Chapter 1095: Chapter 1089: The Storm Is Brewing

While Lu Tianxing was at the Liang Family, Shen Manjun also arrived in Suzhou with her people, randomly chose a hotel, and checked in.

Inside the presidential suite, Shen Manjun stood in front of the balcony, watching the bustling crowd and endless traffic on the streets of Suzhou. Uncle Shou stood beside her, his expression grave.

”Uncle Shou, where’s Qiaoqiao?” Shen Manjun asked.

”Lady Qiaoqiao went out to have fun with the Grand Elder; they’re said to be touring the Suzhou Garden,” Uncle Shou spoke slowly.

”Hmm, I understand.”

Shen Manjun nodded her head. With the Grand Elder accompanying her, she didn’t need to worry about Qiaoqiao’s safety: ”What’s the situation in Suzhou now? Any news?”

”The situation isn’t very good,” Uncle Shou sighed.

”What happened?” Shen Manjun frowned.

”Last night, led by Liang Shidao, Lu Tianxing met Lu Haoyue at the Dream Kingdom in Suzhou amidst possible conflicts. Lu Haoyue and Lu Tianxing seemed to clash, and Lu Haoyue even had harsh words, saying he’d make Lu Tianxing regret it.”

Upon hearing Uncle Shou’s words, Shen Manjun took a deep breath and said: ”Do we know the reason?”

”According to rumors circulating, it is said that Lu Haoyue doesn’t like Lu Tianxing entering the Lu Family to compete for the heir position, so he tried to buy off Lu Tianxing with money. Lu Tianxing refused, leading to a fallout. It’s said that their fight last night was very intense.”

Uncle Shou quickly added: ”Miss, it might be difficult for us to intervene in this matter. Lu Haoyue is the legitimate heir of the Lu Family’s head. Clashing with him is equivalent to clashing with the Lu Family, which is of no advantage to us.”

”That’s impossible, I don’t believe they had a conflict. I’ve met Lu Haoyue once; he didn’t seem like someone obsessed with power.”

Shen Manjun shook her head and said: ”Uncle Shou, regardless, have someone keep a close eye on everything happening in Suzhou. Do not let any clue slip by; I need to know every little thing that happens here.”

”I understand, I’ll make arrangements.”

”Hmm, Uncle Shou, you can leave for now! I need some quiet time alone.”

”Alright then, Miss, I’ll take my leave.” Uncle Shou nodded, turned around, and walked outside.

Watching Uncle Shou leave, Shen Manjun took a deep breath, her gaze sweeping across Suzhou City. The storm is brewing; ever since she arrived in Suzhou, she felt an invisible hand looming over the city’s sky, giving off a sense of approaching storm.

The entire Suzhou seems calm on the surface, yet undercurrents are surging beneath. A slight step wrong might get one caught up and torn to pieces.

”A storm is brewing, Lu Tianxing. This time, I’m betting everything of the Shen Family on you. I’ve met countless people, and I hope I haven’t misjudged you. Are you truly the man worth depending on in this life?”

Shen Manjun whispered to herself softly, her gaze drawn toward the sky in a trance.

Time flows like water, years pass by in a flash. After having lunch with the Liang Family, Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing declined their offer to stay longer, departing directly.

After leaving the Liang Family, Lu Tianxing drove a distance and then looked at Bai Zhiqing, saying: ”Honey, what’s your take on today’s events?”

Bai Zhiqing pondered for a moment and slowly said: ”Liang Wanqing is an old fox, vicious and deceitful with deep scheming. He seems to be speaking on your behalf, yet is subtly sowing discord between you and Lu Haoyue, deepening your animosity. But his tactics are more sophisticated, belonging to the type that hides a dagger behind a smile.”

”Honey, you’re right. That’s the nature of big families—they would do anything for profit. Don’t be fooled by Liang Wanqing’s friendly demeanor; if he couldn’t use me, he probably wouldn’t even glance at me.” Lu Tianxing said with a faint smile.

”Lu Tianxing, what to do next?”

Lu Tianxing said indifferently: ”What can we do? Eat when it’s time to eat, drink when it’s time to drink. Act according to the situation. If the Liang Family fails to recognize goodwill, don’t blame me for erasing them from this world completely.”

Bai Zhiqing nodded, saying nothing more, her gaze wandering outside the window.

At this moment, Liang Wanqing and Liang Shidao were again sitting in the Lake Heart Pavilion where they had met Lu Tianxing.

”Grandpa, what do you think of Lu Tianxing? Did he really have a fallout with Lu Haoyue?” Liang Shidao asked Liang Wanqing.

”Not sure, but when I mentioned Lu Haoyue’s name, the murderous intent in his eyes was no fake. There’s at least a seventy percent chance that they did clash, with thirty percent being an act.”

Liang Wanqing pondered briefly and then said: ”Still, I dislike it when things aren’t absolute. Shidao, what about the arrangements I asked you to make?”

”I’ve arranged everything; we’re waiting for a suitable time to act. However, Lu Tianxing is too strong, so those I arranged dare not get too close. They can only monitor from a distance and seize the opportunity.”

”That’s fine. Remember, we must act swiftly; we need them to fully fall out before he enters the Lu Family. Only then is it advantageous to us, understand?” Liang Wanqing said sternly.

Liang Shidao nodded, saying: ”Grandpa, I’ll make sure to speed things up.”

”Good then.”

Liang Wanqing gestured to Liang Shidao: ”You may leave now!”

Liang Shidao stood up respectfully and left, heading outside.

Liang Wanqing watched Liang Shidao’s departing figure, remained silent for a moment, and then took out his phone to dial a number.

Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing were completely unaware of this, with danger quietly descending. At this time, the two were driving around leisurely in Suzhou City, enjoying a rare moment of togetherness.

As night gradually fell, Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing chose not to return to the hotel but entered a lakeside western restaurant. The restaurant was filled with items related to Western culture, such as oil paintings, knight armors, and other decorations.

The dim lighting enveloped the entire restaurant, creating a layer of hazy and romantic atmosphere. Some couples sat at seats specially prepared for them, openly expressing affection, ignoring the gazes of others.

Bai Zhiqing stood beside Lu Tianxing, her cheeks a bit flushed, as she realized she was utterly unprepared for this romantic dining style. Beside her, she watched a couple feeding each other openly. This scene brought a strong sense of unease to her, as she had never done such things with Lu Tianxing before.
