When their eyes met, they both instinctively looked away, only to meet again in disbelief.
Lu Qian stared at Zhou Quan's legs in disbelief for several moments before turning to Li Mai, "Li... Madam Zhou, is this your husband?"
Li Mai glanced at his somewhat dim-witted look and nodded, "Yes!"
"Is it the same one that broke its leg before? Didn't you get a new one?" Lu Qian asked again, still incredulous.
As soon as he asked that question, he felt a chill run down his spine.
He subconsciously moved to the other side of Li Mai, secretly peeked at Zhou Quan, looked at his leg again, and asked Li Mai curiously, "Is it healed?"
“Young Master Lu, my husband’s leg is healed. Are you so surprised? Do you perhaps wish his leg would remain incurable?” Li Mai raised an eyebrow and glanced at Lu Qian, asking casually.
Lu Qian quickly shook his head, "How could that be? A man worthy of Miss Li must be upright, handsome and dashing like this. Once his leg is healed, won't your happiness come, Madam Zhou?"
After saying that, Lu Qian quietly took a step back, cursing himself inwardly, "Lu Qian, you idiot, what nonsense are you spouting? Not only did you use the title 'Miss Li,' but you also used such inappropriate language in front of a smart girl like Miss Li?"
Li Mai and Zhou Quan glanced at Lu Qian silently at the same time, then walked around him and went forward.
The two of them agreed that part of the young master of Lu Ji's brainstem might not have fully developed.
Zhou Tao also looked at Lu Qian suspiciously. When she first met this young master of the Lu family, he seemed to be quite smart. But looking at him today, he seemed to be getting dumber as he got older.
Zhou Lei glanced at Lu Qian curiously and followed his second sister's steps.
Zhu Zhu was being led by Li Mai's hand, so she didn't see Lu Qian's expression and couldn't comment on it.
After Li Mai and the others walked forward and continued looking at their things, Lu Qian helplessly covered his forehead, turned around and looked at their departing figures, pursed his lips, and sighed!
"Hey! Come on, let's follow them and see!"
Lu Qian felt that he hadn't performed well in front of Li Mai earlier, and he thought he should try to impress her again. Maybe she would think he was as clever as Madam Yu and, in a moment of joy, agree to cooperate with his Lu Family Jewelry Shop!
Recently, Jin Yu Ge has far surpassed his family's jewelry shop. The ladies and young women of the town all flock to Jin Yu Ge to buy jewelry, saying that their jewelry is beautiful, very appropriate for the occasion, and always makes them stand out when worn.
It is said that four sets of the Cupid jewelry series have been released, and each set sells better than the last, becoming incredibly popular.
Even the concubines in his Lu family secretly went to Jin Yu Ge to buy jewelry, and then secretly wore it behind his parents' backs!
Only his mother, Madam Lu, still insists on wearing her own family's jewelry. When she praises her own family's jewelry to others, she no longer praises its appearance, but only its craftsmanship, the amount of gold, and its purity.
Lu Qian was anxious and was trying to find a solution, but he only had one wheat, which was snatched away by the fisherwoman first.
He originally thought that it would be fine if Li Mai only sold one or two items to his family, but Jin Yu Ge announced that Miss Li was now half the owner of Jin Yu Ge, and Madam Yu was willing to give up half of Jin Yu Ge just to keep Miss Li.
He asked himself honestly, and realized that Lu Ji could not match such boldness and generosity.
Zhou Quan and Li Mai showed Zhou Tao and the others around for a while, but they didn't buy anything. Instead, they went to a restaurant to eat.
Lu Qian took a look and was delighted. Wasn't this his own restaurant?
He hurried inside and told the innkeeper that he would personally serve the lady and her entourage in their private room.
This terrified the shopkeeper. After he ran up to the second floor, the shopkeeper quickly sent someone to deliver a message to Master Lu!
Master, this is outrageous! The young master has taken a fancy to a married woman! When he saw the couple with their child dining at our restaurant, he actually went to serve them personally!
Li Mai and Zhou Quan sat at the table directly opposite the entrance, while Zhou Tao and Zhou Lei led Zhu Zhu and the other two to sit inside.
Hearing the door open, the two assumed it was a waiter bringing tea and taking orders, but they never expected to see Lu Qian dressed as a waiter.
At that moment, one thought popped into Li Mai's mind: "You're like a persistent ghost, buddy!"
When their eyes met again, Lu Qian feigned surprise and said, "Oh, it's you! The restaurant was busy today, so I came to help out. I didn't expect to run into Young Master Zhou and Madam Zhou. What a coincidence!"
Li Mai's lips twitched. Do you think I'll believe your nonsense?
"I never expected that Yingxiang Tower would belong to your Lu family!" Li Mai really didn't know this; it seems she knows too little about Qing Shi Town.
Lu Qian nodded, "This was started by my father, while Lu's Jewelry Shop was passed down from my ancestors. What would you like to eat? I will personally order for you. I have already instructed someone to make tea, which will be delivered shortly."
Li Mai glanced at him. This young master Lu was quite strange. Why didn't he think about the design properly? Why did his mind always wander to such crooked ideas? He probably still hadn't given up on recruiting her to design jewelry for his Lu family, right?
"Young Master Zhou and Madam Zhou, rest assured, Lu Ji does business with integrity. I will not tamper with your food and tea to achieve my own ends."
"I simply wanted to make friends with you two, so I took on this waiter's job. I hope you two will give me a chance!"
While waiting for them to order, Lu Qian sincerely said a few words.
Zhou Quan looked up at him.
"So, what is your purpose in getting to know us?"
What kind of opportunity do you want us to give you?
When Zhou Quan spoke, Li Mai also spoke, and the couple's voices overlapped, but Lu Qian still heard them both clearly.
He quickly waved his hand, "I don't have any particular purpose. I just want to get to know you and make some friends. Mrs. Zhou is quite famous in the jewelry industry these days, and people who want to get to know you probably want to find an opportunity to be your friend."
“Perhaps I once considered having you leave Madam Yu and come to my house to design jewelry. However, since I heard that you have become half a mistress of Jin Yu Ge, I have given up on that idea.”
Li Mai and Zhou Quan exchanged a glance, then looked at Lu Qian without saying a word.
This young master Lu does indeed seem rather dim-witted.
"Then what is your purpose in becoming friends with us?" Li Mai asked calmly.
"Having more friends means having more options, right? What if, in the future, Lu Ji and Mrs. Zhou could collaborate in other industries?"
"I believe that someone as intelligent as Mrs. Zhou must have unique insights in other industries as well." After speaking frankly to Li Mai, Lu Qian's mind gradually became active again.
