Chapter 42: Forty-two Chapters: Encounter with Exotic Flowers
Not long after Lu Hao and Su Jin’s house was sold, Mr. Su and Mrs. Su’s house, as well as the houses of Su Jin’s aunt and uncle-in-law, were also sold in succession. Thus, the family decided to choose a suitable day to move to Su Jin’s maternal grandparents’ house.
These days, Lu Guanhai also frequently visited Su Jin’s maternal grandparents’ house to see Su Xiangzhe, so he had already beco very familiar with the whole family.
Especially after eting Lu Hao’s master, Nie Qing, he felt that his world had suddenly beco much more colorful: for tea drinking, he had a companion; for playing chess, he had a companion; for playing Go, he had a companion; for watching TV, well, he accompanied Nie Qing; and when it ca to spending money, it was all taught to him by Su Jin’s mother, Lin Tianhui.
At that ti, Su Jin did not ask for Lu Guanhai’s bank card. She thought it was ti for Lu Guanhai to buy so things for himself, so when Lin Tianhui, Lin Tianzhen, and Huang Yunxiang went shopping together, there was not only Nie Qing but also Lu Guanhai joining them.
Lu Guanhai felt that he had covered all the shopping for his life in these few days, but the gains were quite substantial. He bought a lot of tea he liked and several collectible sets of chess and Go.
Once penniless, Nie Qing now had so money, though it was all given by Lu Hao. He had decided to wait until Lu Hao was done with this “crazy hoarding phase” to teach him everything he knew, so taking so tuition fees in advance seed only right.
Lu Hao did not yet know that the money he had given Nie Qing, allowing him to spend freely, was already considered as his own tuition fee.
He was now, along with Su Jin, inspecting the remaining three vehicles at Ban Xiaobo’s place.
Ban Xiaobo’s skills were indisputable, and there was nothing wrong with the remaining three vehicles. Altogether, including the four vehicles and the customizations, the total was 6 million yuan, which was a bit cheaper than what Su Jin had budgeted.
The four impressive armored vehicles parked in Ban Xiaobo’s garage made Su Jin feel more and more that the money was well spent.
The garage wasn’t very large and was outdoors. Lu Hao had inquired from Ban Xiaobo: only the repair area had surveillance, while the parking area did not.
Ban Xiaobo thought Lu Hao was worried about the safety of the vehicles parked there, but when Lu Hao asked for the keys to the four vehicles, saying he would bring people over to pick them up that night, he told Ban Xiaobo there was no need for him to keep guarding the place.
Rembering that there was a celebration party for him tonight, specially prepared by the garage owner to celebrate his big sale, Ban Xiaobo didn’t insist. Besides, he could see that Lu Hao didn’t want him to stick around, so he decided not to crowd the scene.
At nightfall, Nie Qing, treading lightly, followed Lu Hao and Su Jin into Ban Xiaobo’s garage.
“Uncle Nie, what do you think, can it work?” Su Jin whispered.
“I think it can, just be quick,” he replied.
It turned out that Lu Hao and Su Jin had already discussed this matter with Nie Qing. Since Nie Qing could apply the Blinding thod to an entire mountain, a small parking lot was certainly not a problem. Nie Qing agreed without hesitation; after freeloading on his disciple for so long, it was ti he contributed.
Ban Xiaobo was right; no one stayed to watch the garage at night, but since the parking area was an open space, pedestrians occasionally passed by. Therefore, Su Jin asked Nie Qing to use the Blinding thod so that passersby wouldn’t see her placing the vehicles into “Space.”
As it turned out, Nie Qing’s Blinding thod had reached a level where neither gods nor ghosts could detect it; passersby didn’t notice anything unusual about the area.
At that mont, a Teddy dog led by its owner passed by. Normally calm, the Teddy suddenly began barking loudly towards the parking lot. The owner thought there might be a danger but turning her head and seeing two n and a woman walking out of the parking lot empty-handed, all looking quite extraordinary, she quietly scolded the Teddy and told it to stop barking.
“That was close, we were almost discovered by a dog,” Nie Qing said, patting his chest with relief.
“You did great, Uncle Nie, we’ve got it all sorted out now, thank you~” Su Jin was delighted, holding Lu Hao’s hand and swinging it jovially, Lu Hao did nothing to stop her, letting her continue…
Teasing the dog, ah~~ Nie Qing covered his face; he had learned a lot from watching TV lately, including so trendy phrases.
“Brother Lu,”
Suddenly, a crisp voice reached the ears of the trio, seemingly calling for Lu Hao.
“Brother Lu, are you also out for a walk?”
Chen Xiarong ran over excitedly. During this period, Lu Hao took a leave of absence. It was said that he went on a honeymoon with his newlywed wife. She had been upset for a long ti after hearing this news, so she never expected to encounter Lu Hao here.
Su Jin’s body stiffened upon hearing this voice, and Lu Hao, noticing her previously flailing hands, stopped.
He stared at Su Jin, wondering who was calling him, but he couldn’t recall the woman before him.
Chen Xiarong, seeing that Lu Hao did not rember her, felt even more heartbroken. Could he really not recognize her at all? But she was not willing to give up just yet.
“Brother Lu, it’s , I’m Chen Xiarong. You used to give rides in your car when my dad was driving, and I’ve even been to your police station…”
“Sorry, I don’t rember you,” Lu Hao interrupted her coldly.
Chen Xiarong? The way Xiao Jin reacted just now was after hearing her voice. Recalling his previous suspicions, it seed Xiao Jin’s issues were indeed related to this woman.
Seeing Lu Hao finally pay attention to her made Chen Xiarong feel even happier. Had he finally noticed sothing special about her?
“Get lost,”
Lu Hao said.
“Brother Lu?” Chen Xiarong couldn’t believe it. Was he really telling her to leave?
“I told you to get lost, you’re in the way,” Lu Hao said bluntly.
“Brother Lu, why are you speaking to like this? You were never like this before. I even added you on WeChat. I am the daughter of Driver Chen.”
Chen Xiarong didn’t want to leave. She was determined to clarify to Lu Hao that she was Chen Xiarong, who had been secretly in love with him for two years.
“I don’t care if you are the daughter of Driver Chen, Driver Li, or Driver Wang; right now, you are blocking the way for and my wife, so please move aside,”
Lu Hao was genuinely angry. How could there be such a clingy woman? What had he done in his past life to deserve such a person staying by his side?
“Oh, my dear girl, why must you cling to him like this? When he asks you to move aside, you should just go ho. Can’t you see that the couple is trying to take a walk here?”
Nie Qing also realized it; this woman’s intentions were as clear as day to everyone.
The little girl’s rival has appeared? Watch him not help her drive away~~
By now, many passersby had started to give sideways glances, and Chen Xiarong, overwheld with embarrassnt and anger, ran away with her lips pursed and her eyes brimming with tears.
Su Jin had realized what was happening as soon as Lu Hao said ‘get lost,’ but she didn’t want to speak. She felt that even speaking one sentence with this kind of woman seed like lowering herself to a petty quarrel. Moreover, Lu Hao’s reaction had also been unexpected. Had he guessed sothing?
Lu Hao squeezed Su Jin’s hand tightly, kissed her forehead, and continued walking forward with her.
Nie Qing shook his head and also continued to follow.
The scolded Chen Xiarong walked along the road, growing more indignant the more she thought about it. Lu Hao had never treated her like this before; it must have been that woman who said sothing to him.
Yet she had done nothing wrong. Was it wrong just to quietly watch over Brother Lu from the sidelines? That woman must have seen the ssages she sent to Lu Hao. No wonder Brother Lu never replied to her WeChat ssages; that woman must have deleted her ssages after seeing them!
So despicable. How could there be such a detestable woman in the world? Next ti she saw Brother Lu, she would definitely tell him what kind of person that woman really was!
