Chapter 63 Chapter 63 Meeting Gift
The Lai family has four children. Due to the complicated family environment and the four mothers, they have always been aware of the struggle for inheritance. They pretend to be brothers in front of their father, but they are no different from enemies outside.
But this time, Lai Yunjiao came to pick up Lai Shen sincerely.
Some time ago, the fact that his father allowed Lai Shen to go to the mainland to make a living caused dissatisfaction among other people in the family. Once Lai Shen expanded his business in the mainland, his words would definitely carry more weight in front of his father. Why did that idiot get such an opportunity?
But she never expected that not long after she arrived, people from the mainland would complain to her father, and her father was very angry that night.
Later she found out that Lai Shen had a conflict with the fourth son of the Lu family, one of the richest families in mainland China, as soon as he arrived there. He was thrown into the street in public and taken to the police station.
It’s a pity that he covered his face and was not photographed, otherwise he would have been kicked out of the house by his father.
So many bodyguards couldn't protect a fool. Lai Yunjiao would laugh in her dreams in the middle of the night. This time, she took the initiative to tell her father that she was coming to pick up Lai Shen and take him home, just to see how miserable he looked.
Lai Yunjiao had heard of the Lu family for a long time. Apart from the fact that their family was wealthy, it was mainly because of the woman named Qiao Wu.
Qiao Wu suddenly appeared in the circle two years ago. She was a person with decent looks but very low manners. It was only because she kept saying that she was related to the Lu family that she was able to get involved in the circle.
Like a fish, disgustingly slippery, vain and boastful.
The Lu family was a gilded image she had given herself. She said that she had a very good relationship with the young masters of the Lu family and everyone listened to her.
Especially Lu Jinzhi, she said that she and Lu Jinzhi were childhood sweethearts and that she would be the one to assist him in the future, and she even expressed her relationship with Lu Jinzhi in an ambiguous way.
Lai Yunjiao grew up in a family full of intrigue and deception, so she naturally wouldn't take such talk to heart, nor did she think about paying attention to such a person. However, she didn't expect Qiao Wu to take the initiative to dance in her face.
Although they are both in the country, there are always many people who consciously or unconsciously compare the Hong Kong business district with the mainland business district.
Especially those top figures, such as the four sons of the Lai family and the four sons of the Lu family.
They are all four children, but they have to compete to see who is better.
At a party, someone started joking, and the drunk Qiao Wu really thought of himself as a big shot. He openly brought up the Lai family's private affairs and made a lot of comments about the birth of the Lai family's four children.
Although it is a tacit agreement, no one with a common sense would say this to the person in question.
Lai Yunjiao didn't like being bullied by others, especially such a simple-minded person, so she slapped her directly, but the ignorant person actually poured wine all over her.
If the people around her hadn't stopped her, she would have had Qiao Wu skinned alive.
Later, people in the circle basically would not pair her with Qiao Wu when they organized a party, and Lai Yunjiao didn't know when this person returned to China.
She lowered her head and searched for news about the Lu family in mainland China on her phone, only to find that the Lu family was very lively recently.
Lu Jinzhi returned to China, Lu Xuan was filming, and Lu Yingchi was also photographed online a few days ago because he had a straw bag outside.
And there is a common figure beside these people.
Lai Yunjiao enlarged all the news pictures and found that Qiao Wu in the pictures was not the same as she remembered. If it wasn't the same face, his expression and eyes didn't look like the same person.
"Miss San." The driver stopped the car. "They got off at the hotel entrance."
"She dared to stay at the Lai family's hotel." Lai Shen clenched his fists, making a crackling sound. "She's finished."
Lai Yunjiao curled her lower lip, but had no intention of stopping him.
If Lai Shen really causes trouble, Qiao Wu will be dealt with, and Lai Shen will also be dealt with.
She reaps the benefits, so why not?
However, after being bullied once in the mainland, Lai Shen was not in a hurry to take action. There were still many people around Qiao Wu, and he had to go back to his father tonight, so he couldn't cause trouble at this critical juncture.
He instructed the driver: "Go and ask those people how long they have booked the room."
The driver subconsciously glanced at the third young lady, and seeing that she seemed to agree, he got out of the car.
After a while, he came back and said, "I booked two suites, one for only one night, and the other for two nights."
Lai Shen said, "I'll stay in my usual room for two nights."
"OK."
Lai Yunjiao didn't say anything, but she sent a message to the hotel manager to vacate the room for her for two nights.
She wants to watch a play.
Qiao Wu arrived at her room. The hotel manager was checking her in. She sat on the sofa and asked, "Has Miss Lai San returned to China?"
The manager who had just received the message from Miss Three turned around and asked: "Ma'am, do you know our Miss Three?"
“Not really.”
The manager apologized, "We don't know the boss's whereabouts."
Hearing this, Qiao Wu looked up from his phone: "It's okay, I just wanted you to say hello to her for me and pass on a message."
"Please go ahead."
Qiao Wu smiled and said to her, "I hope my partner and I won't encounter any accidents in the Lai family's hotel."
The manager was a little confused, but still assured: "As long as you enter our hotel, your personal safety will be guaranteed. Don't worry."
Qiao Wu took out one of his business cards and placed it in the manager's hand: "Please pass this to her for me."
"We can't see Miss San all the time," said the manager.
"It doesn't have to be in person, as long as she knows my contact information." Qiao Wu smiled, "Just ask her if she likes the gift I gave her."
Owed?
The manager nodded hesitantly.
It seems that this lady really knows the third young lady.
People who live in the hotel's top suites are generally not ordinary people, so the manager did not dare to neglect them. She accepted the business card and said, "I will do my best."
After everyone left, Qiao Wu returned to the sofa and sat down.
If nothing unexpected happens, Lai Shen has already returned. That petty-minded guy will definitely not let it go after what happened.
The reason why she came along this time, apart from the previous reasons, was also to resolve the hidden danger of Lai Shen.
She had realized it in the store that day. Lai Shen was a jealous, simple-minded, reckless and bullying person. After suffering such a big loss, he would definitely bear a grudge against Lu Yingchi and implicate other people in the Lu family. He would definitely find out the whole situation of the Lu family.
As luck would have it, Lu Xuan had to film in Hong Kong for a while. She couldn't stay here all the time, so she had to make all the necessary preparations.
So that day in the store, she suggested that Jiang Yuan contact the other members of the Lai family first, so that at least what happened to Lai Shen in the mainland would reach the ears of others.
Lai Yunjiao and Lai Shen are competitors, so they will naturally be happy to see this.
This was a gift she gave to Lai Yunjiao, and also a way for herself to come to the port area.
Lai Yunjiao is smarter than Lai Shen and will definitely be able to figure out the key.
When Lai Yunjiao received the call, she was sitting on the leather sofa, eating fruit and watching her father scolding Lai Shen, that idiot.
He has grown up but still doesn't know how to restrain his edge and doesn't even know how to do business.
Her father never hit anyone in the face, but it really made people feel good to see him hit Lai Shen.
The harder the beating, the better. Then Lai Shen will blame all the faults on Qiao Wu and the others.
But how did the Lu family get to this point today? How could someone like Qiao Wu assist the Lu family's leader?
They are all idiots.
Seeing the hotel calling, she stood up and walked away a little, finding a better position that would not affect the viewing or the call: "What's the matter?"
"Miss Third, a guest named Qiao Wu in the hotel gave me a business card and asked me to pass it on to you. He said he wanted to say hello and send you a message."
"Give it to me?" Lai Yunjiao seemed to have heard a funny joke, "What are you talking about?"
"She said she didn't want anything to happen at the Lai family's hotel."
Lai Yunjiao raised her eyebrows almost imperceptibly.
It seems that Qiao Wu went to Lai's hotel on purpose.
What do you mean? Did you know that you would be dealt with by Lai Shen when you came to this place?
When did Qiao Wu become so smart?
"don't want."
After saying this, Lai Yunjiao prepared to hang up the phone.
The hotel manager hurriedly said, "She also asked if you liked the gift she gave you."
What rudeness? She must be dreaming.
Lai Yunjiao hung up the phone and was about to go back to the sofa, but when she saw Lai Shen kneeling on the ground and being beaten so hard that he didn't dare to make a sound, she suddenly stopped.
After the call was hung up, the manager was thinking about what to say to Qiao Wu when he met him the next day, but suddenly he received a message from the third lady.
"Take a picture of your business card and send it to me. Prepare my room. I'll be here in a bit."
Huh?
When Lai Shen, who was severely beaten by his father, turned around, he found that Lai Yunjiao, who was watching the show, had disappeared.
Well, today he was in a hurry to chase someone and didn't pay attention to Lai Yunjiao, so it would be better for her not to get involved.
He went upstairs and had the doctor give him some medicine, and then he received a message from the private detective he had hired.
These are not news that need to be dug deep. Qiao Wu has a close relationship with the Lu family and is the Lu family's housekeeper.
housekeeper?
His housekeeper had to bow and nod when he saw him, but why did Lu Yingchi do the opposite when he saw Qiao Wu!
Qiao Wu's schedule was difficult to check, but Lu Xuan was very easy to check. Lai Shen didn't want to let anyone from the Lu family go.
Since Lu Xuan is going to film in Hong Kong for a while, this person can be put aside for the time being. Things in the entertainment industry are very simple.
As for Qiao Wu...
Lai Shen called the hotel manager and said, "Send me an invitation."
At dinner time, Lu Xuan came to Qiao Wu's room to find her.
But she saw Qiao Wu changed her clothes. She had changed from the light sweater she wore in the morning into a simple and sophisticated suit and dress. "Where are you going?"
"The fourth son of the Lai family invited me to dinner. Are you going?"
"Who is that?"
"We'll talk on the way."
On the way to the appointment, Lu Xuan's brows furrowed as he listened to Qiao Wu's words: "Then how did he know you were in the harbor?"
"Because the hotel we're staying in is his."
"That's also..." Lu Xuan still felt something was wrong. "How could someone like that be willing to apologize to you? There must be something fishy going on!"
Qiao Wu gave him a rare appreciative look: "Now you can be considered sharp-eyed and sharp-eared."
“There are so many people like this around me.”
Lu Xuan judged others by himself. If anyone pressed him to the ground and rubbed him like that, even if his father broke his legs, he would use his bones to pierce that person into hell.
After he finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment: "You know?"
Qiao Wu raised his eyebrows silently.
All I can say is that Lai Shen has some brains, but not much.
It was he who had a conflict with Lu Yingchi, but now he sent the invitation letter to a housekeeper. It was probably because he saw that she had a good relationship with Lu Yingchi that day and investigated her. Otherwise, how could he ask a housekeeper to apologize.
From Lai Shen's perspective, he returned to the port area and was taught by his father, so he realized that he was wrong and apologized.
But from Qiao Wu's perspective, I just stayed in your hotel for an afternoon, and you even found out my room number. Who would believe it?
"You knew that, but you still went?!"
Lu Xuan was anxious. How could someone who usually looked so smart be so stupid now?
This is in the port area, and it would be difficult to call for help if something happened.
"I'm going back the day after tomorrow," Qiao Wu said, "but I'm worried if you stay here."
Lu Xuan immediately asked the driver to turn around: "I'm a grown man, what can he do to me?"
"Don't worry." Qiao Wu comforted him, "Nothing will happen. Otherwise, why do you think I booked a hotel here?"
"Have you already figured it out?"
"More or less."
Seeing Qiao Wu's confident look on his face, Lu Xuan felt very uncomfortable.
So she didn't come to accompany him, but because she was worried about his safety and came to clear the obstacles for him.
Obviously, he is the older brother.
When will he be able to truly protect her?
An hour later, the two arrived at the place they had agreed to meet with Lai Shen, only to find that it was a yacht.
If we go up there, we will be unfamiliar with the place and it will be more dangerous than on land.
Lu Xuan looked back at Qiao Wu's calm expression. She must have guessed it.
So he didn't say much, but followed Qiao Wu onto the boat.
Lai Shen had been waiting on the deck for a long time. He didn't mind seeing one more person coming. He was even happier. The more people came, the better, so he didn't have to deal with them one by one.
He acted very conscientiously, completely different from the arrogant look he had at dinner that day. He walked up to me with a smile and said, "I saw you at the airport today and thought I was seeing you wrongly. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."
Perhaps because this was his territory, he spoke with much more confidence. He turned his gaze to Lu Xuan and asked knowingly, "Who is this?"
"Lu Yingchi's brother, the third child of the Lu family, is Lu Xuan." Qiao Wu took a step back and stood behind Lu Xuan. "I think if Fourth Young Master Lai wants to apologize, it would be better for him to say it to his brother, so I called him along. You don't mind, do you?"
"Of course not!" Lai Shen happily turned sideways, "Please come in, both of you."
Watching Qiao Wu passing by him, Lai Shen lowered his eyes slightly.
He had only seen him from afar or through photos these times, but seeing Qiao Wu up close was even more different than he had imagined.
Even when she was walking behind Lu Xuan, she was still calm and composed, without any of the humility of other housekeepers, and she had a natural temperament.
If you don't know her identity, who would know that she is a housekeeper?
But it's just a shell after all.
Although there are few people who look like her, there is never a shortage of beauties around Lai Shen. It is even more difficult for him to accept a disgusting person hanging around him.
He still hoped to see the other person become miserable, even more miserable than him, and wag his tail and beg for mercy.
As for Lu Xuan.
Lu Yingchi dared to embarrass him in public, so what if he disciplined Lu Xuan?
Thinking of this, Lai Shen smiled sinisterly, said hello to the crew and followed.
Lu Xuan in front of him had been deliberately slowing down his pace, but when he walked slowly, Qiao Wu slowed down even more and insisted on walking behind him. He couldn't help but ask, "Why are you walking behind?"
"I'm the housekeeper." Qiao Wu gestured for him to look forward. "Housekeepers are easy to bully."
"He dares!"
"Shhh."
This yacht has three floors and a lot of space.
Lai Shen came up from behind and said with a smile, "The view from the boat at night is the best, so we chose this place for dinner. I can take you for a tour, don't you mind?"
Qiao Wu didn't say anything, but gently poked Lu Xuan on the back.
"..." Lu Xuan's face darkened. "Whatever."
Lai Shen's smile grew even wider: "Then please take a seat. I'll have the chef serve the food in a moment."
"Last time, it was all a misunderstanding." He didn't even bother to help, instead pouring the wine himself. "It was that man named Hu Zhuo who said some unpleasant things, and I got so angry that I offended the Fourth Young Master. Since the Third Young Master is here, please say a few more words for me. Although we're far apart, it's inevitable that our two families will have business dealings when I go to the mainland in the future. It would be embarrassing if there was too much of a fuss."
After saying that, he took a sip of the wine himself, indicating that there was nothing wrong with the bottle of wine.
Lu Xuan glanced at Qiao Wu and saw that he didn't react, so he said, "No, my family has strict parents and won't let me drink outside."
Qiao Wu: “…”
Lai Shen: “?”
Don’t think he hasn’t read the information. Lu Xuan is a person who hangs out in various bars and parties. How could he not drink?
"It's okay." His goal wasn't the wine either. "Miss Qiao, would you like some?"
Lu Xuan said unhappily, "She's my housekeeper. Who will take care of me if she gets drunk?"
"I'm inconsiderate. I'll give you something else to drink? What would you like to drink?"
Seeing that Qiao Wu never interrupted him, Lu Xuan became more and more comfortable. He was good at playing this kind of role. "Water."
His acting skills have really improved now. Qiao Wu didn't notice when he said he had no money this morning.
Lai Shen didn't notice it at the moment and even asked someone to pour them some water.
Unexpectedly, water poured in. Lu Xuan frowned again: "I usually don't drink filtered water, forget it."
Lai took a deep breath.
How come the third son of the Lu family is even harder to serve than him!
"The boat has already sailed. Why don't you see if there's anything else you'd like to drink? I'll definitely treat you next time I have the chance."
Lai Shen's words almost revealed his gnashing of teeth when he spoke the last few words.
"No more." Lu Xuan pushed the cup away, crossed his arms and leaned lazily to the other side, "I feel a little seasick."
With a brain suddenly falling on his shoulder, Qiao Wu now only wanted to throw this overreaching person into the sea.
She smiled and said to Lai Shen, "That's right."
"Why did I hear that your family also has a port?"
Qiao Wu remained calm and said, "He's just a young man in the entertainment industry. How would he know anything about the port?"
The Lu family has three useless members.
Lai Shen laughed in his heart, but he didn't say anything: "I didn't think it through. Let's take a break. The night view outside is nice. Do you want to go and see it? It can distract you."
"OK."
No one touched the things on the table.
Qiao Wu felt that no matter how stupid a person was, he would not tamper with the food he ate. However, when he thought about what Lai Shen had done, he became unsure.
To be on the safe side, she would not take any food or water that she was not familiar with.
There are many small sofas and a small brazier on the deck.
So you won’t feel cold in this kind of weather. For this trip, Lai Shen has done all the superficial work.
Since Lu Xuan played up his seasickness personality to the extreme, Qiao Wu was forced to sit on the same small sofa with him.
"I have a headache." Lu Xuan rubbed her shoulder, "Press it."
Qiao Wu smiled slightly, tilted his head and whispered in his ear, "Can your brain withstand my strength?"
Lu Xuan: “…”
What? You let him act but you don’t let him take advantage?
He already agreed to break that shit, but he can't even stick to it for a while?!
He's going to post it!
Thinking of this, he bumped his head against Qiao Wu's shoulder even more.
"Too thin." He bumped his forehead against a bone and pressed it with discontent. "Did Lu Jinzhi pay you? You do all that work and you don't even get money to eat?"
Qiao Wu pinched his wrist and narrowed his eyes: "Be careful."
Lu Xuan withdrew his hand in disappointment.
Lai Shen, who was sitting opposite the two of them, let out a low humming sound when he saw this.
Anyway, he wouldn't be twisting and turning on his butler like that. There's definitely something wrong with these two people.
Thinking of the day when Lu Yingchi ran to Qiao Wu to ask for a touch, he suddenly had an idea. He took out his mobile phone and secretly took a picture, then released Hu Zhuo from the blacklist and sent the picture to him.
"Find a way to send it to Lu Yingchi."
The other party quickly replied with a word of good.
Lai Shen glanced at the sea and estimated that the time was almost up.
He stood up and walked over to the two men. "If you're seasick, getting up and looking at the sea will help. It'll distract you. Do you want to try?"
"No need." Lu Xuan raised his eyelids. "As long as you don't see any dirt, it's fine."
Lai Shen frowned: "Are you talking about me?"
"Do you really have to take the right seat?"
"Lu Xuan," Lai Shen said arrogantly, his chin raised. "I invited you here today out of kindness to apologize. If you don't appreciate it, then we can't have this meal. Isn't there an old saying, 'Be polite before using force?'"
"Lai Shen," Qiao Wu asked, as if he had just realized something. "Didn't we say we were going to see the night view? But why can't we see the coastline anymore?"
"Of course." Lai Shen put his hands in his pockets and grinned. "Before I gave you the invitation, I had someone confirm the route. Today's ship is not going to see the night view, but to the high seas."
"Why?"
"You sent the police to arrest me inland, but who do you want to arrest me on the high seas?" Lai Shen whistled and walked to the guardrail. "Since you don't want to make peace, then I can only seek revenge. You saw how Lu Yingchi humiliated me that day, didn't you?"
"He's not here, so it's just you..." He extended his index finger, pointed at Qiao Wu and then slowly pointed at Lu Xuan, "and his brother, who is here to pay off his debt."
Qiao Wu frowned: "What do you want to do?"
Lai Shen laughed out loud, as if laughing at her naiveté. "What else can I do? I'm trying to sober you up, young master, who's seasick. I heard that people who get seasick will overcome this physiological reaction if they're washed by the sea."
After saying that, Lai Shen gestured to the crew not far away.
In an instant, many bodyguards in black clothes ran up from the first floor.
"I said it the other day," Lai Shen said maliciously, "If anyone dares to touch me, I'll have him pinned to the ground and trampled on."
"Tie them up," he said to the surrounding bodyguards. "First, throw Lu Xuan into the sea for a while."
Qiao Wu said coldly, "He is from the Lu family."
"So what?" Lai Shen shrugged. "Today he is the ancestor of the Lu family, and I will tie him up anyway. As for you...how you looked at me that day, I will let him see how I teach you a lesson today."
He said condescendingly, "You lowly thing! How dare you look at me like that, no matter your status?"
"What are you standing there for?" Not seeing the bodyguards take action, he dropped his previous disguise of kindness and shouted viciously, "Go ahead!"
"He said we can start now." Lu Xuan rested his chin on Qiao Wu's shoulder, "Then I can start now."
Qiao Wu smiled and pushed his head away: "Yeah."
"Really?" Lu Xuan sat up straight instantly. "You're not angry?"
"I'm not angry." Qiao Wu stood up, looked at Lai Shen who was immersed in his own world, and said with a chuckle, "You crippled him today and it was also self-defense."
Lai Shen suddenly realized something was wrong. Qiao Wu, who had been following Lu Xuan, suddenly stood up.
Even Lu Xuan had to ask for confirmation again and again before speaking to her.
She no longer had to depend on Lu Xuan's reaction to do anything she did before, and her expression became indifferent. The sea breeze blew open her suit jacket, and it seemed that a bit of frost fell on her eyebrows.
She stood there straight, looking at him with a look that was as if he were trash, full of ridicule.
How dare a lowly housekeeper look at him like that?!
Lai Shen was provoked, and without caring whether the bodyguards took action or not, he took a few steps forward and tried to grab her and make her kneel in front of him like he knelt in front of his father today.
But before he could touch Qiao Wu's collar, the frail Lu Xuan who was beside her and said he was seasick suddenly moved.
Lu Xuan learned fighting from Qiao Wu since he was a child. Although he was not good at studying, he was still very good at these things.
So he grabbed Lai Shen's hand in an instant and kicked him far away.
Lai Shen had already been beaten by his father today. The pain from the wounds on his body when he hit the ground made his whole body twitch. Coupled with the severe pain from being kicked in the chest, before he could recover and get up, Lu Xuan kicked him again.
Lu Xuan usually looked lazy and unhurried, but when his peach blossom eyes sharpened, they revealed an unprecedented sharpness and ferocity. He punched Lai Shen in the face, dragged him by the head to the lowest level of the railing, held him suspended in mid-air, and said coldly, "You couldn't even beat that loser Lu Yingchi, and you dare to attack me in front of me? If I let you touch her today, I've lived for over twenty years in vain."
I didn’t expect that Lu Xuan could rush out even with so many people around.
Lai Shen roared, "Are they all dead? Hold them down!"
But the bodyguards remained motionless. At this time, Lai Shen finally realized something was wrong and he looked at Qiao Wu in horror.
The latter walked towards him slowly: "Let him go."
Lu Xuan looked back, then put one foot on Lai Shen's leg and stood up to make room for Qiao Wu.
Qiao Wu casually pulled over a chair next to him, propped the legs of the chair directly on Lai Shen's body, and put his feet on the seat, preventing him from getting up.
"you!"
Qiao Wu interrupted him with a smile, "Your four children are fighting for the family inheritance. If the family's inheritance ends up falling to a fool like you, destroying the foundation laid for so many years, I'm afraid your ancestors would be furious. So I thought about it and decided to lend a hand to someone capable."
Lai Shen's heart skipped a beat, and a fishy-sweet taste surged in his throat.
Before he could speak, Qiao Wu smiled and raised his voice to the back, "Miss Lai San, what do you think of this gift?"
There was a regular sound of high heels coming from behind the deck, and Lai Shen turned his head with difficulty to look in the direction of the sound.
Lai Yunjiao, who had disappeared from home at some point in the past, walked over with a smile on her face.
She glanced at Lai Shen, who was lying on the ground, then looked deeply at Qiao Wu, raised her eyebrows and said, "I like it very much."
