Chapter 17 Darling, I Was Sorry
Lu Fengqing sat in front of her dressing table, applying a face mask while looking troubled.
While it was easy to agree to plead with Gu Suixing on his behalf, putting it into practice was not so simple.
She and Gu Suixing had broken up for so many years. Although he had shown a possessive and lingering affection for her during their several meetings after their reunion, she wasn't sure if he truly still had feelings for her or was just teasing her.
Business matters are not child's play. Even if he still has feelings for her, he may not be willing to give this opportunity to the Lu family for her sake.
But she couldn't refuse her second brother.
Her luxurious lifestyle today is inseparable from the Lu family. Otherwise, the little money she earns on her own can only allow her to live a wealthy life, far from enough for her to buy all kinds of high-end luxury goods and jewelry without blinking an eye, and to fly abroad to watch fashion shows every now and then.
Most importantly, she couldn't stand by and watch her grandparents' hard work go to waste.
Between the face and the Lu family, the Lu family is naturally more important.
After mentally preparing herself for a long time, Lu Fengqing picked up her phone.
I wanted to contact Gu Suixing, but suddenly realized that I didn't have Gu Suixing's contact information.
After hesitating for a long time, Lu Fengqing finally sent Huo Huaisui a message.
[Lu Fengqing: Gu Suixing called me.]
[SuiSui: Why did you suddenly change your mind?]
[SuiSui: 137XXXXXXXX Go, Pikachu!]
[SuiSui: I'm going to try and win over my fourth brother so he can be my sister-in-law!]
[Lu Fengqing: ...]
It's impossible to take over your fourth brother; I only want to take over the project he has.
Lu Fengqing frowned in confusion as she looked at the number Huo Huaisui had sent.
She had a good memory; the number Huo Huaisui sent was clearly different from the one Gu Suixing had read to her in the coffee shop last time.
[Lu Fengqing: Are you sure this is your fourth brother's number?]
[SuiSui: I'm sure it's not]
[Lu Fengqing: ...]
[SuiSui: This is Assistant Fang's. I always contact Fourth Brother through him when I need something.]
[SuiSui: Hey, my fourth brother is a really busy man, he might not answer my calls or reply to my messages, but Assistant Fang definitely will.]
With such sound reasoning and evidence, Lu Fengqing had no way to refute it.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Lu Fengqing peeled off her face mask, got up, and went to open the door. "Big Brother?"
Lu Feng held a coffee in one hand and a milk in the other.
"I saw your light was on." Lu Fenghe handed the milk to Lu Fengqing. "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Lu Fengqing didn't dare say that she was struggling with whether or not to call Gu Suixing, "...I'm going to sleep right away."
"Good night." Lu Fenghe took the coffee and went back to his room.
After drinking the warm milk, Lu Fengqing let out a comfortable sigh and picked up her phone again.
It's just making a phone call, not going to my death.
Lu Fengqing entered the number, then remembered a very serious problem.
What should I say after I call? Lu Fengqing fell into deep thought.
"Hi, I need your help with something."
That's not good; they sound like they know each other very well.
"I heard you're looking for a partner. Could you give this opportunity to the Lu family?"
No, no, what if he says, "Why should I?" How should she answer? "Because I'm your ex?"
If Gu Suixing had said those words to her, she would have punched him.
Let's try another one.
"Hi, I have a need, do you have time to meet up?"
...
...
Let's just kill her.
Lu Fengqing leaned back and fell heavily onto the bed.
"Beep—beep—"
Huh? What's that sound?
Lu Fengqing turned her head and saw the call interface displayed on her phone screen, as if struck by lightning.
She accidentally pressed the dial button, and the call went through.
Lu Fengqing frantically tried to hang up the phone, but it was too late.
A man's smiling voice came from inside: "Miss Qingfeng Lu?"
"..."
[If I were to call you, I'd read your name, Lu Fengqing, backwards!]
The vow I made in the coffee shop that day still echoed in my ears.
Lu Fengqing shuddered and quickly pressed the hang-up button.
How could she have forgotten about that?
Lu Fengqing bit her lower lip in frustration, wishing she could go back and strangle herself for wanting to call that bastard earlier.
When Gu Suixing called again, Lu Fengqing immediately hung up.
Call again and hang up again.
Just as Lu Fengqing was about to lock the person in the dark room, she suddenly received a text message.
[Sweetie, I was wrong.]
Lu Fengqing: "..."
Who's your darling? If you call me that again, I'll block you!
Lu Fengqing snorted, returned to her dressing table, and sat down to continue the skincare routine she hadn't finished earlier.
That jerk was busy with something and didn't send any more messages.
However, someone in her high school classmates' group tagged her.
This group is usually inactive, it only became lively recently because of the class reunion.
[Class Monitor: @Lu Fengqing @Huo Huai'an, are you both able to come to this year's class reunion? Also, could you please ask Gu Suixing? He's not in the group chat.]
[Huo Huai'an: I might not have time]
[Lu Fengqing: +1]
Lu Fengqing and Huo Huai'an rarely appeared in the classmates' group chat and almost never chatted.
The two popped up at the same time for the first time after joining the group, and the group immediately became lively.
[It's been so long since I've heard from you all. You didn't even come to the last class reunion. I thought you'd forgotten about us old classmates.]
[Our male god is here, let's call him!]
[Huo Huai'an: You'll have to ask her @Lu Fengqing about that.]
Gu Suixing was a prominent figure in high school because of his powerful family background; no one in the school dared to lecture him. This young master was the only one who doted on Lu Fengqing. Although they never admitted it, their classmates all assumed they were a couple. After hearing that they were together in college, they naturally assumed they were still together.
[@Lu Fengqing, are you and your boyfriend coming?]
[What boyfriend? After all these years, it's time to call him husband!]
[Shouldn't he be called the child's father?]
[It could also be the children's father.]
-
Gu Suixing got off the treadmill, grabbed a towel to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and picked up his phone that was lying next to him.
Upon seeing the chat screenshots sent by Huo Huai'an, Gu Suixing raised an eyebrow.
[XXXXXXX: Add me in]
Huo Huai'an then added Gu Suixing to his high school classmates' group chat.
His arrival made the already lively group even more lively.
[Is this the child's father?]
[XXXXXXX: Who gave birth to the child?]
[@Lu Fengqing]
[XXXXXXX: That's right.]
Are you and your wife coming to the class reunion?
[XXXXXXX: I listen to the child's mother]
[@Lu Fengqing's child's mother, give me a straight answer]
Lu Fengqing thought to herself, "If you tag me again, I'm leaving the group," when she suddenly received a friend request.
This profile picture and ID look very familiar.
She had seen it in her high school classmates' group chat two minutes ago.
Lu Fengqing's eyes darted around, looking here and there for a while before slowly nodding in agreement.
[XXXXXXX: Honey, why aren't you replying?]
[Lu Fengqing: ...Speak properly.]
[XXXXXXX: [Image]]
What he sent me was an itinerary.
It records all his schedule for the coming week.
[Lu Fengqing: ?]
[XXXXXXX: Reporting on the itinerary.]
[Lu Fengqing: ...]
There's absolutely no need for that.
but……
Lu Fengqing's gaze fell on a fashionable gala dinner three days later.
