Chapter 57 Fishing Bait
Originally, Lu Ning was a little skeptical as to whether her second uncle really liked Qiao Wu.
But now that two more people have suddenly joined the group, she has dispelled many of her doubts, and she also has Qiao Wu's photo.
It’s impossible that everyone likes Qiao Wu, hahahaha.
She continued to flip through the photos, and then saw the photo of five people. She glanced at it and stared at her second uncle who was not looking at the camera but was smiling.
Second Uncle was looking at Qiao Wu and smiling.
The second uncle who smiles must have a lot of bad ideas hidden, it's so scary!
Be sure to remind Qiao Wu to pay attention!
But she made so much money in one night. If her card is blocked again in the future, she will have her own little treasury!
Thinking of this, she never put down her camera when she went downstairs the next day. She wanted to take pictures of everything and followed Qiao Wu wherever he went.
Perfectly become Qiao Wu’s fan club.
Humph, Qiao Wu’s photo is much more expensive than the limited edition photo cards of her classmates.
Qiao Wu finally realized something was wrong after discovering that even when he went to throw away trash, there was still a small tail following him: "Why are you following me?"
Lu Ning's eyes twitched. "The teacher assigned homework. I need to write a weekly diary. I'm collecting materials."
Children do have a lot of homework, but Qiao Wu didn't take it seriously and just let her follow.
Lu Ning is different from other people in the Lu family. She is still young and needs someone to take care of her. There is no problem for her to rely on adults.
Seeing that Qiao Wu didn't ask any more questions, Lu Ning became even bolder and followed suit: "You look better than a celebrity."
Better looking than the person on the small card.
Qiao Wu rarely wears makeup at home, but she has a regular schedule and no bad habits, so she looks very good and has pink lips.
"Thank you for the compliment." Qiao Wu turned around, carrying the bucket. "I'll definitely give you an autograph when I debut someday."
"Then forget it."
Lu Ning shook her head. "A lot of people scolded Lu Xuan at his debut. You didn't see how badly he was scolded."
Recently, Lu Ning and Lu Yingchi have become loyal fans of the actor training camp. They even lurked in Lu Xuan’s black fan chat, and instantly opened the door to a new world.
It turns out that so many people hate Lu Xuan.
Every time I click in with a smile, and leave with anger.
Although she wasn't close to her Third Uncle, Lu Ning was still quite sincere in some ways: "He's not that bad."
So every time she and Lu Yingchi came out of the black fan chat, they would go into the fan chat again to pick out some biased remarks and criticize them harshly.
Qiao Wu tapped her between the eyebrows: "Just read what's said on the Internet, don't be misled. Don't you know what your Third Uncle is like?"
Lu Ning shook her head honestly: "I don't know. He spends more time in front of the camera than at home, although in the end, he didn't produce anything good."
That’s true. I haven’t been home for more than a year, and even when I was home, I often went out.
"If you're not sure, ask him." Qiao Wu said gently, "Don't try to understand people through their mouths. Besides, he's your third uncle. You're closer to him, and he's more capable than you think."
Lu Ning said "oh", but still followed her out the door.
After the two left, Lu Xuan turned out from the stairs. He couldn't help but squint his eyes as he looked at the back.
Walking out the door, Lu Ning looked into the bucket curiously: "What is this?"
"Bait." Qiao Wu said, "For fishing."
She drank and went to bed early last night and didn't play with her father, so she planned to take some time today to accompany him to fish and chat at the lake. She usually didn't have this opportunity because she was busy.
Lu Ning was surprised: "How come you know everything?"
"These aren't difficult." Speaking of this, Qiao Wu suddenly remembered something, "Is there anything you want to learn?"
In the past, apart from being forced to go to school every day, Lu Ning spent the rest of her time either looking for trouble or on her way to being in trouble. She had never thought about learning any special skills or something she liked.
But she is young now and has plenty of time to squander her youth.
Lu Ning held up the camera: "Does taking pictures count?"
"It counts. Everything counts."
“Then I want to learn this.”
Qiao Wu nodded: "How about finding a teacher to teach you?"
Lu Ning was surprised and delighted: "Is this possible?"
"Why not?" Qiao Wu rubbed her head. "You can learn anything you want."
Lu Ning didn't care about anything else and buried her head in front of Qiao Wu and rolled over: "Qiao Wu, you are so nice! Lu Jinzhi doesn't like you, but I do!"
Qiao Wu was taken aback by the sudden words: "What?"
"Second Uncle." Lu Ning didn't dare tell anyone about her selling photos, but she still remembered what she had to tell Qiao Wu, so she exaggerated, "He didn't let me write on the note you wrote to him, so I asked Zhong Shixia, and he said he liked you, so that's why he gave you the privilege."
Qiao Wu raised his eyebrows.
"Then I asked him, and he said he didn't like it." Lu Ning said angrily, "I only gave you privileges because I recognized you."
He knows nothing.
Such nice people don’t like it!
After hearing the whole story, Qiao Wu was overjoyed.
However, this is consistent with her stereotype of Lu Jinzhi. That person is not like Lu Xuan and Lu Yingchi. He can clearly distinguish each kind of emotion and will not be confused.
This also happens not to put pressure on her, allowing her to get along with him comfortably.
But she was still a little embarrassed to think that such a thing had happened when she was unaware, so she warned: "Don't ask adults about their favorite things casually."
"Why?"
"Because you are still young, you don't know many kinds of likes, but adults know a lot. You will understand when you reach adult age."
"Not now?"
"This is a process. Even if I tell you now, you won't understand. You need to experience it yourself."
"oh."
You adults have a lot of things to do.
Originally, Lu Ning wanted to find a chance to ask her second uncle, but now she doesn't dare to go after hearing this.
What if I ask the wrong question and my uncle gets angry?
"Just be careful," Lu Ning lowered her voice. "Whenever my second uncle laughs, it's definitely not good."
For example, her ten yuan bus fare.
She added something veiled in her words: "The happier he smiles at you, the more miserable you will be. Don't believe it."
Qiao Wu laughed: "You know him quite well?"
"This is the result of my discussion with Lu Yingchi," Lu Ning said. "He's suffered a lot."
"Okay, I understand."
Not far away, Lu Jiang and Qiao Zhiyi were sitting on small chairs by the lake, fiddling with their fishing rods. Hearing a faint sound behind them, Lu Jiang looked back and sighed, "It's better to raise a girl."
They can communicate well and accompany their elders.
Unfortunately, he was not destined to have a daughter.
Qiao Zhiyi was embarrassed, but he also acquiesced with a smile. Qiao Wu walked over and placed the bait between the two of them: "Dad, old man."
"Don't call me old sir," Lu Jiang said. "I'm of the same generation as your father. Just call me uncle like before. I'm not in the company anymore."
Qiao Wu readily changed his words and said, "Uncle."
There were many small chairs nearby, so she pulled one over for Lu Ning and motioned for her to sit down.
The latter looked at her grandfather, a little hesitant.
Although they often ate together recently, she still remembered the last time her grandfather beat Lu Yingchi.
Seeing that she hadn't moved, Lu Jiang said coldly, "Why are you still standing there?"
Lu Ning sat down with a bang and didn't even dare to take a photo.
Qiao Wu, who was packing the bait, looked up and reminded, "Uncle, this is the seventh house rule."
Verbal violence against family members is prohibited.
Lu Jiang: “…”
He hasn't said anything yet.
Qiao Wu handed one of the buckets to Lu Ning: "Give some to Grandpa."
The latter looked up carefully, and when he met his grandfather's cold gaze, he immediately lowered his head, put on gloves, and rummaged through the bucket.
Lu Jiang is used to sitting in a high position and is used to giving orders and instructions when talking to people. Sometimes the temperament and expression he carries are developed bit by bit over the years.
"The theory that you become less patient with people you're close to is wrong in itself. It will only wear away the relationship." Qiao Wu looked at Lu Jiang and smiled, "But uncle, you don't have much affection for your family, so you can't stand this kind of wear and tear."
Qiao Zhiyi was so frightened by this that he almost dropped his fishing rod: "Xiao Wu, what are you talking about?"
Hearing this, Qiao Wu leaned closer to her father and said innocently, "Honest advice is hard to hear."
Then he patted the seat next to Lu Ning, who was picking up the bait for her grandfather, and said, "If you're worried about Grandpa, move the chair over here."
With almost no hesitation, Lu Ning put down the bucket beside her grandfather, took off her gloves, moved the chair and ran to sit on the other side, then used Qiao Zhiyi's body to block herself.
Lu Jiang, whose surroundings suddenly became deserted, looked coldly at Qiao Zhiyi, who was sitting opposite him with a little girl.
The latter was a pure and honest man. He scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Look at this..."
I don’t want to watch it, I don’t like watching it.
Lu Jiang lifted the bucket in front of him and put it down heavily to express his dissatisfaction.
Qiao Wu didn't let him go, but leaned over to Lu Ning and said, "Next time Grandpa talks to you like this, you move your chair to the opposite side."
Lu Ning didn't dare to speak, but secretly made an OK gesture to Qiao Wu.
Lu Jiang was so angry that he almost dropped his fishing rod while glancing at them out of the corner of his eye.
Then someone behind him exclaimed, "Oh my god! Something's flying over here."
When he heard it was Lu Yingchi, Lu Jiang's expression eased slightly.
Although it is very annoying, it is a sign of growth that a son is willing to come over.
"Put that..."
Bring me the ones that slipped through the net.
Not to mention that the thought had not disappeared, Lu Jiang didn't even finish his words when a gust of wind rushed past him from behind.
"Qiao Wu." Lu Yingchi led the horse. "Would you like to ride the princess?"
"No." Qiao Wu looked at the lake without moving, and said deliberately, "You will have to ride it back to Lu's house soon, don't make it too hard."
Having offended Lu Jinzhi yesterday, it was a problem for him to get home today. If he went directly to school from Jingshui Villa, he would have to get up at five o'clock.
Lu Yingchi: "..."
He turned his head to look at the princess's strong legs and was really afraid that the princess would be disabled before the horse was sent out.
He pulled a chair over and sat next to Qiao Wu: "Then I won't ride either."
"Uncle Qiao is fishing?" He volunteered to join in. "I can do it too. I can always hook a nest with accuracy. Let me do it."
Qiao Zhiyi was flattered: "No, no, no, the fourth young master can have his own fun."
"I'm tired from playing, so I'm just taking a break." Lu Yingchi said as he fiddled with the bucket. His body was more honest than his mind. He unconsciously moved closer to Qiao Wu and whispered in her ear, "If I catch any fish, tell Lu Jinzhi to return my car keys, and we'll go to Linghuan next week..."
The ear that was holding up the black hair suddenly moved much further away from him.
Lu Yingchi's voice stopped abruptly.
Seeing Qiao Wu lean forward and remove a stone in front of her father, she looked back at him from that distance: "I will be very busy recently."
There was nothing unusual in the sound, but Lu Yingchi just felt uncomfortable.
"Then go when you are free," he said.
"If you want the car keys, go tell your brother directly." Qiao Wu said softly, "You haven't done anything wrong. He won't make things difficult for you. You're his younger brother, so your words will definitely be more effective than mine."
She was sure that Lu Jinzhi did these things just to see these people break down at that moment, and he would not take it to heart. He was not the kind of person who would keep bringing up things that made him angry and make things more troublesome.
"How can that be the same? You are his friend."
Qiao Wu was amused: "In your opinion, friends are closer than family?"
Lu Yingchi didn't say anything else, but instead buried his head in kneading the bait like he was playing with plasticine.
He had an indescribable feeling, but he had no evidence.
Before he could figure out what was going on, there was another thud.
Lu Yingchi was kicked so hard that he almost fell off his seat. He held onto the chair and turned back: "Are you sick?"
Lu Xuan, wearing a hoodie and sunglasses, was holding a small chair in one hand and a fishing rod and a small bucket in the other. He said casually, "This is not a place to eat horse grass. Make way."
Lu Yingchi looked at him, his tone changing drastically: "Can you fish?"
"You can even fish for dragons." Lu Xuan clicked his tongue and said, "Get out of the way."
Lu Yingchi was a bit weird. He was dressed like this for fishing. People who didn't know him would think he was here to steal fish. He sat down hard and said, "It's such a big lake, but you have to squeeze in here with me, wearing sunglasses and pretending to be blind. Don't you know how tall I am?"
Lu Xuan: "I want to ask Uncle Qiao how to fish. Any questions?"
Qiao Zhiyi was in a dilemma and said modestly: "Alas, I'm not very good at it either."
Lu Jiang, who was completely ignored at the side: "..."
No, is he so insignificant?
hello?
Your father is still sitting here with a fishing rod!
"Go find Lu Ning." Lu Yingchi worked hard.
"I'm not." Lu Ning poked her head out. "I'm here to take pictures. I've already chosen the position and angle, and they can't be changed."
Qiao Wu, who was almost squeezed into the lake, didn't understand what was inside those big heads on their necks.
She clapped her hands and stood up: "Since you are so eager to learn, come and sit here with me."
The other three turned around in unison: "What about you?"
"I'll sit next to Lu Ning."
Without saying a word, Lu Yingchi stood up with the bucket in his hand and followed him: "Okay, I'll give you my seat."
He raised his eyebrows at Lu Xuan: "Please ask for advice here."
Lu Xuan: "Tsk."
The seats on the other side were completely full, so he could only sit down there. But he didn't really want to fish, he just wanted to find something to do together. He was about to join Jiang Qi's crew to film, and he didn't know how long he would be gone.
Lu Yingchi is such a tactless bastard.
I'm going to shave all the princess' hair tonight!
Lu Xuan used the fishing rod as a golden cudgel and poked several holes in the ground.
As naive as Qiao Zhiyi was, he actually thought the Third Young Master was here to learn how to fish, and he was very enthusiastic: "Third Young Master, you can't play with a fishing rod like that."
After all these years, this was the first time he was surrounded by young masters and young ladies so enthusiastically.
What a relief.
He smiled and said, "Sir, it's actually quite good to have many children. It makes things more lively."
Lu Jiang, who was alone, asked: "?"
After so many years, he recently discovered that the old butler around him was becoming more and more sweet-mouthed.
He smiled wryly: "Really?"
In fact, Qiao Wu felt it was inappropriate at first, but she also wanted to make Lu Jiang suffer occasionally.
She stood beside Qiao Zhiyi, put his hat on and said, "Uncle, it's okay."
Lu Jiang: "What do you mean, okay?"
Qiao Wu chuckled: "At least they haven't sat across from me yet."
Lu Jiang's face turned green.
It seems that he is being punished as well.
No, who is the boss of this family?
Seeing that he didn't get angry, Qiao Wu patted Lu Yingchi's shoulder and said, "I'll take care of it."
"I said I wanted to make a nest for Uncle Qiao."
"Is he my dad or your dad?" Qiao Wu's face dropped. "I finally have a weekend to spend with my dad. What are you doing sitting here? Don't you have a dad yourself?"
Yes, there are.
But it's almost the same.
Lu Yingchi had never experienced a warm family model, but he had no way to stop Qiao Wu from getting close to her father, so he had to stand up.
Seeing this, Lu Jiang said coldly: "Why, I don't need to make a nest when I fish?"
"You can't walk because of your legs, not..." Before he could finish his words, someone kicked him in the calf.
Looking down, Qiao Wu just retracted his legs.
"If you can't learn to speak properly, I can really make you ride back from here." She said with a smile.
Lu Yingchi swallowed the rebellious words in his throat.
Forget it, it doesn’t matter where you sit.
He picked up a chair and sat down heavily next to Lu Jiang. With his big stature, Lu Jiang felt himself tremble.
Lu Jiang glanced at him and said, "I'm fishing, not frying fish."
"You can't catch them anyway. This cheap fish is not worthy of your precious contract." Lu Yingchi said rudely, "I'll just fry two for you for fun."
Lu Jiang: "Are you very reluctant?"
"So it's not obvious?"
"..." Lu Jiang's expression suddenly brightened. "Then I agree. You are not allowed to return until you have finished using this bucket of bait. Otherwise, I will take away your precious horse as well."
He will make anyone who makes him uncomfortable uncomfortable.
Consume!
"Oh my god."
Lu Yingchi almost dumped the entire bucket of bait on his father's head.
Qiao Wu watched happily and had no intention of stopping it.
As long as we can sit together and communicate, even if there are some bumps, it is progress.
Several people were angry with each other and sat by the lake for two or three hours without moving.
When Lu Jinxia went downstairs, he saw that everyone was almost wilted by the sun, but they were still sitting in the sun. Qiao Wu even held an umbrella to cover the three of them.
The other three princesses knew to go to the woods to avoid the sun because they were too exposed to the sun.
Lu Jinzhi's gaze froze for a moment. What was missing in the Lu family's genes?
He tried to ignore it and walked over and called out, "Qiao Wu."
When Lu Jiang heard the second brother's voice, his ears pricked up immediately.
Qiao Wu Qiao Wu, it’s Qiao Wu again!
The original one in six probability has now been changed to 100%.
Qiao Wu, holding an umbrella, raised his head and asked, "Are you here to fish too?"
"Also?" Lu Jinzhi glanced at the man next to him who was as hard as a tortoise shell, and said calmly, "I don't have such a self-destructive hobby."
Qiao Wu handed the umbrella to Lu Ning and stood up: "What's wrong?"
"There was a collision with an imported cargo ship at Tsushima Port, so I need to go on a business trip." Lu Jinzhi asked, "Do you have any plans for other places these days?"
Tsushima Port is a private port and also belongs to the Lu Group.
"No." Qiao Wu subconsciously asked, "I'm going to the company?"
If Lu Jinzhi and Xu Chao go on a business trip together, she can temporarily take over the responsibility of communicating between the two sides.
"You come with me." Lu Jinzhi said, "Xu Chao stays."
It’s not that he doesn’t trust me, but Xu Chao needs an opportunity to grow, and Qiao Wu is not very familiar with some of the work details, so this choice is the best.
"when?"
"The driver will pick me up in an hour."
Lu Jinzhi looked at the person in front of him. Even though he was holding an umbrella, his face was red after sitting in the sun for a long time, and his face looked softer than usual, which was a little cold.
There were some marks on his face from handling the bait, and he stared at them like he had an obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"Um?"
"There's bait on your face."
"Oh, I didn't notice." Qiao Wu raised his hand to wipe it, but ended up making the dirty mark even bigger.
Lu Jinzhi frowned slightly.
After a few seconds, he took out the handkerchief he brought with him, raised his hand to wipe the marks on her face, and then naturally put his hand down: "You still have time to wash it."
There was only an hour left, so Qiao Wu didn't have time to think about anything else. He just responded and hurriedly turned around and walked towards the villa.
Lu Jinzhi lowered his eyes and looked at the marks on the handkerchief, feeling a little puzzled. The last time she touched him, it didn't seem like this feeling.
My hands are cold, but my face is hot.
He moved his fingertips, closed the fishy-smelling handkerchief, and casually glanced at the people sitting there.
But he found that each of them was staring at him with an extremely strange look. It was so quiet that even the wind seemed silent. He didn't even notice that the fish he had caught with great difficulty had escaped.
Lu Jinzhi felt that if he looked at his own genes any longer, they would mutate. He said calmly, "Let's go."
After the people left, the others finally reacted.
Lu Yingchi: "Why did he wipe Qiao Wu's face!"
"That's right!" Lu Ning agreed, "He clearly said he didn't like Qiao Wu!"
Lu Yingchi: "He doesn't like it?"
"Yes, he said it himself."
"Then why does he keep calling people in the middle of the night!" Lu Yingchi got furious.
Lu Xuan also found it very strange. Lu Jinzhi's attitude towards Qiao Wu was too strange. He called in the middle of the night and said that he was from the foundation, offered to live on the first floor, and wiped his face, but still said that he didn't like him.
Lu Jinzhi never lies, so...
He pondered for a long time before realizing something and took off his sunglasses: "Too much flattery."
It turns out that all businessmen are black-hearted!
Lu Jiang listened to their chatter and was completely confused.
But he knew that the second brother was definitely not that kind of person. He would not flatter someone to death, he would only kill him without mercy.
If the third or fourth brother's face was also dirty, he would definitely kick them into the lake and solve the problem physically.
Something is wrong.
"Should we warn Qiao Wu?" Lu Ning asked naively, "What if Lu Jinzhi takes advantage of her?"
"I'm going to hit you on the forehead with the Chinese dictionary when we get back." Lu Yingchi raised the bait in his hand and threatened sinisterly, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll feed this thing to you."
Lu Jiang had no hope for these children. He took out his cell phone and sent a message to Xie Yi, asking him to pay more attention to the second child.
"I'm leaving now." Lu Ning placed the umbrella on the pole behind her and, after making sure it was well shielded from Grandpa Qiao, said, "You guys can have fun by yourselves."
Without Qiao Wu, her materials were gone.
Lu Xuan was too lazy to continue sunbathing as he was about to be sunburned.
Just now, Qiao Wu brought an umbrella over and held it only for the three of them.
As a result, they were all getting sunburned more than each other, but he was asked to hold an umbrella for Lu Yingchi and the old man?
Don't even think about it.
Apparently the other two thought the same, so the three of them spent the entire afternoon sunbathing.
Lu Xuan put away his fishing rod and said, "I'm leaving too."
Lu Yingchi glanced at the half-full bucket of bait left, thought for a moment, and then rolled it all up into a ball and shoved it in front of Lu Jiang: "Here, go catch a big one yourself."
“…”
Lu Jiang almost fainted from anger.
He was still talking about the second one, all of them were coming for Qiao Wu!
What's the point of making a bait? People don't even need to make a bait or take a fishing rod when fishing for you. Those useless guys will flip over and come ashore by themselves!
