Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 102 Double Standards
It's Muan Psychological Counseling Center again.

The day before Yin Hailan committed suicide, she received psychological counseling at this mental health institution. The following day, she cut her wrists alone at home.

Wen Cheng clearly did not have any symptoms of anxiety disorder, yet he had a business card from Mu'an Psychological Counseling Center and medication for treating anxiety disorder.

The key issue is that psychologists do not have prescription rights or the authority to prescribe medication. If it were a psychiatrist in a regular hospital, they would certainly not misdiagnose or prescribe such medications arbitrarily. So where did his lorazepam come from?

What untold secrets lie behind this?

Is it a coincidence that Yin Hailan and Wen Cheng both visited this psychological counseling center, or is there some connection?

My thoughts were a jumbled mess, a jumble of guesses piling up in my mind, yet I couldn't sort them out no matter what I did.

Wen Ye said with a bright smile, "Miss Wei, may I invite you to dinner?"

She came to her senses and was about to speak when she heard Lu Jingming say coldly, "Wei Qingsong, come here."

"Oh," Wei Qingsong responded in a drawn-out tone, slowly walking over to his side, one hand resting on the table, looking down at him with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Lu Jingming: "..."

How dare you ask him what's wrong?
She must have done it on purpose.

Wen Ye shamelessly followed, saying, "Miss Wei, you haven't answered me yet."

He said to himself, "There's a newly opened Western restaurant nearby, and I hear it's always packed. Shall we go together?"

"No." Lu Jingming refused without hesitation on her behalf.

"Why?" Wen Ye frowned, his handsome brows furrowing.

Lu Jingming's gaze swept indifferently across his face, and he stood up with an extremely natural movement, taking Wei Qingsong's hand: "Because she wants to stay with me."

Wen Ye: "..."

He gave a dry laugh, his brain momentarily blank.

Shen Fu told him that Wei Qingsong already had a boyfriend and that he should give up on him as soon as possible, but he didn't listen at all.

He firmly believed that among the talented young people in Tangzhou, those who were more handsome than him were definitely not as rich as him, and those who were richer than him were definitely not as handsome as him.

With his good looks and wealth, wouldn't it be easy for him to steal someone away from another family?
If this corner belongs to Lu Jingming, then he really has no idea what's going on.

Although he had only interacted with Lu Jingming a few times, he could tell that Lu Jingming was different from the other playboy friends he knew.

The only thing he couldn't understand was why Wei Qingsong was with Lu Jingming!
This unscientific!

He admitted that Lu Jingming was indeed outstanding in appearance and had an excellent temperament.

But he always has a blank, deadpan expression and exudes an aura of being destined to be single. Can someone like that really fall in love?

"As you can see." As if sensing his doubt, Lu Jingming said calmly.

Wen Ye was struck dumb, his eyes wide with disbelief. He stood there stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

He forced an ugly smile and looked at Wei Qingsong: "Advisor Wei, do you think I still have a chance?"

Wei Qingsong suppressed his smile and said seriously, "I'm sorry, although I have a weak moral compass, I would never do something as immoral as infidelity."

Wen Ye muttered unwillingly, "Are you really not going to consider me? In terms of assets, I can definitely beat him. As for looks, we're about equal, right? I've been the school heartthrob since I was a kid."

Shen Fu couldn't stand it anymore and rolled her eyes: "School heartthrob? More like a sloppy grass."

Wen Ye stroked his chin, pondered seriously for a few seconds, and then looked completely innocent: "Aren't they all the same kind of grass?"

Shen Fu remained silent.

She reached out and pulled Wen Ye aside: "That's enough. Don't you have any sense? Can't you see how loving our Songsong and Captain Lu are? Interfering? Don't even think about it."

"No..." Wen Ye tried to interrupt again, unwilling to give up.

Shen Fu interrupted him without hesitation: "Well, Songsong, I've delivered the afternoon tea as promised. I was originally planning to have dinner with you, but I'm worried that someone will hold a grudge against me for stealing his female companion, so I'll pass. You should spend the day with Captain Lu. I'll see you next time."

"Hey, I..." Wen Ye peeked out from behind Shen Fu, as if he wanted to say something.

Shen Fu covered his mouth and pressed his head back, saying, "I won't disturb you anymore, I'm leaving now."

So, in full view of everyone, Wen Ye was dragged out by the back of the neck by Shen Fu.

As they reached the door, Shen Fu remembered something and turned around, saying, "By the way, Songsong, that newly opened Western restaurant is really good, very popular with young couples. It's right next to Xunji Shop, you and Captain Lu can try it together."

"Okay." Wei Qingsong smiled and waved goodbye to her.

Everyone in the conference room kept their eyes down, quietly eating their snacks.

A single person's dog food paired with an expensive afternoon tea is a wonderful combination that brings a double stimulation to both the taste buds and the mind, truly a rewarding experience.

Lu Jingming smiled slightly, letting out a soft chuckle, and looked down at her: "So, do you want to come with me?"

Wei Qingsong covered her mouth and coughed lightly, suppressing the slight upturn of her lips: "I'll reluctantly agree since you invited me so sincerely."

"If that's too much to ask, then let's forget about it." Lu Jingming raised an eyebrow and said before turning to walk out.

"Hey, how come you have so little willpower? Don't you even know what perseverance means?" Wei Qingsong quickly followed after him.

She was about to give him a good lecture when she was suddenly pulled into his arms.

Lu Jingming's cheerful voice rang out above him: "Just kidding. Let's go, I'll take you to find some food."

Everyone silently shook off their goosebumps.

"Is Captain Lu possessed by a ghost?"

"Did the sun rise in the west today?"

"What a bizarre art style. Are you sure this is Captain Lu himself?"

"...Let's eat quickly. I have a feeling that after this meal, I might not live to eat the next one."

In a corner of the conference room, Chen Jin let out a peculiar burp, tossed the empty shell into a plastic bag, and smiled broadly.

After eating and drinking his fill, he walked out with a satisfied look on his face, muttering to himself, "These silly kids will never understand the joy of being in God's shoes."

If I can't even handle this much, how am I going to get used to it?

He couldn't help but start reminiscing about the past.

When he was in college, Lu Jingming was already a well-known master of double standards.

When dealing with complete strangers, his face would never show any expression other than indifference.

Only in front of Wei Qingsong could he display any expression other than indifference.

-

The Western restaurant recommended by Shen Fu and Wen Ye is called "Starlight". It is very luxurious and does not look inferior at all next to the magnificent century-old Xun Ji restaurant.

The restaurant is decorated mainly in white and gold tones, creating a harmonious overall atmosphere. The oil paintings hanging on the walls are all of excellent quality.

In the center of the hall, a giant crystal chandelier hangs high in the air, with a white piano placed beneath it.

A young girl in a white wool dress sat before the piano, smiling and focused. Her fair hands pressed on the keys, and a beautiful melody flowed out.

Wei Qingsong and Lu Jingming sat not far away, enjoying the beautiful and melodious piano music.

As the evening sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows, it shone on the white piano, reflecting a pale golden halo.

Thank you to Fengfyh, Lanxin, Yundanfengqing, Feiye, 82, and Rui for the monthly tickets.
