Chapter 264
“All of you look down on me. When I inherit the Lu Family, I’ll make sure these people kneel and beg for my forgiveness.” Lu Ang put his hands on his hips, fuming like a blowfish, sending off clear signals that he wasn’t someone to mess with.
“By the way, didn’t everyone from the Xu Family die off? Where did this Xu Ke come from? Did he just pop out of nowhere, or is he just using some random name to trick me?” Lu Ang thought about the two people he just let go so easily, glaring with wide eyes, and questioned the lackeys beside him.
He had just returned from abroad and wasn’t very familiar with the local situation, but these people were all native to Shangjing; they should know if someone was lying or not.
“So, you’re saying there’s a good chance he was just trying to trick me earlier? How do you not even know something this trivial? How did you all grow up in Shangjing—are you all idiots? Huh? Are you idiots?” Lu Ang gave each of them a kick and felt much better afterward.
“Remember this guy for me. Every time you see him from now on, beat him up. If I don’t make him kneel and call me grandpa, then I’m his grandson.” Lu Ang swiped his nose with a finger, speaking with a cold tone.
“Got it, got it, we’ll remember. We’ll make sure to give that grandson what he deserves.” Lackey No. 1 said with a fawning smile.
“But what if he really is Xu Ke?” Another lackey, who was more timid, showed a hesitant expression.
He opened his mouth to say more but was interrupted by Lackey No. 1 who had just spoken, “What ’but’? What ’but’? Does he look like Xu Ke with that self-destructive demeanor? And even if he is, so what? In front of our boss, he’s nothing. Everyone in Shangjing knows Xu Ke hasn’t even stepped into his company’s building. Chairman Hu from their company doesn’t acknowledge him at all. Xu Ke is just living on dividends, how can he compare with our boss? Our boss doesn’t have to worry about anything!” Lackey No. 1 declared loudly.
Lu Ang threw an approving glance at Lackey No. 1, “Makes sense. You all should learn from him. Looking at you guys just dampens my mood.”
“But boss, you only mentioned what to do if we encounter that guy; what about the girl?” Among the envious glances of the others, Lackey No. 1 cautiously brought up to Lu Ang.
“Just grab her for me. I want to have a proper discussion with her on her refusal to cooperate, and if she disagrees, then I’ll just take her by force. Let’s see how she gives me attitude then.” Lu Ang seemed to envision Lin Mengyao kneeling at his feet, and his smile turned a bit wicked and playful.
“Alright, boss, we got it. We promise to handle it clearly for you.” Lackey No. 1 gave a comically formal salute, amusing Lu Ang.
“Didn’t think you had this kind of talent, not bad. Learn a few more in the future and keep me entertained, and there’ll be benefits for you.” Lu Ang gave Lackey No. 1 a light kick, saying with a smile.
“For your smiling face, it’s not just about learning a few antics; I’d climb mountains and cross seas for you.” Lackey No. 1 replied with a devoted smile.
“Among you guys, you have the slickest tongue. Tell me, what do you want from me?” Lu Ang straightened his collar, raised one eyebrow, and looked at the other with a half-smile, but there was a well-hidden trace of delight deep in his eyes. He enjoyed others seeking favors from him.
“It’s nothing particularly difficult. Isn’t Mr. Lu having a birthday soon? We juniors would like to pay our respects and show our filial piety. Do you think that’s okay?” As Lackey No. 1 spoke, he watched Lu Ang’s face. Seeing that there was no sign of displeasure, he was mostly relieved. They had been accompanying this little master for so long just to get into the Lu Family’s banquet. Meeting any notable figure would be worth it.
Lu Ang knew what they wanted, but he was happy to watch, seeing them act like clowns for something he could easily grant. It was extremely amusing to him.
“Fine, just come on that day and mention my name at the door.” Lu Ang lazily waved his hand, appearing unconcerned.
Mr. Lu’s birthday party approached quickly, and as the leader of the Xu Family, Xu Ke was naturally invited too.
Adjusting his striped tie in front of the mirror, he heard Lin Mengyao’s soft voice from behind, “Xu Ke, can you help me with the zipper in the back? I can’t see it.” Lin Mengyao lifted her curled long hair, exposing her fair back to Xu Ke.
The grass-green dress complemented Lin Mengyao’s already fair skin, making it resemble fine jade. The backless design added a touch of sensuality. Xu Ke tugged up the zipper for Lin Mengyao, covering most of her back before letting her long curls fall back down. The sight made Xu Ke’s Adam’s apple suspiciously move up and down.
“Damn, I’m starting to regret it; I shouldn’t have picked this dress for you to wear out. You’re definitely going to be the most popular woman tonight.” Xu Ke slightly pursed his lips, his eyes showing a hint of regret.
“Then you must be the most envied man because you have the most popular woman tonight.” The pendant of jade earrings beside her cheek gently tapped against her face as Lin Mengyao tilted her head, adding a touch of allure to her already cold and glamorous eyes.
“Alright, let’s not be late for someone else’s birthday party. I’m ready, let’s go.” Lin Mengyao ran her fingers through her wavy hair, smiling.
At the party, the lackeys, dressed in what they thought was their best suits, arrived at the Lu Family’s birthday banquet. Seeing the people they normally couldn’t even dream of meeting now standing not far from them, their hearts pounded, their eyes wide and bright, limbs unsure of where to place themselves, and their legs even felt weak, needing something to lean against to feel better.
“Tch, look at you all, just seeing two people and you can’t walk properly anymore, even mixing up your hands and feet—such a disgrace.” Lu Ang sneered with a note of contempt in his tone.
