Chapter 16: Visit

What was supposed to come finally came. After an ordinary and peaceful Saturday, Lu Li got up early and went to the market to buy some fruits. Although he was only visiting as a classmate, he couldn’t go empty-handed.

Fruit is simply the most perfect gift, not expensive or cheap, neither lacking enthusiasm nor flattering. Lu Li was still selecting fruits in the fruit market when he suddenly received a strange call.

“Hello, hello, is this Mr. Lu Li?” Mr. Lu Li? No one in this life would call him so formally. Lu Li glanced at the number and made sure it was not a sales call.

“Yes.”

Suddenly, the person on the phone said something away from the microphone, as if talking to someone else, and then heard the microphone being picked up by another person, it was Chu Jingyi.

“Hello, Lu Li, are you listening? When are you coming today? I’ll ask Uncle Long to pick you up.” Chu Jingyi’s tone today is elegant, and just by listening to her voice, you can imagine a beautiful and dignified lady.

“So early?”

“Not early, it’s already eight in the morning, the sun is shining. Oh, come quickly anyway.”

Why are you urging so urgently? Doesn’t the monitor know that it’s easy for the little boy to misunderstand? Lu Li shook his head. The sense of distance of the silly goose is not good. He is either too cold or too enthusiastic. Fortunately, he has decades of life experience, otherwise he would really mistakenly think that Chu Jingyi likes him.

He reported the address of the fruit market and soon saw a low-key car parked on the side of the road. It was not the same black car as the last time. A tall and thin man got out of the driver’s seat. His beard was shaved clean and his eyes were particularly sharp. He looked like a very capable and practical man.

“Hello, Mr. Lu Li, please get in the car.” This person should be the “Uncle Long” who called him before. Lu Li greeted him politely, and saw this person smiled and said, “Just call me Uncle Long. Did you buy fruit? It’s thoughtful.”

Lu Li sat in the back seat, but he was thinking about something else.

He was wondering what would happen when he met Chu Xiaodong this time? Would Chu Xiaodong call him to the study and give him a check?

Chu Xiaodong would probably cross his hands and put them in front of his nose coolly: “I’ll give you five million, and you’ll leave my daughter. You should know the difference in your status, right?”

Yes, that’s the kind of dog-blood smell. He thought, if he gave one million, he would not agree, and he would say righteously, “Your daughter is not an object, you should give her the right to choose!” Chu Xiaodong would definitely be moved by his integrity, kindness, and courage when he heard this, and he might even hold his hand immediately, “Comrade Xiao Lu, I misunderstood you!”

If Chu Xiaodong really gave five million, he could only agree reluctantly. There was no way, he gave too much.

Secretary Long, who was driving, didn’t expect that Lu Li was playing a dog-blood TV series at eight o’clock in his mind. He was not a very talkative person, and he just looked at Lu Li silently through the rearview mirror in the car.

He looks like a delicate and clean boy, with fuzz around his mouth, which reminds him of the days when he just started working. At that time, in order to make himself look more mature, he would deliberately grow a beard. Now as he gets older, he is unwilling to grow a beard.

He doesn’t look nervous and seems to be smiling. Is he not clear about the status of the Chu family in Chuanhai City? Secretary Long would never have thought that Lu Li smiled because the little drama in his mind progressed to the classic amnesia link.

He is a pretty good child. Secretary Long nodded slightly and made an evaluation in his heart. Living alone without a guardian, balancing study and life at the same time, for this age group, this child is really doing well and has a good character.

Lu Li felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he took the initiative to say: “Uncle Long, you drive so steadily.” When you don’t know what topic to talk about, just praise others. People have a desire to express themselves. Whenever they talk about their own advantages, most people will talk about it.

Secretary Long smiled without showing his teeth: “After all, I have been a driver for more than ten years, so I must have a way to make a living.”
