Chapter 433: Chapter 417 Fleeing in Defeat

Shitou leaned in close to Lu Yun’s ear and whispered a few words. Lu Yun blinked her eyes, wrapped her arm around Shitou, and kissed him as she praised, "You’re really so cunning, huh, but I like that."

Seeing Lu Yun happy, Shitou also felt good, his lips curling into a smile, "If I don’t teach her a small lesson, she really won’t know the immensity of heaven and earth."

The two exchanged a few more jokes and chuckles before getting up and heading inside.

"It really is you, Lu Yun."

As soon as Lu Yun and Shitou entered the room, they saw Chen Qiuyu walking over with surprise on her face, reaching out to grab Lu Yun’s hand. Next to her was Ding Gaoqun, leering at Lu Yun with covetous eyes, obviously disregarding the presence of Shitou and Chen Qiuyu.

"Beauty, I heard you’re from the same hometown as my wife, right? Hahaha, it’s such fate that we meet over such distances, let me get to know you, let your brother here take you for a spin—"

Ding Gaoqun, thinking himself suave, ran his hand through his hair and threw a suggestive glance at Lu Yun, his intent to flirt unmistakably clear, completely ignoring Shitou and Chen Qiuyu at the scene.

Lu Yun’s eyebrows knitted slightly as she stepped aside to avoid Chen Qiuyu’s hand, then gave Ding Gaoqun a look of extreme distaste.

Shitou’s face turned dark in an instant. He was audacious indeed, to openly make a move on his wife right before his eyes? If it weren’t for the fact that they were at Gu Meng’s wedding banquet, he would have beaten this Ding Gaoqun into a pig’s head right there and then to teach him not everyone can be trifled with.

But it wasn’t the right occasion, so once they were out of this place—

Shitou flashed a dangerous smile at Ding Gaoqun, though the smile didn’t reach his eyes. How could this kind of person learn to behave if he wasn’t given a lesson he’d never forget?

With that thought, Shitou didn’t give Ding Gaoqun any more chances to look at Lu Yun. He stepped forward to block Ding Gaoqun’s view, his aura subtly expanding as he leaned in and ominously whispered into his ear, "Your bond seems even greater with your two deceased wives who died unnatural deaths, do you want to meet them sooner—"

"How do you know about that?" Ding Gaoqun shuddered all over, retreating in fear, trembling as he stared at Shitou, unsure if he was frightened by Shitou’s aura or his words. At that moment, to his eyes, Shitou seemed to have transformed into a different person, exuding a dangerously intense aura.

If Shitou had always been this intimidating, not even a hundred guts would embolden him to provoke him, Ding Gaoqun’s teeth chattered, "Who... who exactly are you?"

"You’re not worthy to know who I am. If you have any sense, just get lost—now." Shitou’s cultivation of spiritual power had already broken through level forty, and his physical art had reached level thirty-something. His aura had long reached a realm where he could release and withdraw it at will.

Thus, he purposely kept a low profile earlier, completely concealing his aura, so that he appeared no different from an ordinary person without any martial strength. Even in this moment with Ding Gaoqun, he was still holding back significantly, otherwise Ding Gaoqun might have been scared into incontinence right on the spot.

Even so, when that word "get lost" exploded in Ding Gaoqun’s mind, his legs went weak, and without even taking time to greet Chen Qiuyu, he scrambled out of there alone, tripping over himself in his haste to flee. He didn’t dare harbor a single thought of revenge in his heart, nor did he care that the banquet hadn’t come to an end yet.

"Lu Yun, you forgot? I’m Chen Qiuyu, the Chen Qiuyu from Yushu Village. We played together when we were kids."

Chen Qiuyu looked at Lu Yun pleadingly. Using her body to shield their interaction, she slightly revealed something in the palm of her hand to Lu Yun, then persistently tried to grab Lu Yun’s hand and stuff that thing into it. After doing so, she hurriedly followed behind Ding Gaoqun and quickly walked away.

This time, Lu Yun didn’t avoid Chen Qiuyu’s hand—she wanted to see what Chen Qiuyu was up to.

But before she could open the paper ball in her hand, the incident caught the attention of everyone around. Although it only lasted a brief moment and Shitou tried to keep it low-key, unfortunately Ding Gaoqun’s arrogant arrival and his jittery departure, as if he had seen a ghost, still drew everybody’s interest.

With the commotion, and it being related to Shitou and Lu Yun, naturally people like Lu Aiguo couldn’t help but notice. So quickly, Xia Yuan, Lu Jinsheng with Pei Yi, today’s protagonists Gu Meng and his bride, Gu Tianming and Xia Na, as well as the bridesmaids, groomsmen, and others, all gathered around.

The voices of concern were incessant.

Soon, Shitou and Lu Yun became the center of attention, and everyone started inquiring about their true identities. Lu Yun and Shitou had never deliberately concealed their identities, so there were quite a few people in the know.

"You don’t know them? They are the daughter and son-in-law of Lu Group’s Lu Aiguo."

"Ah, Lu Aiguo’s son-in-law, isn’t it said that he’s from an extraordinary background and is also very capable? At such a young age, he’s already a senior colonel in the military, isn’t he? How come he’s so low-key?"

"What do you know? It’s the same reason real rich people keep a low profile. Those who are genuinely high-status with deep roots don’t bother to show off. Just look at Lu Aiguo, have you ever seen him flaunting anything? ’An empty vessel makes the most noise,’ you know that, right?"

...

In a corner, three women stood there, listening to the surrounding discussions. Meili’s gaze towards the couple who she had insulted to their faces as "country bumpkins" was complex. Suddenly, her face turned alternately red and pale before becoming extraordinarily ashen.

Beside her, Ye Man and Yang Yun were also craning their necks to look at Lu Yun and Shitou. Ye Man joked with Yang Yun, "This trip was really worth it. I say, Yang Yun, you finally get to see our ’grassy-crowned princess.’ Come on, tell me, how does it feel compared to you, who doesn’t have grass on her head?"

"How can I compare? You still dare to tease me? Didn’t you say reincarnation is an art? Clearly, I’m not skilled enough," Yang Yun lamented as she glanced in the direction of Lu Yun and Shitou and then turned to glare at Ye Man.

"No, I can’t take it anymore, when I hadn’t seen them in person, I could still comfort myself. But now that I’ve seen the real deal, I’m too devastated. Not only can’t I compare in terms of background, but even my looks and demeanor are no match... Wah, it’s too much to bear. I need to eat some delicious food—barbecue, steak, cake, seafood, I want it all—I have to properly comfort my wounded little soul..."

"Pfft, how old are you and you still have a ’little’ wounded soul?" Ye Man was thankful she wasn’t drinking anything, otherwise she would have definitely spat it out then and there.

She helplessly shook her head at Yang Yun, but she was still happy that Yang Yun had come to accept the situation. After all, it wasn’t easy to attend this wedding banquet. If they weren’t secretaries in the General Manager’s office, and just ordinary employees, they would have had no chance to be at such an event.
