Feast for Shengsheng

Chapter 288 Clues

The surrounding space suddenly became quiet.

Nan Sheng couldn't guess what Lu Shiyan was going to do. She wanted to struggle, but she couldn't.

"Lu Shiyan, let me go..." Nan Sheng punched and kicked.

However, this kind of force did not cause any pain to Lu Shiyan, and the argument between the two was also seen by passers-by.

But before they could take a peek, they were stopped by the bodyguards.

Nan Sheng was cornered by Lu Shiyan and had no other options.

And Lu Shiyan's low but suppressed voice came to her ears: "I regret it."

Every word was spoken without any joking intention, and was spoken after careful consideration.

Nan Sheng looked at Lu Shiyan in astonishment. She was not moved by Lu Shiyan's words, but became more terrified.

So, Lu Shiyan regretted it, what does this mean?

Is he going to take me back to the Lu family?

Is he going to separate himself and Song Xiao?

"No--" Without thinking, Nan Sheng screamed in such fear.

This time, Nan Sheng struggled desperately to put some distance between herself and Lu Shiyan.

From the resistance in her eyes to the resistance in her body, Nan Sheng expressed her unwillingness vividly.

"You and Song Xiao are not suitable." Lu Shiyan suddenly said, "Nan Sheng, Song Xiao will only bring you trouble, not happiness. I don't want you to make mistakes at every step."

"That's my business. Even if he takes me to hell, I will go!" Nan Sheng vented her anger at Lu Shiyan without thinking.

"I don't allow it." Lu Shiyan said it clearly word by word.

Nan Sheng kept taking deep breaths, as if trying to calm her rapid emotions.

Then Nan Sheng took advantage of Lu Shiyan's inattention and suddenly bent her knees. Lu Shiyan looked at Nan Sheng in surprise.

Nan Sheng took advantage of the chaos and fled without looking back.

Lu Shiyan's face was terribly gloomy.

It's like the canary that I released, which now suddenly has grown wings and has more power to resist.

Nothing was going the way I wanted.

Perhaps he underestimated the determination of Nan Sheng and Song Xiao and overestimated Jiang Yue's influence on them.

"Mr. Lu, you have to go to the bidding site. If you don't go now, it will be too late." Xu Cheng stepped forward and stopped Lu Shiyan from chasing Nan Sheng.

In Xu Cheng's opinion, Nan Sheng is the source of trouble.

Nothing good will happen as long as you are involved with Nan Sheng.

Just like now, Lu Shiyan has to compete with the Zhou family for this bid because of Nan Sheng.

Yes, on the surface it was revenge on Song Xiao, but it undoubtedly offended the Zhou family.

Lu Shiyan knew this truth, but he still insisted on doing it. Xu Cheng knew that it was because of Nan Sheng.

Today, Zhou Jingyan came very low-key and did not tell anyone.

Zhou Jingyan went to Beicheng not for this goal. This goal was of no importance to Zhou Jingyan. He just wanted to see what Song Xiao's abilities were.

Zhou Jingyan appeared in Beicheng because he had a clue about the disappearance of the eldest daughter of the Zhou family.

Rumor has it that the Zhou family's keepsake appeared in North City.

That's why Zhou Jingyan came.

Lu Shiyan used clues to get in touch with Zhou Jingyan, so Zhou Jingyan agreed to meet with Lu Shiyan, and Lu Shiyan naturally could not break the appointment.

Lu Shiyan gradually calmed down and looked at Xu Cheng. "Are you ready for what I asked you to prepare?"

"Ready." Xu Cheng responded.

Then Xu Cheng handed a wooden box to Lu Shiyan. Lu Shiyan looked down at it without saying a word.

"Mr. Lu, if the Zhou family finds out that you cheated me, I'm afraid..." Xu Cheng was still a little nervous.

Zhou Jingyan came to Beicheng for the token. This news was not released by Lu Shiyan, but Zhou Jingyan got the clue himself.

Zhou Zhenzhen disappeared in Xiangshan Temple, but the token he carried with him appeared in North City.

Lu Shiyan had been paying attention to this matter, so he could more or less figure out that this token was the jade pendant that belonged to the Zhou family.

However, the Zhou family has never made it public, so no one knows what the jade pendant looks like.

Lu Shiyan was an extremely intelligent person. He managed to piece together a rough outline from many complicated clues.

In addition, the Zhou family is a large family in the capital and has been in its heyday since the last century.

So the Zhou family retained the family totem.

However, after entering the new era, this totem has been rarely used and has been collected by the Zhou family.

Rumor has it that this family totem also involved the nobles in the late Ming and Qing dynasties.

Lu Shiyan took the opportunity to find all the totems that matched the requirements from that year. When he saw these totems, he felt more and more familiar with them.

Later he remembered that he had seen him at the Nan family that year.

When Nan Sheng's parents got into trouble, they gave the jade pendant to Lu Shiyan, asking Lu Shiyan to give it to Nan Sheng when she came of age.

At that time, they wanted to explain something to Lu Shiyan, but in the end, they didn't have time to say a word before he passed away.

Now this jade pendant is always in Lu Shiyan's hands.

The things that happened to Nan Sheng after she became an adult left Lu Shiyan with no time to take care of this matter.

But I didn't expect that this jade pendant would come in handy at this time.

Lu Shiyan didn't know if the time was right, but he could still gamble.

"The Zhou family hasn't revealed any clues. Besides, this jade pendant isn't man-made, but natural. Even if the Zhou family knew it wasn't true, they wouldn't blame us." Lu Shiyan said calmly, "But our goal has been achieved. Meeting Zhou Jingyan and spreading the word will make future cooperation easier."

Lu Shiyan is a shrewd businessman and naturally knows how to maximize profits.

Xu Cheng didn't say anything. He unconditionally supported any decision made by Lu Shiyan.

Soon, the two walked towards the bidding site.

Lu Shiyan lowered his eyes and looked at the wooden box in the handbag. Suddenly, Lu Shiyan became quiet.

He remembered that Nan Sheng's father was from Beicheng, and Nan Sheng actually lived in Beicheng before he was two years old, and only later came to Haicheng.

Nan Sheng was too young and had no memory of it at all.

So, is there really any connection here?

Lu Shiyan's mind was confused for a moment, but he couldn't grasp the most important clue.

After a moment of silence, Lu Shiyan looked at Xu Cheng: "There has never been any photo of Zhou Jingyan's mother?"

"I can't find any clues." Xu Cheng shook his head.

Zhou Jingyan's mother is Jiang Qingqiu, and anyone who knows a little about the Zhou family's history will know this.

Jiang Qingqiu is the real eldest daughter of the Zhou family, and the Zhou family has only one daughter.

Zhou Jingyan's grandfather doted on his wife very much, and even his only daughter took his wife's surname, Jiang.

She was raised in luxury and later married Zhou Jianming, the adopted son of the Zhou family, who is also Zhou Jingyan's father.

If outsiders didn't know, they would think that Zhou Jianming was a member of the Zhou family and Jiang Qingqiu was the married wife.

In fact, Zhou Jianming is the son-in-law who married into the Zhou family.
