Chapter 66: Okay, Husband?

Bai Xiuping’s lips curled into a smile, she sat up straight, looking like a senior.

Su Yiren looked quietly at Lu Yunting，who also looked back at her with a calm expression. They stared at each other for a few seconds.

Even though a huge wave of emotions surged within her, Su Yiren still smiled, and said to Bai Xiuping with a pleasant expression:

“So it’s Mrs. Ouyang, nice to meet you.”

After finishing, she looked at the middle-aged man sitting next to Lu Yunting. This time, she took the initiative to address him:

“I presume this is Mr. Ouyang? Nice to meet you, welcome to my grandfather’s birthday banquet.”

Ouyang Wenhui nodded, his attitude was much better than Bai Xiuping’s:

“Mrs. Lu, you’re too kind. It’s our family’s honor to be able to attend Mr. Lu’s birthday banquet.”

The polite exchange was enough, continuing would only make things awkward.

Su Yiren glanced at Lu Yunting who was slowly sipping his tea. She noticed from the corner of her eye that Ouyang Shasha’s eyes kept glancing towards them. Suddenly, she felt like playing a little prank.

So, she deliberately leaned closer to Lu Yunting，and said to him in a soft and gentle voice:

“I still need to help Mom greet the guests. I’ll leave these three distinguished guests to you, okay, husband?”

The word “husband” was so gentle that it seemed like it could squeeze out water. It was like an electric current that directly stimulated his heart. Lu Yunting’s hand holding the tea trembled, and the tea nearly spilled.

He looked at Su Yiren in disbelief, but she was smiling softly, her eyes bright. She looked completely harmless, but there was a hint of mischief and pride in her eyes.

Like a fox that had stolen food, she turned around and proudly showed off to her master.

Something in his heart felt numb and strange, so much so that the resentment he had accumulated before had lessened.

Lu Yunting cleared his throat and softly replied:

“Okay, go ahead.”

Su Yiren’s lips curled up in a smile. She nodded to the Ouyang couple, then deliberately glanced at Ouyang Shasha, waved her hand slightly, and said in a deliberately affected voice:

“See you later, Miss Ouyang~” She completely copied the insincere attitude that Ouyang Shasha had shown earlier.

From the moment she heard Su Yiren call Lu Yunting “husband,” Ouyang Shasha was completely distraught.

She cursed repeatedly in her heart:

What is Su Yiren pretending to be?!

They are about to get a divorce, who is she trying to be sweet to?!

Shameless thing!

Even if she throws herself at Ating，he wouldn’t want her!

Ouyang Shasha’s expression changed drastically, but she still pretended to be nonchalant and waved to Su Yiren, her voice suppressing her jealousy:

“Okay, Sister Yiren.”

Away from this place of conflict, Su Yiren felt that the air around her became much fresher.

She had deliberately acted disgustingly in front of Ouyang Shasha. Regardless of what happened next, she was still Lu Yunting’s wife today, and Ouyang Shasha was just a mistress who couldn’t be brought to the surface.

Although this was a bit childish, she just wanted to see Ouyang Shasha get angry, and hopefully they would fight again because of this and quickly get out of the Lu family.

Bai Xiuping naturally also saw the interaction between Su Yiren and Lu Yunting just now, and her eyebrows twitched.

She exchanged a look with Ouyang Shasha, who was full of resentment, and then said to Lu Yunting with a faint smile:

“Mr. Lu, your relationship with your wife is really good.”

They both knew how good or bad their relationship was. Saying this now was just a veiled remark.

But Lu Yunting put down his teacup, and replied with a faint “hmm”:

“Not as good as you and Mr. Ouyang. I heard you were childhood sweethearts, which is truly enviable.”

Ouyang Wenhui smiled and said nothing, but Bai Xiuping deliberately said:

“Speaking of which, Mr. Lu and Shasha were also childhood sweethearts! I remember you were classmates from elementary school, right?”

Ouyang Shasha sat down next to Lu Yunting，and said in a sweet voice:

“Mom~ Ating and I were classmates from kindergarten!”

Lu Yunting saw her clinging to him, and subconsciously moved away. He corrected her in a flat tone:

“We weren’t childhood sweethearts, we just had similar family backgrounds and went to the best private schools in Jiangcheng.”

With one sentence, he refuted the rumors that Ouyang Shasha had been spreading for years. Several wives who were chatting nearby all pricked up their ears to listen to what was happening here, and they saw gossip in each other’s eyes.

Bai Xiuping and Ouyang Shasha’s faces didn’t look good, and they didn’t speak for a while.

Ouyang Wenhui, however, laughed and said:

“Mr. Lu is really flattering our family. In Jiangcheng, which family can compare to the Lu family’s background? We’re just doing small businesses, don’t make fun of us, Mr. Lu.”

Lu Yunting also politely replied with a few words.

This topic was about to be dropped, but Bai Xiuping was determined not to let it go. She changed the subject and continued:

“Although being childhood sweethearts is a bit of a pity, we’ve seen your relationship from childhood to adulthood. Oh, it’s just that Shasha’s health wasn’t good, and she went abroad for treatment for a few years, otherwise…”

She glanced at Su Yiren, who was chatting with other guests not far away, and didn’t finish the rest of her sentence, but the meaning was very clear.

Lu Yunting’s eyebrows twitched, as if he didn’t know anything, and asked:

“Otherwise what?”

“Oh, nothing.” Bai Xiuping said awkwardly:

“It’s just that seeing you two like this for so many years makes me feel a bit regretful.”

But Lu Yunting said in a gentle voice:

“Shasha has always been close to my sister, and I also treat her as my sister. There’s nothing to regret.”

With one sentence, he defined their relationship and directly blocked Bai Xiuping’s next words.

Ouyang Shasha saw several wives looking at them constantly, and she felt a little embarrassed. She said with a reproachful tone:

“Mom~ Why are you saying these things?”

Bai Xiuping quickly changed her words: “Oh, I was just thinking about your childhood when I saw Mr. Lu. I won’t talk about it anymore, I won’t talk about it anymore.”

Lu Yunting picked up his teacup, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, clearly not wanting to continue this topic.

On the other side, Su Yiren was chatting quietly with Sheng Jiaer.

Since the art exhibition that day, Sheng Jiaer now looked at Su Yiren as if she was looking at a living Buddha.

“Sister Yiren, can you believe it? Buchi actually gave me a painting! A painting!”

If it weren’t for the current occasion, Sheng Jiaer would definitely have cheered, jumped, and spun around.

But even so, she was so excited that she held her face with both hands, her eyes full of stars.

Su Yiren laughed lightly and asked:

“When did this happen?”

“Just this morning, it was just delivered to my house!” Sheng Jiaer was so excited that she was a little incoherent:

“I’m going to hang it in my bedroom, I have to look at it all the time! No, I’ll put it in the display cabinet! It’s easy to get dusty if I hang it!”

Su Yiren was amused by her and shook her head helplessly:

“It’s just a painting.”

“That’s not just any painting! It’s Buchi’s! It’s my idol’s!” Sheng Jiaer grabbed Su Yiren’s hand:

“Sister Yiren, I can’t believe you actually know Buchi! I’m so excited! I’m just basking in your glory!”

Su Yiren was about to speak, but she heard her ask mysteriously:

“Then do you know Bu Yu?”
