He was still too young.
Lu Wanggui thought of his son’s tender face. Everyone said that sons were epitomes of their fathers, but Lu Wanggui was not as impulsive and reckless as his son when he was young.
As a workaholic, the only person who could make Lu Wanggui put aside his work for a while and think carefully was Lu Bei. He was still worried about his son’s character, the assistant on the other end of the phone added, “Well… CEO Lu, Young Master met your wife when he was shopping at the supermarket today. Your wife happened to bump into Young Master when she went to buy a watermelon, but the two of them didn’t communicate much. After paying their bills, they went their separate ways.”
After the assistant said this, he felt that it was inappropriate. Did this sound like he was complaining to CEO Lu? Saying that his newly married wife didn’t have a good relationship with his son? That she didn’t even want to maintain a superficial relationship?
When he thought of this, the assistant broke out in a cold sweat. He swore that he was just casually mentioning it. He didn’t mean anything by it. If CEO Lu was dissatisfied with his wife because of his words… and his wife found out through CEO Lu that it was because he said something he shouldn’t have said. His career would be in danger!
Fortunately, CEO Lu did not probe further. He only said that he knew, and the assistant heaved a sigh of relief. However, at the same time, he also reminded himself in his heart to be careful when he spoke in the future. Now that he had the lady boss, he had more things to consider when dealing with people.
Xiang Xiaoyuan did not know that his assistant had casually told Lu Wanggui about her first meeting with Lu Bei. However, she was not afraid even if he knew. She did not do anything wrong. She just did not pay the bill for her stepson, there was no law that stated that a stepmother had to pay the bill for her stepson, right?
…
On the other side, Lu Bei followed the address given by Director Liu and arrived at the hospital where the hooligans were hospitalized.
One thing led to another. It was wrong for hooligans to harass female students, but it was another matter for hooligans to be hit by a car because of him. He wanted to inquire about the situation of the hooligans from the school, but unfortunately, the school teacher did not say anything about it, so he could only personally come to the hospital
Because he did not know the name of the hooligans, he could only go to the nurse’s desk and ask, “Hello, please help me find someone. He has yellow hair and a tattoo on his right arm. He is about 1.75 meters tall and very thin. He was sent here after a car accident.”
He told her everything that he could think of.
The nurse was also very warm-hearted. As she peeked at Lu Bei’s handsome face, she searched through the computer system for patients that matched it. “I found him. He is in bed 26 on the seventh floor in the inpatient ward. He has a fracture and his condition is not serious. He will be fine after recuperating for a period of time.”
Lu bei heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank you.”
He placed the nutritional supplements in his hands on the nurse’s desk. “Can you help me pass these things to him?”
The nurse scratched her head. “Not really. The head nurse doesn’t want us to help pass these things to patients. Why don’t you take a look at the visiting hours and personally deliver them to him?”
Lu Bei did not force her. After thanking her, he carried the things and walked towards the elevator.
After the nurse saw him got into the elevator, she quickly picked up her phone and dialed a number. She lowered her voice and reported something.
“Ding.”
The elevator door opened and Lu Bei strode out. He carried a bunch of nutritional supplements and walked towards the ward with some hesitation. Should he leave his things at the door later? Since he was fine now, he was relieved.
Because of the parents of the students, the ward where the hooligan stayed in was a VIP ward. There were not many patients who could stay on this floor. The corridor was empty and very quiet.
As Lu Bei walked forward, there was finally noise in the air.
“Hahaha, this is the first time I know that money is so easy to earn! These parents are really generous for the sake of their children.”
“That’s right, this is the legendary saying that rich people are stupid.”
“No, they’re not stupid. If we were the first to hit someone and were in the wrong first, those parents would kill us, we would all be squatting at the police station by now, let alone counting the money here.”
“Right, right, right. The boss is wise. He knows how to lure the students to make the first move. We only asked those girls for directions. The students misunderstood it and thought that we were bullying them. In the end, we are the ones who are in the right.”
Hearing this, Lu Bei stopped in his tracks.
“I’ve asked around. The person who made the first move is called Lu Bei. His family is very rich. His father is the famous Lu Wanggui. He definitely doesn’t lack money. I reckon that this time, we can at least get four to five hundred thousand or five to six hundred thousand from Lu Wanggui.”
“But Little Huang is smart. He knows how to run on the road. Being hit by a car and fracturing his bone is nothing. Anyway, Lu Bei is the one to bear the responsibility. As long as we are a little tougher, let alone five to six hundred thousand, he will give us a million!”
“Really? Can Lu Wanggui really give us a million yuan for his son?”
“Of course it’s true. Haven’t you heard that Lu Wanggui donated several buildings to the school for his son’s sake?”
