Chapter 596 - 596: He Hong
Lu Zhen woke up and said goodbye to Jiang Nan. She took the train to the city and took a taxi to the airport. When the plane landed, it was Jiang Fei who came to the airport to pick up Lu Zhen. However, there was a young woman standing beside Jiang Fei. The woman looked to be in her twenties, but the woman’s eyes made Lu Zhen feel that she should be more mature than she looked.
Lu Zhen hesitated for a few seconds as she rushed towards Jiang Fei. Jiang Fei walked to Lu Zhen’s side and took her luggage. He introduced,
“Ningning, this is your Aunt He Hong. Xiao Hong, this is Lu Zhen.”
He Hong reached out to Lu Zhen and pouted unhappily at Jiang Fei. “Am I at the age to be an auntie? Can’t Ningning call me sister?”
Jiang Fei smiled. “You have to pay attention to seniority. This has nothing to do with age.”
Lu Zhen shook He Hongs hand and smiled politely. Then, the three of them got into the car. Before getting into the car, He Hong sat in the back seat.
Lu Zhen’s eyes paused for a few seconds.
Jiang Fei did not sense anything wrong and said to Lu Zhen, “Then have a chat with your Aunt Hong. You’re not too different in age, so you should have a lot in common.”
Lu Zhen sat in the back seat of the car and smelled He Hongs faint perfume. It was sweet and difficult to feel disgusted.
He Hong chatted with Lu Zhen enthusiastically, as if she was very curious about Lu Zhen’s experience. She asked about Lu Zhen’s work arrangements for next year from the few movies she had filmed before.
Lu Zhen replied patiently, looking a little reserved and smiling shyly. When they arrived at Jiang Fei’s house, He Hong also got out of the car. She smiled brightly and mischievously at Jiang Fei. “Brother Fei, I’ve already grown up. You won’t find me annoying anymore, right?”
Jiang Fei smiled gently. “1 didn’t find you annoying in the past.”
The two of them spoke one after another. Lu Zhen stood at the side and listened quietly without interrupting. After entering the house, Jiang Fei arranged for to wash up and rest. “You must be exhausted. Hurry up
and sleep for a while.”
Lu Zhen nodded and looked in the direction of the other room. She hesitated for a few seconds and asked, “Is Aunt He Hong staying at our house too?”
“Yes, she’ll be staying for a few days before returning to Hua City.” “Is she from the Jiang family? Why didn’t you tell me, Dad?”
“She’s been overseas for many years. I didn’t expect her to suddenly come back. Moreover, you haven’t seen any of the other relatives in the family. She’s not related to you, so I didn’t expect to tell you. Her father was your grandfather’s comrade in the army. He died in the line of duty, so your grandfather adopted her. That’s why she grew up in the Jiang family,” Jiang Fei explained in a gentle tone.
Lu Zhen nodded. So that was what happened.
“Okay, Dad. I’m going to take a shower. You should rest early too,”
Lu Zhen returned to her room, took a shower, and lay on the bed. He Hongs smile appeared in her mind again. He Hongs smile at her was clearly extremely bright, but for some reason, Lu Zhen felt a trace of coldness in the depths of her heart.
Although she was a little tired, Lu Zhen could not fall asleep. It was just dark. Lu Zhen turned on her cell phone and asked Song Jia, “Are you at the company?”
“No, I’m at your brother’s place. Why?” Song Jia replied quickly.
“My brother?” Lu Zhen was stunned.
Song Jia explained, “The bar we met last time was opened by your brother.”
“My brother owns that bar?”
Lu Zhen thought of the glass of wine that made her muster her courage to be with Song Jia and did not know what to say. It turned out that the person who indirectly brought her and Song Jia together was her brother, Jiang Kai.
“Why are you going to the bar?” Lu Zhen asked again.
“It’s Bei Mu’s birthday.”
Lu Zhen sat up from the bed. “Bei Mu’s birthday? Why didn’t you tell me?” “You just came back from Country B. Why am 1 telling you this?”
Lu Zhen gritted her teeth. “Even if I don’t have time to go to the event location to celebrate his birthday, I can give him a birthday gift in advance.”
“There’s no need for you to give him. It’s the same as me giving him one,” Song Jia replied.
“How is that the same?”
Song Jia was silent for two seconds before saying, “You haven’t even given me a birthday gift. Why should you give it to him first?”
Lu Zhen was stunned. She did not expect Song Jia to have such thoughts..
