From Runaway Bride to Global Queen

Chapter 108: Chapter 108: I Have Something Good for You

Unexpectedly, Lu Yanchuan readily agreed to help Qiao Yi, even without making any demands.

“You know, if it’s too tough for you, I can talk to my dad about it.”

“No problem.”

As Lu Yanchuan flipped through the documents, he responded.

The calmer he seemed, the more uneasy Qiao Yi felt inside.

The ancients said: no work, no pay; there’s no such thing as a free lunch in the world; and also…

In any case, Qiao Yi simply couldn’t believe that Lu Yanchuan had really just agreed like this, to help her clinch the project?

Although she could handle it herself, she was… well, lazy!

“The overall structure of this document is not bad, only some detail parts need to be modified, like here…”

Qiao Yi didn’t expect Lu Yanchuan to take this matter more seriously than herself, grabbing the file and starting the modifications right away.

“Lemme do this, you keep working on that, I’ll go wash some fruits for you!”

“No need, work on it with me.”

Lu Yanchuan swept his hand and pulled Qiao Yi back to his side, even pulling her directly into his arms.

Qiao Yi felt very uncomfortable and shuffled a bit, sitting on his solid, springy thighs made her all the more flustered.

The entire afternoon, Qiao Yi couldn’t remember what Lu Yanchuan said, only the scent of the perfume he wore today which was very pleasant…

Qiao Xin, though naive, realized after being played for two days.

“Damn! Qiao Yi and Lu Yanchuan must have found the tracker early on, keeping it on purpose just to tease me!”

Qiao Xin, furious, flung the tracker.

Thinking of how she naïvely followed those two red dots all over Jiang City, she was so angry she wanted to fly into Qiao Yi’s face right there and then.

How could she be so shameless! To use such a method to deal with her!

Compared to Qiao Xin’s anger, Lu Ming showed no signs of annoyance, instead, he kept consoling Qiao Xin calmly.

“Since they’re no longer in Jiang City, there’s no need for us to stay either. Let’s go back to Capital City early; you’ve been feeling unwell these days, haven’t you.”

If possible, Qiao Xin didn’t want Lu Ming to talk at all, but at the moment, he was the only person beside her. If she angered him away, Qiao Xin would be in trouble alone in Jiang City.

“Let’s go. I want to see where Qiao Yi learned such nasty tricks!”

Qiao Xin had completely forgotten the tactics she used against Qiao Yi before, both physical and mental blows had somewhat driven her insane, maintaining clarity to return to Capital City was already quite good.

Qiao Yi didn’t have time to worry whether Qiao Xin was coming to trouble her, she was sitting helplessly in the Lu Mansion, listening to Old Mr. Lu talk.

“When the time comes, you go with Yanchuan. Just meeting them is enough, the rest will be handled by Yanchuan!”

Old Mr. Lu said boldly, but he knew too well what a disappointment his own son was, so his words were extremely insincere.

Qiao Yi’s face was twisted between tears and laughter, a last attempt to struggle.

“Dad… Can I not go?”

“No, you must go!”

Old Mr. Lu was adamant, totally unlike his previously hesitant demeanor.

Persimmons should be selected soft, alright, Qiao Yi admits she’s that soft persimmon! She just begs to be squeezed!

“Do I need to prepare some gifts or something, since they are all your old buddies, bringing something wouldn’t be inappropriate.”

“You can prepare as you see fit, Lu Ming and Qiao Xin will also be back this afternoon, you can discuss it with them.”

As for why not discuss it with Lu Yanchuan?

Joking! With Mr. Lu spending tens of millions in a minute, who would dare bother him with trivial matters like preparing gifts!

As for discussing with Lu Ming and Qiao Xin?

Qiao Yi thought about it and decided to do it herself, at least she wouldn’t have to withstand those two being nauseating in front of her!

Three days later, Old Mr. Lu was invited to an old buddy’s family banquet, which was originally a simple matter, but Old Mr. Lu heard from somewhere that his buddy’s daughter-in-law got married, so he insisted on bringing Qiao Yi to the family banquet as well.

Speaking of the family banquet, it’s actually a grand showing off scene.

However, the old buddies are not showing off who has more wealth, but rather showing off their children.

Your son bought a premium tea set yesterday, my son sent a premium chess set today.

Your younger son got married, my daughter-in-law is pregnant!

Qiao Yi didn’t understand the strangely competitive desire among these old men, but she had no ability to resist and could only accept her fate.

From the stones brought back from Jiang City, apart from those already made into jewelry and those intended for making jewelry, the remaining stones were just enough to make some small items.

Something novel and thoughtful, after all, jade is something that can be proudly presented anywhere.

When Qiao Yi was about to make up her mind and go find someone to choose designs, she bumped into Lu Ming and Qiao Xin, who had just rushed back to the Capital City and were summoned by the old man.

“Qiao Yi! How dare you show up in front of me!”

As soon as Qiao Xin saw Qiao Yi, her rage surged up, and she exploded with anger she had suppressed all the way, raising her hand to slap Qiao Yi’s face.

Qiao Yi lightly stepped back and dodged her slap.

“Qiao Xin, did your pregnancy make you lose your mind? This is the Lu Mansion, my home as well. As for you, dad only allowed you to enter the mansion, don’t you know to keep it down!”

Qiao Yi’s light comment enraged Qiao Xin, making her shake and point at Qiao Yi’s nose.

“You clearly left Jiang City! And had people deceive me! Can you be any more shameless!”

“I’m telling you, if you’re sick, you better see a doctor quickly, don’t stick around acting like an idiot! I didn’t call the police to catch you for planting a tracker on me, that was already merciful of me. Or do you prefer seeing me at the police station?”

Qiao Yi swung Qiao Xin’s hand away, and with a roll of her eyes, made it clear for Qiao Xin to see, then brushed past Qiao Xin’s shoulder and walked away.

“Her!”

“Let’s not worry about her for now, let’s go see what grandpa called us back for.”

Lu Ming held back Qiao Xin, not allowing her to entangle with Qiao Yi anymore.

Qiao Yi deliberately slowed down, waiting for Qiao Xin, but unexpectedly, Qiao Xin was held back by Lu Ming. Qiao Yi snorted and stopped paying attention to the two behind her.

Leaving the Lu Mansion, Qiao Yi went directly to the jade crafting place to prepare gifts for the family banquet in three days.

When Lu Yanchuan came home that evening, he saw many exquisite small boxes next to Qiao Yi, with Qiao Yi busying herself putting things into them.

Seeing Lu Yanchuan enter, Qiao Yi quickly waved at him.

“You’re back! Come over, I have something great for you!”
