Chapter 272
Senior Official Lu laughed heartily. He lowered his head and kissed Su Qing 'er's cheek gently. Then, he said with a smile, "How can Qing' er disregard our old friendship? I can't wait to open my eyes! "
When Su Qing 'er saw that Shi Fengming refused to leave, the pity in her heart quickly turned into impatience and resentment. If he wasn't incompetent and couldn't protect her from Shi Fengju, she wouldn't have made such a plan! Now that she had already found a way out, why was he still pestering her? What did he want? Go back with him? What a joke! If she went back with him, she would still be chased out! Since he couldn't protect her, why did he have to pretend to be a saint of love and make her feel disgusted?
Su Qing 'er's eyes flickered. She raised her eyebrows and smiled charmingly at Senior Official Lu. She gently pressed her fair palm against Senior Official Lu's chest and took advantage of the situation to stand up. Then, she leisurely walked toward Shi Fengming.
"Qing 'er!" Shi Fengming was overjoyed and his eyes flickered brightly.
However, in the next second, there was a crisp slap as Su Qing 'er gave him a ruthless slap on his cheek. The burning pain instantly assaulted him. Shi Fengming was stunned and said in disbelief, "Qing 'er!"
Senior Official Lu slapped the table and laughed heartily. "Good job, Qing 'er! You're so shrewish. I like your character! "
Upon seeing this, the servants also laughed and joined in the fun. They looked at Shi Fengming as if they were looking at a monkey who was playing tricks and amusing people.
After the slap, Su Qing 'er looked at Shi Fengming's shocked, painful, and incredulous expression. Suddenly, a great sense of pleasure and revenge surged in her heart. Did he know how hard it had been for her during those few days when he had been enjoying life in the manor? Did he care about her at all? Did he take the initiative to look for her?
Now that she had found a new way out, he had jumped out. Was he deliberately not giving her a good life?
Su Qing 'er bit her lip and sneered. She raised her hand to slap her again, but someone caught her hand in mid-air and held her hand tightly. Su Qing 'er was in so much pain that she frowned. She raised her eyes and glared at Shi Fengju angrily. When she saw his icy gaze and frosty expression, her heart couldn't help but tremble. She turned to look pitifully at Minister Lu for help.
Shi Fengming only felt that the woman in front of him was so unfamiliar that he could not believe that she was the delicate woman who had lived with him for hundreds of days and nights. What else did he not understand? She was controlled by her brother and would rather turn to that disgusting man for help than look at him!
Shi Fengming turned around and rushed out. Chang Huan exclaimed, "Second Young Master!" She hurriedly followed him.
Shi Fengju pushed Su Qing 'er hard, causing her to stumble and fall to the ground. She looked up at Shi Fengju with indescribable hatred in her eyes.
"Minister!" Tears welled up in Su Qing 'er's eyes.
Minister Lu didn't look at her, but hurriedly got up and went forward. He cupped his hands and smiled at Shi Fengju. "Why is Young Master Shi here? Ha ha! What a coincidence! "
"Minister Lu!" Shi Fengju cupped his hands and greeted him with a smile. He glanced at Su Qing 'er and said with a smile, "My younger brother is insensible and has offended Minister Lu. Please be magnanimous and don't lower yourself to his level!"
High Official Lu was startled and hastily said, "Just now, that young master is, is …" High Official Lu was full of regret. Rubbing his hands together, he said with a smile, "This is really a case of the flood rushing against the Dragon King's temple. Young Master Shi, please don't blame me! "
"What are you talking about?" Shi Fengju smiled and said, "My younger brother is young and insensible. He was rude first. How can you blame me? Minister Lu, please go ahead. I'll take my leave first! "
"Okay, okay!" Minister Lu smiled. "Let's meet again another day. Young Master, please!" He originally wanted to say that he would return Su Qing 'er to Shi Fengju, but it seemed that Shi Fengju was eager for his brother to be separated from Su Qing' er. Thus, he tactfully didn't say anything.
Official Lu personally sent Shi Fengju out of the private room. After seeing him leave, he turned around and went back inside.
Su Qing 'er was secretly shocked. She hadn't expected Shi Fengju and Minister Lu to know each other. This didn't seem good for her. She had already gotten up from the ground. Her clothes were a little wrinkled and messy, and her hair was a little loose. When she saw Minister Lu, she endured the humiliation and called out in a low voice, "Minister Lu."
Minister Lu had been in the brothel for more than 20 years and had seen many prostitutes. When he saw that Shi Fengju didn't care about Su Qing 'er's appearance, he didn't have any scruples. It was rare for him to find a woman who was good in every aspect. If he didn't enjoy her, he would be letting himself down.
Senior Official Lu chuckled and waved his hand to dismiss the servants. He then carried Su Qing 'er and placed her on his lap. He caressed her frightened face and said softly, "Were you frightened just now, huh?"
When Su Qing 'er saw that he was still on her side, she was overjoyed. Panic flashed across her eyes. She hurriedly shook her head with a smile and said in a good-tempered manner, "I'm fine. It's just that Shi Fengju is a narrow-minded person. I was rude today. If he holds a grudge and does something to harm you, wouldn't I have harmed you …"
Minister Lu laughed heartily and caressed her face as he said with a smile, "Darling, you're really sensible and tactful! I didn't dote on you in vain! Don't worry! The Shi family has a lot of business dealings with the Lu family. Shi Fengju isn't that stupid! "
"It's because of this that I feel uneasy!" Su Qing 'er sighed and said, "If he holds a grudge and does something to harm you, wouldn't that be … Sigh! Just pretend that I didn't say anything. It's not the first time you've been in the business world. How can you not know? "
Minister Lu chuckled and said, "That's right! You shouldn't be worried about this. Don't let your imagination run wild! Hehe, in any case, it won't be short of your share of benefits! Qing 'er, come, let's have another drink. Don't let these trivial matters spoil our mood! "
Su Qing 'er naturally wanted to use Minister Lu to take revenge on the Shi family. However, when she saw that Minister Lu was disinterested and unwilling to talk about this matter again, she smiled sweetly and stopped the topic. She started to talk about romance with him. She secretly thought that there would be plenty of time in the future.
However, she didn't know that she was just a pet in Minister Lu's eyes. Minister Lu had long seen that she was nothing in Shi Fengju's eyes! How could Shi Fengju incur enmity with Minister Lu because of her? Minister Lu also didn't believe that Shi Fengju would be so irrational. If Shi Fengju really wanted to take revenge, he would have returned her to him with both hands. There were so many women in the world. Was there a need to worry about not having enough?
Shi Fengming ran all the way out of the restaurant and stopped after running for a long time. He punched a willow tree on the shore of West Lake hatefully.
Although the pain on his face wasn't as scorching as before, it still pierced his heart. He suddenly felt as if he had been dreaming for the entire day, and everything seemed to be in a blur.
When his eldest brother let him out of the room in the morning, he was in a trance when he saw the familiar air outside that he hadn't seen for a long time. He was also in a trance after everything that had happened just now.
"Let's go back!" A hand patted his shoulder.
Shi Fengming dodged in disgust. Without turning his head, he said coldly, "Go away. I don't want to see you!"
"This day would have come sooner or later," Shi Fengju said indifferently. "I just brought it forward!" As he spoke, he explained the simple process of how he had designed it.
Shi Fengming was in a fit of anger. Hearing that he dared to talk about such cruel "glorious deeds" in front of him, he was so angry that sparks flew everywhere. He shouted angrily, "Enough! I knew it was you. I knew it must be you! If you hadn't forced Qing 'er, she wouldn't have become like this! It's all your fault, Shi Fengju. How dare you say it in front of me! "
Shi Fengju was also angry. He sneered, "If she didn't mean it, how could she have become like this? Did I forcefully tie her up and send her to Minister Lu? She kept saying that she wanted you to take her home. What do you think she wanted? If she really only cared about you, why didn't she want to go far away with you? Think carefully. Once you've spent all the money on you, how can she stay by your side? Stupid! "
Shi Fengming's lips moved. He wanted to refute, but he found that he couldn't refute at all! His mind was blank. He stared at the lake in front of him in a daze. He only felt that the jumping silver light was dazzling his eyes.
Shi Fengju didn't have the mood to continue talking to him. He flicked his sleeves and said coldly to Chang Huan, "Follow Second Young Master well. If he doesn't want to go back, tie him up and bring him back!" After saying that, he turned and left.
Shi Fengming was stunned. He snorted and turned his head away without saying anything.
It wasn't until evening that Shi Fengming returned to the villa accompanied by Chang Huan. Shi Fengju and Sang Wan had just finished dinner. When they heard the housekeeper's report, Shi Fengju subconsciously raised his foot to welcome them. However, he stopped abruptly and said coldly, "If he's back, then let him go. Take him down and settle him down! What's so important that he has to specially report it? "
The housekeeper was stunned and looked awkwardly at Sang Wan.
Sang Wan also found it funny and shook her head. She smiled and said, "Second Young Master is back. It seems that he has thought things through. This is a good thing! In two days, we'll set off for home together. We can also give Second Uncle and Second Aunt an explanation! It's better to invite him in and say a few words! "
Shi Fengju didn't say anything. Sang Wan said to the housekeeper, "What are you waiting for? Quickly bring Second Young Master in! "
"Uh, yes, yes!" The housekeeper hurriedly agreed and turned to leave.
A moment later, Shi Fengming followed in. His expression was calm and he even knew to go forward and greet them. "Eldest Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law!"
"You're willing to come back? I thought that you would only be willing to come back if Chang Huan tied you up with a rope! "Shi Fengju said unhappily.
Sang Wan pushed him and said with a smile, "Second Young Master, please take a seat. You haven't eaten dinner yet, right? I'll have the kitchen prepare the food. "
"There's no need, Eldest Sister-in-law!" Shi Fengming was a little dispirited. He sat down absent-mindedly and said, "I'm not hungry. I don't want to eat anything!"
Seeing him like this, Sang Wan knew that he must be sad, so she didn't say anything else.
She heard Shi Fengming say, "I wonder if Eldest Brother still has any unfinished business here? If not, let's set off for Qingzhou as soon as possible! I haven't seen Father and Mother for a long time. I also miss them. "
"You still know how to miss them!" Shi Fengju snorted. When he saw Sang Wan's gentle gaze looking at him, he forcibly stopped himself from ridiculing him. He nodded and said, "There's nothing else on my side. Let's set off in two days!"
"Okay." Shi Fengming nodded and said, "There's something I want to ask Eldest Brother for help with. Eldest Brother, please help me!"
