Chapter 9: Chance Encounter
Jiang Ran glanced at Lu Yu and said disdainfully, "Him? I didn't invite him."
Lin Buqiu looked at her in shock, not knowing how to react for a moment.
Everyone was shocked that Jiang Ran was so rude to him.
Feeling that the atmosphere was becoming awkward, Lu Yu clenched his fists and decided to swallow his anger.
"Jiang Ran, stop talking in anger."
"Didn't you dress up specially to see me? I gave you this hairpin."
Jiang Ran's expression froze.
Why didn’t she realize before that Lu Yu was so narcissistic?
"no."
Jiang Ran raised his hand and touched the hairpin, took it off and put it on the table, "I forgot. I'll give it back to you."
Lu Yu's blood surged instantly. While he felt wronged, an unknown bitterness welled up in his heart.
"Are you waiting for another man?"
When Lu Yu asked this question, he realized that he sounded like a nagging woman.
"So what?" Jiang Ran said nonchalantly, "Who I'm waiting for has nothing to do with you."
Lu Yu pursed his lips, took out the post from his arms and threw it on the table.
"Didn't you write this?"
When Taoli saw the post, she panicked instantly and rushed over to confirm.
"How could this happen? Miss, I clearly said to send it to Lord Lu's residence, I don't know how I sent it to the wrong place."
Lu Yu's face suddenly changed when he heard this.
How is this possible! What Jiang Ran said was actually true.
She was not playing hard to get. She really didn't want to invite him. She was waiting for Lu Weiqing.
He was being too sentimental by calling so many people over and making a fool of himself.
There was complete silence for a moment, and even Shen Yingshi, who was most familiar with him, was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.
"Oh, wrong one."
Jiang Ran felt better, it turned out that he had sent it to the wrong person.
Lu Weiqing did not break his promise, he just did not receive the post.
"It's okay. Since you're here, it's a good opportunity to make things clear." Jiang Ran pushed the hairpin on the table towards Lu Yu.
"Lu Yu, I will pack up all the things you gave me and return them to you when I get back."
"Please return the gift I gave you. This will prevent any further misunderstandings."
After Jiang Ran finished speaking, he didn't care about the reactions of the crowd and left with brisk steps.
Having been hungry for so long, she wanted to find another place to eat.
No matter how good my appetite is, it's gone when I see this group of people.
After a while, Shen Yingshi finally found his voice, "This, this, this, Jiang Ran, wouldn't she, wouldn't she, be against Prime Minister Lu..."
"Impossible!" Lu Yu interrupted him with red eyes.
Jiang Ran and Lu Weiqing are people from two completely different worlds.
Even his mother looked down on Jiang Ran, so how could she and Lu Weiqing be together?
Lu Weiqing is the person who has the greatest hope of becoming the next head of the Gusu Lu family. It's impossible. There is absolutely no way that he and Jiang Ran have any relationship.
Lu Yu calmed down.
They were childhood sweethearts and grew up together, so he knew Jiang Ran very well.
Once Jiang Ran sets his mind on someone, he will easily change his mind.
She was destined to be his wife, but he was too impatient. He wanted Jiang Ran to quickly correct those little bad habits, so he deliberately ignored her and hurt her heart.
As long as he changes the way he gets along with Jiang Ran and coaxes her, they will be able to reconcile immediately.
That's right, they will be reconciled soon.
"Lu Yu, you still have to pay attention."
"That's Prime Minister Lu, maybe she just wants to climb up the social ladder—"
There was a tactless person next to him who suddenly said two sentences.
Lu Yu seemed to wake up from a dream and punched the man hard, his expression gloomy and terrifying.
The man was caught off guard and his lower back hit the corner of the table.
Lu Yu got mad and hit hard, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. He was also anxious and angrily said: "I'm giving you face by calling you Brother Yi Yu, but your family is just a branch of the Lu family. You can't even be included in the family tree when you go back to worship your ancestors. What are you so proud of?!"
"You're not even worthy of carrying your uncle's shoes. You deserve to be dumped by Jiang Ran."
Lu Yu felt as if his heart was pierced by a needle, and a bloody smell spread from his heart. He rushed forward and was about to punch again, but was held tightly by Shen Yingshi.
Seeing that Lu Yu wanted to fight back, the man raised his fist to fight back, but was held back by others.
The scene was in chaos.
"Stop fighting."
"Stop fighting, stop fighting."
"Brother Yu was angry and didn't mean it."
"ah--"
Lin Buqiu was trying to persuade them, but someone slapped him in the face, leaving five red finger marks on his face.
Seeing how pitiful she was, Lu Yu stopped and dragged Lin Buqiu out.
-------------------------------------
On the other side, Jiang Ran felt very hungry when he walked out of Jiangyun Tower. He looked around and wanted to buy some food to fill his stomach.
When she saw the steamed cake shop on the corner, her eyes lit up and she trotted over.
"Oh, young lady, unfortunately, today's steamed cakes are sold out. Please come earlier tomorrow."
"Isn't there another drawer here?"
Jiang Ran was sharp-eyed and wanted to reach out to point, but was almost burned by the steam. He quickly withdrew his hand and cooled his earlobe.
The vendor said in embarrassment: "The last tray of steamed cakes has just been ordered by a young man."
"When will he come to pick it up? I'll ask if he can sell it to me."
The peddler looked hesitant. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but the young man didn't look like an easygoing person.
Moreover, he is obviously in a high position. If he is held accountable, he really cannot afford the consequences.
Seeing him hesitating, Jiang Ran still didn't give up. If she didn't get what she wanted to eat, she would feel very upset.
"Here he is, this gentleman. You can discuss this with him yourself, young lady."
Jiang Ran turned around and saw that it was Lu Weiqing.
Is he so down-to-earth? He even eats at street stalls.
Judging from his appearance and demeanor, she thought Lu Weiqing grew up drinking dew.
"Miss Jiang."
"Miss Jiang?"
It was only after Lu Weiqing called out for the second time that Jiang Ran came back to his senses.
"Hey hey." She patted her head. Every time she saw him, he was always distracted. What was wrong with his brain?
"Master Lu, what a coincidence? You're here to buy steamed cakes too."
Jiang Ran had originally decided to have someone resell it, but when he found out it was Lu Weiqing, he suddenly felt speechless.
"If you don't mind, let's eat together?"
Oh my god. This is the first time I realize Lu Weiqing's voice is so gentle.
Jiang Ran happily agreed, picked up a piece without hesitation, and ate it in one gulp.
It smells so good.
After a while, she had already eaten the third one.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. How about I treat Lord Lu to lunch?"
After asking, Jiang Ran remembered that it was already past meal time.
Unexpectedly, Lu Weiqing nodded slightly and agreed, "Very good."
"I've been busy with government affairs today and haven't had my meal yet."
Jiang Ran was about to ask, but took it back.
So that's how it is. Lord Lu is really busy. Fortunately, the post hasn't been delivered, otherwise it would have been rejected.
The Eleventh Secret Guard, who was hiding in the crowd, almost dropped his jaw in shock when he saw his master lying without changing his expression.
I just found out that Miss Jiang had an appointment with Mr. Lu. He sat gloomily on the third floor of Jiangyun Tower for a long time. Wasn't it Mr. Lu who didn't eat or drink?
Jiang Ran had no idea that there was a resentful and hungry worker following behind him.
She excitedly led Lu Weiqing to the private room of the Penglai Pavilion next door, waved her hand, and said generously: "Order whatever you want, the dishes here are all delicious."
Lu Weiqing was not polite and ordered several dishes in a row, all of which were her favorites.
Jiang Ran was a little surprised.
She never expected that she and Lu Weiqing had something in common.
The taste is so consistent, it's perfect to go with a meal, she concluded as she ate.
