Chapter 141: Lei Xiao Eating His Words
After eating, the three left the private room.
Gu Si was a little uncomfortable with Lu Chengzhou paying the bill. It seemed as though someone had suddenly appeared to steal her sister from him. He was quite annoyed.
He glanced at his sister who was making a call while sitting off to the side. Then he said to Lu Chengzhou politely, “Thank you, I’ll go buy macarons and milk tea for my sister.”
With that said, he turned around with his hands in his pockets and walked away. From behind he looked cool and prideful. He looked like Gu Mang.
Gu Mang left the private room to answer a call. The caller ID stated “Grandpa”.
She stood casually to one side, her eyelids drooping. She tapped the ground impatiently.
“Gu Si is here with me. I’ll bring him to see you tomorrow afternoon.” Her voice was low. “I know, Grandpa. If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up. I’m outside now.”
Seeing her hang up the call, Lu Chengzhou said softly, his voice oozing magnetism, “What’s going on tomorrow?”
Gu Mang looked quite irritable. She pursed her thin lips, looking disagreeable and ruthless. “My cousin is celebrating his birthday. I have to be there tomorrow with Gu Si.”
How annoying.
The two continued to talk as they left World Restaurant.
They bumped into Lu Shangjin and Qin Rui at the entrance.
Lei Xiao was also there. Seeing Lu Chengzhou’s chiseled face, he frowned.
He had thought that after filming Sheng Ting’s MV, Gu Mang would learn to cherish her fortune but now she was mixing with shady people!
Out of habit he felt like lecturing her.
“Young Master Lu,” Qin Rui suddenly called out respectfully.
Hearing that, Lei Xiao paused. Who was Qin Rui calling?
Lu Chengzhou nodded mildly. He looked at Lu Shangjin and said in a low, solemn voice, “Sixth Uncle.”
The look on Lei Xiao’s face changed drastically.
Everyone knew that although Lu Shangjin had broken off his relationship with the capital’s Lu family for some unknown reason, he was still a member of the Lu family so no one dared to mess with him.
The man had called Lu Shangjin “Sixth Uncle.” It was the same man that Qin Rui had so respectfully called “Young Master Lu.”
The man with Gu Mang was from the Lu family?!
Qin Rui greeted Lu Chengzhou, then looked to Gu Mang and smiled politely. “Ms. Gu.”
Although his attitude wasn’t as respectful towards her as he had been toward Lu Chengzhou, he still humbled himself when greeting her.
Qin Rui’s status was well respected across the whole of Ming City. He was well loved by the Qin family and yet he was treating this young girl so respectfully?!
Lei Xiao received consecutive shocks. He felt even more terrified than before. A chill ran throughout his body. His blood froze in his veins.
What kind of relationship did Gu Mang have with the Qin family?
Had he been passed over for promotion because he had offended Gu Mang?
Lu Shangjin nodded to Lu Chengzhou and looked at Gu Mang. “Where is Gu Si?”
Old Song said that Gu Si came back from vacation so why wasn’t he here?
“Ah, I’m here, Uncle Lu.” Gu Si came over holding milk tea, macarons and thousand layered cake. He had also kindly bought a drink for Lu Chengzhou.
Suddenly seeing Lei Xiao in the crowd, he was stunned for a moment and called out to him. “Uncle.”
Hearing Gu Si call him, he stiffened for a few seconds, looked over, and forced a smile. “Gu Si.”
Gu Si hadn’t changed much. His face looked similar to Gu Mang’s. Their aura seemed very alike.
Gu Si walked up to Gu Mang and handed her the milk tea. “One mango-flavored cup and one strawberry-flavored cup. Pick one, Sis.”
Lu Chengzhou took the strawberry-flavored cup and poked the straw through the lid before passing it over to Gu Mang. He took the mango-flavored one for himself.
Seeing Lu Chengzhou help his sister with the straw, Gu Si quietly rolled his eyes at him.
He was stealing his job again!
The high officials surrounding Lu Shangjin were all good at reading people.
Seeing how one of the siblings was acquainted with the Young Master of the Lu family and how the other called Lu Shangjin Uncle, they understood the situation.
