Chapter 475 Sent Back Again
A long while.
Only then did Xu Ziyun wake up, spitting out a mouthful of black blood.
Xu Xuejiao sighed in relief: "Finally spat it out."
After comforting Xu Ziyun, she walked out with the three old men.
Xu Xuejiao looked a bit embarrassed, bowed deeply: "Three uncles, thank you."
Then shyly tidied her hair: "Scared you, right?"
The three old men felt their minds were blank, didn't even know when this Xu Xuejiao was real, and when she was fake.
Xu Xuejiao smiled awkwardly: "I did it on purpose."
Then explained: "I took Dad's pulse. With his symptoms, persuasion is useless. That mouthful of black blood must be spat out. So... I acted like that, pretended to be very bad, to anger him. I deliberately angered him."
Chen Qingbin breathed a big sigh of relief: "Hi! Scared me, Xuejiao!"
Then explained to Lu Guanghong and Leng Tianhao: "We thought Xuejiao angered her father until he spat blood. Turns out, haha, Xuejiao deliberately angered her father to make him spit blood, hahaha, eh!?"
Xu Xuejiao said: "Anyway, once this mouthful of black blood is out, he'll recover quickly. I'm actually not that bad, elders please don't mind. My father was busy most of his life, suddenly idle, inevitably overthinking."
"Plus my business philosophy is completely different from his, so these things got entangled, causing him to be overcome by anger and frustration, leading to symptoms. Ultimately, it's still me, this daughter, who is unqualified, making the elders worry."
Saying that, she bowed deeply again.
Only then did the three old men understand.
This Xu Xuejiao used poison to fight poison, precisely to make her old dad spit out that mouthful of black blood, thus acting out that play just now.
The three had a sudden realization, couldn't help but shake their heads and chuckle.
All thinking: This girl is truly remarkable. Business flourishing, company managed with ease, even the methods for treating her old dad seem more excellent, more insightful than Xu Ziyun back then.
The stone in their hearts fell. Several old men all smiled.
Walking out, Chen Qingbin said: "Girl, you really scared uncle just now. My god, I was thinking, I watched this girl grow up, impossible!"
"Hahaha!" Leng Tianhao said: "Isn't that right, I was so scared just now I didn't even dare breathe loudly, thought... aiya, this girl, even tricked us. Hey, in the future, you will definitely surpass your father! Uncle believes you!"
Lu Guanghong also said: "Especially that last phone call, my god, my hairs stood on end, I was just thinking... this is too crazy, my son, could he be that kind of person?"
"Ah pei pei pei, I mean, Xuejiao couldn't possibly be that kind of person! Hahaha!"
Lu Guanghong said: "But Xuejiao ah, later you have to explain clearly to your father, otherwise this worry of his still won't go away."
"Three uncles rest assured. However, this matter, later you also have to speak up for Xuejiao. If I speak now, he might not even believe me."
"No problem! No problem! Duty-bound, we should!"
The three old men chuckled, relaxed, and walked to the main gate.
"Then three uncles, take care, I won't see you far."
"Okay okay okay, quickly go back and take care of your father!"
"Okay, goodbye three uncles!"
Turned around, the three old men all smiled.
Chen Qingbin: "This child Xuejiao has really grown up."
Leng Tianhao: "Yes, capable, and filial."
Lu Guanghong said: "I really regret not having a daughter!"
Xu Xuejiao turned around and answered the phone: "Chengwen-ge, hehe, who to add tonight? Jiang Shihan! Qi Meishao? Fine too, but you have to center it around me. How about making her act as a indentured servant girl who owes us both money and can't pay it back? We'll humiliate her together..."
The three old men stopped, turned back, watched Xu Xuejiao enter the villa, and once again began to doubt life.
...
In Lu Chengwen's villa.
Lu Chengwen looked at Zhao Ritian.
Zhao Ritian said: "Dage, you wouldn't be tricking me, right?"
Lu Chengwen looked at him: "Did Long Aotian give you a sum of money? A very large sum?"
Zhao Ritian: "Right!"
"Did Long Aotian tell you, the little things I gave you are like shooing away beggars?"
"Right-right!"
"Did Long Aotian also say, he treats you as a brother, can't bear to see you tricked by me?"
"Right! How do you know everything!?"
Lu Chengwen sneered coldly: "I also know, he definitely also said, Jiang Shihan is just my secretary, not my wife, right?"
"Damn you're a god!"
Lu Chengwen sighed: "Brother, looking at things, can't just look at the surface. How much did he give you?"
"One hundred million."
"Oh, think about a few questions. First, can I afford to give you one hundred million?"
"Can afford."
"If you want it now, I can give you three hundred million, five hundred million, without even frowning!"
"No no no, Dage I didn't mean that..."
"Why did he give you one hundred million, think, think slowly."
"He... wanted to show sincerity."
"Then why did he want to show sincerity?"
Zhao Ritian was stunned, stood up abruptly: "That's right!"
Lu Chengwen said: "He, Long Aotian, just knows where your flesh itches, specifically scratches it for you, makes you comfortable, then uses you to deal with me."
Zhao Ritian slammed the table: "This bastard, I knew he had no good intentions!"
Lu Chengwen said: "Brother, I'll also give you one hundred million. Then you take the two hundred million, find your sister-in-law, she'll arrange some financial projects for you. You do as she says. If your net income isn't ten million a year, consider me not a brother."
"If you lose money, however much you lose, brother will compensate you."
"If you earn less than ten million, however much is short, brother will still compensate you. How about it?"
"Dage!"
Zhao Ritian said excitedly: "Please accept this little brother's bow!"
Lu Chengwen helped him up: "Brother, elder brother said before, those two million weren't much. Elder brother can afford more. Brother thought, a heroic figure like younger brother, cannot be bought with money. Then what would I become? What would you become? What would our brotherly affection become?"
"Elder brother is far-sighted, little brother feels ashamed of my inadequacy!"
"Now the most important thing is your marriage contracts! This concerns whether you can rise to prominence in Xuecheng and marry a beautiful wife in the future!"
Zhao Ritian stood up and said: "Elder brother wait a moment, I'll go find him right now!"
"Brother be careful!"
"Elder brother rest assured!"
"Don't hit too hard!"
"I've never hit lightly!"
"Spare my Dashixiong's life!"
"Depends on his luck!"
Lu Chengwen watched his car drive far away, lowered his waving arm, turned, and walked inside.
"Long Aotian, compare wealth and extravagance with me? I can counter you until you're bankrupt!"
At this moment, Leng Qingqiu walked out: "This young man doesn't seem truly傻 (sha - silly/stupid)."
"Hmm?" Lu Chengwen was very surprised: "You mean, he... is pretending?"
Leng Qingqiu shook her head, frowning tightly: "No, he's just simple and honest, doesn't understand the dangers of the world. He's like a blank sheet of paper, came down the mountain to start learning things. His foundation is very pure and kind, easily trusts people. But often, if such people become smart, they can be terrifying."
"Him?" Lu Chengwen said: "Not to that extent, right?"
"You better be careful, never underestimate your opponent." Leng Qingqiu said: "Always make predictions assuming your enemy is on par with you, or even, assume they are more excellent, smarter, stronger than you. Only then can you be invincible, not have your eyes covered."
Lu Chengwen nodded: "I understand what you mean."
Pulled Leng Qingqiu onto his lap, Lu Chengwen's hands began to get restless.
Leng Qingqiu didn't refuse, caressing Lu Chengwen's face while saying: "You, Long Aotian, and this Zhao, the personalities of the three of you are very typical."
"Oh? Really?"
Leng Qingqiu said: "Long Aotian is just used to being domineering, thinks he's the son of heaven, those who follow him prosper, those who oppose him perish."
"And this Zhao Ritian is just the opposite. Simple-minded, easily duped. But he's definitely not a fool. His IQ isn't low, rather his living environment has always been too simple. This kind of person might be frighteningly smart at critical moments."
Lu Chengwen's hand reached into her clothes: "Then what about me?"
Leng Qingqiu took a deep breath: "You are the worst! Everything is contradictory. Sometimes kind-hearted to the point of making people anxious, sometimes wicked to the point of making people grit their teeth; sometimes clever as oil, sometimes surprisingly foolish; sometimes looks at problems, at people, from a big figure's perspective, but sometimes, looks at the world through the eyes of an ordinary commoner..."
Lu Chengwen pressed his forehead against hers: "Qingqiu, you're so good."
"The situation here has progressed too smoothly, so smoothly I'm a bit surprised."
"Mm, I'm surprised too. Seems all the difficulties were blocked in the early stages, aiya, at that time, I was so worried..."
Leng Qingqiu said: "Thanks to Xuejiao. When money was needed most, she really risked everything for you."
"Mm, I know."
"So, you have to satisfy her, can't argue with her recently."
"Hey, what do you mean."
"You know, do it the way she likes."
"This... not necessary, right?"
"Me, this person, just never trust anyone. Xu Xuejiao loves you today, might hate you tomorrow. Or, you two have one argument, she throws a tantrum, withdraws investment, the impact on business, on our development, would be huge."
Leng Qingqiu stared at Lu Chengwen: "In your eyes, she's a loyal and righteous good girl. I'm also willing to believe she's trustworthy. But, even with trustworthy people, to use them, to utilize their strength, one must also pay attention to methods."
Lu Chengwen increasingly felt Leng Qingqiu was terrifying.
This person was too rational, rational to the point of lacking human warmth.
He suddenly thought:
[Such a smart, formidable woman, can I really subdue her?]
[The things she does for me, aren't they also just strategies?]
[Does she just know how to make me happy?]
[My emotions, my joys and sorrows, have they always been manipulated by her?]
Leng Qingqiu smiled and kissed Lu Chengwen: "Me, Xu Xuejiao, and Chen Mengyun, are all the same. We both love you, and will also use some little tricks to please you, also want to be the most special one to you. How you see me is your business, how I love you is my business."
Lu Chengwen nodded. Besides smiling, didn't know what else to say.
...
Outside Long Aotian's villa.
Zhao Ritian stood with hands on hips, roaring: "Long Pen Shi, get your ass out here!"
