This novel was adapted into a short drama called "Red Fruit," which can be searched for.
Lu Chi was an 18th-tier celebrity who finally got the chance to appear on a dating reality sho...
Lu Sangning made more than a dozen calls, but Zhang Yong did not answer any of them.
Lu Sangning sent another message to Zhang Yong.
What are you doing? Why aren't you answering the phone?
Still no reply.
Lu Sangning began to feel uneasy.
Seeing that she hadn't come out of the bathroom, Lu Yanxin knocked on the door from outside: "Big sister, what's wrong?"
Lu Sangning felt a little uneasy, but when she heard Lu Yanxin calling her, she calmed herself down and opened the door for Lu Yanxin.
"I'm fine."
Lu Yanxin sighed: "Big sister, Lu Chi said something like 'zzzzzz...' Don't take it to heart."
Lu Sangning shook her head, her tone somewhat disappointed: "Yan Xin, I just called Zhang Yong."
Lu Yanxin asked, "What did he say?"
Lu Sangning shook her head and handed her phone's call log to Lu Yanxin: "I made more than a dozen calls but she didn't answer, and she didn't reply to my messages either."
Lu Yanxin was beginning to believe Lu Chi's thoughts, but without evidence, she couldn't speculate wildly for the time being.
All she could do was comfort Lu Sangning: "Don't take it to heart, sister. Maybe he's busy right now and can't explain it clearly. You'll know when he calls you back later."
Lu Sangning nodded, though she felt uneasy, she still hummed in agreement.
The two returned to the living room, where the dining room had already finished their meal.
Pan Feng said to Wang Ma, "Wang Ma, go and tidy up Chi'er's room."
"Yes, madam."
Lu Chi was sitting on the sofa eating fruit after his meal when Pan Feng came over and said to him, "Chi'er, come with Mom and Dad to see your room."
Lu Chi nodded and followed Pan Feng and Lu Yuanqing upstairs.
The Lu family mansion covers an area of 5,000 square meters and has three floors.
Each floor has more than ten rooms.
The first floor houses the living area, gym, swimming pool, and quarters for servants and bodyguards.
The second floor contains the rooms for Lu Yuanqing and his wife, as well as an entertainment area, a study, a piano room, and more.
The third floor houses the rooms of the five daughters and the fake young master, Lu Jiyang.
Lu Chi followed Pan Feng up to the third floor, and he was full of admiration for the luxuriousness of the room.
When he saw his room, his face beamed with a smile as bright as a flower.
Grand! Luxurious! Comfortable!
This is Lu Chi's evaluation of his bedroom.
A soft and comfortable king-size bed, and large floor-to-ceiling windows.
There's a soft little sofa next to the bed, and in front of the sofa is a uniquely designed coffee table.
[Awesome, that's so awesome!]
Lu Yuanqing and Pan Feng were very satisfied with Lu Chi's performance.
I'm glad my son likes this room; I was worried he wouldn't like it.
Pan Feng walked out of the bedroom and called out to Lu Chi, "Chi'er, there's another terrace outside."
Lu Chi followed, extremely excited.
"Wow, I love this terrace!"
There is a large terrace outside the bedroom door, covered with lush grass and fragrant flowers.
There's also a small pond where a bunch of valuable ornamental fish are kept.
Lu Chi sighed, "The life of a rich young master is wonderful! It's just a pity that such wonderful days won't last long. The Lu family will be ruined, with many people dying or being injured."
Hearing Lu Chi's thoughts, Lu Yuanqing secretly vowed that he would never let the Lu family be ruined and that he would nip any troublesome elements in the bud.
Pan Feng also felt that she should protect her son well.
The couple then showed Lu Chi around the entire mansion.
It was one o'clock in the afternoon.
After settling Lu Chi in, Lu Yuanqing went to handle company affairs.
Pan Feng invited her friends to play mahjong.
The eldest sister of the Lu family, Lu Sangning, the third sister, Lu Yanxin, and the fourth sister, Lu Xiaoyue, all went out.
Only the fifth sister, Lu Yunke, and the fake young master, Lu Jiyang, remained at home.
Lu Yunke is a writer who is very free. She usually either stays at home or travels around. When inspiration strikes, she updates her novel; when inspiration doesn't come, she just slacks off.
Anyway, her family doesn't lack money to spend.
Everyone left, and Lu Yunke went back to her room and didn't come out again.
Lu Chi also planned to take a nap in his room.
Just then, I heard a loud knocking sound on the door.
The system alerted Lu Chi.
[Host, host, Lu Jiyang is here to see you.]
Lu Chi laughed: "[That son of a bitch thinks he can mess with me when no one's home? He doesn't even know who he is! Before I transmigrated, I was a nobody internet celebrity, and I even worked as an actor for a few days. When it comes to acting skills, he's nowhere near as good!]"
Outside the door, Lu Jiyang said softly, "Brother Lu Chi, are you sleeping inside?"
Lu Chi pulled the door open.
He said irritably, "Am I not sleeping in here, or am I going to shit on your head?... Ah! It's Brother Ji Yang. I thought it was some clueless servant knocking on my door."
Lu Jiyang: "..."
He really is a country bumpkin from the slums, speaking so rudely!
"Ji Yang, is there something you need?" Lu Chi stood by the door, looking at Lu Ji Yang outside.
Lu Jiyang said softly, "Brother Lu Chi, I don't have anything to say. I'm just happy that you're home. If you need anything in the future, just let me know. We're brothers, so your business is my business."
"Ji Yang, you're so kind!" Lu Chi stretched and continued, "Right now, I have a problem that's bothering me. Could you help me?"
Lu Jiyang's brow twitched; he was clearly displeased.
I was just saying that casually, did you really take it seriously?
But since the words have already been spoken, how can I refuse?
"Brother Lu Chi, what can I do to help you with? I'll definitely help if it's something I can do!"
"Ji Yang, could you lend me 5 million? You're so pampered at home, I heard you get tens of millions in pocket money a year. Lending me this little bit shouldn't hurt your wallet, right?"
