Chapter 70 Chapter 70 Are there many people chasing you?
On Saturday morning, the invited classmates were picked up by the driver and taken to Lu's house. They kept talking all the way.
They participated in the competition this time not as individuals, but as a group, with a total of six people.
Lu Yingchi didn't come to pick us up, it was their driver who came instead.
A business-class Maybach was parked at the entrance of the cafeteria. There was no need to confirm the license plate number. The car had the exclusive logo of their Lu Group on it, which attracted the attention of all passing students.
It takes more than an hour to get there from the school through the city center, and there are very few traffic jams, so the location was chosen very carefully.
There is a security booth outside the Lu residence, with a huge, exquisite and luxurious iron gate in the middle, and carefully maintained green plants and trees on both sides.
Ye Liang swallowed his saliva: "I know why Lu Yingchi said he couldn't stretch his legs the whole time on the bus that day."
The other students nodded and said, "I can't even find keywords for this kind of mansion when I search online."
The security guard opened the door and said, "The fourth young master said to drive directly to the main entrance of the house and not to the guest parking lot."
The driver nodded: "Okay."
There is also guest parking?!
After entering the gate, the students didn't dare to breathe, but they didn't see the house directly after entering. Instead, they drove a distance forward.
The roads leading to Lu's residence led to all directions. After turning for a while, they saw a building with a retro style. Someone at the door saw the car coming and turned around to push open the door. After a while, Lu Yingchi came out with his hands in his pockets.
He was wearing less today than at school, just a light yellow sweater, and his expression was a little more relaxed than at school.
Following behind him was a little girl with a ponytail, who was very cute.
After the car stopped, Lu Yingchi opened the door himself and got in without the driver having to open it. The nine-seater car could still accommodate a few more people, and the little girl followed closely behind him.
The students were confused.
Fei Jingming asked, "What are you doing up here?"
"Let's go to the library." Lu Yingchi shrugged. "It's freezing outside."
"Why don't you wear more clothes?"
Lu Yingchi gave him a strange look and said, "It's just a few steps away."
There is floor heating installed in every corner of the house. He doesn't like to go out when it's cold, so he usually doesn't wear thick clothes and is too lazy to put on and take off his coat.
"This is for you." The girl who was traveling with him handed him the hand warmer in her hand. After a moment's hesitation, she still reminded him, "You still have to put on some clothes. Be careful not to catch a cold."
Lu Yingchi subconsciously moved his hand closer and refused: "I'm in good health."
"You had a fever last time." said the girl.
"That was an accident." Lu Yingchi frowned, trying to prove his strength. "The water was so dirty, don't look down on me."
Then you just jump when you say so?
The girl didn't say anything else.
Fei Jingming really couldn't stand this man's straight masculinity.
Ever since Lu Yingchi rescued the person from the water last time, the girl had shown her affection to him many times, both overtly and covertly, but he just couldn't understand.
Fei Jingming changed the subject and asked curiously, "Who is this cute kid?"
"Lu Ning, the little brat at home." Lu Yingchi said casually, "She doesn't go to school on weekends. She goes out to play, do homework, and read books."
Hearing people praising her for being cute, Lu Ning's face flushed. In fact, she had never had any friends come to her house to play, and she was quite curious. She had sat up straight because she had been taught a lesson by her second uncle when she went to the Zero Ring Line before.
"Hello, brother and sister, my name is Lu Ning." She took the initiative to say, "This big silly guy is my uncle."
The girl said angrily, "Lu Yingchi, why didn't you tell me earlier that you have a child at home? We could have brought her some gifts if we came over."
Lu Yingchi has a shadow over gifts. Last time, he said that those who brought gifts were dragged out.
He looked outside and said perfunctorily, "Don't do anything fancy."
Qiao Wu agreed to let him stay, but he went out early in the morning and did not allow him to follow him, asking him to stay to entertain friends.
hateful.
Fei Jingming followed his gaze and asked, "What are you looking for? Is there anyone else?"
"Qiao Wu, please." Lu Ning said softly, "He has his own things to do. Can you be more understanding?"
"Little mouth."
Lu Yingchi rolled his eyes at her and asked, "Who is looking for her?"
Last time everyone heard that the beautiful sister was a relative of Lu Yingchi, and now when they saw Lu Ning, they thought that she was also a relative like Lu Ning, maybe a cousin or something.
"You guys live together too?"
Lu Yingchi's attention was no longer distracted when this was mentioned. He turned around and seriously corrected her, "Childhood sweethearts, you know? We slept in the same bed together when we were little, so everything Lu Xuan said on the show was just his own imagination. He never even climbed into Qiao Wu's bed. He only secretly stuffed her into his schoolbag. That kind of despicable thing."
“…”
No, is climbing into bed something to be proud of?
The girl asked in surprise: "Isn't she your relative's sister?"
"no."
"How can you call them family then?"
"We grew up together and lived in the same house, so how can we not be considered family?" Lu Yingchi said as if it was a matter of course.
It seems to make sense.
Fei Jingming: "Adopted."
Rich people love to do this.
"What a mess." Lu Yingchi said, "She is my housekeeper."
“?!!”
Wait a minute, why is it different from what is shown on TV!
Your housekeeper actually takes care of both your personal and official affairs, and even appoints you as the chairman of the foundation?
Although they were curious, since the car had stopped, no one continued the topic because there was something even more surprising.
Because they knew why Lu Yingchi got in the car and said it was only a few steps away.
What kind of nice person would take a car to get to the next place even in their own home?!
After getting off the car, although he wasn't cold, Ye Liang's hands were still shaking a little: "The library you mentioned, isn't this the one?"
"Yeah." Lu Yingchi was not cold-resistant, so he took a few steps forward and pushed the door open, "Come on."
Everyone followed him inside.
Then I found out that this is actually a library, it’s full of books!
You have a library at home?!
Although it is not as big as the one in school, the books inside are densely packed and neatly arranged in partitions, and the decoration is full of the smell of money. The floor is covered with carpets, and it feels warm as soon as you enter, and there is a faint fragrance.
“How many books does this require?”
"I don't know." Lu Yingchi looked around and finally found an excuse for him, "I'll ask."
Ye Liang waved his hand: "No, no, no need, I just asked casually."
"No, you can ask if you want."
Lu Yingchi was very persistent.
Otherwise, why would he call Qiao Wu?
The call was hung up as soon as it was made. Lu Yingchi's face darkened a little, but before he could react, he heard a voice from above his head: "I'm here."
Everyone turned around when they heard the sound.
There was a person standing at the fence on the second floor. Compared to the strong woman she had seen in the B&B and on TV before, Qiao Wu was now dressed very casually, with a simple white sweater and a long skirt, which diluted her maturity and added a bit of intimacy.
She is more like the unattainable Bai Yueguang who lives in a novel.
If you take any photo of this, it can be directly posted on the school's homepage as an admissions officer's photo.
She put the book in her hand back on the bookshelf, walked around and down the stairs. The light in the building seemed to add a layer of beauty filter to her face.
"Hello, my name is Qiao Wu." She walked in front of everyone, "I'm the Lu family's housekeeper."
A group of young people could only nod blankly and introduce themselves in a panic.
After Qiao Wu wrote down everyone's name, he asked gently, "What stage are you at?"
"ah?"
Qiao Wu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Don't you need my guidance?"
Everyone turned around and looked at Lu Yingchi silently.
They don't even understand Qiao Wu, so how could they possibly need him to guide them?
Lu Yingchi, when you said the other day that someone insisted on staying at home with you, was that just your own plan?
Who is imagining this?
So, you're using us as bait when you say you're offering all the food and entertainment you want?!
The latter glanced at them sharply.
"Yes!" Ye Liang stood up straight immediately, "That's right!"
Qiao Wu nodded: "Everyone, please take a seat first. Let me check on your progress first."
She came in the morning and rearranged the tables in the library so that every student could hear what each other said and it was easier for everyone to communicate.
For some reason, even though everyone didn't know this person, they couldn't say anything questioning in front of her and just sat down obediently.
They didn't just come here to play, they all brought their own computers just to get their work done first.
Lu Yingchi and Lu Ning sat on either side of Qiao Wu.
It seemed as if all the focus was subconsciously placed on Qiao Wu.
Especially Lu Yingchi, ever since Qiao Wu appeared, his eyes have been on him.
Even if the other person was looking at the computer, he would hold up his head and stare at him unscrupulously, and then be slapped away by Qiao Wu.
The environment here was too quiet, just like in a library, and the sound of the slapping on Lu Yingchi's face was particularly obvious.
While Qiao Wu was looking at the information, everyone was typing frantically on their phones.
Since they had met once before in the restaurant, everyone knew that Lu Yingchi was like a big dog in front of Qiao Wu, but...
Fei Jingming: "Doesn't your face hurt?"
Unable to continue watching, Lu Yingchi glanced at his phone and picked it up: "She didn't use any strength."
I still haven't seen Qiao Wu hit anyone. In comparison, he is already very favored!
No sense at all!
Everyone: “…”
Chen Caiwen, who had never seen this kind of interaction before, was stunned for a moment and asked tentatively, "Do you usually get along like this?"
Lu Yingchi: “No.”
Chen Caiwen breathed a sigh of relief.
She really likes Lu Yingchi.
He is handsome and rich but he doesn't do anything reckless. He looks a little silly and has a bad temper, but he is actually very kind and loyal.
This would easily make you the object of someone's affection in any university.
But she hadn't completely relaxed yet, and saw Lu Yingchi send another message: "She is usually very gentle to me, feeding me and patting my head."
Fei Jingming: "How about raising a dog?"
Lu Yingchi: "Knife.jpg."
Ye Liang: "I haven't seen the world, but the housekeepers in TV dramas are not like this."
Lu Yingchi sighed lightly: "She is not only a housekeeper, you don't understand."
Yes, no one understands him at all.
Everyone knew what to do and didn't continue.
Only Chen Caiwen continued to ask: "Then what else is she?"
Lu Yingchi frowned slightly and typed: "What else could it be? It's a family member."
But after he finished, he felt something was wrong. He subconsciously looked to the side and saw Qiao Wu still looking at the computer.
After thinking for a few seconds, Lu Yingchi withdrew the message.
Lu Yingchi: "She is who she is."
Fei Jingming, who had long seen through Chen Caiwen's thoughts, coughed lightly, patted her arm, and gave her a look.
The latter pursed his lips lightly but said nothing more.
Qiao Wu didn't know what messages were sent privately in the small group. After she finished reading all the information and looked up, everyone sat down quietly.
She also received news about the competition.
Every year, Lu's foundation invests a portion of its educational fund as prize money in the National College Students' Career Planning Competition. When the national competition comes, she will attend as the award presenter, so the plan was delivered to her very early, but she didn't expect Lu Yingchi to participate.
And it will be in this mode.
Several students came up with their own business plans, without any background or financial support, relying solely on themselves.
But unexpectedly, as the team leader, Lu Yingchi made very detailed plans and PPT processes, and it was obvious that he had put a lot of effort into them. No wonder Lu Ning said that he had been very busy recently.
Qiao Wu took a sip of water to moisten his throat. "I'll explain this PPT to you based on Lu Yingchi's and offer some suggestions. You can consider them later."
When Lu Yingchi impulsively decided to keep the person as a guide, he just came up with an excuse from somewhere.
But when Qiao Wu really started to explain the PPT and pointed out all the shortcomings of their immature business plan, he gradually became serious.
At first, everyone thought that they were just tools used by Lu Yingchi to make nests, but they didn't expect that they would be brought into this project with just a few words from the other party.
I even had the illusion that I was discussing the plan with a real boss.
The other party's comprehensive and mature knowledge system, various operational arrangements in corporate processes, and analysis of the future financial market are all clearly explained.
It brought the PPT of a group of novices to a new level.
In the end, everyone had forgotten their reservedness in front of Qiao Wu, and they all brought up the parts of their problems that they were unfamiliar with and did not understand and humbly asked for advice.
If the servant hadn't come to remind us that it was time for lunch, everyone would probably still be immersed in the discussion.
"Take a break." Qiao Wu put away his things and said to Lu Yingchi, "Take your classmates to eat first."
Lu Yingchi sensed something was wrong: "What about you?"
Usually Qiao Wu eats with them, but today they have guests and the restaurant prepared by the kitchen is the guest restaurant, so she won't go over.
"I'm with Lu Ning," she said.
"What do you mean by eating with her? Come with me." Lu Yingchi grabbed her wrist and walked out without saying anything. "How can we eat separately?"
Qiao Wu was not aware of it and was pulled out several steps by him. She slapped the back of his hand with her other hand and said, "Let go. I can walk by myself."
This is much heavier than the previous shot of his face.
"Sister Qiao!" Fei Jingming said hurriedly, "If you don't mind, let's eat together. We haven't thanked you for your help today. Come with me, too."
The others also echoed the invitation, and Qiao Wu had no choice but to smile and nod, then pulled his hand out of Lu Yingchi's hand: "I'll go by myself."
Someone went to open the door in advance, but Qiao Wu didn't feel it inside the house. It was only when he came out that he was startled by the cold wind.
She had taken her coat with her when she left in the morning, but she took it off after coming in. Thinking that it was only a few steps away and she would have to come back soon, she didn't plan to go back to get it.
But before he could walk out completely, a big man blocked his way.
"Where's your coat?" Lu Yingchi frowned at her, "I remember you wore it out."
Qiao Wu: "It's okay, just a few steps."
Lu Yingchi stood there like a wall: "No, what if I catch a cold?"
Others: “???”
That's not what you just said!
We all listened to what you said before and are not wearing it now!
Qiao Wu had no choice but to go back and get it.
"Forget it." Lu Yingchi walked past her and ran back to the library quickly. It only took him a short while from locking onto the target to getting the clothes out.
Relying on his tall stature, he naturally spread out the clothes and put them on Qiao Wu, and even tried to pull her hands to put the sleeves on her.
Qiao Wumei's heart was pounding, and she dodged his movements: "Do I have no hands?"
Only then did Lu Yingchi realize what he was doing.
He was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes and saw that he was almost about to hold Qiao Wu in his arms with both hands.
But the next second, Qiao Wu stepped out of his arms, put on his clothes, and walked forward holding Lu Ning's hand.
Seeing her actions, Lu Yingchi belatedly withdrew his hand. When he turned around, everyone was staring at him with strange eyes.
"What are you looking at?" Lu Yingchi wondered, "Let's go."
Ye Liang: "Brother, I'm not wearing any clothes either."
"Are you okay?" Lu Yingchi kicked him. "Don't you know what to get when you come out? Go quickly."
Ye Liang snorted: "Why don't you tell Sister Qiao the same thing."
"Can you be like her?"
The car that had brought them here had already been driven back to the garage, so everyone walked back instead of taking a ride.
Looking at Chen Caiwen who was silent beside him, Fei Jingming sighed in his heart and felt that he should let her know something.
It’s not that they are not a good match, but people like Qiao Wu are really hard to surpass.
If Lu Yingchi really likes her, then what does Chen Caiwen have to do with her?
So Fei Jingming asked: "Sister Qiao is so outstanding, there must be a lot of people who like her and pursue her."
Lu Yingchi, who had been staring at the figure in front of him, felt a sudden jolt in his head, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was nothing wrong: "Isn't that what should be done?"
“…”
Dude, did you put all your talent points into appearance?
Fei Jingming asked again: "She doesn't have a boyfriend?"
Hearing this, Lu Yingchi almost jumped up: "What kind of ugly thing can be worthy of her?"
He imagined a scene where an unknown man would be standing next to Qiao Wu.
Unimaginable.
fed up.
Fei Jingming: "Then who is worthy?"
"How would I know?" Lu Yingchi was very reluctant to answer this question. He started to make excuses before he even got the answer. "She's still so young, why is she in such a hurry to have a boyfriend? She has her own career, and it's just getting started! What are you looking at?"
Fei Jingming shrugged, looking like he wanted to laugh but didn't know what to say.
After a while, he said carefully: "You seem like a toxic fan."
Lu Yingchi was not a fan of celebrities and did not understand these words. He just kept a tight grip on his nerves and repeatedly confirmed: "Don't mention such things in front of her."
"Don't worry." Fei Jingming glanced at Chen Caiwen beside him, "There's no need."
After lunch, everyone returned to the library and went through the rest of the process again.
Lu Yingchi also fulfilled his promise and prepared to take everyone out to play.
Qiao Wu was also invited.
Originally, Qiao Wu was going to Jingshui Villa to accompany his father and the old man on the weekend. Now that he couldn't go, he just wanted to rest, so he didn't want to disappoint them and went with them.
There is a young man in the Lu family who has his own entertainment room. There is a swimming pool outside, a basketball room on the first floor, and a game room on the second floor. Basically all the activities that can be played indoors are available here. This is also the place where Lu Yingchi and Lu Xuan used to visit most often.
Qiao Wu rarely comes here because she was not the one who built this place, so she just has some impression of it.
Although she doesn't play games much, she likes table tennis very much. She is fascinated by the feeling of successfully scoring a goal.
Lu Yingchi went to get the wine, and the other students were looking at what they liked to play, so she took a stick and started playing with herself.
The noisy classmates nearby heard a bang and turned around to see that Qiao Wu had already scored a goal and stood up. He then changed his position, stretched his hand forward, leaned over the table, rested his slender fingertips on the table, and his eyes were fixed on one spot.
Everyone's breathing became tense.
Then there was another sound, bang.
Everyone couldn't help but cheer: "Good shot!"
Qiao Wu looked up and saw that everyone was looking at her. She smiled and said, "You guys have your fun."
"Sister Qiao." Ye Liang came around and said, "I can play this, too. I want to play with you."
Qiao Wu readily agreed: "Okay."
When Lu Yingchi got the wine and went upstairs, he saw that the people who were going to play games had no intention of playing games at all, but were gathering in groups of three or four around the pool table.
He put down his drink and walked over.
It just so happened that Qiao Wu felt that her hair was a bit of a hindrance, so she tied it up casually. For a moment, the skin behind her ears and neck was exposed to the air, with a faint red color.
Her hands have always been cold, so why are there red spots?
She picked up the golf club, which was like a work of art in her hand. She leaned over and touched the table with it. After a few seconds, she took off her glasses and put them aside.
Lu Yingchi silently watched the other person's movements across the crowd. She was standing right in front of him, and her gaze on the trajectory was so focused that people couldn't help but be attracted to her.
The shot was sent forward with such a beautiful movement that it seemed to be turned into slow motion frame by frame, and the ball rolled into the hole with a sound of collision.
Lu Yingchi felt relieved instantly.
Seeing this, Qiao Wu smiled, with a hint of almost imperceptible pride and recklessness in her eyes. The moment she raised her head, she saw Lu Yingchi standing behind the crowd. The laziness in her eyes had not yet dissipated. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Are you back?"
Lu Yingchi hesitated for a few seconds before he nodded, and walked around the crowd to the front of the stage.
Next it was still Qiao Wu's turn. She only asked one question and then began to focus on her own affairs, considering how to start.
This time she didn't have time to see who was looking at her, and Lu Yingchi could pay attention to her every move without any scruples.
The ball went into the hole again.
"Oh my god."
Ye Liang, who was standing next to him, excitedly grabbed Fei Jingming's hand and said, "You're a little too handsome."
Admire the strong and the beautiful.
Anyone who sees this kind of person can’t help but be moved!
Lu Yingchi heard it and looked back at Ye Liang with dissatisfaction, but when he looked around, he found that all the people in his group, whether male or female, were looking at Qiao Wu.
He couldn't help but think of what Fei Jingming had asked him before.
"There must be a lot of people chasing after her."
What kind of person would be so ignorant as to pursue her?
There was another commotion. This time Qiao Wu made a mistake and it was Ye Liang's turn.
She moved aside and stood behind to avoid blocking his movements. After a while, someone came up to her.
She looked up and saw that it was Lu Yingchi.
He poured a glass of wine and handed it to Qiao Wu. There wasn't much wine in the glass, but it was just for her to drink to relax.
Qiao Wu was in a good mood today, so he took it and took a sip: "Thank you."
"I've never seen you play billiards." Lu Yingchi said.
"There are many things you haven't seen."
Lu Yingchi said unsatisfiedly: "You don't let me be with you every day."
"You have your own things to do, don't you?" Qiao Wu was a little curious when this was mentioned. "Why did you think of starting a business?"
Lu Yingchi subconsciously retorted: "You also have to think that I will be a spendthrift?"
"No." Qiao Wu smiled, "I'm surprised, because you did better than I thought. There's no such thing as a loser."
After all, he had no intention of spending the family's money.
She said, "You probably don't do it for the money."
If it was really about money, it would be faster for him to go home.
Hearing this, Lu Yingchi, who had been feeling a little uncomfortable today, finally felt much more relaxed. He couldn't help but secretly lean towards Qiao Wu.
She really knows me well!
He cleared his throat and said, "I'm not doing this for the money. I just think that many things can only be seen this way."
"Um?"
"Take me to that village," Lu Yingchi said. "I've never lived in that kind of house, walked that kind of road, or eaten that kind of food before, so I couldn't accept it at first."
Qiao Wu listened to him patiently.
"But then I realized I could eat, sleep, and get over that mountain."
Lu Yingchi rarely looked serious, and continued, "So I think that when I and those who have nothing slowly climb up from nothing, the things we see and experience will be different from before. At that time..."
He paused.
Not hearing any sound, Qiao Wu subconsciously turned towards him, and his exposed ears were faintly pink in the warmth of the room.
Lu Yingchi drank the wine in his hand and continued, "I will become different."
What he wants is not money, but experience. At that time, he will be able to tell her that he has seen the world, so he can understand her, protect her, and be qualified to stand by her and catch up with her.
Then I am qualified to fly forward with her as she said.
Qiao Wu was stunned.
So this is what he meant when he said "I promise you" that day.
After finishing speaking, Lu Yingchi couldn't help but tighten his grip on the wine glass and asked in a low voice: "Not bad, right?"
Qiao Wu looked up and saw his somewhat nervous eyes, and couldn't help laughing.
She raised her glass and gently tapped it against the wall of Lu Yingchi's glass: "It's very good."
The crisp sound made Lu Yingchi's mind waver. He tightened his throat and asked, "Do you think I will succeed?"
Qiao Wu's tone rose slightly: "Hmm?"
She finished her drink and shook the glass at him: "I think you have succeeded if you can take this step."
Lu Yingchi felt that he was drunk with just one glass of wine, and couldn't help but move closer to her: "What if I really fail?"
"Then fail." Qiao Wu said with a smile, "I'll cover it for you."
reveal all the details!
Lu Yingchi looked at her blankly.
I can’t explain what I feel in my heart, I only have one thought.
How can this person be so nice?
His head was a little dizzy. Seeing Qiao Wu put down the cup and was about to go forward to play ball, he suddenly tugged at her clothes: "Qiao Wu."
"Um?"
Lu Yingchi asked: "Are there many people chasing after you?"
Qiao Wu: “……?”
Her heart skipped a beat.
"What did you say?"
"I say." Realizing that he had asked a stupid question, Lu Yingchi wanted to bite his tongue. He said, "No matter who it is, don't agree to them. They are not worthy of you."
Qiao Wu raised his eyebrows.
"Thanks for the reminder."
Really?!
Lu Yingchi's expression twisted for a moment, but he forced himself to hold back: "Not much, right?"
Qiao Wu pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Well, not many, just one."
Lu Yingchi began to recall the male creatures around Qiao Wu, and a sense of hostility unconsciously appeared in his eyes.
I couldn't help but feel lucky that there was only one.
So who the hell is this?
