Chapter 72 Is she your sister?
That evening, Gu Youran left early, and Luo Zhiwei didn't go upstairs either, but instead went to compete with Wang Ma for work.
After a brief standoff, Wang Ma finally gave in: "Miss Luo, you cook for the young master, and I'll make your soup, okay?"
She can't just do nothing, otherwise she won't feel secure receiving her salary.
"Okay, thank you, Aunt Wang."
Luo Zhiwei began cooking according to Lu Jingxiao's preferences.
Over the past few years, under the tutelage of Zhao Tingguo's family, she has learned to cook a few dishes. She can't say she's an expert, but at least... her cooking is edible.
Braised shrimp, spicy crab, braised beef brisket, stir-fried vegetables... plus the soup stewed by Wang Ma, it would be too much for the two of them to eat.
Before the last spicy crab dish was served, Wang Ma went to the study to call Lu Jingxiao downstairs for dinner.
When Lu Jingxiao saw the dishes on the table, he was somewhat surprised. They were all very ordinary home-style dishes, unlike Wang Ma's usual style.
"Wang Ma, who cooked these dishes? Did you change the chef?"
He already had the answer in his heart, but he just wanted someone to tell him in person.
Wang Ma was all smiles, her face almost crinkling with laughter: "Young Master, changing the chef means changing me, right? How can that be?" Her tone was also a little excited: "Tonight's dishes were all made by Miss Luo, and they are all delicious and beautifully presented. Young Master, you can try them."
Luo Zhiwei stood opposite Lu Jingxiao, looking down somewhat shyly, and asked softly, "Is it not to your liking?"
Lu Jingxiao gave a haughty snort: "How do I know if it suits my taste before I've even tasted it?"
He never ate a single meal cooked by Luo Zhiwei during the three years he was with her.
On the contrary, Luo Zhiwei is a picky eater and only eats the food he makes for breakfast.
Whenever he expressed his desire to eat Luo Zhiwei's cooking, Luo Zhiwei would refuse, with the simple answer: "I can't cook. If I cook, I'll send you to the hospital."
Later, he stopped insisting.
Later, they broke up.
He never imagined that one day he would actually get to eat the dishes cooked by Luo Zhiwei.
Luo Zhiwei very attentively picked up her chopsticks and placed a shrimp and a beef brisket on Lu Jingxiao's plate: "Then you should try them."
Instead of waiting by her side, Wang Ma went straight to the kitchen. Miss Luo had left her a lot of food, which she could take back to her room to eat.
Seeing Lu Jingxiao eat a piece of beef, Luo Zhiwei, who was in the restaurant, couldn't wait to ask, "How does it taste? Is it to your liking?"
Lu Jingxiao's heart was filled with emotion. For him, whether the food tasted good or not was not important. What mattered was that the dish in front of him was made by the girl he liked, which made it different. But he still acted stubbornly and arrogantly: "It's okay, it's alright."
Then, he casually asked, "Did you make all these dishes?"
Luo Zhiwei shook her head: "No, the soup was made for me by Wang Ma..."
Lu Jingxiao nodded in satisfaction this time: "Okay, then drink more, you can't let Wang Ma down."
"I know."
Only then did the two begin to eat. Luo Zhiwei discovered that Lu Jingxiao's table manners were textbook-perfect, with elegance in every gesture.
“Lu Jingxiao..…”
Luo Zhiwei put down her chopsticks, her eyes filled with gratitude.
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
Luo Zhiwei continued, "I'm very grateful for the wedding dress repair. I thought the cost of repairing a wedding dress wouldn't be expensive, but I didn't expect... it would cost two or three times the price of the dress itself. I..."
Lu Jingxiao raised an eyebrow. He hadn't said a word about the price of repairing the wedding dress. How did Weiwei know?
There's only one possibility, and that is... it was Gu Youran who suggested it.
"So, you cooked this meal to thank me?"
Luo Zhiwei fell silent: "..."
She didn't know what she could give him in return.
Lu Jingxiao suddenly picked up his phone and tapped on the screen. When he put the phone down, Luo Zhiwei's phone lit up briefly; it was a text message.
Luo Zhiwei picked up her phone with some curiosity and found it was a message from a bank.
Hello Ms. Luo Zhiwei, Mr. Lu Jingxiao has transferred RMB 8 million to your account ending in 7768 via xx Bank...
She looked at Lu Jingxiao in shock: "Why did you transfer money to me?"
"You spent nearly eight million on Bai Yuxin before, this is to repay you... reimbursement."
Luo Zhiwei's brain was a little overwhelmed. She retorted softly, "But Yuxin already gave me the money, transferred it directly to my account... How could you..." Feeling a little guilty, she said softly, "Yuxin spent most of her money last time on things for me, it's normal for me to give her money back..."
The current situation is that Bai Yuxin not only treated everyone to a meal, but also returned all the money. Now, Lu Jingxiao is also going to give her a share?
What exactly is their relationship?
"She said she'd treat you, so she should pay. If Chris hadn't frozen her card, you wouldn't be here..."
Lu Jingxiao is currently sparring with Chris. Chris, a mercenary, is no match for Lu Jingxiao even after undergoing two weeks of intensive training!
They were given a severe lesson.
Lu Jingxiao spared no one. He didn't let Weiwei get away with being bullied by Zhao Tingguo, nor did he let any of the triggers go unpunished. Even Bai Yuxin's absence from the hospital in the following days was because she was punished by Lu Jingxiao to copy the Bai family precepts and take care of Chris.
Luo Zhiwei retorted unhappily, "Lu Jingxiao, I've told you before, whether I give that money or not, I'll be taught a lesson by Zhao Tingguo. I don't even know if I'll live or die. I just want to spend all the money before I die, even on Yuxin, since you and her back then..."
“But none of that matters. You can’t be implicated as a result…” Luo Zhiwei opened her mobile banking app and said softly, “Give me an account number, and I’ll transfer the money to you.”
She can't accept this money.
Lu Jingxiao frowned unhappily and snorted twice: "Luo Zhiwei, Bai Yuxin transferred money to you, and you accept it, but what about the money I transferred? Is it too hot to handle?"
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
She was also a little angry and asked irritably, "Then what is your relationship with Yuxin that you're so eager to reimburse her?"
Didn't you say it was okay?
Lu Jingxiao was slightly taken aback. He suddenly looked up, his eyes sparkling as if they held a thousand stars: "What?"
"nothing."
Luo Zhiwei gave a self-deprecating laugh. How come you still can't remember? You have nothing to do with him anymore. His affairs are none of your business.
Lu Jingxiao, however, had no intention of letting Luo Zhiwei off the hook. He even got up and sat down next to her, his eyes sparkling: "Luo Zhiwei, are you jealous? You are jealous, aren't you? Are you jealous that I reimbursed Bai Yuxin's expenses? Are you angry?"
Luo Zhiwei's face flushed red instantly. She quickly lowered her head to avoid looking at Lu Jingxiao, pretending to continue eating: "I didn't, I didn't say anything."
“Weiwei, you’ll know Bai Yuxin’s identity once her family transfers the assets back to China.” Lu Jingxiao continued, “I can also make it very clear to you that Bai Yuxin and I are impossible in this lifetime, but there are some things that I can’t let go of.”
Can't let go?
White moonlight?
No, Lu Jingxiao said that being with her was his first love, how could she be his "white moonlight"...?
"Bai Yuxin isn't some kind of sister of yours, is she?"
