Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Show You the Monkey
No one present dared to breathe. The few who had drunk too much sobered up instantly. Who knew if they would be the ones being pinned down on the table in the next second?
And the one who has the final say here is none other than Lu Yingchi, but now Lu Yingchi has retreated with the wine in his arms, clearly meaning that he has no intention of intervening.
But there is someone who has no tact.
"Lu Yingchi! I was wrong, tell your housekeeper to let me go!"
He never expected that Lu Yingchi would sit down on the sofa with a glass of wine in his arms, cross his legs, and completely ignore his words.
When the others saw this, they also took another step back.
Wang Ziming's heart sank when he saw this. From his angle, he could only see Qiao Wu's chin. He tried hard to see Qiao Wu's expression by rolling his eyes, but it was in vain.
"Housekeeper Qiao! Miss Qiao, I really don't know why you didn't do this. It's my fault, my fault."
Qiao Wu had someone cover his mouth.
"That's why I don't like hearing people apologize. If you're wrong, you're wrong, and you have to bear the consequences yourself. Expecting forgiveness with just a few words of apology is incredibly stupid. You and I aren't in a relationship where forgiveness is easy."
She smiled and said, "Tell me, which one do you want to eat?"
Wang Ziming almost knelt down before her, but his legs were weak and he had no idea how he ended up lying on the table, because his lower body was almost numb.
What fruit to eat? He never thought about eating fruit!
"I, I don't want to eat anymore!"
"One million and you say you don't want to eat it?"
Wang Ziming's voice trembled: "I don't want to eat fruit."
"So what are you going to do?"
It was something he knew very well, and even these young masters had never said it explicitly before. But at this moment, after being questioned by Qiao Wu, he found it difficult to speak out, especially in such a situation.
But it was obvious that Qiao Wu would not give up until he got an answer. Wang Ziming had no choice but to close his eyes and squeeze out a few words from between his teeth: "I want to tease you."
Everyone's breathing almost stopped, not to mention Wang Ziming, the faces of the others who followed him felt as if they were slapped in the face, and were burning with pain.
Including Lu Yingchi, he really wants to give Wang Ziming a taste of his own medicine now.
But he was afraid that his face would also be blurred in the future, so Qiao Wu went to visit the prisoner.
So I was tense all over and endured it again and again.
Having said all, Wang Ziming let it all out: "I'm sorry, I didn't recognize the real man! Please let me go, I won't dare to do it again!"
"Taishan?" Qiao Wu said calmly, "If it wasn't Taishan, you could have teased him so easily? What? My servant isn't a human being? If I hadn't come, what would you have done to him? If it wasn't him who came today, what would you have done to that person? Can fifty thousand or one hundred thousand solve it?"
Xiao Lin, who was standing next to Qiao Wu, was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the story could be brought back to himself.
He couldn't help but look at Qiao Wu, but the other party seemed to be talking about something very ordinary.
Wang Ziming had treated other people like this before, but he never thought someone would want to get to the bottom of it.
But at this point, he could only apologize to the man just now: "You are right, I shouldn't have done that!"
Qiao Wu never expected such people to repent, but this wasn't a labor camp, so she had the security guard release Wang Ziming: "Take him to the police station and tell them he's causing trouble."
Wang Ziming, who had just been released and hadn't stood up yet, collapsed again: "W-what?"
If his father knew that he had caused such a big trouble by coming to Lu's house and was sent to the police station from Lu's house, he would be doomed.
"No!" he said in horror. "I'll give you money, I'll apologize, and I won't go to the police!"
"I don't do this kind of loss-making business, and I don't like bargaining." Qiao Wu knocked the blade of his knife. "Just keep your mouth shut, okay?"
Seeing that Wang Ziming was unwilling to leave on his own, several security guards tactfully carried him up.
"Wait a moment." Qiao Wu picked up the card. "Since the fruit has been cut, Master Wang, please swipe the card before leaving. This will cover the loss of the broken wine glasses and table decorations, as well as our Xiao Lin's fifty thousand."
Xiao Lin, who received 50,000 yuan from the sky, responded: "!!!"
After being humiliated, threatened, and sent to the police station, Wang Ziming, who now has to pay over a million yuan in compensation, said: "..."
"Pack up the remaining fruit for Master Wang to take away." Qiao Wu smiled. "It's worth a million after all."
Then he glanced at the others who were stunned and said, "I apologize for the poor hospitality."
Anyone with common sense knew that she was ordering them to leave, and they hurriedly bowed to her and Lu Yingchi and were about to leave.
Lu Ning came out from behind Guo Liyan and said, "Take your things too!"
Some of the gifts were still piled up in the main house, and the others had just been taken to the library.
After hearing this, the remaining security guards immediately turned back to get it.
Guo Liyan, who was betrayed by a group of stupid teammates, now wants to kill someone.
But he didn't have the nerve to ask to stay or ask for an invitation. He forced a smile and followed them to the library to pick up the doll he had bought, muttering, "Sorry to trouble you."
In fact, Lu Ning felt that this person had done nothing wrong. After all, he did come to play with her, and when this person was explaining the questions to her, he was not as fierce as Lu Yingchi, and his attitude was quite acceptable.
But she didn't leave anything behind. As long as she came with those people, she didn't want to leave any trouble.
She stuffed all the dolls into Guo Liyan's arms and said in a childish way, "Be careful when making friends."
Guo Liyan smiled bitterly: "Yeah."
He thought about it and felt very unwilling, so before leaving, he returned to the wine cellar with a bunch of dolls.
At this time, only Lu Yingchi and Qiao Wu were left in the living room.
Seeing him come back, neither of them spoke.
Guo Liyan stood at the doorway without entering, and said shamelessly: "I'm sorry, if there is a chance, I will apologize to you two separately next time, but what Wang Ziming did really has nothing to do with me."
A group of people who can't be considered true friends gathered together for the same purpose, but there were all kinds of monsters and demons among them, and he had no choice.
Although Lu Yingchi was unhappy with everyone, at least Guo Liyan hadn't done anything. He said in a low voice, "Get lost."
Guo Liyan nodded, glanced at Qiao Wu who was still standing in front of the table, his lips moved slightly but he didn't know what to say.
"Goodbye." He said softly.
Qiao Wu nodded slightly.
After everyone had left, Lu Ning crept in from the doorway. She leaned over the table and carefully examined the knife firmly embedded in the surface. She didn't know what to say first, but finally found the obvious one: "You cut off three hundred thousand with one blow."
This table costs three hundred thousand.
Her former classmates at school only managed to save a few dollars on Pinduoduo.
"Didn't Wang Ziming lose money?" Qiao Wu looked at Lu Yingchi, who was holding the bottle of wine without saying a word, and felt as if his world had collapsed.
So she took a clean wine glass, poured some wine into it and pushed it in front of Lu Yingchi: "Do you have something to say?"
The sofa was large and soft, and Lu Yingchi sank into it completely. He looked at the liquid swaying in the wine glass and suddenly said, "Am I quite useless?"
Lu Ning subconsciously wanted to join in the conversation, but just as she uttered the words, she suddenly understood the current atmosphere.
So he changed his tone and said dryly, "You can do the test well, your leg was not broken in vain."
In the past, Lu Yingchi could have argued with her, but today he didn't have the mood to do so.
Because he found that he really didn't do anything well.
The fact that he was able to get into university, which he was so proud of, was the result of a broken leg.
From the beginning on the yacht, all the way to the Zero Loop Line, and then to today, he repeatedly confirmed to bring people back, but there was still chaos.
Qiao Wu was absolutely right when he said that they were not ambitious. He couldn't even tell whether the people around him were human or ghosts. Apart from going to school and leaving school on time every day, he was useless. He could only use this to ask Qiao Wu to stay.
If it weren't for Qiao Wu, if it were someone else, would he also be one of those taken to the police station?
He loosened his grip, and the bottle in his arms rolled to the ground with a dull thud.
Lu Ning had never seen Lu Yingchi like this before. It was like the broken glass on the ground just now, shattered all over the floor.
What's going on? He wasn't the one in trouble, why is he sad?
If it were before, she could have just sat back and watched, but Lu Yingchi had been working hard to help her with the questions recently, and even bought her a doll when he brought his friends over. So she helplessly picked up the bottle and held it, racking her brains: "Actually, you're pretty good at cracking walnuts, each one distinct."
Why does it seem like Lu Yingchi is even more broken after being praised?
Lu Ning was confused and asked Qiao Wu for help.
Qiao Wu probably knew what Lu Yingchi was thinking. The habits he had developed over the years made it impossible for him to easily change his thinking, so he felt so helpless now.
She sat down next to Lu Yingchi and asked softly, "Why do you take the blame for their mistakes?"
"I brought them here."
"So, if they go on to kill and set fire, will you still think the same? Do you think you knew them but didn't stop them?"
"...I'm just useless, not brainless."
"What's the difference between the two? It can be big or small."
Lu Yingchi was at a loss.
Qiao Wu said gently, "The people around you can't determine what kind of person you are. The fact that you can think this way now means you are not useless. Just stay away from them after you see clearly."
"What if I still can't tell the difference in the future?"
"Then will you go along with it?"
Lu Yingchi shook his head.
"Will it stop?"
Lu Yingchi hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly.
Qiao Wu smiled at him and said, "How can you not tell the difference? Even if you go to the street and find someone, you won't know if they are a good person or a bad person. Don't overwork yourself in advance."
But even so, Lu Yingchi's mood did not improve.
Lu Ning still knows how to study hard and read books. Now Lu Xuan also goes to the company to attend classes every day, but he doesn't know what he wants to do.
"Should I go to the company?"
"You want to go?"
"I don't know." Lu Yingchi was reluctant to admit it, but he still said, "When Lu Jinzhi was 18, he was already able to take charge of a project on his own."
"He is him, and you are you." Qiao Wu said, "If this is what you want to do, you can try talking to your father and your brother. They won't refuse you."
"But if this isn't what you want to do, put it aside until you find what you do want to do," she said. "There are a lot of people in your school who are just like you, but aren't they useless? Isn't the time you spend studying a process of finding yourself? If you gain something from it, even if you just make a worthwhile friend in the end, it won't be a waste of time."
Lu Yingchi: "How can they be the same?"
"Why is it different? You were born into a family like this, and that's your confidence. As long as you don't let your family down, you can do anything."
Lu Ning was confused about the rest of what he said, but she understood the last sentence.
Because that’s what Qiao Wu told her at school.
"It means that you can legally and legitimately use your power to bully others and temporarily become a carefree rich second generation." Lu Ning explained.
She rested her chin on the wine bottle and thought for a while: "Lu Yingchi, if you really don't know what you want to do, just be my tutor. When I get into college and grow up to work and earn money, you will also be doing me a good deed. How about I give you a banner every semester? When the time comes, you will look back and realize that you have made great achievements!"
Lu Yingchi slapped her on the back of the head: "Can you please get out of here?"
Lu Ning glared at him: "You don't know how to appreciate kindness!"
"Lu Yingchi."
Lu Yingchi nodded and looked back at the person next to him.
Qiao Wu had poured herself a glass of wine at some point. She raised it and gently touched the glass of wine on the table that had not been drunk yet, then drank it all in one gulp.
“Being yourself is also a difficult thing.” She said seriously, “So it’s amazing if you can be yourself.”
Lu Yingchi's heart, which had been weighed down for a long time, suddenly jumped like a huge rock above him, causing him to struggle and wake up from his confusion.
He moved his numb body, leaned over and picked up the wine glass on the table: "Got it."
"Eat? Lu Xuan should be back soon."
The two stood up from the sofa. Seeing Lu Ning still holding the wine, Lu Yingchi frowned: "Do you still want to learn how to drink?"
Lu Ning blinked after being exposed.
She thinks Qiao Wu is so cool when he drinks!
"Aren't we going to celebrate with dinner later?" She avoided the question.
"Celebrating what?"
"Celebrate your growing up."
Lu Yingchi took a deep breath and grabbed her pigtail: "I gave you a very nice look today, didn't I? Put it back!"
We had originally planned to have dinner in the living room and dining room today, so we prepared a lot of dishes. Now that everyone has left, we are too lazy to move, so we just sit at the same big round table.
Unlike in the past when everyone ate separately, at first glance it really feels like a family having dinner together.
While eating, Lu Yingchi's cell phone rang. He took a look and saw that it was a message from Guo Liyan.
He wanted to block every one of these people he saw today, but Guo Liyan asked him to convey his apology to Qiao Wu.
Lu Yingchi didn't understand: "He's already standing in front of you, why are you still asking me to convey it?"
Also sent a separate message.
Qiao Wu couldn't read minds, so naturally he didn't know what these people were thinking: "Tell him I know."
"Then please tell him that too." Lu Ning leaned over to look at his phone. "Tell him thank you for helping me with my homework and reading with me today."
Lu Xuan was sitting at the outermost position, next to Lu Ning. He saw Lu Ning moving her chair away from him and moving towards Lu Yingchi. He narrowed his eyes slightly.
I discovered this a long time ago. I don't know how Lu Yingchi and Lu Ning got closer and closer. They used to quarrel over just a few words, but now they even have a common social circle?
We went out together in the morning and had dinner together in the evening, so at which stage was he absent?
Of course, he didn't mean to get close to Lu Ning or Lu Yingchi, he just felt inexplicably excluded.
He, Lu Xuan, is the future star.
Being excluded?
What a joke!
Lu Xuan was drinking soup, and the spoon hit the edge of the bowl with a crisp sound, bang bang bang!
But no one cared about him at all.
Lu Yingchi slapped Lu Ning's head away and said with a sour face, "Why didn't I hear you say thank you to me?"
Lu Xuan couldn't help it and forced himself into the conversation: "Haven't you heard enough?"
Lu Ning's voice in the morning bell every day has almost become his inner demon.
Lu Yingchi thought about it and decided to forget it. He casually replied to Guo Liyan.
Qiao Wu didn't know what happened in the library later, so he casually asked, "Did that person go to play with you?"
"Yeah." Lu Ning nodded. "Lu Yingchi doesn't like reading, but that guy does, and he talks about it very clearly. He also recommended a few books to me."
If it were in the past, Lu Yingchi would have hesitated, but now he has changed.
He is Niuhulu Lu Yingchi!
"Don't speak for others just because you are given a candy. You may get cheated without knowing it." He poured cold water on me.
"Yes, yes, yes." Lu Ning sneered, "You were awake. You turned and ran when you heard the alarm. At least that person knew to take me to find security first."
Lu Yingchi: "..."
"And I didn't ask for his gift." Lu Ning felt that she was very cautious because she never made friends and no one could hurt her.
"He even asked us to have dinner with him outside." Lu Yingchi looked at his phone and said, "Is he sick? Does he think I have amnesia?"
He now had a brain: "These people said they came to play with me and see the golf course, but they got bored after playing for a few minutes and still looking for trouble. They must have some hidden agenda. I won't be fooled. Let them play by themselves."
He is truly a young master who came out of an ivory tower and has no idea of the sufferings of the world.
Qiao Wu ate his food slowly and said softly, "He must have something to tell you, otherwise he wouldn't have said it so many times. Let him speak directly, you can't understand it with your brain."
Lu Yingchi almost crushed his phone!
"I understand!"
Even so, out of consideration for Lu Ning, he still sent a voice message, saying, "If you have something to say, just say it. I don't have time to beat around the bush."
Guo Liyan didn't expect Lu Yingchi to be so direct, but he didn't have the face to say it out loud now.
After thinking about it, he also called to express his sincerity: "I really want to invite you to dinner alone to apologize. If you think it is possible, can you give me an invitation to your dinner party?"
Depend on!
"Don't even think about it!" Lu Yingchi hung up the phone. "I told him he had a purpose! The dinner list has already been drawn up, it's none of my business."
Feeling unsatisfied, he cursed, "Lu Jinzhi is this rare monkey from some zoo? So many people want to see him."
Lu Xuan touched the phone on the table and really regretted not recording this sentence.
Otherwise, one more person would have his card suspended along with him.
Qiao Wu wasn't too surprised. She explained, "The invitation in the Lu family's name has indeed been drafted, but not in your name. If you have friends who want to come, you can tell me. It's just a private party, so friends are still eligible. However, only your friends can come, no one else."
"Those people are all useless. What can they do here?" At this time, Lu Yingchi had self-awareness.
Qiao Wu laughed: "That's hard to say."
Lu Yingchi felt that this was not right: "Don't you hate Guo Liyan?"
"His name is Guo Liyan?" Qiao Wu nodded. "Why do you hate him?"
Lu Yingchi: "The purpose is too obvious."
"Fourth Young Master." Qiao Wu turned around, propping up his chin, his eyes tinged with amusement. "You were born in Rome, so you naturally don't know how far some people have to go to get there. He might have a purpose in approaching you, but if you also get what you want, then why is this kind of approach wrong? It's just like how Hu Zhuo and the others provided you with emotional value, so you were willing to spend money on them."
If she remembered correctly, when she turned around today to stop Lu Yingchi from rushing forward with a bottle of wine to hit someone, she saw Guo Liyan standing at the door, protecting Lu Ning behind him.
He didn't say anything out of line from beginning to end, and didn't even dare to speak when he left.
"Business partnerships emphasize a give-and-take exchange of benefits, so why shouldn't life be the same?" Qiao Wu said. "If someone uses legitimate channels to get what they want, that's their own effort and their own method. I don't dislike such people. Whether others accept it or not is another matter."
At present, Lu Yingchi does not have anything that he needs to please others to get.
No, there is one.
He looked at Qiao Wu and suddenly understood.
In order to get Qiao Wu to stay and not change jobs, and to get her to pay more attention to him, he is willing to listen to her. Even if he doesn't get along with Lu Ning, he will still teach Lu Ning how to do homework. Is this his method?
"If you feel happy, then it's okay to give the other person a little sweetness," said Qiao Wu.
Lu Yingchi's thoughts began to go astray, and he began to identify himself with the situation.
She was happy, so she would chat with him and drink with him.
Qiao Wu: "If you don't like him, it just means he doesn't suit your taste. Just reject him."
Lu Yingchi's reflex was: "No! You can't refuse!"
"?" Qiao Wu raised his eyebrows, "What does it have to do with me?"
"I mean..." Lu Yingchi came back to his senses, "Well, you're right, we should give him some sweet treats."
Otherwise, what if you reject me next time?
Lu Yingchi put himself in Guo Liyan's shoes and thought about it, and suddenly felt a strong sympathy with him.
Anyway, Lu Ning was happy today. Guo Liyan had indeed accurately met his needs and preferences. He had provided him with the options he liked in the wine cellar, which was very considerate.
Qiao Wu stopped here.
If it were someone else, perhaps she wouldn't need to explain these things, but Lu Yingchi and the others were stubborn. They had been in a greenhouse for too long and didn't know how dangerous society was. They might develop their own unique way of making friends in the future, so that might be a little difficult.
As for whether he would continue to be friends with Guo Liyan, that was not within her consideration.
"But that's limited to you," she said. "You only know this person, not their family or circle, so don't give them any extra rights except to certain people. As for how they handle this opportunity, that's their business."
Lu Yingchi: "Oh, then I'll give him a sweet treat."
He blocked everyone today except Guo Liyan, and then sent a voice message to Guo Liyan.
"Don't eat. You can come if you want, but you can only come alone." He snorted, "It's just Lu Jinzhi. I'm giving you a chance to see the monkey."
Qiao Wu: “…”
Lu Xuan: “!”
Recorded it!
Ahahahahahahahaha!
