Chapter 11: Chapter 11 Eating the Tofu of the King of Hell? Chapter 11: Chapter 11 Eating the Tofu of the King of Hell? “I’m looking into whether or not I can cure your legs.”
The girl’s expression didn’t show any panic as she tilted her head and said, “Although I can’t do it right now, I definitely will be able to later.”
“Are you joking?”
The bodyguard behind frowned tightly, “The top doctors in the world have been unable to cure President Li’s legs, how can you, a naive little girl, make such a bold claim?”
The others at the banquet were quite far from the corner, unable to hear clearly what was being said; they could only see that Lu Sheng had just said sothing and then got scolded by the bodyguard.
The bodyguard looked quite disdainful.
And rightfully so. Where did this reckless girl who is not afraid of death co from? It was bad enough that she dared to strike up a conversation with Old Mr. Li, but to even dare to take liberties with him.
Old Mr. Li will surely teach her a lesson.
By tomorrow, she might just disappear from Jiang City.
Everyone was secretly muttering in their minds, all with an expression of eager anticipation for the drama. However, to their surprise, Lu Sheng was not punished.
Instead, Li Muchen looked up at the bodyguard, his gaze icy cold, “Did I allow you to speak?”
“Uh…” The bodyguard got startled, frightened by Li Muchen’s cold gaze.
Realizing that he had overstepped, the bodyguard instantly beca fearful and flustered, “I’m sorry, President Li, I…”
“Step down.” Li Muchen spoke impassively.
“Yes, President Li!” Without another word, the bodyguard quicky stepped back, not daring to even breathe out loud thereafter.
“…Do you also think I’m just talking big?” Lu Sheng pursed her lips and looked at the man, seemingly a bit aggrieved.
Her eyes glossed over with a slender layer of watery mist, looking pitiful.
Yet for so reason, Li Muchen could imdiately tell that this resentful look on the girl was a pretense, as if she wanted him to feel pity.
Li Muchen stated calmly, “I’m just very curious what thod you’re talking about to cure my legs.”
“Do you really want to know?”
The aggrieved look on Lu Sheng’s face disappeared, a sly smile flickering in her eyes instead as she slowly leaned closer to the man’s ear.
“If you want it to be faster… it would need to be done the sa way as yesterday. Are you willing?”
—The sa way as yesterday?
It felt as though a soft touch still lingered on his lips.
The girl’s warm breath, along with her soft-spoken words, tickled his ear, bringing a sensual thrill.
Li Muchen’s Adam’s apple bobbed, but before he could reply, the girl in front of him was suddenly pulled away.
“President Li!”
Lu Jingyan, who had just learned of the situation, suddenly appeared in front of Li Muchen. He grabbed Lu Sheng’s hand and pulled her to his side.
“I apologize, President Li, this is my sister Lu Sheng. She just arrived in Jiang City yesterday and was unaware of your status. If she has offended you in any way just now, I apologize on her behalf.”
Lu Jingyan took a deep breath, bending down very politely, his face carrying an apologetic expression.
Li Muchen’s brow furrowed, his eyes dimd upon seeing the girl’s hand being held by the man, feeling sowhat displeased deep inside.
“Big brother…”
Lu Sheng called out, appearing ek and timid, nothing like the bold and flirtatious deanor she had shown just monts ago in front of him alone.
“Apologize to President Li right now,” Lu Jingyan frowned, his voice low as he rebuked Lu Sheng, as if he feared Li Muchen might bla her.
Li Muchen lifted his gaze and said, “…No need, she did not offend .”
Hearing what Li Muchen said, Lu Jingyan finally sighed in relief, “I’m glad you do not mind, President Li. I will teach her the proper manners from now on.”
“Since that’s the case, we will leave you to rest,” Lu Jingyan was very polite, then imdiately pulled Lu Sheng away.
Li Muchen watched as Lu Sheng’s figure disappeared from sight.
What concerned him was that the girl was indeed pulled away, yet she didn’t even turn her head back, not giving him another glance, truly unfettered.
He couldn’t help but exhale deeply.
…Flirting and leaving, huh.
——
Lu Jingyan dragged Lu Sheng to a secluded spot, released her hand, and couldn’t suppress his anger as he exclaid, “Lu Sheng! What on earth were you thinking?”
“Do you have any idea who the man you just tried to talk to is? He is soone who could turn Jiang City upside down with just a flick of his finger, even I wouldn’t dare to bother him casually.”
“Do you realize the consequences if you had offended him just now? The properties that Lu Family has worked hard for all these years could all be affected; even you could be in danger.”
“I’m telling you, you’re in Jiang City, not in the countryside. You are a mber of the Lu Family, and every move you make is being watched. Do you know what it ans to watch what you say and do carefully?”
Lu Jingyan said all this with overwhelming montum.
Soone had co over and told him that Lu Sheng had gone to Li Muchen, even touched him when she approached, which really made his heart jump to his throat.
How could Lu Sheng, who was normally well-behaved, run over and provoke that formidable figure, and even dare to touch him?
Lu Jingyan was both anxious and angry; half because he was worried that offending Li Muchen could impact the Lu Group, and half out of fear for Lu Sheng’s safety.
Everyone said that Old Mr. Li was capricious and ruthless, especially despising won and hated it when won approached him proactively.
If Li Muchen got angry, it was not impossible to drag Lu Sheng out even at a banquet, and no one would dare to stop him.
While he was speaking furiously, he suddenly saw the young girl’s eyes redden, and his scolding ca to an abrupt halt as he opened his mouth and stuttered, “You…”
“Big brother, I didn’t go over there casually. I t this person yesterday,” Lu Sheng sniffled and said in a low voice.
“…What?” Lu Jingyan was stunned, “How did you et Li Muchen?”
“Yesterday, after I left the train station, my wallet was stolen. I had no money on , and then I t this person on the roadside, and he lent so money.”
“I didn’t expect to run into him at today’s banquet, and I didn’t know who he was. I just wanted to go over and thank him; he didn’t seem to find annoying.”
——So that was it.
Lu Jingyan couldn’t help but be astonished.
No wonder when he first saw Lu Sheng yesterday, she was sitting alone by the roadside, all filthy—it turned out she had encountered robbers.
“Why didn’t you tell about this incident? Don’t you have my phone number?” Lu Jingyan took a deep breath.
“Big brother forgot, huh? I forgot to save your contact na,” Lu Sheng lowered her eyes, “and… I wasn’t sure if this would cause big brother trouble, make big brother dislike even more.”
“You… what are you saying?” Lu Jingyan said in shock.
“I know big brother dislikes , not just big brother, but dad, Aunt Jiang, and the other brothers, too.”
Lu Sheng lowered her head, her voice slightly choked up, which was heart-wrenching to hear.
“Although I am big brother’s sister, we only share half of our blood, and it was because dad had an affair… It’s understandable that you all dislike .”
“Just being able to co to Jiang City and knowing that I still have relatives in this world, I am already very content. I don’t expect much…”
The girl’s tears dripped onto the ground, leaving dark traces as they hit.
Before she could finish her words, the next second, she unexpectedly found herself enclosed in the broad embrace of the man.
“I’m sorry…”
Lu Jingyan held Lu Sheng in his arms, the man who was just furious took a deep breath, “It’s my fault, I should have gone to the station to pick you up yesterday.”
“…Big brother?” Lu Sheng looked up, dazed, eting the man’s guilt-ridden expression.
“I admit that because of father and your mother, I have a barrier against you in my heart, but after all, it’s not your fault.”
“No matter what, I am still your big brother, yet I didn’t even know about your encounter with robbers yesterday. Did you get hurt?”
Lu Jingyan quickly looked Lu Sheng over from head to toe, and after confirming there were no injuries on her body, he finally let out a breath of relief.
Thankfully, the robbery was just for money and didn’t involve anything else against such a frail girl.
“Here, take this card, there’s no PIN,” Lu Jingyan took out a bank card from his suit pocket, “it has a million on it, consider it your pocket money, ask when you run out.”
Lu Sheng opened her mouth to refuse but Lu Jingyan blocked her, insisting, “Take it, you ca here yesterday without even a change of clothes, use this money to buy clothes and daily necessities.”
“But…”
“Listen to .”
“Well… thank you, big brother.” Lu Jingyan’s tone left no room for refusal, so Lu Sheng sniffled and accepted the card.
In a blink of an eye, she was t with the incredulous look from Lu Qianrou, and that expression nearly biting her lips in anger.
