Chapter 422 - Out of Character

"..."

A long silence followed as if someone pressed a pause button.

Linfeng did not know how to react.

He wanted to applause for his Young Miss' sharp tongue and courage to snap back at this mysterious man surnamed Lu. At the same time, he wanted to pat her head for doing a good job in delivering a clean hit. There was also a bit of a helpless feeling because the way she talked to the other man… was not exactly polite either.

"Heh."

"..."

Linfeng, Xiong Zhi, and Mr. Kang looked towards the source with varying expressions of surprise, but the receiver of their looks was an expressionless man who simply stared back at them.

His cold eyes finally gave out a hint of confusion, seemingly asking, 'What?'

The other three wondered if perhaps they had heard it wrong.

Lu Jin's face was the same as always.

The abrupt and almost indiscernible laugh was practically like an illusion. And yet, that sound was very apparent in the silence earlier.

The icy cold man focused his eyes on Xiong Zhi. "My apologies if my manners seem lacking to you. However, I think you two should be the least ones who can tell me that. Since throughout the banquet, the two of you were clearly lacking in decency."

He then glanced sideways at Linfeng. "A mere butler flirting with his Young Miss in public, what a lack of morality this butler has."

Linfeng: He really did not forget to specifically bite at him, did he?

He was about to reply when the woman beside him who was totally ticked off replied faster than him.

"That's only a normal act between lovers. We've done it discreetly and no one called us out. It is strange how it is only you who noticed that, unless you have been watching us," Xiong Zhi coldly shot back.?"I didn't know that the first young master, the 'black sheep' of the Lu family, is such a stalker."

Mr. Kang frowned, feeling incensed at the words.

This woman's mouth was crude. No one dared to talk to his master like that and live for a day longer!

Surprisingly, Lu Jin did not take offense of her words. He was more concerned of another matter.

'Lovers? The young miss of the Xiong family is this steadfast about her relationship with this butler?'

Lu Jin was out of the country in the past years, however, he had eyes here in the country.

He was always updated of the major events happening in the four families. Also, with Guan Gao Huan's constant update about his mission, he knew that relationship between this master and butler pair was not pure like others.

But he did not expect that this woman would be so earnest in their relationship that she did not even bother to hide it from him.

'Are they really prepared to come out clean in public?'

Lu Jin glanced at Linfeng to see his reaction.

The butler had a calm face, although his eyes seemed softer and had a glint of amus.e.m.e.nt.

Lu Jin internally frowned.

He really did not like this Linfeng for a certain reason.

It seemed like Guan Gao Huan and his brother would not stand a chance in breaking up this couple.

Lu Jin gave them a final glance before quietly leaving.

Mr. Kang was dazed for a couple of seconds and then he followed suit.

Inwardly, he was thinking, 'Boss! Aren't you going to retaliate? Don't just leave in silence!'

The pair who was ready to fight but was suddenly left behind: "...."

When the man who appeared out of the blue to annoy them left so suddenly like that, it left the couple speechless.

It was like punching hard on soft cotton, totally anticlimactic.

"Was he scared off?" After a long silence, Xiong Zhi asked in confusion.

She tried hard to think about the man's purpose, but she just could not fathom what it was.

It was unlikely for Lu Yin Ze to tell this guy anything. Not to mention, this man was Lu Yin Ze's enemy, so it was unlikely that Lu Jin approached her to avenge his little brother's heartbreak, right?

However, she had felt like he was prepared to exchange sharp words with her all night, so she did not expect that he would leave so simply after being blown by only two hits.

Linfeng recovered as well and nodded. "My Young Miss is so formidable and merciless. Who will not be scared to go against you?"

Xiong Zhi threw him a sideway glance. 'I know you are overly praising me. But since it was you, I will take this little segment as my win.'

She put her hands on her waist and raised her chin. "Of course, he should think twice before bullying my Linfeng." Forget it, she did not know what was up with that mysterious annoying man, and he already left. It was pointless to think more.

She would simply investigate later.

Linfeng clapped his hands and showered praises as they walked forward to their car. However, deep inside, he continued speculating as to why the mysterious Lu Jin suddenly approached them.

It was unlikely to be mere curiosity.

With a doting smile on his face, his eyes flashed darkly.

It looked like he would be busy in the upcoming days.

On the night road illuminated by streetlights, a lone car smoothly sped forward.

Inside the car, the passing streetlights appeared like stars streaking by, faintly illuminating the dark interior with flashing lights.

Mr. Kang glanced at his boss sitting at the backseat with complex emotion through the rearview mirror.

Tonight was surely special.

His quiet boss who always expressionless and cold acted out of his character, contrary to how he usually behaved.

First, his uncongenial boss attended a merry banquet that had nothing to do with him. Second, he volunteered to escort Mistress Tang. He understood that his boss might have done it out of courtesy to respect the elder as a junior. But this was his boss—Lu Jin!

His boss would never have done something like that.

Filial piety, respect to elderly… His boss would normally not bat an eyelid to these. Lu Jin even went against his grandfather—the head of the legendary Lu family.

Not only that, what was up with his boss initiating a war of qigong with a mere butler?!

Furthermore, he deliberately met up with them at the parking lot. And for what? Just for the sake of belittling that butler!

Yes, his boss was so obvious with this intention that he could tell it clearly.

Mr. Kang secretly glanced up again at his boss Lu Jin. Since he had been working under him for a long time, he knew what the boss meant to do by just a mere glance.

He obtained this skill after many experiences, because he needed to give all his attention to the every action of his boss in order to better serve him.

Who told him to have a boss who treasured his words as if they were priceless treasures? Hearing more than a hundred words today, he could tell that majority of those words was to disparage a certain man—that butler with strong qigong.
