Chasing His Ex: The Tycoon's Hidden Twins

At Lu Fan’s prompting, Jiang Silu ordered a few dishes she wanted to eat.

Lu Fan was also considerate of the other two girls, smiling. "Come on, whatever you want to eat, just order it."

"Okay! Thank you, Uncle Lu." Lu Yao was the most excited.

She eagerly went up to the menu. As she looked at the dazzling array of dishes, her eyes lit up.

Song Miaomiao, who was beside her, was clearly a little embarrassed. "Uncle Lu, you all can just order. I’m fine with anything."

Lu Fan smiled. "In that case, I’ll order another portion of what Silu got for you."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Lu," Song Miaomiao said gratefully.

Lu Yao then asked, "Uncle Lu, can I order this salmon sashimi to try?"

"Of course."

"Awesome! \(^o^)/~ Thank you, Uncle Lu!"

Seeing Lu Yao being so forward, Song Miaomiao took the opportunity to whisper, "Yaoyao, he’s Lulu’s elder. We shouldn’t be so overly familiar."

"It’s fine. Uncle Lu and Lulu won’t mind." Lu Yao didn’t take Song Miaomiao’s words seriously, instead cherishing this hard-won opportunity.

Seeing that Lu Yao was a lost cause, Song Miaomiao couldn’t be bothered with her anymore.

Before long, the waiters brought out the sashimi, sushi, and other delicacies one by one.

Lu Yao and Song Miaomiao both took out their phones in unison and started taking all sorts of pictures.

Although Jiang Silu was a little embarrassed, she had, after all, never been to such a high-class establishment and had never even seen a sashimi platter like this before.

She also took out her phone, secretly snapped a couple of pictures, and thought about showing them to her brother and mother later.

Lu Fan noticed and took the initiative to say, "Come on, let’s eat."

"Thank you, Uncle Lu!" Lu Yao, never one to be shy, thanked him and immediately started to dig in.

"Mmm~~ So delicious~~~" Lu Yao then looked at Jiang Silu and said, "Lulu, thank you so, so much. If it weren’t for you and Uncle Lu, I would have never gotten to eat such amazing Japanese food."

Lu Fan just smiled. "Then you should eat more."

As he spoke, he also picked up a piece of sushi, placed it on Jiang Silu’s plate, and said, "This piece of sushi is very good. You should try it."

"Okay." Jiang Silu picked up the sushi, took a couple of bites, and nodded. "It really is delicious."

"If you like it, eat more. Don’t be polite," Lu Fan urged.

Perhaps because of the gentle lead-in, Jiang Silu gradually began to relax.

She also started to focus her attention on the delicious food on the table.

These were all foods she had never eaten before.

Of course, compared to her mother’s cooking, Jiang Yixia’s meals were still more appealing.

But eating these kinds of dishes was more of a life experience.

Especially for first-year university girls like them.

In the future, when chatting with friends, they could offer their opinion: "I went to that high-end Japanese restaurant before. I thought it was pretty good, especially their sashimi platter. It was to die for!"

Jiang Silu wasn’t particularly vain.

But she was a young woman, after all; it was only normal to like new things.

When a guy finds a restaurant he likes, he’ll eat there for a year or even longer.

But when a girl finds a restaurant she likes, even if it’s delicious, she’ll still want to try a new place she’s never been to.

This was the difference between guys and girls.

Seeing the three girls eating happily, Lu Fan asked, "What sort of extracurricular activities do you all have after your classes?"

Lu Yao immediately reported, "Uncle Lu, I go dancing after my classes."

As she spoke, she did a chest expansion exercise with her arms.

It seemed as if she was showing off her figure to Lu Fan.

But Lu Fan just smiled and turned his attention to his own daughter, wanting to hear about her daily life at university.

But Jiang Silu didn’t say much, probably because she was too shy to join the conversation.

It was Song Miaomiao who spoke up from the side. "After class, I usually just watch dramas in the dorm. I’m pretty laid-back."

Then, she pointed at Jiang Silu and said, "But Lulu’s different. Lulu is super serious about her studies. Every time she gets back to the dorm after class, she has to review everything."

Lu Fan was very pleased to hear this.

Song Miaomiao continued, "And Lulu joined the Landscape Architecture Cup competition in her freshman year. She gets to submit a design for it, and she’s been busy with it these past few days. If it weren’t for that annoying senior, Lulu might have even made it onto the project’s member list..."

At this point, Jiang Silu gestured for her to stop talking.

Lu Fan immediately sensed that something was wrong.

However, he didn’t press the issue. He could see that Jiang Silu didn’t seem to want to talk about it.

Soon, the Japanese feast came to an end.

Before leaving, Jiang Silu hesitated for a moment, then quietly asked Lu Fan, "Did that cost a lot of money?"

"Not much, it’s fine," Lu Fan reassured her. "You’ve never experienced this before, so I’m taking you to experience it now. No matter how much it costs, I think it’s worth it."

Jiang Silu bit her lower lip. Perhaps his words had moved her because, before she left, she finally thanked him, "Thank you for the treat today."

After hearing this, Lu Fan smiled as well. "Silly girl, why are you thanking me? This is what I should be doing. These are things I should have started doing eighteen years ago."

He then signaled for Chen He to drive the three girls back to the university.

"Goodbye, Uncle Lu!~" Lu Yao was the most enthusiastic, waving her hand nonstop.

And while Song Miaomiao didn’t say anything, she also smiled and waved.

Only Jiang Silu seemed to be lost in a tangle of emotions, keeping her head down.

After they left, Lu Fan called Jiali.

"Hey, Jiali, did Silu join a Landscape Architecture Cup competition? Help me look into it. Is someone bullying her?"

"Boss, based on our prior information, the Young Miss did indeed join a Landscape Architecture Cup competition. But as for whether someone is bullying her, I’ll have to immediately ask Lao Liu and his people at Jinling University."

"Alright. Tell me what you find."

"Understood."

An hour later, Jiali called back.

"Boss, just three hours ago, the Young Miss had her first meeting with the seniors from her department to discuss the competition design. However, a fourth-year senior named Shen Hong felt the Young Miss’s design skills were lacking and her thinking wasn’t up to par. She also said the Young Miss couldn’t be on the list of project members, meaning she wants her to help out but just be a tag-along," Jiali explained succinctly.

After hearing this, Lu Fan immediately said, "Help me contact some of the veterans in the landscape design field. Have them make time to visit Jinling University tomorrow under the pretext of giving a lecture to the landscape architecture department. Then, they can give Silu some special guidance. Oh, and by the way, find a leader at Jinling University and have that Shen Hong person removed from the design group."

"Yes, Boss." Understanding her boss’s intentions, Jiali immediately got to work.

And so, overnight, a message appeared in the Jinling University Landscape Architecture department’s WeChat group.

The counselor, Teacher Chen, had tagged everyone: "@all The renowned landscape planning and design educator, Teacher Meng, will be giving our landscape architecture department an open lecture tomorrow. Please be prepared!"

The freshmen who saw the news weren’t too surprised.

But the sophomores, juniors, and seniors in the group all went wild.

"Elder Meng is coming to our Jinling University?"

"Holy crap, Elder Meng is coming?!"

"Oh my god, our department heads are amazing! They actually managed to get Elder Meng to give us a lecture!!"

One of the freshmen asked, "Who’s Elder Meng?"

"The ’Landscape Engineering’ textbook you’re using in class right now? He’s the one who wrote it. Get it now? A titan! He’s a titan in the field of landscape architecture!!"

In an instant, the students were all buzzing with excitement.

Meanwhile, the counselor, Teacher Chen, also sent a private message to Jiang Silu: "Silu, Elder Meng just asked me for the freshmen’s design drafts. He said your design concepts are excellent and you have a lot of potential. He wants to talk to you after his lecture tomorrow, is that okay?"

Right now, Jiang Silu was staring at the message from Teacher Chen, so shocked she couldn’t believe her eyes.

’A titan of the field saw my design drafts and wants to talk to me?’

’But... I was just criticized by a senior this afternoon.’

Jiang Silu had experienced great sorrow and great joy all in one day.

’But all in all, my luck seems to be pretty good, doesn’t it?’

’Could there really be a Lady Luck?’
