Xiang Xiaoyuan was in front of Lu Bei. After weighing the watermelon, the shop assistant asked tentatively, “Are the two of you together?”
When Xiang Xiaoyuan and Lu Bei met at the door just now, the shop assistant saw everything and thought that they knew each other, so he asked.
Xiang Xiaoyuan denied without thinking, “No.”
Lu Bei did not even lift his eyelids, as if he did not care about Xiang Xiaoyuan dismissing their relationship.
The driver who followed behind was stunned. What was Madam doing? This was such a good opportunity to pay the Young Master’s bill and take the opportunity to build a good relationship with him. In the future, her position in the Lu family would also be more stable. Why did Madam not know how to cherish it!
Although he sighed with regret, the driver still remembered his duty and took the watermelon from the sales assistant. Xiang Xiaoyuan walked out empty-handed. The driver hesitated for a moment before turning to Lu Bei and asking, “Young Master, do you want to go together or arrange another car?”
Lu Bei waved his hand lightly. “There’s no need.”
The driver bowed slightly. “Then, Young Master, we’ll be leaving first.”
Both Xiang Xiaoyuan and Lu Bei did not take this unexpected meeting to heart. Only the driver was extremely conflicted. He did not know why Xiang Xiaoyuan did not pay the bill for the young master, nor could he guess Xiang Xiaoyuan’s thoughts.
If Xiang Xiaoyuan knew his question, she would definitely tell him, “I’m poor!”
Although she had 300,000 yuan on her card, she was also someone who was about to open a shop. The money had to be split into two parts. What Lu Bei bought were some nutritional products. They were not expensive, but no matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat, right? Moreover, with her relationship with Lu Bei, if she took the initiative to pay the bill, Lu Bei might not appreciate it. It would be very awkward if she was rejected in public.
Therefore, Xiang Xiaoyuan paid her bill as expected and swaggered out of the supermarket. Not long after she came out, Lu Bei came out with a bunch of things.
The driver walked quickly and asked in a low voice, “Madam, it’s still early. Are you going to the villa or somewhere else?”
His words seemed like a reminder to Xiang Xiaoyuan.
Xiang Xiaoyuan turned her head to look at Lu Bei, who was waiting for a car by the roadside. She said to herself, “I remember the last time I went to school, Director Liu said that a person was in a car accident and was in the hospital.”
The hooligans who got into an accident were young. Some of them seemed to be underage. It was said that these young hooligans were the scapegoats of the older hooligans. Once something happened, they would take the blame.
Xiang Xiaoyuan had never seen those hooligans. He did not know if they were good or bad in nature. According to the plot of the novel, Lu Bei should have gone to the hospital to visit the injured hooligans. However, Xiang Xiaoyuan did not know what happened in the hospital.
However, from the looks of it, Lu Bei’s character was similar to what was written in the novel. He looked cold on the outside but was soft on the inside.
Xiang Xiaoyuan shook her head. She did not need to worry about these things. No matter what happened to Lu Bei, he still had a rich and powerful father to protect him. However, she was alone and had to rely on herself for everything. In comparison, she was more pitiful.
…
Overseas, at the company’s branch.
Lu Wanggui, who had just finished his meeting, received another call from his assistant.
The assistant reported respectfully, “CEO Lu, Young Master just went to the supermarket to buy a lot of nutrition products. He’s on his way to the hospital now.”
Lu Wanggui stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his office. Many men over the age of 30 had started to gain weight and had big bellies. However, Lu Wanggui was different. The heavens seemed to favor him especially.
The 39-year-old man’s figure was still tall and slender. Under the suit that fit him, the outline of his muscles could be vaguely seen. His shoulders were wide and his waist was narrow. Of course, the years still left traces on his face. No matter how well the 39-year-old man maintained his figure and face, his character had been tempered by time. It was even more steady but unpredictable, making it difficult for others to grasp.
“Has everything been arranged?” Lu Wanggui’s voice was low.
His assistant replied, “Everything has been arranged. Don’t worry, CEO Lu.”
“Ok.”
This matter was not simple. If it was any parent who had gone through the trials of society, they would be able to see the problem. However, it was different when it was a 16-year-old child.
No matter how mature and steady their temperament was, children who grew up under the protection of their parents would not be able to see the dark side of society. They thought that they knew a lot and could see through it, but in fact, they were extremely childish.
For example, in this incident, the boys thought that they were doing a good deed to protect the girl who was bullied, but they did not remember that they were attending an aristocratic school, and the students who were there had a special background. How could those hooligans have the guts to bully people from an aristocratic school?
Of course, nothing was absolute in the world. Perhaps these hooligans were just being reckless. However, the security of the elite school was top-notch.. As long as the girl who was surrounded shouted, the security guards would appear in front of them in less than three seconds and subdue the hooligans. Was there a need for the students to act as vigilantes?
