Chapter 257: Total Defeat
Venice, Italy.
East District 1, October 10th, time 10:00.
Lu Qian never expected that the legendary Hermes was not held in Milan, but in the water city of Venice, hundreds of kilometers away.
Driving along the banks of the Grand Canal, the canoe-like boats move along with the waves.
Ancient buildings stand on both sides of the river, quietly listening to the shouts and noise of passengers and boatmen.
Every time we crossed a stone bridge, there were fewer small boats, and merchants and tourists carrying large and small bags walked from the boats to the shore and disappeared into the gaps between the buildings.
Lu Qian was watching with great interest when the car suddenly stopped.
"Boss, the car in front can't move, please move to the boat." Qi Huang turned around and instructed.
Cheng Yi waved his hand at him, meaning to go and make the arrangements.
"yes."
Lu Qian obediently followed Cheng Yi out of the car and naturally leaned against him.
After all, it’s not right for two people to act all the time. If they act for too long, it will be easy to be exposed.
"Master, please."
Vanessa walked over slowly, and Lu Qian looked her up and down.
She wore a sexier fur dress today. The rich purple color was like a blooming Phalaenopsis orchid, and every step she took was full of charm.
Cheng Yi nodded slightly, but didn't give her any response. He put his arm around Lu Qian and passed by her.
Looking at the intimate posture of the two, Vanessa was so jealous that she wanted to go crazy.
After Cheng Yi's gentleness that day, although he treated Vanessa very well later, he was not as close to her as he was that day.
This strong sense of anxiety and fear of loss made her feel a little dizzy.
But this is exactly what Cheng Yi wants.
You are made to think that something is within reach, but you just can't get it no matter what. Keeping you hanging like this makes you willingly jump into the fire pit.
"Boss, the auction will officially start tomorrow. Do you want to have a good rest today or make other plans?" Vanessa sat on Cheng Yi's right and said intimately.
Cheng Yi leaned back in his chair and replied casually, "I'll go take care of things in Venice."
"Yes," Vanessa nodded slightly, "Then does the master need me to go with you?"
"No, I'll take Qi Huang with me." Cheng Yi raised his head and gave Vanessa a charming smile. "You should get some rest early. You'll have to work hard tomorrow."
When Vanessa heard this, a blush immediately appeared on her face, and she couldn't hide her shy attitude.
"Yes...thank you for your concern, Master."
Lu Qian cast a look of disdain at him without concealing his feelings.
Vanessa naturally saw it, but instead of being displeased, she smiled at Lu Qian.
During the days when Lu Qian and Cheng Yi were in a "cold war", it could be seen that Vanessa seemed to have gained a lot of confidence in herself.
A group of people took a boat to a water villa.
The villa is surrounded by rivers on three sides and is almost on the edge of the main town of Venice. I heard that it is very close to Hermes, so I chose to live here.
Cheng Yi said to Vanessa, "Take Lu Qian to rest."
Vanessa responded calmly, "Yes."
Cheng Yi let go of Lu Qian and pushed her waist with his big hand. "Go ahead, wait for me to come back in the evening."
Lu Qian nodded obediently, hummed softly, turned around and got off the boat.
"Xiao Qian, hurry up and pack up, and let Bai Yao take us out to play!" Qu Le pulled Zhuxiachun, rushed forward from behind, and shouted excitedly to Lu Qian.
Lu Qian looked at Qu Le's excited face and smiled helplessly, "Why do you always want to play wherever you go?"
Qu Le retorted confidently, "They all have things to do, and I don't. Why shouldn't I play?"
"Please come in first. I have already arranged the rooms." Vanessa bowed slightly to everyone and gave instructions in a charming voice.
Then she turned to look at Lu Qian, "Miss Lu, your room is on the second floor, please follow me."
Lu Qian nodded, but Vanessa didn't give her a good look and walked straight into the villa.
But Lu Qian didn't care whether Vanessa was happy with her or not, because she didn't take Vanessa seriously at all.
She followed slowly, all the way to the door of the room.
Lu Qian pushed open the door, and the river breeze blew in from the floor-to-ceiling window, so cool and pleasant that she couldn't help but squint her eyes comfortably.
She had just been enjoying it for a while when she saw Vanessa still standing there out of the corner of her eye.
Lu Qian turned his head and glanced at her, "Ms. Vanessa, why are you still standing here? Aren't you going to take a rest?"
What I mean is that you are affecting my mood.
Vanessa's face lost its gentleness. She looked at Lu Qian with disdain and sneered, "No matter how much Cheng Yi dotes on you, he's still the same person. He still needs you to please him."
Lu Qian could tell what Vanessa was being jealous of. In Vanessa's eyes, the restoration of the relationship between Cheng Yi and her was due to Lu Qian's compromise and coaxing.
But she wasn't the only one; it seemed like everyone thought so.
Lu Qian narrowed his eyes, as if enjoying the river breeze, and replied to Vanessa: "So?"
Vanessa's face twitched instantly. This woman didn't take her seriously at all.
"So I want to warn you to put yourself in your place and stay out of Tavia's affairs."
Vanessa found that she was losing patience with this woman.
"Ms. Vanessa," Lu Qian weakly lifted his eyelids and glanced at Vanessa, "If you want to trouble me, why don't you study Cheng Yi's preferences?"
Lu Qian said as he looked up and down at Vanessa's outfit.
"Don't you know he hates the color purple?"
When Vanessa heard Lu Qian's words, she was shocked, her face twitched slightly, and she subconsciously looked at her clothes.
When Lu Qian saw her appearance, he almost laughed out loud.
What's the point of hating purple? Lu Qian had no idea, and Cheng Yi probably didn't know either.
Vanessa suppressed the resentment in her heart and raised her face coldly, "Lu Qian, stop pretending to be stupid. A woman like you is not worthy of staying with Cheng Yi."
"Oh? Really?"
Lu Qian turned around, smiled, narrowed his big eyes, and his expression was harmless and innocent.
"Why do I feel like Miss Vanessa's words have some hidden meaning, like 'This woman has reached this point in such a short time. If we don't get rid of her, there will be endless trouble.'"
Upon hearing this, Vanessa's face darkened again, and she looked at Lu Qian with a look that seemed to indicate that he was going to die miserably.
In fact, in Vanessa's eyes, she really hated Lu Qian more and more.
She did not choose to kill Lu Qian at first because she felt that such a weak woman could not affect her status at all.
But now she was a little scared. In just three months, Lu Qian's growth in both winning the hearts of the people in Tavia and handling things had far exceeded her imagination.
Even Jiang Luan, who is the most difficult to open his heart, is now completely devoted to Lu Qian.
If we let this woman continue, she will definitely fail miserably.
