"Rising Step by Step" - 256

After Mo Rulong left, Yu Xialan slumped onto the sofa, her beautiful face streaked with tears.
Li Yuyao, wiping away her tears, stood beside Yu Xialan and asked, "Should we tell Lu An about this?"
Yu Xialan quickly covered Li Yuyao's mouth and whispered, "Mo Rulong has placed a surveillance camera in the room. Let's go to the bedroom."
The two entered Li Yuyao's bedroom, and Li Yuyao said, "I think it's necessary for Lu An to know about this."
Yu Xialan shook her head slightly, tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes. She said sadly, "We can't tell him, otherwise he might impulsively do something foolish. Mo Rulong has evidence against him. If he provokes Mo Rulong again, he will definitely be the one who suffers."
"What do we do now?" Li Yuyao asked with a worried look on her face.
Yu Xialan said with a somewhat sad expression, "Now I have no choice but to marry Huang Juncai."
"Is it worth it?" Li Yuyao asked Yu Xialan, her voice trembling with tears.
Yu Xialan smiled and said, "What's not worth it? Besides, I didn't do anything for Lu An. I forced him to have this child, and I'm the one who caused him trouble. It's only right that I take care of it myself now."
"Sigh." Li Yuyao sighed heavily. "But this concerns your happiness for the rest of your life. If you marry Huang Juncai, your life will be over."
Yu Xialan forced a smile and said, "It's not that exaggerated. Actually, Huang Jun is a very good person. He's just a little mentally challenged, but otherwise he's quite good."
Li Yuyao shook her head. "Just keep putting on a brave face. I'm your mother, I know you well enough. Anyway, I still suggest you talk to Lu An about this and see what his attitude is."
"Don't tell him. I've made up my mind. I'm going to marry Huang Juncai."
...
While working on Lantau Island, Lu An received a call from Mo Rulong. He handed his hoe to a local farmer, walked out of the field, took off his straw hat, sat on the edge of the field, answered the phone, and seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, asked, "Who is this?"
Mo Rulong chuckled amicably on the phone, "Director Lu, this is Mo Rulong. We met in Yunshan, do you remember?"
Lu An narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled and said, "Of course I remember. How could a tycoon from Yunshan not remember?"
Mo Rulong laughed and said, "Director Lu, please don't tease me. I'm not some big tycoon, just a small businessman."
Then, Mo Rulong got back to the point and said, "I heard that Director Lu has come to Hong Kong Island?"
Lu An asked curiously, "How did you know?"
Mo Rulong sat in his leather chair in the office and smiled with a rich expression: "I heard Yu Xialan mention that Director Lu came to Hong Kong Island."
Hearing Mo Rulong say this, Lu An's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately had a bad feeling. He didn't believe that Yu Xialan would take the initiative to say these things to Mo Rulong, so he smiled calmly and said, "Why is Miss Yu telling you these things? We don't seem to have any dealings with each other, do we?"
Mo Rulong lit a cigarette and took a leisurely puff, a teasing smile on his face, and said, "We're both from Yunshan, it's fate that we met in Hong Kong. Although we haven't had much contact before, can we keep in touch more often in the future? Director Lu is young and promising, I wonder if I, Mo, am worthy of his position?"
Lu An feigned politeness and said, "Mr. Mo, you're too kind. It's my honor to be friends with a big boss like you."
Mo Rulong smiled and said, "I'd like to invite Director Lu to dinner tonight. I wonder if Director Lu has the time?"
Lu An hesitated for a moment, wondering what tricks Mo Rulong was up to, before nodding in agreement.
Lu An had planned to go straight to his appointment with Mo Rulong after get off work, but just as he got into a taxi, Fang Yingyi called. She said helplessly on the phone, "Lu An, are you off work yet?"
Lu An smiled and said, "Just got off work, Sister Yingyi, is there anything I can help you with?"
Fang Yingyi said with a wry smile, "Yiyi keeps insisting on seeing you."
Lu An exclaimed "Ah!" and then laughed silently, saying, "Is she a child? She's still clamoring to see me."
Fang Yingyi explained with a headache, "Yiyi doesn't trust me. She thought you ran away because you didn't come to see her all day. She's in a hurry to see you. Why don't you come over? I can't handle it."
Lu An glanced at his watch; there was still more than an hour before the time he was supposed to meet Mo Rulong. He smiled wryly and nodded in agreement.
...
"Yiyi, stop making a fuss. I've already called Lu An, he'll be here soon." Fang Yingyi hung up the phone, sat down next to Yang Yiyi with a helpless expression, and said gently.
Yang Yiyi said with a stern face, "I don't believe you. You said a long time ago that Lu An would be here soon, but what time is it now? It's already dark."
Just as Fang Yingyi was about to explain, there was a knock on the door outside. Fang Yingyi smiled and said, "Here we are."
Hearing the knock, Yang Yiyi's face lit up with joy. She quickly jumped off the bed, slipped on her slippers, and ran out. When she opened the door and saw Lu An with a warm smile, Jiang Qingqing's eyes reddened as she said, "I thought you didn't want to see me anymore."
Lu An laughed and said, "How could that be? I've been busy with work, so I came to see you as soon as I got off work."
"Really?" Yang Yiyi smiled happily and pulled Lu An into the house.
Lu An coughed awkwardly, pulled his hand away from Yang Yiyi's, and whispered, "Be mindful of the situation, Fang Yingyi is inside."
Yang Yiyi stuck out her tongue reluctantly and obediently said, "Okay."
Lu An looked at Yang Yiyi with a wry smile, thinking, is this still the Yang Yiyi I used to know?
"Lu An, you're finally here! I really couldn't have held on any longer if you hadn't come." Fang Yingyi walked out of Yang Yiyi's bedroom with a smile, her face full of helplessness.
Lu An pointed at Fang Yingyi and said to Yang Yiyi, "Sister Yiyi, this is your best friend. You two have known each other for twenty years. She's much closer to me than I am, you know?"
Yang Yiyi shook her head, glanced at Fang Yingyi, and said to Lu An, "But I really can't remember."
Lu An said, "Now that I've told you, you should know, right?"
Yang Yiyi gave a soft "Mmm" and nodded with a smile.
Fang Yingyi, watching from the side, exclaimed, "Is this still the Yang Yiyi I know? Her personality has completely reversed. I don't know if this is good or bad for her."
Lu An smiled and said, "Sister Yingyi, don't you think Yang Yiyi is even cuter like this?"
Fang Yingyi smiled and then glanced at Lu An with a charming look, saying softly, "But she has also changed so much that people don't recognize her anymore. I still hope that the Yang Yiyi of the past can come back."
Lu An gave a wry smile, checked the time, and said, "I can't stay here any longer. I have an appointment tonight that I have to go to."
Fang Yingyi nodded and said, "Go ahead, I'll take care of Yiyi."
Lu An nodded with a smile, but Yang Yiyi, who was standing next to him, objected and tugged at Lu An's sleeve, saying, "I want to go with you."
Lu An smiled wryly and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Yang Yiyi replied matter-of-factly, "Of course I'll keep the appointment."
Lu An smiled and asked, "Do you know that person?"
Yang Yiyi shook her head and said, "I don't know him, but it's fine if you do."
Fang Yingyi said helplessly, "Yiyi, stop fooling around. Lu An has important business to attend to."
Lu An smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's nothing important, just a date with a fellow villager. Why don't you let Sister Yiyi come with me?"
Fang Yingyi hesitated and said, "Won't this cause you trouble?"
Lu Andao said, "No."
Fang Yingyi smiled and said, "That's good. I need to go home and change my clothes today. I'll come over tonight."
Fang Yingyi gave her car to Lu An to drive, and then went to the street to hail a taxi home.
As Lu An drove, he looked at Yang Yiyi in the passenger seat and said with a sigh, "How did you manage to remember me? Am I that important?"
Yang Yiyi smoothed her dark hair at her temples, smiled, and said, "I don't know either. Anyway, I only remember you. I've forgotten everyone else."
"You're really something, you even forgot your dad."
After hearing Lu An's words, Yang Yiyi asked with some worry, "Lu An, do you think I've become an idiot?"
Lu An asked, both amused and exasperated, "What's wrong with you?"
Yang Yiyi said with a frustrated look, "I only remember you. I don't remember anyone else. What else could I be but an idiot?"
Lu An comforted him, "This is only temporary. Your memory will return soon."
"Really?" Yang Yiyi stared at Lu An with her beautiful eyes.
Lu An raised an eyebrow and smiled, "More real than pearls, little girl."
Yang Yiyi smiled, giving Lu An a flirtatious glance, and said softly, "You're so annoying!"
...
Lu An parked the car in front of the hotel where he had arranged to meet Mo Rulong. After parking, he took Yang Yiyi to the private room that Mo Rulong had reserved.
After the two entered the hotel lobby, one of the beautiful female greeters came out and asked Lu An with a gentle smile, "Excuse me, sir, do you have a reserved private room?"
Lu An nodded with a smile and announced the private room Mo Rulong had designated. The hostess then smiled and said, "Sir, madam, this way, I'll take you up."
Led by the hostess, the two arrived at the place designated by Mo Rulong. They pushed open the door to the private room, where Mo Rulong was already waiting. Upon seeing Lu An enter, he stood up from the sofa with a smile and went to greet him, saying, "Director Lu, welcome!"
Lu An smiled and shook hands with Mo Rulong, then said with a smile, "I brought along an extra person to freeload, Mr. Mo, you don't mind, do you?"
Mo Rulong laughed and said, "Of course I don't mind."
Mo Rulong glanced at Yang Yiyi and, seeing how beautiful she was, inwardly slandered Lu An while asking, "Director Lu, is this your girlfriend? You've only been in Hong Kong for a short time, and you've already found such a beautiful girl as your girlfriend."
Lu An smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I don't have that kind of luck. She's my friend, her name is Yang Yiyi."
"Yang Yiyi, what a nice name!" Mo Rulong pointed to the dining table and said, "Come on, let's sit down first. The food will be served soon. Let's eat and chat."
"I didn't know what Director Lu liked to eat, so I ordered a little bit of every kind of dish here. Director Lu can enjoy them slowly later," Mo Rulong said with a smile.
Lu An exclaimed, "Mr. Mo, you're so generous! I feel quite pressured eating this meal."
Mo Rulong laughed and said, "Don't feel pressured. We're just having a casual home-cooked meal and chatting. After being here for so long, it feels so good to meet someone from our hometown."
Lu An nodded with a smile, but inwardly cursed Mo Rulong as a hypocritical old fox.
After the waiter poured water for Lu An and Yang Yiyi, Lu An picked up his glass, took a sip, and asked, "Mr. Mo, you're not just treating me to dinner today, are you?"
Mo Rulong laughed and said, "Look at what Director Lu is saying. Do you think I'm just inviting you to dinner in a complicated way?" After saying that, the two of them laughed.
With all the delicacies served, Mo Rulong dismissed the waitress and personally served Lu Anman a drink. He then smiled and said to Yang Yiyi, "Miss Yang, would you like some too?"
Yang Yiyi didn't stand on ceremony and nodded with a smile, saying, "Okay."
"No, she can't hold her liquor," Lu An advised.
Mo Rulong smiled and said, "Drinking just a little shouldn't be a problem."
"Then let's have a little." Lu An nodded and smiled, "I'm afraid you can't hold your liquor and might cause trouble if you drink too much."
Yang Yiyi smiled and said, "No, I can hold my liquor very well."
Lu An was speechless. He had witnessed Yang Yiyi's drinking capacity before; she could get dizzy after just one bottle of beer. So he said, "You'd better drink less. I don't want to carry you back later."
Mo Rulong poured himself a full glass of wine, then stood up with a smile, saying he wanted to toast Lu An. Lu An thought to himself that this guy was indeed very good at putting on a show. Lu An also humbly stood up and clinked glasses with Mo Rulong. Mo Rulong took a small sip and said with a smile, "Director Lu, let's drink as we please. I have a very low alcohol tolerance. As long as you drink well, Director Lu is fine."
Lu An nodded, sat back down, and then asked with a smile, "Mr. Mo, are you here in Hong Kong on business or something else?"
Mo Rulong picked up some food, chewed it a couple of times, and then nodded before saying to Lu An, "The main purpose of this trip is to attend my daughter Yu Xialan's wedding. The main purpose here is to manage the branch company."
Mo Rulong toasted Lu An again, then said leisurely, "If Director Lu is still here, remember to attend my daughter's wedding."
Lu An's expression changed slightly, and he felt more and more that something was wrong, with a vague sense of unease creeping into his heart.
"Director Lu, what's wrong? You look a little pale. Are you feeling unwell?" Mo Rulong saw Lu An's expression change slightly and sneered inwardly, but asked with a friendly tone.
Lu An shook his head and said, "It's nothing." Then he picked up the cup and said, "If Miss Yu gets married, I will definitely go."
Mo Rulong smiled and bumped hands with Lu An, saying, "Then I'll send Director Lu an invitation."
Lu An, intending to annoy Mo Rulong, put down his cup and said with concern, "Mr. Mo, I've heard about your son's situation. The security in Hong Kong is really terrible. How could such an outrageous thing happen to your son? I even had drinks with him back in Yunshan. He's a very nice person. It's such a pity. Mr. Mo, you must take care of yourself and wait for the police to catch the murderer as soon as possible."
Upon hearing Lu An's words, Mo Rulong's expression turned extremely ugly. He put down his chopsticks, lost his appetite, and said to Lu An with a forced smile, "I will not let any of the murderers go. If I cannot avenge my son, I, Mo Rulong, have lived these past fifty or sixty years in vain."
With that, Mo Rulong stood up, apologized to Lu An, said he was going to the restroom, and then turned and left the private room.
Jiang Qingqing picked up a shrimp and placed it on her plate, then began peeling it. She handed the peeled shrimp to Lu An and said softly, "Here, have some. This is delicious."
Lu An gently pinched Yang Yiyi's charming and pretty face and said, "Yiyi is still the best."
Yang Yiyi blushed slightly, then asked Lu An with a puzzled look, "Was that person angry just now?"
Lu An put the shrimp that Yang Yiyi had peeled for him into his mouth, chewed it a couple of times, and then pouted and said, "I'm only happy when I'm angry."
Yang Yiyi asked, puzzled, "Aren't you friends?"
Lu Andao said, "Who is his friend? Calling him a friend is an understatement; he's more like an enemy."
Yang Yiyi was even more confused, so she put down her chopsticks and asked, "If he's an enemy, why would he invite you to dinner?"
Lu An smiled and said, "Have you ever seen the Feast at Hongmen?"
Yang Yiyi had forgotten all her memories, so naturally she didn't remember and gently shook her head.
Lu An smiled wryly, feeling quite helpless towards Yang Yiyi. "To put it simply, he didn't invite me to this meal out of kindness. He's probably planning some underhanded scheme to harm me."
Yang Yiyi said, "How could this old man be so wicked? Let's hurry up and leave." As she spoke, she picked up her purse and was about to leave.
Lu An rolled his eyes, pulled her back to her seat, and said irritably, "What are you afraid of? He can't pose a threat to me for now. Besides, your father is the Chief Secretary for Administration of Hong Kong Island, a figure second only to the President. With him protecting you, what are you afraid of?"
Yang Yiyi smiled and said softly, "My father is that amazing?"
“Of course.” Lu An smiled and said, “Besides the Chief Executive, your father is the highest-ranking official. However, the power of the Chief Secretary for Administration was weakened in recent years, otherwise he would be a top official with great power.” Seeing Yang Yiyi’s blank look, Lu An smiled and made an analogy: “To put it simply, in ancient times, your father would be one rank lower than the emperor, about the same as the prime minister. Do you know what a prime minister is?”
Yang Yiyi said with a smile, "Anyway, it's the second largest?"
Lu An looked helpless and said with a wry smile, "That's one way to understand it."
