Embarrassed and blushing once more, Shi Guang really wanted to find a hole to bury herself into.

The person who had spoken earlier on–that gentle and kind girl–smiled at Shi Guang once more, “Hello, I’m Lu Zhiyao, Yanchen’s older cousin!”

Beside her was a cute and obedient looking girl with a graceful charm. Smiling out brightly, she introduced herself immediately as well, “Hello sister! I’m Lu Xuebao, Yanchen’s younger cousin!”

“Hello, I’m Shi Guang!”

Lu Zhiyao looked at that expressionless cousin of hers and remembered about his difficult character, guessing that it would be difficult for him to make an introduction; hence, she took on the task.

“Shi Guang, you must already know of Xiao Bai and Yanzhi who are beside you. The person who spoke to you earlier on was my elder brother, Lu Baijun. And beside him is Yanchen’s 2nd brother, Lu Huaijing.”

Shi Guang wasn’t someone with face blindness; however, this was a table filled with handsome men and gorgeous beauties. For a moment or so, it was really difficult for her to remember everyone. By the end of it all, she could only remember Lu Zhiyao, Lu Xuebao, Lu Baijun and Lu Huaijing…

However, she wasn’t troubled over it.

She garnered that she wouldn’t be meeting these people in the future anyway. So, there was no need for any awkward moments where she would bump into them yet would not recall their names.

As the dinner party was about to begin, the elders at the main table entered the hall one after another.

Finally free of all the gazes from everyone, Shi Guang felt relieved as she followed everyone to look over at the main table.

This was the first time Shi Guang had seen Lu Yanchen’s father. Lu Yanchen’s features were closer to that of his mother–Shen Lingshuang–and unlike the hardened ones of his father. Instead, his elder brother, Lu Yanzhi, looked more like the father.

Father Lu was wearing an army uniform as well, with a few strands of white hair mixed in his head of black. With a strong and muscular body, every step he took brought a strong gust with him, exuding an aura that forbade anyone from challenging his authority. Whomever he was looking at, even if it were just a casual glance, would feel a strong killing intent coming forth. This entire place was reminiscent of how a general would attack a city in the olden times, and Father Lu was none other than the general.

After getting to his seat, Father Lu cast a sweeping gaze and raised his glass, signaling the start of the dinner party. Even though it was just a casual sweep, Father Lu had still noticed Shi Guang–the foreign girl seated at the vice main table.

He did not recognize Shi Guang, neither did he know why she was seated at that table. But based on where she was seated, she was either someone that was brought over by his eldest or fourth son.

However, he knew that now was not the time to question about that.

To him, something like this didn’t matter, and thus, he just let it be.

As for Shen Lingshuang, she naturally knew who Shi Guang was. However, she truly had a huge shock when she caught sight of Shi Guang at the vice main table.

‘How could Lu Yanchen have her sit beside him at an occasion as such!’

‘There are people of the Yang Family here! What if they were to cause a ruckus!’

‘Really, this son surely doesn’t spare me from any worries at all.’

Even though Shen Lingshuang was scolding out at Lu Yanchen in her heart, she wasn’t really angry at her son at all. She was only afraid that he would have to get it from his father upon returning home later.

Each time the two of them met, Shen Lingshuang would be the most anxious party, feeling all aggrieved and upset. She blamed herself for marrying a soldier who would bash up his kids at the slightest disagreement.

However, she too felt troubled over leaving the issue with the Yangs hanging.

Thankfully, because of the incident with Xiao Bai earlier on, she had finally understood why her youngest son did not like Yang Sitong at all. In fact, she wasn’t even really willing for Yang Sitong to get married into the Lus anymore.

As the dinner party started, the entire hall started bustling out in noise and laughter. One after another, people clinked glasses and chatted, turning the scene lively.

A little short of appetite, Shi Guang instinctively cast a glance around the place when no one was noticing her. However, she did not catch sight of that mother and daughter duo of Yang Sitong and her mum.
