Chapter 379: Crossing Swords
Mada Lu turned around with an exceedingly ugly expression. Qin Yining’s disgusting face was the first thing she saw.
“Why are you here!?”
The Qin fourth miss smiled faintly. “Our family bought a manor and I’m finishing the transaction today with the original owner. Why has big sister Lu barged in with so many people and is speaking so rudely to my father?”
The girl’s beautiful eyes shifted to Lu Heng at this point. “Do the Lus have a misunderstanding with my clan?”
The Qin fourth miss was blatantly accusing the Lus of playing the Qins! They were the ones who’d issued an invitation to Qin Huaiyuan. The Qin patriarch had accepted and graciously reserved an entire restaurant floor for the occasion. And in the end, Mada Lu was starting this kind of ss?
If the Lus had arranged for all of this beforehand, then they ant to grind Qin dignity into the dirt and bury it in the mud.
Such simple logic was obvious to Lu Heng, Mada Lu, and those watching downstairs.
The mada snapped back lividly, “Don’t you dare talk nonsense! What kind of misunderstanding would the Lus possibly have with the Qins!?”
“No misunderstanding?” The girl’s expression froze over. “Then that ans big sister Lu’s done all this on purpose. What grudge or feud does my family possibly have with big sister Lu for you to offend my father in this way??”
A beauty to begin with, twin flas of outrage ignited in Qin Yining’s eyes. Her intensely bright eyes vanquished all those she looked upon, compelling Lu Heng to slowly walk down the stairs in spite of himself.
Previously the epito of warm jade, her beauty had morphed into a suprely combative projection. The change stoked envy, hatred, and fury in Mada Lu.
I wouldn’t lose to her at all if I was ten years younger!
“You don’t need to clap such a large cri on . I have no grudge or feud with Master Qin, why would I purposefully offend him?”
“Then what are you here for? Are you out for a stroll with your n and happened to pass by?”
“You!” How would Mada Lu not make out the sarcasm in the wench’s tones?
But with how things were now, just what could she say in her own defense? Admit in front of the Qin father and daughter duo that she’d co to prevent Qin Yining and Lu Dehan from signing the contract? She could hardly confess that she was here to teach Qin Yining a lesson!
The mada wouldn’t be afraid of anything if it was only her and the girl, but Lu Heng and Qin Huaiyuan were both here! She’d even said so much she shouldn’t have before realizing Qin Huaiyuan was upstairs... She’d even told her n to do whatever they wanted to the third floor occupants! That the Lus would have their back if there were any consequences!!
The look her cousin was giving her now inspired the beginnings of a migraine and her body to turn clammy with fear. It’d never been her place to make decisions for the clan!
As Mada Lu fell speechless, Lu Heng took a position three steps away from Qin Yining and bowed. “Miss Qin, we et again.”
“Sir Lu.” The Qin fourth miss bent her knee to return the gesture.
The Lu second master smiled back at the girl, his gaze three parts contemplation, three parts admiration, and four parts complete understanding.
He was well aware of Mada Lu’s character. Though arrogance was her secondary na and she very much lacked brains, she would’ve never done all this had she known he and Qin Huaiyuan were upstairs.
Therefore, Lu Heng was quite assured that she’d received so sort of news today and misunderstood that Qin Yining was upstairs. That had emboldened her earlier actions and given rise to everything.
Mada Lu’s stupefied astonishnt at seeing the Qin fourth miss earlier had been evident. It was blatantly incredulous to her that the girl would appear here.
How much of this had been the Qin fourth miss’s planning, and how much manipulation?
Lu Heng didn’t believe in the slightest that the girl had just so happened to be eting with soone else here. It was even less plausible that her guards were all so useless as to be unable to stop the charge of Mada Lu’s n.
Surely his cousin knew everything by now and how she’d been set up by the younger girl, just like his speculations were running their course.
Such an obvious trap openly suppressed Lu Heng’s own plans of estrangent between the emperor and Qin Huaiyuan. It also struck back at Mada Lu, who’d offended Qin Yining a while back.
Was this Qin Huaiyuan’s plan? After all, he was hailed as Wise Pan An.
Or was it this exceedingly beautiful girl’s plotting?
Lu Heng was more inclined to believe the latter.
If the Qin fourth miss had nothing to do with all this, she wouldn’t be standing here now or pop out to talk to Mada Lu.
Qin Yining appeared to possess a lofty spirit and despised acting behind soone’s back. She would only openly stomp down on an obstacle like them.
It was even more so a forthright declaration that she fully perceived Mada Lu’s obstinate arrogance toward the Qin manor and his machinations between the emperor and Qin Huaiyuan. She would strike straight back at them and have them knowingly suffer for their efforts!
Such beauty, such rarity, such intelligence, and such bearing! I’ve never seen anyone such as her.
A ticklish and tingling sensation filled him—like soone had brushed his heart with a feather. Though his plans lay in ruins, an inexplicable delight filled his heart.
