Before he came, Lin Rongping didn't think there was anything wrong with the banquet venue.

But after he left, Lin Rongping always felt that something was missing in the banquet hall.

It is like a magnificent temple dedicated to gods without the statues of gods. Everything becomes dim and all the luxury and extravagance are inferior.

Even if he had followed Lu Yu back to her home to meet her elders, the one in charge of the Lu family...

I have never felt such a strong aura of a superior.

Fu Linzhou had no intention of causing disappointment to everyone present, but he did it.

That was the second time he felt the class gap coming at him.

The first time was when she returned home with Lu Yu and met her father.

The second time was on that birthday, when I met Fu Linzhou.

It is a distance that cannot be bridged even if you possess far more wealth and power than the other person.

It is a kind of heritage and cultivation that has been passed down from generation to generation by the nobility.

This is a gap that children from poor families like them cannot bridge no matter how hard they work or how much money they use.

This was the second time Lin Rongping met Fu Linzhou, and also the first time they met in private.

He didn't even notice that when he entered the coffee shop and saw Fu Linzhou sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window drinking coffee, his breathing had uncontrollably become lighter and slower.

He was led to the coffee table.

"Hello, Mr. Fu, I'm Lin Rongping from the Lin Group."

Fu Linzhou's bony hands rested lightly on the edge of the coffee cup. His beautiful white hands picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee.

The sunlight poured in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, shining brightly on him.

Fu Linzhou's skin is very white, the kind that is a bit close to the whiteness of Westerners.

This made him look even younger, but his dark eyes, as deep as the sea, contained experience and majesty that Lin Rongping dared not ignore.

The sun was shining brightly, but Lin Rongping suddenly felt a chill rising from under his feet.

Fu Linzhou didn't ask him to sit down, so he didn't dare to sit down or move. In fact, his legs were already a little stiff from being too tense.

Time passes little by little.

Lin Rongping's forehead was covered with sweat, and his mind went blank due to excessive tension.

Before coming, he had thought about it countless times, thinking about how to show Fu Linzhou the wisdom and composure that a self-made entrepreneur should have.

But at this moment, all he wanted was to escape.

Fu Linzhou slowly put down his coffee cup and glanced at him: "Mr. Lin."

His voice can even be considered gentle, low and pleasant, like the magnetic and low bass on the piano, and also like a mixture of some mid- and high-pitched sounds, clean and warm.

Very contradictory.

Just like Lin Rongping’s mood at the moment.

Being called suddenly, his scalp tightened, and he nodded slightly and lowered his head: "Yes..."

Fu Linzhou smiled: "I just came to ask you a few questions, there's no need to be so reserved."

It sounded like he was comforting her, but he never let Lin Rongping sit down.

The cafe was quiet, with no other customers.

But because of Fu Linzhou's presence, the coffee shop didn't feel deserted.

Instead, there is a paradoxical feeling that the temple is too small to accommodate the Buddha.

The environment of this coffee shop is quite good, but it still doesn't seem like a place where someone like Fu Linzhou would come.

Lin Rongping was somewhat relieved that there was no one in the coffee shop at the moment, and no one could see his embarrassment in front of a junior.

Fu Linzhou put down the small spoon he was stirring his coffee with, and his dark eyes fell on Lin Rongping: "When Zhizhi came back last night, her face was swollen. Does Mr. Lin know what happened?"

Lin Rongping was so horrified that he almost knelt down on the spot.

He never thought that the other party came for Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi filed a complaint?

But...how could Lu Zhi possibly convince someone like that person to show up just for her?

A good-for-nothing with no prospects or future, a high school graduate who spent three years in jail for manslaughter.

It can't be because... on his birthday, Lu Zhi slapped him, just like in those childish and ridiculous soap operas, making Fu Linzhou look at this Cinderella differently?

When Lin Rongping recalled Lu Zhi's face, he felt physiological nausea and disgust in his chest.

A face that looked almost 80% like her mother's, so disgusting that it made people want to burn it with a cigarette butt.

Not even half as pretty as his Zhier.

He quickly dismissed the idea that Fu Linzhou was attracted to Lu Zhi and said anxiously, "I wonder if she told you something after she returned?"

He asked back boldly.

Fu Linzhou's gaze fell on him lightly, without any weight.

But Lin Rongping's knees softened uncontrollably, and he knelt down in front of him: "I'm sorry, Mr. Fu..."

Fu Linzhou didn't react at all to his sudden kneeling.

Lin Rongping turned pale with fright, and suddenly recalled what his two assistants said in the car.

kill……

He was kneeling with his head lowered, so he could only see the black leather shoes on Fu Linzhou's feet.

The leather shoes have no trademarks and the materials and workmanship are excellent.

Only those who are extremely confident and self-assured will not bother to reveal the product trademark when wearing expensive clothes and let others know the price.

The air was filled with the warm aroma of coffee and a faint hint of ambergris.

It didn't smell like ambergris either, it seemed more advanced and profound than any other ambergris he had ever smelled.

Lin Rongping became even more nervous.

Whether it was the smell or the luxurious sight he caught from the corner of his eye, they all reminded him abruptly that the person sitting in front of him was someone he would never be able to reach in his lifetime.

This is someone he cannot afford to offend, even if he dies.

After a long while, Fu Linzhou's voice sounded again above his head: "Zhizhi is stubborn. No matter how I ask her, she refuses to speak. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here today."

Lin Rongping secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Being willing to speak up means there is still room for communication.

He quickly lowered his head in repentance: "It's me... Zhizhi is my daughter. I always want the best for her. I'm afraid she might go astray, so my words were a bit harsh when I was teaching her. I'm sorry..."

"That's it..."

Fu Linzhou's slender fingers tapped the table intermittently.

Lin Rongping was so frightened that he dared not breathe, and was not sure whether his bet was right.

He swallowed nervously and licked his dry lips. "Yes, that's right. She's my daughter, and I was worried about her, so I acted too aggressively. There's no father in the world who doesn't love his children. I'm really sorry if I offended you..."

There was silence above again.

The silence was excruciating.

He could hear the hustle and bustle of traffic outside and the occasional noise of people passing by.

The shops across the street were packed with people.

They were all attracted by Fu Linzhou's appearance and did not dare to take pictures openly, so they could only take pictures secretly hiding by the windows of the shops opposite.

When he thought about so many people taking pictures secretly, Lin Rongping started to feel restless again.

Fu Linzhou seemed oblivious and continued, "Is that so? Then how did you get so extreme? Can you show me?"

His attitude in asking was even quite gentlemanly.

Lin Rongping's already pale face became even uglier.

He understood what Fu Linzhou meant.

My breathing started to quicken.

Lin Rongping finally understood that Fu Linzhou called him here today just to give Lu Zhi a fight.

But he had no room to resist, nor did he dare to resist.

Lin Rongping took a deep breath and squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Okay..."

He slowly raised his hand, swallowed, tried his best to ignore the girls who were taking pictures opposite, and slapped himself hard in the face.

Also destroyed was the dignity he had finally regained over the years.

"Just a slap, how could Zhizhi's face swell up like that?" Fu Linzhou said in a light tone, as if he was puzzled.

Lin Rongping gritted his teeth and slapped himself a few times.

Until his face was swollen, much more serious than Lu Zhi's condition last night, even the corners of his mouth were completely swollen and bleeding.

Fu Linzhou slowly withdrew his gaze and stirred the coffee in the cup: "I hope Mr. Lin can understand better."

Lin Rongping secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then stopped slapping people in the face and lowered his head to listen to the lecture humbly.

Fu Linzhou: "I have taken over her disciplinary work."

What this means is that not only Lin Rongping, but no one else is qualified to interfere in Lu Zhi's affairs in the name of relatives or elders.
