With Old Mr. Lu gone, the atmosphere of the banquet naturally relaxed, and several people who were eyeing Qiao Yi eagerly quieted down after Lu Yanchuan took the initiative to speak out in her defense.
Lu Yanchuan is merely the steward of the Lu Family, but his ability to intimidate the high society of Capital City isn't solely because of his status; it's more so because of his unpredictable and ruthless methods.
No one wants to create a powerful enemy for themselves, especially not someone as strong and ruthless as Lu Yanchuan.
With Lu Yanchuan stepping forward, the number of eyes lurking around Qiao Yi decreased significantly.
Having breezed through the evening banquet, Qiao Yi and Lu Yanchuan went back to the old house with Old Mr. Lu.
Qiao Xin and Lu Ming actually wanted to follow them to the old house but were deterred by a single glance from Old Mr. Lu.
