Chapter 55: Treasure Girl

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Looking at the peanuts she spent the whole night buying, Xie Wan felt that she was flattering the right person.

“Young Master Lu, please help yourself. If you want to eat melon seeds or walnuts, just tell me.”

The corner of Lu Xiu’s mouth twitched where no one could see.

So Xie Wan was quite proud of her behavior.

“Thank you for your kindness, Mrs. Cheng. It’s just that... the peanuts that we prefer are special. You can’t buy them in this place. You can keep this cart full of peanuts for yourselves.”

After saying that, he didn’t give the Cheng family any chance to speak. He quickly got into the car, as if he was worried that they would really drag out a cart full of melon seeds for him.

The Cheng Residence became smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror. Only then did Lu Xiu take stopped his fake smile and relax on the seat.

“You know, after eating the peanuts given by Cheng Ling yesterday, today I don’t feel tired at all.”

He shook his head and stretched his muscles. He felt as if he had a full-body massage yesterday.

“Cheng Ling is a treasure girl. I like her!”

Lu Qi was using his phone to reply to overseas emails. When he heard Lu Xiu’s words, he raised his head and glanced at him.

Only then did Lu Xiu realize that his words were ambiguous.

“No, I absolutely didn’t mean that. I only like her as a friend.”

Lu Xiu was worried that he would get into trouble, so he quickly cleared his name.

Lu Qi was still staring at him.

Normally this person looked gentle and refined. When he looked at you quietly, he could make your hair stand on end. Right now, Lu Xiu was suffering under such a gaze.

“No, I don’t like her! I don’t like Cheng Ling.”

This should be enough, right?

Seeing that Lu Qi’s gaze returned to his phone, he heaved a sigh of relief.

“Are we going back to the east of the city now?”

Lu Qi nodded.

“There seems to be news about yesterday’s batch of firearms. Let’s go back and deal with it.”

Lu Xi, Lu Nan, and Lu Bei all followed them back. Lu Dong continued to guard the west side of the city and monitor the progress of the project. At the same time, he also continued to see if Cheng Ling needed any help.

For something that had happened like yesterday’s afternoon, even if Lu Qi had not come, Cheng Ling would not have been bullied. However, the feeling of having no one on her side must not be good.

After all, Lu Qi had experienced this feeling before.

“What’s the purpose of your sudden visit to the west side of the city? To see your little girlfriend?”

“Don’t talk nonsense, especially in front of Cheng Ling.”

There was clearly no business on the west side of the city, so they didn’t have to make a special trip. However, after having dinner on the east side of the city yesterday, they actually rushed there in the dark.

They even stayed with the Cheng family for a night.

If there was anything that Lu Xiu had gained, it would be Cheng Ling’s peanuts.

“She might not be the girl who saved you back then... don’t get too involved. You are so good to her before we even confirm. If it isn’t her...”

Lu Qi didn’t reply and focused on replying to the email.

Lu Xiu secretly sighed and didn’t continue this topic.

At the entrance of the Cheng Residence.

Lu Xiu’s car drove away just like that, leaving behind only a faint amount of car exhaust.

Without even hearing a word of farewell, Cheng Xiao frowned with slight anger on her face. This was a waste of time.

She no longer maintained the image of an obedient girl. She angrily shook her hand and turned around to go back to her room to get her schoolbag.

“Driver! Hurry up and send me to class!”

Grades were now her biggest asset. Only by maintaining her good grades could the Cheng family show off to others.

If she had something to show off to others, the Cheng family would like her even more and continue to treat her well.

Although she kept urging the driver to drive faster, by the time they reached school, the first lesson had already ended.

Fortunately, the first class was an English lesson.

Cheng Xiao did well in every subject, especially English. It didn’t matter if she skipped a single class.

At the same time, she was secretly glad that she missed English class.

Although Cheng Xiao did very well in the written English Test, her spoken English was inferior to others.

It was because of this matter that she hated Cheng Ling even more.

Before Cheng Xiao was brought back to the Cheng family, she was adopted by a very ordinary family in the south of the city.

The parents of that family were very kind, but they didn’t have money. They couldn’t let Cheng Xiao attend a good school, so they could only let her go to an ordinary school in the town.

The quality of teachers wasn’t very good, but Cheng Xiao, who was a frog at the bottom of a well, didn’t notice it at that time.

It was not until she arrived at Yuya First High School that she found out that her spoken language had an accent.
