Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 564

Chapter 564 Extra – Lu Haochen and the Other Immortal (IX)

The battery car drove by, and sure enough, it was Mr. Lu. I was very happy that he had finally come to my rescue.

Mr. Lu jumped off the battery car and came over with big strides, “Dad, what did you get her for, she’s a little girl who doesn’t know anything, if there’s something you tell me.”

Mr. Lu looked at him, “Haochen, your mother is very worried about you, it is not a solution for you to go on like this, after all … all.”

“I told you,” Mr. Lu interrupted impatiently, “I don’t need you to worry about my affairs.” He grabbed my hand, “Let’s go.”

I, of course, said nothing and obediently followed him.

Lu called after him, “Eat before you go.”

Mr. Lu ignored him and took me on the battery car, his lips slightly down, I knew he was a little upset, so I didn’t dare to say anything.

Mrs. Lu greeted her on the other end, “Haochen, eat before you go, it’s been a long time since you father and son had a drink together, take advantage of the fact that Xiao Xu is also here today, the house is bustling with activity.”

“No, mom,” Mr. Lu looked more polite to Mrs. Lu and said, “Next time.”

Mrs. Lu looked a little helpless, standing there watching us leave.

I didn’t expect the whole rescue process to be so simple, there was absolutely no shocking waves in my imagination, Mr. and Mrs. Lu didn’t do anything to me, and it was over. It was completely different from what I had expected before.

Mr. Lu asked me, “They didn’t say anything to you, did they?”

I shook my head, “Didn’t say anything.” Seeing that he was still sullen, he reached out and gently ran his hand over his arm, “Don’t be mad, they’ve been very nice and welcoming to me.”

“Only you are stupid, tell you to go and you go.” Mr. Lu patted on my hand and finally eased his face, “If there’s this kind of thing again in the future, you don’t go with them, do you hear me? Call me first.”

“Got it,” I pouted against his shoulder, “don’t send me back, I want to be with you.”

When I pouted, he couldn’t do anything about it, “Fine, then come to work with me.”

I thought he was talking for fun, but I didn’t expect him to really take me to Lu’s. I followed him around, and along the way, people kept saluting and greeting us, Mr. Lu just nodded slightly without any expression at all, and just walked straight through, I thought he looked really cool. I, of course, looked much more affable, and kept smiling at people along the way.

When I arrived at the office, it was much bigger than Tianchen’s office, as big as a small screening theater, with a meeting area, a sitting area, a display area, and a conference area…. I walked around while taking a closer look and tsked, “You’ve got a really big place here.”

He pointed to the sitting area and said, “I’m going to do my work, you go there and play.”

I obediently answered and sat on the sofa, the secretary lady came in and brought me tea, smiled politely and retreated again, I sipped my tea, read a magazine for a while, and turned on the flat screen to watch a movie, I felt a little bored, so I took some paper over to do some math.

The family’s expenses are now under my responsibility, because I think those people who buy food don’t know how to pick food at all, they only know how to pick the expensive ones in the supermarket, I have accompanied my father to buy food, I know what food is good and cheap where to buy, and the same food is at least half cheaper if you let me buy it. At first, Mr. Lu was afraid of tiring me out and didn’t agree, but as soon as I pampered him, he couldn’t do anything about it.

Mr. Lu said that every month’s household expenses he gave me a fixed amount of money, save all belong to me. Than he sent me those gifts that can easily be hundreds of thousands of dollars, earn a small amount of money more let me happy.

I wrote it down carefully on the paper, one stroke at a time, and was concentrating on the math, when suddenly a hand reached over and picked up the piece of paper, “What’s this writing, it’s a mess.”

Being a person who doesn’t like to read, the writing is of course a bit hard to read and the records are so disorganized that only I can read them.

I reddened and went to grab it, “Give it back, give it back, it’s not finished yet.”

He did not give, holding the paper read, “snails a catty, eight dollars, a fish head, ten dollars, a handful of green onions, a piece, yogurt a mention, eight nine, tampons, eight …” He looked at me and smiled, “How there is this? ”

My face turned even redder and I jumped up to grab it, “Begging not to be annoying, give it back!”

He stopped me and continued, “A box of matches costs 50 cents. Why do you buy matches when you have a lighter at home? Besides, you have to keep track of 50 cents, aren’t you tired?”

“It’s none of your business if I’m happy.”

He teased me with a teasing face, “Yo, didn’t really see it coming, so you’re a little stingy.”

I’m not stingy, I just don’t like to waste it. Money, every cent should be used on the knife edge.

He asked me, “What do you want to do with all that money you’ve saved?”

I grunted, “Not telling you.”

“Then tell me how much money you need in reverse, won’t I finish giving it to you? Save you from gouging bit by bit.”

He doesn’t understand the joy of saving money at all, I enjoy the process, not the final number. Even if I only save a couple of cents, I’m happy.

When I couldn’t grab the piece of paper, I clucked him, and he was so ticklish that he surrendered immediately.

I grabbed the paper and started counting again, but I was still fifteen dollars short of the right amount. I held my cheeks, thinking hard, really can’t think of where the fifteen dollars went?

He sat on the couch and stroked my head like he would a child, “What’s wrong?”

I bit my lip and said bitterly, “There’s fifteen dollars that won’t reconcile.”

He laughed out loud and sat with my entire body in his lap, “My woman is worried about fifteen dollars? It’ll be laughed off when it gets out. Forget it, don’t think about it, can’t afford to hurt your head over fifteen dollars.”

I loved hearing him call me that: his woman, four words that seemed to represent an identity, one that had nothing to do with canaries.

I nestled into his arms and frowned, “It’s not about the money, it’s about keeping the books straight or you’ll think I’m embezzling!”

He laughed again and scratched my nose, “Fool, all the money saved goes to you, what kind of corruption!”

When I think about it, that’s the rationale, but I don’t like the fact that the number is unclear, and all in all, it’s a bit of a tangle.

He gave me a kiss and said, “Going grocery shopping today?”

“Yes,” I glanced at my wrist watch, “it’s almost time, I’m going to go grocery shopping and make dinner for you when you get back for dinner.”

In fact, he doesn’t come home for dinner every day, there are always such and such social engagements, but I blocked him with words first, and I didn’t expect him to say, “There’s nothing to do today, I’ll go grocery shopping with you.”

I should be cheering, but I hesitate, I don’t know if it’s appropriate to let a big man like him go to the food market?

He saw something strange in my expression, “What’s wrong? You don’t want my company?”

I said slowly, “I’m going to the food market, it’s a bit dirty, I don’t know if you can stand it?”

He stroked my head again, “Thought it was something, if you can go, why can’t I?”

I immediately smiled and climbed on his arm to kiss him, “You’re the first man to go to the market with me.”

He smiled dotingly, “As long as you’re happy.”

I was so proud of going to the grocery store with his arm that I held my head high, afraid that people wouldn’t see me.

I teach him how to buy cost-effective vegetables, some vegetables look like a yanji, it is because no water, others think the look is not good, I do not mind, dry yanji not weighing it, buy home to the water a soak, and then immediately have vitality, such as pork, other people to buy the thigh meat in front of the thigh meat, I’ll buy the soup bone, go home to the meat can be picked down to fry a bowl of the rest of the bone can be boiled in soup, to spend the same amount of money, to buy two kinds of food, cost-effective.

Mr. Lu looked at me in amazement as he listened, he probably didn’t expect me to know so much.

I squatted in front of the seafood stall to pick shrimp, to the boss to count cheaper, the boss is quite shrewd, look at Mr. Lu’s look like a rich man, a penny is not less. I don’t care about that, slowly grind with him, and I think the shrimp is not raw enough, and I think the head is not big, the boss was I can’t help it, agreed to less two dollars a catty.

I also said he was two dollars cheaper, I will buy more, time is not early, if not sold quickly, the shrimp died, tomorrow will have to be put on ice to sell, but the price is only half of today’s price, why not take advantage of the price is good, sell a little more.

The owner saw that I knew my stuff, so he agreed to drop another two dollars.

I didn’t move and picked a pound and a half for him to weigh, the boss looked at the bag I handed over, his face was obviously disappointed and said, “Didn’t you pick a little more? So little, how to give you less?”

I said, “I was going to ask for half a pound, now it’s almost a pound and a half, it’s not too much, it’s enough for just two people!”

The owner had no choice but to give me my change reluctantly.

Mr. Cheng did not say anything throughout the whole process, like a bystander watching with interest, after leaving the seafood stand, he said, “You are not bad at eloquence, you can go into business, are you interested in doing something on your own?”

I giggled, my interest used to be men, now it’s just him. I don’t even go to work anymore to keep him, where do I find time for anything else.

I found he enjoyed watching me haggle, probably hadn’t seen anyone argue for a dollar or a few cents for half a day.

Every buy a dish, he is very active in the hand, like a caring boyfriend, I heart sweet, like knocked over the honey pot. I only hope that such days can be long and long to go on. The more he is good to me, the more greedy I am, that originally unattainable luxury, now every moment is coiled in my heart.

It’s not easy to talk about long term, even if Mr. Lu has moved his heart, it’s not easy to pass his parents’ hurdle.

Back home, I hurried to keep score, lest I forget something again, the number can not match. I found a handful of change out on the table, ten dollars, five dollars, one dollar, ten cents, five cents … according to the order from large to small order, and finally pinched in the hand is actually a thick stack, I fussed with the number of points, all right, so the amount of money on the paper, write the date, folded into a lucky heart, and put it into a glass bottle, and then put in the office of Mr. Lu to keep track of the paper is also folded into a lucky heart, thrown into the bottle. I put the amount on the paper, wrote the date on it, folded it into a lucky heart and put it into the glass bottle.

Mr. Lu sat there, quietly looking at me, and suddenly said, “Xiao Xian, you’re so beautiful when you’re focused.”

I smiled shyly and moved over to kiss him.
