Chapter 12: Like a Concubine Waiting for her Turn

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Lu Xueru was still a little confused. She asked Lu Wenjian, “Dad, what’s with the losses at Yiyang Company?”

Yiyang Company was a new technology company under the Lu Corporation. It was profitable and took up more than 20% of the Lu Corporation’s annual net income. That was the dowry that Lu Qingqiao had personally promised to give to Lu Xueru, and it was suffering losses now!

Lu Wenjian’s eyes flickered. Eventually, he straightened his neck and said, “It’s not a big deal. Qingqiao is making a mountain out of a molehill!”

Chen Ping also helped by saying, “That’s right, the Lu Corporation is a big company. What’s with this little loss? Lu Qingqiao is using this as an excuse to send us away!”

Lu Wenjian felt guilty, so he didn’t dare to hide it. However, he still wanted to save his face and said in disdain, “It’s better to move out. Who would be willing to provide for her every day? The Lu residence is such a big place. Let her live here by herself. No one will know when she dies!”

Lu Xueru knew her parents’ characters. This loss must be huge for Lu Qingqiao to send them away in a fit of anger. It was good that they would move out since she would sell the place anyway!

Lu Xueru rode in the car with her parents and did not notice that someone had heard their conversation not far away.

“So, that’s the girl from the Lu family. Not bad. She’s more decisive than I thought. Lu Wenjian’s family should have been cleaned up as soon as possible. Ah Yu, you should learn from her.”

An old man with white hair and a dragon-headed walking stick spoke to the handsome young man beside him. His eyes were filled with sharp-wittedness, and he did not hide his admiration for Lu Qingqiao.

“Yes, Grandpa.” The man called Ah Yu nodded indifferently.

“Do you like that girl? She’s pretty and capable. She’s more than enough to match you.” As the old man spoke, he felt his idea was not bad. If that girl became the next mistress of their family, she would surely be able to shock the people below!

“Yes, Grandpa.” It was still the same expression and tone. It was as cold as a robot.

“Lord, the car is here. We should go.” The butler behind him reminded.

The old man walked and looked where Qin Xun had been standing just now, saying, “Look at that guy with the backpack. He looks a little familiar.”

Lu family.

Qin Xun was quietly eating his porridge in the dining room. Lu Qingqiao was sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window not far away from him. She held a phone in her hand and had a video conference.

Qin Xun ignored the messages that kept popping up on his phone. Instead, he looked at the person by the window with a serious expression.

After some investigation, he discovered that Lu Qingqiao had nothing to do with him before that day. She did not know him at all, but she had managed to call out his name so accurately the first time they had met.

He also knew that there was a problem with the medicine he had taken that day.

He felt…it was rather exciting for such a strange thing to happen to him.

Lu Qingqiao seemed to sense something and turned to look at him. Qin Xun immediately lowered his head, like a child who had been caught doing something terrible.

Lu Qingqiao was still in a meeting when he finished his porridge. She noticed him and pointed at her phone. It was a signal for him to take a look at his phone.

Qin Xun looked at his phone and saw a message from her: [Upstairs, in the second room on the right. Your pajamas are on the bed, and your toiletries are also prepared. If you’re tired, go to bed first. I’ll find you when I’m done.]

Staring at the last sentence, Qin Xun inexplicably felt that he was like a concubine who was waiting for the emperor to take care of him in the ancient palace.

He touched his nose with a smile and replied, “Yes.” However, he felt that the single word was not good enough, so he added another word and sent it: [Alright, yes.]
