Of course, Lu Jingyu didn't really come to see antiques. He used his connections to get the invitation letter from Qingyuan City.

This time I came here to make some connections and raise some funds.

Because of He Jiaojiao's incident, his family has cut off his funding chain.

The company originally relied on family support. Once the funding chain was broken, the entire company was almost paralyzed. He is now in urgent need of capital injection.

The two originally thought that Mu Sheng and Lu's mother had revealed the news that they were together, so when they saw her this time, they all looked unhappy.

"Jingyu and I are here for business. Aren't you in school? Why are you here? You can't be--"

You can tell at a glance that the other person has dirty thoughts.

Mu Sheng didn't tolerate it either.

"How do you know I'm not here for business?"

"What kind of serious work can a student like you do?" He Jiaojiao said in a delicate voice.

"Go back to school and study hard. This is not the place for you. Also, stop doing such boring things. I don't know how you knew I was coming here, but this behavior will only make me dislike you more." Lu Jingyu frowned and said to the person in front of him.

They actually thought she was following them.

"Shengsheng, is this your friend?"

Li Hong and Mr. Zhao walked over, saw the people around Mu Sheng, and greeted them.

Perhaps it was because the two old men were dressed simply, or perhaps Lu Jingyu did not understand the antique industry, so he did not know much about the two old men in front of him.

"No," Mu Sheng replied directly.

"I'm not her friend."

Lu Jingyu didn't even look at the old man's outstretched hand and spoke directly.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Mr. Zhao asked Mu Sheng if he wanted to go and take a look at the side.

Mu Sheng nodded in agreement and prepared to leave with the two old men.

At noon, the exhibition arranged lunch and an auction would be held in the afternoon.

As soon as Mu Sheng and the other two sat down, a tall, gentle and pretty girl came over in high heels, holding the hand of a little boy who looked about two or three years old.

"Grandpa, I brought you the things." The woman placed the things in her hand on Mr. Zhao's desk.

"Huh? Grandpa Li is here too?"

Li Hong smiled when he saw the woman.

"Xingrou! I haven't seen you for more than two years. Look, the child has grown so big. Your grandfather is so lucky. Unlike that brat in my family, he just runs outside all day long, and his parents never see him." Old Zhao touched the little boy's face and looked at Old Man Zhao beside him with envy.

Zhao Xingrou smiled awkwardly. If she had known Grandpa Li was here, she would not have come here.

Grandpa didn't tell her that Grandpa Li was there too.

Zhao Xingrou was originally helping her grandmother deliver something to her grandfather. Now that the things were delivered, she was planning to leave, but Li Hong looked at the little boy holding Xingrou's hand and liked him so much that he hugged the little boy in his arms.

Seeing that Xingrou was about to leave, Mr. Li asked Xingrou to eat before leaving.

"No, Grandpa Li, I still have—"

Before he could finish his words, he saw his son happily eating in Mr. Li's arms.

"Let's sit down and eat together. The children are hungry."

Seeing that her grandfather was also chatting nearby, Zhao Xingrou could only find an empty seat and sit down.

It happened to be the seat next to Mu Sheng.

"By the way, this is your brother Li Li's friend."

Mr. Zhao introduced Mu Sheng to Xing Rou.

Zhao Xingrou was stunned for a moment before she forced a smile and nodded at Mu Sheng.

"Hello, I'm Zhao Xingrou."

Mu Sheng nodded in response.

There was silence between the two for a moment.

Only the two old men were talking during the whole meal. Mu Sheng was not a talkative person to begin with, and Zhao Xingrou was sitting next to him, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Mu Sheng saw that the person next to him seemed absent-minded. When the other person almost knocked over the teacup next to him, Mu Sheng quickly held up the cup.

"Thank you - thank you." Zhao Xingrou wanted to see if Mu Sheng was burned, but Mu Sheng shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

Seeing that Mu Sheng didn't say anything, Zhao Xingrou tried to speak to Mu Sheng.

"You don't look very old, are you still in school?"

"Senior" Mu Sheng uttered two words.

"You look so young! Are you Brother Li Li's girlfriend?" Zhao Xingrou asked tentatively.

Mu Sheng frowned and was about to say no when a voice came from beside him.

"Hello, Mr. Zhao, is it convenient for us to sit here?"

Zhao Xingrou looked at the two people who suddenly appeared and searched her mind, but could not find any relationship between them.

"You are?"

"I'm Lu Jingyu from the Lu family in Xuehai City. Last year, my father and I had the honor of meeting Mr. Zhao at a party abroad. I wonder if you still remember him?"

Zhao Xingrou knew about the Lu family, which was very famous in Xuehai City, but she had no impression of Lu Jingyu in front of her.

Last year, she only attended a party hosted by a friend while overseas, and the attendees were some famous local businessmen.

"Please take a seat."

Although she felt it was a bit abrupt, Zhao Xingrou still politely invited the two to sit down.

Unexpectedly, after Lu Jingyu and the other person sat down, they had no intention of eating at all, but instead started chatting idly.

Zhao Xingrou was somewhat reluctant to deal with the two of them.

Perhaps seeing what Zhao Xingrou was thinking, He Jiaojiao, who was standing by, saw Mu Sheng eating and asked Zhao Xingrou.

"Mr. Zhao and Mu Sheng are very familiar with each other?"

Zhao Xingrou glanced at He Jiaojiao, then looked at Mu Sheng who was eating nearby.

"Do you know?"

"do not know!"

"know"

One was said by Mu Sheng who was eating, and the second was He Jiaojiao's answer.

"Oh! Mu Sheng is still mad at me. Feelings don't come first, Jing Yu and I like each other."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the table put down their chopsticks and looked over here.

Mu Sheng and the little boy were not affected and ate with gusto.

"Jiaojiao, why are you talking about this?" Lu Jingyu asked with some dissatisfaction.

"Sorry, my girlfriend is clueless."

Mu Sheng looked up and heard Lu Jingyu talk about He Jiaojiao like this for the first time.

He Jiaojiao on the side did not dare to say anything in rebuttal.

"You don't need to apologize to me. The person you should apologize to is Mu Sheng." Zhao Xingrou looked indifferently in the direction of Mu Sheng.

Lu Jingyu's face looked unhappy, but he finally spoke.

"Feel sorry."

"Not accepted"

Lu Jingyu choked. He didn't expect Mu Sheng to not give him any face at all.

"Mr. Zhao, Mu Sheng and I have known each other since childhood. The child is throwing a tantrum."

"Our company has just developed a product. I wonder if Mr. Zhao is interested in it." Lu Jingyu took out a document from his bag and planned to explain it to Zhao Xingrou.

"Young man, this is an antique appreciation event. If you want to discuss business cooperation, it's better to do it outside." Mr. Zhao is a stubborn person. He believes that things should be done in the right place.

Qingyuan City organized this exhibition not for businessmen like them to discuss cooperation.

Moreover, he was somewhat displeased with Lu Jingyu.
