Shen Qian and Tan Yao exchanged a glance. Shen Qian picked up his chopsticks and started eating, while Tan Yao hesitated for a moment. Seeing the other two had already begun eating, did he really want to just sit there?

He gritted his teeth and decided to eat as well.

Midway through the meal, Lushen was considerate and asked, “Would you like some wine?”

Shen Qian politely declined.

Naturally, Tan Yao didn’t drink either, and of course, Lushen didn’t ask him.

What kind of wine could a dog drink?

After two bowls of rice, Lushen felt full and suddenly became excited. “I haven’t asked why Young Master Shen, who usually stays in Ning City, came all the way to Jingping?”

Tan Yao’s gaze darkened, and he tightened his grip on his chopsticks.

Shen Qian wiped his mouth with a napkin, then his hands, and finally discarded the napkin with graceful and dignified movements.

Although he knew that Lushen was deliberately touching his sore spot, he didn’t get angry. He responded calmly, “I came to discuss some business.” “Oh?” Lushen raised an eyebrow and grinned maliciously, showing his teeth, “Did you make a deal?”

“No.”

“Well, that’s a pity…” Lushen spread his hands, coupled with a smirk that was far from regretful. It was more like gloating!

“Lushen, don’t go too far!” Tan Yao couldn’t bear it anymore and slammed the table, standing up.

The smile on Lushen’s face vanished instantly as he gave Tan Yao a chilling look. “Who do you think you are? I’m talking to someone with the surname Shen. What right does a dog like you have to speak?”

This was the true nature of the young dandies in Jingping—capricious, arrogant, and domineering!

If I want to scold you, I’ll scold you. Do I need to choose the right moment?

Tan Yao retorted, “Rubbing salt in the wound! You’ve gone too far!”

“Wound?” This description seemed to please Lushen, and his icy expression gradually turned into a smile. “It seems that the Haihai Development Project has hit your master quite hard, huh?”

“Shut up…”

“Ah Yao, please leave.” Shen Qian spoke calmly.

“President Shen!”

Although his demeanor remained gentle, Shen Qian was also very firm, “Leave.”

Tan Yao lowered his head and bowed, then left.

Lushen leisurely took a sip of tea and grinned, “Even disobedient dogs need to be properly trained. It’s to prevent them from biting randomly.”

“You should identify the dog’s owner before disciplining it,” Shen Qian said coolly. “Seventh Lord, you seem to be a bit lacking in self-awareness.”

Lushen’s gaze suddenly darkened. “Are you warning me? Don’t forget whose territory this is. If you don’t understand that, it seems you’re getting bored of living.”

Shen Qian showed no fear of his threat. “I know you invited me here just to enjoy a good laugh, but unfortunately, Seventh Lord will be disappointed.” “Tsk, not necessarily. I heard that before this, you were always confident that the Haihai Development Project was a sure thing for Tian Shui. Now that it’s gone sour, I wonder how Young Master Shen feels about it?”

“Heard?” Shen Qian raised an eyebrow. “Heard from whom?”

Just as Lushen was about to respond, Shen Qian added, “Shen Wan, perhaps?”

This time, Lushen froze.

At that moment, Shen Qian’s suspicion was confirmed!

His heart ached fiercely.

Why did it have to be you?

Lushen cleared his throat, concealing his emotions, and decided not to reveal Shen Wan’s involvement for now. “Young Master Shen, you’re quite the joker. What does your sister have to do with me?”

“It would be best if she doesn’t.”

Shen Qian’s eyes grew dark, with a hint of gloom. Shen Wan, you’re truly remarkable to have Lushen covering for you.

“Sneeze…” Shen Wan, who was far away in Ning City, rubbed her nose.

“I’ve had my meal, and I’ve been your guest. If Seventh Lord doesn’t have any other matters, I’ll take my leave.”

“Why the rush? Don’t tell me you’re going to run out of here and find a secluded corner to cry in?”

Shen Qian’s eyes remained indifferent, and he chose not to respond to Lushen’s provocations, which only added to the irritation..
