nSoon a sports car stopped in front of them.

nA pair of blue-eyed, blond-haired brothers who looked very alike got out of the car.

n

n

nThey saw Lu Yaohua and Tang Wenyi holding hands, looking very intimate.

nSimultaneously, they gazed in admiration for the couple.

n“Mr. Lu and Mdm. Tang, right?”

nAs the elder brother, Ryan spoke first.

n

n

nFaking calmness, Lu Yaohua said, “You must be Mr. Ryan?”

nHe looked at the shorter man next to him and smiled. “And this is Mr. Rick?”

nRick grinned and whistled. He hugged Lu Yaohua and Tang Wenyi and said, “You two are really a match made in heaven!”

nTang Wenyi loved hearing that. She snuggled into Lu Yaohua’s arms coyly.

n

n

nLu Yaohua said embarrassedly, “Sorry, my wife is a little timid.”

nThe Victor brothers, who had no idea what was going on, instantly had an even better impression of them.

nIf Lu Ming had witnessed this scene, he would be so disgusted that he would lose his appetite.

nTang Wenyi was not timid.

nIf she was timid, no one in this world could be considered bold.

nA timid person would not have done heartless things.

n

n

nThe bottom line was, it was just a pretense.

nNobody would have thought that such a gorgeous appearance belied a vile heart.

nLu Yaohua and Tang Wenyi ushered the two brothers to a spacious table by the window.

nThe tables in the hall were separated by soundproof partitions. The privacy measures were very good as conversations at one table could not be heard at another.

nThe dishes had been selected when the reservation was made.

nWhen they arrived, all the dishes were served.

nIn order to please the palate of the Victor brothers, Lu Yaohua and Tang Wenyi had specially ordered cooked food.

nTang Wenyi cut a piece of steak with a silver knife and fed it to Lu Yaohua.

n

n

nLu Yaohua swallowed the food in satisfaction.

nThe waiter poured red wine for the three of them. When he was about to pour the wine for Tang Wenyi, Lu Yaohua stopped him. “Sorry, my wife is allergic to red wine, so you don’t have to pour for her.”

nThe waiter nodded and left.

nHe felt a little baffled. “There is red wine in the steak, so why is she eating it?” he wondered.

n“Can it be that the allergy symptoms come in waves?”

nTang Wenyi had no idea that her allergies had been disclosed.

nShe was eating her imported steak with no qualms.

n“Wenyi.”

nLu Yaohua said affectionately.

nTang Wenyi felt as if she was transported back to the time when she was passionately in love with him. She turned around and blushed. “What is it, Yaohua?”

nLu Yaohua picked up a napkin and gently wiped the corner of her mouth. “You really don’t care about your image when you see food. This isn’t home.”

nThen he turned around and said sincerely, “I’m sorry, my wife is like this.”

nThe Victor brothers looked at each other.

n

n

nRick said, “Your wife is really cute! Does she love food?”

nLu Yaohua nodded readily. “She likes to snack in between times. I don’t even know how she got such a good appetite.”

n“But your wife has maintained a good figure.”

nRyan marveled.

nTang Wenyi panicked, but she maintained a smile on her face and said, “I always go to the gym after eating. I don’t want to become a fatty.”

nIn reality, she was too lazy to exercise, and in order to maintain her figure, she sometimes skipped her meals.

nShe would never eat snacks because she hated junk food.

nShe seemed to have thought of something and said coyly, “I used to be even slimmer before I was with Yaohua. It was his fault that I packed on the extra pounds.”

nRick smiled and asked, “Both of you must be very happy, right?”

nTang Wenyi nodded. “We have a cute son. I remember that our son put himself in a gift box as a big birthday surprise for Yaohua!”

nLu Ze had indeed done this before, but his ultimate goal was to get Lu Yaohua to pay for something that he liked. All these years, he had only given that one birthday present.

n“Wow, that’s really interesting!”

nRyan said cheerfully.

nLu Yaohua wiped the sweat off his forehead. If it wasn’t to amuse the Victor brothers, it would not be necessary to make up stories.

nThe two of them had received information that the Victor brothers came from a traditional American Christian family. Not only could they not eat raw or bloody food, they also put a premium on family values and family ties.

nSo Lu Yaohua and Tang Wenyi had to appear more affectionate than usual.

nIt was all to climb the ladder!

nHe secretly encouraged himself. As long as he could endure this moment, it would be over soon!

n“Speaking of which, that kid of mine only knew how to bum around all day. I thought that he’d never amount to anything. In the end, he surprised us by visiting my mother-in-law first thing in the morning when she was suddenly hospitalized.”

nHe paused for a moment before continuing. “When we arrived at the hospital, he was busy caring for his grandma. At that time, we even said that the devil incarnate at home was filial at last.”

nOf course, the story was made up—he was actually the mastermind of the incident.

nBack then, he wanted to please his parents-in-law. That was why he went to the hospital before dawn when he found out that his mother-in-law was seriously ill.

nThe more Rick looked at them, the more pleased he was. He said, “There’s a saying in China that goes, ‘The little crow and the little lamb are grateful for their nurturing.’ If we don’t value family, then aren’t we worse than animals?”

n“That’s right, that’s why we particularly value the character of our business partners,” Ryan added.

nUnbeknown to them, all of this was caught on camera.

nLu Ming propped his chin as he fixed his eyes on the video.

nHe recalled how his mother had also been so intimate with Lu Yaohua a long time ago.

nOne time, he and his mother did not have food for two days. They would not be able to sustain starvation any longer.

nHence, he had no choice but to look for Lu Yaohua. He saw his mother kneeling on the ground and begging him.

nBut Lu Yaohua kicked his mother away impatiently and left.

nHe would never forget it.

nIn the end, they managed to survive with the help of a kindhearted passer-by.

n“Judging by Lu Yaohua’s demeanor now, he must have forgotten about it,” Lu Ming thought.

nHe snorted. He could understand that one should constantly strive to make progress.

nHowever, even though there was a better way to do that, Lu Yaohua had chosen the worst possible way.

nHe wanted to see the downfall of Lu Yaohua.
