Chapter 23
With a pause, Lu Haiqiao’s thoughts shifted away from the coffee and back to the main topic. She said, “Since you’re here, help me investigate something. It’s…”
“I’ve just landed, and you’re already ordering me to work. Baby Haiqiao, you’ve changed, you weren’t like this before!” Lu Xuege complained with dissatisfaction.
Lu Haiqiao abruptly halted in her tracks, took another sip through the straw, and then said in an indifferent tone, “Or maybe I should send you back to heaven?”
Lu Xuege’s face changed drastically.
The girl he was talking to was not only his little cousin but also the apple of their grandfather’s eye.
She could make their grandfather release him or send him back to Buddhist Hall with just one sentence.
Thinking about the past week of penance without a phone or a computer. Even his meals were vegetarian without any meat dishes.
Lu Xuege felt a shiver down his spine thinking about those days.
Oh my ancestor, I can’t afford to provoke her!
Quickly suppressing his dissatisfaction, he put on a playful smile and said, “You… Aiyo, look at you! I haven’t finished speaking. What I meant was Baby Haiqiao has changed, becoming gentler, more considerate, and more understanding than before!”
“Why are you so considerate? You know I just landed and was feeling a bit bored, so you arranged something for me to do. You’re too considerate!”
She narrowed her eyes. “Of course, I can’t let you work for free either. You deserve to be rewarded…”
A few seconds later, Lu Xuege felt the phone vibrate in his palm.
He took down his phone, switched to WeChat, and saw a transfer notification from Lu Haiqiao.
0.1 yuan.
Lu Xuege: “…”
How is this any different from working for free?
He forced a smile and said with a lump in his throat, “Thank you so much for this generous reward. This amount should be enough for my expenses for the rest of my life.”
Lu Haiqiao bit her straw, confidently accepted his ‘thanks’, and then sent him the link to the auction website to him via WeChat. “Help me find out who bought my ‘Flower Moon’ and ‘Night.’”
This sentence successfully silenced Lu Xuege.
After about half a minute, he spoke with a serious tone, “It’s been so long, and you still can’t let it go?”
He had hoped that with time, Lu Haiqiao could gradually forget about it, but instead, the obsession seemed to grow deeper.
“Haiqiao, I can help you investigate this matter, but you must promise me that there can be no repeat of what happened last time. Do you hear me?”
On that day, that moment, when they received that news, the entire Lu family was nearly turned upside down.
Thinking about it, Lu Xuege shook his head helplessly, realizing that most of the serious things in his life had been dedicated to Lu Haiqiao.
This little sister had always been a handful since childhood.
Lu Haiqiao skillfully avoided the question, “By the way, does Duoduo know you’re back?”
Lu Xuege immediately got sidetracked, “You called me as soon as I got off the plane. I didn’t even have time to contact anyone, let alone my little disciple. Even my big brother doesn’t know I’m back.”
Hehe, you treat her like a disciple, but she treats you like a husband!
Lu Haiqiao smirked and silently scolded Lu Xuege as a clueless guy who deserved to stay single for life.
“Oh, and one more thing,” she suddenly remembered, “Ahxue, if you have the time, can you help me investigate someone?”
