Chapter 201 - FRIENDLY AND BRIGHT YOUNG MAN (1/2)

LUO REN walked out of the study of his uncle first.  His uncle and father were still talking about business.  His aunt already left earlier to take care of lunch.  He wished he had done the same.  Then instead of listening to his father and uncle talked about prospective land deals, he could spend that time with Luo Yan.

He was thinking of looking for Luo Yan but when he was about to do that, he came across Luo Jin instead.  He looked like he just entered the villa from the garden.

”Xiao Jin, you're not with Yan Yan?” he asked.

”He's in the garden.”

”Oh?  It's rare not to see you clinging to Yan Yan every free chance you got,” he teased.

Luo Jin blushed.  ”I- I'm not c-clinging to him!  Anyway, I have to tell the cook that another person is eating lunch with us.  So, Brother should not bother me.”

He was about to walk pass Luo Ren but his older brother stopped him.  ”Who is this another person?”

”Ah, it's a friend of Brother Ze.  And also, the captain of the team we joined in that game we're playing.”

Luo Jin hesitated if he should tell his older brother about his suspicion that Shen Ji Yun had a not so innocent interest on their second brother.  But remembering the blunder he just did earlier, he would just feel even guiltier for badmouthing Shen Ji Yun behind his back.

So, he chose to just keep quiet.  Surely, Luo Ren would notice that's guy's abnormal interest towards their brother soon enough.

Luo Ren, of course, remembered this captain his brother was talking about.  Because Luo Yan mentioned him more than once in their conversation.  And every time his brother did so, there was always a smile on his face.  As if the person he was talking about was giving him much happiness.

He wondered what kind of person it was that could make his adorable younger brother smile like that just by simply talking about him.  Surely, he's a friendly and bright young man who could easily make people gravitate towards him.  That's the kind of impression Luo Ren had based on Luo Yan's stories about the guy.

Seeing that his brother seemed to no longer have any questions, Luo Jin planned to continue walking towards the kitchen.  But before he could, he saw their aunt walking out of the kitchen area.

”Aunt Xiulan,” he called.  ”There's a guest that would be joining us for lunch.”

”And who might that be?” Sun Xiulan asked, curious.

Wait- it wouldn't be one of those shameless relatives of hers who kept on trying to mooch off from Bai Chen, right?  Just thinking of that possibility already annoyed her to no end.

”It's Shen Ji Yun.”

Hearing Luo Jin's answer, Sun Xiulan's irritation quickly vanished.  ”Oh, it's Ji Yun.  Don't worry, there's enough food for everyone.  So, it doesn't matter if another person joins us.”

It was a good thing she asked their cook to make bigger portions of food for their lunch.  Although he wondered why Shen Ji Yun would drop by during such a holiday, she didn't mind that he's here.  After all, that kid was almost like a son to her.

It seemed like this Shen Ji Yun person had been a frequent visitor here.  That's what Luo Ren thought when he heard their aunt's quick answer to what Luo Jin said.  She just accepted the surprise visit of that Shen Ji Yun as if he had done it a number of times of already.
