Sister Wu said with a smile.
Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang looked at each other, not understanding what Sister Wu meant.
Seeing the two looking at each other, Sister Wu chuckled and said, "You two have misunderstood. I didn't mean to invite you because of making money. It's my fault for not making it clear. You two have helped me so much today, so this is my way of thanking you."
It wasn't because they bought a house that he transferred more money.
It's really because of that third sister's matter and her current job situation.
It's perfectly normal for her to invite Mingxiang and Luzheng to dinner for these two reasons.
"Wouldn't that mean you'd have to spend money?" Lu Zheng smiled slightly.
Sister Wu shook her head: "No, it's what I should do. Besides, although I know you two are rich and might look down on this meal, it's just a token of my appreciation, and I hope you two won't refuse."
Mingxiang giggled and said, "Look at what you're saying, what are we refusing? We're just ordinary people who rose from humble beginnings."
Lu Zheng said, "A few months ago, I only had two thousand yuan left. I didn't have a house, a car, or even a job. I was so desperate that I wanted to break a steamed bun in half to eat it."
"Nonsense!" Sister Wu rolled her eyes at Lu Zheng. "Mr. Lu, you don't seem like the type to comfort people. You're all rich, how could you live that kind of life?"
Lu Zheng sighed softly, "You might not believe it, but it's true."
He later told Sister Wu about some of his experiences.
Sister Wu was dumbfounded: "I thought the rumors outside were false, but they're true?"
Lu Zheng nodded slightly: "So, do you still think we'll look down on you?"
"Oh, no, but Mr. Lu, I really envy you two. Look at your relationship, and then look at my past relationships. It's really infuriating to compare yourself to others."
The summer wind was very hot, so Sister Wu planned to take them out for something refreshing.
However, Lu Zheng has been craving barbecue these past couple of days.
Although he hadn't drunk much since separating from Jiang Lier, the weather was unbearably hot today, and a refreshing and delicious cold beer would be incredibly satisfying.
So he suggested to Sister Wu that they go eat some grilled lamb skewers from a street vendor.
Upon hearing this, Sister Wu clapped her hands and said, "That's fine. Whatever you want to eat today, I'll treat you."
Not long after, Sister Wu took them to a place that served roasted mutton.
However, the lamb skewers here start at 5 pm and end at 3 am.
They arrived early, and the restaurant staff were still preparing; they hadn't actually started cooking yet.
So Lu Zheng and his group found a good spot to sit down and chat.
While they were having a pleasant conversation, Xia Ruo was getting angrier and angrier.
Ever since he met Lu Zheng, his life seemed to take a sharp turn for the worse. Was Lu Zheng some kind of plague in his life? Why was he so persistent in clinging to him?
What the hell?
Xu Yue was actually quite unhappy, but this woman was exactly as Ming Xiang and Xia Linyu had described—she was really good at pretending.
Even though she was cursing her man to death in her heart, she still acted gentle and tender.
She gently took Xia Ruo's hand and said, "Husband, don't be angry. Getting angry is bad for your health."
Xia Ruo glared at her: "How can I not be angry? You make it sound so easy. Look what that son of a bitch Lu Zheng has done to me now?"
Xu Yue reached out and patted his chest, saying, "But getting angry like this won't solve the problem."
Upon hearing this, Xia Ruo's eyes darted around on him a few times, and he said, "So, from what you're saying, it seems like you have a solution?"
"Hehe! To be honest, husband, I might actually have a way."
"Hmm? Tell me about it!"
He turned around abruptly and stared intently at Xu Yue.
Now he has only one thought in mind: to kill Lu Zheng at all costs.
Now he doesn't care about any rules or other messy things, as long as he can kill Lu Zheng.
Xu Yue smiled and said, "Honey, we don't have any connections or manpower here, but we do have people. Maybe we can make use of them."
"You mean... you want me to use someone else's hands?"
"Yes, think about it. Lu Zheng is very famous in the city now, but his ex-girlfriend is not having an easy time. The difference between them is so huge. How can his ex-girlfriend stand it?"
"Too!"
He stroked his chin for a moment, then said, "But if we join forces with them..."
"Heh... Husband, now we want revenge. We'll use any means necessary to get revenge. As long as we can bring down Lu Zheng, then my sister's status with Dad will change. Only when her status with Dad changes will we have a chance."
"Yes, yes, I was confused before. I was only thinking about dealing with them through my own means. In fact, we have no foundation in this city."
What happened between the salesperson and the manager today made him extremely embarrassed.
Today's people are all minor figures, and the provincial capital is more than a thousand miles away from here.
Otherwise, he would probably have lost his mind.
If his father finds out about this shameful thing, wouldn't he be completely ruined?
After thinking for a while, he said, "But, it's not appropriate for me to go myself..."
"Wow!" Xu Yue said with a smile, "Honey, you got really angry today, it's not good for your health, you need to rest. I'll handle this, I guarantee there won't be any accidents, I'll take good care of it for you, okay?"
"good!"
He clapped his hands and said, "Then, wife, I'll have to trouble you."
Xu Yue didn't want him to go, not because she felt sorry for him, but because she knew that meeting this group would definitely lead to some shady deals.
She couldn't say what the transaction was; it could be money, or it could be her body.
But she was willing to sacrifice these things for a lot of money.
She knew that, given Xia Ruo's spoiled young master personality, those kinds of things were absolutely intolerable to him.
So she said with a smile, "Honey, alright, you can rest now. I'll get on it right away, and I guarantee it will all go smoothly."
After saying that, she got up and left.
At this moment, Xia Ruo no longer felt that Xu Yue was using him, and even the suspicion he had had about Xu Yue before was gone.
He muttered to himself, "Sister, my woman is so gentle and sensible. How can you say I've misjudged her? As for you, you trust this Lu Zheng. He may know a little kung fu, but I can easily beat him. He's just a nobody."
