    "Hey, stop preaching at her." Mr. Jiangughed out loud. When he asked Jiang Yao if she would stay


    for dinner, he couldn''t help but sigh dejectedly when Jiang Yao said she would go back after a while.


    "Honestly, I think that you got married too soon. You already have another home after only being at


    home for less than two decades."


    Jiang Yao went back to the Lu family after a short visit. Mrs. Lu got off work early today. When she saw


    Jiang Yao, she casually asked about Lu Yuqing''s purpose for seeking her out. Jiang Yao assumed that


    Lu Yuqing had intended to keep the matter under wraps for the time being and handle it on her own.


    Jiang Yao blurted out some excuses to get it over with. While she was helping Mrs. Lu prepare dinner,


    she asked about Lu Xingzhi''s friends.


    "Mom, does Xingzhi have a lot of good friends in Jindo? I remember some of his friends attending our


    wedding." Frankly speaking, Jiang Yao couldn''t remember what happened or the guests who had


    attended their wedding because back then, she wasn''t interested in Lu Xingzhi''s business. Now,


    however, she was intrigued and wanted to get to know him more.


    It was such a rare asion that Mrs. Lu nced at Jiang Yao with a mix of confusion and amusement.


    Then, she chuckled and teased, "I see that you''ve been very interested to know about Xingzhitely.


    From what I''ve observed, you''ve miss him every second since he returned to the base. I think you


    might have gone after him to the base if you didn''t have school, am I right?"


    Jiang Yao wasn''t feeling timid and shy after being teased. Instead, she smiled and admitted, "He''s my


    husband, so of course I miss him. By the way, Mom, I won''t being home for the National Day

    holiday. Xingzhi has asked me to visit him at the base."


    "Alright, go ahead." Mrs. Luughed gently, then added, "Xingzhi has a few close friends in Jindo. The


    eldest is Liang Yueze, he''s a young and sessful businessman; the second eldest lives abroad, he is


    a professor in cultural studies or something. Xingzhi ranks third. The fourth is Zhou Weiqi, he works in


    the Jindo Industrial and Commercial Bureau. The youngest is Chen Xuyao, he is an architectural


    designer. He''s said to be very famous in his field. These fellows are from wealthy and powerful families


    in Jindo, and they attended your wedding."


    Jiang Yao couldn''t recall any of their looks at all, but she figured any of these people should be


    famously known in Jindo.


    "Oh yes, there''s a girl named Luo Lauren, she''s pretty and interesting. I think she and the second


    buddy are a couple, I can sense that they are very close and he takes care of the girl, but I''m not sure if


    I''m wrong because Xingzhi never mentions anything about them." Mrs. Lu began to gossip about Lu


    Xingzhi''s friends. She got even more excited when she saw Jiang Yao listen enthusiastically, so after


    telling her about Lu Xingzhi''s social circle, she began telling her all about Lu Xingzhi, from his


    childhood to his college days. Mrs. Lu shared Lu Xingzhi''s life stories with Jiang Yao.


    For Jiang Yao, getting to know Lu Xingzhi was like opening the door to a whole new world. She


    realized that Lu Xingzhi''s dullness was au naturel. When he was born, he was veryposed and


    calm unlike other children. He didn''t cry often, he didn''t throw tantrums, and he didn''t evenugh much.


    However, he was a troublemaker and more fearsome than other children.


    Jiang Yao didn''t know that Lu Yuqing was preparing to deal with Zhao Zhuangzong''s extramarital affair.


    In the blink of an eye, her college registration was just around the corner. She and Jiang Lei went to the


    county town to buy a suitcase and collect the train tickets.
