Chapter 41: Sudden Appearance

Even Cheng Ling, who had always been calm and composed, turned around. Her bright eyes were full of surprise.

It was sunset, and the clouds outside was dyed red like fire by the sunset.

Standing by the door, Lu Qi’s body was covered with warm light.

Cheng Ling knew that things in the world were unpredictable, but she had never thought that it could be to this extent.

She had been chatting with Lu Qi on WeChat the night before. And today, he actually appeared in front of her.

He… didn’t he have something to do?

Cheng Ling blinked her eyes. She was still a little stunned when Lu Qi walked to her side.

The herbal fragrance from Lu Qi’s body entered Cheng Ling’s nose, and the fresh mint smell brought her back to her senses.

What did Lu Qi say just now?

Since the Cheng family couldn’t take the responsibility, then he would?

For a moment, Cheng Ling felt her cheeks burning.

The arrival of the uninvited guest seemed to have disrupted everyone’s rhythm. Xie Wan and Cheng Ming were still bending over to speak nicely to Ding Shan. When they saw Lu Qi, they quickly greeted him.

Even if Lu Qi was a sickly man and didn’t have much strength, he was still Lu Xiu’s younger brother after all. Thus they couldn’t offend him.

Although Ding Shan was the son of the Ding family, he was good for nothing. He only eat, drink, and play. He did not know anything about the business world or the political world.

Old Master Ding’s exact words were, “Ding Shan has never done anything right in his life. The only thing that makes me happy is that he gave me a good grandson, Ding Yu!”

From this, it could be seen how much Old Master Ding despised his son and how much he favored this grandson.

Ding Shan, who only knew how to indulge in debauchery, naturally did not know who Lu Qi was, not to mention the Dean of Education, Tang Hai.

Despite Lu Qi’s temperament, Ding Shan was not intimidated.

Someone who could be responsible for Cheng Ling, who had a father but no mother, was definitely not an important person.

In just a moment, Ding Shan returned to his domineering appearance.

“Who are you? How dare you stand up for her?”

“Since you want to take responsibility, then you will be responsible. This person hit my son. How should I be compensated?”

As Ding Shan spoke, he pointed at Cheng Ling.

It was Lu Dong who informed Lu Qi about what happened to Cheng Ling.

After all, Cheng Ling was his master’s doctor. Lu Dong was worried that something might happen to Cheng Ling, therefore he informed Lu Qi about it.

After Lu Qi knew about it, he didn’t sleep at all the night before. After dealing with the company’s matters, he quickly rushed over today.

Fortunately, he arrived in time. And he had also heard what the Cheng family had said.

Cheng Ling saw that Lu Qi’s lips were pale, she knew that he must be tired.

She pursed her lips and stood by the side without saying anything.

Xie Wan and Cheng Ming were about to speak when Lu Qi raised his hand slightly to stop them.

“What compensation do you want?”

Lu Qi’s eyes were cold, but his tone was very good. It was so good that it was a little strange.

Ding Shan thought that Lu Qi was just a paper tiger and sneered.

“We are the Ding family, one of the four big families in the capital. You know that, right?”

“You beat the only grandson of the Ding family. How much do you think you should compensate?”

Ding Shan had lost several hundred thousands in the casino a while ago, and he did not dare to tell Old Master Ding about it. Fortunately, the people in the casino gave him three days to raise money because of his identity.

Just as he was worried about how to plug this loophole, he was informed that Ding Yu had been beaten up by his classmate.

How could he miss this opportunity to extort money?

“I don’t want to make a big deal out of it. How about this? You compensate 100,000 yuan for the medical expenses, including the mental damage fees, the total will be 300,000 yuan.”

Ding Shan said shamelessly.

“After all, the Cheng family is one of the reputable families.” Ding Shan turned to Lu Qi. “I can see that the watch on your hand is worth a lot of money. You should be able to afford 300,000 yuan, right?”

Cheng Ming and Xie Wan were silent at the side. They were in a dilemma.

Lu Qi was quite at ease. When he heard Ding Shan mention his watch, he really took off the watch on his left hand.

Lu Xiu had brought this watch for him when he went on a business trip a few years ago. It was a limited edition watch of a master. Now, the price had probably risen quite a lot. Not to mention 300,000, it couldn’t even be bought for two million.

“Then you take it.”

Lu Qi held the watch band with his index and middle fingers. His fingers looked even fairer with the black watch band.

This hand was really beautiful.

Cheng Ling thought.

Ding Shan didn’t know the worth of the watch, but Cheng Ling was different.

From the ring of diamonds on the dial, it could be seen that this watch was very valuable. How could he just give it to Ding Shan?

Moreover, she had only touched Ding Yu’s acupuncture points and didn’t hurt Ding Yu.

She took a step forward and wanted to stop Lu Qi, but Lu Qi shook his head slightly at her. There was an almost imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth. The moment he looked at Cheng Ling, his eyes flashed with a smile and craftiness.
