Chapter 41 Chapter 41 My housekeeper is very expensive
With the mansion on the top of the mountain, the Zero Ring Road is even more lively at night. Almost everyone recognizes Lu Yingchi's car. Since getting his driver's license, this young master likes to drive all kinds of cars here.
So when Lu Yingchi's car arrived at the entrance at the foot of the mountain, the young people around him noticed it almost instantly and started to make a fuss and surrounded him.
Qin Tianrui, who was sitting in another car, glanced in the rearview mirror after hearing this and asked, "What's going on?"
The person next to him stuck his head out and raised his voice, "Lu Yingchi's car."
"Lu Yingchi?"
Qin Tianrui immediately unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car.
His brother kept saying that the Lu brothers had behaved well, and he was using it to spur him on. But after just a few days of behaving well, he couldn't help himself? That's all.
Seeing that everyone who had originally surrounded him ran to flatter Lu Yingchi, Qin Tianrui felt even more dissatisfied.
The black SUV stopped in front of the crowd. Lu Yingchi did not get out of the car, but just lowered the window and put his elbows outside.
"Mr. Lu." Someone approached with a smile, "Finally, you're free to come out and play today?"
Lu Yingchi felt that the other person looked familiar, but he couldn't pronounce anyone's name. He didn't bother to care about it. He stretched out his index finger and casually moved it twice, asking people to step back: "Don't block my view."
Realizing he was looking in the rearview mirror, the others tactfully stepped away, but they kept on talking: "Who was that beautiful woman you came with last time? We haven't seen her since."
Hearing this, Lu Yingchi's gaze lingered on him for only two seconds before he coldly emphasized four words: "None of your business."
“…”
After a month away, he returned as the man you cannot mess with.
"Then do you want to run two laps together?" Someone else agreed with his preference.
Although there is no competition, there are basically default rules: whoever takes the shortest time wins.
However, for Lu Yingchi, this kind of rule almost does not exist, because no matter whether he wins or loses, as long as he is happy, he likes to pay for others, just for the sake of having fun.
But Lu Yingchi was in no mood today, he just kept looking behind him.
Why hasn't he arrived yet? Didn't they go out together? She's crawling like a turtle, how can she run circles with him?
He took out his cell phone and was about to make a call when another ruffian voice interrupted: "Lu Yingchi."
Lu Yingchi raised his eyes and glanced at the man out of the corner of his eye.
"Don't show up in front of me, or I'll settle all the old and new scores."
Is this the one who caused trouble for Guo Liyan at the Lu family last time?
Although he and Guo Liyan were not very close, Guo Liyan was still his guest after all. Qin Tianrui bullied his guests in his territory, which was obviously targeting him.
"You want to vent your anger on others?" Qin Tianrui was also angry when he mentioned this matter. He was caught off guard by Cheng Yaojin who came out of nowhere and got beaten up when he returned. He sneered, "You've been trained like a dog, haven't you? You still dare to bark like that. Aren't you afraid that your master won't give you a bone to eat?"
The people around them retreated silently. No one could afford to offend these two young masters.
In the past, Lu Yingchi would have rushed out of the car to let Qin Tianrui know who was the dog, but today he didn't.
Qiao Wu might come over at any time, and by then the reward will be gone if he sees him.
The last time they came to the Zero Ring Line, Qiao Wu went up the mountain behind him, so he didn't see her when she appeared. But judging from the reactions of these people, she attracted a lot of people's attention that day, and she is still being remembered by people now.
Moreover, the other side of his face was swollen. If Qin Tianrui saw it, he would probably be furious.
Lu Yingchi sneered: "It seems that your brother's belt didn't tie you up properly. You're going to bite anyone you catch."
These words made Qin Tianrui feel pain in his back, and he gritted his teeth.
"Let's have a match?" he said. "Whoever loses gets to kneel down and call me daddy."
Lu Yingchi: "Who cares about you, brother Baonan."
"You fucking..."
A car behind honked its horn, interrupting their conversation.
Everyone looked back and saw a familiar car.
If Lu Yingchi is impressive because of his high profile, then the car behind him is simply so stunning when its owner appears that people can't forget it even after seeing it once.
"Mr. Lu! It's with you!"
The car behind did not stop. It honked its horn and drove towards the crowd. Everyone around made way for it.
Qiao Wu's car stopped to the right of Lu Yingchi. She lowered the window, ignoring everyone's exclamations. She glanced at Qin Tianrui below and smiled, "Mr. Qin, long time no see."
Qin Tianrui's face turned ashen.
God damn, he is a Gebao man, Lu Yingchi is basically a Guanjiabao!
Who needs to bring a butler when going out to a nightclub?
However, Qin Tianrui wanted to see the Lu brothers make a fool of themselves twice in a row, but failed each time because of Qiao Wu's appearance.
Even he is now doubting his life. He is not in conflict with the Lu brothers, but with Qiao Wu.
"What are you talking about?" Qiao Wu asked.
"Nothing, just a dog barking." Lu Yingchi rolled up his left window and asked, "Let's go?"
Qiao Wu nodded casually: "Yeah."
Lu Yingchi, who had no interest in running with the others, was now very interested. He pointed at the timer at the starting point and said, "If I win, I'm going to drink here tonight!"
Fearing that Qiao Wu would not agree, he added, "You said you could drink if you were with us."
Qiao Wu didn't want to refuse him. She could let him drink even if he didn't win. She was there anyway.
So she raised her eyebrows: "Be careful."
There are staff at the starting point who will update the situation on the track in real time to avoid people getting stuck in traffic and delaying others, so you have to wait a few more minutes at the starting point.
While waiting, Qiao Wu glanced in the rearview mirror and saw that Qin Tianrui, who was ignored, had already gotten into the car angrily.
She took out her cell phone and called Qin Lian.
The call was answered quickly: "Qiao Wu?"
"Boss Qin, your brother is at Zero Ring Line," Qiao Wu said directly, "He had some unpleasantness with Lu Yingchi."
"Have you taken action?"
"No." Qiao Wu retracted his gaze and said calmly, "I'm just giving you a heads-up. If anything unexpected happens, I might have to take over."
Hearing the hidden meaning in her words, Qin Lian was not angry. He had originally wanted to ask Qiao Wu to help him.
"Don't worry, I won't show up tonight." Qin Lian said, "If something really happens, just do your best. I'll cover you."
Qiao Wu felt relieved after hearing this.
She didn't want anything to really happen, but it was obvious that Qin Tianrui didn't seem to be a peaceful person.
"Miss Qiao." The staff knocked on the car window. "Young Master Lu said that you should leave first, so you can leave in two minutes. Please pay attention to the countdown board."
Qiao Wu nodded: "It's hard work."
Although Qiao Wu got her driver's license earlier than Lu Yingchi, he actually only saw her driving after Qiao Wu returned to China.
The car she usually drove when going out was a very low-key business car. She had only driven this off-road vehicle when she came to the Zero Ring Road last time, but she was blinded by anger that time, and there was another person in Qiao Wu's car, so she actually drove very steadily in the second half.
Only this time, she came specifically for running laps.
In autumn, she wore a dark green windbreaker, tied her hair up, and took off her glasses. She had shed her usual business-like intellect and became more wild, which complemented her car perfectly.
He wanted to see the moment she rushed out of the starting point, and sure enough, she was even cooler than he had imagined.
Her usually gentle and calm expression almost turned cold at that moment, and her eyes became firm. At this moment, Lu Yingchi's blood began to boil.
So this is what it feels like to run laps with someone you like!
After Qiao Wu's car left, his countdown began to appear on the countdown board.
Lu Yingchi suppressed his surging emotions and gripped the steering wheel tightly.
The cars in this circle left one after another, and many people cheered and rushed towards the elevator to the top of the mountain.
Some people don’t drive, but they like to watch the fun. They are now looking forward to seeing what it looks like when the people in this lap reach the finish line at the top of the mountain.
But just when everyone reached the top of the mountain, they suddenly saw two people, one big and one small, coming out of the VIP elevator next to them.
The man was dressed in a suit and tie, with a cold look and handsome appearance.
The child next to him had a ponytail and was wearing a private school uniform. Her bright eyes were always observing the surroundings.
Who brought their kids here? Minors are not allowed here!
Someone whispered, "That looks like Lu Jinzhi."
Although few people have access to Lu Jinzhi, the media has been keeping an eye on him ever since he joined the Lu Group, watching him go abroad and watching him return home.
What he looks like is no secret in the circle. In fact, more people know him than Lu Yingchi and Lu Xuan.
It’s Lu Jinzhi, then it’s okay.
Rich people always have privileges.
Wait a minute, why is Lu Jinzhi here? !
Did they bring their family here to play? This mansion doesn't look like an autumn outing camp at all.
Jiang Yuan, the boss of Zero Loop Line, had been waiting at the entrance of the mansion for a long time. When he saw Lu Jinzhi coming out of the elevator, he immediately came forward and said, "Mr. Lu, long time no see."
The industries under Jiang Yuan's name are not limited to the Zero Ring Line. It can be said that many high-end catering businesses are his. So although his assets are small, his network of contacts is beyond the reach of many people.
"Yeah." Lu Jinzhi seemed not to notice the eager gazes around him, "Let's find a quiet place."
After a pause, he added, "The view is good."
"Let's go to the terrace. No one will disturb us," Jiang Yuan said. "You can see everything going on outside. What would you like to drink? I'll get you something from my own wine cellar."
Lu Ning raised her head secretly.
At home, Qiao Wu didn't let her drink alcohol, but there was nothing else to drink in a place like this, so fruit wine would be fine.
It’s so cool here!
"Whatever." Lu Jinzhi glanced to the side, "Give her some milk."
Lu Ning: “…”
Jiang Yuan couldn't control his expression: "This is..."
Lu Jinzhi did not answer.
But Lu Ning didn't expect her second uncle to introduce someone else, so she whispered, "Lu Ning."
Also surnamed Lu?
Jiang Yuan didn't react very quickly.
Until Lu Jinzhi added casually: "Niece."
"So it's your little princess. I've never seen her before." Jiang Yuan was surprised. "Look closely and she looks quite like the young master. What kind of milk would you like to drink? Uncle will have someone prepare it for you."
I'll squeeze it out for you right away.
"I drink juice." Lu Ning said stubbornly.
"OK."
Jiang Yuan took his men to the terrace and felt strange.
He has a wide network of contacts and is well-informed, so he knows that the Lu brothers are at odds with each other and are superficially close but actually estranged, and they rarely appear in the same frame.
But today, Lu Jinzhi and Lu Yingchi arrived at the same time, and asked for such a seat. It was obvious that they came to see Lu Yingchi, and they brought such a little kid with them. This is very intriguing.
Could it be that... after Mr. Lu fell ill, the Lu brothers have been fighting openly?
Before he left, he couldn't help but look back. Lu Jinzhi sat down on the sofa. The child next to him looked around and found a place farthest away from him to lie down.
Sure enough, he didn't look very familiar.
After everyone left, Lu Jinzhi glanced at the girl who was lying on the back of the sofa and looking around curiously, and called out, "Lu Ning."
The little girl looked back in confusion.
His second uncle sat in an elegant posture, his dark eyes slightly lowered as he looked down at others.
But the words were still so harsh: "Your handwriting really reflects your personality."
Lu Ning: “?”
Her condescending second uncle: "It's not even as loud as a chicken."
“…”
She looked at the height from the terrace to the downstairs, wondering if it would be illegal for a minor to throw his second uncle down from here. The legal channel didn't mention it.
"No one dares to strangle you." Lu Jinzhi said calmly, "Your surname is Lu, which gives you confidence."
Lu Ning was stunned.
Qiao Wu also told her this.
But now Second Uncle also said so. Does Second Uncle mean... that he will also support her?
She nodded blankly: "Oh."
After two seconds, he said, "Then I want to drink ice juice."
Lu Jinzhi glanced at her and seemed to smile: "You are promising."
Soon Jiang Yuan brought up the wine and juice himself, isolating himself from the crowd. In fact, the noise here was acceptable.
Jiang Yuan poured the wine into the decanter and saw Lu Jinzhi looking at the finish line below. He said, "A lap is quite long. We have a live broadcast if you want to watch it."
There are drones monitoring every scene, which makes it easy to see the road conditions and detect accidents in the first place.
There is a huge projection screen on the terrace, which is specially for VIP guests and can be viewed by just opening it.
The moment the picture appeared, only the road conditions on the mountain could be seen, with cars departing at different times speeding on the road, raising dust.
"The fourth young master is in the second car." Jiang Yuan said, "I'll give you a spot."
Lu Jinzhi: "Which one is Qiao Wu's?"
Jiang Yuan paused, thinking he had misheard.
But the other party didn't seem to want to change his mind.
At this moment, Jiang Yuan suddenly realized something. No wonder Qiao Wu was able to get his phone number last time. It turned out that this person gave it to him.
"The first one." Jiang Yuan immediately adjusted the position of the drone that was used to shoot car number one.
Because it was the first car, the view in front was relatively clear, but the body of the car was covered with yellow sand, and there was a distance between them, so the people inside could not be seen very clearly, but their outlines could still be seen.
In fact, in such a scene, anyone will only be attracted by this scene. The person in the car has become one with the car body, and the car is her.
Qiao Wu was not like this when he was in his teens.
This is 22-year-old Qiao Wu.
Lu Jinzhi's gaze followed the remaining trace in the yellow sand, then looked at the blurry figure inside, and curled his lips slightly.
Lu Jinzhi is a lazy guy who likes to enjoy himself. Comfort comes first and he doesn't like getting dirty, so he has never been very interested in participating in these sports personally, but this does not prevent him from watching.
There is no man who would not be attracted by the scene before him, because of the wildness and freedom of the car rushing out.
This is also something that the previous Qiao Wu did not have.
As the first person to start, Qiao Wu was naturally the first to reach the finish line.
After she got off the car, some people around her couldn't help but open champagne. The aroma of alcohol spread in the air, and her cerebral cortex, which had not yet calmed down, was once again stimulated to another level.
Even though she didn't know the people around her, it didn't prevent her from enjoying the joy of reaching the destination with these people.
She stood in the crowd, a bright smile on her face, and high-fived anyone who reached out to her.
At this time, Lu Jinzhi was no longer looking at the drone, but leaning against the sofa with his eyes fixed on the center of the crowd.
"That's pretty cool," Jiang Yuan said. "Last time when Hu Zhuo and his gang were causing trouble, she was the one who was in control when I went in. Who is she?"
Lu Jinzhi didn't retract his gaze and just said, "Qiao Wu."
Jiang Yuan looked at him strangely and thought to himself, I know her name is Qiao Wu, I just want to ask about your relationship.
But in fact he was not very brave.
After arriving at the finish line, Qiao Wu did not leave quickly. She opened her car door wide and sat in it, looking up at the big screen next to the finish line. From here, she could see the live situation of every car behind her. Each car had its own number, and she found the one that Lu Yingchi was in.
As expected, she was as reckless as him. Calculating the time taken, she was indeed faster than her.
But she didn't care about winning or losing, instead she waved to the waiter standing next to the finish line.
After she lowered her head and said a few words, she suddenly heard the exclamations of the crowd nearby.
Qiao Wu looked up and saw a black car suddenly appeared from behind Lu Yingchi who was driving normally. The car was driving very fast and rushed straight up from behind Lu Yingchi.
Lu Yingchi also noticed it, so he quickly stepped on the brakes. If he turned randomly at this time, something would happen.
He narrowly avoided the other car, and the other car passed him and drove away.
"Fuck, who is this guy so fierce?"
"It's too dangerous! You can't drive so close to the lane!"
"It seems to be Young Master Qin..."
With a bang, everyone's conversation was interrupted. They looked towards the source of the sound and saw that the beautiful woman who had originally gotten into the car slammed the door and got out with a cold face.
She stared at the screen without saying a word until the car that had stopped on the big screen started again. Then she walked to the finish line, lowered her eyes, and gently squeezed her wrist.
Qin Tianrui felt very relieved because he had overtaken Lu Yingchi's car.
He started behind Lu Yingchi, holding his breath and stepping on the accelerator all the time, and actually saw the back of Lu Yingchi's car.
It seems that Lu Yingchi is not driving a four-wheeled vehicle as aggressively as before. Seeing that he was about to reach the end, the road was not as steep as before, and there were speed bumps on the side, so he stepped on the accelerator and drove behind Lu Yingchi.
He rushed out of the finish line but did not get off the car.
With Lu Yingchi's temper, he would definitely fight with him when he came over. He was not stupid enough to start a fight here.
But the next second, someone knocked on his car window. When he turned around, it was Qiao Wu.
Qin Tianrui frowned: "What for?"
Qiao Wu put his hands together and said, "Come down."
There was no expression on her face, she was still very calm. She must have seen what happened just now and came to help Lu Yingchi.
Qin Tianrui didn't think too much about it. He was not at the Lu family today, and his brother was not there. He just overtook the car normally, so what else could Qiao Wu say?
So he opened the car door.
But the car door had just opened a crack when Qiao Wu, who was standing lazily with his hands folded, suddenly grabbed his wrist as he opened the car door.
Qin Tianrui was startled and was pulled off the car by the other party before he could react. His legs didn't even touch the ground and he was not prepared at all, so he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Those who had seen Qiao Wu and Lu Yingchi come together and deal with Hu Zhuo and Hong Cheng all retreated and did not dare to intervene.
Qin Tianrui had no chance to resist at all. After he was dragged to the ground, his mouth was full of yellow soil.
The next second, one of his hands was handcuffed behind his back, a foot was placed on his back, and the man's other hand was holding his clothes, forcing him to lift his upper body.
From his perspective, he could only see Qiao Wu's cold gaze leaning down.
"Qin Tianrui." For the first time, Qiao Wu called him by his full name without a trace of smile. All around them were as silent as cicadas. Her voice was so low yet so clear, "Do you want to die so much?"
"Qiao Wu!" Qin Tianrui was horrified to find that he was completely shackled by her and could not move at all.
Where does she get so much strength!
"You're just a housekeeper. If you dare to touch me, my brother won't let you go!"
But not only did Qiao Wu not let him go, he stepped even harder.
The force that was restraining his hands loosened, and before Qin Tianrui touched the ground, he was slapped in the face, making him see stars.
"Your brother?" Qiao Wu put his fingertips on his forehead. "That's all you can do. You have no one to complain to except your brother, right? No matter how much money your brother spent, he only raised you to be this useless. Just step on the accelerator and end it all. Then you can go tell the King of Hell that your brother is here and ask him to let you go. Is that okay with you?"
When Lu Yingchi arrived at the finish line, he found that something was wrong. He knew whose car it was and wanted to settle the score with Qin Tianrui.
But unexpectedly, Qin Tianrui was already on the ground, pinned to the ground by Qiao Wu's knee.
Lu Yingchi's anger suddenly froze.
Is Qiao Wu venting his anger on him? Did Qiao Wu take action?
Last time, he just slapped Hu Zhuo and the others, but now he actually beat them down?!
He coughed lightly, and when he saw the symmetrical slap marks on both sides of Qin Tianrui's face, he didn't even feel the pain on his face. He walked up and asked sarcastically: "Hey, Master Qin, what happened?"
People around: “…”
Could you please press the corners of your mouth?
Since Qin Tianrui grew up, no one except his brother has dared to touch a hair on his head.
He was so angry that he was shaking all over: "Security, where is the fucking security!"
Qiao Wu glanced around and said, "Let's see who dares to come up."
In front of everyone, she put her knees against Qin Tianrui's back, pressed his hand with one hand, and took out her cell phone with the other to make a call.
Within seconds, the other party picked up the phone.
Qiao Wu turned on the hands-free mode and said to the other end, "Boss Qin, I beat your brother."
Qin Lian on the other side was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it made sense.
He hummed: "Well done, thank you for your hard work."
Qin Tianrui: “!!!”
Qiao Wu hung up the phone and slapped Qin Tianrui again, making the other side of his face symmetrical.
"Did you hear that?" she said coldly, "Even if I bury you here today, your brother will come to cover you."
Lu Jinzhi, who had a panoramic view of the entire scene on the terrace, did not speak for a long time.
"Boss Lu." Jiang Yuan was a little terrified. "Do you want to intervene?"
Lu Jinzhi then smiled and said, "Isn't there someone in charge?"
"?"
Then Jiang Yuan saw Lu Jinzhi take out his phone, find the blacklist, release Qin Lian, and make a call.
Qin Lian's tone was not good: "What's the matter?"
Lu Jinzhi's voice was gentle, even polite.
"The Qin family is so poor that they can't afford to hire anyone. Do you need my housekeeper to help you discipline your useless brother?"
Qin Lian's head ached from the ridicule: "Lu Jinzhi, are you suffering from princess syndrome again?"
"Let's settle the bill." Lu Jinzhi said slowly, "Hitting someone hurts your hands."
He glanced at Qiao Wu, his smile growing, and added softly, "My housekeeper is very expensive."
