Chapter 8 You, the King of Hell
She was obviously very cunning, but he could always see through her.
Now that I've seen through it, I'm too lazy to pretend anymore.
She plopped down in front of him and asked pointedly.
"What you said last time, that you would take Sister Lan and me to the capital, is that true?"
Jiang Yueyao stayed awake all night again last night.
She definitely didn't dare to stay in Sucheng. Not to mention the Pang family for now, Pei Yu, that bastard who wanted her life, might even hire someone to kill her in the future.
Although she still doesn't know the true identity of Mr. Lu, judging by his behavior, he is definitely not an ordinary person.
Although he said he would protect her from death, the capital city is thousands of miles away from Su City. How could he protect her when she is not by his side?
Jiang Yueyao thought it was safest to stay with him.
Moreover, if she came to Beijing openly and put herself under Pei Yu's nose, would she think he would dare to kill her?
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest...
Lu Sui met Jiang Yueyao's eager eyes.
He didn't reply to her immediately, but picked up a piece of crispy meat and tasted it.
It's crispy but not greasy, with just the right amount of fat and lean, just how he likes it.
He enjoyed his meal and his facial expression relaxed a little.
"What I said counts."
"Are you really willing to let Sister Lan and I run the restaurant?"
"Um."
"That's great. Mr. Lu is really generous. I will go back and pack my things and go to the capital with you in a few days." Jiang Yueyao stood up and went out happily.
He walked a few steps and then stopped.
She looked back at Lu Sui, and her white and tender fingers gently hooked the hair beside her ear.
When Lu Sui looked over, she gave him a seductive look.
The voice is so delicate.
"Master Lu, do you really not want a concubine? I'm so pretty, I eat little and spend little..."
Lu Sui raised his eyes and looked at her expressionlessly.
"Jiang Yueyao."
"Ah?" Jiang Yueyao looked at him eagerly.
"go out!"
"oh-----"
…
Early in the morning, Lu Sui sent someone to deliver a set of clothes to Jiang Yueyao.
When Jiang Yueyao opened it, she almost fainted.
She held the thin gauze with her fingers with a look of disgust.
"Your master is crazy, right? I am a serious man."
"Boss Jiang, don't be angry. The master said that the list is hidden in Pang Jinze's bedroom. If we don't use some special means, how can we get it?"
"But don't worry, this light gauze is just an outer garment. It's not see-through and it keeps you warm. I guarantee you'll like it."
Jiang Yueyao was skeptical about what he said.
"Boss Jiang, if you don't believe me, you can try it on. If you don't like it, you don't have to wear it."
Jiang Yueyao carried the clothes into the inner room.
Come out again, looking brand new.
These past few days, Qingshu had seen her wearing simple dresses and the most ordinary styles. He had never seen her wearing such bright colors.
He had studied with the young master for a few days and knew the saying "people are more beautiful than flowers".
At this moment, Boss Jiang in front of him was truly ten times more handsome than flowers.
"Miss, you are truly born beautiful." He praised from the bottom of his heart.
"Qingshu, you are so good at praising. I am very happy." It was the first time that Jiang Yueyao wore such an expensive dress. It was just as Qingshu said. Although it was light and thin, it was warm, and it was not revealing or transparent. It was really comfortable to wear.
She walked forward as she spoke.
"Is your young master up yet?"
"It's up, it's up. Today is a big day. You must have been looking forward to it for a long time."
"It's not his coming of age, why should he be so excited?"
"Girl, you will understand in a few days."
As soon as Jiang Yueyao entered the lobby of the inn, she saw Lu Sui sitting there.
Hearing the noise, he raised his eyes and looked over, his gaze falling on her - but he didn't move.
Jiang Yueyao walked over happily, holding up the hem of her skirt with her white and tender fingertips, turned around in front of him, and then asked in a coquettish tone.
"Mr. Lu, do I look good today?"
The finest brocade gauze was dyed into the most eye-catching crabapple color. As she turned, the hem of her skirt gently spread out, like a crabapple in full bloom on a branch in March.
The crabapple blossoms are beautiful.
People are more beautiful than flowers.
Lu Sui nodded and curled his lips slightly.
"improvise."
Jiang Yueyao, who was eagerly waiting for his praise, said: "...but I think it's pretty."
"Your taste has never been very good."
"...Mr. Lu's mouth is really annoying." Jiang Yueyao turned her back and didn't want to pay attention to him.
But then she felt like she was being pretentious, so she turned around and looked at him.
"I'll be leaving soon. Mr. Lu, do you have any instructions?"
Lu Sui pointed at a little girl standing next to him.
"This is Xiaoxi. She will accompany you to the Pang Mansion today."
Xiaoxi stepped forward and saluted Jiang Yueyao.
"The servant Xiaoxi greets the young lady."
Jiang Yueyao hurried forward and pulled her up.
Then he came close to her and asked quietly, "Do you know martial arts?"
"I know a little bit."
"That's good, that's good. If the truth is revealed, you will just take care of your fight. I will find a place to hide myself."
“…”
At this moment, a voice came from outside.
"Boss Jiang, the young master asked me to come and pick you up."
The servants from Pang Mansion came to pick her up.
Jiang Yueyao suddenly became nervous.
She looked at Lu Sui and asked, "What will you do if I don't get the list?"
Lu Sui played with the cup in his hand.
Without even raising his head.
The voice was indifferent and cruel.
"Jiang Yueyao, this young master doesn't like this assumption."
"I mean, what if..."
"If that happens, I'll take your life in exchange."
“…”
Damn it, you King of Hell.
If you want to kill me, then kill me.
…
Suzhou is particularly lively today.
The Pang family held a grand banquet to celebrate the coming of age of Pang Jinze, the eldest son of the Pang family.
When Jiang Yueyao arrived, the entrance to Pang's house was full of carriages.
She got out of the car and followed the Pang family servant inside, with Xiaoxi following closely beside her.
Jiang Yueyao pretended to be calm, but she was actually very panicked inside.
Others came to the banquet happily, but she came to save her life.
Whenever she thought of Lu Sui's sinister face, she felt regretful.
Why did you think he was a good person in the first place?
He is obviously the same as that bastard Pei Yu, neither of them is a good person.
The banquet was held in the garden. Today, all the dignitaries from the entire Su City came. The girls from various families competed with each other for beauty. Although they knew what kind of person Pang Jinze was, they still wanted to marry him.
Pang Jinze's father is a fourth-rank prefect, and he has the highest official position in the entire Su City. Who doesn't like the power of being high above?
The servant took Jiang Yueyao to the garden and left.
This was Jiang Yueyao's first time to visit Pang Mansion. Although it was only mid-March, flowers were already in full bloom everywhere, and the air was filled with the spirit of spring.
She had just taken two steps with Xiaoxi when a group of girls came towards them.
One of them saw her as if he had seen a ghost.
"Jiang Yueyao, why are you here?"
Jiang Yueyao knew the other person, Liao Xinyu, the daughter of the owner of Jinxiu Villa on the next street.
The other party was arrogant and proud. She was just a businesswoman like her, but she thought she was superior to her.
Sure enough, the other party spoke sarcastically.
"You're just a small innkeeper, are you worthy enough to attend the Pang family's banquet? Who gave you the invitation? Did you steal it?"
Jiang Yueyao sneered: "What do you care!"
She had a mission today and didn't want to bother with her too much.
Just as I was about to leave, I heard another female voice...
