Ch. 225 - He Was Hired by Me
Wei Family Study.
"Father."
Having received a call from Wei Wenhai, Wei Qingyu rushed back from outside, the hem of her clothes still a little damp.
"Mm."
Wei Wenhai sat on the chair, slowly lifted the teapot, poured tea into a cup, skimmed the foam, and savored it carefully.
Wei Qingyu looked at the tea pouring into the cup and suddenly thought of a post with a picture that Lu Xing had posted on his Weibo account before.
On it was a photo of Lu Xing's hand.
But what was strange was that Lu Xing's fingers were slightly red, as if they had been burned by something.
Lu Xing's caption for that photo was: 【What a hearty hand-washing with boiling water!】
Wei Qingyu could understand some of the content Lu Xing posted on Weibo, but some she couldn't.
And this Weibo post was listed in the category of things she couldn't understand.
She didn't know if Lu Xing had some strange hobby. Why would he wash his hands with boiling water? Wouldn't he get burned?
But now...
Wei Qingyu stared at the steaming teacup.
She seemed to understand.
Wasn't Lu Xing practicing how to make tea at that time?
Wei Qingyu's gaze fell on the floor by her feet, and a happy aura couldn't help but overflow from her heart.
She had understood another part of Lu Xing.
So Lu Xing wasn't very good at making tea.
It doesn't matter. She is very good at making tea. If Lu Xing wants to learn in the future, she can teach him some methods and techniques.
At the same time as being happy, Wei Qingyu also felt a vague heartache.
Before, Lu Xing had always been omnipotent in front of her, knowing and being able to do everything.
At that time, she thought Lu Xing was talented and learned everything quickly.
But after understanding that "hand-washing with boiling water," Wei Qingyu suddenly discovered...
So Lu Xing was not that much of a genius.
He also worked hard in private, studied hard, and improved.
If you just use the phrase "talented" to erase all of Lu Xing's efforts...
That would be too unfair.
Thump!
"You're very happy?"
Wei Wenhai finished a cup of tea and placed the cup heavily on the desk.
This voice, which Wei Qingyu was all too familiar with, instantly pulled her out of her memories of Lu Xing.
"I'm sorry, Father."
Apologizing was her habitual action, although she didn't know what she had done wrong.
Wei Wenhai leaned back in his chair, his deep gaze falling on the Wei Qingyu in front of him.
During this period, a major conflict had arisen between Wei Qingyu and Wei Wei, even to the point of being at odds with each other.
This was what he was happy to see.
After all, if the dogs he kept were tearing at each other's throats, he, the master, would be absolutely safe.
Otherwise, when the vicious dog looks at the master on the throne, everything will be irretrievable.
"You went to the water world today?"
Wei Wenhai asked as if casually, but it made Wei Qingyu instantly stiffen a little.
She was wrong.
She was too greedy.
She shouldn't have gone to see Lu Xing secretly.
She was now mainly responsible for several of the Wei family's more important entertainment facility projects.
And Wei Qingyu, who had always been clear about public and private matters, for the first time, used her power for personal gain.
As long as Lu Xing entered any of the Wei family's entertainment facilities, she would know at the first moment.
Last time at the aquarium, she had also rushed over like this.
Wei Qingyu's heart was in a constant battle between the happiness of seeing Lu Xing and the self-condemnation of using her power for personal gain.
She couldn't help it.
She missed Lu Xing so much.
Wei Qingyu knew she was wrong.
It wasn't that she was wrong to miss Lu Xing, but that she had misjudged Wei Wenhai's control over the company.
She shouldn't have let Wei Wenhai find out.
"You went to see that Lu Xing, right?"
Wei Wenhai dropped a bombshell nonchalantly.
He wanted to see his robot daughter show a panicked emotion with a faint smile.
But...
Nothing.
The smile in Wei Wenhai's eyes froze.
What?
Nothing at all?
Wei Qingyu said calmly, "I didn't go to see him. I just saw him from a distance. He has a lover."
She spoke so calmly that it made Wei Wenhai not know what to do.
"Didn't you promise me last time that you would pursue him?"
Wei Qingyu still replied calmly.
"I confessed to him, and he rejected me. He has a lover."
She wasn't lying. She had just changed the order of events, but every sentence was a fact.
Wei Wenhai was taken aback for a moment and observed Wei Qingyu's expression with a probing gaze.
After finding that Wei Qingyu was really calm and emotionless, he accepted that his robot daughter's first love had ended in failure.
"Alright, since you don't like him anymore, then I can tell you a piece of news."
Wei Wenhai was quite regretful.
He had long since investigated the information of the students in Wei Qingyu's class. Only this Lu Xing person's BaZi was the most compatible with Wei Qingyu.
(TL: BaZi (八字): Also known as the "Four Pillars of Destiny." It is a Chinese fortune-telling method based on a person's birth year, month, day, and hour.)
If Lu Xing and Wei Qingyu could like each other...
At that time, when Wei Qingyu was gone, he could also let Lu Xing "willingly" commit suicide with her.
So after knowing what Lu Xing did for a living, he had created a ridiculous scandal for Wei Qingyu.
While taking the opportunity to donate a building, Wei Wenhai had sent a butler to find Lu Xing and sign a contract.
After all, with Wei Qingyu's personality, it was definitely impossible for her to suddenly like a person.
So he planned to let Lu Xing be a simp, to see if he could move Wei Qingyu's heart.
But he had never expected it.
It had been more than two years, and this useless thing, Lu Xing, had actually not made Wei Qingyu's heart move.
What a waste.
Wei Wenhai thought of helping Lu Xing a little.
So he had hired that group of punks, delayed the arrival of the bodyguards, and created an opportunity for Lu Xing to be a hero saving a beauty.
Some things, you only know their weight after you've lost them.
So Wei Wenhai had ended the contract with Lu Xing, to see if Wei Qingyu's mood was really without any fluctuation.
As expected.
Wei Qingyu was moved.
Wei Wenhai was almost excited, thinking that as long as Wei Qingyu went to get Lu Xing back, then he would definitely fall in love with her.
But he had never expected it.
This time, Wei Qingyu liked Lu Xing, but Lu Xing was not moved at all.
Wei Wenhai was furious.
He had thought it was because Wei Qingyu was not working hard enough, but now, hearing her say that Lu Xing had a partner, he finally understood that it was impossible.
Since it's not going to happen...
Then he can't let Wei Qingyu have Lu Xing in her heart anymore.
"Father, what news?"
Wei Qingyu looked at Wei Wenhai with a dazed expression.
Wei Wenhai looked at Wei Qingyu's face. She looked so much like her mother.
So he couldn't wait to see the sad and broken expression on this face.
"I didn't tell you before, because I was worried about your life at school...
So I hired some of the students in your class to take care of you."
What?
Wei Qingyu was taken aback for a moment, her head rarely dazed for a moment.
Wei Wenhai continued.
"That Lu Xing was one of them."
