Chapter 112: Party
Everyone had a good time on the trip and came back very satisfied.
Soon, Lu Hua’s grades came out. There was going to be a parents-teacher meeting. Lu Hua took the report card to Chang Qing and muttered, “My brother won’t be there anyway, so you can go for me. Everyone else’s parents will be there and I’ll be the only one alone.”
Chang Qing said: “Didn’t you ask your brother this time?”
Lu Hua snorted: “It’s no use asking. You go, you are my sister-in-law.”
Chang Qing said: “That’s fine.”
Lu Zheng didn’t have much time during the day, and was basically working.
Chang Qing went to Nanzhao, Lu Hua’s school, to be her parent.
Lu Hua’s grades have improved a lot. Knowing that he was her guardian, the head teacher said to him earnestly: “Ah, Lu Hua’s brother! This semester, I think Lu Hua’s performance has a lot to do with her guardians’ care. I can see that she has paid attention to her studies. She is more serious in class now than before. If her guardians keep paying attention then she can continue to maintain it. It won’t be a problem for her to pass the university entrance examination.”
Although most of the daughters of these wealthy people would choose to study abroad during high school, once they had a good foundation and studied hard, they could go anywhere to study.
Chang Qing obediently listened to the head teacher’s instructing, while Lu Hua was whispering to Luo Nan and the others nearby.
Luo Nan saw Chang Qing through the window and poked Lu Hua in the arm. “Is that your brother?” She asked. “He’s pretty good-looking.”
Lu Hua corrected: “He’s my sister-in-law.”
Luo Nan waved her hand indifferently, “It’s easier just to call him your brother.”
After finishing speaking, he retracted his head, pulled Lu Hua, and said, “Forget about them. Let’s go play.”
Lu Hua was pulled away from the corridor by her and went to play somewhere.
Chang Qing attended the parent-teacher meeting but he didn’t see her when he came out, so he called her and agreed to wait for her under a sycamore tree downstairs.
After waiting for a while, he heard someone calling him. Chang Qing opened his eyes and saw Qiao Zhenran’s face. He saw his eyes brighten, and then he walked to Chang Qing’s side with a slightly hurried pace. When he was only one step away he stopped, and said implicitly: “Long time no see.”
Chang Qing also smiled slightly, “Hello, boss.”
Qiao Zhenran looked at him with nostalgia in his eyes, “It feels like you have become better…you look radiant, ah. I can’t bear to look away.”
Chang Qing said, “I have a boyfriend.”
“…” Qiao Zhenran was stunned for a moment, “No wonder… who is it?”
Chang Qing paused and changed the subject. “Are you attending the parent-teacher meeting for your nephew?”
Qiao Zhenran’s eyes darkened, and he said with a smile, “My brother and sister-in-law are abroad, so only I can come here.”
The two were silent for a while, and Qiao Zhenran said, “You look much better when you smile.”
Chang Qing paused, “Thank you for the compliment.”
Qiao Zhenran laughed and said, “Hey, I’ve made up my mind too. Since you don’t like me, I can’t force you…I hope you and your current boyfriend do well and send me an invitation card when you get married. I want to drink wedding wine, and I’ll give you a big red envelope.”
Chang Qing eyes wandered for a moment, “Alright.”
Marriage still seems too far away and I don’t know if I’ll make it to that point.
Qiao Zhenran didn’t know what he was thinking, but his tone gradually became more relaxed, “Who are you waiting for? Is it your sister?”
Chang Qing hummed. Qiao Zhenran wanted to say something else when a person came up behind him and put his hand on his shoulder. “I looked away for a moment and you’re already hitting on a handsome guy?”
Qiao Zhenran’s face froze, and he looked back at the visitor without saying a word.
Chang Qing smiled slightly, “This is?”
Qiao Zhenran slowly introduced: “Mo Zhizhang, I’m not familiar with him, but he seems to be very familiar with Mr. Lu.”
Chang Qing looked at him a few times and thought he looked familiar. He had a good memory and soon remembered that it was the young man who had gone to the medicinal restaurant with Lu Zheng for dinner.
Mo Zhizhang also recognized Chang Qing. His eyebrows twitched and his tone gentled, “I recognize you.”
The scene of the first meeting was a bit awkward, which made Chang Qing feel a little embarrassed when he recognized him, so he smiled and said “Hello.”
Mo Zhizhang looked at Qiao Zhenran, then at him, and laughed, “Is he still pestering you?”
Qiao Zhenran said unhappily, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Mo Zhizhang took out a business card from his pocket, stuffed it into Chang Qing’s hand, and said with a smile: “If he pesters you again, call me and I’ll teach him a lesson.”
Chang Qing held the business card, a little dazed. Then, he looked at Qiao Zhenran. He was speechless as he looked at Mo Zhizhang. He wanted to say something, but Mo Zhizhang stopped him. “We have something to do, so we’ll go first. Call me if you have any difficult matters.”
After finishing speaking, he stopped talking nonsense, and pulled Qiao Zhenran away.
Qiao Zhenran couldn’t say anything, and was helplessly dragged away by him.
Chang Qing squinted as they left and glanced down at the business card, which was printed with the words “Mo Zhizhang, General Manager of xx Jewelry Company.”
He waited for Lu Hua and later when they were on the way home together, Chang Qing received a message from Qiao Zhenran. He said that he had nothing to do with Mo Zhizhang and that he was just a ghost chasing him.
Chang Qing found it funny. Before he could say anything, Qiao Zhenran sent another message, saying, “The tables have turned. I told you before that even strong women can be overwhelmed by a persistent man. Now I’ve run into this kind of man, I just want to beat him up… I really wronged you in the past.”
Chang Qing thought for a long time, but didn’t know what to say. Lu Hua leaned in and looked surprised. “Is that your friend?”
Chang Qing came to his senses and gave a “hmm”. Lu Hua laughed: “Don’t you know what to answer? I’ll answer for you”
After speaking Lu Hua, grabbed Chang Qing’s mobile phone and typed, “Are you an 0?”
Chang Qing: “??”
Qiao Zhenran immediately replied: “How is that possible! I am 1.”
Chang Qing snatched the phone from Lu Hua’s hand. He was speechless for a while, and then asked, “Have you been watching some nonsense?”
Lu Hua rolled her eyes and picked at the leather seat. “I saw a little bit.”
Chang Qing nudged her forehead and said, “How old are you? Studying is the most important thing right now, you know? “
Lu Hua nodded and covered her mouth, indicating that she was done talking.
Chang Qing reluctantly returned to his position, turned off his cell phone and didn’t look at it again.
After a while, Lu Hua said: “You have to be single-minded. Don’t be unfaithful.” “
Chang Qing: “…”
“m-hmm. “
After Lu Hua, Lu Shi also had a holiday.
Lu Zheng took Shi Huanchuan to some unknown place, and Shi Huanchuan’s parents were also anxious, so they quickly came over to look for someone. Lu Zheng didn’t know what to say, and sent them all away.
Lu Zheng was determined to give Shi Huanchuan some suffering.
It was none of his business, so Lu Shi didn’t ask any more questions. He was uncaring and unsympathetic. He didn’t feel sympathy for Shi Huanchuan nor did he have any burden. He went out with his classmates during the holidays, and he didn’t see much of them.
In this big villa, only Chang Qing and Lu Hua were left.
During this period, Li Xinyue also came over, but she seemed to have given up. She sent messages to Lu Zheng much less frequently, and only reported some basic information.
Lu Hua said to Chang Qing: “Actually, Teacher Li is also very good and works hard, but I think her vision is too high. I guess she can’t see our Ah-Jian.”
Chang Qing said: “You really …… ah, you’re so young but you’re trying to match make others. Does Ah- Jian like her?”
Lu Hua smiled complacently, “I can see it, hehehe; Ah Jian is so men sao. He even asked me for my teacher’s WeChat account. “
Chang Qing thought for a while and said, “Don’t meddle anymore, don’t worry about it so much.”
Lu Hua nodded, “Understood.”
Chang Qing was speechless. Lu Hua was growing very fast. She was not much shorter than him. Her face was also growing and getting more and more exquisite and beautiful. However, her limbs were still thin. No matter how much she ate, she couldn’t put on weight. He took a closer look at Lu Hua and said, “Let’s have a barbecue party tonight. Call your classmates, they can come over and liven it up a bit.”
Lu Hua became interested, “Oh, then my brother will also participate, right?”
Chang Qing nodded and smiled. “Call him and ask him.”
Lu Hua said with a smile: “Luo Nan always said she wanted to see my brother! This time there’s a chance for them to meet.”
Once Chang Qing had an idea, he left the matter of the party to Butler Lin.
Butler Lin managed things very smoothly. Not only did he keep the Lu house clean and tidy, but he and Ding Bo also managed the greenhouse not far from the villa very well. They even picked some flowers from time to time and put them in the living room. The entire room was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers, it smelt very good.
As night fell, several cars drove into the gate of the Lu family villa. In addition to Lu Hua’s classmates, and Lu Shi’s classmate, Chang Qing also invited Zhang Xinyu and the others over.
Only Lu Zheng, who has no friends, was alone. He slipped back in.
Lu Hua received the students and led them to the wide lawn where the barbeque was. Although the weather was still cold, there was a fire, and their bodies soon became warm. Lu Hua’s friend Luo Nan looked around and saw the figure of Lu Hua’s elder brother. She tugged at Lu Hua and asked, “Is that the most handsome brother that you talked about?”
Lu Hua glanced at the place she pointed to and laughed, “It’s him! How’s that? Is my brother handsome?”
Luo Nan said sincerely: “Do you need a sister-in-law? Because I can do that.”
Lu Hua snorted: “Don’t dream, my brother has a man.”
Luo Nan: “… a man?”
Lu Hua pointed to the person next to Lu Zheng, “It’s him, he’s my sister-in-law.”
Luo Nan: “Huh?? Isn’t he your oldest brother’s wife?”
Lu Hua corrected: “Now he’s my second brother’s wife.”
Luo Nan: “…”
Wait, this is a bit too much information.
Over there, Lu Zheng was whispering to Chang Qing, “Why did you call so many people over?”
Chang Qing said, “They’re all your sister’s classmates, not mine.”
Lu Zheng asked vigilantly, “Is Lin Yifeng is coming too?”
Chang Qing quietly reached out and pinched his fingers, “I’ve already made it clear to him. Don’t be jealous, we’re friends after all.”
Lu Zheng said: “He’s been popular lately, right? How does a busy man have time to come here for a party.”
Chang Qing remembered what happened with Qiao Zhenran when he attended Lu Hua’s parent-teacher meeting, and he told Lu Zheng about it.
Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, “Mo Zhizhang? He’s chasing Qiao Zhenran?”
Who knows what came to mind, but Lu Zheng’s lips curled up and he smiled, “This is going to be a good show.”
Chang Qing asked: “Why do you say that?
Lu Zheng took advantage of the fact that no one was looking at them, kissed Chang Qing and said with a smile, “That guy Mo Zhizhang is very bad, that surname Qiao can’t defeat him. If we wait another year, sooner or later Mo Zhizhang will eat him.”
As he said that, his mood improved. Qiao Zhenran was also a potential rival, it was good for him to be solved like this.
Chang Qing smiled, noticed Lu Zheng’s relaxed expression, and asked, “Then do you still want to fire him?”
According to Lu Zheng’s statement, he was going to wait for the project in Qiao Zhenran’s hands to recover the funds before letting him go but now he wasn’t sure.
Lu Zheng thought for a while, then laughed, “I’ll leave it alone. Let him stay and watch the show.”
Chang Qing: “… you’re also quite wicked.”
Lu Zheng didn’t argue, he pinched Chang Qing’s face affectionately, and said, “Aren’t I forgiving and generous?”
Generous, my ass. Understand your own self, okay?
