My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife

"Hello, my name is Qin Yu!"

Qin Yu hastily stood up and reached out his hand towards Lu Wenrou's cousin.

"Hmm... Wenrou has mentioned you!"

Ou Changfeng, however, kept his hands behind his back, showing no intention of shaking hands with Qin Yu. In his eyes, there was even a hint of scorn and hostility.

It left Qin Yu feeling somewhat embarrassed and also completely puzzled. What did Lu Wenrou's cousin mean by this? They had just met, and he hadn't offended him, had he?

"By the way, Wenrou, let me introduce you. This is Shen Yubai, of the Shen Family from Capital City. And this is Uncle Shen, Shen Mobei."

This time, Qin Yu learned his lesson and only introduced Lu Wenrou and Shen Yubai, not mentioning her cousin, to avoid the awkwardness of facing another grimace.

There was no helping it; although he wasn't much to look at, he had the arrogance that came with being a young Pill Holding late-stage cultivator.

"Miss Lu, if I'm not mistaken, your father is General Lu, right?"

Shen Yubai stood up and said to Lu Wenrou.

"Hehe, that's right, he is indeed my father."

Lu Wenrou nodded.

"Truly a case of 'like father, like daughter'. Miss Lu, you possess an imposing and forthright beauty. If you ever come to Capital City, just give Xiao Bai a call if you need anything!"

As the scion of a top family, Shen Yubai certainly had a way with words.

"Then I'll surely get in touch with you more in the future, Young Master Shen!"

Lu Wenrou reached out proactively and shook hands with Shen Yubai.

She had always been in the military camp and didn't mingle with the circles of the wealthy second generation, so she did not know Shen Yubai. However, she trusted Qin Yu, and was confident that the friends he introduced were of good character.

"Wenrou, get a room for me, I need to rest. Hmph, the air in this big city is truly foul!"

Ou Changfeng, seeing the group laughing and chatting, seemed to become invisible, obviously a bit upset. He took out a handkerchief, covered his nose, and said.

"Okay, I'll go book a room!"

Lu Wenrou nodded.

"Miss Lu, the hotel is my property, let me have someone bring the key card over!"

Shen Yubai didn't wait for Lu Wenrou to go to the front desk, but hurriedly spoke and snapped his fingers at a girl at the front desk.

"No need, Wenrou should book the room, I don't want to owe someone a favor so easily!"

Ou Changfeng, however, was not willing to accept the gesture.

He came from a major sect and was also a top martial artist. Just like some rich people who do not want to accept others' goodwill for fear of owing a favor that they'll have to repay double later on.

"Young Master Shen, I can book the room myself!"

Lu Wenrou also felt a bit embarrassed. After all, she had spent time with her cousin in their childhood, and after spending over twenty years in a major sect, his temperament had become increasingly peculiar.

After going to the front desk to pay and getting a room, Lu Wenrou sent Ou Changfeng into the elevator before returning to the lounge area, slightly apologetically saying, "I'm sorry, my cousin may have spent too long in the wilds. To use a popular phrase, he's a bit socially anxious!"

"It's okay, a master like him is bound to be different from ordinary people!"

Shen Yubai waved his hand. Qin Yu had told him that Lu Wenrou's cousin was a disciple of a major sect and a Pill Holding late-stage master, so it made sense he was a bit haughty.

"He... probably feels a bit inferior, after all, his looks are not that great!"

Lu Wenrou spoke quite frankly.

"Uh..."

Shen Yubai was taken aback. He actually thought the same thing, but he didn't expect Lu Wenrou to say it out loud.

"Alright, let's not talk about my cousin anymore!"

Lu Wenrou sat down on the sofa, her gaze falling on Qin Yu, "Do you have free time lately?"

"Do you have a task?"

Qin Yu asked. He wasn't sure if he would be available because, before coming to Wu City, Han Bing had called him and mentioned that a young girl had gone missing in Jinling. It was likely related to those two Dual Cultivation experts from Blissful Hall.

He wasn't too eager to get involved; those two experts might be a bit sleazy, but their cultivation level was too high. Even now, he would only have the option to flee if he encountered them.

"It's not a mission, after all, you are currently the leader of a group at Dragon Gate, and you've yet to meet the higher-ups, right? If you're available, take a trip to Capital City, and meet with them. Besides, in a month's time, the martial arts society from the island country will come to Capital City to exchange martial arts knowledge with Dragon Gate. At that point, all members of Dragon Gate will return to headquarters to participate in the high-stakes competition!"

Lu Wenrou's status in Dragon Gate might not be high, but she had a father who was a general, so naturally, her treatment wasn't quite the same as others, catching significant attention from a few big shots in Dragon Gate.

She was often the first to know some inside information.

"Martial arts society from the island country? Do they even have experts? Who gave them the courage to measure up against Dragon Gate?"

Shen Yubai couldn't help but make a sarcastic comment.

"There are experts, it is said that they've cultivated the 'mental methods' that were transmitted during the Tang Dynasty, combined with their own improvements, which led to their rapid progress in martial arts in recent years. They can't suppress us from other angles, so they intend to give us some trouble by using martial arts exchanges as an excuse!"

Being from Dragon Gate, Lu Wenrou certainly knew some secrets not known to the public.

"That's true. When I was in the East Sea, an expert from the island country showed up, and he was indeed very formidable!"

Qin Yu nodded in agreement.

Yan Mingyu was going to Capital City to find her aunt, and Dragon Gate was going to have a martial arts exchange with the island country next month. So, he decided to go to Capital City with Yan Mingyu at that time.

Thinking of this, Qin Yu looked at Lu Wenrou and said, "I'll definitely have time next month!"

"Great, after I get back to Jinling, I'll deal with the things at hand, then head to Capital City. Give me a call when you get there!"

Lu Wenrou nodded her head.

"Brother Qin, when you come to Capital City, please find some time to visit our Shen Family. My family is looking forward to meeting you!"

Shen Yubai spoke eagerly.

"Sure, I'll drop by if I have the time."

Qin Yu didn't give a definite response. Shen Yubai seemed like a decent person, but what about his parents?

Unless necessary, he was not keen on getting too close with these major families.

"Then let's get ready for lunch! Miss Lu, where is your cousin?"

Shen Yubai really wasn't sure if he should invite Ou Changfeng to join them for lunch. He felt that the man was prickly and difficult to get along with.

"Don't worry about him. I'll just bring him a lunch later!"

Lu Wenrou didn't seem inclined to call Ou Changfeng down for lunch either.

"Alright, then this meal's on us!"

Shen Yubai gestured invitingly and led the group into the hall.

In the afternoon.

After having lunch with Yuan Tiangang and his entourage, Helian Wudi arranged for them to rest at the hotel. He had his subordinates drive him back to the villa.

He glanced at Murong Qingcheng's room and then walked towards the study with his hands clasped behind his back.

"Knock, knock!"

"Mr. Helian..."

Murong Qingcheng brewed a cup of tea right on the heels of Helian Wudi's arrival and knocked on the door to the study.

"Come in!"

Helian Wudi glanced at Murong Qingcheng and continued speaking into the phone, "There were no survivors, right? What's there to worry about? Let's do this: tonight, everyone can come to my estate in the suburbs, Cloudy Winds Villa, and we can discuss this in detail!"

Then he hung up the phone, put it on the desk, and looked at Murong Qingcheng with a smile, saying, "I have some things to discuss tonight. Come with me to Cloudy Winds Villa!"

"Okay, sure..."

Murong Qingcheng's hands trembled slightly as she placed the tea cup on the desk, "I brought you some tea. Drink it while it's hot!"
