128: Chapter 128 The Disabled CEO's Benefactor 25

After a moment, everyone's expressions gradually returned to normal, and then they stepped forward one after another, offering their sincere congratulations and best wishes with full faces of sincerity.

If it were any other matter, Fu Jinghan certainly would not have had the patience to deal with it, but these blessings filled with good intentions were different.

Just listening to them filled Fu Jinghan's heart with joy and warmth, and a faint smile involuntarily appeared on his face; he smiled and thanked everyone one by one.

Lu Zhan stayed quietly by Fu Jinghan's side from beginning to end, his expression cool and calm, his posture neither humble nor arrogant; he basically didn't speak much, only occasionally clinking glasses with others and giving a slight nod to acknowledge them.

He was almost unfamiliar with anyone at the banquet; among the crowd that came to offer congratulations earlier, he had only exchanged a few simple pleasantries with Director Xu, Manager Wang Fang, and Assistant Yang Chen.

Lu Zhan actually didn't like this kind of occasion. After accompanying Fu Jinghan to deal with it for a while, he softly greeted Fu Jinghan and then slowly walked away.

He looked around and saw Manager Wang Fang enjoying the food at the dining table, thinking it would be better not to disturb her.

The corner where Assistant Yang Chen was staying looked quite good—quiet enough and sufficiently hidden; Lu Zhan walked with steady steps straight in that direction.

When Assistant Yang Chen saw Lu Zhan walking over, a look of excitement instantly appeared on his face; he hurriedly stood up to greet him, his voice filled with a hint of delight.

"Brother Zhan, why did you come over?"

Lu Zhan's expression softened slightly; he raised his hand to gently pat the other's shoulder, then walked over to sit on a nearby sofa and parted his lips slightly.

"You know, I'm not very good at socializing. Have you been doing well these past three years?"

His soft words carried a hint of concern.

"Brother Zhan, I'm doing great! It's just that I often miss the days when I was your assistant. Those days were so happy every day. Brother Zhan, you are really such a great person!"

Assistant Yang Chen said with a touch of emotion.

Lu Zhan slowly picked up his wine glass, took a light sip, and then spoke leisurely.

"Three years have passed, and you still have such a way with words."

Upon hearing this, Assistant Yang Chen scratched his head in embarrassment, then leaned in slightly, his expression becoming serious as he lowered his voice.

"Brother Zhan, I once, by a turn of Opportunity, happened to hear a rumor about President Fu. I had wanted to tell you for a long time.

But I was afraid I wouldn't be able to explain it clearly over the phone, and President Fu was there just now, so it wasn't convenient for me to say much. Fortunately, you came over, Brother Zhan.

I'm not sure if the news is true, but it's a serious matter. If it were anyone else, I definitely wouldn't say anything to avoid bringing trouble upon myself.

But since you are together with President Fu, Brother Zhan, I feel it's necessary to tell you."

A rumor? Lu Zhan couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be another romantic affair he didn't know about? With a hint of confusion in his eyes, he asked with a slightly urgent tone.

"What news? Tell me, let me hear it."

Assistant Yang Chen scanned his surroundings vigilantly, and after confirming there was no one around, he lowered his voice and spoke slowly.

"Brother Zhan, when I was working as Bai Xue's assistant, I once went to pick her up from a high-end club and accidentally heard someone say that there was something wrong with President Fu's legs."

A flash of shock suddenly crossed Lu Zhan's eyes; his first reaction was to think that this was impossible.

However, he couldn't help but recall details from the past that he hadn't carefully scrutinized before.

On the day he was brought back to the country, Fu Jinghan, in order to prevent him from touching his legs, reacted so excessively that he bruised Lu Zhan's hand.

Even in the height of summer, Fu Jinghan was always dressed impeccably at home, never revealing anything.

Fu Jinghan's pace was always unhurried, and he had never climbed stairs in front of him.

And there were many more...

All these anomalies seemed to be subtly pointing to one fact.

The emotions in Lu Zhan's heart were already surging intensely, but on the surface, he still tried his best to maintain that cool and detached appearance, and continued to ask.

"Assistant Yang Chen, such major news, logically speaking, should have been all over town by now. Why is no one mentioning it?"

Upon hearing this, Assistant Yang Chen didn't think too much and said with a very serious expression.

"Brother Zhan, I heard that person say it seemed that before it could spread, it was forcibly suppressed, and the people involved were also warned and threatened.

I just don't know if it was President Fu who did it. If it wasn't because it concerned you, Brother Zhan, with my status, I would never dare to mention it."

After finishing, Assistant Yang Chen raised his head and scanned the surroundings again, confirming once more that his previous words hadn't been overheard by anyone else.

These words, combined with the many details he recalled, made Lu Zhan certain in his heart that this news was true, not false.

He had asked Fu Jinghan so many times, yet the other party chose to lie, deceiving him time and time again; even today, there was no sign of any intention to confess to him.

Regardless of the reason, this kind of deception and lack of trust from Fu Jinghan made him very Life Qi.

He was clearly already trying hard to get closer to him...

Thinking of this, Lu Zhan couldn't help but feel a bit upset and disappointed.

Due to the fluctuation of his emotions, the coldness around Lu Zhan intensified, and a flash of cold light flickered in his eyes, but he still tried his best to maintain his outward calmness.

"Assistant Yang Chen, I understand what you've said, but this news cannot be true. I've seen it; Brother Han's legs are perfectly fine, there are no issues at all."

Assistant Yang Chen had no doubts about Lu Zhan's words; he had always blindly trusted Lu Zhan, and he wore a sincere and bright smile on his face as he said softly.

"That's good then, Brother Zhan, it was just me overthinking."

Although he couldn't suppress his anger at this moment and was eager to go and confront Fu Jinghan.

But he truly couldn't bring himself to make the other party lose face in public or leave him in an awkward, untenable position.

Lu Zhan frowned slightly, picked up his wine glass as a cover, took a light sip, and using this action, tried to contain his surging emotions, replying in a calm tone.

"It's fine, I know you have my best interests at heart."

Afterward, the two ended this topic.

Assistant Yang Chen had a hint of excitement on his face, animatedly telling Lu Zhan about the interesting things that had happened in the entertainment industry over the past two or three years, and also briefly introduced a few currently very popular celebrities.

Not far away, Fu Jinghan was holding a glass of red wine elegantly in his right hand, chatting with everyone with ease and composure.

But his peripheral vision was tightly fixed on Lu Zhan's figure, never once moving away from beginning to end.

In his heart, he was secretly pondering.

Why is A-Zhan chatting so happily with that Assistant Yang Chen? This really made him feel very uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to interfere with A-Zhan's friendships, so he could only sulk in secret...

Time flew by in this exchange of words, and unknowingly, the night gradually deepened.

The banquet finally reached the time to end, and the guests left the luxurious and exquisite manor one after another.
