Chapter 83: This is... the Phantom of Koenigsegg!
She was surprised by where Lu Ming appeared.?According to the address, shouldn’t he be in the No. 1 Residence next door? Why is he in No. 3 Residence now?
Lu Ming also wanted to ask why Song Xueran suddenly came here. When he saw the light blue luxury car behind her, he understood.
So the car had arrived.
It was really timely.
“I came here to chat with a friend.”
He hoped that Song Xueran would not say anything unnecessary.
Fortunately, Song Xueran was very efficient. She quickly sensed that the atmosphere was not right and asked tentatively, “Mr. Lu, should the car be parked at the entrance or in the parking lot?”
Lu Ming was frantically thinking of excuses.
Chu Jinyu stared at the blue luxury car at the entrance and took a deep breath. “A limited edition Koenigsegg ghost sports car?”
The reason why Chu Jinyu could recognize it was because she had wanted to buy one previously. However, the price was too high and it was a limited edition, which meant she had to wait for a long time. So she chose another car finally.
She still remembered that the total price was more than 30 million yuan. Ordinary rich people could not afford it.
She looked at Lu Ming suspiciously. He had just graduated from university not long ago. How could he have such a good car?
She was very clear about Lu Ming’s family. His biological father, Lu Yaohua, had abandoned his wife and son, and they never had a good life.?Where did he get the money to buy such an expensive thing?
She thought about the woman at the door and wondered if she had come to the wrong place.
However, the ‘Mr. Lu’ that she was addressing had to be Lu Ming. Could he have bought it with a loan?
No, no, no. 30 million yuan is not a small sum. Even loans require collaterals or guarantees of the same value. Moreover, Lu Ming is not such an irrational person.
What is going on?
Is it a coincidence that they have the same surname?
Puzzled, she asked, “Are you really looking for him? He is Lu Ming.”
Song Xueran was stunned for half a second before she met Lu Ming’s cryptic gaze.?What is he asking me to say? Is he admitting it?
So she answered, “I didn’t find the wrong person. It’s Lu Ming, Mr. Lu.”
How could I not recognize my own boss?
Chu Jinyu’s expression started to look suspicious. She eliminated another guess. The person the other party was looking for was her childhood friend. Now, there was only one left…
Lu Ming held his forehead. His eyes were twitching.?Why did she come up with this answer?
He thought that he might as well tell the truth. He was about to tell the truth when Chu Jinyu spoke first. “I understand.”
???
Lu Ming’s face was full of question marks. He had not thought about it but he wondered what Chu Jinyu understood.
He asked uncertainly, “What do you understand?”
“Your boss must have lent you this car, right?”
Chu Jinyu looked at him.
She had even thought of the whole story. Because Lu Ming had a good relationship with the boss, the boss lent him his car.
It was Song Xueran’s turn to be dumbfounded.?Isn’t Lu Ming the boss himself??she thought.
He is borrowing his own car to drive. What kind of tactic is that?
Seeing this, Lu Ming hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, yes. That’s how it is. I only drive this car occasionally. No wonder the boss was asking about my whereabouts. So it’s to send the car over. Hahaha.”
This instantly made Chu Jinyu feel that she was smart.
Song Xueran thought to herself, Although I don’t know why my boss is hiding his identity, compared to the real answer, it’s worlds apart.
“Don’t you think so, Secretary Song?”
Song Xueran was caught off guard. She came back to her senses in time and smiled. “Yes, this car is… Uh… Boss. He lent it to Mr. Lu. He also asked me to pass on a message: Don’t scratch his car.”
Alright, whatever the boss says. I am just an employee anyway.
Lu Ming nodded in satisfaction. “Alright, I understand. You can go back.”
“Then I’ll get going first.”
Song Xueran turned around and left without hesitation. She thought to herself,?The boss is really strange. If anyone else has such an identity, he’d probably let the whole world know who he is. But Lu Ming seems to want to hide this fact.
Lu Ming heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Let’s go for a ride. How about that?”
He should be thankful that Han Qianjing was not around. Otherwise, with her scary observation skills, she would have immediately seen through their poor acting skills.
“Okay.”
Chu Jinyu had sat in many luxury cars before, but for some reason, she was a little excited this time.
She glanced at the man beside her from time to time. His side profile as he drove seriously fascinated her, and for a moment, she was lost in thought.
Soon they arrived at the Huangpu River.
The surface of the water reflected the blue sky and white clouds, as well as the tall buildings. The river seemed to stretch endlessly. There were a few small boats on the water, looking like fallen leaves in autumn. There were not many people around at this time. The light wind brought with it the unique aura of the river, evoking a sense of freedom.
There happened to be a new Peninsula Cafe in Bund.
Lu Ming opened the glass door and the pleasant tinkling of the wind chime in the upper left corner could be heard. He turned around and saw Chu Jinyu behind him. He said, “Why are you standing there?”
She blinked as if she had awakened from a dream. “Nothing.”
Indeed, every time she got closer to Lu Ming, the emotions that she had suppressed for so many years would erupt like a volcano.
Lu Ming looked at the waiter and said, “A cup of peninsula coffee. Little Yu, what do you want?”
When he used this nickname, Chu Jinyu’s heart skipped a beat. She smiled and said, “I want a cappuccino.”
The waiter thought that she was a cold beauty, but he did not expect her smile to be so beautiful. After being stunned for half a second, he sighed. “The pairing of a handsome man and a beautiful woman is really striking.”
“Alright, please wait a moment.”
They found a seat by the window and sat down.
Chu Jinyu propped her chin and said, “The scenery here is really nice.”
“Shanghai’s unique scenery,” Lu Ming answered calmly. Then he seemed to have thought of something. “But the scenery in Beijing is not bad.”
“It’s not bad.”
But you are not there, Brother Lu Ming.
Although she was screaming in her heart, Chu Jinyu was ultimately too embarrassed to say this out loud.
For the past six years, Chu Jinyu had been living in the bustling capital and was more or less tired of it. In addition, she was not a person who liked crowds.
It was her childhood with Lu Ming that made her desire to return to Shanghai grow stronger over time.
“I don’t like it there. I’d rather be in Shanghai.”
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “Then stay here.”
‘Then stay here.’
His short sentence almost made Chu Jinyu’s eyes turn red. She was smiling but her eyes were teary. She said, “… Okay.”
Just then two cups of coffee were served. She took a sip of her cappuccino. Unsurprisingly, the sweet scent of milk washed over her taste buds. “It tastes good.”
“Mine is very good too.”
Lu Ming thought the coffee tasted fresh, sweet, and full-bodied..
