To Love You Again

Chapter 202 - Changing

Xiong Zhi was expressionless.

"You\'re right. I don\'t want to see you. A Xiong should not act pretendedly around any people, right? Same goes for you."

These words of Xiong Zhi made Lu Jin looked at her.

\'Does she knows? No, it\'s impossible. Only me and father knows about it.\'

Gao Huan just smiled. He doesn\'t like her words but surprisingly he was not angry. He was just feeling amused what this girl was talking about or if she knows something.

"I say, you are right. But as an heir, every move we make is judged. I suggest Young Miss Zhi must be careful to not make people talk about you."

"If people can talk on a Xiong." Xiong Zhi answered without any remorse to lower herself against this bastard.

"There are some. But I am really sincere. I will be happier if we become a friend."

"It\'s not my responsibility to make you happy." Xiong Zhi could not stop her words as she wanted to erase that smile in this guy even once.

"Is that so? I thought-"

"Excuse me." Lu Yin Ze intercepted at the two.

He looked at Guan Gao Huan and Xiong Zhi.

"The living room in Lu Mansion is quite big. I will let my butlers prepare some refreshments. So we can head there and talk more to each other. As you see, that is more of a good place to discuss things."?Lu Yin Ze reminded the two that they were in the burial site. He doesn\'t know what was going on the two. Xiong Zhi might be expressionless but her tone and aura made him got the idea that Xiong Zhi doesn\'t like Gao Huan. He had like Gao Huan before when they were children, but people changed. He knew very well that fact. So if he needs to choose between the two, he would choose Xiong Zhi. But he was still polite as he still invited Gao Huan.

Gao Huan then smiled and waved his hand.

"It\'s okay. We will visit auntie first. That\'s my goal why I\'m here. I am just happy to see a Lu and a Xiong seems to have a good relationship despite the relationship between your grandfather\'s."

Lu Yin Ze furrowed his brow at this.

"But I bet we will be able to see each other again, right Young Miss Zhi?"

Xiong Zhi ignored him.

"We will excuse ourselves first." Gao Huan then went to his own golf cart.

The masked man glanced at Lu Yin Ze at the same time that Lu Yin Ze looked at him.

Lu Jin turned around but then a voice stopped him.

"Wait."

It was Lu Yin Ze.

"Sir with the mask. I will be impolite but can you take your mask off?"

Guan Gao Huan and Lu Jin stiffened.

All the attention then turned to Lu Jin.

Even Xiong Zhi glanced at this man who she forgot to notice since Gao Huan\'s beasty presence was strong that all her attention was on making herself composed.

The head butler felt the atmosphere a bit tense. He explained to Lu Yin Ze.

"Second Young Master, that man was the representative I am talking about that took care of Madam\'s tombstone. " The butler said this so Lu Yin Ze would stop being impolite.

This made Lu Yin Ze more dubious.

"I thank again Young Master Gao Huan and his representative for taking care of my Mother\'s tombstone. But head butler, you allow people to come in and go here wearing a mask? " Lu Yin Ze\'s tone was a bit apprehensive.

"T-that.." The head butler could not say anything to refute Lu Yin Ze\'s words.

The burial site was a sacred ground. Like every other place, there were certain rules that the visitors need to follow. Dress code, things to not bring, and etc. Mask is not on the list, but wearing a mask on a sacred ground like this especially on the Lu\'s burial site was still an act of disrespect. Especially now in this condition where an owner was asking the visitor to take it off.

Guan Gao Huan turned to Lu Yin Ze.

"It is my request. This person is my trusted subordinate and he did not like the look of his face and how other people looked at him. He was the only one I can count on to visit Auntie. For sure you will not mind that right? " Gao Huan made nonsense.

This nonsense made Lu Yin Ze\'s doubt increase more.

"Then why bring him here when you already here?"

Gao Huan smiled politely.

"Are you interrogating me, Second Young Master?" His voice was still gentle. But it made the people around them knew that the situation was getting out of hand.

"I am. This is the Lu mansion. I have the authority to interrogate whoever comes here."

"Is this how you speak who had sincere feelings to visit you Mom that you haven\'t visited in eight years?"

Lu Yin Ze was struck dumb.

"I don\'t understand why you are insisting something rude, Second Young Master."

Lu Yin Ze could not find anything to refute. His objection was to thank Guan Gao Huan for visiting his Mom every year. But now he was demanding a rude request to the man who took care of his mother\'s tomb. It was because he felt familiar with the masked man. He was like the masked man in the IAmFashionista\'s event.

Lu Yin Ze realized he had become rude.

"I am sorry. I should not have acted rudely. I am just being careful. I hope you forgive my rude actions."

Guan Gao Huan just let it pass.

"It\'s alright. It\'s understandable. I will excuse myself for now." Guan Gao Huan did not linger any more and left. The golf cart went to the inner section.

Lu Yin Ze stood there. His eyes were still on the back of that masked man.

"Yin Ze?" Song Xuantin called out.

Lu Yin Ze turned to his friends.

"Let\'s go." But as soon as he sat on the chair he dialed a number.

"I would like you to investigate a man." The three turned to Lu Yin Ze.

Lu Yin Ze turned to the head butler.

"Head butler, please provided all the necessary information to this email."

Lu Yin Ze used the Tang\'s family red card. (refer chap. 119)

The identity of the masked man in the IAmFashionista was being investigated as well. But somehow, the experts from the Lu family and the experts from EMA were having a hard time in finding information. They said they need more time as the two masked men were probably connected to the underworld.

Lu Yin Ze was young. He probably doesn\'t know what the true meaning of the \'underworld\' and the power it holds unlike the a.d.u.l.ts in the industry. However, he knew that it means the two masked men have tight security like Lu\'s. It was okay if the two were not an enemy of the Lu family. But somehow, Lu Yin Ze had a thought that what if the two targeted the Lu Empire? It might be just a suspicious thought without a basis. But Lu Yin Ze could not feel assured as long he doesn\'t have any information about them. Knowing their identity would probably make him feel a bit better.

"Is something wrong?" Xiong Zhi asked Lu Yin Ze.

Lu Yin Ze just smiled awkwardly.

"I\'m just suspicious of the man\'s identity, that\'s all."

Xiong Zhi observed Lu Yin Ze.

"If it bothered you a lot you should have still insisted to take his mask off. Even a Guan was stopping you." Xiong Zhi said.

Lu Yin Ze shook his head.

"It will be rude and it might be taken against the Lu family. The Guan is here to express their respect to my Mom. And yet I-" Lu Yin Ze remembered how he was an unfilial son who could not even visit his own mother.

"Investigating his identity from afar is what I can do for now."

Xiong Zhi felt like Lu Yin Ze really changed for the better. The gloomy man she met at the rooftop was nowhere.

"Yin Ze, later, I need to tell you something."

This talk was only between Lu Yin Ze and Xiong Zhi. Lu Yin Ze was stunned. What the two of them are going to talk about? No, more importantly, Xiong Zhi had finally called him in his first name.

"What are you guys are talking about?" Song Xuantin sniffed her nose to their discussion.

"Are you talking about how Xiong Zhi and the Guan guy seems so close?" Song Xuantin added.

"We are not close." Xiong Zhi immediately against that thought.

"Eh? Why you seem angry? Do you hate that Guan guy?"

"I do."

"Eh?!!!! Why?! Is there a story? Tell us!"

"No. It\'s a bad story."

The golf cart continued to its journey as Song Xuantin pestered Xiong Zhi about Guan Gao Huan.

Xiong Zhi did not seem to realize that she too had changed. She was not even feeling a bit fretful as Song Xuantin pushed her on. Probably, Linfeng\'s confession and meeting her benefactor gave her assurance that she could change what was on her way.
