Lu Xiu looked left and right. Finally, he found Lu Qi sitting in a rocking chair under a tree with extremely beautiful peach blossoms. A gust of wind blew past, and a few peach blossoms fell onto his body.
Putting everything aside, it was a beautiful scene.
But how could he put everything aside?
Lu Qi rocking a rocking chair under the peach blossom tree, the Lu family’s bodyguards working hard in the fields, and a car full of hoes that he had bought after running around for dozens of minutes...
All of these told Lu Xiu that things had gone off track somewhere.
Moreover, the direction of the road ahead was unknown. He might fall into a cliff after a few more steps!
Lu Xiu walked quickly to Lu Qi with a puzzled look on his face, ignoring the begging for help messages in the eyes of the bodyguards in the fields.
“Lu Qi, is this... shooting the life you yearn for?”
At this moment, Lu Bei walked over with a small round plate made of bamboo. “Young Lord, these are fresh tomatoes that have just been picked. They have been washed clean. Miss Cheng wants you to eat a few so that you won’t catch a cold tonight.”
Lu Qi reached out and took it. He naturally pinched one and put it into his mouth.
“Don’t ask so many questions. Would you like to have one?”
Lu Xiu ran around nervously to buy hoes. He was thirsty and didn’t care whether his hands were dirty or not. He grabbed two or three and wanted to stuff them into his mouth.
Just then, Lu Bei turned back —
“Oh yes, Miss Cheng said that this small tomato costs 1,000 yuan each. She will give you a 15% discount for this plate. It’s 40,000 yuan, pay on the spot.”
After saying that, he ran off, leaving Lu Xiu looking at the three small tomatoes in his hand.
1,000 yuan per tomato?! Even in the most expensive supermarket, this plate was only sold for a few tens of yuan, but here, it was sold for tens of thousands of yuan?!
Lu Xiu was shocked and saw that Lu Qi was eating with relish, stuffing one tomato after another into his mouth.
He lifted one up shakily and placed it under the bright moonlight to admire it carefully.
No, no matter how he admired it, it was just an ordinary small tomato. It was not a diamond or a precious jade, so how could it be sold for 1,000 yuan each?
Although the Lu family did not lack money, even to the extent that they might not be able to use it up in dozens of lifetimes, it did not mean that they had to be slaughtered like a fish on a chopping board!
Wait, Miss Cheng? Which Miss Cheng?
He then looked at the girl who was directing the bodyguards he had painstakingly trained to hoe the fields —
She looked a little familiar.
Wasn’t this the fake daughter Cheng Ling who was despised by the Cheng family?!
The country bumpkin who only knew how to farm?
He took the plate from Lu Qi’s hand. The few little tomatoes left in it spun around.
“What’s going on? You’ve been brainwashed by the MLM organization?”
Lu Qi wasn’t angry. He was just sitting in the rocking chair and rocking slowly. “It’s you who have been brainwashed.”
Lu Xiu said, “If you weren’t brainwashed, why are you eating a thousand yuan little tomato here? Just think about it using your hair would tell you that they’re cheating your money.”
“Also, why are they ploughing the fields? Why are you not doing anything and just sitting here?”
“If I’m not sitting here, do you think I should plough the fields myself?” Lu Qi said lightly. Lu Xiu felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t tell what it was.
“This... did Cheng Ling, the fake daughter of the Cheng family, do something to fool you?”
Lu Xiu had heard a lot of bad things about Cheng Ling at the banquet. Now, in his eyes, Cheng Ling did not project a good image.
Lu Qi snatched the plate back and at the same time took the few left in Lu Xiu’s hand.
“As the person in charge of the Lu family’s external affairs, be more polite with your words. What do you mean by ‘fool’ me? Oh yes, Cheng Ling is my attending physician now. You should be more polite to her in the future.”
“What?!”
These surprise bombs came one after another. At this moment, Lu Xiu’s business elite temperament had been completely destroyed.
“Ah Qi, are you sick? Let’s not talk about how we will be cheated by her. Your health is the most important thing. How can you put it at risk? What if she simply gives you something to eat...”
Lu Xiu remembered the message sent by Lu Dong. “Don’t tell me you really like Miss Cheng and use this method to get close to her?”
“What if you take the medicine and get even more sick? Even if you are more handsome than me, you won’t be able to find a girl, as girls don’t like sick people...”
The more he spoke, the more ridiculous he became. Lu Qi finished the last small tomato and looked up.
Lu Xiu immediately shut up.
Alright, even though Lu Qi was his younger brother, he was still his boss. He still had to soften down when he needed to.
Since he couldn’t find a breakthrough with Lu Qi, Lu Xiu planned to meet this fake daughter.. What kind of beauty could make Lu Qi fall head over heels for her.
