Mr. Lu, Treat Me Like a Treasure

She was the Xu family’s designated eldest grandson’s daughter-in-law, but after a bitter broken engagement, the mysterious Lu family’s crown prince appeared. “The Xu family doesn’t want y...

Chapter 38 She's not going to be polite anymore

Lu Jingheng's sarcastic remarks left Xu Rubao and Xia Zimo completely confused about his meaning.

He didn't ask, and Xu Rubao didn't dare to say anything more, for fear that he would say the wrong thing.

If I were to work as his servant, someone as difficult to please as him would surely die young if I did it for more than a few years.

Xia Zimo found the atmosphere eerily strange. After thinking it over, she concluded that it must be because Xu Rubao's steak was too awful that Lu Jingheng was dissatisfied with her.

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Xu Rubao, with your skills, you really don't deserve to be a maid here. You're more trouble than you're worth."

Lu Jingheng's expression turned even uglier. "Alright, that's enough. Zimo, let's go out to eat."

Xia Zimo felt that she had guessed correctly this time, and quickly nodded, "Okay, let's go out to eat."

As Lu Jingheng was leaving, he glanced at Xu Rubao and said, "Wash all the clothes upstairs. They have to be hand-washed and properly cleaned. Let me tell you, if you don't do it right, you'd better watch out."

"Understood, Mr. Lu."

Lu Jingheng took Xia Zimo out, and Xia Zimo was in a very good mood while sitting in the car.

"Ah Heng, I told you that girl wasn't good enough. It would be better to replace her sooner rather than later and bring in someone shrewd and mature. That would be more reliable."

Lu Jingheng suddenly stopped the car, startling Xia Zimo. If she hadn't been wearing her seatbelt, her head would have been hit.

"Aheng, what's wrong?"

Lu Jingheng parked the car and got out without saying a word.

Xia Zimo watched him park the car at a Hunan restaurant. When did he change his tastes? Does he like Hunan cuisine now?

She quickly followed him inside, not wanting to miss such a good opportunity to be alone together.

As soon as Lu Jingheng entered, the restaurant manager immediately came out. "Mr. Lu, what would you like to eat today? We have some newly arrived reservoir fish."

"You just need to treat Miss Xia well. Whatever she wants to eat, it's on my tab."

After Lu Jingheng finished speaking, he turned to look at Xia Zimo and said, "Zimo, I have something to do. Order whatever you want to eat."

After saying that, Lu Jingheng turned and left. Xia Zimo chased after him, wanting to ask him why he didn't even have time to eat. It was the weekend, what was he in such a hurry about?

Lu Jingheng suddenly stopped, and Xia Zimo was overjoyed. Could it be that he had changed his mind?

Lu Jingheng turned around and added, "Don't come to the villa to find me unless it's something important."

"..."

Xia Zimo swallowed back the words she wanted to say to him. She was so angry she was about to go crazy, but she still had to keep smiling, and her lips were almost distorted.

After Lu Jingheng and the others left the villa, the two steaks and the fruit salad remained untouched.

Even with that steak, they only cut a small piece.

Xu Rubao felt it was such a waste to throw away the steak she had prepared for so long.

When she was little, her grandfather was not at home, and her grandmother often wouldn't let her eat, so she hates wasting food.

She recut the slit they had cut off, then sipped red wine and ate a steak—it was simply divine.

She never expected that her first attempt at cooking steak would taste so good.

Xu Rubao didn't stand on ceremony. She first ate Lu Jingheng's steak, and then decided not to miss Xia Zimo's.

Just as Xu Rubao was enjoying her meal, the door suddenly opened...
