Chapter 31: Breaking Up
Yunzha and Wuyue raised their heads, staring at Lu Xiang in a daze. The scattered sunlight fell on her face, casting a golden glow. There was a sense of elegance in the haziness. She clenched her lips lightly, and her expression was calm but confident, like a snow lotus growing proudly on the top of a snowy mountain, tenacious and breathtaking.
The lady is very special, very special——
If other people encountered a car robbery, they would have been scared out of their wits. How could they deal with the criminals so calmly? They were smart enough to see through their intentions and strike first.
If you can’t figure it out, just forget about it. Whatever the lady does is right anyway.
"Okay, we brothers will trust you this time. If you dare to lie to us..." The eldest brother in the lead gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
It doesn't matter who they rob, but they can't touch the girl in front of them anyway, so they might as well trust her this time.
"The Lu family won't run away. If you don't get any benefits, just go and make trouble at the gate of the Lu family." Lu Xiang said nonchalantly. The sneer at the corner of his lips was frightening.
The eldest brother gritted his teeth, looked determined, took the banknote from Lu Xiang, and said to the other two, "Let's go."
Watching the three people leaving, Wu Yue frowned anxiously: "Miss, will they bear a grudge and seek revenge in the future?"
Lu Xiang said: "They dare not. People do not fight with officials. Besides, I did not deceive them. When they get the silver, won't they dare to leave this place immediately?"
The play will go on as usual and Xiao Muheng's money will go on as usual. Where else can they find such a good thing?
Yunzha and Wuyue nodded, not quite understanding what was said.
"But now the driver has run away, how can we get to Jinxiu Cloth Shop?" Yun Zha said.
Lu Xiang looked around and said with a smile, "The silk shop is not far from this alley. It will take a while for Aunt Liu and Lu Mingzhu to arrive anyway, so let's walk over there."
On the other side, Xiao Muheng had been waiting for a hero to save the beauty. Suddenly, he saw three people coming over and was stunned for a moment: "Why are you here at this time?" Didn't they agree to stop the car?
The eldest brother cursed and said, "Damn it, I made a mistake. There is no beautiful young lady you said. It is clearly an old woman in her thirties. She looks good, but unfortunately she is a little old." Xiao Muheng was stunned: "What's going on?"
"But that woman said that the person we are looking for took a carriage to the back alley of Jinxiu Silk Shop. Sir, what do you think? Can you believe her words?"
These words were naturally taught by Lu Xiang——
The woman in her thirties directed them to the back alley of the silk shop. She must be Aunt Liu.
Xiao Muheng thought about it, so he said without a trace of doubt: "Then let's go quickly."
Jinxiu Cloth Shop
As soon as Lu Xiang reported his identity, the shopkeeper invited him to the inner room and served him good tea and snacks.
"Bring out the new materials that have just arrived in your shop." Yun Zha said.
The shopkeeper quickly responded with a smile: "Okay, I'll get it right here, miss, please wait a moment."
Soon, pieces of brightly colored fabrics were placed on the table in front of Lu Xiang.
Lu Xiang walked around the table and looked at it carefully, occasionally touching it to feel the texture, his expression very focused.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open forcefully, and Liu stood at the door with an ugly look on her face.
When she saw Lu Xiang was intact, the rage in her chest could hardly be suppressed.
"Why are you here?" Liu's sharp voice was as harsh as a blade cutting through porcelain.
Lu Xiang put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Liu with a smile, and said, "Madam Liu, didn't you ask me to come to Jinxiu Silk Shop to choose fabrics? I'm not here, where should I be?"
Although she was smiling, the smile did not reach her eyes.
Liu was stunned, her eyes rolled slightly, she coughed lightly, and immediately changed the subject: "How is the selection of fabric going?"
Xiao Muheng, a guy who is more likely to cause trouble than to do anything good, even got the person wrong.
"Almost done. These are picked out by me. Aunt Liu, please take a look and see if they are suitable." Lu Xiang stood up. On her pretty face, there was a calm and gentle smile, gentle and beautiful.
Liu looked at the gorgeous silk and brocade in front of her, and greed suddenly appeared in her eyes. She walked forward involuntarily and touched them. She liked them all very much.
Lu Xiang turned around and said to Lu Mingzhu behind Liu: "Fourth sister, why are you standing there in a daze? Come over and choose together."
Lu Mingzhu came back to her senses after Lu Xiang called out to her. A heart-warming blush appeared on her snow-white cheeks. She walked towards Liu in a daze. Looking at the beautiful fabric in front of her, she was not as happy as before.
Liu glared at Lu Mingzhu angrily, but couldn't say anything because Lu Xiang was present.
Lu Xiang looked at the mother and daughter who were selecting fabrics with a half-smile, and asked casually, "Didn't Aunt and Fourth Sister say they would be here soon? Why did it take so long? Did something happen?"
Liu's hand that was stroking the cloth froze for a moment. She twitched the corner of her mouth and didn't intend to say much. But from her expression, Lu Xiang could also think that Liu and Xiao Muheng would definitely break up because of what happened today.
In her previous life, Xiao Muheng appeared in times of danger, like a god descending from the sky to save her from the hands of the gangsters. That moment made her heart beat fast and she fell in love at first sight. When she learned that Xiao Muheng later asked her father to marry her, she firmly believed that he was sincere to her.
Little did he know that she was just a chess piece in Xiao Muchen's business. If he married the prefect's daughter, his business in Yangning City would be smooth sailing.
The world only saw that Xiao Muheng married the eldest daughter of the Lu family and became related to the Lu family. While the Lu family prospered, Xiao Muheng also benefited a lot.
No one knew that since she got engaged to Xiao Mucheng, she had regarded him as her lifelong lover and helped him with all her heart. For his career advancement, she had even carefully planned to find a concubine with a good family background for him, just so that the family behind her could become Xiao Mucheng's helper, giving him advice and helping him to reach a high position step by step.
In this reborn life, she will never trust a man again.
I just don't know if Lu Mingzhu can resist Xiao Muheng's heroic rescue. But looking at her absent-minded look now, it can be seen that Lu Mingzhu is not as smart as she was in her previous life.
When Liu thought of the gangsters she and her daughter had just encountered, her face became even uglier.
"It's nothing, I just got up late." She said perfunctorily.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Lu Mingzhu said, "Just now, some gangsters stopped our carriage in the back alley. Thanks to Mr. Xiao for showing up in time and saving me and my aunt." When she said this, her eyes were surprisingly bright.
Lu Xiang had a faint smile on his face as he looked at Lu Mingzhu, who was coquettish and shy. If not that he had fallen in love with Xiao Muheng, then what could it be?
Lu Xiang had expected such a result, and it didn't surprise her.
In her previous life, Lu Mingzhu tried every means to snatch Xiao Muheng from her. Besides the fact that he was the top student in high school and had a promising future, the bigger reason was his handsome appearance.
In this life, even if Lu Mingzhu is not attracted by Xiao Muheng's identity, she will still fall in love with him because of his heroic act of saving the beauty today.
