Mr. Lu's delicate bag

Chapter 135 Don't Turn Your Palms Upward

Gu Sheng's cell phone suddenly rang. It was his father. He rarely called him like this. Even if there was something, he would usually ask his assistant to relay the message and make the arrangements. Gu Sheng picked up the phone and stood up, "Ms. Shen, I'm going to take a call."

Shen Jiaojiao raised her eyes slightly and nodded.

Gu Sheng left the banquet hall and walked deeper into the corridor, with several bodyguards following him. "Don't follow me, I need to answer a call from my dad."

"Hey, Dad, what's wrong?"

Mr. Gu asked his assistant where his second son was, and the assistant replied that the second young master was holding a banquet today. He then asked one more question, who were the guests?

The assistant then mentioned the participants who could sign up, and Shen Jiaojiao was naturally the first to speak, so Gu's father called.

"Are you with Miss Shen?"

Gu Sheng was taken aback by the question. Was this kind of thing worth his father making a special phone call? Unable to figure out what his father meant, Gu Sheng leaned over and looked out the window. "Dad, today is the school student union's party, a social gathering for different schools. She's a member of the school student union, so naturally she's here too."

"so···".

"Dad, what's wrong? Miss Shen was present at many of my previous parties."

Mr. Gu was embarrassed to say that he had caused the destruction of a family, and was afraid that Shen Jiaojiao would deliberately get close to him. It was difficult for him to refuse these public gatherings, so he just said, "It's okay, just don't get too close."

This sentence made Gu Sheng suspicious. Could it be that his elder brother said something to his father?

He wanted to borrow Lu Shize's power to get closer to Shen Jiaojiao and increase his weight in his father's eyes.

But since the goal is to make my father value me, I naturally have to follow my father's exact intentions.

Gu Sheng lowered his voice and asked solemnly, "Dad, don't you want me to get closer to Shen Jiaojiao? In fact, with her, I can learn more from Lu Shize..."

"It doesn't matter. Our family is not bad either. We can cooperate in business if there is any, but there is no need to get too close."

Mr. Gu had been wary of Lu Shize for a long time, ever since he brought Shen Jiaojiao to this city and registered her household registration under his mother's. But after the first 14 years of the 10 years, Lu Shize didn't even have the slightest intention to investigate what happened back then.

It was only in the past four years or so that Mr. Gu gradually relaxed his vigilance.

Lu Shize's mind is full of making money. In the past ten years, he has returned to D County several times to pick up the old lady of the Shen family, or to visit occasionally and pay homage to Shen Jiaojiao's parents.

But there were no unnecessary actions during the ten years or so when I had someone keep a close eye on me.

Therefore, in the past three or four years, Mr. Gu has not been too afraid of Lu Shize overall.

It doesn't matter how his son wants to make friends. Besides, Gu Sheng, his second son, is very similar to him in nature. He basically does not do anything without profit.

Even if he didn't say it, I knew that he wanted to rely on Shen Jiaojiao to have a good relationship with Lu Shize.

The problem is that the body that was buried 14 years ago was recently discovered.

Mr. Gu frowned. He hadn't been able to sleep well in the past ten days since the news broke, and he always had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Miss Shen, have you done anything unusual recently? For example, have you asked for leave or returned to your hometown?"

Gu Sheng didn't quite understand what his father meant, but he answered honestly, "No. She basically never asks for leave. She loves studying, so I've never heard of her. She recently went back to her hometown."

Shen Jiaojiao went back to her hometown very rarely, and her two grandmothers were worried about her going home, fearing that she would feel uncomfortable and cry uncontrollably when she paid homage to her parents.

So most of the time, when Grandma Shen missed her, she would come to this city to see her by herself. Shen Jiaojiao also mentioned many times that she wanted to go back, but was basically rejected.

First, grandma was afraid that someone was behind what happened back then and had been secretly observing. As long as Shen Jiaojiao didn't come back, she would feel more at ease under Lu Shize's protection.

Secondly, Lu Shize endured for about 10 years without investigating anything because he didn't want to take any risk and anger Shen Jiaojiao, so he would not let her go back home easily.

Lu Shize knew that it was most important that the injustice of the past was redressed and his biological daughter, who was his close friend regardless of age difference, was safe and sound.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen must have hoped that their daughter would never be implicated in anything again... Therefore, Shen Jiaojiao had very few opportunities to return to her hometown.

Mr. Gu knew that he was being a little suspicious, "Okay, go ahead and do your work... Oh, by the way, Gu Sheng, you have to keep going to the doctor's office."

"Ok".

Gu Sheng hung up the phone. He had a congenital heart problem.

It is precisely because of this that, since childhood, my father’s expectations of my brother have been far greater than those of me.

Having a child you look forward to means having more opportunities, opportunities to exercise, and opportunities to try and fail, while you yourself will be more "overprotected".

Gu Sheng stroked his phone. He was probably sure that his father did not have any obvious favoritism towards his brother or himself.

However, he looked at the mottled light outside the window. The more he went to the hospital to seek medical treatment, the more afraid he became that his father would increasingly favor his brother.

No one except family members knows about this disease, and it doesn't mean that the patient will die. The doctor said that as long as he is well taken care of and treated carefully, it is not impossible for him to die of old age like other people.

But he still envied his brother because he had just made a plan and got 3 million in start-up capital directly from his father... and he...

Gu Sheng smiled. Maybe if he told his father that he wanted to go out and have fun, he would give him 1 million. The possibility was quite high. But as for the plan, his father had said last time that it would be better for him to start a small company. As for any big projects, he could give them to his brother. It was more important to take care of his health.

When Gu Sheng came back, Shen Jiaojiao was not sitting in her original seat. "Where is she?"

He raised his hand and Li Jin came over.

Li Jin came closer and said, "Boss, did Shen Jiaojiao and Lu Shize have a fight?!"

Gu Sheng's eyes moved slightly, Li Jin raised his hand to cover his lips, and quickly leaned into his ear, "I was standing behind her just now. Although it was far away and the angle was not good, my eyesight was almost as good as an air force one, so I could see... She posted a circle of friends and singled out Lu Shize."

Gu Sheng hurriedly asked, "You mean, she deliberately blocked Lu Shize?"

Li Jin shook his head. He was standing far away. Although his eyesight was comparable to that of an air force officer, he could only see Lu Shize being singled out.

"Whether it is blocked or visible individually, I don't know."

"Are you sure it's Lu Shize?"

"I just saw the note saying uncle, that should be it, right?"

Shen Jiaojiao couldn't wait for the man's reaction, so she sat in the leisure area on the second floor, looking out the window, thinking of a solution.

When it came to the second stage, Gu Sheng called two waiters up. They walked over to Shen Jiaojiao and asked respectfully, "Miss Shen, the game is about to begin. Will you come down?"

When Shen Jiaojiao stood up, they helped hold up the long hem of her skirt, which was mopping the ground, and only let go after they got downstairs.

Fang Zhi and some new friends were having a great time playing dice. Shen Jiaojiao glanced at them and then looked for Lu Yanran in the crowd...

After listening to the host picking up the microphone and telling everyone about the next game, Fang Zhi stopped what she was doing, looked at the podium, then took out her phone and sent a message to the small group that Shen Jiaojiao and Lu Yanran were in: "Where are you two? I'm at table 14 in area B. If I can't find you, you'll have to come find me."

There were several people from the school, and Fang Zhi was not wearing high heels. Some of the people were big and some were slim ladies, so they really blocked her view.

Shen Jiaojiao asked Aunt Xue, and she also said that she hadn't seen Miss Lu Yanran for several minutes. Did she go to the bathroom?

Shen Jiaojiao tugged at her skirt and called Lu Yanran, but there was no answer, as if the phone was on silent mode.

Shen Jiaojiao replied to Fang Zhi's voice message, "You play by yourself first, I'm going out to get some fresh air."

She didn't go out to get some fresh air, but was worried about Lu Yanran. Since she came in, she greeted Fang Zhi and Yanran. However, Lu Yanran looked a little unwell. Now it was the second show, and she was nowhere to be seen.

Shen Jiaojiao walked around the white corridor and wanted to go to the bathroom to look for someone, but she heard a few scoldings through the fence.

She quickly pressed Aunt Xue and said, "You...don't follow me, go back."

"this···".

"The bodyguards will protect me from a distance, you go in."

Aunt Xue had no choice but to go back. Shen Jiaojiao could tell that it was the voice of Lu Yanran's brother. She and Fang Zhi had always known that this brother disliked his sister.

But the grievances of the previous generation cannot be brushed aside with just a few words.

Lu Zhiheng held Lu Yanran's arm with one hand. He could have thought that she was unwilling to go to the various parties arranged by her mother, but... as far as he knew, she had been having dinner with that bald man in his fifties for several nights recently.

"What are you thinking? Your mom and dad are both abroad, so no one is forcing you, right?"

The man cursed at least a dozen times, becoming increasingly angry, while Lu Yanran remained silent. Shen Jiaojiao only listened to a few words before walking to the window and taking a clear look at the person opposite her.

He is indeed Lu Yanran’s brother!

In Shen Jiaojiao's view, this man was a bomb, the kind that could explode at any time, and he spoke a lot of bad words to her, but after all, it was a private matter between friends, so Shen Jiaojiao hesitated, bit her lip, and left.

If you can't help your friend, at least don't keep looking over her shoulder. This is her privacy, and you shouldn't overstep your bounds.

Shen Jiaojiao had no choice but to move forward and sit at a round table about ten meters away. If Lu Yanran had dealt with the situation well and came out, she would be the first to see her. At least she could go up to her and shake her hand to stop her from being too sad.

Shen Jiaojiao took out her cell phone and opened the game. At least when her old friend came over, she wouldn't feel that she was waiting for her on purpose.

Lu Zhiheng cursed a few more times, but Lu Yanran still looked unmoved. Frustrated, he could only let go of her hand, took out his phone and swiped it a few times.

"I transferred 30 yuan to you to open a store."

The woman looked at him in surprise. Lu Zhiheng glanced at her and said, "Fuck you, don't always be like your mother, relying on men. Do you really think that life is easy when your palms are facing up? You are licking her face. She is much older and has more thoughts than you.

Can you beat it?

Even if it’s your mother’s idea, you should wait until she comes back before you go to accompany the old man!!!”

Lu Zhiheng cursed and was angry, but he also felt that his sister might not accept his money. "You... just open a shop and make money or lose money. At least you should know that you don't have to ask men for money!"

Lu Yanran glanced at her arm, which had long been red from his grip. Now that he had let go, she turned sideways and asked, "Is everything else okay?"

"you!"

Lu Yanran didn't even bother to look at him. She turned sideways and walked away. After a few steps, she heard someone behind her, angrily, "Did you hear that? Take the money! Open your own shop!"

Lu Yanran ignored her and continued walking. Lu Zhiheng looked at her several times and was so angry that he chased after her and grabbed Lu Yanran's hand again.

But this time, before he could say anything, Lu Yanran raised her eyebrows and asked frivolously, "What? You're not a man? If I take your money, I'm not being honest?"

"you···".

Of course Lu Yanran would not accept his money.

it's the same.

He loathed himself the same way he loathed the bald old man.

Money comes with disgust.

Lu Yanran felt that she could be indifferent. These people were the same, including herself.

Everyone hates everyone else, they're all the same.

Her mother arranged for her to have dinner, so she went. Her mother asked her to buy a gift for that person, so she did.

"elder brother"···

"You..." Lu Zhiheng's heart trembled. She basically never called him brother.

Maybe there was when I first came here as a kid, but I was yelled back!

Lu Yanran looked at him indifferently and said, "Find a girlfriend, so that you won't bother me every day."

Lu Yanran couldn't understand why this person had been haunting her like a ghost in recent months. She had eaten with him twice in total.

And they all happened to be bumped into by him.

Just today when we came here for a social gathering, he chased me and at first grabbed my arm, scolding me for being fickle and asking if I was here to hook a rich husband again.

"Whether I look for it or not is none of your business!"

Lu Yanran sneered, "Okay. I'll take the money, just enough to buy a bag."

Anyway, it's too easy to be angry with the person in front of me.

He wanted to open a shop for himself, maybe thinking that he could be independent in the future and no longer obey his mother. But he didn't want to do that. A bag thing could make him so angry that he exploded.

She struggled, but the man was unwilling to let go, so Lu Yanran suddenly moved closer to his ear.

Lu Zhiheng was startled and quickly leaned back. He only heard the woman laughing softly in his ear, "Silly boy, giving me money is enough to justify your hatred?"

Killing someone is just like this, and the man loosened his hand.

Lu Yanran smiled at him again, then rolled her eyes, turned around and left with a look of indifference.

Shen Jiaojiao saw Lu Yanran coming out from afar. She knew that her friend must be sad, so she quickly turned around and called Lu Yanran.

Lu Yanran's phone was set to vibrate, so she could hear it at this moment. She picked up the phone and said, "Hello, Jiaojiao..."

Shen Jiaojiao knew that her friend was not far behind her, "Yanran, I can't find you, come find me, I'm here"...

"I see you!"

Shen Jiaojiao deliberately turned around quickly, and the two saw each other. "Yanran, what a coincidence!" Shen Jiaojiao stood up and ran towards Lu Yanran without caring about her long skirt dragging on the ground.

Seeing that his friend's arm was red, he knew that she was bullied by her brother. He quickly held her hand, stroked it silently, and led her into the banquet hall, "Yanran, why are you outside too? Let's go in quickly."

She was very afraid that the man would chase her out again. Maybe if she was there, he would not use force on her again, but he might curse at her harshly.

She wanted to protect Yanran, but was afraid that Yanran would mind her knowing.

Shen Jiaojiao couldn't find a better way, so she just stayed by her side after entering the banquet hall, looking around from time to time. She didn't see Lu Zhiheng come in, so it seemed like he should leave, right?
