Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Sent to the Wrong Person
Lu Yingchi felt that he was about to collapse from Qiao Wu's repeated torture. Didn't he just say that he believed in him? Why did he still want to leave?
He has already been admitted to university, and this is not a great achievement!
When Qiao Wu came back after washing his hands, Lu Yingchi had already gone upstairs with a gloomy face.
"Where's your uncle?"
Lu Ning fiddled with the doll and said firmly, "Maybe he realized how useless he was and went upstairs out of shame."
Qiao Wu: “?”
Did today's incident hit him so hard?
"Don't worry about him. It takes time to accept the real you." Lu Ning looked innocent.
Anyway, what Qiao Wu said was true: none of the people in this family are up to the task.
Lu Ning is very self-aware, including herself.
So what? She is young and stupid. She gets smashed to pieces when she goes out to wash dishes, and the money she earns is not enough to buy Qiao Wu a pair of glasses legs.
So she lay down with peace of mind.
The less ability, the less responsibility.
At least she wouldn't be so cruel as to break into grandpa's safe.
"Qiao Wu." She tugged at the doll's little bow tie and called out awkwardly.
"Um?"
"When will I transfer schools?"
Qiao Wu smiled when he heard this: "Don't you feel pain everywhere when you go to school? Why are you so proactive today?"
Lu Ning's face was burning with anger as she muttered, "I'm just asking casually. Let's see when my good days will end."
In fact, she herself also found it very strange. In the past, she would feel physically disgusted whenever she thought about going to school, studying boringly every day, and facing classmates she didn't like at all.
But she always couldn't help but think of Qiao Wu's words.
The world is so big, you will always meet someone who is willing to be friends with you. What if you really meet him?
Qiao Wu didn't expose her: "I've contacted the school and will take you there to register next Monday."
"oh."
After getting the answer, Lu Ning calmed down, but did not leave immediately.
Qiao Wu knew that in the past, Lu Ning would definitely not like to stay in the public area, let alone sit next to her for so long. Maybe she had something to say.
But forget about Lu Ning, the entire Lu family is like a gourd with a sawed mouth, each one more stubborn than the other, and not at all as sincere as they were when they were children.
Although Qiao Wu specially made a robot to cure their problem at the beginning, now everyone knows what the robot is for and it is not easy to fool them.
After thinking about it, Qiao Wu sat closer to Lu Ning.
The latter was startled and immediately turned his head to look over vigilantly: "What are you doing?"
"I have something to tell you."
"Just say it, come so close."
Lu Ning moved her butt, but the distance was almost zero.
Qiao Wu lowered his eyes and smiled, but stood up and sat on the sofa farthest from her. The living room was already large, and it seemed as if the two of them were looking at each other from a distance.
"Is this okay?" Qiao Wu asked.
“…”
Lu Ning stared and thought to herself, why are you so obedient this time?
Now she felt that Qiao Wu was too far away, and his voice sounded hollow and uncomfortable, but she couldn't take back the words she had said, so she could only nod dryly for a long time.
"I will stay away from you from now on." Qiao Wu continued.
Lu Ning bit her lip and said nothing.
Qiao Wu: "You want this, right?"
Lu Ning, who was provoked even more, suddenly felt that it was a mistake for him to come downstairs to see her at night. She turned cold and said, "Just say what you want to say. I don't have time to play the telephone game with you."
"I'm not playing games with you. I'm serious."
The tone of the person on the other end suddenly became serious and cold, leaving Lu Ning a little confused.
She subconsciously raised her head, but saw that Qiao Wu, who was originally smiling gently, was now sitting on the sofa, and his eyes had lost their warmth. It was as if he was looking at the fat boy who was blackmailing in school, as if he was looking at a stranger, so distant and indifferent.
Lu Ning suddenly felt helpless.
She had seen Qiao Wu being fawning and flattering, and she had also seen her being gentle and generous, but she had never seen her look at her like that.
Even when she was carried to school by bodyguards that day, Qiao Wu was still smiling.
Although she knew that this kind of mentality shouldn't exist, Lu Ning still felt anxious.
"I'll listen to everything you say now," Qiao Wu said, "so as long as you nod, I'll keep my distance from now on, just like now, okay?"
At this moment, Lu Ning suddenly became smart and realized something was wrong: "Are you scaring me?"
"To scare?" Qiao Wu asked innocently, "Why scare? I'm not a lie detector robot in a restaurant. I don't know your true thoughts. Of course, I have to consider what you say. What's wrong with that?"
Lu Ning had nothing to say.
Qiao Wu lowered his gaze to the doll that was nearly torn to pieces, and sighed, "If I wasn't that smart, and couldn't guess that you liked dolls, and couldn't guess that you were being bullied by your classmates at school, what would you do?"
"Putting aside my point, if you went to a new school and met friends you wanted to make, would you also let them guess?"
She finally stood up and slowly walked over to Lu Ning. She leaned over slightly to rescue the doll from her hand, tidied up the clothes and stuffed them back in. "So I didn't scare you. I was just rehearsing for you what would happen next. Be mentally prepared."
So it turns out to be a bluff!
Lu Ning snatched her doll away and rubbed her eyes, which were red from being frightened.
Qiao Wu was indeed distressed, but children needed guidance and education, and she had to be made aware that not everyone would always stand by her side like herself.
Seeing that the child was really aggrieved, she lowered her voice: "Do you have anything else to say to me now? If not, then good night. You should rest."
Lu Ning also realized that Qiao Wu's words about striving for excellence had another meaning, which was also directed at her, but in a different field.
Although she despised this kind of behavior of giving someone a slap and then a sweet date, she couldn't help but step into the trap, and she was crying.
Like Lu Xuan, it's so embarrassing.
The shame spreading from the soles of her feet made her stand up and walk towards the elevator without looking back. All she heard behind her was a simple good night from Qiao Wu.
Lu Ning paused, then walked back angrily and stood in front of Qiao Wu.
Qiao Wu raised his eyebrows.
Lu Ning raised her head and said loudly with full energy, "I will go to class on time every day at the new school. I want you to go shopping with me on weekends! This is an order!"
After saying that, without waiting for Qiao Wu to answer, he left again in a rage. When he got into the elevator, he didn't even look back and pressed the floor button until the elevator door closed.
Qiao Wu was caught off guard by the cuteness and stood there for three seconds before he reacted.
I didn’t expect Lu Ning to have this kind of personality when she grows up, so cute.
After returning to the room, Lu Ning quickly closed the door, thought for a moment and locked it again, then sat down on the ground and patted her chest.
She held up the doll and said proudly, "That's right, Lu Ning! You did a great job! We can't let Qiao Wu feel like he's taking advantage of you!"
Just as she finished speaking, a new message came on her phone and she glanced at the screen.
Qiao Wu: "As you wish."
Lu Ning blinked, then suddenly buried her face in the doll's belly and rubbed it hard.
Hey!
-
The next day was the weekend. Qiao Wu was not so cold-blooded as to make people get up at 6:30 on weekends, so she went to the main house early to arrange the day's affairs and then returned to the villa.
There are many things to do in the Lu residence, but she doesn't have to do any of the chores. If she has nothing to do, she will go to other places in the house to check.
This time in the morning is just right. You can do morning exercise while walking, killing two birds with one stone.
Moreover, Qiao Zhiyi worked hard all his life, but in the end he still couldn't sleep in and always liked to swim. She took this opportunity to walk with him so that her father wouldn't still feel so unfamiliar with her.
When she left, she didn't expect that the two people in the main house got up on time without being called.
Lu Yingchi glanced around calmly, but didn't see the face he had seen recently. His heart tightened, "Where's Qiao Wu?"
You wouldn't really think he's useless and just run away, would you?
Servant: "Housekeeper Xiao Qiao has gone on patrol."
Lu Yingchi then sat down and asked, "What are you checking so early in the morning?"
Without the atmosphere group around, Lu Ning and Lu Yingchi looked at each other and felt that they had no appetite, so Lu Yingchi picked out a few of his favorite dishes and took them out.
Seeing this, Lu Ning hurriedly followed with the plate.
Lu Yingchi turned around and gave her a blank look: "Why are you following me?"
Lu Ning: "I'm worried you'll be scared."
“…”
Lu Yingchi stopped and threatened coldly: "Are you done yet? Believe it or not, I'll put this plate on your head."
"Someone still puts my recording in the Morning Bell music library. How dare you?"
The two of them stared at each other, realizing that neither could convince the other, and neither was willing to give in, so they simply didn't bother to look at each other anymore.
Lu Ning didn't want to follow Lu Yingchi, but she subconsciously felt that this man was going to find Qiao Wu, so she had to keep an eye on him.
She didn't trust Lu Yingchi. What if Qiao Wu really made him so angry that he quit his job? Who would accompany her shopping in the future?
One wants to follow, the other doesn't want to be followed.
Lu Yingchi relied on his long legs to walk very fast. Lu Ning, who was following behind him, didn't even have time to eat breakfast and was panting as hard as she could to catch up with him.
So when Qiao Wu and his father drove over in their scooter, what they saw was a big man and a small man, one in front and one behind, chasing each other on the path in slippers, holding plates, with red faces.
What style is this?
She stopped the car and asked, "What are you doing?"
Lu Ning was the first to run to the car and sit down. She was panting and couldn't utter a word. She just stared at Lu Yingchi with wide eyes.
The latter was very happy to see her being humiliated, and said smugly: "Who asked you to follow me?"
Qiao Wu handed Lu Ning a tissue to wipe her sweat and said helplessly, "She's bored at home alone, so she wants to play with her uncle, right?"
Lu Ning hurriedly explained: "I didn't! Cough cough cough cough!"
She had just finished intense exercise and was unable to speak complete sentences.
To Lu Yingchi, this was equivalent to saying that there was a ghost in his room. He shuddered and was about to speak when he saw Lu Ning, sweating profusely and with a flushed face, looking at him in shock and anxiety.
You don't really want to play with him, do you?
Was it all because of that fight at the parents' meeting? How could a child become dependent so quickly?
Although he loves to play, he is not suitable for her!
He swallowed the words "Who wants to play with her?" and strode into the car. He glanced at Lu Ning and said with a stern face, "You know there's a generation gap between us, right? Rounding it up, it's six years. Two generations apart can't play together. Kids should play with kids. You'd better give up this idea."
The more anxious Lu Ning became, the more speechless she became. She patted her chest frantically, tears welling up in her eyes.
Slander! Absolutely slander!
"Fuck!" Lu Yingchi was so frightened by her crazy state that he hid in the corner, his hands protecting his chest. "Okay, why are you so excited? I don't blame you, just this once."
Qiao Zhiyi was sitting in the front and found the scene very strange.
He has been in the Lu family for so many years and has watched the two children grow up, but he has never seen them so lively.
He smiled and said, "This is the first time I've seen the young master and young lady so happy."
Qiao Wu: “…”
How deeply has my father been poisoned by these melodramatic novels?
Lu Yingchi and Lu Ning, who was finally able to speak, both exploded: "How can I be happy?"
Isn’t this happy?
It's better than being strangers under the same roof as before.
Seeing that the teasing was almost over, Qiao Wu took out a bottle of purified water from the car and handed it to Lu Ning: "So, what made you get in my car so naturally? Do you know where I'm going?"
They were both stunned, turned their heads away, and said vaguely, "Just... just wandering around."
Seeing the guilty expressions of the two men, Qiao Wu could probably guess something.
They couldn't find a sense of security and belonging in such a big house, so they always lived in a daze and muddled through in the past. Now they may have found some of that in her, so they subconsciously want to stick close to her.
Then let them be.
She turned her attention back to her work and chatted with her father: "Dad, let's continue."
She came here with her father because she wanted to know the details of every corner. After all, in the past, "she" spent meaningless time on a few young masters and young ladies, and she didn't know much about the family affairs.
Qiao Zhiyi nodded, his gaze drifting off into the distance. "The golf course is undergoing maintenance this winter, and with the old man in the hospital, the progress has been a bit slow. He wants to separate the private and commercial areas. You'll oversee the marking."
The troublemakers in the family are not easy to deal with. Lu Jiang is worried that they will interfere with his business talks, so he simply renovated the house and divided an area for them to play.
Qiao Wu nodded.
"I gave you a list of people whose access to my home is controlled. You have the right to refuse entry. The nature of your work is different from mine, so you need to weigh the pros and cons of some collaborations in advance. Give the old man a rough answer..."
Lu Jiang is a selfish businessman who doesn't have the time or energy to take care of children before, so the focus of the family is on Qiao Zhiyi. Later, seeing that every child is so dependent on Qiao Wu, and she is so smart and precocious, he naturally wants to cultivate her.
No one can be more reassured than the child you have watched grow up.
He thought it was a waste of her talent to be just an ordinary housekeeper, so he once mentioned to Qiao Zhiyi that he should give her the same education as other children so that she would have enough vision and ability to assist the future leader of the Lu family, and not just be a housekeeper.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't want to. The family has enough money and resources to raise another child. Just think of it as a reward for Qiao Wu to accompany several children, and a bargaining chip to make Qiao Zhiyi more loyal.
No loss whatsoever.
Now that Qiao Wu has taken over as the housekeeper as Lu Jiang wished, he naturally has more to do than Qiao Zhiyi.
He was just a housekeeper, but she was going to be the right-hand man of the man in power.
Qiao Wu and Qiao Zhiyi were chatting in the front, while Lu Yingchi and Lu Ning, who were sitting in the back, were like chickens with their necks strangled, eating breakfast without making any sound.
When was the golf course renovated? What cooperation measures are being considered? What about domestic and international cooperation?
Lu Yingchi grabbed his hair angrily and realized that he knew nothing about these things.
At 6:30 in the morning, they would get angry about having to go to school so early every day, but Qiao Wu had already gotten up and arranged all the things at home, looking very energetic.
No, this was clearly something Qiao Wu condoned in the past!
What? They agreed to be second-generation rich kids together, and now she's secretly doing it behind his back, and in the end she's still blaming him for not living up to his expectations?!
This person has two faces?
Lu Yingchi was indignant.
"By the way." After Qiao Zhiyi finished explaining the general situation, he asked, "Does the Second Young Master have any contact with you?"
When Lu Jinzhi was mentioned, Qiao Wu's scalp went numb.
I thought that in the plot, Lu Jinzhi could endure such news for so long, which was enough. Why did he still contact me?
"No." She shook her head.
"You know the old man's health condition," Qiao Zhiyi said. "Before, there was a conflict between father and son, so the second young master went abroad to develop his career. Now that things are stable there, the domestic group can't be left without someone in charge for a long time, so he should be back soon. You have to help him with some things."
Before Qiao Wu could react, the two people behind him almost jumped up: "Lu Jinzhi is coming back?!"
Qiao Zhiyi said kindly, "Yes, you two must miss him after not seeing him for so long."
Lu Yingchi: “?”
Lu Ning: “…”
Isn't this fucking more terrifying than a ghost?
In this house, Lu Yingchi dared to openly pry open the old man's safe with Lu Xuan, but he never stepped into Lu Jinzhi's room.
After all, the old man would argue with you and get angry, but Lu Jinzhi never would. He would never use his mouth if he could use his hands.
There are two eccentrics in the family. One is Qiao Wu, who is weirdly smart at a young age;
Lu Jinzhi is a man with extremely high IQ and ruthless actions.
Lu Yingchi was only six years old when his eldest brother passed away. He dreamed of ghosts at night and cried all day long while holding his little niece. Lu Xuan also became less talkative and unwilling to communicate with others.
But Lu Jinzhi, who was less than 14 years old at that time, seemed to have grown up overnight. He skipped grades as if it was a piece of cake. He followed the old man calmly and confidently.
Lu Jinzhi had never been beaten by the old man.
Every time he and Lu Xuan were beaten up and down by the old man, even if his nose was splashed with blood, Lu Jinzhi could still move to another place without changing his expression and continue to do what he was doing.
From then on, Lu Yingchi felt that this person was unfathomable, terrifying, and heartless.
You have to know that people who do business have very dirty hearts.
So Lu Jinzhi's heart must have become as dark as ink.
As for Lu Ning, she actually didn't have a deep impression of this uncle. After all, they had only met a few times.
But she just didn't dare to call Lu Jinzhi's name. Every time he looked at her, his eyes were like a scanner, which made her nervous. She heard that her second uncle was a genius who skipped grades, so she didn't dare to dance in front of Lu Jinzhi.
Lu Yingchi looked as if he had eaten a fly: "He wants to live at home too?"
Lu Jinzhi shouldn't have any worries about his GPA.
Wouldn’t it be more convenient for a workaholic like him to live in a large flat above the company?
"I haven't asked yet." Qiao Wu didn't want to be embarrassed alone, so he said sarcastically, "If you are so curious, I will tell you the first time."
"No need for that, Duck." Lu Yingchi tutted his words, "I suddenly feel like passing the final exam isn't that difficult."
Lu Ning was silent for a moment, then asked, "Does my new school have any boarding students?"
If it is true, then she also wants to apply and come to go shopping with Qiao Wu on the weekend.
Qiao Wu dispelled her idea: "No, but it's close to home, so you can sleep ten more minutes."
Lu Ning is still young, and the influence of the past is too great. Qiao Wu is very worried about her, so he needs to keep an eye on her and will not let her live in the school dormitory.
Seeing that everyone had a cloud of worry on their heads, Qiao Wu suddenly felt relaxed.
Anyway, it wasn't her who sent the message, so what does it matter!
After sending the dejected Lu Yingchi and Lu Ning back, she prepared herself mentally and opened WeChat. Then, she calmly deleted all the disgusting messages on it one by one to comfort herself.
Out of sight, out of mind.
In this way, she completely said goodbye to the past and had no psychological burden.
She was not afraid of Lu Jinzhi. After all, when Lu Xuan tried to put her in his schoolbag and take her to the senior class, it was Lu Jinzhi who pulled her out.
At that time, Lu Ning was not born yet and she was the only girl in the family. Worried that she would cry, Lu Jinzhi would snatch all of Lu Xuan's snacks and toys for her.
Qiao Wu could understand the changes that happened to Lu Jin afterwards.
The eldest brother in the family has fallen on hard times, and his father is not as young as he used to be. He is only in his teens and has to learn to grow up so that he won't worry his younger brother and toddler niece and protect them from the wind and rain.
Compared to other people who became bad under "her" intentional guidance, Lu Jinzhi was the only exception.
He stands too high alone, and his learning ability is abnormally strong. At a young age, he has learned and wandered around all kinds of people, and has seen and learned so many people's hearts. He has hidden a lot of things in his heart imperceptibly. Once that line collapses, he will be doomed.
Many domineering CEOs are like this, crazy, critical, dark and stubborn.
Too traditional.
So at that time, Qiao Wu thought that if she had the chance, she would also like to do something for this family to help them escape the ending in the plot.
When deleting the one about bed-climbing, Qiao Wu hesitated. Lu Jinzhi was different from those naive people. It was not so easy to fool them. Fortunately, there was only one piece of news about bed-climbing. The other "she" had also sent it to other people.
So Qiao Wu buried his head in typing on the computer for a long time and finally typed out a document.
She opened the chat box with Lu Jinzhi and started editing.
-
Lu Jinzhi actually waited for quite a long time.
He couldn't guess why Qiao Wu had changed recently, just as he couldn't guess why she had suddenly changed before.
But Qiao Wu in the past was too stupid to be guessed, but the current one is worth watching.
He wanted to wait for an explanation.
Explain why she dared to come to him for help so blatantly after sending those messages, and then completely ignored him, and diligently hung around Lu Yingchi and the others.
But ever since I called her that day and deliberately guided her to see those messages, she hasn't responded at all.
He was losing his patience.
But now he has waited.
Seeing the red dot appear behind the familiar name again, he clicked on it.
He skipped the next two files and looked at the green text box first.
Qiao Wu: "Sorry, I was busy and urgent before and forgot to reply. I need to explain."
Qiao Wu: "'I don't need a name...' This was sent by mistake. I was drunk at the time, and it wasn't my intention to send it to you by mistake."
Lu Jinzhi read every word carefully, and for the first time, a hint of confusion appeared in his black eyes.
It wasn't because of those two pale sophistry, but because of the two documents that he ignored at the first moment.
Qiao Wu: "This is what I sent you. Attachments: 'A Guide to Clearing Minecraft in the Wealthy Family' and 'How Traditional Tyrants Are Eliminated' - Become a Healthy and Wealthy Family and Enjoy a Life of Eternal Wealth."
Lu Jinzhi, who had read countless fraudulent contracts and played tricks on countless businessmen, felt for the first time that he had a speech recognition disorder.
Otherwise how could he not understand it.
