Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Actually, it made sense when she thought about it. With Lu Bei’s looks and bearing, how bad could his father be? Looking at Lu Wanggui now, one could vaguely tell from his facial features and figure that he might have been more outstanding than Lu Bei when he was young.
This man was clearly thirty-nine years old, and he looked like he was in his early thirties. As expected, the heavens favored outstanding people.
Xiang Xiaoyuan’s heart was turbulent, but she did not show it on her face. To outsiders, she looked like a newly married wife who was shy when she saw her husband suddenly appear.
As a big shot in the business world, Lu Wanggui’s status was incomparable for all the parents present. The parents who were talking loudly just now stood up one after another after Lu Wanggui appeared. They greeted him warmly and fawningly, “CEO Lu, you’re here? The school really didn’t reveal anything at all.”
Lu Wanggui dismissed the parents who came forward to curry favor with him with a few words. His gaze fell on Xiang Xiaoyuan. No one noticed that when he saw Xiang Xiaoyuan, his expression changed for a second. Perhaps it was because he had been in the top position for too long, but his aura was extremely strong. No one dared to look at him for a long time. Naturally, no one saw the surprise that flashed across his eyes.
The parents sitting next to Xiang Xiaoyuan stood up when they saw Lu Wanggui. “Please have a seat, CEO Lu.”
Lu Wanggui walked to the side of Xiang Xiaoyuan and sat down under everyone’s gaze. The two of them were not too close, but they were not too far away either. Lu Wanggui could smell a faint rose fragrance. It was clearly a very strong fragrance, but surprisingly, it was not annoying.
Recalling the scene before he entered the door, he turned his head to look at Xiang Xiaoyuan. “What were you saying just now? Continue, don’t worry about me.”
His attitude could not be more calm, but Xiang Xiaoyuan wanted to cry but had no tears.
Continue? The topic was interrupted, and the emotions that she had been brewing were gone. Xiang Xiaoyuan felt that her beloved 800,000 to 900,000 yuan had flown away.
Her pretty eyebrows were slightly furrowed. The other parents saw that the atmosphere between her and Lu Wanggui was not right, so they communicated with each other through eye contact.
They had not discussed the candidate for the parent-teacher conference representative for a long time. Now that they finally had a volunteer, of course, they would not let it go easily. Moreover, with Xiang Xiaoyuan’s identity, if Xiang Xiaoyuan accepted this responsibility, it would be beneficial to them.
Firstly, Xiang Xiaoyuan had just married into the Lu family. It was the time for her to show off. She would work harder than the other parents. Secondly, she was Lu Wanggui’s wife. The school would not dare to neglect her. They would only be more cautious than before.
If it were not for Xiang Xiaoyuan’s volunteering, they would not have dared to think about Xiang Xiaoyuan. However, since she had volunteered, all the people present would not let this opportunity go.
One of the parents said cheerfully, “CEO Lu, your arrival has attracted all of Mrs. Lu’s attention. There is a saying that beauty is misleading. Now, CEO Lu, your beauty is distracting.”
Another parent also chimed in, “That’s right. Look at the two of you. Both of you are stunning. Initially, it’s just Mrs. Lu, now that CEO Lu is here, you are really not giving us ordinary people a way out. We’re both humans, but why is there such a big difference in looks? The two of you sitting here are the perfect couple.”
Hearing the parents banter, Lu Wanggui lowered his head to look at Xiang Xiaoyuan. What appeared in front of his eyes was a fair forehead. Her long black hair was tied to the back of her head with a white jade hairpin. A few strands of hair playfully stuck to her face and Xiang Xiaoyuan casually pinned them behind her. The moon-white tight-fitting qipao perfectly accentuated her curvy figure. She was clearly sitting in a well-behaved manner and had a straight back. However, her every frown and smile made people feel that she was extremely flirtatious.
Lu Wanggui calmly retracted his gaze. Her pitch-black eyes lowered slightly, hiding the probing depths of her eyes.
Xiang Xiaoyuan blushed when she was praised by the parents one after another. At the same time, she also understood the thoughts of the parents. They still hoped that she could be the representative of the parent-teacher conference. Thinking of this, she wanted to summon up the courage to talk to Lu Wanggui about this matter. However, when she met Lu Wanggui’s deep eyes, she became timid!
She was clearly able to face others with ease and without fear. How could she be timid when she met Lu Wanggui! Xiang Xiaoyuan quickly reflected on herself. The reason for her shyness might be that Lu Wanggui had the ability to kill her without saying a word?
The parents did not know what Xiang Xiaoyuan was thinking, they were still teasing her, “Aiyo, look at Mrs. Lu, this little woman. She’s so charming that even I, a woman, can’t stand it. Even my bones are getting soft.. We understand that you two haven’t seen each other for a long time, but can we settle the matter in front of us first? CEO Lu, are you afraid that we will tire Mrs. Lu and don’t want her to accept this job, so you rushed over at this time?”
