Chapter 607: Picking Up On Cues
"You're insane! Didn't you meet the kid a few months ago?!" From how they talked, Lu Chen and Huang Muyang were friends at best! And the kid was a grandson-in-law?!
And Bai Geming wasn't alone. Lu Chen was the same! Lu Chen was confused as to why Huang Muyang said something so stupid! I need to stop this. All Lu Chen needed to do was to say it was false. But Huang Muyang grabbed his shoulders!
"Of course! I met with little Lu not too long ago, but I felt it was fate for me to meet him! That's why I handed the pendant to him! He's going to be the perfect grandson-in-law!"
Huh?! What kind of nonsense are you spouting?! Fate, my ass! You lost the pendant over a game of chess!
Huang Muyang gave Lu Chen a glare; Shut it, brat! There was only one thought in his mind; never let Bai Geming know what happened!
He would be damned to let this bastard know about this! He could figure out what would ensue if he did.
"Have you heard?! Old Huang lost his precious heirloom in a game of chess!" He could see it now!
He would rather die than let him do that! And there was no way this was going to happen. Right now, he needed to shut the kid's mouth up! He gave him a smiling look.
But Lu Chen could tell what he meant; Agree or die! Lu Chen sighed,
"...Yeah." You know your granddaughter is staring at us, right? Lu Chen glanced at Huang Mingyue. The expression she gave was one of embarrassment.
What are the two of you saying?! Huang Mingyue had the same thought as Lu Chen from before! Do they even know what they're implying?
Me and him being engaged? Huang Mingyue stared at Lu Chen. In terms of looks, he was great. But there was no way they could get engaged like that!
...
It took a few minutes before the four left Lu Chen's office. Outside,
"So give it to me straight; how did you lose the pendant?" Bai Geming asked. He knew that grandson-in-law thing was a sham. The expression Lu Chen had on his face was saying something else.
"You don't need to know." Huang Muyang was never going to tell him,
"You know, you saying that just makes me realize it's embarrassing." From how much he denied it, Lu Chen had to do something indescribable to Huang Muyang.
"You shouldn't be worrying about this! You should be more worried about what the kid will do to you!" Huang Muyang snorted.
"..."
"If those brats pissed little Lu further, he might have gone for the kill."
"!" Huang Mingyue and Bai Xiaoqing's expressions turned weird, "What do you mean?"
"You guys should learn to pick up on cues." Bai Geming sighed.
"They're young." Huang Muyang sighed as he explained, "Here's a simple one; think about the videos he let us see."
"Which one?"
"Both. Think about it for a few seconds. For the first one, there were two people in the video. One was the little lady of the Lu family.
"Mmhmm."
"And there was another one too." Besides Zhang Wenling, there was another person there.
"And didn't you notice that secretary on the sidelines? Aren't they a little too similar?"
"She was the one in the video!" Huang Mingyue answered.
"Yes. But she's also the bodyguard." That was the main thing.
"She had slight killing intent when I talked to the kid." Bai Geming added. He caught it. It was subtle, but it was enough for him to notice.
The secretary showed killing intent. That shouldn't be coming from a secretary. That came from a fighter.
