“Seventh Lord.”
Lushen was startled. “Little Jiangjiang, it’s you…” He forced a smile.
“What happened to you?” Chu Yujiang’s questioning gaze swept over the noticeable bruise on his cheekbone.
Lushen’s eyes flickered, and he pointed with a smile. “You mean this? It’s nothing, just bumped into a wall accidentally, and it turned out like this. Maybe I’ve had a streak of bad luck lately, losing money in cards, getting something stuck in my teeth while drinking…” He tried to play it down, but his delivery lacked conviction. Chu Yujiang had spent enough time under Quan Hanting’s thumb to recognize when someone was lying.
Moreover, Chu Yujiang had witnessed Lushen being tossed out like trash by Mingda’s security guards just moments ago.
However, Chu Yujiang didn’t expose the lie. He simply nodded and said, “Sixth Lord is in the car. Do you want to go over and say hello?”
“Don’t… I have something else to do. 1’11 leave first.” Lushen made a quick exit, not wanting to show up in front of the Sixth Lord looking battered and bruised.
Back in the car, Chu Yujiang reported Lushen’s situation. “…Seventh Lord didn’t explain the specifics, but it seems like he got the short end of the stick. Do you want me to…”
What did a company like Minda think they were? They dared to bully the Seventh Lord? Chu Yujiang had intended to take some action to teach them a lesson, but to his surprise, Quan Hanting shook his head and disagreed.
“Let him handle his own affairs. If he needs help, he’ll ask for it himself.”
Chu Yujiang nodded, about to fasten his seatbelt.
Quan Hanting added, “Take him to the hospital for treatment.”
“Huh?”
“Leave the car.”
It wasn’t until Chu Yujiang caught up with Lushen and got him into a taxi that his mind started to clear. He still did what needed to be done methodically. “Driver, please take us to the nearest clinic.”
“Why would I go to a clinic? I’m not going!” Lushen, who had been dragged into the car against his will, now voiced his protest, clearly showing his displeasure.
Chu Yujiang handed his phone over. “If you can convince Sixth Lord to rescind his order, then you don’t have to go.”
Huh!
“Sixth Brother told you to take me to the hospital?!”
Chu Yujiang nodded in good spirits.
Lushen looked puzzled. Wait a minute… When did Sixth Brother ever care about his well-being? When he used to come to Ning City for underground racing, even if he broke a leg, he would go to the hospital himself. Quan Hanting would visit his hospital room only the next day, not even bothering to bring fruit. He would sit there for less than two minutes, utter the word “useless,” and leave. Why was he sending his trusted aide, Chu Yujiang, to take him now when his face was just a little bruised?
“This…” Lushen cleared his throat and cautiously asked, “Is my Sixth Brother doing fine these days?”
“He should be.”
“Well, that’s strange. I’ve never seen him care about me like this before. Also, you have a car, so why are we taking a taxi?”
This time, Chu Yujiang, with a peculiar expression, replied, “…Sixth Lord said he needed it.”
“What does he need it for?”
“…I don’t know.”
Meanwhile, outside Mingda, Shen Wan walked away, deep in thought, holding the “Ares Tears” in her hand.
Based on her understanding of Shen Qian, the way things had developed today was completely out of character for him in every way!
First, the fact that he had clashed with Lushen was already unbelievable.
Secondly, his insistence on giving her the bracelet was highly questionable!
Shen Wan couldn’t believe that he had genuinely given it to her because he “wanted to”. As the saying goes, old habits die hard, and even with the passage of two lifetimes, it was difficult to change one’s fundamental nature. For example, Shen Qian’s selfish and ruthless nature….
