In the evening, Lu Lijun went out to meet Jake and Noah as they planned to go somewhere out to spend time together.
Jiang Yuyan was not home as she didn't return home after the party the previous night, and Lu Lijun kept thinking about her whereabouts.
He knew she spent her weekends out of Lu Mansion, but she used to be home after elder Lu asked her to be home since he returned.
Feeling restless the entire day, finally, Lu Lijun stepped out of the home, hoping to forget about it and to enjoy with his friends.
The three met in one of the famous pubs where they booked the private room, which had a small bar counter and music playing there.
Jake and Noah reached earlier and waited for Lu Lijun, who reached there too.
"Why do you look so down?" Noah asked, observing the silent but cold-looking guy.
"It's nothing," Lu Lijun replied and stepped to go inside.
Noah and Jake followed him. Crossing the huge place filled with loud music and so many people, they went towards the staircase to go to the private rooms upstairs.
One man in a black suit welcomed them and guided them towards one private room. While crossing the corridor, they heard noises from one room as the door opened when one attendant carried the drinks inside.
Noah noticed something and stopped.
Jake asked, "What happened?"
"You two go ahead. I'll be there in a moment," said Noah as he looked back at the room.
Lu Lijun and Jake left while Noah had a mischievous smile on his lips.
In a while, Noah returned to the room where Jake and Lu Lijun waited for him. The spacious room with dim lights, a circular couch kept in the center, and the bar on one side.
Looking around the room and feeling happy, Noah spoke, "Brother Tian always suggests nice places.
Ignoring him, Jake asked, "Where did you go?" and Lu Lijun waited to hear it too.
"To see something interesting," Noah replied.
Not getting the specific answer, the two friends glared at him.
"Few people indulged in some not-so-appropriate actions. Do you want me to elaborate?" Noah replied as he winked at them.
The two frowned and replied at the same time, "Keep it to yourself."
Noah smiled teasingly, "I knew it, that's why…"
"Talk something else," again the other two said at the same time.
"Let me get the drink first." Saying, Noah stood up and went to a small bar in the room where the bar attendant was ready to serve.
Noah returned with the drinks and passed one to Jake while he gave Lu Lijun juice as the three started to talk.
Sometime passed by as the three were busy remembering the days in England and the time they spent together. The three looked happy and looked like they were out of their worries.
Suddenly the door of the room opened, and three young men barged inside the room. It surprised Lu Lijun and Jake while Noah was calm.
"We heard the fourth young master is here today, so we came to greet him," spoke one guy, and the two next to him smiled, "Yes."
Lu Lijun frowned and looked the other way, thinking, 'How did they get here?'
The three shamelessly walked towards the couch, "We are here to be your friends, but you are ignoring us," said the other as he chuckled, "It hurts, you know."
There were sly smiles on their faces that showed they came there for nothing but to trouble Lu Lijun.
The third one noticed what was in Lu Lijun's hand, "But why are you drinking juice?"
Annoyingly, Lu Lijun kept the glass in his hand on the table, and the three laughed, "Seems like we were right."
"If you are done greeting, then leave," said Lu Lijun.
Lu Lijun tried to bear it as he didn't wish to have a fight that would cause trouble for Jiang Yuyan as they were other business families' sons.
"We are here to greet Prince Jake, too," the first guy said and the three sat in the that huge circular couch, opposite to the Jake, Noah and Lu Lijun.
Jake stayed quiet as he knew they were nothing but a nuisance to his friend.
Not getting any reaction from Jake, the other guy asked, "Didn't you say you want to know Lu Lijun's friends?"
Before Jake could reply, Lu Lijun answered, "He was mistaken about us being friends."
Jake didn't even spare the glance to the three and continued drinking calmly. The three understood he was not interested in them.
The three guys laughed to hide their embarrassment and then looked at Noah, who sat as if he wasn't concerned with what was going on and enjoyed the drink.
"Lu Lijun, if we are not your friends, then is that assistant of yours your friend?" one of the three asked.
"Seems like after going to England, you caught up with bad choices for people," the other one commented and the other two laughed.
"What do his parents do? He is your assistant, so I'm sure he is not even rich," the third one spoke.
Lu Lijun and Jake were about to get up, ready to beat the guy, but Noah spoke, "Let's not create trouble for President Lu."
Noah looked calm, and it pissed those three guys even more.
"Are you a son of a poor family who leeches off of his rich friends?" the first guy asked.
Noah chuckled as he sipped on the drink and spoke calmly, not even looking at the three, "better than being a useless and idiot son of the rich of family."
It made them feel as if Noah looked down on them and angered them even more.
Lu Lijun and Jake stayed silent as they understood Noah wanted to handle it on his own.
Jake and Lu Lijun looked at each other with meaningful gazes as if they were talking to each other.
Jake: It seems like these three are going to suffer.
Lu Lijun: Let's just enjoy the show.
"Poor kids." Saying together, the two leaned back on the sofa, ready to enjoy what would happen with the three guys.
