C40 Was He Blind
Lu Qi sneered.
A trace of ruthlessness gradually appeared in her pretty almond eyes.
"You are just her mother."
Her gaze swept towards Lu Shengsheng.
It was obvious that she was mocking her.
It was no wonder that other people's mothers would want to treat their own children as treasures and dote on them.
Chen Yao, on the other hand, was afraid that her adopted daughter would suffer some grievances.
Ridiculous.
What a joke!
"You... If you could be as sensible as Shengsheng, would I have treated you like this?"
Chen Yao became more and more unhappy after being scolded.
Lu Qi narrowed her eyes and her expression was cold.
"If she was really as sensible as you said, she wouldn't have caused the young master of Chung family to be poisoned to death, right?"
The injury wasn't big, but it was extremely humiliating.
She was clearly picking up Lu Shengsheng's sore spot to poke!
Lu Shengsheng held back her tears.
"Sister... Sister, you clearly know that I am innocent, why... Why do you still say that?"
The tone of grievance was like a little pitiful being bullied.
However, Lu Qi did not take the bait.
"Sorry, I did not know you were innocent. Just like in the office, you also did not know I was innocent."
She treated him the same way she treated him.
Lu Shengsheng's tears froze and her face turned green.
"You..."
She looked at Lu Qi hatefully and wanted to tear her apart.
"Master," the maid suddenly came in at this time, "there is a person outside saying that he wants to see Eldest Miss."
"Looking for Qi?" Lu Qianyuan was a little surprised.
In his opinion, Lu Qi had just come from the countryside not long ago. It was basically impossible for anyone to come and find her.
More importantly, she even called out her surname?
"Who is the other party?" He asked.
The butler answered truthfully: "He said he's the butler of the Cheng residence"
When he said this, both men from the Lu family were shocked.
The Lu family was indeed rich, but compared to the top families in the Jindu, they were still much weaker.
Therefore, the steward of the Chung family had come to visit them personally. To them, this was something that they didn't even dare to think about in the past.
"Please! Please!" Lu Qianyuan excitedly tidied his clothes.
Even Chen Yao, who had always been arrogant, could not help but put on some makeup.
Butler Cheng was invited in.
Lu Qianyuan quickly asked the maid to make the best tea.
"Butler Cheng, may I ask what brings you here today?"
He knew that a big family like the Chung family would not easily send a housekeeper out.
Since he was here now, he must have something important to attend to.
Butler Cheng held the teacup and took a sip. Then he went straight to the point, "To tell you the truth, I am here today to deliver a cheque to Miss Lu Qi under the orders of my wife."
He took out a cheque from the pocket of his shirt and respectfully handed it to Lu Qi.
The couple from the Lu family glanced at it and saw that the amount written on it was 5 million.
"This..."
Lu Qianyuan was confused.
Why did the Chung family suddenly give Lu Qi so much money?
Was Lu Qi the one who needed money and asked them to borrow it?
Butler Cheng was a smart person. How could he not see what Lu Qianyuan was thinking at this moment?
He smiled lightly.
"Mr. Lu, don't you know that Miss Lu Qi is the benefactor of Chung family?"
This time, the couple of Lu family were even more confused.
They were completely clueless about what was going on.
"What exactly is going on? Please enlighten me, Steward Cheng."
Housekeeper Cheng turned his head and looked at Lu Qi. Seeing that she did not object, he continued.
"I think you should already know about the poisoning of our young master. It can be said that if it was not for Miss Lu Qi today, our young master would not have been able to survive."
Lu Qianyuan basically understood these words.
" So, it is... our family's Qi who cured Young Master Cheng? "
Butler Cheng nodded his head and glanced at Lu Shengsheng beside him.
His expression was full of disdain.
"Previously, I always thought that the girls of the Lu family are all useless trash. I never thought that Mr. Lu would be so lucky to have such an outstanding and capable daughter, Miss Lu Qi. This Cheng is really envious! "
One demotion, one praise.
This made Lu Shengsheng very unable to raise her head.
However, she could not refute anything.
In comparison, the couple from the Lu family, especially Lu Qianyuan, were very proud.
He had never thought that one day, he would be able to hold his head high in front of a top family like the Chung family.
"Steward Cheng is too kind. Our Lu family and the Chung family have always been good friends. So Qi helping your young master is only a matter of duty." Lu Qianyuan said politely.
Butler Cheng nodded and did not say anything more. He looked directly at Lu Qi.
"Miss Lu Qi, other than this cheque, my wife also asked me to bring you something."
He handed over an exquisite card.
It was an invitation letter for a charity banquet hosted by Chung family.
Lu Shengsheng's eyes widened.
She knew that with the Chung family's strength, the standard of this banquet was definitely very high.
Hence, it was hard to get one vote.
Furthermore, with her status as the young mistress of the Lu family, she had gone through all kinds of hardships to get a ticket, but she was still unable to get one.
In the end, Lu Qi did not even need to move her finger to get one ticket, and someone took the initiative to give it to her?
This was too infuriating!
"Younger sister, you seem to be very interested in this banquet?" Lu Qi raised her eyebrows and asked.
She took the invitation letter with her slender fingers and casually flipped through it before passing it to Lu Shengsheng.
Lu Shengsheng subconsciously reached out to receive it but it was quickly retracted by Lu Qi.
Lu Shengsheng missed.
Her expression was very ugly.
"What do you mean?"
Lu Qi curled her lips. "Nothing much. I just want to show my sister how exquisite the painting on this invitation letter is."
Lu Shengsheng was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
She thought that Lu Qi wanted to pass the invitation letter to her.
She did not expect that it was only for her to take a look.
This... This was too much of a bully!
"Alright, since the items have been delivered, I should take my leave now." Butler Cheng stood up.
Lu Qianyuan personally sent him out.
When he returned, his face was full of smiles.
"Qi, today you have given your father light. Come, quickly tell Dad, how did you cure the young master of the Chung family?"
Lu Qi lowered her brows and put away the things. With a calm expression, she said, "It was just a casual treatment."
After she finished speaking, she went upstairs.
Just like that, she did not want to give Lu Qianyuan any face at all.
However, Lu Qianyuan didn't mind.
He discussed with Chen Yao excitedly, "Qi is going to attend the banquet this time, and she is representing our Lu family. No matter what, we must not lose out. Hence, he quickly prepared the best evening gown for her. I want everyone to know that I, Lu Qianyuan, have such an outstanding and beautiful daughter!"
Lu Shengsheng's expression at this moment was as ugly as if she had eaten a fly.
Lu Qi was outstanding?
Lu Qi was beautiful?
Were... were they blind?
"By the way," Lu Qianyuan suddenly seemed to remember something. "Tell me, since Qi can cure Young Master Cheng, then could it be that what she said about me having money and sores is also true?"
When Chen Yao heard this, she also had a moment of hesitation.
"It should not be... right? After all, even the people in the hospital had already come to a conclusion. They said that this was just an ordinary rash. How could it suddenly become a golden ulcer just because she cured Young Master Cheng?"
