Unveil Her Secret Identities-Chapter 522 Elegant Lu Zhizhou_1

Gu Xiang seemed quite lively at the table, but Lu Mohai’s gaze stayed focused solely on Lu Qingyi as he poured his own tea.

His own daughter was right in front of him, yet he frustratingly couldn’t say anything.

Even though Qingyi had acknowledged him as her father, she had no plans for reverting to the family roots or accepting any inheritance from him till now.

Lu Mohai was troubled and longed to publicly announce that Lu Qingyi was indeed his biological daughter, but he feared that she would be upset if he did it without her consent.

Qingyi resembled Ruan Qingyang so much that it was uncanny.

"Sorry everyone, I seem to have kept you waiting."

The door to the private room was suddenly opened. Lu Zhizhou was slightly out of breath, yet her apologetic and graceful tone made her seem immensely amiable.

"No worries, Miss Lu as pretty and gentle as ever."

"Zhizhou is becoming more and more beautiful."

"Do you have a boyfriend yet?"

"What are your plans for development after returning to the country?"

"You’ve found your lost item, right?"

"Zhizhou, my son is a bit of a disappointment. Maybe he can learn something from you."

"..." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Upon Zhizhou’s entry, the room was filled with compliments directed towards her.

The star of the day was Lu Zhizhou.

She had always received heaps of praise within this circle and essentially grew up under the watchful eyes of these adults, earning the title as everyone’s model child.

"Now that Zhizhou is here, the dishes can be served."

Lu Mohai said, as the meal had been delayed while Woaiting on Zhizhou.

Lu Qingyi looked up, her eyes meeting Zhizhou’s beaming face, causing her to freeze for a moment.

The woman she had accidentally bumped into earlier, the woman who had left such a pleasant impression on her—she hadn’t realized that the woman was indeed Lu Zhizhou.

Just as the rumours had reported, she seemed exceptionally gentle and was a particularly effective conversationalist.

"My sincerest apologies to all the uncles, aunts, for keeping you waiting."

Lu Zhizhou closed the door behind her, her remorseful words laced with genuine guilt.

She was exceedingly polite when speaking to her elders, her impeccable demeanor lacked any room for criticism.

Perhaps, a person like her was indeed a well-bred daughter from a respectable family.

"And sorry to all the young masters and missies as well."

She then moved on to greet those of her own generation.

She was thorough with her greetings, touching upon all present.

She seemed to handle all aspects of interpersonal relationships particularly well.

"No worries, you found your item, right?"

"As long as nothing was lost, it’s all good."

"Such a small matter, there’s no need for you to apologize."

"..."

Once again, everyone began expressing their thoughts, assuring her that they did not consider it a big deal, and there was no need for her to apologize.

"Zhizhou, come here."

At another table, Lu Mohai and Lu Mojing had left a seat vacant between them and Mojing was beckoning his daughter to come over.

"Dad, Uncle."

Lu Zhizhou gave them a soft smile and took her seat. Her every move exuded an air of grace and sophistication, reminiscent of a scholarly family.

"Pour your uncle a cup of tea."

As soon as Zhizhou had settled down, Lu Mojing nudged her arm, prompting her to pour tea for Lu Mohai. For Zhizhou to secure the Lu family’s riches, Mojing believed she had to win over Mohai.

Mojing had been pushing Zhizhou to excel since she was a child, urging her to put on her best behaviour in front of Mohai.

Luckily, Zhizhou had always been obedient and clever which allowed her to win over Mohai quite effortlessly.

"Uncle, let me refill your tea."

Zhizhou’s lips curled up into a sweet smile and she poured more tea for Mohai in an elegant manner. Her gracefulness was indicative of a refined tea connoisseur; an appealing trait.

"Zhizhou, what are your plans upon returning?"

Lu Mohai asked, looking into his tea cup.

He was well aware of Mojing’s intentions and had an inkling that Zhizhou had her heart set elsewhere and wasn’t interested in the family properties.

"I... I’ll just see how it goes."

Zhizhou put on a slight smile, paused a bit, before she spoke which gave off a feeling of holding something back. She seemed to have plans but couldn’t bring herself to say them out loud. It was quite a helpless situation.

"Zhizhou, our family business is extensive—why not let your uncle assign you a position in the company? This way you can help run the business."

Lu Mojing spoke up at a relaxed pace, suggesting a plan for Mohai that seemed quite thoughtful and resonating.

"If that’s acceptable, then I’ll follow uncle’s advice."

Zhizhou held her chopsticks and paused for a moment before answering in a low voice.

She looked at Mohai, her smile particularly gentle, yet it also hinted at a trace of reluctant acceptance.

Mojing nodded approvingly, highly pleased with Zhizhou’s response.

Only by securing a position within the company, could she grasp the core of Lu family and potentially take over its control.

"We’ll arrange it for you when the time comes."

Mohai subtly curled his lips and spoke in a gentle tone.

The Lu family might just be generally gentle in nature — Lu Mohai, Lu Zhizhou, and even Mojing—to a certain extent.

"Okay, thank you, Uncle."

Zhizhou politely thanked him and then slightly lowered her head.

"What did you leave behind? Show me, it seems so important."

Mojing looked at Lu Zhizhou and asked. He was quite frustrated that just when everyone was about to gather, Zhizhou claimed to have left something behind and had rushed to fetch it. However, considering everyone present; he chose not to criticize her.

"Nothing much, just some lady’s stuff."

Zhizhou shook her head, dismissing his concern.

Upon hearing this, Mojing had nothing else to say.

"Go greet Xu Boyan."

Mojing glanced at the table next to them and spoke in a gentle tone.

Maintaining good relations with Xu Boyan was critical, and he hoped his daughter could grasp this opportunity well.

"Dad... "

Zhizhou looked up and found herself making eye contact with Qingyi. She hesitated for a moment, swallowing the words that were about to escape her mouth.

"Go quickly."

Mojing urged her.

Mohai glanced at Mojing, fully aware of his intentions.

Hadn’t he heard the previous conversation?

Boyan was already married.

Why was he asking his daughter to approach Boyan now? What was he trying to imply?

Zhizhou lightly bit her lower lip and then rose from her seat, walking over to Boyan’s side. "Long time no see, Mrs. Xu."

Zhizhou greeted Gu Xiang before approaching Boyan.

"Boyan, long time no see."

Afterwards, she greeted Boyan. This pattern of her greeting, from the elders to the younger ones, showcased good upbringing in Zhizhou.
