Chapter 370 Girls talk (1/2)
One hour before the said meeting time…
The rest of the day, Lexi was unconsciously observing Victoria Tang. Based on her late night talks with her favorite person in the world named Ethan Lu, He described Victoria Tang as a confident feisty woman.
However, the woman before her doesn't seem like it. It was more like Victoria Tang had lost all her confidence and what was left was a humble and insecure lady… Yet, a strong and loving mother of her child. Perhaps, it was due to the fact that her child was sick and cutting ties with her somewhat wealthy family made her suffer a little.
Not just that, through the years, Victoria Tang was labeled as a single mother whose child's father was unknown. Therefore, in this cruel reality, criticism was inevitable. So, it wasn't a surprise that despite Victoria Tang's beautiful face, her aura was too dark and exhausted.
”Say… do you really like Lou?” Currently, they were already back in Ethan Lu's villa and Victoria Tang was the one who was preparing their dinner. Hence, as Lexi watched her guest busy herself while preparing all the meals, she could not help but ask. After all, Vincent Tang was already napping in the guest room and there was not anyone to hear this question but them.
For a moment, Victoria Tang paused on mixing the veggies on the cooking pan before she lowered the heat to the minimum degree and then turned to face Lexi that was leaning on the kitchen counter.
”Uhm, to be honest, I don't know myself— maybe, maybe not.” Shrugging her shoulders, Victoria Tang meekly smiled as a deep, heavy exhale escaped her mouth. ”Me, Ethan, Louis, and Dylan, we are all good friends with each other. Though for me, those cousins were all weird in their own way, Lou was probably the weirdest.”
”I know right?” For a second, Lexi raised her brows as she agreed to what she just said. Although Lexi hadn't met this Dylan Lu and Ethan Lu rarely mentioned him, she already perceived that this Dylan Lu was bad news just like his father Dennis Lu. Still, Dylan Lu being a good friend with Victoria Tang, maybe, he wasn't as bad as she thought he was.
”But, as we grew up, I sort of understood that Lou's thought process was too sharp that it makes him look weird. He won't explain things but if you ask him, he will surely clarify things with you.” As Victoria Tang reminisced the past, her gaze softened with the particular thought of Louis Lu. ”The Lu family, you might have known that their family was rather complicated but Lou, he's the kindest among the Lu family. No offense.”
”Well, that's your opinion.” Taking no harm, Lexi just shrugged her shoulders because, in her own opinion, no one could beat her man.
”Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I will ever like any of the Lu cousins because all I thought was that they were my brothers. But, one fateful night, I was having drinks with Lou— family drama— and then, it happened.” Chuckling that sounded like a mockery to herself, another heavy sigh escaped Victoria Tang's mouth.
