The alpha on the opposite side was obviously taken aback, as if he didn’t expect to meet Lu Yunye here, but he quickly put on a teasing expression. “Brother?”1not real brothers. It’s like calling an older cousin or close male relative brother
“Don’t you avoid these kinds of social banquets?”
Lu Jingyan seemed to know that his pheromones were inferior to Lu Yunye’s, so he took the sandalwood fragrance back calmly. But Lu Yunye didn’t stop there – blizzard-like pheromones pressed forward, driving him a few meters away.
Lu Jingyan’s expression was unavoidably a bit ugly, and his phoenix eyes finally stopped smiling. “Brother, is it worth it? I’m just hitting on an omega.”
His eyes turned back and forth on the two of them, and after a while, he suddenly realized something, and his tone became playful again, “Is this my brother-in-law2literal translation is sister-in-law, but since Shi Yi is male, I changed it to brother-in-law. Same to any future references, of which there are many?”
Shi Yi finally realized that this Lu Jingyan might be related to Lu Yunye, but the relationship between the two didn’t look very close…
One top-level alpha is powerful protection for the family, but if there are two, it will inevitably lead to disaster due to competition.
This is the nature engraved in the bones of alphas – fighting for all kinds of resources at all costs, even if the other party is related to them by blood.
Lu Yunye’s marriage was not disclosed to the public, and only a small number of people in the circle knew about it. The expressions of those around them changed. Many had heard the rumors of the Lu family’s marriage, and have been waiting for Lu Yunye to express his thoughts on the matter.
The deadlocked atmosphere seemed to be contagious. With Lu Yunye as the center, the atmosphere became cold and silent. Finally, no one spoke in the noisy banquet hall, and the soothing light music could finally be heard
People’s eyes not only fell on Lu Yunye, but also on Shi Yi. After all, there is only one possibility in which Lu Yunye does not want to disclose his marriage – that is, his omega can’t be shown to the public.
No matter how amazing this person was on the stage just now, he is just a pretty model. Most of these beautiful vases without background power will be reduced to playthings, and are not qualified to participate in such scenes.
Shi Yi also held his breath subconsciously. Only he and Lu Yunye knew about the marriage contract. Lu Yunye didn’t want to make it public because they both wanted to keep the path to retreat open. He had no idea how Lu Yunye would handle this situation.
Just as he was thinking wildly, a thick palm suddenly rested on his waist, and then his whole body was pulled into Lu Yunye’s arms.
The alpha gradually put away his remaining prestige, but his face was still not very good-looking. He held Shi Yi with one hand, and said word by word, “This is my omega.”
For a while, everyone was in an uproar. The celebration banquet was live broadcast, and the media sharks had already turned their cameras to the trio in the center of attention. The internet boiled, and the closing banquet quickly turned into a press conference. Within half an hour, share prices for the Lu Group will also be affected.
Lu Jingyan raised his hands to show that he was very sensible, but the tense atmosphere did not subside at all.
He pretended to be surprised, “You didn’t mark brother-in-law?”
“He doesn’t have your mark on him. It stands to reason that we all have the right to compete on equal footing.”
Lu Jingyan gritted his teeth secretly. He and Lu Yunye have similar backgrounds, but because his pheromone level was just a little lower, he wasn’t treated as the heir, and had to give up the shares in his hands.
Lu Yunye hasn’t got the Lu Group in his hands yet, so why is he always so lucky?
Lu Yunye tilted his chin up slightly, his eyes narrowed, “You can try.”
After finishing speaking, he turned and left.
The crowd subconsciously dispersed to both sides, like Moses dividing the sea, making away for the pair. The hostility on Lu Yunye’s body had not completely dissipated, making people afraid to look at him.
Trapped in Lu Yunye’s embrace, Shi Yi walked a few steps quickly to show that he could walk by himself. Lu Yunye gave him a gloomy look, but put down his arms around his waist.
The elevator descended rapidly. In the parking lot, Gao Ren and Zhang Cheng were playing games, not expecting the two of them to come down so soon.
Gao Ren keenly sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and silently opened the door for them.
Zhang Cheng was still greeting happily, “Mr. Lu, Mr. Shi, today is over so soon.”
He opened the door of Shi Yi’s silver car. Lu Yunye turned his head and stared at it, and then said to Shi Yi, “Come to my car.”
Shi Yi sighed helplessly. Anyway, the back seat of Lu Yunye’s car is spacious, so it doesn’t matter.
Zhang Cheng who was holding the car door: OvO?
Lu Yunye didn’t say a word along the way. Shi Yi looked out the window, and the surrounding scenery receded rapidly, gradually becoming familiar.
Until he was about to get home, Lu Yunye suddenly said, “That was my cousin.”
“En,” Shi Yi responded.
“His grandfather belongs to the same line as my grandfather, but his family has been developing in the south and only came back recently.”
These were the same years that Lu Feng slowly abdicated and Lu Yunye consolidated his power. Handover periods are the least stable periods, so the purpose of Lu Jingyan’s family returning is clear – to separate the Lu Group’s industry in the south so they’re no longer controlled by the parent company.
Their grandfathers went to sea in the 1970s, and were blessed back then. From reselling antiques to buying and selling land, they made a lot of money. They then went to Hong Kong across the sea, and started a venture capital investment with the assets they accumulated, gradually occupying a place in the capital industry.
Later, halfway through his career, Lu Jingyan’s grandfather refocused and got married, only keeping some shares in his hand. Lu Yunye’s grandfather decided to return north, and rooted the group’s center in the birthplace of the Lu family.
“Lu Jingyan has a perverse personality, and his pheromone level is top A. Please contact me as soon as possible if he appears.” Lu Yunye said.
Shi Yi nodded, and listened to him continue, “Today’s matter will quickly ferment. I will have the secretaries deal with it. You should stay in the office for the past few days and not run around.”
Lu Yunye paused, then added, “I will pick you up.”
Although Feiyi is a design company, many of its businesses are related to the entertainment industry, so Shi Yi understands the effect of public opinion.
As soon as he got home, he received a call from Qiu Qiu, “Boss, are you finished with the show?”
Hearing Shi Yi hum in agreement, he said eagerly, “The live broadcast of Sika’s celebration banquet was broadcast live, and our PR team is preparing a response. You should read the internet, boss.”
Shi Yi hung up the phone, opened Weibo, and the first searched item was of him wearing Luoshen’s outfit on the stage. In just a few hours, the video was edited and spawned countless versions, with many beauty bloggers giving makeup tutorials to imitate his style.
But under this hot search, there are one after another explosive news:
#LuYunye’sLoveAffair#
#LuYunyeModel#
#Baoyang#3baoyang = spending resource to raise a little model or idol, as is often referred to in Chinese LNs
#AreGlandularDefectsCurable#
The headlines were too numerous to suppress.
