With a loud crash, the plates and bowls on the table were knocked over and shattered all over the floor.

The people in the Lu family who were eating were startled and looked at Lu Xingchen.

The young man's black pupils were wide open, staring at the fish soup in front of him.

"Xingchen, what's wrong?" Mother Lu followed his gaze and looked at the fish soup.

"Is it not to your liking? Otherwise, can you ask the chef to make a new soup?"

As soon as these words were spoken, someone became unhappy and put down his chopsticks with a snap.

"The Lu family is almost finished, why are you still being so hypocritical?"

The person being talked about is Lu Xingchen's cousin, Lu Yunsheng's wife Li Baimeng.

"Why offend Yuan Shenghe when you can offend anyone else? He can kill you with just a flick of his finger."

It was true that everyone in the Lu family needed to rely on Lu Xingchen before, but that was when he was capable. Now the Lu family is almost destroyed by him, and no one supports him anymore.

"Okay, let's eat." Mrs. Lu, Lu Xingchen's aunt, spoke.

Li Baimeng rolled his eyes at Lu Xingchen and said nothing more.

Lu Xingchen's lowered eyes were gloomy and terrifying, but he didn't have the heart to care about the people in the Lu family at the moment.

He couldn't understand why the favorability between Han Shiming and Han Song had dropped again.

Han Shiming's favorability towards him is less than 30.

They haven't had much contact in the past few days.

Lu Xingchen sent him messages several times, but he always got the response that he was busy.

He no longer had high expectations for Han Shiming.

On the contrary, it was Han Song. It was obvious that when they met the day before yesterday, Han Song's favorability towards him increased by two points.

Now it has suddenly dropped another five points. Something must have happened.

Their closest connection is the antique in Ji Yu's hands.

It had been a while since the incident at the Blue Blood Club, and he thought nothing would happen. Plus, Han Song was difficult to deal with, and he was afraid of this man, so he revealed the news to him.

Now it seems that he ended up losing the rice instead of the chicken.

It will probably be even more difficult to improve Han Song's favorability in the future.

If he allowed this situation to continue, he might soon go back to being the person who used to hide in his hospital bed.

He must not become a vegetable again!

Thinking of this, he made a decision in his heart.

A few days later, in a cafe in the afternoon.

The wind chimes on the door made a clear and pleasant sound as the door was pushed open.

"Am I late? I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Lu Xingchen sat in front of the blond and blue-eyed Andrew with an apologetic look on his face.

"No, you are not late, I am early." Andrew behaved elegantly and gracefully.

Many people in the cafe looked at him from time to time.

Foreigners are not uncommon in Beijing, but there are fewer who are as handsome and elegant as Andrew.

The waiter came over with the menu and Lu Xingchen ordered a latte.

"Please give me two packets of sugar, thank you."

"Ok."

Andrew picked up the black coffee and took a sip. He caught a glimpse of the young man opposite him. He was quite cute and had a good appearance, but his skin seemed to be a little worse than a few days ago.

He remembered the investigation results the driver mentioned yesterday.

Lu Xingchen is a member of the Lu family. The Lu family used to be a famous family in the capital. Later, the head of the family died in a car accident, and then the family gradually declined.

But a lean camel still has strength. It is said that he has been doing well in the past year, getting a big project and his uncle is a high-ranking official.

Andrew was very satisfied, thinking that the other party might be able to help him.

"I called you out this time because I want to ask you for help with something."

"You said, if I can help, I will definitely help."

The waiter brought the prepared coffee.

Lu Xingchen picked it up and took a sip, then looked bitter, as if to say, 'It's so bitter, why is it still so bitter even after adding two packets of sugar'.

"Hey, I'm really not suited to hardship."

In the past, other people would think he was cute like this.

But he forgot that he is no longer the same person he was before the cruise. Andrew is still a foreigner and does not understand Chinese memes.

And Andrew only likes to drink espresso black coffee, so he can't understand the thoughts of people who like to drink sweet coffee.

Lu Xingchen had been observing Andrew out of the corner of his eye, and when he noticed that he had no reaction to his behavior, his heart sank.

It seems that Andrew is not easy to conquer. He reminds himself to take it slow and not be impatient, because impatient people cannot eat hot tofu.

"I wonder what favor Andrew wants me to do for you?" He took the initiative to get to the point.

"I'd like you to help me check someone," said Andrew.

"This person is the nephew of a major shareholder of my company and has inherited the major shareholder's estate. I want to find him, but I only know that he is in Beijing and I can't find out where he is."

Lu Xingchen held the coffee in his hands, warming them, and said, "Then do you know the name of the major shareholder's nephew?"

"It seems to be called Ji Yu."

I almost dropped the coffee in my hand, and although I didn't, a drop or two still splashed on the back of my hand.

Lu Xingchen gasped and quickly put the coffee down and wiped off the spilled area.

The skin turned red in two spots instantly, but fortunately the skin was not broken.

Andrew saw his big reaction, but asked: "Do you know him?"

Lu Xingchen forced himself to smile, but his mood hit rock bottom.

How come the man he met casually on the street was also related to Ji Yu.

There may be a possibility of duplication of names, but there is no possibility of inheritance.

It turns out that what Ji Yu said before about inheriting a huge fortune was actually true.

"I have heard of him. Can I ask him about the status of his inheritance? If you think it's intrusive, just pretend I didn't ask."

Andrew explained: "Of course, it's no secret."

In order to let Lu Xingchen understand more intuitively, he started directly from the beginning when Xiao Xueman founded Huaguang Beauty and ended when she died of cancer.

Xiao Xueman had pancreatic cancer, which was already in the advanced stage when it was discovered. It took only more than half a year from the time of diagnosis to her death.

"Xiao Xueman was not married. She only had a boyfriend at the time, but they broke up after she was diagnosed with cancer. She then made a will, leaving all her property after her death to her sister's family. If they were gone, the estate would go to her nephew."

Lu Xingchen was extremely jealous.

He had heard of the name of Huaguang Beauty, a foreign high-end cosmetics company with a market value of several billion US dollars.

Ji Yu was so lucky that he actually got rich unexpectedly.

He is obviously the protagonist, why is Ji Yu more like the protagonist than him?

The plot in his mind clearly did not mention the character Ji Yu.

wrong.

He paused suddenly.

There is indeed no such person as Ji Yu, but it seems that a person with the surname Ji appeared. Could it be that because of his appearance, a butterfly effect occurred, causing the person who appeared to become Ji Yu?

Lu Xingchen tried hard to recall the plot of the novel, wanting to find the person with the surname Ji, but he might be a minor figure and he couldn't remember him.

The other person played very little role in the novel, so little that he had never even noticed the existence of this character, let alone knew his story.

"Andrew, did you go to Ji Yu's hometown to investigate and fail to find him, so you came to the capital?"

Andrew nodded: "Yes, I sent people to his hometown to look for him, but I heard that he no longer lives in that town."

Lu Xingchen thought for a while before asking, "Do you know if there are any other relatives besides him and his parents? What are the names of those relatives?"
