Chapter 14: Luckily, the Earth is round
It was precisely because of this, that Xu Duo as the owner, dared to announce that anyone who could continuously hit these three darts would not only receive a cash prize of one hundred thousand yuan but also be exempted from all the expenses at the bar in future.
This challenge was not intended to increase the entertainment value or publicity of the bar but rather, it was simply believed that no one could achieve it.
Lu Haiqiao looked at one of the security guards who still guarded the dartboard and asked, "Who shot down these darts?"
Just to confirm.
The guard recognized Lu Haiqiao.
He glanced at the bar's entrance and replied, "Just left. A young man."
Lu Haiqiao: "..."
The streets are full of young men. Which one are you talking about?
Lu Haiqiao recalled the man's attire. "The one in the black short-sleeved shirt and aqua blue jeans?"
The guard nodded. "Yes."
It was him.
Lu Haiqiao continued to inquire, "What's his name?"
If he won the grand prize, he should at least leave his name.
The guard shook his head, "He didn't say, and he didn't want the prize money. He just left."
A hundred thousand prize money was offered on a silver platter, and he didn't want it.
Interesting.
How interesting.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Lu Haiqiao's lips as she once again cast her gaze toward the bar's entrance.
"I'm at your service whenever you need me."
"Lu Haiqiao?"
"Your name is written on the book."
"And this, it's a complimentary item from the cafe. Every customer gets one."
Tissue...
She seemed to have put it in her bag, unopened.
So, that cafe...
It was a little remote.
Luckily, Earth is round, and dropping by wouldn't hurt.
...
At ten o'clock in the evening, a taxi stopped at the entrance of an old neighborhood in the east of B City.
After moving out of the Su family, Lu Haiqiao has been living here with Lu Wanxin.
The exterior of the building might be old, but the security and greenery were quite good. Coupled with convenient transportation nearby, it was a comfortable place to live.
She climbed up the stairs and reached the third floor.
As soon as she pushed open the door, a fragrant aroma greeted her nose.
"Mom!" Lu Haiqiao shouted in the direction of the kitchen.
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Wanxin walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of steaming beef noodles. "Baby, you're back. Quick, go wash your hands. Mom made you supper."
"Thanks, Mom!"
Lu Haiqiao, in her slippers, obediently went into the bathroom.
Before she could even turn on the faucet, she heard Lu Wanxin's crisp voice from the dining room, "The bottle on the shelf is the hand soap I just bought today. Remember to use the new one."
Hearing this, Lu Haiqiao looked up.
On the shelf, on the shelf...
"It's the one with a little frog on it," Lu Wanxin added.
Lu Haiqiao's gaze lingered on the words 'Baby Bubble Hand Soap'. "..."
"Baby, come out for supper after washing your hands. Beef noodles don't taste good if they sit too long!"
Outside the washroom, Lu Wanxin's gentle voice was heard again.
Did she treat her like a baby?
Lu Haiqiao shrugged helplessly and washed her hands as quickly as possible.
When they returned to the dining room and sat down, Lu Wanxin asked, "Baby, did you meet with Qingya this afternoon?"
Lu Haiqiao picked up a few strands of noodles with the chopsticks and put them into her mouth.
She didn't say anything, just nodded.
Although Lu Wanxin was no longer the wife of the CEO of the Su Corporation, her good living habits, and positive attitude had managed to fend off the ravages of time. Even at the age of forty-seven, she still had a fair and delicate complexion.
