Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Part 2
The news that Lu Jinzhi was returning to China had spread, and even the media had begun reporting it in advance, but not everyone received an invitation to the Lu family's dinner party. So in order to be able to sneak into the Lu family that day, many people racked their brains to find other ways.
Except for Lu Jinzhi, the schedules of other members of the Lu family are almost all public and transparent, so it is very easy to run into them by chance.
As soon as Lu Yingchi walked to the parking lot after school, he saw a lot of cars surrounding his car.
Nowadays, almost all college students live on campus, and very few drive here, let alone a young master like Lu Yingchi who never hides his identity.
Almost everyone in the school knows him, and you can find out where his car is parked by just asking. It's just that there are many normal people, and not everyone is so tactless as to get close to him every day.
As he walked over, the cars flashed their lights at him several times and honked their horns.
Someone stuck his head out of the car and said, "Mr. Lu, you're so hard to find lately!"
Lu Yingchi leaned against his car door and pointed at his headlights: "Quiet down."
Almost instantly, the lights of the other cars went out and everyone got out of their cars and walked towards him.
Lu Yingchi knew a lot of people, and trash like Hu Zhuo was only a part of them, but he hadn't gotten together with his friends for a long time.
In the past, he would feel uncomfortable all over if he didn’t go out drinking for a day, but now so much time has passed, and he doesn’t seem to have any problems.
He scanned the crowd and didn't see any mosaics of the legal channel on their faces. He tutted softly, "What a fart! I have to go home."
"Is your house access-controlled or something?" The man who had just greeted him smiled happily. "Are you in such a hurry to go back?"
Lu Yingchi: "Check Lu Ning's homework."
"?"
Everyone knows who Lu Ning is.
But Lu Yingchi is the person who checks people’s homework?
"You're joking, but I'm serious."
"You have one minute left to talk nonsense."
"Hey!" the man stopped talking immediately and put his arm around his shoulders. "I really don't mean anything by that. I heard you had a falling out with that bitch Hu Zhuo at the Zero Ring Line last time, and I've been wanting to find a chance to ask you what happened, but you haven't been there in a while, and you didn't come out when I asked you out, so I had no choice but to come here and block you out."
Lu Yingchi felt sick when he heard Hu Zhuo's name and said impatiently, "Speak of him and get out of here."
"Who cares to mention him? That bitch isn't a good person either," Guo Liyan said. "I just want to get together with you. Is it okay to just have a meal instead of going to the Zero Ring Line?"
In fact, these people in the circle don't look down on Hu Zhuo. He is a nouveau riche with no brains. He thinks he is great just because he has some money. He spends money lavishly and has no bottom line. He can't hide his snobbery and cunningness. If he and Lu Yingchi hadn't gone to the same school, he would never have been able to squeeze into this circle.
Now that Lu Yingchi and Hu Zhuo have fallen out, everyone else is happy to see it.
But Lu Yingchi didn't agree after hearing this, and slapped his hand: "Another day."
Qiao Wu said that he would not interfere with his normal friendships, as long as he kept his eyes open.
The main thing is that Lu Ning has to hand in homework the next day, and she can't change her mind at the last minute, that would be irresponsible.
"Are you still thinking about your niece?" Guo Liyan retracted his hand. "Well, how about we go to your house too? Your dad isn't home anyway, and I heard your golf course has been renovated, so let's go and have some fun."
Seeing that Lu Yingchi was about to refuse, he continued, "You have a good relationship with your niece now, right? We can play with her too. It's just homework help, right? We brothers have college degrees too. We can buy her some small gifts or something."
Lu Yingchi doesn't like playing golf. He thinks it's boring, so he has never paid attention to it.
But Guo Liyan was right about one thing.
He has many friends, but Lu Ning doesn't have many friends. Now that she has changed to a new school, I haven't heard her mention anything about school, and I don't know if there is anyone who wants to play with her.
He is already difficult to manage. If he is not guided properly, he will become a psychopath in the future, right?
Like Lu Jinzhi.
Lu Yingchi didn't answer him, but took out his cell phone and made a call.
Guo Liyan didn't understand what he was doing, and then he heard Lu Yingchi say to the other end of the phone: "Is it okay for me to bring some friends over to play?"
Guo Liyan: “???”
Didn’t they say that Mr. Lu is in the hospital?
I don't know what was said on the other end, but Lu Yingchi's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he scanned Guo Liyan and the others from head to toe.
"Do you usually watch legal channels?" he asked.
Guo Liyan: “…”
“Is it a mandatory requirement to watch legal channels when I visit your house?” he asked uncertainly. “Even though I don’t watch them, I can recite the core socialist values.”
Lu Yingchi's eyes instantly filled with admiration: "He said he could recite the core values of socialism and said he would buy a gift for Lu Ning."
"Six."
After saying that, Lu Yingchi hung up the phone: "Get in the car."
"Wait a minute, is your dad at home?" Guo Liyan was not sure.
If Mr. Lu is at home, you can't just go there casually. You have to change into something more formal.
"no."
"Who were you talking to on the phone just now? Isn't your brother still not back home?"
Lu Yingchi said as a matter of course: "Butler."
There was a sound of gasps all around.
"ah???"
Why are you speaking so humbly to the housekeeper?
What do you mean by "Can you bring friends back?" This is your own home, buddy!
At Lu Yingchi's urging, everyone got on the car in a daze.
The person walking behind Guo Liyan suddenly asked, "Could the housekeeper Lu Yingchi was talking about be the one Hu Zhuo wanted to deal with last time?"
Because the incident happened on the Zero Ring Road, many people like to go there for fun, and everyone's circles are intertwined, so even those who were not there that day can hear something about it later.
Word of mouth spread like wildfire, and the events of that day became extremely bizarre.
At first, it was said that a beautiful woman who had never been seen before drove an off-road vehicle to do a lap and took away Hong Cheng from the scene.
But the people at the gate of the mansion said that the beauty was traveling with Lu Yingchi.
The disheveled Hong Cheng was dragged out of the car by Lu Yingchi and directly upstairs. Then Hu Zhuo and Hong Cheng, who were beaten black and blue, were dragged down from the upstairs by security guards. Even the boss was alarmed.
In the end, Lu Yingchi left with the beauty.
And that beautiful lady is said to be a housekeeper.
"The last time Lu Yingchi took people out on a yacht in Jindao, there was also a big commotion. They turned back halfway before they even reached the shore." The man said, "It is said that when they got off the boat, Lu Yingchi was covered in alcohol from head to toe. No one on the boat dared to touch Lu Yingchi, except for one beautiful woman who chased him in a speedboat. Within minutes of her getting on the boat, Lu Yingchi got angry and broke up with Hu Zhuo, and then everyone returned."
Guo Liyan raised his eyebrows: "Is there such a thing?"
He only knew about the Zero Loop Line and didn't know anything about yachts.
Everyone knows that Lu Yingchi is having a lot of fun. Who would be so capable as to climb over his head?
"Then his housekeeper is quite capable." Guo Liyan said sincerely.
I don’t know about other things, but the one who can subdue Lu Yingchi must be very capable.
"If it's true, then let's go and take a look." The other man's eyes lit up. "This is the first time I've heard of such a butler."
Guo Liyan glanced at him and said, "What does it have to do with you whether it's true or not? He's from the Lu family. We all have our own purposes for coming here today. Wang Ziming, don't be stupid and ruin my business."
The man named Wang Ziming curled his lips and wondered why a butler would be so nervous.
You are even afraid of a housekeeper. No wonder the Lu family looks down on you.
As they were talking, Lu Yingchi had already driven over. Seeing the two men still standing there, he was unhappy and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Aren't we going to your house?"
Lu Yingchi looked at him for a few seconds and asked in a cold voice, "Aren't you going to buy a gift for Lu Ning?"
"Oh oh oh!" Guo Liyan almost forgot about this, mainly because Lu Yingchi had clearly disliked the Lu family before, let alone buying them gifts.
"I know there's a shopping mall near your school. By the way, what does she like?"
Lu Yingchi said without hesitation: "It's for brain health."
Everyone: “…”
Realizing that what he said was a bit ambiguous, Lu Yingchi reluctantly recalled that he really didn't know what Lu Ning liked.
But last time...didn't she come downstairs holding a baby and mocking him?
"Baby." He added.
So the group went to a nearby shopping mall and bought a trunk full of dolls, which made the boss's face burst with laughter.
Although they had known each other for many years, Lu Yingchi had never visited Lu's house as a friend.
In the past, Lu Yingchi only played outside and never mentioned a word about his family. Besides, when old Mr. Lu was at home, no one dared to act rashly, not to mention that there was a Lu Jinzhi before him.
Guo Liyan came with a mission this time. His brother wanted him to get an invitation letter from Lu Yingchi.
The Lu family's dinner this time is not purely commercial in nature and is not open to the media, so not everyone can come, and it's not just about being rich.
Those who came were from large enterprises with close ties to the Lu family or friends in the officialdom. All of these people were from high-ranking families.
Other ordinary companies have no qualifications at all because there is no friendly relationship between them, and they have to beg for help and find ways to cooperate.
If you can get an invitation, this trip will greatly improve your status in the circle.
Guo Liyan has never had much say in his family. After all, his mother's background is not very glorious, and even his father and his half-brother look at him in a not very glorious way.
His only use was that he was about the same age as Lu Yingchi, so they tried every means to arrange for him to be close to Lu Yingchi.
Because of this, he was forced to go to the Zero Loop Line many times, trying to become like them, but he always returned disappointed because he could not fit into that circle. He didn't know what would happen this time, but fortunately, it was just golf.
-
"Lu Yingchi's friends want to buy me a gift?"
Lu Ning, who was still reading in the library, felt that this was a conspiracy after hearing it.
I heard that six people came. Could it be six carts of walnuts?
Lu Yingchi can really do it.
"I'm not going out." She lowered her head. "If they want to play, they can play by themselves."
It’s not as interesting as reading here.
It was quiet here, so she took the books that Qiao Wu had picked out and prepared to read them when she had time.
And she discovered something even more interesting, which was the notes left by Qiao Wu and Lu Jinzhi.
She never thought there would be such an intersection between the two people. It was magical.
It's like discovering another mysterious fairytale castle in a book.
Lu Ning is more than ten years older than Lu Jinzhi. Basically, she has hardly communicated with her second uncle since she grew up.
In her eyes, Lu Jinzhi was like an inhuman robot, whom she could neither see through nor guess.
But for some reason, she seemed to be able to see different Lu Jinzhi and Qiao Wu from these notes.
Qiao Wu did not force her to go out. After all, it was unknown whether the person Lu Yingchi brought back was good or bad. It didn't matter to Lu Ning whether she had contact with him before that.
"Then you can read it here and do your homework. Your uncle will probably be able to check your homework later today. I'll call you when it's time for dinner."
Lu Ning nodded: "Okay."
The Lu residence has its own security system. Without Qiao Wu's permission, the guests' cars were parked in the guest parking lot. Lu Yingchi didn't think of bringing anyone in, so he parked his car outside and asked the security guard to drive the house's mobility scooter to bring in the gifts. He then walked in with the others.
The main reason is that everyone wants to hike to see how big Lu’s residence is.
"Fuck..." Wang Ziming's jaw dropped. "It's probably impossible to approve such a large plot of land for self-construction now, right? How old is your house?"
Lu Yingchi: "I don't know. I heard that my grandfather lived here at that time, and later the old man expanded it."
Only you dare to call your father "old man" like that.
Guo Liyan: "Where's your niece? Give her the gift first?"
"You said you were reading a book?" Lu Yingchi thought the word was quite novel. He had only been to that library a few times. When he was a child, he always went there to look for Qiao Wu.
He was not interested in any of those books, but since Lu Ning was there, he decided not to disturb her interest for the time being, so that she wouldn't blame him later.
Moreover, Lu Yingchi didn't want to bring outsiders to the library.
That is Qiao Wu’s favorite place. She said it is quiet there and it would be noisy if there were too many people.
Seeing that they were almost done shopping, he waved for the security guard to drive over: "Never mind her, aren't you guys going to the golf course? Let's go."
The golf course is some distance away and it takes time to walk.
Everyone could not help but sigh once again at the family's wealth.
Walking all the way from the main gate, we passed by his Chinese-style garden, horse farm, huge outdoor swimming pool, and a bunch of houses whose uses were unknown. Even his car was printed with the Lu Group logo, representing that it was his family crest. Everyone finally understood why his family had racked their brains to get that invitation.
When everyone arrived at the renovated golf course, they saw several people standing outside from a distance, one of whom was particularly tall.
There are special people guarding every place in the Lu family, so everyone originally thought that the man was a servant of the Lu family, but when they got closer, they found something was wrong.
The tall woman stood alone, her head slightly tilted as she spoke to the people in front of her.
She was wearing a sleeveless Chinese shirt, a string of extremely beautiful jade beads around her neck, and a black horse-faced skirt. The sunlight shone on the exquisite hand-woven gold embroidery, making it sparkle.
She was tall and wore a pair of high heels, making her look tall and beautiful. Her hair was tied up with a simple wooden hairpin, revealing her slender neck.
Just looking at the back, several people subconsciously held their breath.
Hearing the car behind him getting closer, Qiao Wu temporarily stopped giving instructions to the servants and turned back to greet the guests.
Now everyone finally saw her face clearly and they were all stunned.
It was a face more dazzling than emerald green jade and more noble than the light and shadow of horse-face embroidery. The smiling eyes under the glasses seemed to have restrained all the brilliance.
Lu Yingchi was very sensitive to the changes in these people. He turned his head and saw that they were all staring at Qiao Wu in a daze, which made him feel very unhappy.
He jumped out of the car and stood in front of everyone, blocking their view: "I can bring them here, what are you doing here?"
"You haven't been here since the area was divided, so I came to give you some instructions." Qiao Wu said gently, "I'll be back soon after I finish."
Lu Yingchi: "Oh."
"Are you going to play here all the time? I'll have someone bring you some fruit and snacks. Will we have dinner in the living room tonight?"
The restaurant where family members eat is different from the one where guests are present.
Lu Yingchi thought to himself, these people are full of looking, what are they eating?
No one is allowed to eat, and we’ll drive them all away after a while!
"They've eaten." He remained calm.
Then a few people got off the car: "???"
"No! How come you've already eaten?" Wang Ziming quickly ran up from behind. "We went straight to you. What did you eat?"
Lu Yingchi glared at him fiercely.
Qiao Wu laughed and patted Lu Yingchi's shoulder gently: "Why aren't you more considerate when bringing friends here?"
Then he asked the others, "Do you have any dietary restrictions?"
Everyone in the group answered in unison: "No!"
"Okay, then I'll excuse myself first." She raised an eyebrow at Lu Yingchi, "See you later."
Qiao Wu got in the car and left.
Now everyone here was in an uproar, surrounding Lu Yingchi and chattering: "Lu Yingchi, who is that, who is that!"
Lu Yingchi didn't want to answer, so he turned and walked towards the court: "It's none of your business, are you still going to play basketball?"
"It must be that housekeeper!" Wang Ziming grabbed Guo Liyan's arm, "Besides her, what other beauty is there! Damn, how can Lu Yingchi eat so well! This kind of beauty can't even make me drink, let alone drink with me!"
Guo Liyan was dizzy from being shaken by him and dodged his hand: "Don't you want to play basketball?"
What ball? Wang Ziming never had the intention to play ball since he came here, and now he had even less intention to play ball after seeing the housekeeper. His mind had already flown away to who knows where else.
Seeing that everyone had already gone in, he had no choice but to follow in reluctantly.
Guo Liyan took a few steps but couldn't help looking back. The woman was no longer on the road.
He didn't know how to describe it, but he felt that if Lu Yingchi was managed by such a person, he would not find it strange at all. It was clearly said that she was a housekeeper, but when he stood in front of her and those shallow eyes looked at him, he didn't even have the courage to speak.
They said they were playing ball, but in reality, no one was paying attention to the ball after entering the court. Everyone was absent-minded.
Lu Yingchi himself didn't like this kind of thing, and soon he left without interest. It was not interesting to correct Lu Ning's homework.
Wang Ziming took the opportunity to move closer: "Tired? Take a break."
"You've been here for only twenty minutes and you're already tired." Guo Liyan said.
"I don't have the physical strength you guys have. How about we go somewhere else?" Wang Ziming asked Lu Yingchi, "You have a wine cellar at home, right? Let's go have a drink."
Usually when they go out to play, they just drink a few drinks. Although Lu Yingchi has no intention of drinking now, Qiao Wu told him to entertain the guests well.
Besides, Qiao Wu never liked drinking, so he rarely went to the wine cellar.
Outside the wine cellar is a large living room with a huge curved bar surrounded by sofas.
Normally, if you bring friends here and just want to have a drink, you can basically eat here, so you don’t have to walk too far.
Lu Yingchi thought it would be better to stay there so that he wouldn't have to run around. He could just drink less, so he took his group to the wine cellar.
He asked someone to bring out some wine, drank a little himself, and then put down his glass.
Guo Liyan glanced at him and asked, "Not drinking anymore?"
Lu Yingchi leaned against the sofa and played cards with them: "I still have to check Lu Ning's homework later, you guys drink, drink as much as you want."
It’s best to drink enough and stop thinking about where to eat.
Guo Liyan had heard him mention Lu Ning many times and felt that Lu Ning must be very important to Lu Yingchi now, so he simply played to his own preferences: "How about going to show her the homework first?"
Lu Yingchi waved his hand: "What's the point of me going over there when you're all here?"
Guo Liyan laughed and said, "How can we not distinguish between the important and the urgent? We can drink anytime, but the child should go to bed early. It's not good to go there smelling of alcohol. Besides, I really want to go see her. I bought her a gift and promised to play with her. What's the point of me drinking here?"
Lu Yingchi paused.
"It's too noisy with too many people," he said.
"They may not go." Guo Liyan kicked Wang Ziming. "Are you guys going to drink here, or go play with Lu Ning?"
There was no way Wang Ziming wanted to play with a little brat.
Besides, the Lu brothers had always been at odds, and Lu Ning's parents died early. No matter how you slice it, it wasn't her turn as a child to make the decisions in the Lu family. It was Guo Liyan who said he wanted to play with Lu Ning, not him, so he shook his head and said, "I won't go. Just bring the gift for me."
Others also said they were drunk and couldn't go.
Seeing this, Lu Yingchi felt a little more relaxed. He put down his cards and stood up: "You guys drink first, we'll be back soon."
Guo Liyan also stood up and left with him.
Seeing the two figures disappear, Wang Ziming sneered: "What a licker! He doesn't even let go of the children."
The person next to him laughed and scolded him: "What kind of good man are you?"
Wang Ziming took a sip of wine and said, "I didn't say I was a good person. By the way, did you see the housekeeper just now? What's her name? I also want a housekeeper like her. Then I'll go home every day."
"You can pull it off, your last name is not Lu, how can people look down on you?"
"It's just money." Wang Ziming said, "Can't I afford a housekeeper?"
It’s just that the Lu family’s one looks much more expensive.
With no one watching over them, they drank without restraint. They just remembered what Lu Yingchi had said: "Drink as much as you want."
I don’t know how long it took, but a few people came in to deliver something.
The servant placed some food on the table and said, "I'm worried that you might feel uncomfortable drinking on an empty stomach. Butler Xiao Qiao, please bring some food over."
The rest were placed at the bar. Some of the fruits might not look good if they were cut and brought here, so half of them were brought here for processing.
Lu Yingchi was not around, and after drinking a few sips of wine, some of the drunken people became much bolder.
"Butler Xiao Qiao?" Wang Ziming sat down at the bar with a glass of wine in hand. He watched the man chopping the fruit and asked, "What's the name of your butler Xiao Qiao?"
"Qiao Wu."
"Qiao Wu..." Wang Ziming laughed to himself, "Do you know how much her monthly salary is?"
The servant was shocked: "We don't know this."
"So what are her responsibilities?"
"a lot of."
Wang Ziming was impatient: "Be more specific."
"We don't really know."
"How come you don't know anything?" Wang Ziming got angry before he even asked anything. The more he looked at this man, the more he disliked him. "Why are all the people here men? Can you do such a detailed job? You can't even cut fruit properly."
The servant looked at the fruit he had cut and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
In fact, there were other maids in the house, but the housekeeper Xiao Qiao said that all the guests today were male and were drinking, so no women were allowed to come.
Now it seems that Butler Xiao Qiao's concerns were correct.
"Tell me what's wrong and I'll correct it," he said calmly.
"I don't think anything is good." Wang Ziming put down the wine glass. "Well, call your housekeeper Xiao Qiao to come cut it. I want to see how the fruit looks like when someone as skilled as her cuts it."
When the others heard that there was a commotion, they stood up and approached. They all laughed when they heard the words: "Do you have money to let them cut it?"
Wang Ziming was provoked and took out a card and slammed it on the bar: "Is one million enough to cut some fruit?"
The servant shook his head slightly: "Sorry, I'm afraid not. Our housekeeper Xiao Qiao doesn't do these trivial things."
Then a hand silently reached under the table, ready to press the alarm at any time.
"Is making a phone call embarrassing for you?" Wang Ziming reached out and patted his face, lowering his voice to threaten, "Fifty thousand for one phone call, that's enough for your salary for many years?"
"Please don't do it."
"You're yelling at me?" Wang Ziming was so angry that he grabbed his collar and said, "Don't be so shameless."
The servant took a deep breath and was about to listen to what housekeeper Xiao Qiao said about pressing the alarm if something happened.
Before he pressed the button, the sound of high heels suddenly came from the door.
Everyone turned around immediately.
The figure that had made them worried for two hours appeared at the door, his expression difficult to discern under the warm light.
Qiao Wu hadn't been able to get through to Lu Yingchi, so she came over to take a look. Unexpectedly, she encountered this scene. She slowly approached, her eyes fixed on Wang Ziming's hand: "Let go."
When they got closer, everyone realized that this woman's aura was really strong, and Wang Ziming subconsciously reduced his strength.
"Butler Qiao." He flexed his fingers and looked at Qiao Wu nakedly. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do anything. I just wanted to talk to your servant. He wasn't very obedient."
"What did he say?" Qiao Wu asked.
Wang Ziming: "He said..."
Qiao Wu glanced at him calmly: "I didn't ask you."
Wang Ziming's mind, which was drunken, seemed to be a little boiling at this moment.
That's exciting, he thought.
The servant straightened his clothes and frowned, "He said he would give me 50,000 yuan to call you, and that he would give you 1 million yuan to cut fruit for him."
Qiao Wu chuckled: "Really?"
"What's your name?" She looked at Wang Ziming.
Wang Ziming immediately picked up the card and came closer: "Miss Qiao, my name is Wang Ziming."
At the moment when the card was about to touch Qiao Wu's face, Qiao Wu suddenly took two steps back.
Wang Ziming missed and almost fell down: "What are you doing!"
Qiao Wu didn't say anything, but walked around them to the back of the bar, picked up the largest watermelon knife on it, slid his fingertips lightly across it, and raised the corners of his eyes slightly.
This action made several drunkards' eyes widen.
The next second, alarm bells rang throughout the living room.
The wine cellar is not far from the library, so when the sound is heard here, it can also be heard in the quiet room over there.
Almost instantly, Lu Yingchi figured out where the sound came from. He cursed and rushed out.
Lu Ning, who was working on the test seriously, was startled: "What's wrong?"
Guo Liyan also wanted to curse, but he comforted Lu Ning: "It's okay, I'll take you to find the security first."
"No, I want to go!"
What if someone gets drunk and breaks into her safe?
These people are not Lu Xuan, how dare they do that!
Guo Liyan couldn't catch it, so he had to follow behind anxiously.
Meanwhile, in the living room of the winery, Wang Ziming panicked when he heard the alarm: "What are you doing? Aren't you cutting fruit?"
"cut."
Seeing the security guards coming in, Qiao Wu came out with a knife in hand: "Xiao Lin, carry the fruit out."
The servant hurriedly followed her outside, carrying the fruit.
The security guards didn't understand what was going on: "Butler Xiao Qiao?"
Qiao Wu hummed and walked to the sofa, asking Xiaolin to put the fruit on the table. He glanced at Wang Ziming casually and said to the security guard, "Hold him down."
The security guard didn't care who it was. The young masters in the family didn't dare to speak loudly to the housekeeper Xiao Qiao. Of course, they only listened to the housekeeper Xiao Qiao and pressed the button as he said, and directly pressed Wang Ziming down.
Before Wang Ziming could react, he was pressed hard on the table by two security guards, his face pressed against the cold table. While struggling, his wine glass fell to the ground and the card in his hand also fell.
When Lu Yingchi and Lu Ning ran in, the entire living room was already quiet, except for Wang Ziming who was pressed on the table and screaming.
He was furious: "You're looking for trouble with me again, I can't kill you."
Qiao Wu stood with his back to him, and when he heard the voice, he glanced sideways: "Stop."
When Lu Yingchi saw her holding a machete, the scene of Qiao Wu threatening him with a knife suddenly flashed before his eyes. He almost jumped up: "It's not me! I didn't drink much. I went to check Lu Ning's homework!"
Hearing his eagerness to defend himself, Guo Liyan inexplicably wanted to laugh, but forced himself to hold it back.
However, seeing that the situation was not as bad as he had imagined, he felt relieved and stood behind Lu Ning, blocking her.
"I know it's not you." Qiao Wu, the center of the crowd, leaned over and picked up the card from the ground. He held it between his fingertips and played with it, saying, "One million for a piece of fruit. Master Wang is really generous. I won't let you down."
Lu Yingchi's eyes widened: "What do you mean one million?"
He picked up a bottle of wine and was about to smash it on Wang Ziming's head: "Wang, who are you insulting with your one million? Who do you think you are to ask her to cut fruit for you? I've never even asked her to cut fruit before! You like cutting fruit, right? I'll chop your head off for you!"
Wang Ziming was so scared that his eyes were about to pop out: "No, no, no!"
"Boom!"
A loud noise interrupted Lu Yingchi's steps forward.
As far as everyone could see, Qiao Wu was standing in front of the wooden table, and the knife that she had originally held in her hand had been thrust into the table.
Wang Ziming, who was still clinging to the table, felt his face and heart numbed by the shock when he saw the silver knife tip falling. He couldn't make a sound at all and was completely dumbfounded.
Where does she get so much energy?!
Qiao Wu looked at Lu Yingchi silently.
Lu Yingchi was frightened by the knife. After meeting Qiao Wu's gaze, he swallowed and silently stepped back holding the bottle of wine.
Qiao Wu withdrew her gaze, and placed her slender fingertips on the hilt of the knife, tapping it lightly. She ignored the gazes of others, smiled, and looked down at Wang Ziming.
"Tell me, which one do you want to eat?"
