Chapter 258 Luo

Lu Qian just blinked his harmless eyes and stared at Vanessa without moving.

Vanessa chuckled and secretly hid the waves in her heart.

"Yes, you are making rapid progress, so what?"

She crossed her arms over her chest, lowered her eyes, and with the help of her high heels, she was half a head taller than Lu Qian.

"You are just a pet of Cheng Yi. Your days of being spoiled and arrogant won't last long."

Lu Qian smiled faintly, without any sign of displeasure on her face.

"Yes, I am just a pet, but a pet is better than you. Don't you feel sad?"

“…”

Upon hearing this, Vanessa was so angry that her teeth were chattering. She clenched her fists tightly, and her bright red nails dug into the flesh of her palms.

"Are you really angry? Do you want to kill me?" Lu Qian leaned slightly closer to Vanessa. "But you have to think carefully. Cheng Yi still dotes on me. If you kill me, he will hate you for the rest of his life~"

"Bitch." Vanessa gritted her teeth and cursed out two words angrily.

"Hmm," Lu Qian put his ear to Vanessa and cupped his hand to her ear, "Any other words? Let me hear them."

"you!"

Upon hearing this, Vanessa raised her hand and was about to slap him.

Lu Qian quickly stood up and tried to hide, "Hey, what did I just warn you about? If you hurt me, I will complain."

The hatred in Vanessa's eyes gradually deepened, her face gradually turned blue, and she was so angry that she couldn't even utter a word.

Lu Qian smiled and stared at Vanessa's face.

She had to admit that Vanessa was able to stay with Cheng Yi for so long, this woman's methods were really clever.

If it weren't for the relationship with Cheng Yi, Vanessa would definitely kill her without mercy.

She is sexy, charming and ruthless, which is rare.

It's a pity that she is a woman, and a self-righteous woman who is trapped in love. The illusions she sees and the understanding she thinks she has of Cheng Yi are worthless in Lu Qian's eyes.

Lu Qian turned around and said coldly, "If you have nothing else to do, go back first. Lele is still waiting for me."

Vanessa gritted her teeth and growled, "I'll make you regret it sooner or later."

Lu Qian paused in closing the door, raised his eyelids and glanced at Vanessa's face, "I'm at your service anytime."

Lu Qian closed the door, leaned against the door frame and raised his eyebrows.

Unexpectedly, fighting against a love rival would really happen to her one day.

On the crowded street, three tall men were standing in front of an inconspicuous antique shop.

The leader was wearing a black windbreaker, and his sharp gaze seemed to be able to cut through the air. The two men behind him who were equally sharp as eagles seemed ordinary in front of his aura.

Outside the antique shop, the all-stone exterior wall is bumpy, and the red-painted wooden door has peeled off due to the erosion of wind and rain, looking old and weird.

The dark green plaque on the lintel was engraved with the words "Huaxia Antique Shop". The words were not big, but the gold paint on them looked very new.

There was a copper bell hanging below the door lintel, and below the bell was an evil ghost face. It was obviously something that could suppress ghosts, but at this moment it looked very strange.

“Ding-ling-ling——”

The eerie red-painted door opened, and the bell rang, the shrill sound like the cry of a red ghost.

A little girl about eight or nine years old walked out from the crack in the door. She had two buns on her head tied with a red rope and was wearing an antique Chinese Tang suit. Her strange smile and flushed face made Qi Huang and Ling Shuo swallow nervously.

These two authentic Chinese people both thought of something terrible.

"Master Cheng, my father wants to see you."

In comparison, Cheng Yi is much more indifferent.

After all, compared to ghosts, this man is more terrifying.

He hummed softly and walked straight into the house.

Qi Huang and Ling Shuo looked at each other, and had to muster up the courage to follow Cheng Yi in.

As soon as I entered the store, I saw smoke filling it. I guess they were burning some kind of incense, but the smell was very faint and not as strong as it looked.

When my eyes became accustomed to the smoke, I could see clearly that there was another world inside the dilapidated door.

The hall doesn't cover a large area, and the surrounding walls are divided into hundreds of secret compartments of various sizes. The light in the room is not bright, but you can still roughly see what's in some of the compartments.

What is particularly eye-catching are the eyeballs, skulls, hearts, and brains. It doesn't look like an antique shop at all, but more like an autopsy room.

Cheng Yi took a quick glance and walked straight towards the solid wood counter.

An old man was sitting hunched over the counter. He looked like a genuine Chinese. He was wearing a light grey Zhongshan suit with bamboo leaf patterns embroidered all over the collar. He looked profound and low-key.

He was wearing a pair of small round glasses and puffing on his pipe, with no intention of standing up to greet Cheng Yi.

"Dad Luo."

Cheng Yi walked forward, placed his hands on his chest, and bowed respectfully to the old man.

Qi Huang and Ling Shuo were both a little confused and looked at each other.

Qi Huang: Dude, what's going on? Who is this old man?

Ling Shuo: You ask me, how would I know?

Qi Huang: I have never seen anyone who can make our boss bow so respectfully.

Ling Shuo: Just ask?

Qi Huang: Why don’t you ask?

Ling Shuo: I’m afraid of death.

Qi Huang: Then I won’t be afraid?

…

Luo lifted his drooping eyelids and looked at Cheng Yi.

"Boy, you're getting more and more extravagant. Do I have to treat you this way to win you over?"

Cheng Yi stood up and smiled at Luo, addressing him in a more intimate manner: "Dad, you're too kind. I've been really busy with work lately."

Luo obviously didn't buy his story and knocked his copper pipe hard on the counter twice.

"Humph, your words may be useful in deceiving others, but they won't work on me."

"Don't be angry, Dad. You'll get sick from being angry." Cheng Yi's smile widened. "Didn't I come to see you as soon as I arrived in Venice?"

"Oh," Luo raised his hand and rubbed his old face, his skin trembling, "If it weren't for the news in my hand, would you have come?"

Cheng Yi smiled even more heartily and waved to Qi Huang behind him, "Huang, bring the things up."

As soon as Qi Huang received the order, he took out an exquisite jewelry box from his arms and handed it to Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi smiled and opened the box, handing it to Luo, "I brought this specially for you as a gift, I hope you will accept it."

Luo squinted his eyes and looked into the jewelry box. After just one glance, his half-closed eyes widened instantly.

A white jade ring lay neatly in the jewelry box. The quality of the white jade was top quality, and it was as transparent as a piece of white ice.

There are two Pixiu carved on it in detail, surrounding a golden tree, with golden treasures all over the ground. It is a pattern that attracts great wealth.

Luo looked at the ring, then at Cheng Yi, turned his face away with a little arrogance, and snatched the jewelry box from his hand.

"You have some conscience, kid."
