Chapter 704: Su Yan’s Invitation

However, things didn’t go as planned. They didn’t know what kind of abnormally difficult situation Su Qing and Huo Qi were going to face next.
It seemed that things in this world were always like this. Just when we feel that everything is about to have a satisfactory ending, we would be caught off guard as some extremely difficult situations would be created, and painful choices would have to be made. It seemed that only by doing this a few more times could one really be considered to have lived a magnificent life!
At noon on this day, Su Lu carried his briefcase and hurriedly walked into a restaurant. When he saw Yan Xi and Long Ting at the dining table, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he quickly explained, “I’m sorry, Yan Xi and Long Ting! I was indeed too busy this morning! I’m late, so I’ll treat you to this meal as an apology!”
Su Lu apologized and casually placed his things on the chair. When he looked up at Yan Xi again, he realized that today’s lunch didn’t seem to be just a gathering of friends.
He looked at Yan Bei and the girl beside him. The smile in his eyes was slightly restrained, so little that no one else noticed. He chuckled in confusion and asked, “Why is Yan Bei here too? And this is?”
Yan Xi looked at his good friend, who he hadn’t seen in a long time, and patted Su Lu’s shoulder gently. He explained with a smile, “This is Yan Bei’s friend. Her surname is Yan, and her name is Xing. We all call her Teacher Yan. She’s a
piano teacher from overseas. She’s been working with Yan Bei on a song recently!”
As Yan Xi spoke, he turned to look at Yan Xing, who was beside Yan Bei. It was also the adopted daughter who had been abandoned by the Su family—Su Yan!
“Teacher Yan Xing, this is the third brother of Sixth Miss Su, Third Young
Master Su Lu! The only helper I’m talking about is him!
Actually, when Su Lu saw this woman called Yan Xing, he had a strange feeling.
He felt that this person seemed familiar, as though he had seen her somewhere before. He looked at Yan Xing calmly for a long time. It was only when Yan Xing stood up and raised her hand before smiling at him that Su Lu completely came back to his senses.
Su Yan looked at Su Lu and smiled very appropriately. She stood up and raised her hand, looking at the very familiar but very unfamiliar person in front of her. She pretended to smile faintly and said, “Hello, Third Young Master Su! It’s our first time meeting. Please guide me along the way!”
When Su Yan looked at Su Lu deeply with her eyes, Su Lu was also observing her.
Su Yan raised her right hand slightly and waited for Su Lu to shake her hand for a long time. However, Su Lu seemed to be stunned and didn’t react for a long time. The atmosphere became a little strange and subtle!
Just as Yan Xi and Long Ting realized this subtlety and were about to speak to ease the strange atmosphere, Su Lu suddenly stood up. He reached out and shook Su Yan’s hand weakly, then let go very quickly. Almost as soon as he touched it, he immediately retracted his hand. This very restrained and distant action didn’t stop him from asking Su Yan, “Hello! I feel that Miss Yan Xing is very familiar. Have we met somewhere before?”
Su Yan’s heart skipped a beat, but she smiled casually. She retracted her hand and replied casually, “Is this Third Young Master’s daily way of hitting on beauties? So old-fashioned? Is this what you say to everyone you meet? Hahaha! Please don’t mind me, Third Young Master. I just wanted to joke to ease the atmosphere because you’re so reserved! I grew up in Country Y, so how could we have met before? This is also my first time in B City!”
As Su Yan spoke, she turned to look at Yan Bei, who was beside her, and continued, “Since everyone is here, I’ll get straight to the point and explain my intentions! The reason why I asked Brother Yan Xi for help today and invited Third Young Master here is actually because our orchestra wants to invite Su Qing to participate in the two-person piano competition jointly organized by
Namphan and Country T!”
