Chapter 127 Reenactment
The lady didn't ask which family's son it was. "The man should pursue her properly so they'll realize how hard it was to get a wife and cherish her."
Lu Fengqing smiled and nodded.
The lady didn't say anything more. It's one thing to get along well, but it's not good to pry into other people's private affairs.
A banquet doesn't last too long, and it's still early when it ends.
Lu Fengyao and Lu Fengxu are going out with their classmates and won't be returning to the old house tonight. Lu Fengqing will go back by herself.
As Lu Fengqing left the hotel, she received a call from Huo Huaisui.
"Niannian, have you all left?"
Lu Fengqing hummed in agreement.
Huo Huai Sui: "Are you full? If not, come out and eat something. It's on me."
"..." Lu Fengqing asked, "You've got money again?"
Huo Huaisui: "A little, but not much."
It's enough to afford a decent meal.
Lu Fengqing glanced at Fang Ning in the driver's seat, "Okay."
Fang Ning had been waiting in the car since dropping her off at the Lu residence in the morning. When she asked Fang Ning to go in for a meal, Fang Ning said she wasn't hungry. After that, Fang Ning took her to the hotel. She went in for the banquet, and Fang Ning didn't know if Fang Ning had gone out to eat by herself during that time.
Gu Suixing said yesterday that she would have a dinner party tonight and would be going home late. Since she would be alone anyway if she went back now, she might as well go have dinner with Huo Huaisui and bring Fang Ning along for a bite to eat.
Huo Huai Sui: "But my car is out of gas, so you'll have to come to my house to pick me up."
Lu Fengqing: "...Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Fengqing sent the Huo family's address to Fang Ning, "Go pick up Sui Sui, she's treating us to dinner."
"Okay." Fang Ning glanced at the address and started the car.
The Huo family wasn't far from here. After Huo Huai Sui got into the car, he started sighing.
Lu Fengqing glanced at her, "What's wrong?"
Huo Huai Sui sighed again, "I'm just a little conflicted."
Lu Fengqing: "Tell me."
Huo Huai Sui opened his mouth, but changed his mind before speaking: "How about we go get some barbecue? I'd like to have some drinks."
Lu Fengqing can eat whatever she wants; it's up to her.
Upon arriving at the destination, Huo Huai Sui sat down and ordered a bottle of beer. Before the beer even arrived, she couldn't help but start drinking.
"Didn't I say before that I had a boyfriend?"
Lu Fengqing nodded. "And then."
Huo Huaisui: "Actually, he was my online boyfriend."
Lu Fengqing: "..."
Huo Huaisui: "We've been talking for half a month, and now he's asking me to meet him for a meal."
Lu Fengqing: "…………"
Huo Huai Sui: "Do you think I should go?"
Fang Ning opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to say that there are many online scams nowadays, but looking at Lu Fengqing, she decided to listen to what Lu Fengqing had to say first.
Lu Fengqing: "Do you want to see me?"
Huo Huaisui thought for a moment, "It's alright."
I'd like to, but not really.
Smoke curls from roadside stalls, the aroma of meat mingling with the smell of charcoal filling the air. On a hot summer day, the streets are filled with the lively atmosphere of cooking.
There weren't too many people at this time, but there were still quite a few. Many people noticed Lu Fengqing's table and kept glancing over there.
Lu Fengqing ignored the stares and simply asked, "Where did he ask you to meet him?"
Huo Huaisui: "City J".
Lu Fengqing said gently, "How can we let a girl go to him? Let him come to City A."
Huo Huai Sui nodded, "That makes sense."
Lu Fengqing: "Call me when you go to meet them. I won't go; I'll just watch from the sidelines and give you my opinion."
Huo Huaisui: "Okay!"
Fang Ning immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It has to be said, Miss Lu's words were better than direct advice.
Having finally spoken the words that had been weighing on his mind, Huo Huai Sui was no longer troubled. His brows relaxed, and he returned the unopened beer.
Halfway through the meal, Lu Fengqing received a call from Gu Suixing, "Where are you?"
Lu Fengqing: "Let's have barbecue."
Gu Suixing chuckled, "Didn't you eat enough at the banquet?"
Lu Fengqing said, "I'll treat everyone every year."
Gu Suixing: "Will you come right back after you finish eating?"
Lu Fengqing: "Send Sui Sui back first."
Gu Suixing seemed to say something to the person next to him before saying to Lu Fengqing, "Send me the address."
Lu Fengqing sent the address.
After returning the beer, there was nothing left on the table. Huo Huai Sui looked around and saw a milk tea shop across the street. His eyes lit up. "Would you like some milk tea?"
Seeing that she had a chicken wing in her left hand and a lamb skewer in her right, Lu Fengqing picked up her bag and stood up, saying, "What would you like to drink? I'll go buy it."
Huo Huaisui ordered a glass of juice.
"Miss Lu, I'll go with you." Fang Ning didn't forget her mission and quickly put down what she was holding.
The milk tea shop is just across the street, but you need to walk a little further ahead and cross at the zebra crossing.
The milk tea shop was a bit crowded, and you had to wait in line after ordering.
About ten minutes later, Lu Fengqing came out of the store carrying three cups of milk tea.
"Miss Lu, let me take it." Fang Ning took the bag from Lu Fengqing's hand.
Lu Fengqing didn't say anything.
When the two returned to the intersection, the light turned red, so they had no choice but to wait.
Fang Ning exclaimed, "It seems like we're missing a straw."
Lu Fengqing: "Go back and get it."
Fang Ning hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Miss Lu, please wait here. I'll be right back."
Lu Fengqing took out her phone and glanced at it; it was ten o'clock.
Tomorrow is Friday. Although my older brother said he would bring Rui Rui back next week, he didn't say which day it would be.
Let's leave that aside for now and wait patiently.
The priority now is to take that scoundrel back to see her grandfather.
Suddenly, sharp screams came from all around.
Lu Fengqing looked up and was immediately struck by a blinding white light.
The light shone directly on her, making it almost impossible for her to see anything else; her legs seemed to be nailed to the spot.
In an instant, she remembered that day.
She had just withdrawn the money and left the bank, thinking about what birthday present she should buy for Mr. Gu, when a sharp, piercing sound accompanied by a terrified scream came from inside.
It felt like that scene from the past was repeating itself.
A deafening crash followed, then the screeching of wheels scraping the ground and screams of alarm.
Lu Fengqing stared blankly at the scene before her, her pupils shrinking little by little.
