Sheng Miaotong lowered her head and remained silent, completely disregarding his words.
A moment of uncomfortable silence suddenly fell over the tea house.
The smile on the man’s face, however, remained unchanged.
For he had always been certain of one thing: those destined for great achievements could never allow small matters to visibly affect their emotions.
This was also what his father, the Patriarch of the Lu Family, constantly taught him.
As the most outstanding descendant among the younger generation of the Lu Family, Lu Shifa strongly agreed and had always strived to abide by it.
Therefore, even though he had long coveted the two sisters of the Sheng Family, he always maintained a calm and collected appearance, and even carried the air of an elder.
Just like a moment ago, his every word and action were perfectly in line with the persona of a caring older brother, leaving no fault to be found.
Sheng Miaotong’s silence only served to make her seem willful and capricious.
As expected.
Sheng Manyu’s brow slightly furrowed as she spoke sternly, "Miaotong, aren’t you going to thank him?"
Sheng Miaotong’s body shook, and then she spoke with a voice too low to be heard, "Thank you, Brother Lu."
When saying the word ’Lu,’ she mumbled and hurriedly glossed over it.
Sheng Manyu wanted to say more, but Lu Shifa raised his hand to stop her, and then cheerfully said, "Alright, Miaotong is still young, a bit of willfulness is not surprising! But as for this person..."
With these words, his gaze swept over everyone and lingered on Xue An.
In fact, from the moment he entered, he had already noticed Xue An.
Because it was impossible not to; Xue An, dressed in white, was the center of attention wherever he went.
But upon close examination, Lu Shifa’s heart couldn’t help but sink.
He realized that, despite the young man’s lack of fame, he far surpassed himself in both appearance and demeanor.
Without exaggeration, even surpassing him by a large margin.
This realization came as a shock to the always confident Lu Shifa, and a strong sense of rivalry arose within him.
As the man with the best relationship to Sheng Manyu, and most likely to win the ’rose’ of the Sheng Family,
he had always considered the two sisters his exclusive preserve, not allowing others to touch.
Therefore, when he happened upon Su Junneng who was hurrying along the road and learned that someone had won Sheng Miaotong’s favor, Lu Shifa was like a cat on hot bricks, rushing over here hastily.
Now that he had seen Xue An, his sense of rivalry grew even stronger, and after sizing him up,
Lu Shifa let out a mocking sneer and slowly asked, "This brother here seems rather unfamiliar. Might I ask where you hail from?"
This question brought the attention of the entire room to rest upon Xue An.
Sheng Miaotong’s expression changed, anger rising within her as she looked up, ready to speak.
But Sheng Manyu shot her a glaring look, signaling her to remain silent.
For she herself had learned of this from Su Junneng.
Compared to Lu Shifa’s vile intentions, her concern was purely for her sister, fearing she would be deceived by scoundrels again, which is why she hurried over.
Looking at the young man now, although he was good-looking, he definitely did not seem to be a scion of a great household.
Just on this point alone, Sheng Manyu’s heart grew cold.
Given the status of the Sheng Family, it was impossible for them to allow Sheng Miaotong to be involved with such a man.
Moreover, from what she understood, it was very likely that this young man approached Sheng Miaotong due to the influence and power of the Sheng Family.
