Lu Baoqi had been drinking, so naturally she couldn't drive.
The driver was a reserved-looking stranger; he was probably a designated driver.
But this did not diminish Miss Lu's desire to complain in the car.
"Let me tell you, that beverage shop isn't worth fighting over. If I wanted to, I could open an entire street of them without a problem. You just had to mess with me!"
The designated driver rolled his eyes, as if he had heard something extraordinary.
Lu Yi sat in the back seat with his arms crossed and snorted coldly.
"An unmarried woman, drunk, knocks on the door of a man living alone early in the morning. Who's messing with whom?!"
"Does that mean all the women in your circle are like you, utterly shameless?"
"I……"
Lu Baoqi paused, slapped her head, as if she had just remembered her profession.
Artists are most afraid of ruining their reputation and losing their audience appeal.
She swallowed hard, muttering defiantly, "I was talking about provoking you in the past. You secretly took pictures of me and posted them online, and I haven't settled accounts with you yet!"
Lu Yi really didn't know if she had gotten too used to shifting the blame.
You can argue with either way!
"How could I not understand? Didn't you push me down the stairs on the spot, causing me to suffer a concussion and miss an important exam?"
Lu Baoqi was stunned.
In her haste, she did act irrationally, but she didn't expect Lu Yi to be so fragile that a single bump would result in a concussion.
Fortunately, Lu Han, who was present at the time, reacted quickly and said that he had fallen because he hadn't stepped properly.
After my parents found out, they didn't pursue the matter any further.
"That's because your legs aren't strong enough. I just touched you lightly and you fell over. How can you blame me!"
After finishing her sophistry, Lu Baoqi turned her head triumphantly to look out the window.
Anyway, as long as he comes home with me, my dad will agree to invest in a low-budget movie.
And there you have it, the protagonist is yours!
I would never stoop to begging for help like those unknown artists with no connections.
Those who look down on me today, I'll make sure you can't even reach me in the future!
"You always have aromatherapy in your room, but I'm allergic to it. Passing by your room always makes me sneeze, triggers my rhinitis, causes skin rashes, and makes my eyelids swollen..."
"You didn't have any work commitments those days, and you came home for dinner every day. Did you actually see me having an allergic reaction?"
Lu Yi's voice was very soft.
Like the feathers of an ear pick, it scratches a hidden, dark place in the depths of one's heart.
Lu Baoqi retorted instinctively, "That's because of you..."
The aromatherapy in the room was Lu Yi's only allergen, and he didn't go to the main building very often during that period.
On the day the affair was "exposed," it seems that Lu Han called Lu Yi to his room and asked him to help explain some math problems.
That's not right!
Xiao Han... there's no reason for it!
It's unclear how much of the conversation along the way was understood by the designated driver.
After the car entered the residential area and parked in the parking space of the Lu family villa, he secretly glanced at Lu Baoqi and consciously kept his mouth shut.
"I'm not a lecturer, and I don't know any tricks, Miss Lu. You'd better be prepared!"
Looking at the blooming precious flowers and trees in the front yard of the villa, Lu Yi felt as if he had been transported to another world.
He thought he would never come back.
Unexpectedly, just a few days later, I found myself back in this disappointing place.
"Hurry inside, your parents are waiting for you!"
Lu Baoqi smiled slyly.
Her mission was accomplished.
He was finally able to get his first leading role in the entertainment industry, and he could finally hold his head high.
"Mom and Dad, look who I brought home!"
She darted into the living room like a noisy sparrow in the early morning.
Lu Zhengming was on the phone inquiring about the details of that "low-budget" movie when he heard his daughter's voice. He frowned and said, "We'll talk about it in detail when we meet another day."
As a director of a company, he has countless people lining up to curry favor with him.
Now, things have gotten really bad; to see her biological son, she has to resort to this method.
The whole family had tried to persuade him repeatedly, but they couldn't get him to come. It seems that the third daughter, Lu Baoqi, was right; this kid is quite cunning!
Thinking about it carefully, I shouldn't have let Baoyun make the gesture of goodwill a couple of days ago.
It was my own unintentional encouragement that fueled his arrogance, which is why he became so overbearing and ignorant of his own limitations!
Lu Zhengming put down his phone, picked up his teacup, and glanced towards the door.
"Wow! The sun must have risen in the west today. I wonder who was it that patted their chest and vowed never to set foot in the Lu family again?"
Lu Yi paused just as he was about to step into the living room, standing in the entryway and looking at him.
At this moment, Lu Baoqi shook Lu Zhengming's arm, smiling smugly and saying coquettishly, "Dad, I've brought the person back, you have to keep your word!"
Seeing her father nod, Lu Baoqi winked at the door.
"Lu Yi, what are you still standing there for? Come in!"
With just one step left, Lu Baoqi was determined not to let all her efforts go to waste. She desperately tried to signal to Lu Yi with her eyes, her eyelids almost twitching.
Lu Yi remained unmoved and said calmly, "If it's just a question, you can say it standing here."
Why is he, as the biological son of the Lu family, treated coldly in this mansion?
He brought no value or benefit to the Lu family.
Lu Zhengming felt that his authority as the head of the family had been challenged, so he stood up abruptly and pointed at Lu Yi, cursing loudly.
"You stubborn coward, if you've got the guts, stand there and see how long you can stand!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Fengying came downstairs, took three steps in two to the door, pushed Lu Zhengming aside without making a sound, and gently took Lu Yi's hand with her eyes full of tenderness.
"Xiao Yi is back? It's good to see you back. Come in and sit down. I asked Aunt Wu to make some soup. Try it quickly."
