Chapter 624: Blood Clan Loyal Butler vs. Godly Lady 53
Chen Peisi almost burst out laughing.
"Given to you? Who are you? A small housekeeper with a monthly salary of 10,000 or 20,000. How could Master Charles give you clothes?"
It is simply impossible for a royal princess to please a small housekeeper instead of a bunch of rich daughters.
Chen Peisi glared at him with disdain: "I know you're a loyal dog, eager to protect your master, but there's no need to tell such a flawed lie."
Lu Zhiyao said nothing, took out his cell phone, and flipped to a dusty number in his address book.
“Beep…beep…beep…”
He turned on the speaker, and the sound from the phone was broadcast to all around.
Chen Peisi rolled his eyes:
"You're just pretending. I've already said that Master Charles doesn't answer personal calls during working hours. Who knows who you're talking to right now? If you can't get through to him later, don't make excuses saying that Charles is busy with work..."
As if to confirm what she said, the phone remained busy and no one answered until it was automatically hung up.
Chen Peisi raised the corner of his mouth, very satisfied with his "prediction".
"You weren't calling Master Charles at all, were you?"
Seeing this, the people around believed it, but out of respect for Quan Jiu, no one exposed it.
Lu Zhiyao ignored it and dialed the same number.
“Beep, beep…”
The line is busy again.
The smile on Chen Peisi's face became more and more confident, and Xie Wan's eyes looking at Quan Jiu also became subtle. Just when everyone thought that everything would not have any result, the phone was actually connected.
Everyone was stunned.
A fluent London accent rang out over the phone. The man's tone was clearly anxious, and he couldn't wait to throw out a bunch of words:
"I'm sorry, please forgive me. I'm providing samples for the new season of Milan Fashion Week. I just had some inspiration and was in a hurry to draw, so I didn't answer your call in time..."
His tone didn't sound like an apology between friends, but more like that of a superior and a subordinate.
Chen Peisi was caught off guard by the sudden reversal. After a moment's pause, she looked at Lu Zhiyao with a sarcastic expression:
"The actors you found have pretty good acting skills."
Charles didn't understand Chinese, so he didn't know the situation here. After a long time without hearing Lu Zhiyao's reply, his heart sank and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He didn't care about anything else and spoke hurriedly.
"host……"
"Charles." Lu Zhiyao interrupted him.
Charles immediately pecked at the rice, wanting to penetrate the screen to express his loyalty:
"I'm here! I'm here!"
Lu Zhiyao spoke fluently with a genuine London accent, his voice deep and intoxicating, more magnetic than his Chinese:
"The dress you gave me is called Rose Manor?"
Charles: "Yes! That's right! This is the work I am most satisfied with, and I chose the name myself."
If it wasn't the work he was most satisfied with, he wouldn't dare give it to him.
Lu Zhiyao raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Peisi.
"Impossible!" Chen Peisi said firmly, "Do you think you can just pick up anyone, call them, and find Charles on the other end?!"
"According to what you said, I can just make a phone call and the richest man in the world can be my friend."
Quan Jiu's eyes were slightly sympathetic, as if he was looking at a fool.
Lu Zhiyao continued to make the call: "Turn on the video."
They were using a transnational chat software, and after Charles operated it, a bearded uncle's face appeared on the phone screen.
Charles was a little embarrassed: "I have been creating recently and have no time to go out, so I haven't shaved..."
Xie Wan came forward immediately, and when she heard the voice, she vaguely felt that it was familiar.
Across the screen, Xie Wan and Charles's eyes met.
"Xiao Wan? You're here too?" Charles was surprised for a moment, then began to compliment him politely, "Your makeup looks beautiful tonight."
Xie Wan's face turned pale as he suppressed the complex emotions surging in his heart. This face was indeed Charles's...
"Why is the atmosphere so weird among you? Are you attending a dance?" Charles guessed.
Xie Wan's face was stiff. He exchanged a few words with him, and then Charles turned the topic back to Lu Zhiyao:
"Please pass the call to him."
Lu Zhiyao picked up the phone and asked, "I heard you have quite a few collections in your private exhibition hall?"
When Charles heard this, his expression changed slightly: "Aren't you not interested in the dress?"
"Now I'm interested."
Charles: “…”
He looked pained, trying to keep his little darlings:
"Can you leave me two as a keepsake?"
Lu Zhiyao: "You have the pattern of the garment, so it's not difficult to make another identical garment."
Charles shook his head. "The value of a work of art lies in its uniqueness. If you make another identical piece of clothing, the original intention of the creation will be lost."
Lu Zhiyao: "I'll leave one for you as a reminder."
Charles's face was twitching with pain, but the other party was far away, so he had to reluctantly give up:
"Give me a week. I'll pack the clothes and send someone to deliver them to you."
"Um."
Lu Zhiyao hung up the phone without waiting for him to speak again.
After the call ended, the atmosphere in the banquet hall gradually became weird.
Chen Peisi recalled the scene where Xie Wan and Charles recognized each other, and felt dizzy. The world became unreal.
This Steward Lu actually knew Charles. Not only that, Charles was actually quite afraid of him. He was reluctant to sell any of his treasures, but in the blink of an eye, he gave them to him without taking a cent...
The others' eyes fell on Lu Zhiyao, also with a hint of inquiry.
Especially Xie Wan.
She is smarter than Chen Peisi. Thinking of what she said about "Lu Guanjia", the woman's expression changed slightly:
"Your last name is Lu?"
There is only one wealthy family with the surname Lu in City C.
Tonight's celebration banquet is also the Lu family's masterpiece.
Lu Zhiyao glanced at her lightly without saying anything.
Before knowing his identity, this glance would be seen as rudeness in the eyes of others, but after knowing his identity, this glance became justified arrogance...
Xie Wan pursed her lips, not bothering with his identity, and turned to look at Quan Jiu:
"sorry."
Although she was not the mastermind, she did play a role in fueling the situation. If she had not told Chen Peisi about Charles, the other party would not have used this as a handle to cause trouble for Quan Jiu.
Quan Jiu smiled, crushed a grape, swallowed it, and smiled nonchalantly:
"I will naturally accept the apology of a beautiful woman."
"What are you guys doing together?"
When Lu Zewen came back from a phone call, he saw a group of people gathered around the sofa.
He looked around and finally set his eyes on Lu Zhiyao. The phone screen was still on the call interface. Lu Zewen walked up to him and handed him the phone.
"Mom asked you to answer the phone."
