Chapter 158: The day after the son-in-law came to visit, Wen Xu went to the city. In addition to taking out the 200,000 he promised to pay off Shen Ling'er's debt, he also had to meet Lu Qi.
"You have 200,000 yuan in cash on you, aren't you afraid of being noticed by thieves?" Lu Qi asked Wen Xu with a smile.
Wen Xu smiled slightly and said nonchalantly: "In your territory, Miss Lu, do I still need to worry about thieves? By the way, when are we going to meet those people?"
Lu Qi showed the watch on Hao's wrist, checked the time, and then said to Wen Xu, "No hurry! It's almost noon, let's go eat first."
After walking on the mountain road for most of the day, Wen Xu really felt a little hungry. He couldn't help but nodded and asked: "Then where is Miss Lu planning to invite me to eat?"
Lu Qi narrowed her eyes and said to Wen Xu, "My home!"
Lu Qi's home is in the villa area to the west of Yucheng. Although the overall economic situation of Yucheng is not good, there are many wealthy bosses who have become rich from jade business. Most of them live in this villa area.
As the leader of the Jade Gang, Lu Haishen's villa is undoubtedly the most luxurious one here. Even though it is located in the deepest part of the area, the appearance like the White House is still noticeable at a glance.
Naturally, Lu Haishen's home would not be empty. When Lu Qi's car drove into the garage, the servants at home had already opened the door for Lu Qi and respectfully welcomed the eldest daughter home.
"Mom, I'm back." Lu Qi shouted upstairs while changing her slippers. Her well-behaved look was completely different from that of the young lady outside. Wen Xu was stunned for a while.
"Are you back?" Accompanied by a gentle voice, an elegant lady walked down the stairs.
The lady's appearance was very beautiful. Time had not left any trace on her face, but made her even more charming and mature. The charming manner in her movements made Wen Xu finally know what it is like to be naturally charming.
Judging from the similar facial features between the lady and Lu Qi, she should be Lu Qi's mother, so Wen Xu quickly withdrew his gaze and nodded to her.
The noble lady responded to Wen Xu's actions with a smile, and took the initiative to ask: "Are you Wen Xu? Qiqi often mentions you in front of me."
"Hello, aunt!" Wen Xu shouted to Lu Qi's mother.
"Sit wherever you want. You are our family friend when you come here. You don't need to be very reserved." Mrs. Lu smiled and made an invitation gesture to Wen Xu, then turned to Lu Qi and said, "Qiqi, you go Give your dad a call and ask him to come back for dinner as soon as possible."
"Dad never comes home at noon, doesn't he?" Lu Qi asked puzzledly.
Mrs. Lu smiled and said: "But there are guests at home today. You won't let your friends think that your father is cold to him, right?"
Lu Qi blushed, nodded obediently, and turned around to go up the stairs.
Wen Xu was still wondering why Lu Qi was blushing, but Mrs. Lu was already sitting opposite him and began to inquire about his family: "Xiao Xu, you are the only child in your family, right?"
"Yes, I am an only child." Wen Xu nodded.
"Oh, this is the same as our Qiqi's situation. Qiqi is also an only child." Mrs. Lu nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "Xiao Xu, I heard Qiqi say that you are in Jiangzhou Study. Jiangzhou is a good place. The environment there is very good and the people are nice, especially the girls, who are very lively. I think your girlfriend must be very beautiful, right?"
Wen Xu didn't know what Mrs. Lu wanted to say, so he just shook his head and said truthfully: "Auntie, I don't have a girlfriend."
"You don't have a girlfriend?" A look of surprise flashed in Mrs. Lu's eyes. When she was about to say something, Lu Qi had already walked downstairs, so she had to turn to Lu Qi and ask, "Your father said
Will you be back soon?"
"He said he is already on the way and will be back soon." Lu Qi walked over and said to her mother.
At this moment, the door outside opened, and Lu Haishen, dressed in a suit, walked in from the outside. He saw Wen Xu sitting there, nodded to him, and then said to his wife, "It's not too late for me to come back, right?"
Mrs. Lu gave Lu Hai a deep look, stood up from her seat, and said gracefully: "Then let's start dinner!"
The dining table at Lu Qi's house was a rectangle with four or five home-cooked dishes on it. Lu Haishen and his wife sat on one side, while Wen Xu and Lu Qi sat on the opposite side. This way of sitting gave Wen Xu the illusion that his son-in-law was visiting.
During the meal, Lu Qi rarely said anything and quietly picked up his own rice. Lu Haishen also buried his head in eating without saying a word. Only Lu Qi's mother kept picking up food for Wen Xu, and Wen Xu kept saying thank you.
.
"I'm full and I'm going to watch TV. You guys eat slowly." Lu Qi quickly finished the rice in the bowl, put the bowl on the table, and left the table as if running away.
"Leave her alone, let's continue to eat ours." Mrs. Lu said to Wen Xu with a smile.
"Yeah!" Wen Xu responded, and couldn't help but speed up the frequency of cooking, preparing to end the lunch quickly.
Finally, Wen Xu finished the last grain of rice and was about to escape when Lu Haishen called him.
"Wen Xu, come to the study with me, I want to talk to you." Lu Haishen put down the bowl and chopsticks, took the toilet paper handed over by his wife, wiped the corners of his mouth gently, and turned to go upstairs.
"Go and have a good talk with him." Mrs. Lu smiled at Wen Xu and gave him an encouraging smile.
"Then I'll follow uncle up." Wen Xu said to Mrs. Lu, and followed Lu Haishen up.
Lu Haishen's study was on the far right. Wen Xu stepped into the study and gently closed the door at Lu Haishen's signal.
"Sit!" Lu Haishen pointed to the chair opposite him and said to Wen Xu.
Before Wen Xu sat down, he was already thinking about what Lu Haishen was going to talk to him about. The most likely thing was about the five-colored sacred stone.
Sure enough, Lu Haishen asked: "Wen Xu, how do you think about my renting the divine stone from you?"
Wen Xu thought for a while and decided not to say anything. He looked at Lu Haishen and replied: "Gang Leader Lu, I remember you said that what you rent is only the developed sacred stone, not the raw material. So, I am working on the development of the sacred stone.
I can’t reply to you yet.”
Lu Hai took a deep look at Wen Xu, a light flashed in his deep eyes, and nodded: "Yes, I did say this, but I can help you develop it. I happen to have an expert in this field.
"
"This won't bother Gang Leader Lu." Wen Xu said with a smile, "I have already promised others to help me."
Lu Haishen's eyes flashed with a hint of imperceptible loss. He looked at Wen Xu and asked, "Can you tell me who he is?"
"This is still not allowed, because I promised the other party that his name will not be revealed until the sacred stone is completely completed. I ask Gang Leader Lu to forgive me for this." Wen Xu said apologetically.
Lu Hai stared at Wen Xu for a few seconds. Seeing that Wen Xu always maintained a faint smile on his face, he nodded and said: "Okay, I respect your decision. However, I still hope that after the construction is completed,
You can think about my conditions carefully."
"I will seriously consider Gang Leader Lu's conditions." Wen Xu nodded and couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart.
Although Wen Xu acted nonchalantly on the surface, in fact, the palms of his hands were already wet. If Lu Haishen still refused to let go, Wen Xu really had no good solution.
Lu Haishen lit a cigar, and then said to Wen Xu: "Not long ago, I heard Qiqi tell you about the incident between you and that boy Lu Hang. I didn't plan to ask about it, but he told him about it.
My uncle."
Lu Haishen's uncle was naturally Lu Hang's grandfather. Although Wen Xu knew that Lu Haishen's grandfather had a high status in the Lu family, he was not worried at all, because since Lu Haishen agreed to eat at his house, it was enough to explain
his attitude.
Lu Haishen continued: "My uncle wants to see you. He really wants to know someone who can teach his grandson a lesson in Yucheng."
"Do I have to go?" Wen Xu looked at Lu Haishen and asked.
Lu Haishen nodded and said: "I hope you can give me face, and I hope you won't make it difficult for Qiqi. After all, before she got married, Qiqi was considered a member of the Lu family."
Although he doesn't give Lu Haishen face, Wen Xu doesn't want to make it difficult for Lu Qi. As Lu Haishen said just now, Lu Qi is a member of the Lu family no matter what. If she is too partial to herself, it will make things difficult for her in the family.
"How long is it?" Wen Xu asked Lu Haishen, obviously agreeing to meet that person from the Lu family.
Lu Haishen came over and patted Wen Xu on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't be too nervous, Qiqi will go with you."
…
Downstairs, Mrs. Lu had finished her meal and walked to her daughter's side. However, Lu Qi seemed to be deep in thought and did not notice Mrs. Lu.
"Are you worried about him?" Mrs. Lu asked Lu Qi with a smile.
A blush appeared on Lu Qi's cheeks, as if her mother had told her something that was on her mind.
"Mom, what do you think dad will say to him?" Seeing that her mother had already guessed it, Lu Qi simply asked directly.
A sly smile flashed in Mrs. Lu's eyes, and she asked without answering: "Then what do you want your father to say to him?"
"Mom..." Lu Qi deliberately lengthened her voice to express her dissatisfaction with her mother's attitude.
Mrs. Lu smiled and said: "Last night, your seventh grandfather called your father."
Lu Qi's seventh grandfather was Lu Hang's grandfather. When he heard the news, Lu Qi's face suddenly turned cold and he snorted dissatisfied: "Huh! It's obvious that he used our Yu Gang's signature to bully men and dominate women everywhere.
He was punished by someone, but now the villain is the first to complain. Let’s see how I deal with him!”
Mrs. Lu shook her head at her daughter, put away the smile on her face, and said seriously: "I suggest you not to get involved in this matter, and let Xiaoxu handle it alone."
