Chapter 60: Chen Bansheng's Unsettling Encounter:
The young man with spiked hair was both youthful and handsome. He wore casual white clothes that added a touch of heroism to his appearance. His name was Wei Ziling, the son of Wei Chengyuan, a wealthy man in the city.
As for Qingyue, her story was even more impressive.
Qing Yue, whose real name was Su Qingyue, was the daughter of Su Zhengyang, the richest man in Rong city.
At 24 years old, she had just returned from studying abroad. With perfect body proportions and a face that could captivate the world, she was stunning. If the perfect score for beauty were 100 points, Bai Qingzhi would score 96, and Qin Sisi would score 97.
In Lu Yu's eyes, anyone scoring 70 or above was already considered attractive.
An 80-point score represented true beauty, comparable to that of a celebrity with makeup. A 90-point score indicated exceptional beauty, surpassing celebrities even without makeup.
So, a 96 or 97-point score spoke for itself.
However, Su Qingyue would score 98 points. Though her height of 165 cm was the same as Bai Qingzhi’s, her body proportions were even more flawless.
Of course, the difference in their physical appearances might not be as significant as one might think. However, when it came to temperament, Su Qingyue, the daughter of the wealthiest man, was far superior to Bai Qingzhi.
One might wonder why the children of rich people were often handsome and beautiful. The answer was simple: wealthy individuals have the advantage of choosing attractive partners. If a rich man married a beautiful wife, their children were likely to inherit good looks. After two or three generations of favorable genetics, it becomes almost inevitable that their offspring will be attractive.
Wei Ziling's words made Su Qingyue frown slightly, but she remained silent.
However, Li Xiaorou spoke up: "Wei Ziling, have you no shame? When did Sister Qingyue become your fiancée?"
"You don’t know this? Our families are close friends!" Wei Ziling began, his tone excited. "When we were kids, Qingyue and I grew up together..." He rambled on about how they played in the mud as children and joked about getting married when they grew up.
The group was stunned. "So, it was just a childhood joke?" someone shook their head.
"Really, Wei Ziling? You’re talking about childhood stuff?" Another added, disdainfully.
Everyone around them showed their contempt.
"You…" Wei Ziling stammered, hurriedly trying to explain himself.
But Su Qingyue didn’t join the conversation.
Instead, she glanced at Lu Yu, who had just entered the room, holding a glass of champagne.
She seemed lost in thought.
Meanwhile, Lu Yu was unaware that the rich second generation was discussing him.
After entering the villa, he casually scanned the room before bringing Qin Sisi over to greet Lu Mingyuan and his wife.
"Hello, Uncle, Aunt." Lu Yu greeted them politely.
Xiao Yanmei, who had also come today, wore a white, blue, and porcelain cheongsam, her wavy, curly hair framing her face.
Despite being in her forties and showing some wrinkles, her status and careful maintenance gave her a refined appearance.
Lu Yu had seen her a few times recently, so this meeting was nothing special.
"Sisi, come here, dear!" Xiao Yanmei smiled and gestured Qin Sisi over.
Although she hadn’t met Qin Sisi many times, Lu Yu and Qin Sisi had grown close recently.
As a result, the older couple had grown fond of Qin Sisi.
In fact, they thought she was a better fit to be their daughter-in-law than Bai Qingzhi, both in terms of status and character.
The relationship between the potential "mother-in-law" and Qin Sisi was therefore quite good.
While Xiao Yanmei chatted with Qin Sisi, Lu Yu spoke with Li Guohua.
After checking on Li Guohua’s condition, Lu Yu thanked him again for the five-star hotel recommendation, which had been invaluable to him.
Although Li Guohua had some reservations, he was grateful that Lu Yu had cured him and recognized the potential Lu Yu possessed. As a result, their conversation was pleasant.
After a bit of small talk, Lu Yu and Qin Sisi greeted her parents.
The Qin family couple had some concerns about Lu Yu, given their knowledge of their daughter’s situation.
They didn’t particularly like Lu Yu, but their daughter was stubborn, and they felt they had no choice but to accept the situation.
Time passed quickly, and after going through the necessary formalities, 10 minutes had already slipped by.
Lu Yu glanced around the villa’s lobby and frowned.
"Why hasn’t Chen Bansheng come in yet?" He wondered.
Although they had driven in, Chen Bansheng and Bai Qingzhi had walked.
It had been 10 minutes since they entered, so Chen Bansheng should have made it inside by now.
"Is this guy chickening out?" Lu Yu mused.
Although he was a Feng Shui master, Chen Bansheng wasn’t weak. It was normal for him to sense something was wrong if Lu Yu planned to confront him.
"I hope this guy doesn’t back out." Lu Yu thought.
And he wasn’t wrong!
Chen Bansheng had indeed sensed something.
At this moment, Chen Bansheng stood outside the villa, staring at the luxury cars parked in front. He hesitated to move, cold sweat forming on his forehead.
He thought anxiously: "The red backdrop at the gate and the arrangement of the vehicles—it’s like a tiger with its jaws open. Wouldn’t entering be like a lamb walking into the tiger’s mouth? This must be… a disaster waiting to happen."
