Chapter 523 - Signs of Torrential Storm (2/2)

Tears appeared at the corners of his eyes.

Lu Yin Ze quickly looked away and blinked fast to dispel them, but Tang Yin who was guarded and cautious caught them.

Eh?

'He cried?'

Her eyes silently watched the man's side face.

Are those words really for her? Or for him?

Tang Yin could somehow guess Lu Yin Ze's situation.

With Tang Xinyang's constant chanting of 'the two of you should mend your broken heart together' and her persistent effort to make sure that both of them would not return to their one-sided loves, Tang Yin somehow guessed that the one who broke this man's heart was Tang Xinyang's friend.

And who was the only the female friend of her sister with the name 'Zhi'?

It was only Xiong Zhi.

So this person had an unrequited love for Xiong Zhi?

The winter daylight was dazzling.

It lit up the indoor patio and the heated flooring made the world feel warm.

But for the two, it was like their surroundings were dim and they were suffocating.

They stood a few meters away from each other.

Their genders, their heights, their appearances, and everything else looked different, but they seem like a reflection in the mirror.

Tang Yin did not like this kind of atmosphere. She also looked away and finally spoke after a long silence.

”Nothing is certain.”

Lu Yin Ze silently glanced at her. His blue eyes with silver streaks were more striking when moistened.

Tang Yin met his eyes.

She said seriously, ”Not unless those two marry. Heck, even marriage nowadays is fragile. What more of them? They have different status since birth. Especially when Xiong Zhi is the heiress of the family. It's a big matter. They will be oppressed from all sides—”

Lu Yin Ze's eyes suddenly went wide.

”You—” He had not mentioned Xiong Zhi yet.

How did she know? Did Tang Xinyang tell her sister?

Tang Yin did not explain how she found out and just continued, ”In the future, they will both grow tired.”

Lu Yin Ze looked at her in bewilderment.

Tang Yin crossed her arm.

”Do you know how to seduce someone?”

***

While the two was locked in the indoor patio, the two elders of the family were having their own serious talk.

Old Lu's cup suddenly fell to the ground and shattered.

”What did you say?!”

Mistress Tang regretfully glanced at the antique teacup she had bought from the auction long ago.

”If you are shocked, just yell, what are you breaking my teacup for?”

Old Lu finally calmed down. ”Pardon me. I will send you a new set.”

Mistress Tang nodded. She was happy with his promise. She put down her teacup first before speaking.

”As I've told you, EMA found out that your eldest grandson went to the South and became friends with some people there. At that time, Ming Zhi Yi also visited the North a couple of times. It's an amazing coincidence, he also formed some friendsh.i.p.s with some powers in the region.”

Old Lu frowned.

He repeated what Mistress Tang had said that caused the tea cup to fall earlier.

His face was serious.

”And you are saying that those people are part of a single organization?”

Mistress Tang: ”Yes. You and I are also a part of it. ”

She looked at Old Lu with deep eyes.

Considering what happened a long time ago…

”I believed that they are planning something that is detrimental to the Lu family, and likely will impact all four families.” Then Mistress Tang eyes flashed, ”Or perhaps not only us...We could only determine what their motive really is after they had revealed the first part of their plan...”

Old Lu listened. He thought of that as well.

Mistress Tang continued, ”Now that both of them are in the country, their next step is definitely going to implicate us. They are doing things in absolute secrecy, so I cannot further inquire without alarming them. But once the time comes and their plan plays out, I'm sure that it will be clear then. However, I don't think we can't just wait passively.”

Old Lu took a deep breath.

”That Ming Zhi Yi, is he planning to, perhaps…” He was unable to continue his words.

Mistress Tang nodded with a serious face without letting him finish.

”Likely. I think you should prepare. Perhaps the time will soon come when your eldest grandson will come knocking on your door to bring you and your precious grandson down.”

Old Lu closed his eyes tightly for a moment, then nodded gravely.

”I know. I only worry about my little Yin...”

Mistress Tang was also silent.

The silence stretched on for a long time before Old Lu spoke again.

”Are there any results with the Qian family?”
