Lu Yuan took his luggage, as well as a large pile of food items, and walked out of the house under the setting sun.
“Auntie, we’ll be leaving.”
“En, alright, alright… You must come again to visit when you’re free.”
“I will. Alright, there’s no need for you guys to send us off any further.”
“Alright.”
Lu Yuan suddenly felt as if he had just seen a ghost after seeing the beaming smile on Wang Jinxue’s face.
Wang Jinxue’s smile was very gentle, her clear gaze having a different hint of gentleness and virtuousness.
A light breeze blew, causing her long white dress to flutter, also bringing some fallen autumn leaves from the ground. At this moment, it gave off the feeling as if they were in a beautiful painting.
Lu Yuan went into a daze for a short moment then shook his head vigorously.
He felt that it was his delusion.
In Lu Yuan’s heart, Wang Jinxue wasn’t someone like this.
At the very least, the slap she lashed out had been so crisp, so…
Violent.
Just as Lu Yuan was about to get in the car, Lu Yuan’s mother grabbed onto him and said a bunch of stuff, such as telling him not to treat the lady poorly, to do his job well, as well as telling him not to let the young lady down. She even mentioned if it had been a blessing from their ancestors, and that they must make offerings during the Qingming Festival next year.
Lu Yuan’s father, on the other hand, just looked at Lu Yuan, having an increasing feeling that he was really a scoundrel, and that this bastard shouldn’t have any connections with an outstanding lady like Wang Jinxue. No matter how he looked at things, it just didn’t feel right…
Even though he wasn’t superstitious, he also started to wonder if it was really blessings from their ancestors…
After a while, Lu Yuan got into the car and waved his parents goodbye.
“No smoking!”
“I’m not smoking.”
“That’s good. Don’t even think about it while you’re in my car…”
“Alright… so stingy…” Lu Yuan threw a glance at Wang Jinxue, who had once again turned cold. He felt a little more comfortable.
This was what he was used to.
Things were still as they had been.
“This isn’t being stingy. It’s just that I don’t like the smell of cigarettes, especially the scent on you. It’s too overbearing!”
“I had a shower earlier!” Lu Yuan smelled himself, feeling that there weren’t any other smells except the smell of soap. He then shook his head.
“It’s impossible to wash off the smell of cigarettes within a short period. Even if you don’t smoke in my car, I’ll still send my car to get the inside washed completely. Otherwise, I’ll retch.” Wang Jinxue rolled her eyes at Lu Yuan and spoke with a hint of despise in her voice.
“Say it again?” Lu Yuan suddenly felt displeased after hearing what Wang Jinxue said.
“What are you thinking of doing?”
“I hadn’t wanted to smoke in the beginning. After all, I’m a good man who is gentle toward ladies. But right now… since you’re going to wash your car anyway, I feel that it won’t hurt to get one.” Lu Yuan dug around in his pocket, wearing a proud expression. He suddenly wanted to disgust Wang Jinxue.
“You…” Wang Jinxue looked coldly at this bastard, having a strong urge to kick him out of the car. However, Wang Jinxue realized that Lu Yuan’s sly face had suddenly fallen.
“Where are my cigarettes? Damn… Where did my cigarettes go?” Lu Yuan dug around and realized that the cigarettes in his cigarette box were changed to be filled with chewing gum.
He was instantly dumbfounded.
Why did the packet of “Red Orchid” that he had just bought suddenly turn into this?
Chewing gum?
“Pffft!”
Wang Jinxue, who had felt a little enraged, saw how Lu Yuan dug out the chewing gums while wearing an expression as if there was nothing worth living for in life. She instantly burst out laughing.
She recalled how Lu Yuan’s mother had secretly changed Lu Yuan’s cigarettes…
She suddenly felt that Lu Yuan’s mother knew her well.
……
After chewing on gum for a few hours, they returned to the company in Hengdian. Lu Yuan heaved a long sigh of relief as he watched the Lamborghini drive off. After looking at the bright moon in the sky, he felt very emotional.
At this moment, he had the feeling as if the wind was blowing, and it was very cold.
It was not a pleasant feeling.
The atmosphere in the company was very foul. Li Qing, Lu Yihong, and Fatty Wei were baring their upper bodies, playing Fighting the Landlord.
Before entering the door, Lu Yuan could already hear shouting sounds coming from inside. However, after he pushed open the door and entered, the few of them immediately fell silent and looked at him.
“A`Yuan, you’re back… Are… you alright?” Fatty Wei gulped down his saliva and looked at Lu Yuan.
“What do you think?” Lu Yuan spat out the chewing gum and glared at Fatty Wei coldly.
“Then… Sis-in-law… No, then… Wang Jinxue has left?”
“She has left.” Lu Yuan put down his luggage and continued to look coldly at this bunch of unreliable guys.
Was there a need to ask why Wang Jinxue would suddenly appear as his home?
“I wasn’t the one who said it! It was Old Li!” After seeing Lu Yuan’s gaze, Fatty Wei subconsciously shrank his head back and pointed toward Li Qing.
“I… I didn’t know about it either… This…” Li Qing shuddered and quickly shook his head.
After seeing Lu Yuan’s expression, he knew that Mars had really collided into Earth this time around.
It was true that he had done something wrong.
Therefore, he felt awkward and guilty.
“Forget it. Open up the windows. The air is so foul!” Lu Yuan threw a glance at the three of them and eventually just shook his head.
“Oh, oh, oh.”
“One more thing. No smoking in the dorms in the future. Where are your cigarettes? Hand them all over to me now. I’m confiscating them!”
“Huh?”
“What do you mean ‘huh’? Look at the state you’ve turned the company into! One of you is a director, one is a renowned actor, and one is the leader of the production crew. Look at yourself right now!” Lu Yuan looked at the three of them and immediately started to reprimand them.
“What state…” Fatty Wei looked around and then back at Lu Yuan, his expression was that of disbelief.
“Remember, you guys are a group of people with good dispositions. You are refined people. You are core personnel in the future of the entertainment circle!” Lu Yuan walked out to each of them, took the cigarettes they handed over to him, and then shook his head, reprimanding them like a concerned old father.
The three of them had no idea if it was because they had smoked too much or if they were lacking in oxygen that they didn’t like how serious Lu Yuan was acting.
Lu Yuan had been dealt a blow and his brain had been fried?
“I’ll go out for a while. While it is still early, clean up the office. I’ll take the time to go register for the business license tomorrow. Our company can’t be just a dummy corporation… It must look slightly more official!”
“F*ck, A`Yuan, our company really doesn’t have a business license?” Fatty Wei’s eyes opened wide.
“Why are you asking so much? After cleaning up the office, go and have an early rest. We’ll still need to wake up early for the filming tomorrow! Sigh, look at how dispirited you guys are right now! I really don’t want to be standing together with you!” Lu Yuan seemed as if he was disappointed in them for failing to meet his expectations. He then shook his head and left the company. The three of them were left there, stunned.
They looked at each other…
Suddenly, the atmosphere turned very quiet.
“What happened?”
“He got agitated?”
“Damn… I suddenly feel a little scared. Has A`Yuan gone out of his mind?”
“Then, clean up?”
“Let’s clean up…”
“You guys clean up first, I’ll go out to take a look.”
“En.”
Fatty Wei walked out of the company, feeling perplexed. However, he saw that the streets were very empty and there was no sight of Lu Yuan at all.
Where did Lu Yuan go?
Just then…
“Hello Old Master… You’re saying that there’s a Poetry Exchange tomorrow?
“Old Master, I’m telling you, I’m really not a cultured person. I’m actually very uncouth. I’m not suited to go to those kinds of refined places.
“I know that your granddaughter is very outstanding, but even so, I’m not worthy of her. I’m just someone with some tricks up my sleeves, and I’ve used them all up. I’m afraid that I’d embarrass you if I were to go.
“I need to film my movie, I’m very busy… Tomorrow night? I… I might not be able to make it tomorrow night.
“Old Master, that’s really not my intention. I’m not looking down on you. Alright, I’ll go. It’ll be fine if I were to go, right?”
Fatty Wei heard the sound of a phone call and walked to the corner.
Then, he saw Lu Yuan, clamping onto a cigarette between his fingers, smoking while on the call.
It had just been a mere two minutes, and the floor was already filled with cigarette butts.
“A`Yuan, damn it… If you want our cigarettes, just say it! Why did you have to make such a big fuss?”
Fatty Wei closed his eyes!
He knew that Lu Yuan was just a hypocrite!
If he wanted to cheat them of their cigarettes, he could just get straight to the point…
“What? Am I someone who’d cheat you guys of your cigarettes just because my smoking addiction is coming up?” After seeing Fatty Wei, Lu Yuan immediately stomped out the cigarette butt, staring at Fatty Wei solemnly.
He looked even more hypocritical than before.
Under the moonlight, Fatty Wei took a deep breath after seeing Lu Yuan’s appearance.
He really had the urge to give him a thrashing!
Thrash him up so badly that even his parents wouldn’t be able to recognize him!
