BXBX NOVEL Chapter 50 - 50: So Uncouth
On the other end of the phone, Xie Xuan heard the scream. His heart, which had just calmed down a little, was in his throat again.
“Who’s bleeding? Are you bleeding?” His voice was slightly hoarse, and he spoke quickly with a hint of nervousness.
Lu Haiqiao smiled a little and couldn’t be bothered to look at the wailing Pan Ning anymore. She walked toward the dining room door.
“Someone is bleeding, but it’s not me,” the maker of the “bloodbath” answered honestly.
“Were you bullied?” Xie Xuan found her gentle and lovely. Even if she wasn’t injured, she must have been shocked to see someone bleeding.
“No…” Lu Haiqiao touched the bridge of her nose in resignation.
The person who had the ability to bully her hadn’t been born yet.
By then, Lu Haiqiao had already walked out of the restaurant.
“As long as you’re not bullied.” Xie Xuan said, “See you later.”
Lu Haiqiao nodded.
After hanging up, she realized that she hadn’t even said where they were going to meet. Where would they meet later?
Was he coming to Nansha Bay Resort to pick her up?
Lu Haiqiao blinked. In that case, then…
Halfway through her thoughts, a sharp woman’s voice resonated in the quiet corridor. “Lu Haiqiao, come out, you little brat!”
Lu Haiqiao was speechless.
It seemed that the problem had been taken care of over there.
She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman slowly walking along the gorgeous carpeted corridor. She was wearing a dark red peony dress. As she walked, she was wiping something on her face with a wet tissue.
Lu Haiqiao sized up the woman. After a moment, she said with slight dissatisfaction, “You knew that there would be a fight tonight, but you still went out in a dress. What are you doing? Do you want to have a wardrobe malfunction?”
When they were close enough, she saw the wet tissue in the woman’s hand was covered in thick makeup.
“They were all useless. I took care of them in a few moves. How could I let that happen?”
As she spoke, the woman raised her hand and pulled off the hair clip on her head. Her thick and smooth long hair cascaded down, revealing a delicate and beautiful face.
“This is the only dress in the entire clothing store that’s appropriate for the middle-aged and elderly. Moreover, you were the one who said that I had to be more conspicuous. It’s red. It’s conspicuous enough!”
Lu Haiqiao sighed helplessly. “That’s true, but Yan, my mother doesn’t usually dress like this.”
Dark red, big peony flower…
How uncouth.
Lu Yange, whose taste had been questioned, was stubborn. “It’s not that I want to dress like this, but elderly’s dresses are all like this. Moreover, if she dresses too fashionably, your idiot father won’t fall for it.”
Ever since he overheard the phone call in the cafe, Lu Haiqiao knew that she would be involved in quite some trouble recently.
If it wasn’t for Su Jinchang, Su Qingya, who only cared about eating, drinking, and having fun, wouldn’t have harassed her over the phone and threatened her with text messages every other day.
Therefore, she played along. First, she asked Lu Yunge to hire the pianist Zhao Jiayu for the entire month. Then, she arranged for a piano concert at the last minute to lure Lu Wanxin out. Then, she let Lu Yange, who was good at makeup, disguise herself as Lu Wanxin and wait at home.
The aunt and niece, who were related by blood, resembled each other. With her excellent makeup skills, it was easy for Lu Yange to fool Su Jinchang, who had not seen Lu Wanxin for 20 years.
On the other hand, Lu Wanxin’s little cry during the phone call was just a slip of her foot when she was going down the stairs.
After all this, Lu Haiqiao finally discovered Su Jinchang’s goal..
