Chapter 62 - It Was Actually a Lu Family Member! (1/2)

That night, it was drizzling in Luo City and water droplets were dripping from the rows of green bamboo shoots. Mist formed in the sky from the cold weather.

The strong breeze was blowing at a pavilion not too far away and it was a rare sight to see such a beautiful and pure piece of land with all of the current developments.

Shen Yichen sat beside Gu Pingsheng in the pavilion as they waited for their guest to arrive. Gu Pingsheng had already prepared the dry tea leaves on the table and he was boiling a pot of hot water beside the wooden table.

Very soon, a black umbrella appeared before them and Shen Yichen looked towards the black umbrella, looking forward to seeing who was under it.

The first person that caught his eyes was Jiang Yuning and she was holding tightly onto another person’s arm.

When the two of them finally arrived at the pavilion and lowered the black umbrella, Shen Yichen was speechless from shock.

It was a Lu family member!

It was actually a Lu family member!

Furthermore, it was none other than the prestigious heir to the Lu family, Lu Jingzhi. He was one of the top representative figures of the next generation in Luo City.

He could tell that Jiang Yuning and Lu Jingzhi had an intimate relationship because she was holding tightly onto his arms as they walked in. However, he could not tell what the relationship between Lu Jingzhi and Chairman Gu was.

“You have finally arrived?” Gu Pingsheng said as he looked up at the two people who were busy putting the umbrella aside. He snorted and said, “Couldn’t you have left your house earlier?”

“I was caught up in a meeting and that is why we got delayed,” Lu Jingzhi explained as he kept the umbrella before sitting down at the wooden table with Jiang Yuning.

“This…is my nephew,” Gu Pingsheng said as he introduced Lu Jingzhi to Shen Yichen. “My biological nephew.”

Shen Yichen was stunned once again before he greeted Lu Jingzhi. “Hello, Mr. Lu. It is a pleasure to meet you.”

“As for their relationship, you can open your eyes and see for yourself,” Gu Pingsheng said as he glanced at the two sitting before them. He was too lazy to explain the situation to him.

Jiang Yuning smiled and was about to explain their relationship to Shen Yichen, but was stopped by Lu Jingzhi who quickly replied, “She is my girlfriend. She will be the future Mrs. Lu and she will also be helping me manage matters relating to the Lu family in the future. Therefore, I hope that Director Shen will be able to take good care of her on my behalf.”

Shen Yichen was stunned for a moment as he digested the information that he had just received.

He could not understand how their relationship could have happened. After all, Jiang Yuning was Lu Zongye’s fiancé up until recently. It had only been such a short time so…

“Their relationship may seem complicated to you, but it is not what you think it is,” Gu Pingsheng explained to Shen Yichen. “I just want you to know that I am handing you a very big responsibility when I entrust Jiang Yuning into your care. You know I am not joking now.”

“I understand,” Shen Yichen replied. Although he seemed to reply in a calm manner, he could not help breaking out in cold sweat.

“You do not have to be so nervous. I just want you to treat her well and do what is best for her. Trust me, she is worth it,” Lu Jingzhi suddenly said.

“Didn’t I already tell you that you are always acting like you are my father?” Jiang Yuning said as she poked Lu Jingzhi’s cheek because he had such a serious expression on his face. She then corrected her posture and sat properly in her seat before she said, “Uncle, are these tea leaves here because you are waiting for me to prepare the tea for you?”

“What do you think?” Gu Pingsheng stared at her.

Jiang Yuning laughed and then wiped her hands with wet tissue before she placed the dried tea leaves directly in front of her.

She started by pouring the boiling water into the teapot and then covering the tea pot with its lid. Then, she poured away the water in the teapot before placing the dried tea leaves into the cups. She then poured boiling water over the tea leaves to rinse the leaves before she placed them into the teapot. These were the steps that she had taken to wash the tea leaves.

After that, she poured out half of the water that had been used to wash the tea leaves onto the platter before them and at that instant, they could immediately smell the fragrance of the tea.

She then poured out the remaining half of the tea water over the tea cups to rinse the cups.

The next step was to add boiling water into the teapot and wait for a few minutes before the tea was ready to serve. When the tea was finally ready, Jiang Yuning poured out a cup of tea and served it to Gu Pingsheng for him to taste it.

Gu Pingsheng took the tea cup and started sipping the tea slowly. He was very impressed because she indeed knew the correct way to prepare tea. “I thought that this girl was just talking big when she said she knew how to make tea. I did not expect her to be this good at it.”
