Chapter 623: The Young Lady of a Wealthy Family
Chapter 623: The Young Lady of a Wealthy Family
"Where are you going, aunt?" Lu Zeng got into the car helplessly and turned around to ask her.
Huo Yan was sulking there, quite angry:
"Don't ask me everything, okay? Can't you just drive out first?"
Lu Zeng was helpless and drove out first. How could he know where she wanted to go?
Lu Zeng looked at the time and felt helpless. The girl didn't want him to tell the Third Master, but it was also his working hours.
"Huo Yan, how about I take you to Mr. Zhou?" Lu Zeng tried to suggest.
But you can't just wander around the streets all the time. He's not an innocent person.
Huo Yan didn't say anything. Since she didn't say anything, Lu Zeng took it as her agreement and drove directly to Tengfei headquarters.
The car arrived at the garage, but the girl refused to get out. Zhuang Zhoucheng was very busy, so no one could bother her with him.
"I'm not going. I'll just stay here. Will you stay up there forever?" Huo Yan asked weakly.
Lu Zeng looked at her without responding, "I'm going to South City."
"Then I'll go with you. You want to deliver the information upstairs, right? How long will it take for you to come down?" Huo Yan looked up at Lu Zeng and asked in a low voice.
Lu Zeng sighed. He had already gotten out of the car and was leaning against the door, looking around subconsciously.
This is different in the capital city than in Kyoto. There are reporters lurking everywhere in the capital city, and he doesn't want to cause any trouble.
"I'll be down in a moment. Don't you really want to go up and see Mr. Zhou?" Lu Zeng asked her.
Huo Yan shook his head, "Don't tell him I'm out. He's not happy about me running around."
How could she not know that Zhuang Zhoucheng wanted her to stay in that house forever?
Want her to please his family, right?
She could understand Zhuang Zhoucheng's intention. Everyone wants their significant other to have a good relationship with their family.
But he didn't understand that to the Zhuang family, she was an outsider.
Could a family like that accept her so easily? He didn't watch idol dramas, so he didn't know how they played it out on TV, how many Cinderellas who married into wealthy families ended up being killed or disabled.
How could he be so confident in leaving her at home?
She knew clearly that none of his family liked her!
Lu Zeng glanced at her and closed the car door:
"I'll be down soon."
Huo Yan leaned listlessly in the car. Lu Zeng went up to the Tengfei Building, handed over the things, and came down. When he got into the car to see Huo Yan, she was almost drowsy.
Lu Zeng said: "Mr. Zhou is in a meeting."
The implication was that there was not much time, and Huo Yan didn't even raise his eyelids.
She wouldn't bother her, so why tell her this?
"I'm going to South City. Do you really want to go? I'd better send you back to the banker..."
"If you don't want me to follow you and are afraid that I will cause you trouble, just leave me anywhere. I don't want to go to the banker anyway." Huo Yan said sullenly.
Lu Zeng didn't say anything and drove the car out of the garage.
After all, not as profound as Zhuang Zhoucheng, Lu Zeng couldn't help but explain:
"It's not that I'm afraid you'll cause any trouble. It's just that if we were seen going in and out like this, it would have a huge impact. A single stone can cause a thousand ripples, you know? Many people are waiting for news to expose the banker. You're the banker's third wife, so why are you hanging out with an unknown man all day? A single photo is enough to stir up a huge uproar, even without reporters having to do anything. Mr. Zhou will naturally ignore false reports, but this has a huge impact on him and the banker."
Lu Zeng glanced at the rearview mirror as he spoke, feeling helpless. But no matter whether she listened to him or not, he still had to say something.
"You belong to Mr. Zhou. Although the Zhuang family didn't hold a press conference to announce it, your marriage to Mr. Zhou has been reported. Don't think you're safe just because you can come and go as you please. In Beijing, your words, actions, clothing, and every occasion you go to—as long as you appear in public, you represent the Zhuang family. Do you understand?"
"Zhuang Zhoucheng said that he doesn't want me to change. I am who I am. If I change, will I still be Huo Yan?" Huo Yan replied weakly.
Lu Zeng was blocked for a moment, and after a long while he said:
"Then it's up to you. You're not a child, and you understand some things yourself. If you insist on having your own way and don't care whether Mr. Zhou will be affected, then go ahead. I've said everything I need to say, and there's nothing I can do if you don't listen."
Huo Yan suddenly said:
"Why can't I go back to Kyoto first? Why must I be wherever Zhuang Zhoucheng is?"
Lu Zeng was stunned and felt helpless. She didn't hear what he said at all.
"You are husband and wife." Lu Zeng said concisely.
Huo Yan turned around and looked outside. The car drove past a beauty salon. Huo Yan said calmly:
"Stop the car. I'm going to get a beauty treatment. Don't rush over when you're done. I need to be back at the dealership before 6:30. It's up to you when you pick me up."
Lu Zeng glanced at the rearview mirror and the car quickly pulled over.
Huo Yan opened the car door and left. Lu Zeng had just gotten out of the car, locked the car and quickly followed.
Huo Yantou didn't even turn around and went straight into the beauty salon.
The service in the beauty salon is amazing, and the customers are treated like gods.
The person who served coffee and drinks spoke in a soft voice.
Huo Yan leaned listlessly on the sofa, scrolling through her phone boredly, wondering what kind of life a young lady from a wealthy family should live.
She didn't know anyone here. Other young ladies would spend their time getting together in groups of three or five to play ball, work out, get beauty treatments, go shopping, etc.
But she didn't know the families of any of Zhuang Zhoucheng's business friends.
Here, she can really be described as having no relatives at all, which is quite miserable.
"Miss, what do you need?"
The reception manager's voice of greeting was as comfortable as the spring sunshine on my face.
Huo Yan, however, was not very interested. He just pointed at Lu Zeng casually without saying anything.
Lu Zeng looked over and the manager immediately sat over and asked again:
"Excuse me, sir, do you want to wash your face or have an oil massage? I have Thai massage here..."
"It's our wife, which one is the best?" Lu Zeng said bluntly.
The manager was secretly shocked. They are not husband and wife?
A man who looks like this and is so respectable, is actually just a follower?
"Is this the lady? You've taken great care of yourself. We have full-body care here, as well as local care. It depends on whether you need whitening, hydrating, or conditioning products..."
The manager explained it in great detail, but Lu Zeng still didn't understand and went to see Huo Yan from time to time.
But Huo Yan didn't even raise his eyelids, looking tired.
She's already annoying enough, so please don't bother her with things like this, okay?
Lu Zeng finally reluctantly picked a full body care product, of course, because it was the most expensive.
There is a type of people who usually think that expensive things must have a reason for being expensive.
When asked for Huo Yan's opinion, she didn't say anything. She didn't care.
The manager wondered if this lady couldn't speak.
