The old man was quite boastful, claiming right off the bat that they'd win the championship.
The little boy's grandmother shot the old man a glare. "Are you stupid? Do you think the son and daughter - in - law are angry because of money?"
"It's because the fault isn't ours! The waitress was partial to that blonde girl. Those two clearly have an improper relationship!"
Hearing the little boy's mother unable to win the argument and instead start spreading baseless rumors, Xu Qingqing disliked this family even more. She voluntarily spoke up for the blonde girl.
"Spreading bad - mouthing behind others' backs is no skill. If you're brave enough, go after her and say it to her face."
The little boy's mother followed the voice and looked at the beautiful Xu Qingqing. She thought Xu Qingqing was meddling and her face turned ugly.
"What's it to you? My mouth is on me. I can say whatever and wherever I want!"
Xu Qingqing's beautiful peach - blossom eyes swept over her coldly and indifferently, with a faint hint of sarcasm on her lips.
"I'd advise you to say it in the toilet. After all, the words you say are as dirty as the stuff in there."
Hearing Xu Qingqing say this, the woman blushed with anger. She rushed in front of Xu Qingqing, wanting to teach her a lesson.
"How dare you talk to me like this..."
Before the woman could reach her, Lu Chuanbai had already stepped in front of Xu Qingqing, staring at the woman with a sharp look in his eyes.
The woman's raised hand was stopped by Lu Chuanbai's cold aura. Various thoughts flashed through her mind.
This man clearly looked noble and extraordinary, not an ordinary person. If she couldn't afford to provoke him, couldn't she just avoid him?
Thinking this, the woman angrily put down her hand. She gave Xu Qingqing a cold look and let out a snort. Then, with a flash in her eyes, she quickly turned back, muttering obscenities under her breath. "Hiding behind a man is no big deal. If you're brave enough, fight me face - to - face!"
After saying this, the woman didn't forget to turn and look at Lu Chuanbai. Finding Lu Chuanbai's cold gaze still on her, she was so scared that she hid behind her husband.
The husband's rising anger was now directed at Lu Chuanbai. He shouted at the top of his lungs.
"What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll gouge out your eyes!"
Hearing her husband talk to Lu Chuanbai like this, the little boy's mother secretly pinched her husband's waist, telling him not to be so rude.
"Don't make him angry. What if he's a rich man?"
The man put on a show of bravado and turned to his wife. "Real rich people travel abroad. Do you think he'd come to Penglang Island to play?"
Hearing the man's words, Xu Qingqing couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. If the man knew that Penglang Island belonged to Lu Chuanbai's family, he'd probably regret slapping himself twice.
Lu Chuanbai had set the price of traveling to the island very low so that more people could have a good time. He never expected that the little boy's father would think of it as a place for poor people to travel.
Lu Chuanbai's gaze became even sharper, filled with a thick layer of frost. The little boy's father felt a bit scared, but he still pretended to be tough and stood in front of Lu Chuanbai.
"What are you looking at!"
Xu Qingqing didn't want to have a conflict with others on the first day of their trip. To avoid bad luck, she gently pulled Lu Chuanbai's arm and shook her head at him.
"Let's just ignore such people. The boat is almost at the island. Let's go get our luggage."
For Xu Qingqing's sake, Lu Chuanbai restrained his expression. The coldness between his eyebrows faded a bit. He protected Xu Qingqing and the two children and left the sun - bathing and leisure area.
Xu Qingqing and the others pulled their luggage and stood at the exit of the boat, looking at the approaching island with a sense of relaxation.
Thanks to the suitable climate, the plants on the island grew extremely lush. There were dense forests.
On the beach, there were countless coconut trees. Their leaves swayed gently in the breeze, making people feel extremely comfortable.
"Wow, we're finally here!"
Xu Yiyi and Xu An'an were wearing sunglasses with sunflower patterns and colorful shirts. They shouted loudly at the sea.
The two childish voices were carried by the sea breeze to the sea level.
"Here we come, sea!"
"Island! I'm here! I'm going to eat a lot of coconuts!"
Two or three minutes later, the boat finally docked.
Lu Chuanbai took out his phone and contacted the tour guide who was supposed to pick them up on the island.
The tour guide on the other end of the phone answered almost instantly. From the voice, it was a young woman. "Hello. Are you Mr. Lu?"
"Yes, we've already arrived at the island. Where are you?"
Lu Chuanbai nodded and looked around at the people on the phone. But there were quite a few people on the island traveling and on the phone.
Lu Chuanbai couldn't find the tour guide for a moment. The tour guide on the other end of the phone realized this and continued, "I have dyed yellow hair. It's very eye - catching in the crowd. Can you see me?"
Hearing it was a person with dyed yellow hair, Lu Chuanbai thought of the blonde girl who had quarreled with the brat's family just now.
Lu Chuanbai subconsciously turned around and looked at the blonde girl who had just got off the boat. The girl was only holding a black parasol and didn't carry a lot of luggage like others.
She was also on the phone. Lu Chuanbai's phoenix eyes fell on the blonde girl. He said tentatively, "I think I can see you. Can you wave your hand?"
Hearing this, the blonde girl immediately waved her hand.
Lu Chuanbai was sure that the blonde girl was their tour guide. He pulled the mother and the two children, who were taking pictures, over.
"Okay, stop taking pictures. I've found the tour guide."
"Where's the tour guide?"
Xu Qingqing put away her phone and tightened the string of her sun hat. Her gaze fell on the place where Lu Chuanbai pointed.
She found that their tour guide was the one who had stopped the brat on the boat.
"I didn't expect the world to be so small. Our tour guide is that blonde girl."
Xu Qingqing let out a sigh of surprise. Her beautiful peach - blossom eyes sparkled with a bit of joy.
Xu Qingqing really liked this brave and straightforward blonde girl. She waved at her enthusiastically.
"Miss, we're here."
The blonde girl was surprised to find that the Mr. Lu she was supposed to receive was actually Lu Chuanbai from the same boat. But the surprise quickly faded. She hung up the phone and walked over with a smile.
"I didn't expect you to be Mr. and Mrs. Lu."
The blonde girl only had Lu Chuanbai's phone number and had never seen his photo. She had made an appointment with Lu Chuanbai to call when they arrived.
"Yes, it's us." Lu Chuanbai nodded slightly.
The blonde girl was observant. She took the suitcase from Xu Qingqing's hand. She was wearing a bright yellow crop - top, showing a section of her strong and tanned waist.
"My name is Zhu Lulu. Now I'll take you to the first stop of the tour, the Pearl Contest on Penglang Island."
Zhu Lulu led the way in front and took Xu Qingqing and the others onto the sightseeing car with no side walls parked at the port.
Zhu Lulu helped Lu Chuanbai put the luggage on the car, taught the two children how to fasten their seat - belts, and then drove steadily towards the Pearl Contest.
