforted himself in his mind.

A mature man must learn to console himself.

Meanwhile, Li Muchen, waiting under the tree, saw the girl being stopped and then having two men talk to her, which made him furrow his brows.

“Who are those two men?” Li Muchen asked.

Chen An glanced over: “The one in a hoodie, he’s the eldest son of Mayor Lin’s family. And the one in the shirt… It should be Lu Siyan, the lady’s second brother.”

As a qualified assistant, Chen An had memorized the appearances and basic information of the Lu family members during the initial investigation of Lu Sheng’s identity, just so he could readily answer any spontaneous questions his boss might have.

So, he was her brother.

The frown on Li Muchen’s face relaxed.

“I have a friend over there; I’ll go and ask if he wants to join us for lunch,” said Lu Sheng to Fang Hong.

Lu Sheng ran up to Li Muchen. Strictly speaking, her height wasn’t considered short, but she appeared rather petite in front of the man.

Since others were watching, Lu Sheng couldn’t engage in any intimate actions with Li Muchen, but merely explained the situation and asked if he’d like to have lunch together.

Li Muchen naturally had no objections. Keeping his longing and urge to pull her into his embrace at bay, he lifted his hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear and said in a low voice, “Sure.”

However, before his hand could touch Lu Sheng’s hair, a hasty shout suddenly came from behind: “Hey, what are you doing! Why are you touching my sister’s hair! Put your hand down!!”

As soon as Lu Siyan and the others approached, they saw Lu Youye popping out from nowhere and pulling Lu Sheng away from in front of the man.

He looked at Li Muchen with an alert face, like a hen protecting her chicks: “Who are you, and how well do you know my sister?!”

“…Youye?” Lu Siyan was taken aback.

“…Fifth Brother?” Lu Sheng was also stunned.

“…Mr. Li?” Fang Hong was outright astonished.

“…Li Muchen?!” It was only then that Lu Youye clearly saw the man’s face and was also shocked, his eyes wide.

The scene seemed to freeze for a moment.

After a few seconds, Fang Hong spoke with difficulty: “Um… Miss Shengsheng, the friend you said you arranged to meet for lunch, is it this Mr. Li?”

Anyone in Jiang City with a bit of status surely knew Li Muchen. Even if they had not met him, it was impossible not to have heard of his name.

And there were many rumors about Li Muchen: some said he held overwhelming power, able to turn the clouds and rain in Jiang City with a flip of his hand; others mentioned he was the Heavenly Slaughter Star, who orphaned himself at a young age, and those who got too close to him wouldn’t end well; there were also whispers that he was cold-hearted, with a somber and cruel character, mercurial in temperament.

This Lu Sheng, who had only recently come to Jiang City, how did she come to know someone like Li Muchen, a big shot everyone including her eldest brother didn’t dare to mess with? And they seemed quite familiar with each other too.

Moreover, wasn’t Li Muchen disabled? Wasn’t he always in a wheelchair, now why was he standing?

Li Muchen looked up and saw that although both Lu Siyan and Lu Youye were younger than him, in terms of family hierarchy, they were his potential future brothers-in-law, so he needed to make a good impression.

“Hello,” Li Muchen introduced himself proactively, “I am an admirer of Shengsheng, my name is Li Muchen.”

Admirer???

Lu Youye was very close to howling out loud.

He hadn’t even cherished his sister for a few days and suddenly an admirer emerged? And that person was an influential figure in Jiang City who even his eldest brother wouldn’t dare provoke?

How could he be robbed even while spending every day with his sister? He was going to make a scene; he really was going to make a scene!
