Chapter 131: Don’t Come Even If You Have Nothing to Do

Old Master Cheng eating Leeks?

Lu Xiu sat opposite Old Master Cheng and laughed out loud when he heard what Cheng Ling said.

Old Master Cheng coughed.

“Look, the master of the Lu family is laughing at you. Be careful, don’t keep embarrassing yourself here. Get out.”

Lu Xiu thought to himself, “I’m not, I never. Why are you spouting nonsense?!”

Cheng Ling did not care. This was not a good time to insult others. She took what she wanted and prepared to go out.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qi stopped her. “Since Miss Cheng is here, let’s sit down and have a chat.”

Chat?!

What’s there to chat about?!

Cheng Ling stood there motionless. She did not want to participate in the boring conversation among the three of them.

There was still a barbecue outside, and she was hungry right now.

Old Master Cheng quickly said, “Young Master Lu, this girl isn’t sensible. There’s nothing she can do here.”

Lu Qi smiled and said frankly, “It’s okay, I just like chatting with Miss Cheng.”

Cheng Ling looked at Lu Qi. It was obvious that a sly smile was hiding in the smile on Lu Qi’s face. She didn’t believe that he kept her here just to chat with him. He probably wanted her to suffer here together with him.

Seeing that Lu Qi had said so, Old Master Cheng had no choice but to turn to Cheng Ling and change his mind.

“Since Young Master Lu has asked you to stay, then you stay.”

The skewer of leeks in her hand was constantly emitting its aroma. Cheng Ling swallowed her saliva.

“But I want to go out for the barbecue.”

Old Master Cheng became even angrier when he saw Cheng Ling’s casual look.

“What barbecue! Are we talking about the barbecue now?”

Cheng Ling had really embarrassed the Cheng family. He was worried that Cheng Ling’s attitude would anger the Lu family and ruin his plan to invite them to the birthday party. So he quickly knocked on the floor with his walking stick to show his dignity.

“Cheng Ling! Quickly come and sit down!”

Old Master Cheng’s attitude was in stark contrast to Lu Qi’s leisurely and carefree attitude.

“Old Master Cheng, don’t be angry. Didn’t you catch a cold? It’s better not to get angry. If Cheng Ling wants to eat barbecue, I’ll get someone to send it over.”

Cheng Ling only had one thought in mind at the moment, which was to ask Mi Duo to give Lu Dong a good beating when she went out.

She could have been happily eating chicken wings outside. But now…

She glanced at the living room. All the furniture had been put into places.

Lu Qi’s small villa was slightly bigger than Cheng Ling’s. The furniture they had bought had been placed in the living room.

Cheng Ling praised her taste. The furniture she had chosen matched the style and color of this place very well.

Old Master Cheng sat on the sofa with Lu Qi and Lu Xiu sitting opposite him.

Cheng Ling had no choice but to sit next to Old Master Cheng.

Old Master Cheng then continued to speak.

“Master Lu, what do you think? I’ll be waiting for your arrival on Monday.”

Lu Xiu didn’t speak as if he was waiting for an answer from Lu Qi.

Old Master Cheng was a little puzzled. Although Lu Qi was Lu Xiu’s younger brother, wasn’t he spoiling his younger brother too much? He had to ask for his opinion on everything.

Lu Qi looked at Cheng Ling. Cheng Ling was staring at the skewer of cold leeks in her hand, feeling regretful.

Feeling the gaze that stopped on her, Cheng Ling raised her head. “What’s the matter?”

“Old Master Cheng invited me and my brother to his birthday party. Do you think we should go or not?”

Lu Qi’s question was a clear indication of Cheng Ling’s relationship with him.

He saw Old Master Cheng’s attitude towards Cheng Ling just now. Therefore, he wanted to let Old Master Cheng see clearly that Cheng Ling also had a backer and could not be bullied by others.

Sure enough, when Old master Cheng heard that Lu Qi was asking for Cheng Ling’s opinion, he was stunned.

It seemed that Xie Wan was right. Cheng Ling, this girl, had already hooked up with the second young master of the Lu family. Now, even the second young master of the Lu family had spoken up for her.

However, Cheng Ling was not a meticulous person. When she heard Lu Qi ask her this question, she only had doubts in her mind.

It was up to the two of you whether to go to the banquet or not. Why did you ask me?

Even so, in front of Old Master Cheng, she did not brush Lu Qi off.

After all, if she had to choose between the two sides, she would naturally choose the Lu family.

“Are you guys busy on Monday night?”

Lu Qi said, “We can be busy and we can be free. Everything depends on you.”

Cheng Ling was speechless. Wasn’t this answer the same as not answering?!

This time, it was not only Lu Qi who looked at Cheng Ling, but the other two people in the room were also staring at her.

Cheng Ling seemed to think for a while. “Well, if you guys have something to do, it’s okay if you don’t come. But if you don’t have anything to do, it’s best not to come. Anyway, this birthday banquet should be quite boring.”
