Lu Qi casually raised his right hand. The silver ring on his index finger gleamed in the light. Cheng Ling was stunned for a moment.
Lu Dong and Lu Xi had followed Lu Qi for so many years. They immediately understood and grabbed Chen Jin’s hand even harder.
“Well, wait a minute.”
The men looked at Cheng Ling who was standing to the side at the same time.
Other than Chen Jin who felt lucky, the others were all puzzled.
“Miss, please help me plead for mercy!”Chen Jin knelt in the direction of Cheng Ling.
Lu Qi also looked at Cheng Ling, as if he was also looking forward to what this fake daughter of the Cheng family wanted to say. If she was pleading for mercy, then there would be someone to deal with next.
“Can you not do it here?”Both of Cheng Ling’s hands were preoccupied, so she used her chin to point at a place three meters away from them. She hadn’t had the time to cultivate that place yet, so they could do whatever they wanted. “You guys go over there. You’re blocking my farming here.”
Chen Jin:”...”
As expected, they made a mistake! !
Lu Qi looked at the shovel and hoe in Cheng Ling’s hands and suddenly lowered his head and smiled. This smile was different from the gentle smile just now. Cheng Ling could see the corners of Lu Qi’s mouth curving up, and even his eyes were smiling.
“Is that why you came? Did We stop you from gardening ?”
“Not only that... you even stepped on my little tomatoes. Just now –“Cheng Ling raised her hand and pointed at Lu Xi. “He even broke off the branches of my peach blossom.”
Lu Xi, who was suddenly pointed at, started to panic inexplicably.
What was going on? Back then, he had never been afraid of facing more than a dozen Mafia men alone! Now that he was being pointed at by a little girl, he actually panicked!
Cheng Ling’s next sentence made everyone’s jaws drop.
“You have to pay.”
...
Pay for what? !
“You stepped on three of my little tomatoes and broke off a peach blossom branch. There were four peach blossoms and a flower bud on it.”
...
Even Chen Jin, who was about to die, felt that this scene was even more shocking than asking him to die.
Cheng Ling might not know that Lu Qi was the person in charge of the Lu family, but she definitely knew that Lu Qi was a member of the Lu family! She was a fake daughter who was despised by the Cheng family, yet she dared to claim compensation from Lu Qi for these rotten tomatoes?
Most importantly, Cheng Ling looked sincere and serious!
Lu Dong couldn’t take it anymore. Although this girl was quite cute, he couldn’t tolerate her bullying his boss like this!
“What are you talking about –”
Lu Qi shook his head slightly and stopped Lu Dong. He lowered his head and looked at the land carefully. The plants in the land were all ordinary plants. There should be medicinal herbs planted on the other side of the land. If he took a careful sniff, he could smell a faint fragrance.
He was ill. Over the past few years, he had looked for all kinds of authoritative doctors and tried all kinds of medicine, but they were still unable to cure him. Even now, he is still taking medication in order to prolong his life.
At first, he thought that the fragrance of the medicinal herbs was an illusion. Now that he had calmed down and smelled it carefully, he could actually smell it. Moreover, the quality of these medicinal herbs was very good.
It was even better than the medicine that he had gotten from the best private doctor in the capital. It was really puzzling that such high-quality medicinal herbs appeared in such an ordinary place.
Lu Qi looked up and carefully sized up Cheng Ling. She was squatting on the ground, using her fair fingers to gently fiddle with the plants that had just been messed up. Her pink lips pouted slightly, and she looked very serious.
“No problem. Miss Cheng, just give me the bill directly. I’ll definitely compensate you at the original price.”
The voice came from beside her ear. Cheng Ling turned her head in surprise and saw Lu Qi squatting down like her. His gaze also landed on the land that she had carefully planted.
She lowered her head and saw that the hem of Lu Qi’s windbreaker was stained with soil.
“Your clothes are dirty.”
Lu Qi tilted his head and looked at her. “It’s alright.”
“... OH.”
What was with this sudden warm atmosphere? !
Where was the ruthless and powerful young master Lu Qi? ! Where did he go? !
Cheng Ling stood up and patted the soil on her hands. “Since the matter has been settled, please move away, Mr. Lu. I’m going to farm.”
From the glance at the banquet and the interaction with Lu Qi, Cheng Ling could feel that Lu Qi was not an ordinary person. She only wanted to farm her land peacefully and did not want to provoke him.
She looked up at the sky. There should be a heavy rain tonight. She had better hurry to pick up all these small tomatoes and put them away.
So, was this an expulsion order?
