Chapter 458: The Jin Family of Dongcheng
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Lu Li looked at Jin Han from time to time. His move was so obvious that Jin Han who had always been vigilant frowned and took a look at him. Lu Li didn’t withdraw his gaze but smiled at Jin Han. He stood up and went to sit down beside Jin Han. “Mind talking with me?”
Wen Ning gave him a surprised look. Lu Li was not that kind of person who would take the initiative to accost a stranger. Li Manyan was also surprised but didn’t ask anything. She looked at Wen Ning who was also looking at her and smiled.
Wen Ning gave her a polite smile, took back her gaze and took a sip of the wine.
Jin Han and Lu Li walked to the balcony. Lu Li took a sip of the wine and looked at Jin Han who remained silent. “I found that you were familiar to me the first time I saw you.”
Jin Han frowned, straightened up and took a look at Lu Li. Lu Li was a bit older than Qiao Liang and was already 33, while Jin Han had just graduated from college and only 23. He didn’t remember seeing Lu Li before now.
Jin Han frowned. “I don’t know anyone whose family name is Lu, especially you, Mr. Lu, a celebrity, so you must have mistaken me with someone else.”
Lu Li smiled and nodded.” That’s possible, but what if my family name is actually not Lu? I changed my name after I disowned my family.”
“What do you mean?” Jin Han looked at Lu Li and frowned. “I don’t understand you.”
Lu Li smiled and shook his head. “You don’t have to understand me, but may I ask, is Mr. Jin Han from The Jin Family of Dongcheng?”

Jin Han’s face darkened and he narrowed his eyes at Lu Li. The latter smiled. “It seems that my guess is right, but I wonder why the Jin Family people will allow one of their kids to study out of town and even make an outlander his girlfriend. That’s strange.”
Dongcheng was a city in the east of China, where the Jin Family was the boss. And the Jin Family had a rule that their descendants must not leave Dongcheng or marry a non-native. They could only marry native girls.
Although this rule was absurd, anyone breaking the rule would be expelled out of the Jin Family…
Jin Han narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Li. “Mr. Lu seems to know my family well.”
Not expecting that Jin Han would admit it so easily, Lu Li turned up the corners of his mouth and smiled. “Sure, I know all weird families in the world well.” Then the smile on his face was gone. He narrowed his eyes at Jin Han and turned his eyes to Li Manyan. “But, Mr. Jin, have you ever thought if your family knows you are seeing a non-native girl, what will happen to her?”
Jin Han frowned and Lu Li smiled. “Sure, if she is pregnant, they will agree to you marrying her, but… I guess when your child is over ten years old, her last day is coming… Am I right?” Lu Li paused, drank up the wine and looked at Jin Han. “Just like your third aunt and her son.”
“How do you know this?!” This matter was his family’s secret. Except the family members, all the others who knew the truth of that “accident” had disappeared. The master of his family banned anyone talking about this matter. His third uncle still thought that was really an accident. He knew the truth because he accidentally overheard the conversation of the elders of the family…

Fortunately, he was only four years old back them. They didn’t think he would understand what they were talking about, so they didn’t silence him…
After that accident, that elder brother who liked taking him out and his third aunt who often made cupcake for him disappeared. They told him they died.
It was such an appalling secret that only the elders of his family knew the truth. How could Lu Li come to know this?
Jin Han turn pale and a thunderstorm was gathering in his eyes. Seeing his look, Lu Li narrowed his eyes and said, “Your name is actually not Jin Han, is it? If my guess is right, your name is Jin Che, the only son of the fifth son of the Jin Family.”
Jin Han clenched his hands. He didn’t expect Lu Li had known his real identity. “How did you know my real identity?”
Lu Li smiled and shook the glass, saying, “It’s easy for me to find out anything I want to know, but… don’t worry, Mr. Jin. I don’t mean to threaten you or coerce you. I just want to advise you that if you can’t bring that girl happiness, at least don’t bring her disaster. An innocent girl like her won’t be able to survive the power of the Jin Family.”
After a short pause, he continued, “But this absurd rule should be removed. If you want to do it, I’d love to give you a hand.”
“Who are you?” Jin Han looked at him vigilantly. He didn’t like this feeling. He had been the smartest among his cousins. He could easily see through people, but he couldn’t figure out what this Lu Li was thinking of. He had checked Lu Li’s information, but there was very little information about him, whereas Lu Li seemed to know him well, and know everything about the Jin Family. He must be careful in front of this guy!
Lu Li looked at him and shook his head with a smile. “Haha, I like people giving me this look, which brings me a sense of accomplishment, but… not you.” He paused and continued, “You know who I am. I’m Lu Li. They usually call me Mr. Seven. That’s not because I’m the seventh son of my family but because seven is my lucky number.”
