Chapter 106 The Phone Call
In addition to sending flowers and clothes, Gu Suixing also hired a team of twelve people to serve Lu Fengqing and Xie Chaowan.
This is a top-notch service team. The top-notch waitresses are good-looking, highly educated, and capable in both formal and informal settings. They are skilled in all kinds of things and each has their own strengths. Making customers wait on their own is just the basic operation. As long as Lu Fengqing wants to, even if she wants to lie down and go shopping, this team can also satisfy her.
The fact that they were traveling with a driver and bodyguards was already quite eye-catching, but with this additional team, their trip became an even more impressive affair.
Lu Fengqing also thought it was a bit exaggerated, but she was used to it. She was more worried that Xie Chaowan wouldn't be used to it, so she asked, "Aunt Wan, there seem to be too many people. Should we send them back?"
Xie Chaowan smiled and said, "It's alright, let them come along."
Since Xie Chaowan said so, Lu Fengqing decided to keep the person behind.
Although it's a bit of an exaggeration, it's really great to have someone take care of you the whole time when you travel. You just have to say what you want and you'll get it.
On the first evening, Xie Chaowan took Lu Fengqing out to sea for a night on a yacht. On the second day, Lu Fengqing dragged Xie Chaowan shopping all day until everyone in the team was carrying loads of shopping bags. On the third day, the two were lazy and didn't go out to have fun, so they went to a beauty salon for a full-body treatment. On the fourth day, they went out to have more fun...
Lu Fengqing was so engrossed in her extravagant trip that she forgot all about home, while the human ATM that allowed her to enjoy all of this only existed in her mind for a few minutes each day.
For the past few days, Lu Fengqing has received a bouquet of flowers every day. Although they are all roses, the color of the flowers delivered each day is different.
Over the course of a few days, Lu Fengqing's room was filled with bouquets of flowers, filling the entire room with fragrance. Every night, she would fall asleep peacefully to the scent of the flowers.
Human-shaped ATMs are in a tougher spot.
I'm busy all day, but when I get back to my empty apartment at night, I sleep alone every night.
On the sixth day after Lu Fengqing went to J City, Gu Suixing was hung up on by Lu Fengqing again, so he called Huo Huaisui instead.
Huo Huaisui quickly answered the phone, "Hello, Fourth Brother."
Gu Suixing: "Let Lu Nian answer my call."
"?" Huo Huai Sui was stunned for two seconds. "Fourth Brother, Niannian went to J City. Niannian and I are not together."
"Figure it out yourself," Gu Suixing said before hanging up the phone.
Huo Huai Sui didn't dare offend the God of Wealth, so with a bitter face, he called Lu Feng Qing and said, "Niannian, Fourth Brother wants you to answer his call."
Lu Fengqing refused: "I won't answer."
Huo Huai Sui was puzzled, "What exactly did Fourth Brother do to make you angry?"
Lu Fengqing sneered, "Haven't you heard? The Gu family and the Qin family are going to have a marriage alliance."
Huo Huai Sui was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened as she realized what she meant. "You mean Fourth Brother... is getting engaged to another woman?"
After spending all the money, she stayed home in seclusion to focus on her creative work, ignoring everything else and unaware of the incident.
"That won't do!" Huo Huai Sui said angrily. "Fourth Brother already has you, how can he get engaged to another woman! No way, I'm going to ask my Fourth Brother!"
This is absolutely outrageous!
Fourth Brother already has Lu Niannian, and their child is already in kindergarten. Why would he get engaged to another woman? No way! Absolutely not, not even if it's arranged by the family.
She's still waiting for her fourth brother and Lu Niannian to get back together, to recognize Rui Rui, and to hear Rui Rui call her aunt!
Huo Huai Sui mentally prepared a string of curses and swears, and angrily called Gu Sui Xing again, but Gu Sui Xing didn't answer.
Gu Suixing was led to his seat by the waiter and sat down without exchanging any pleasantries. "Just say what you need to say."
Seeing his impatience, Qin Xuan didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "According to the agreement, I've already taken you to meet all the people I could help you with through my father's connections. I can't help you with anything else. I plan to go abroad to be with my mother."
Gu Suixing didn't respond, she just listened.
Seeing his reaction, Qin Xuan felt a little sad, but it was also within her expectations. After a pause, she continued, "As for my father, I hope you will let him go."
After Assistant Fang left her house that day, her father was so angry that he almost smashed things in the house. However, he took Gu Suixing's warning to heart and indeed did not mention the marriage again afterward.
The evidence Gu Suixing possessed was more substantial and more damaging than the evidence of her father's crimes that she had offered to show her sincerity years ago. If her father did not want to ruin his future, he would have no choice but to abandon the idea of marriage.
She had long been utterly disappointed in her biological father, but no matter what, he was still her father. Asking Gu Suixing for mercy was her way of showing her filial piety one last time.
Her mother had been ill for many years and required long-term, continuous treatment, which was very expensive. If it weren't for completing her deal with Gu Suixing, she would never have returned to China.
She won't be coming back anytime soon after this trip abroad.
Gu Suixing said calmly, "It depends on whether he's willing to let himself go."
Qin Xuan nodded slightly, knowing there was still room for maneuver. She didn't say anything more, but simply asked, "Do you need me to explain to Miss Lu?"
Gu Suixing: "No need."
You have to pamper your own woman.
Besides, that woman never believed he and Qin Xuan had anything going on; she just wanted to mess with him.
Qin Xuan stared at him for a long time without saying anything more.
After finishing their business, they each went their separate ways.
Just like those years I spent abroad.
-
On the seventh day, Lu Fengqing and Xie Chaowan returned to City A.
Lu Fengqing didn't go back to the Xie family with Xie Chaowan. Instead, she took most of the remaining stuff and went back to Gu Suixing's apartment.
The apartment wasn't big to begin with, and it felt even more cramped after Lu Fengqing's "trophies" were crammed in.
Lu Fengqing began to miss the house in Xinghe.
They said they were going to connect the upper and lower floors, but I don't know how it turned out.
Lu Fengqing left the things piled up in the living room and was about to take a shower when she suddenly received a call from an unknown number.
Hello.
A familiar female voice came through the receiver, "Hello, Ms. Lu."
Lu Fengqing frowned, "Miss Qin?"
"It's me," Qin Xuan said. "I wonder if Miss Lu has time to meet me?"
Lu Fengqing didn't understand what she and Qin Xuan had to talk about, and was about to refuse when she heard Qin Xuan say, "The Qin family will not have a marriage alliance with the Gu family. My flight is at five o'clock this afternoon, and I won't be back for a while. Miss Lu, don't you want to know what happened to Mr. Gu abroad all those years?"
Lu Fengqing pondered for a moment, then went out.
The two arranged to meet at a tea restaurant.
Qin Xuan said softly, "The tea abroad is not as good as the tea in China. I won't be able to drink it for a long time after I leave this time."
Lu Fengqing suggested, "You can buy a few pounds of tea and take it with you."
Qin Xuan shook her head, "It's different."
Tea tastes best when it's from your homeland; once you go elsewhere, it just doesn't taste the same.
Although the two spent a few days together at the Xie family manor, they were still not familiar with each other and had nothing to talk about.
After drinking half a cup of warm tea, Qin Xuan spoke slowly.
The school they attended abroad had many Chinese students. Gu Suixing was good-looking, and almost as soon as he arrived at the school, many people noticed him, as did she.
However, Gu Suixing, who had just arrived abroad, was not easy to approach. He exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay. Fang Hang, who is now Assistant Fang, was always by his side. It was not easy for other girls to get close to him. Even those who dared to go up and chat or confess their feelings all ended in failure.
Qin Xuan was also encouraged by her friends to try and chat up other girls.
