Chapter 367 – Let’s play a game with your daddy, what do you say? (3)

Lu Shaoyan looked over at Zhouzhou. Noticing the troubled look on him, Lu Shaoyan went on, “Don’t you want to find out just how much your daddy likes you?”

Zhouzhou looked at him and blinked. He did not say anything.

“You really don’t want to know?” Lu Shaoyan continued to tempt him.

“But… But…”

“No buts. All we are going to do is to see how long it will take Daddy to find you.” Lu Shaoyan stood up, picked Zhouzhou up from the couch, and placed him on the floor. He then walked toward one of the hallways with Zhouzhou’s hand in his.

Zhouzhou was half-reluctant. He promised Daddy that he would wait there docilely, but Uncle seemed to be right that Daddy didn’t seem to like him all that much either.

Daddy didn’t smile at him much, or hug him much, and never picked him up from school…

As he thought about all those with his head lowered, he walked out of the banquet hall while holding onto Lu Shaoyan.

Lu Beichuan, in the meantime, was dealing with the pestering from Shen Weiyin after they had “inadvertently” ran into each other.

“Beichuan, I want to apologize for my grandfather’s behavior. I’ve heard of what happened at the Lu Corporation a few days ago. Please don’t blame him. He is old and no longer has the mental clarity that he had when he was younger. He was being used by someone else. He regretted a lot the last couple of days and worried that what he had done had brought about troubles for the Lu Corporation.”

Lu Beichuan, looking at Shen Weiyin, who had obviously spent a lot of time on her appearance today, narrowed his eyes and said, “Whatever had happened is in the past. You don’t need to bring it up again.”

“How about this? Why don’t I take you out to dinner in a couple of days and we will consider that my apology to you?”

“That will not be necessary.”

Shen Weiyin’s smile stiffened a little. “How can you say that? This was, after all, caused by my grandfather. I…“

“Miss Shen, if this is what you want to talk about, then I believe I have already made myself very clear. The incident is already over and there is no need to talk about it anymore.”

His “Miss Shen” sounded both distant and strange. Shen Weiyin’s smile froze on her and the chill starting from her back quickly enveloped her. She felt so cold that she almost couldn’t hold onto the glass in her hand.

“Beichuan, I… I feel that we…”

“Miss Shen.” Lu Beichuan’s voice was still and emotionless. “I do not believe there is ‘we’ between you and I. If there is nothing else, we are done talking.”

Shen Weiyin turned pale. She gritted her teeth for a little while and finally squeezed out a smile to maintain her etiquette. “Alright.”

Lu Beichuan looked away from her and in the direction of the couch where Zhouzhou was sitting. The couch was empty and the half-drank glass of warm milk was left on the table.

Lu Beichuan focused his eyes but no panic would be seen on him. He walked over toward the couch looking the same as before.

This banquet was hosted by a friend whom he had been working with for years. All of the guests that were invited were well known in the business field. The security measures were tight and there shouldn’t be any unexpected situations.

He waved over the server whom he had placed Zhouzhou with. The server, as soon as he noticed that Zhouzhou was gone, had turned pale. Stuttering, he said, “Mr. Lu, it’s… it’s not my fault. A man came over claiming that he is his uncle. That was why I left.”

“Uncle?”

“Yes! Uncle. His surname seemed to be Lu as well.”

Lu Beichuan narrowed his eyes. It was Lu Shaoyan.

He thought about it some and gave his order to the server. “Go look for Mr. Chen and tell him what had happened. Had him look at the security footage.”

Mr. Chen was the host of the banquet today.

The server nodded and went looking for Mr. Chen.

As for Lu Beichuan, he looked at a side exit and walked toward it quickly. Pulling out his cellphone, he dialed Lu Shaoyan’s number.

Surprisingly, someone picked it up.

“Where are you?” asked Lu Beichuan concisely. “What do you want?”
