Chapter 66 Xu Ruochen
The gift Lu Yao prepared for Xu Ruochu was a safety buckle bought at the Chenghuang Temple.
It looks like jade, but judging from the price of more than 300, it is just agate at most.
After he came back from school in the afternoon, he made a special trip to buy it.
When he entered the Chenghuang Temple, he even put on the incense sticks.
Previously, he was a staunch atheist.
But once he was reborn... he didn't dare anymore.
Not to say superstitious, but at least have a sense of awe.
After putting on incense sticks, buying a safety buckle, and delivering gifts, he returned home.
The atmosphere of the family went from being anxious before the scores came out to being ecstatic before, and now it has gradually returned to calm.
In other words, the mood is very peaceful.
At the dinner table, my parents began to plan what they would buy recently.
For example, I want to buy Lu Yao a laptop. However, Lu Yao chose to buy a desktop computer. After all, he had already repaid Fuhua and it was very close to home. The desktop computer was obviously better in all aspects of performance.
For another example, the family also wants to go on a trip.
But considering that Xu Ruochu gave "180,000", it was not easy for the child to ask for leave.
Both of them looked regretful.
As for the last thing...it's the latest plan for the home.
Lu Yuanshan plans to go to Hon Hai Real Estate tomorrow to see how this procedure is handled. As soon as he gets the entry procedure, he will rush to deliver the car to the logistics company.
As for Chen Aihua... he plans to go back to work.
I have taken a few days off because of the child's affairs. It seems that nothing is going on now, and life should return to normal track.
Lu Qing also has his own matters.
She had to apply for a passport and go through various procedures according to the procedures for studying abroad, but she could do these by herself.
As for Lu Yao...just work normally.
And now there is only a college entrance banquet left. Lu Yuanshan means that when he comes back from the real estate company tomorrow, he will see when the company lets him go to work. If it is the first of next month, then he will seize the time to hold one in the next few days. At the same time, He wanted to go back to his hometown in Yu Province as soon as possible.
The relatives there also knew that Lu Yao did very well in the exam and had to go back to set up a table.
He also asked Lu Yao to test whether he could take a day or two off. For such a thing, he, the top scholar, would definitely go back and show his face.
Lu Yao didn't dare to guarantee it, so he could only say that he would try his best.
The last thing the family discussed was that it all depends on people, and we should take it one step at a time.
Although there is still one week until next month, the time is really tight.
After discussing it, the couple went for a walk hand in hand.
After arranging their children's affairs, they obviously have many plans of their own in the face of this new future.
Lu Qing returned to the room, opened the notebook and began to search for the procedures. Lu Yao thought for a while, then walked out with the basketball in his arms.
I haven’t exercised yet today.
At almost 9 o'clock, Ms. Chen, who came back from a walk, saw her son on the court:
"Yaoyao, go home."
"Coming."
After waving hello to the neighbors, he hugged the basketball and followed his parents home, covered in sweat.
"When you go to work tomorrow, remember to invite your boss to our family's college entrance banquet."
"...Well, I'll try my best. But if my boss doesn't come, there's nothing I can do."
"It's just a meal! We have been given such a valuable gift, so we should be grateful."
Ms. Chen was very insistent.
Lu Yao responded.
After returning home, he took a shower and went to bed directly.
After finishing breakfast in high spirits on the morning of the 26th, I walked out of the door carrying the steamed dumplings made by my mother.
Since he started bringing breakfast to Xu Ruochu every day, the standard of breakfast food at Lao Lu's house has also skyrocketed.
Anyway, Lu Yao has never eaten non-holiday steamed dumplings in the morning since he was a child... They are still freshly made.
I don’t know what time my mother got up.
But when he arrived at the door of Xu Ruochu's house and saw that the safe buckle box he had placed yesterday was still in its original place, he was startled... Didn't the other party go home?
After thinking for a while, he rang the doorbell.
I pressed several times, but no one answered.
After hesitating for a moment, he swiped the door card and opened the door directly, and moved all the laundry in large and small bags.
Then he glanced at the bedroom door.
Sure enough, the bedroom door was open.
It seems that the other party really didn't come back.
Seeing this, Lu Yao left the house directly, went downstairs and drove towards Tan Palace.
By this time, the traffic jam in the capital had already started. There were many cars and he walked very slowly. By the time he arrived at the gate of Tan Palace, it was already 9:30.
He dialed Xu Ruochu's phone number directly.
"Dudu... hello."
"Mr. Xu, are you in Tan Palace?"
"Well..."
Xu Ruochu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something and said:
"Yes, I forgot to tell you, I'm here. Just wait for me, I'm going back now."
"I am now at the gate of Tan Palace. When I took your clothes to the Fortune Garden in the morning, I rang the doorbell. After making sure that you were not there, I moved all the clothes into the Fortune Garden and walked this way."
"Are you at the door?...Okay, then just drive in. Do you remember the location of my house?"
"Remember."
"Well, just come here."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yao drove the X6 to the villa area known as the first luxury house in Puxi again without any obstruction.
Not to mention... the early morning sunshine mixed with these landscape trees makes it feel a bit quiet in the midst of chaos.
It would be an understatement to say that every layer of the forest is dyed with dye.
Following his memory, he came all the way to the gate of the manor where he didn't dare to think about how much it cost. Instead of driving in, he parked on the side of the road and got out of the car.
Through the iron fence, he saw some children's toys, swings, two Rolls-Royces, a Ferrari, and two nanny cars in the yard.
This front yard is almost as big as a basketball court.
While he was thinking about it, he saw a trash can on the roadside. After confirming that there was a small smoking window between the two trash cans, he walked over and lit a cigarette.
As a result, just after taking two puffs, I heard the sound of the door.
She subconsciously turned around and saw Xu Ruochu walking out with the buddy who called her sister on the day of the funeral.
Moreover, both of them were dressed very formally. Xu Ruochu wore an iconic black dress, a pure white pearl necklace, and a very dignified bun. She was so simple and elegant to the extreme.
But it is a first-class romantic in the world.
And that guy was wearing a suit... but if you can ignore his swollen eye sockets and slightly messy hair, the two siblings are also very good-looking.
Lu Yao threw the cigarette butt directly into the trash can, quickly came to the car and opened the door.
And Xu Ruochu naturally saw him.
So he said:
"Lu Yao, drive this today."
she said, pointing to the Rolls-Royce.
Xu Ruochen, who looked depressed, also looked over.
But he squinted to see... because facing the sun was too painful for someone with swollen eyelids.
"Okay, Mr. Xu, then this car..."
"Stop in."
"Okay."
Lu Yao nodded and got into the car.
Xu Ruochen rubbed the tears from the corners of her eyes and yawned...
"Ha...well. Sister, why don't you go by yourself. I'm so sleepy..."
Xu Ruochu turned to look at him.
No words were spoken.
But Xu Ruochen sighed helplessly as if she had resigned herself to her fate.
"Alas..."
By the time Lu Yao parked the car and got out of the car, Xu Ruochu had already taken out the keys to the Rolls-Royce from his bag.
After Lu Yao got off the car, she handed over the keys and said proactively:
"You should have met, my brother, Xu Ruochen. Ruochen, this is Lu Yao, my assistant, and the top scorer in the national college entrance examination this year. You will be alumni from now on, learn more from him."
"...???"
"...?"
Not to mention Xu Ruochen, Lu Yao had a trace of doubt on his face.
Xu Ruochen opened her red bloodshot eyes and looked at Lu Yao:
"The top scorer in the country?...Is it you who scored 720 in the test?"
"...Hello, Mr. Xu."
Lu Yao greeted politely.
Xu Ruochen nodded first, then looked at Xu Ruochu:
"Your assistant? You want the top pick in the country to be your assistant?"
And Xu Ruochu had a smile on his face now.
It even has a bit of a bad taste:
"No way?"
"..."
What responded to her was the speechless absurdity on Xu Ruochen's face.
Then, he turned to look at Lu Yao:
"How old are you?"
"Mr. Xu, I am eighteen this year."
"...92 years?"
"Yes."
"What month?"
"March."
"Then I'm older than you. I'm the first month of the year. Just call me Brother Chen. Don't call me Mr. Xu, it sounds weird."
Lu Yao's mouth twitched.
Brother, you calculate the lunar calendar, right?
It’s also the first month of the lunar calendar for me.
And Xu Ruochu also looked over curiously:
"Were you born in March? What date? Gregorian calendar?"
"Yes, Mr. Xu, March 1st in the Gregorian calendar."
"...Huh?"
Both siblings were surprised now.
Xu Ruochen asked again:
"When...were you born?"
"Uh...I don't know that."
"...Then it's okay for you to call me brother. I was born at 2 o'clock in the morning."
Lu Yao asked subconsciously:
"It's also March 1st?"
"Yes, we both have the same birthday."
After Xu Ruochen finished speaking, she waved her hand again:
"You can call me Brother Xiaochen. I must have been born earlier than you." "Okay, Brother Xiaochen."
Lu Yao didn't have any psychological burden.
The boss's brother can be called whatever he wants.
However... it was also the first time that he met someone born on the same year, same month and same day.
Not to mention, this feels really weird.
"Yeah."
Xu Ruochen nodded, glanced at her sister again, and said;
"Get in the car. Will this car drive?"
"First time opening."
"Can you open the huai block?"
"Yes."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Then I'll sit in the passenger seat and help you keep an eye on it. This car has a high field of vision. It's my first time driving, so I'm used to it... Hmm~"
Lu Yaoxin said that this man was quite considerate.
After nodding, Xu Ruochu walked directly to the back without using him to pull the car door.
Seeing this, Lu Yao also got in the car.
This was really his first time driving a Rolls-Royce.
Not to mention how luxurious this car was, he was really a little nervous.
Because...only after getting in the car did I realize how long the car was.
And just like Xu Ruochen said, its central control field of view is indeed much higher than that of ordinary cars.
"Just stare at this contour line. This line is the front face, and there's nothing else... um... eh?"
After Xu Ruochen finished speaking to Lu Yao, her nose suddenly moved.
He glanced at Lu Yao subconsciously.
But he didn't say much and just put down the chair.
"Sister, I'm going to take a nap. Call me somewhere."
"Okay."
After Xu Ruochu agreed, he said to Lu Yao:
"Do you still remember the private restaurant where we had dinner last time?"
“That Cantonese restaurant on the Bund?”
"Yes. Go there."
"Okay."
Lu Yao nodded and drove the car slowly.
The Rolls-Royce slowly drove out of the community. At first, the car was silent.
Xu Ruochen was sleeping, and Lu Yao was getting used to this Rolls-Royce.
However, after driving along with the traffic for a while, he gradually got used to the car.
Apart from being longer, there is nothing else.
At this time, Xu Ruochu from behind said:
"Have you made an appointment with Wang Tao this afternoon?"
"Not yet. Do you want me to make a date?"
"Well, there's nothing to do after lunch. I'm going to do some body management in the afternoon. You can arrange the time."
"Are you going to a beauty salon?"
"Yes."
"Okay, then I'll put the meeting place near there. Do you think that's okay?"
"Yeah."
After the two of them finished speaking, Xu Ruochen yawned again and adjusted her seat from the original lying position to a sitting position.
Apparently, he couldn't sleep either.
Listening to the conversation between the two, he turned to look at Lu Yao:
"How did you get a score of 720?... You got perfect scores in math and comprehensive science, right? I saw it said so in the news."
"...right."
"How long did it take you to solve the last problem in mathematics?"
"Well..."
Lu Yao thought for a while and said:
"I don't really remember."
In fact, he remembered.
That question is quite simple...you can figure it out at a glance.
It's nothing more than an elliptic equation.
"Tsk."
Xu Ruochen smacked her mouth, and suddenly her nose moved again.
"Sister, do you smell it?"
"What?"
"...I don't know, it's quite fragrant. It's like...someone cooked it."
"...Brother Xiaochen, maybe it's the lunch box I brought."
As Lu Yao said this, he took out the milk tea paper bag from the door storage compartment of his seat.
"Inside are steamed dumplings made by my mother."
"...Sister, you don't care about food? Are you abusing child labor?"
"..."
Xu Ruochu's mouth twitched.
But Xu Ruochen had already taken the milk tea bag, looked at it and asked:
"What stuffing?"
"Smelt eggs."
"Can I eat it?"
"Okay, I brought it to Mr. Xu originally."
Before Lu Yao finished speaking, Xu Ruochen was speechless and turned to look at her sister:
"Is this what you told our dad to start cooking?"
"..."
Inexplicably, the female president also looked uncomfortable.
"What's in this thermos cup?"
"My mother made soy milk."
"Bring it to my sister too?"
"Uh...I drank it myself."
Lu Yaoxin said to help cover it up quickly, but after hearing this, Xu Ruochen asked with a disgusted look like "Do you think I am mentally retarded?"
"Have you had breakfast?"
"Already eaten."
"Why do you still drink soy milk after you've had breakfast? You're just fooling me."
"Uh..."
Lu Yao, whose thoughts were broken, didn't know what to say.
Instead, it was Xu Ruochu who spoke:
"If you want to eat, just eat, don't talk so much nonsense."
"Hey."
Xu Ruochen smiled and opened the lid of the lunch box.
First he smelled it and said with a smile:
"It smells delicious. Then I'll eat it...sister, will you eat it?"
"..."
Xu Ruochu said in his heart that it was originally mine.
But looking at her brother who had already picked one up and stuffed it into his mouth, she still shook her head:
"You can eat it. Just give me the soy milk."
"Ni Jue, look at my Buddha. Ni Jue has been late more than once."
With a steamed dumpling stuffed in his mouth, he spoke a little slurred.
At the same time, he also handed over the thermos cup and lunch box:
"It's delicious, sister, and the courgette doesn't smell good in the morning after eating it. It won't affect you for a while."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Lu Yaoxin asked, "Don't you two have housekeepers at home?"
Why can't you even get a meal?
But...Xu Ruochu finally made a steamed dumpling.
Soon, the aroma of steamed dumplings filled the car.
Xu Ruochen directly opened the passenger window.
So, the guys in the private car next to me were dumbfounded as they watched the handsome guy sitting in the passenger seat of the Rolls-Royce stuffing one into his mouth, showing off his virtues...
Soon, a large box of steamed dumplings was gone.
One of the siblings used a thermos cup with a lid that could serve as a cup, and the other took the cup and started dividing the soy milk.
After Xu Ruochen had eaten and drank enough, she found a wet wipe and wiped her hands, then leaned on the seat again.
"Huh... I'm alive. Don't mention it. You drank too much the night before. Drinking some soy milk in the morning is really comfortable."
As he spoke, he seemed to be still thinking about it.
But his eyes glanced at Lu Yao who was driving, as if he was looking for something.
"Don't drink so much next time."
"I can't help it. I was late yesterday. It's not like you don't know Xu Wei's virtue..."
The two started chatting about some differences between their parents.
As for Lu Yao, his left ear went in and his right ear went out, concentrating on driving.
At around ten o'clock, we finally arrived at the Bund.
There are many foreign-style houses on the Bund, but most people in the city actually don’t know what these foreign-style buildings are like.
The same goes for Lu Yao.
After arriving at the Cantonese restaurant, Xu Ruochen pointed Lu Yao to an unmarked foreign-style building not far from the restaurant.
"Sister, you get off the car first, and I'll take him to the parking lot."
"Okay."
As Lu Yao stopped the car, Xu Ruochu got out of the car.
Then, Xu Ruochen guided him to a parking space. After parking the car, he reached out to Lu Yao:
"Hurry up and have a cigarette."
"..."
Lu Yao's mouth twitched.
Seeing that he didn't move, Xu Ruochen urged:
"Don't pretend, I smelled it as soon as I got in the car, hurry up..."
When Lu Yao looked at him, he looked exactly like the student who secretly smoked in the toilet behind the teacher's back at school.
So he took out his Liqun from his pocket.
"Hey, Liqun? This smoke is so powerful."
He took it, lit it skillfully, and blew out a stream of smoke.
"Huh... a cigarette after a meal makes me feel as happy as a god. But it suffocates me to death."
With a face full of satisfaction, he turned to look at Lu Yao:
"Are you interested? If you are interested, come up with me and have a look later?"
Hearing this, Lu Yao asked:
"What are you looking at?"
After saying that, he saw the disgust on Xu Ruochen's face:
"Watching a bunch of idiots performing in front of a lunatic that I don't understand at all and then pretending to understand."
"...?"
