Chapter 422 - Out of Character (1/2)

”...”

A long silence followed as if someone pressed a pause button.

Linfeng did not know how to react.

He wanted to applause for his Young Miss' sharp tongue and courage to snap back at this mysterious man surnamed Lu. At the same time, he wanted to pat her head for doing a good job in delivering a clean hit. There was also a bit of a helpless feeling because the way she talked to the other man… was not exactly polite either.

”Heh.”

”...”

Linfeng, Xiong Zhi, and Mr. Kang looked towards the source with varying expressions of surprise, but the receiver of their looks was an expressionless man who simply stared back at them.

His cold eyes finally gave out a hint of confusion, seemingly asking, 'What?'

The other three wondered if perhaps they had heard it wrong.

Lu Jin's face was the same as always.

The abrupt and almost indiscernible laugh was practically like an illusion. And yet, that sound was very apparent in the silence earlier.

The icy cold man focused his eyes on Xiong Zhi. ”My apologies if my manners seem lacking to you. However, I think you two should be the least ones who can tell me that. Since throughout the banquet, the two of you were clearly lacking in decency.”

He then glanced sideways at Linfeng. ”A mere butler flirting with his Young Miss in public, what a lack of morality this butler has.”

Linfeng: He really did not forget to specifically bite at him, did he?

He was about to reply when the woman beside him who was totally ticked off replied faster than him.

”That's only a normal act between lovers. We've done it discreetly and no one called us out. It is strange how it is only you who noticed that, unless you have been watching us,” Xiong Zhi coldly shot back. ”I didn't know that the first young master, the 'black sheep' of the Lu family, is such a stalker.”

Mr. Kang frowned, feeling incensed at the words.

This woman's mouth was crude. No one dared to talk to his master like that and live for a day longer!

Surprisingly, Lu Jin did not take offense of her words. He was more concerned of another matter.

'Lovers? The young miss of the Xiong family is this steadfast about her relationship with this butler?'

Lu Jin was out of the country in the past years, however, he had eyes here in the country.

He was always updated of the major events happening in the four families. Also, with Guan Gao Huan's constant update about his mission, he knew that relationship between this master and butler pair was not pure like others.

But he did not expect that this woman would be so earnest in their relationship that she did not even bother to hide it from him.

'Are they really prepared to come out clean in public?'

Lu Jin glanced at Linfeng to see his reaction.

The butler had a calm face, although his eyes seemed softer and had a glint of amus.e.m.e.nt.

Lu Jin internally frowned.

He really did not like this Linfeng for a certain reason.

It seemed like Guan Gao Huan and his brother would not stand a chance in breaking up this couple.

Lu Jin gave them a final glance before quietly leaving.

Mr. Kang was dazed for a couple of seconds and then he followed suit.
