Chapter 475 Nosy
Chapter 475 Nosy
"Back then, there were quite a few people who called Lu Zhen 'Master Lu'."
Seeing Lu Zhen immersed in his memories, Shen Wei glanced at Lin Fan and spoke with a smile.
At this moment, no matter what Lin Fan said or did, it seemed a bit petty. Therefore, Shen Wei decided to break the deadlock.
Sure enough, as Shen Wei finished speaking, Zhao Ziqing came back to her senses and her eyes became cold again.
What she missed was not the past with Lu Zhen, but her lost youth. Noticing this change, Lu Zhen frowned slightly and looked at Shen Wei.
"Indeed, many people have called me that. Unfortunately, Mr. Shen was still studying at that time and couldn't join them." Lu Zhen responded with a smile, but there was a hint of provocation in his tone.
"But it doesn't matter. Now that we're back, there are plenty of opportunities to play together."
Shen Wei heard the hidden meaning: studying? This was clearly a mockery of his youth and lack of qualifications to join their circle.
As for the phrase 'I'm back', it seems to emphasize Lu Zhen's status as the former number one young master.
"What are we playing?" Shen Wei asked with a smile.
"Those who used to be with Master Lu have now become leaders in their respective fields. As for us, we just sit around doing nothing all day."
This sounds gentle, but it is actually sharp - times have changed, and you old faces are no longer suitable for this stage.
"Mr. Shen, do you think I'm old? In fact, our ages are not much different, so there should be no obstacles in communication." Lu Zhen looked directly into Shen Wei's eyes and said, as if he was ready for a contest.
"We've also tried the things you liked in the past. Even before I came back, I heard of Young Master Shen's fame. He was known as the 'Number One Young Master of Ancheng'. Coincidentally, I also had that title when I was young."
After hearing these words, everyone who followed Lu Zhen looked at Shen Wei with meaningful smiles.
Although Shen Wei came from a prominent family, Lu Zhen not only had a strong background, but also had personal abilities far superior to his.
The title of 'The No. 1 Young Master of Ancheng' carries different weights for different people.
"To be honest, I don't like this name. It seems childish." Shen Wei replied with a smile.
"I've said it before, I'd be upset if anyone called me that. After all, we're not kids anymore, so why bother with such empty reputations? Does being called 'First Young Master' really make you the most powerful person? Master Lu, what do you think?"
Lu Zhen's expression darkened slightly.
For many years, he had been proud of the title of 'The First Young Master of Ancheng', but now his worth was being questioned. This was especially difficult for him to accept when it was Shen Wei who was speaking.
"But then again, only Master Lu deserves this title. Since you left, no one, including me, can truly inherit your position." Shen Wei raised his voice and continued.
"In the future, Ancheng will only have one true 'First Young Master', and that is Young Master Lu."
Lu Zhen clenched his teeth, realizing that although Shen Wei's words were not a direct insult, they contained implicit sarcasm.
First denying and then affirming was a disguised way of putting him down. If he hadn't been so cunning, he would have turned against her long ago.
"Haha, Mr. Shen is really good at joking. This is just a name." Lu Zhen suppressed his anger and forced a smile in response.
"Now that I'm back, we'll have plenty of time in the future." Shen Wei nodded in agreement.
"However, what Mr. Lu said just now is not quite right. You may not have had the chance to experience the things we play now. Every era has its own trends, and the old ways of playing are outdated."
Lu Zhen chuckled and said, "Let's see your new tricks some other time." But in his heart he felt annoyed with Shen Wei.
He turned to look at Lin Fan standing beside him and asked with some curiosity, "Who is this?"
Lin Fan wanted to jokingly call himself a "young dad" in his heart, but he held back in the end.
He sensed a hint of hostility, even murderous intent, in Lu Zhen's eyes. Clearly, this person knew him but was just pretending not to know him.
"He is my fiancé, Lin Fan." Zhao Ziqing introduced calmly.
Lu Zhen raised an eyebrow. This was completely different from what he had expected. Based on his understanding of Zhao Ziqing, she shouldn't have acknowledged this relationship so openly. Could this mean that there was indeed love between the two?
"Hello, Mr. Lin, I'm Lu Zhen." Lu Zhen smiled and extended his hand. Although he was unhappy in his heart, he still remained polite on the surface.
"I've heard of Master Lu's name for a long time, and today I finally met him in person."
Lin Fan held the other person's hand, smiling broadly as he spoke. If those words hadn't been said before, this sentence might not have seemed so harsh. But now, it stung Lu Zhen's heart.
"I've heard you're very good, and tonight I see you're really as good as you say." Lin Fan continued, with a hint of teasing in his tone.
Shen Wei couldn't help but laugh, and even Zhao Ziqing almost laughed out loud. After all, everyone knew he meant the light bulb was bright.
"Actually, there's nothing special about it. I've been away from Ancheng for so long, and many things have changed." Lu Zhen felt that there was a mystery hidden in Lin Fan's words, but he couldn't explain it for a moment.
"I wonder what Mr. Lin does for a living?"
"I'm an unemployed vagrant, relying entirely on Zhao Ziqing for support." Lin Fan answered frankly, and laughter suddenly rang out around him.
"Are you a gigolo?" someone joked.
"I've had a bad stomach and bad teeth since I was a child, and I can't eat hard food." Faced with ridicule, Lin Fan just responded with a faint smile.
"Mr. Lin, you really know how to joke." Lu Zhen said with a smile.
"If Mr. Lin is really bored, I can help you find a job." Lu Zhen suggested.
"No thanks. I'm enjoying my life now." Lin Fan refused easily.
"Young Master Lu is showing you a favor by recommending you a job. Why are you so ungrateful?" The person behind Lu Zhen said sarcastically.
He didn't dare say much to Shen Wei, but he was very rude to Lin Fan.
"Oh? Does refusing mean being ungrateful?" Lin Fan asked in confusion.
"Zhao Ziqing doesn't mind me doing this, so who do you think you are?" Lin Fan asked back.
These words made the man furious. Even Lu Zhen narrowed his eyes, obviously touched by these words.
"Don't you feel ashamed for a grown man to live on a woman?" someone else asked provocatively.
"I rely on my woman, not your mother. What do I have to be ashamed of?" Lin Fan looked directly at the other party and responded calmly.
"Enough!" The man was enraged and was about to attack when Lu Zhen stopped him calmly.
"Since Mr. Lin doesn't need a job, forget it. I was just worrying too much."
"Not meddling in other people's business is a virtue, what do you think, Master Lu?" Lin Fan replied with a smile on his face.
"That's right. We shouldn't meddle in other people's business." Lu Zhen nodded in agreement.
"Sometimes, interfering too much in other people's affairs can be dangerous," Lu Zhen added.
