Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Taking You Home
On the yacht heading towards the small islands around Tsushima, dynamic music and lights were mixed, expensive champagne and red wine were poured over people as stimulants, and people were everywhere.
On the terrace, Lu Yingchi was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and his eyes hazy with drunkenness. There were only a few people among the crowd that he recognized, but he had been to such occasions so often that whether he knew them or not didn't affect his drinking.
"Mr. Lu, stop looking so grim now that we're out having fun. What's the matter?" Someone handed over a glass of wine.
Lu Yingchi, who was drunk, didn't think much and asked casually, "Hu Zhuo, how do you deal with disobedient servants in your family?"
"Servant?" Hu Zhuo scoffed. "If you don't like him, just beat him up and tell him to get out."
Beat up?
In the past, Lu Yingchi thought that if he wanted to hit Qiao Wu, she would put her face in his palm without hesitation and ask him if his hand hurt.
But now…
He really wasn't sure, and he didn't know for sure whether this person would take action before him.
"No way, Mr. Lu, you're unhappy because of the servants?" Hu Zhuo fussed. "You have so many servants in your house, why would you care about just one or two? It's just a dog."
Lu Yingchi snorted coldly: "I don't hit women."
"Alright, if you don't want to hit me, I will." Hu Zhuo rolled up his sleeves and said with a malicious smile, "If you're really angry, leave it to me. I'll make sure she's screaming to death and turn her into a good, obedient dog for you."
"None of your business." Lu Yingchi was dissatisfied. "If you don't obey, it will be mine..."
For so many years, Qiao Wu has been by his side and obeyed his orders. Even if he doesn't want her anymore, that's his business and he won't let anyone interfere.
"Okay, okay, don't worry about whether it's a good dog or a bad dog." Hu Zhuo hooked his shoulder, motioned him to look up, and said in an ambiguous tone, "Tonight, let's get away from the city and go to an island to have some fun with whoever you like. Isn't that nice?"
The smell of alcohol made Lu Yingchi frown and slap the dog's paws away. He glanced around casually, and many beautiful faces passed by his eyes, but none of them left an impression.
For no reason, he suddenly remembered the face he saw when he got out of the elevator that day, and it made him calm down for a moment in the noisy environment.
It was Qiao Wu who told him in person not to care about other people's opinions, that he could pursue his own freedom without being bound, and that she would always stand by him, so he did everything that the old man did not allow him to do.
If she wants to control it now, can she do it?
"What's the point of just drinking every time you go out? There are many fun and exciting things you haven't experienced yet." Hu Zhuo handed him another glass of wine and coaxed him, "I guarantee it's all clean. You won't regret it if you give it a try. Which young masters and young ladies in the circle don't have many people around them? Everyone knows it. You wouldn't even dare to do this, right?"
Lu Yingchi's head was stimulated by alcohol, and he stood up with the wine in his hand: "Shut your dog mouth."
He didn't see clearly, so he walked up to a girl nearby and handed her the wine: "Want a drink?"
The girl was startled and turned around and said quickly: "Sorry, I don't know how to drink."
She originally thought it was just an ordinary team-building event with classmates, but when she arrived she realized it was this kind of occasion and she was not used to it at all.
This was Lu Yingchi's first time to strike up a conversation, and he had no idea what to do after being rejected. He also had no interest in forcing others to drink, and he found it very boring, so he turned his wrist, drank it in one gulp, and walked away.
Hu Zhuo, who was watching the show behind him, gritted his teeth, thinking that this girl was not sensible at all, and staggered over: "Do you know who that person was just now?"
"I know, Lu Yingchi."
This yacht belongs to him, how could she not know.
Hu Zhuo scolded coldly: "You knew he was in a bad mood, but you still refused? Don't you know he's in a bad mood?"
“But I really can’t drink.”
"Who is born with the ability to drink? You just learn it over time, don't you?" Hu Zhuo brought a glass of wine to her lips and said, "Drink it."
The girl tightly closed her lips and shook her head: "I..."
"This is Lu Yingchi's boat. This is his territory. He hates disobedient dogs the most." Hu Zhuo found that the girl was even prettier than he had imagined. He lowered his head and lowered his voice. "I happen to be very good at training. How do you think I should train you?"
Lu Yingchi found a quiet place to drink alone. Not long after, he heard someone running over in a hurry: "Master Lu, Hu Zhuo is drunk and bullying Liao Liao. Can you help him?"
Who is Liao Liao?
Lu Yingchi kicked the table in annoyance: "Stupid thing."
He followed the group onto the terrace, where Hu Zhuo was holding a girl tightly and pouring wine into her mouth.
Liao Liao saw Lu Yingchi coming up from the corner of his eye, and he was immediately trembling with fear. In a moment of desperation, he pushed Hu Zhuo away and climbed over the railing: "Don't come over here! If you come over again, I will jump down!"
Hu Zhuo stepped forward: "You jump..."
Before he could finish his words, someone suddenly pulled his collar from behind. Lu Yingchi's face turned dark: "You little bastard, are you sick?!"
"This is the sea, does she dare to jump?" Hu Zhuo almost fell to the ground. He held on to the table, feeling confident. "There's no village in front of her and no shop behind her. What are the chances of her surviving if she jumps? Master Lu, I'm helping you. Why are you so anxious?"
"I don't..."
Before Lu Yingchi finished speaking, he heard a roar coming from the sea, and everyone turned around at the same time.
A speedboat was approaching from afar, gradually slowing down as it got closer. It was obvious that it was heading here.
Hu Zhuo narrowed his eyes: "Who is it?"
Everything belonging to the Lu family is printed with the Lu family crest, and Lu Yingchi recognized that it was Lu Jinzhi's boat.
But Lu Jinzhi is abroad and won’t care about him, so who is this?
Suddenly, a beam of light shone down, right on the man driving the speedboat.
After seeing the person above clearly, Lu Yingchi sobered up immediately. He widened his eyes, pushed Hu Zhuo away, walked to the outside, and stared at the woman on the speedboat.
Because she was driving so fast, she was half wet from the splashes of water. She looked cold and indifferent, even scarier than when she was drawing her sword.
Qiao Wu raised his head slightly, his eyes swept over Lu Yingchi, and when he saw the girl being forced onto the roof of the boat, his eyes suddenly darkened.
Five minutes later, Qiao Wu successfully boarded the yacht.
After what happened just now, many people quietly returned to the living room on the first floor and did not dare to show their heads, so they could see clearly when someone boarded the ship.
A tall and thin woman with bare feet, holding a suit jacket and a pair of high heels in one hand, has neither the youthfulness of a college student nor the glitz of the circle of fame and fortune. The moment she appears under the light, she is like a siren emerging from the deep sea.
Qiao Wu walked up the stairs to the top terrace, and Lu Yingchi was still standing there blankly without reacting.
Hu Zhuo had never seen Qiao Wu before, but when he saw Qiao Wu's temperament and the fact that she was driving Lu's speedboat, he thought she was someone from the Lu family, so he didn't say anything for a while.
Qiao Wu passed the two of them, threw his shoes on the ground, walked up to the girl who was still clinging to the railing, and extended his hand: "It's okay, come down."
If it wasn't for the last moment, Liao Liao really wouldn't have dared to jump down. The moment she saw Qiao Wu, she seemed to have found a supporter. Her body softened all of a sudden. She trembled as she held his hand and slowly stepped onto the ground of the terrace.
The next moment, a coat with a faint smell of books was draped over her thin shirt soaked with wine.
Liao Liao couldn't help but raise his head.
The woman who was half-holding her didn't look much older than her, just a little taller. Her profile was incredibly perfect, and her eyes were clear and dazzling.
"Are you okay?" The voice was gentler than the sea breeze.
Liao Liao said softly, "Not bad."
Qiao Wu looked her up and down, making sure she had no other injuries, and then let go: "Sit down first."
Then he asked, "Do you need to call the police?"
The words "call the police" directly touched the nerves of the other two people. Lu Yingchi finally came to his senses: "Why are you here?"
Qiao Wu pulled a tissue from the table, took off his glasses and gently wiped them. He raised his eyes and asked calmly, "Why don't you come now? Wait until you call me and ask me to clean up the mess before you come?"
The gaze of Qiao Wu without his glasses was even more difficult to bear. Lu Yingchi felt as if his whole body was burned. If it was the Qiao Wu of the past who looked at him, he might have been able to say "So what" with a clear conscience.
But facing the current Qiao Wu, he inexplicably felt the uneasiness of being seen through, which made him subconsciously deny: "It's not me!"
"Who is that?"
Hu Zhuo, who hadn't received a single glance from beginning to end, hurriedly apologized with a smile, "No, don't call the police, we were just classmates joking! Mr. Lu, you haven't introduced yourself yet, who is this?"
"She is..." Lu Yingchi was stuck.
Qiao Wu interrupted him before he could answer: "I have something to tell you."
Hu Zhuo's eyes darted around. Ordinary people couldn't move the Lu family's boat, and Lu Yingchi wouldn't have that kind of attitude. So even if he didn't know the other party's identity, he was still quite a lackey. He immediately walked downstairs: "You guys, I'm leaving now, and I won't let anyone up!"
"Then who, you also..."
Qiao Wu: "She stayed."
"Okay, okay."
When there were no more sounds, Lu Yingchi sat down on the sofa and turned his head: "It was that idiot who did it. It has nothing to do with me."
Qiao Wu didn't say anything. Instead, he put on his glasses and took out the largest wine glass he could find. He filled it with wine, then walked up to Lu Yingchi and looked at him with his eyes downcast. "Is it fun?"
Lu Yingchi couldn't stand her gaze and couldn't help but look away, but when he looked down, he saw her wrist with distinct wrist bones, and then her bare ankles.
No shoes?
His eyelids twitched, and he quickly looked away and asked impatiently, "What on earth are you going to do?"
"Look up." Qiao Wu said.
Lu Yingchi didn't understand what was going on. Just as he raised his head a little, the person in front of him suddenly pressed down on him.
He quickly dodged backwards, but his neck was pressed down by a cold elbow.
Amidst Liao Liao's exclamation, Qiao Wu half-knelt on the sofa with one knee, pressed his elbow tightly against Lu Yingchi's collarbone and lifted it up, and with his other hand, forced the full glass of wine into his mouth.
Lu Yingchi had no idea this would happen, nor did he expect Qiao Wu to attack him. He choked on the wine for a long time before struggling to his feet. He cried out in disbelief: "Qiao Wu!!"
Most of the wine was spilled on his expensive clothes, and the smell of alcohol was strong.
Qiao Wu knew that he was no match for him, so he could only take advantage of his unpreparedness and quickly loosen the shackles and stand up straight when he reacted.
She threw the cup into Lu Yingchi's wet arms and asked, "Is it fun?"
Lu Yingchi's nose was choked by wine and he coughed for a long time before he recovered. His eyes were red and he stared at Qiao Wu.
I can’t stand it anymore!
Smashing the wine glass on his body, Lu Yingchi stood up and grabbed Qiao Wu's wrist, gritting his teeth: "Do you know that I have tolerated you for a long time!"
He wanted to give the other person a taste of his own medicine, so he turned around and looked for the opened wine.
But suddenly Qiao Wu asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Nonsense, I'll let you know how painful it is now!"
Qiao Wu seemed oblivious to the pain. The moment Lu Yingchi picked up the bottle, she calmly raised her other hand and pointed at the girl next to her: "Did you forget? You did the same to her just now. You know how painful it is, but she doesn't? I haven't pushed you into the sea yet."
Liao Liao's eyes widened.
Lu Yingchi froze in his tracks, holding the bottle in his hand, unable to pour the wine.
He was breathing heavily and was furious: "I've told you so many times that it wasn't me who did this!"
"I know."
"Then you still force me to drink!"
"Because no one dares to force you to drink, but Lu Yingchi." Qiao Wu looked up at him, "I hope you can experience this once. If you do this kind of thing, next time I won't come over, but let the police come."
"I want you to come over?!"
"Who do you think will come?"
Lu Yingchi didn't say anything.
Because he was horrified to find that apart from Qiao Wu, he had no way to find another person he could trust and call to come to him anytime and anywhere.
But now Qiao Wu seemed unwilling to come to him.
He tightened the grip on his hands, feeling unwilling and bewildered.
Finally, he could only emphasize in a hoarse voice: "It wasn't me."
Qiao Wu hummed, "So now you understand? Just because you're their backer, the people around you are unscrupulously doing things that make others uncomfortable. It doesn't mean it doesn't matter if you don't do it."
Lu Yingchi said nothing.
"Sorry for getting you wet." Qiao Wu looked at the bottle in his hand calmly, "You can throw wine at me now, I won't resist."
Hearing this, Lu Yingchi uncontrollably handed the bottle forward.
This is Qiao Wu, his housekeeper, who was paid by his family.
If she did something wrong, he had every reason to punish her, and she couldn't complain at all. He would discipline her just as Hu Zhuo had said.
But when the mouth of his wine bottle touched Qiao Wu's lips, his hand suddenly trembled.
Her slender neck raised in a graceful arc, her clothes, half wet from the sea water, were not yet dry, and her eyes were clear and moist.
Lu Yingchi cursed, suddenly let go of her hand, and yelled to the bottom: "Hu Zhuo, get up here!"
Hu Zhuo hurried over upon hearing the sound. Before he could wonder why Young Master Lu had become so embarrassed, he was suddenly pressed down on the sofa by a strong force: "Young Master Lu, you..."
The rest of the words were blocked by the wine bottle.
Lu Yingchi vented all his anger on Qiao Wu into the bottle of wine. Without hesitation, he poured the entire bottle into Hu Zhuo's mouth and body, cursing, "You like pouring wine into me, don't you? I'll let you drink as much as you want. It's all your fault. Stay away from me next time you see me!"
"Sister..." Liao Liao looked at her with a trembling heart, "Is this okay?"
"Yeah." Qiao Wu was still in the mood to eat fruit. "I'll take care of it for him this time."
After hearing this, Lu Yingchi's eyes suddenly brightened. After drinking two bottles of wine, his mood, which had been depressed for several days, suddenly improved. When he turned around and saw the red-bottomed high-heeled shoes on the ground, he paused and kicked the shoes in front of Qiao Wu.
Qiao Wu smiled, lowered his head slightly and put on his shoes.
Lu Yingchi retracted his gaze: "Are you satisfied now?"
"Yeah." Qiao Wu wiped his hands clean. "Let's go. I'll take you home."
Just as she stood up, Liao Liao suddenly stood up, a little embarrassed: "Sister, what's your name? Can you leave your phone number? My name is Liao Liao. I'll wash the clothes and return them to you later."
This dress doesn't look cheap.
After hearing this, Qiao Wu gave her a straight look and chuckled nonchalantly, "It's just a piece of clothing, there's no need to make such a fuss. You're scared, go home early."
Qiao Wu only cares about the people she cares about, and she only believes that everything is in the hands of people. The so-called heroine has nothing to do with her, so she did not look at her too much, and had no intention of making friends with her. In her eyes, she was just an innocent student who was ignorant of the world.
She came here not to save Lu Yingchi's image in the heroine's heart, but simply for Lu Yingchi.
She is her own protagonist.
