In the unusually quiet elevator, only Jiang Duoduo's frantic breathing could be heard.
As Jiang Duoduo froze, too nervous and frightened to move, Lu Ming, in stark contrast to her, leaned lazily against the elevator wall, seemingly noticing her unease. "Are you nervous?"
Jiang Duoduo: "...No."
"Weren't you quite eloquent when you spoke up for my father yesterday?"
“I’m being reasonable. My mother fell down on her own, so we can’t blame it all on President Lu.”
"Hmm~" Lu Ming exclaimed in surprise, carefully examining Jiang Duoduo.
This woman, looking so timid and afraid of him now, somehow stirred within him an impulse to... make her cry.
He suppressed the strange feeling that suddenly arose in his heart, "You're here to see Qin Jue too?"
"Um."
What do you want with him?
Jiang Duoduo didn't know how to answer him. Fortunately, at that moment, the elevator stopped on the thirtieth floor. The two employees standing at the elevator entrance were stunned when they saw the two people inside before they went in.
This made it inconvenient for Lu Ming to continue talking to Jiang Duoduo, so he took out a mask from his pocket and put it on.
...
The shopping mall in the newly developed area has just been renovated. Qin Jue is just here today to go through the formalities and take a look.
In this shopping mall, 70% of the shops, from food and clothing to jewelry, sell properties owned by the Qin family.
He was waiting for Duoduo's arrival at the top-floor coffee shop of the mall with his assistant, Chen.
Just now, Duoduo called him and said she was coming to see him.
The coffee shop wasn't decorated much, just a simple, elegant renovation. Assistant Chen went to get the key and opened the door so that President Qin could come in and rest.
Qin Jue glanced at the time on his phone; it was only a little before nine o'clock.
Thinking that Duoduo woke up early and came to see him, it must be related to the things he had arranged for Duoduo yesterday.
Last night, Duoduo must have been so excited about being able to work with Shen Chuanyu that she couldn't sleep.
They must have come today to repay his kindness.
I wonder what Duoduo will do to repay him later.
The more he thought about it, the better he felt.
After all, he could satisfy Duoduo's vanity with just a few words, something Ji Yue and Gu Yan couldn't do.
When Jiang Duoduo arrived, Qin Jue's lips curled into a slight smile, but the smile gradually disappeared when he saw Lu Ming behind Duoduo.
Qin Jue felt that the boy behind Duo Duo looked somewhat familiar...
As the two of them drew closer, Lu Ming, with his hands in his pockets, sat down next to Qin Jue and greeted him, "Hi, cousin, long time no see."
Oh. Qin Jue then remembered that this person was his aunt's son; no wonder he looked familiar.
Qin Jue, speaking coldly as an elder, reprimanded him, "Look at your hair, it's such a mess, anyone who didn't know better would think you were a beggar on the street."
Lu Ming is arguably the most popular heartthrob in the entertainment industry right now, and his fashion sense has always been a trendsetter.
Lu Ming's team had him dye his hair a light yellow color last night, and before going out today, he also got a perm.
He was clearly cool and handsome, but Qin Jue described him as a beggar. Lu Ming retorted unhappily, "Cousin's aesthetic sense is still as old-fashioned as ever."
Jiang Duoduo listened to their conversation, completely baffled.
Why does Lu Ming call Qin Jue "cousin"?
Are they cousins?
As Jiang Duoduo was surprised by this relationship, Qin Jue asked her, "Why did you come with him?"
