Chapter 57 [57]
trouble
Lu Mingxiao replied with a question mark.
Her astonishment spoke volumes, just like her current state.
However, Luo Qingyue quickly accepted the fact.
She looked away from Wen Ning and admired her newly painted nails.
"I didn't check the almanac before going out today, what bad luck!"
His anger was written all over his face, and his resentment was blatantly laid bare.
Still a naive young girl, Wen Ning smiled and spoke softly.
"What, do you own this place? Do I need to submit an application to you to come here?"
Luo Qingyue pointed at the introduction board of Yin Xin on the wall.
She raised her chin slightly and said proudly, "My cousin, isn't she amazing?"
Rounding it up, isn't it her family's business?
This psychological counseling center is solely owned by Yin Xin, and Qu Jingqiu is an employee she hired.
They are skilled in different consulting areas, which complements each other and covers more client needs.
Qu Jingqiu stood next to Wen Ning. This was the first time she had met this young girl. She was a relative of Teacher Yin and must have come to visit.
She and Wen Ning had just passed by Yin Xin's clinic downstairs. The clinic was in the "treatment in progress" state. She told Luo Qingyue, "Teacher Yin is busy. You will need to wait a little longer."
"I know."
Luo Qingyue was not surprised at all. "My friend is inside. I came here with her."
Wen Ning looked at Luo Qingyue and suddenly understood.
"I told you, no matter who has mental problems, it won't be your turn."
Luo Qingyue put her hands on her hips and yelled at her.
"Why should I? I have plenty of worries too, you know."
She is wealthy, has a harmonious family, and a loving boyfriend.
What worries could the little princess possibly have? Wen Ning was genuinely curious: "For example?"
Feeling a little hungry, Luo Qingyue walked to the rest area next to her and sat down on the curved sofa.
She picked up the egg yolk pastry on the coffee table, took a bite, and then said, "When God created me, why did he give me such a beautiful and perfect appearance, which makes people envy and jealous?"
Wen Ning & Qu Jingqiu: “?”
Luo Qingyue took another bite of the egg yolk pastry and continued, "I have too much pocket money. No matter how much I spend, I can never spend it all. The remaining balance is like a bottomless pit swallowing me up. I'm trembling and scared. Also, my boyfriend is too outstanding and only loves me. What is my charm? I still can't figure it out. It's really a headache."
After finishing the egg yolk pastry, Luo Qingyue's face showed joy and satisfaction.
Wen Ning's face was cold as she reached out to Qu Jingqiu: "Get me a gun, I'll finish her off right now."
"Everything I said is true."
Luo Qingyue looked at Wen Ning, her expression unchanged, "Since you disagree with me, then tell me, why did you come here? It's not like you came here specifically to catch up with Sister Qu."
Qu Jingqiu didn't expect the little girl to have such strong observation skills. She could tell at a glance that she and Wen Ning had known each other for many years.
Just as I was about to praise her, Wen Ning said, "Her boyfriend is Lu Mingxiao, so she must have already talked to him."
Upon hearing the familiar name, Qu Jingqiu exclaimed, "Oh, then her boyfriend must be very outstanding."
Luo Qingyue quickly added, "My brother is still Luo Hanzhou."
Qu Jingqiu opened her lips slightly, glanced at Luo Qingyue, and then looked at Wen Ning.
She had been puzzled as to why the little girl was hostile towards Wen Ning, but now she understood completely, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Wen Ning crossed her arms and stared at Luo Qingyue: "I want to get back together with your brother, but he told me to get as far away as possible. My heart is breaking, the pain is excruciating. I came to your Sister Qu for comfort. Are you satisfied now?"
She spoke with great emotion, as if she was joking, but also as if she was eager to tell the truth.
Luo Qingyue couldn't tell whether it was true or false for a moment. She only saw Wen Ning glance at the wall clock and say, "I'm a busy CEO, why would I waste my time with a little brat? I'm leaving."
You make me sound like I have a lot of free time.
Wen Ning left without hesitation, with Qu Jingqiu by her side.
Luo Qingyue stared at Wen Ning's retreating figure and made a resentful face.
Her figure disappeared around the corner, and Luo Qingyue returned to her private space.
Lu Mingxiao sent me a message on my phone, saying that a meeting was about to start and I would need to disappear for two hours.
Luo Qingyue replied with an "okay," resting her chin on her hand, looking rather bored. She seemed to have some free time, so she asked Xiao Mo for a tablet and opened a currently popular fantasy drama starring Lü Shuyi.
After acting in too many idol dramas, Lü Shuyi needs to change things up.
This fantasy film combines hilarious lines, high-quality costumes and props, and exquisite special effects.
Luo Qingyue was eating hawthorn cakes, engrossed in watching the performance, when Qu Jingqiu returned and refilled her glass with water.
Luo Qingyue thanked Qu Jingqiu.
Qu Jingqiu was about to go upstairs back to her clinic when Luo Qingyue suddenly remembered something and put the tablet to sleep: "Sister Qu, wait a minute."
Qu Jingqiu stepped onto a step and stopped.
The staircase has glass on both sides and wooden handrails. Luo Qingyue got up and walked to the outside of the glass, placing her hands on the handrails.
She leaned forward slightly, her voice low: "Can I ask you a question?"
Qu Jingqiu agreed, and Luo Qingyue got straight to the point: "Sister Wen Ning, are you really here because of my brother?"
"Didn't she just say that?"
Qu Jingqiu replied, "Whether you believe it or not is entirely up to you."
Another ambiguous answer. If I could judge, would I be asking you?
Thinking this, Luo Qingyue then asked, "So, when you say Sister Wen Ning walked through the gates of hell, was it because she had some serious illness, or was there some other reason?"
Qu Jingqiu frowned slightly, not expecting the little girl to have taken her words to heart.
Is she so concerned about Wen Ning for her own sake, or is she trying to help Luo Hanzhou get some information?
Qu Jingqiu's thoughts drifted for two seconds before she snapped back to reality under Luo Qingyue's devout gaze.
She answered seriously with an extremely professional attitude.
"One of the core principles of psychological counseling is to protect the privacy of the client."
"Wen Ning is not only my friend, but also a VIP customer here. I'm sorry, but I can't tell you unless she agrees."
——
Xu Jie's psychological counseling has been very effective. In her own words, "After talking with Teacher Yin, I felt completely refreshed. I enjoyed my food more, and I stopped being so distracted. I felt like I had been reborn."
Luo Qingyue was sincerely happy for Xu Jie, but when she thought of Wen Ning, who was dubbed a "VIP customer" by Qu Jingqiu, her mood became inexplicably complicated.
Mingyue's Spring Festival holiday this year is very long, lasting ten days. It starts on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month and returns to work on the 8th day of the first lunar month.
To express her gratitude to Luo Qingyue, Xu Jie gave her two boxes of cherries. The night before the holiday, Lu Mingxiao helped her move them back to Guanjiangyue, washed some and placed them on the coffee table in the living room.
Luo Qingyue sat on the sofa, one knee bent, looking languid, with a serious expression on her face.
Lu Mingxiao sat down next to Luo Qingyue and fed the cherries to her lips: "I tasted it, it's very sweet."
After eating one cherry, Luo Qingyue felt listless. After eating five, she was still the same.
Lu Mingxiao asked her what was wrong. Luo Qingyue knelt sideways and hugged his arm: "Ever since I last saw Wen Ning, I think of her every day. I feel like I'm going crazy. Shouldn't I make an appointment with my cousin and have a good chat?"
Lu Mingxiao put his arm around her shoulder and asked further, "Are you simply thinking about Wen Ning, or are you thinking about the question that Qu Jingqiu didn't answer?"
Luo Qingyue asked, puzzled, "Is there a difference? Isn't the problem also related to Wen Ning?"
Lu Mingxiao intertwined his fingers with hers and explained earnestly, "If you focus on the former, you'll think that Wen Ning dumped your brother, and your initial thought is to feel sorry for your brother. If you focus on the latter, you'll feel that Wen Ning is also pitiful, and you'll feel sorry for her instead."
"I don't feel sorry for her!"
Luo Qingyue finished speaking and fell into deep thought again. "After a few encounters, I found that she was just a bit straightforward. She only attacked me with words, not like Fan Wei, who took my life physically. She's not as bad as I thought, right?"
Eager for affirmation, Lu Mingxiao hummed, "Otherwise, why would your brother have dated her for four years in college? Breaking up wouldn't have been so dignified."
That was a long period of youth, all left to one person.
Luo Qingyue hugged Lu Mingxiao's waist and rested her head on his chest.
"Should I tell my brother about the Ghost Gate incident?"
"On this point, I agree with Qu Jingqiu."
Lu Mingxiao stated his reasons, "What you said means that Wen Ning is still hiding something from your brother. Your brother will definitely be very angry. If Wen Ning wants to redeem herself, then it would be best if she confesses herself. At least she can show her attitude. We should not get involved and act as middlemen."
Luo Qingyue nodded: "That makes sense."
The phone vibrated, Lu Mingxiao picked it up from the coffee table and checked WeChat.
"Forget about Wen Ning. Yin Xingwei asked me to play golf tomorrow. Do you want to go with him?"
Luo Qingyue doesn't know how to play golf, but Lu Mingxiao is an expert.
Regardless of whether Lu Mingxiao would teach her or not, just imagining his handsome swing was enough to make her heart beat fast.
However, she remembered that Lu Mingxiao had said that whenever Yin Xing asked him to meet, it would not be a simple meeting, but he would definitely bring intelligence or something important to discuss.
Luo Qingyue did not agree immediately, but asked: "If I hear your business secrets, aren't you afraid that I will turn around and sell you out?"
Lu Mingxiao picked up a cherry and placed it vertically on Luo Qingyue's lips like a kitten fishing.
"I do have some trust in the landlady."
Luo Qingyue tilted her head back and was about to eat the cherries when Lu Mingxiao took the cherries away.
Luo Qingyue craned her neck and glanced at him. Lu Mingxiao, in a playful mood, moved the cherries to another spot.
Not to be outdone, Luo Qingyue followed Cherry's trail.
Just when success seemed imminent, Lu Mingxiao's lips covered hers, pressing tightly against hers.
—Are cherries tastier or am I tastier?
—I can't answer you right now; I need to try it again before I can make a decision.
After a fierce battle, early the next morning, Luo Qingyue endured the pain in her back and sat in the passenger seat of a black SUV.
Lu Mingxiao acted as if nothing was wrong, gripping the steering wheel and driving attentively. As expected of someone who works out regularly, Luo Qingyue never heard him complain of being tired, even though he was clearly the one putting in more effort.
Never mind, she didn't need to be competitive about this.
As long as I can enjoy myself, feel comfortable and be served, there is no greater happiness than this.
——
After leaving Guanjiangyue, Lu Mingxiao first took Luo Qingyue to have morning tea at an old teahouse in Dongchuan.
Back in the car, Luo Qingyue watched as he entered "Tianmu Mountain," the location of the golf course, into the car's navigation system and drove onto the city avenue.
The last time I heard Yin Xingwei's name was because of Lin Qian.
Luo Qingyue had never seen the real person of this hidden military strategist and was extremely curious about it.
"Actually, I still have some doubts about Lin Qian."
Luo Qingyue suddenly remembered something. "Yin Xingwei is considered a big boss, and Lin Qian is just your employee. Don't you think it's a bit of a waste of resources to use Yin Xingwei to lure Lin Qian into the trap? In other words, Lin Qian is not worth such a big fight at all."
"I really didn't tell you this."
Lu Mingxiao admitted, "I mentioned this when Yin Xingwei and I were chatting. He took the initiative to offer to help me and came up with this idea."
Luo Qingyue exclaimed, "Ah!" "He wanted to prove his mature charm and took the initiative to seduce Lin Qian?"
Lu Mingxiao turned the steering wheel and drove onto the expressway. "Yin Xingwei is thirty-five this year. Ever since he made his fortune at the age of twenty-five, he has been a stickler for not getting married or having children. He loves to hang out with women and see them fascinated by him. He has a certain desire to conquer them and will jump at any opportunity."
Luo Qingyue: "He's rich, he's a good flirter, and he's also very handsome, isn't he?"
Lu Mingxiao thought for a moment and said, "Well, it seems to be okay."
Luo Qingyue sighed: "Master, let alone Lin Qian, even I——"
Feeling the burning gaze beside her, she immediately changed her words: "I also want to slap Yin Xingwei twice."
...
An hour later, we arrived at Tianmu Mountain.
Looking around, you can see undulating mountains, verdant pines and cypresses everywhere, and occasional waterfalls cascading down.
They were the only car on the entire road, and it was a cloudy day, which made Luo Qingyue feel a bit creepy.
Lu Mingxiao explained, "This area is Yin Xingwei's private domain. It's not open to the public and is only used for banquets."
In addition to golf courses, there are also equestrian clubs, high-end sanatoriums and resort hotels nearby.
Luo Qingyue understood: "He only invited you today."
Lu Mingxiao smiled and said, "It's us."
After he said this, the sun came out, and golden beams of light shone down, and Luo Qingyue's mood also became brighter.
After passing through the mountains, there is a large plain in front. At the end of the asphalt road is the entrance and reception hall of the golf course.
Lu Mingxiao is Yin Xingwei's distinguished guest.
Whenever he comes, Yin Xingwei will receive him personally and give him the highest level of courtesy from entry to departure.
There was a parking lot at the entrance. Luo Qingyue looked through the car window and found that there was an entire orchestra in the open space in front.
They were wearing uniform performance costumes, and there were conductors, drummers, violinists, flutists, saxophonists and everyone else. Accompanied by the conductor's commands, the welcome music was deafening and resounded through the sky.
Lu Mingxiao parked the car and Luo Qingyue got out with him.
Looking at the band, I couldn't help but sigh, "Yin Xingwei really loves you, he made such a big fuss."
Lu Mingxiao was annoyed by the noise and replied from a distance of about five or six meters: "He has never done this to me before. He must be welcoming you."
Catching a glimpse of a familiar figure, he continued, "Even personally involved."
Luo Qingyue: "?"
Yin Xingwei mixed in the team.
Luo Qingyue had never seen him in person, so she quickly asked Lu Mingxiao to point him out to her.
Lu Mingxiao took Luo Qingyue's hand and walked forward, pointing his finger at the man in a tuxedo.
They stood beside Yin Xingwei, a meter away from him. Yin Xingwei did not stop what he was doing; he held his baton, immersed in the music.
Lu Mingxiao smiled slightly: "Pretentious, not a single gesture is in rhythm. The band can perform so well because of their strong foundation."
Luo Qingyue couldn't help laughing, and the music stopped abruptly.
To ignore Lu Mingxiao, Yin Xing turned to face her and straightened his tuxedo tie.
"Welcome Miss Luo, you can call me James. I'm very happy to meet you on such a special day."
Lu Mingxiao subconsciously protected Luo Qingyue behind him, separating her from Yin Xingwei.
Luo Qingyue waved towards Yin Xingwei, but heard Lu Mingxiao say domineeringly: "Stay away from my woman."
