628: Bad Attitude

Bad Attitude

Jiang Yao thought it was a missed opportunity to introduce Moe to Lu Xingzhi. After all, he was not aware of the existence of Jiang Yao's pet.0

Even though she could not tell him about Moe's hidden talents, at least he knew that there was someone protecting her. 

Too bad Moe had returned to Nanjiang City yesterday.

Huang Chengjing was there at Changkang Group's relief site when Jiang Yao arrived. Between him and Lu Yuqing stood Lu Xingzhi.

"Darling!" Lu Xingzhi finally shifted his treacherous gaze away from Huang Chengjing after seeing Jiang Yao. 

Jiang Yao was immediately reminded of the towel fiasco this morning and ignored him. Instead, she took a sidestep and approached Huang Chengjing. "Mr. Huang, how are things over at Hairun Group? You seem quite free to be here."

"Oh, not really. I came to say hi to Yuqing," Huang Chengjing explained with a smile on his face.

Jiang Yao raised her eyebrows and thought to herself just how fast his progression was. He was still addressing Lu Yuqing by her full name the last time they met. Now, they were already on first-name terms?

Lu Xingzhi did not look too happy at all. Not expecting himself to be snubbed by Jiang Yao, he was, quite frankly, dumbfounded. What did he do wrong this time?

His expression darkened after seeing both Jiang Yao and Huang Chengjing in a chummy conversation. Huang Chengjing! He did not like that man at all!

"Darling!" Lu Xingzhi walked toward her and grabbed her arm. "Are you tired?"

That was probably the reason why Jiang Yao ignored him. She was exhausted and not in the best of mood.

"Not at all." Jiang Yao saw Lu Xingzhi's puzzled expression and asked, "Are you done with your stuff?"

"I was assigned here," replied Lu Xingzhi.

Even though Jiang Yao responded and seemed to be concerned about him, Lu Xingzhi thought something was off with Jiang Yao. Not able to get to the bottom of things, he was very anxious.

Huang Chengjing understood that there was no chance for any further interaction with Lu Yuqing now that Lu Xingzhi was here as well. After exchanging some pleasantries with Jiang Yao, he left.

"Keep him away, I don't like him." From his observation, Lu Xingzhi was very sure that Huang Chengjing was vying for Lu Yuqing from the way he looked at her.

It was exactly how Lu Xingzhi looked at Jiang Yao before he married her.

On the outside, he seemed to not regard his older sister well, but he would always have her back.

In his opinion, Huang Chengjing could never be with his sister. After all, he was married and had a child. To Lu Xingzhi, his sister ranked right after Jiang Yao in terms of the women in his life.

He would not oppose it if Lu Yuqing decided to marry again. But, the person had to be scrutinized by Lu Xingzhi beforehand.

He always thought he was better at picking people, just like how he chose a perfect wife, while his sister got together with a jerk of an ex-husband.
