Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Giving You a Million to Leave Him
Qi Sheng took Lu Zhanxing to find Grandfather Qi, only to be told that the person had just left.
Lu Zhanxing felt quite regretful and could only say that it must be fate that he and Professor Qiao weren’t meant to meet.
*
Li Hanzhou and Shen Qi left first, and Qiao Yun had agreed to meet with them later.
“Remember to contact us,” Li Hanzhou instructed.
Qiao Yun replied with a soft voice, “I know.”
Li Hanzhou unceremoniously ruffled Qiao Yun’s hair, satisfied, he then left.
After that, Qiao Yun returned to the banquet and, not seeing Lu Zhanxing, stood still to wait.
It was at this moment that Xun Minzhi approached her, looking at Qiao Yun arrogantly and scoffed, “Tell me, how much money will it take for you to leave Zhanxing?”
Qiao Yun ignored her.
Xun Minzhi, feeling slighted, held back and continued, “Is one million enough?”
Qiao Yun frowned slightly, “You’re so noisy.”
Xun Minzhi almost ground her teeth, “Don’t be too greedy! I’m willing to give you money now, but if you irritate me, you won’t get a single cent! If you want resources, I can provide that too, but you have to leave Zhanxing!”
Qiao Yun looked her up and down and said with a lifeless voice, “He doesn’t like you.”
Xun Minzhi’s face changed color, this person was too ungrateful; even if she had the money, she wouldn’t give it to her!
“Don’t regret it!”
Having said that, she left with a cold face.
When you don’t drink the toast, you have to drink the forfeit!
Lu Zhanxing didn’t see Xun Minzhi come to trouble Qiao Yun, and since Qiao Yun didn’t take the matter to heart, she naturally didn’t go out of her way to tell Lu Zhanxing.
“Little sister, sorry to keep you waiting, I just went to find a friend,” Lu Zhanxing said as he approached with a plate in hand, which held some profiteroles, cupcakes, and other sweets.
“If you don’t like them, brother will go get you something else.”
“No need.”
Qiao Yun took the plate and bit into a profiterole.
Lu Zhanxing stood by, watching her eat, noting quietly in his mind what Qiao Yun liked and disliked.
After the charity evening ended, Xie Ying came to pick up Lu Zhanxing and Qiao Yun.
By the time they got home, it was already past midnight.
Qiao Yun yawned, and seeing her tired, Lu Zhanxing urged her to go rest.
Without saying much, Qiao Yun went back to her room, her steps light and airy.
Because of Li Hanzhou’s unchanging attitude, she was physically tired but not so much mentally.
She found it odd herself, why did she feel happy?
Lu Zhanxing sat down in the living room for a while. He had drunk a little and wanted to air out the alcohol.
Besides, he had worries on his mind.
The enthusiasm of those big shots towards his little sister was a bit too much. Maybe it was an actor’s intuition, but he felt something was off.
After a moment of thought, Lu Zhanxing called Lu Jingzhi, and as he was probably still working, the call was quickly answered.
Lu Zhanxing sounded somewhat displeased, “Big brother, the charity evening is such an important event, how could you let sister attend alone? You all are too carefree.”
“What charity evening?”
Lu Jingzhi put down his papers and pinched the bridge of his nose.
“The Qi Family’s charity evening.”
“You must be drunk. The Qi Family has no close ties with us, we didn’t receive an invitation.”
Lu Zhanxing was stunned and retorted, “Impossible! Where did sister’s shiny gold invitation come from then, if not invited?”
“Go sleep if you’re drunk,” Lu Jingzhi advised him. “Even if they were inviting us, they wouldn’t give us a gold invitation. The Qi Family’s gold invitations are reserved for VIPs only.”
“What!?” Lu Zhanxing gasped, “What VIPs?!?”
