Lu Chuanbai's hand that was tapping on the table suddenly stopped. He saw the new question Xu Qingqing had just sent. He supported his forehead, feeling a bit headache but also finding it interesting.
Sure enough, she was Qingqing. Her alertness was truly sharp.
But Lu Qi didn't think so. He grabbed his hair frantically. "Please, big brother. What if she asks me tomorrow?"
"Aren't you good at making up stories? Just make something up," Lu Chuanbai said casually.
"Just listen to yourself. Do you think you can deceive her like that?" Lu Qi said speechlessly.
Xu Qingqing hung up the phone. Her eyes were dark as she continued to send a message to Mr. Bai.
Xu Qingqing: Mr. Bai, I feel like I've known you for ages. Can we have a phone call?
She didn't believe that Lu Chuanbai had two phones to avoid her!
Sure enough, Lu Chuanbai's phone was also busy.
Lu Chuanbai pursed his lips and looked at the incoming call reminder from Xu Qingqing. He hung up the call with Lu Qi and wanted to answer Xu Qingqing's call, but she had already hung up.
"Hey! You haven't told me how to explain it to Xu Qingqing yet!" Lu Qi shouted at the hung - up phone, extremely depressed.
Who did he provoke? Why did he have to be involved in this couple's affairs!
Lu Chuanbai turned his phone over on the table. His lips were tightly pursed, and his sword - shaped eyebrows were knitted.
This had gone too far. She had found out. How could he explain it to Xu Qingqing?
Lu Chuanbai didn't answer the phone. He must have been on the phone with Lu Qi, asking for an answer.
Xu Qingqing snorted.
Since he wanted to throw money away, she would let Lu Chuanbai do it to his heart's content!
Xu Qingqing called Lu Qi again, and this time the call was answered.
Xu Qingqing got straight to the point without any beating around the bush. "Lu Qi, is Mr. Bai's real identity Lu Chuanbai?"
Lu Qi knew that Xu Qingqing was calling for this question. He still wanted to struggle. "Qingqing, what are you talking about? How could Mr. Bai be Lu Chuanbai?"
"I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to sleep."
Lu Qi yawned, thinking secretly about where to hide for a few days until they sorted out their problems.
"You dare!" Xu Qingqing's voice was cold. Lu Qi had never heard Xu Qingqing speak in such an angry tone.
"If you go to sleep without explaining clearly, I'll jump ship tomorrow. Boss Qian from the opposite shop has tried to recruit me several times!"
"Don't blame me for being heartless then!"
"Don't!" As soon as he heard that Xu Qingqing was leaving, Lu Qi immediately broke down.
He could clearly tell the difference between a single meal and a lifetime of meals.
"Don't be too angry. Chuanbai did this out of good intentions," Lu Qi said with a laugh.
"Humph! No wonder you took the money so neatly. Lu Chuanbai really had a good plan, making a fool out of me," Xu Qingqing clenched her fists. Her long eyelashes drooped, hiding the gloom in her eyes.
Hearing the coldness and anger in Xu Qingqing's voice, Lu Qi couldn't help but feel worried for Lu Chuanbai. He said awkwardly, "Qingqing, don't tell him it was me who said it."
It wasn't fun to be held grudges against by Lu Chuanbai.
"Don't worry, boss. I won't expose him."
Xu Qingqing grabbed a ball - point pen from the pen holder and clicked it up and down.
"The next time Mr. Bai sends a vase, raise the price to 10 million each. Got it?" Xu Qingqing said coldly.
"Ten million each?" Lu Qi gasped. She was even more ruthless than him.
"Yes. No bargaining. It's up to him whether he wants to do business or not."
After saying that, Xu Qingqing hung up the phone.
If he wanted to play with people, then she would play a big game!
Lu Chuanbai searched for a long time but couldn't find a suitable excuse. He called Lu Qi again. Lu Qi, who was drowsy and about to fall asleep, was woken up again.
When Lu Qi saw that it was Lu Chuanbai calling, he said impatiently, "I said, you two in - laws, do you still let people sleep? I'm really sleepy!"
"What did Qingqing say to you?" Lu Chuanbai asked eagerly.
"What else could she say? She raised your price," Lu Qi rubbed the tears in his eyes caused by sleepiness.
"Raise the price?" Lu Chuanbai asked in surprise.
"Yes. Qingqing said that Mr. Bai was rich, so from now on, the price of each vase would be raised to 10 million."
Lu Chuanbai hooked his lips into a smile. This girl must have recognized his identity and was just saying angry words.
"I think you'd better apologize to Qingqing quickly. Admit your crime early. This is deception," Lu Qi described Lu Chuanbai as if he were a heinous criminal.
Lu Chuanbai propped his chin with one hand. Wearing a pair of gold - rimmed glasses, he looked noble and elegant. "I'll ask Lao Huang to send the broken vases for repair tomorrow. Ten million is ten million. As long as she accepts the money."
"Big brother, that's tens of millions!" Lu Qi couldn't understand Lu Chuanbai's thinking anymore.
Lu Chuanbai said domineeringly, "As long as she wants it, I can give her the entire Lu family."
"..." Lu Qi was speechless. He snorted. "Does your father know that you're so generous?"
Love really made people lose their minds. It was really hard to understand.
"Alright, you can play slowly. I'm going to sleep."
The next day, Xu Qingqing sent the two kids to school as usual. She ran into Liang Mengsong sending Liang Qiutong to school again.
"Good morning, Miss Xu. Good morning, Yiyi and An'an," Liang Mengsong greeted Xu Qingqing warmly when he saw her.
Considering the relationship between the two kids, Xu Qingqing couldn't ignore him. She nodded slightly. "Good morning, Qiutong, Mr. Liang."
Su Xiaoyue was already waiting for Xu Qingqing at the school gate. When she saw Xu Qingqing coming, she walked forward, nodded at Liang Mengsong, and looked at Xu Qingqing coldly.
"Miss Xu, can we talk over there?"
Xu Qingqing raised her eyebrows. "Teacher Su, can't you say it here?"
Su Xiaoyue sneered. What a good act of innocence.
She originally wanted to take Xu Qingqing to a less crowded place to save her face. Since she didn't want it, then so be it!
"Miss Xu, why did you complain about me? Just because I kindly said a few more words, you complained about me!"
"Miss Xu, don't you think your behavior is too low - class? If you don't want me to take care of your kids, I can stop. But you don't have to stab me in the back!"
Facing Su Xiaoyue's violent verbal attack, Xu Qingqing was stunned. She hadn't done anything. How could she be the one stabbing someone in the back!
"Teacher Su, I didn't complain about you..."
"You still don't admit it. Then what is this!"
Su Xiaoyue directly showed Xu Qingqing the complaint on her phone.
Xu Qingqing took a closer look. It was an anonymous negative review list.
Xu Qingqing narrowed her eyes and coldly retorted, "There's no name on it. How can you be so sure that it was me who complained about you!"
"Getting nervous, aren't you!" Su Xiaoyue looked down at Xu Qingqing. "Because I didn't let Yiyi and An'an eat grilled sausages yesterday, you got angry!"
"But I don't have to complain about you either!" Xu Qingqing got angry.
Accusing her without evidence. Did she really think she was easy to bully!
"The principal can see the real identity of the anonymous person. Let's go to the principal and see if it was you who complained!"
Seeing that Xu Qingqing didn't admit it, Su Xiaoyue pulled her towards the kindergarten. Her long, pointed fingernails dug into the flesh of Xu Qingqing's arm, causing a sharp pain.
