Duan Rulan took her husband's arm nervously, followed him step by step, and walked to the front of the courtyard together. Compared with Ji Wenhan's ecstatic and high-spirited spirit, Duan Rulan was more frightened. She was not as confident as Ji Wenhan, and felt that it must be a good thing for the Lu family to come to the door.
Duan Rulan thinks she has a firm foothold in the circle of noble ladies in Jiangcheng, but a few years ago, a lady who was not directly related to the Lu family came to Jiangcheng by chance. However, they were all rejected. Since then, Duan Rulan no longer dared to hope to get on the line with such a real monster, and at the same time, she became more and more friendly to Chu Shuangyan - after all, the Chu family is the in-laws of the Lu family. Even if this relationship is a little far away, it can't be said when it will be dipped.
"Wenhan, did you really not offend anyone outside?" Thinking of this, Duan Rulan asked again worriedly. She always had a bad premonition in her heart, but she didn't know where it came from. After thinking about it carefully, she herself She is respectful to all the people with heads and faces. Shouldn't the problem be her
Along the way, Duan Rulan has asked no less than three times, and Ji Wenhan is a little impatient: "What are you thinking about? What is the status of the Lu family, if they really want to punish you, they need to come to the door to notify you? As long as they have this Intentions, the noble families who are waiting to be fawned will immediately swarm up to serve on their behalf, and in the end you will die at the hands of who will not know!"
"That's true..." Duan Rulan felt that her husband was right, so she reluctantly suppressed her anxiety.
It must be that the dead girl just now didn't know what to do, which made her dizzy, so she was a little cranky, since Ji Wenhan was so confident, nothing would happen to her.
Duan Rulan calmed down, and immediately showed her usual style when she was in the upper-class social circle. She put on a gentle and virtuous smile and leaned beside Ji Wenhan. There was a long line of teams.
It was at this time that Ji Wenhan realized that something was wrong: they were a high-end villa area, and the people who could live in this place were not ordinary people. There were people coming from the Lu family.
However, the door of the leading car opened, and a handsome young man came down from it. Ji Wenhan didn't have time to think deeply. He hurriedly walked over with his wife. As he approached, he felt more and more familiar with the man in front of him. This is not from Huan Yi. Is the new president, the young master of the Lu family, Lu Xingzhou
When Lu Xingzhou took office, he also attended the dinner held by Huanyi, but there were too many people around Lu Xingzhou. Ji Wenhan just glanced at it from a distance, and didn't find the opportunity to come forward to chat. In a few months, I saw it again in my own home!
Ji Wenhan pondered, this Lu Xingzhou heard that he was almost the appointed next head of the family, and he was sent to Jiangcheng to take over Huanyi. It was just an experience. If he could get along with such a person...
Ji Wenhan quickly put on a smile and greeted him with great enthusiasm: "Mr. Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still the same. I have heard that the Huanyi company you manage is booming now, and it seems to have taken over half of the entertainment industry. Mr. Lu is really young and promising, and his vision is very comparable, which makes me feel ashamed."
Ji Wenhan doesn't care about the 3721, he is full of compliments when he comes up, and his attitude is extremely humble. In fact, he and Lu Xingzhou are not of the same seniority at all, but who makes Lu Xingzhou noble, Ji Wenhan can't wait to post it upside down, where will he care? so much.
Duan Rulan should also follow her husband's words and greet Lu Xingzhou in a soft voice.
Lu Xingzhou didn't interrupt the couple's compliments, leaned on the car door and looked at them with a half-smile hugging his shoulders, and said slowly, "Mr. Ji, Mrs. Ji, when it comes to looking at people, the two of you are the ones that make me. Humbled."
It's not good to provoke anyone, but it is Si Yu who provokes him. Don't look at that little white rabbit, which is tender and soft, but he is guarded by Fifth Master Lu. If you move her, isn't it the same as breaking ground on Fifth Master's head? Lu Xingzhou truly admired the precise vision of courting death.
Ji Wenhan and Duan Rulan looked at each other, not sure what Lu Xingzhou meant by this, how could this tone sound a little out of place...
Ji Wenhan didn't dare to answer indiscriminately, but said, "Mr. Lu, please come in, please come in. Rulan and I didn't have time to make preparations for you when we heard you came to visit, so please forgive me."
"Don't worry, Mr. Ji, there's another guest who hasn't come." Lu Xingzhou was still standing still on the ground, without any intention of moving in, "As for the lack of advance notice... Of course it's because, if Say it in advance, it's not a surprise."
Lu Xingzhou's word "surprise" was particularly hard, and Ji Wenhan's heart jumped when he heard it. He almost thought that Lu Xingzhou was deliberately trying to find fault, but in a blink of an eye, Lu Xingzhou was still smiling, and he thought it was himself. overhearted.
"Then... there's another guest, who is it?" Ji Wenhan quickly went through it in his mind, to make Lu Xingzhou so polite, who is the big man
At this moment, another car drove by in the distance. Lu Xingzhou's eyes lit up when he caught sight of it. After the car stopped beside him, he ignored the ghostly expressions on the Ji's and his wife's faces, and trotted over attentively. He opened the car door in person, and said to the people sitting in the car: "Fifth Master, you see that I received the wind and brought people here immediately, but you didn't give instructions, and I can't act without authorization, so you can see what we are now. Run straight in, or what?"
Ji Wenhan and the two looked hard behind their backs, they didn't hear what Lu Xingzhou was saying, but judging from his body language, Ji Wenhan immediately knew that the person who came must be a big man with a higher status and more honor than Lu Xingzhou.
But this is impossible, is it Lu Xingzhou's father, the current head of the Lu family? … When did this small temple of the Ji Group attract such a big Buddha
The Ji family and his wife were feeling uneasy. Lu Xingzhou had already moved out of the way. They fixed their eyes and saw a man in a pear-white Tang suit who stepped out of the car. The Buddha bead, like the person in the painting, has a fascinating temperament. Ji Wenhan just glanced at him, then lowered his head in a panic, not daring to look directly at him again.
What a terrible man! Ji Wenhan was shocked. He had never felt such a terrifying feeling in anyone before, as if he was just an ant in the eyes of a man, who could be crushed to death easily.
Duan Rulan's reaction was even bigger. She held her husband's arm tightly, not even knowing that it hurt him. Ji Wenhan just felt terrible, but as soon as she raised her head, she met Lu Wuye's extremely indifferent eyes. The coldness inside seemed to freeze her bone marrow, Duan Rulan's back froze, and she exclaimed in a conditioned reflex, almost staggeringly took a step back, shrinking herself behind her husband.
"Wen, Wenhan!" Duan Rulan felt shivering, all the noble lady's demeanor was forgotten, this man... looked at her as if he was looking at a dead man, what's going on!
"Duan Rulan, what are you doing!" Ji Wenhan was caught off guard by Duan Rulan's sudden gaffe, he hurriedly dragged Duan Rulan back, and fearfully apologized to Fifth Master Lu, "I'm sorry, I'm a woman, I don't have much knowledge. Lost in appearance. This…”
Ji Wenhan got stuck on Fifth Master Lu. He didn't know what to call him, so he turned to ask Lu Xingzhou, "Mr. Lu, this, this is... ?"
Lu Xingzhou smiled, but there was a hint of schadenfreude in that smile: "This is our fifth master, you can just call it that. Okay, Mr. Ji, we're all here, why don't you invite us in? "
Ji Wenhan couldn't understand what Lu Xingzhou said afterward. The word "Five Masters" was repeatedly circling in his mind. He had been around for so many years, and he was considered a bit powerful. Naturally, he had heard the name Fifth Master - Lu Wuye. The great evil spirit of the Lu family? Are you coming to their house? !
Ji Wenhan only felt a little unsteady, Duan Rulan was clinging to him, trembling like a sieve, still panicking from the brief glance just now, Ji Wenhan at this time is not much better than her, fortunately his rationality Tell him that if he really loses his temper, the end will not be very good, so he barely stabilized, bowed his head and greeted people into the room, not daring to say a word.
Fifth Master Lu strolled through the courtyard in a leisurely manner, as if he was not a guest, but the owner of the house. The Ji family had a large yard. Ji Wenhan liked to be arty, so he hired a few A skilled gardener came to take care of the garden, and the flowers were planted everywhere, and the flowers swayed in the wind and looked pleasant.
Fifth Master Lu glanced at it and said, "The yard is well maintained, do you like flowers?"
Ji Wenhan nodded immediately, for fear that a second delay would make this master dissatisfied: "Yes, the yard is full of precious varieties that I have collected from all over the world, fifth master, which one do you like, even if you speak, I will Immediately instruct someone to transplant it into a pot for you, you can see this piece of orchid is invaluable..."
Ji Wenhan was overjoyed. He thought he had found Fifth Master Lu's preference. He searched his stomach to find out a little bit of poor knowledge of flowers and plants. He began to exaggerate about the whole yard. : "Rulan, don't you usually like to take care of these flowers and plants? Come and introduce them to Fifth Master."
Duan Rulan froze and did not dare to move her eyes. She could tell from her husband's attentive and almost flattering attitude that this fifth master was definitely someone they couldn't provoke no matter what, and she wanted to say something. But she usually just waters it, so where would she do the rough work of planting flowers, she doesn't understand anything!
"Five masters... Wen Han, I'll call the gardener here!" Duan Rulan thought for a long time without saying a word. She was so panicked that she was proficient in beauty, body sculpting, and dressing. How could such rough work be possible!
Really useless! Ji Wenhan immediately felt disgusted in his heart, what else can a woman like Duan Rulan do other than go shopping and spend money, get together with that group of ladies every day, why didn't she learn from others? Which wives from other aristocratic families are not elegant and proficient in everything, but she is good. After more than 20 years, she still can't get rid of this petty family temperament, and it is useless at the critical moment!
Ji Wenhan immediately grabbed his wife who wanted to run to call someone, no matter how disgusted he was in his heart, but his face didn't show it at all, he hurried to remedy: "Fifth master, this is just Rulan's little hobby, I'm afraid it's not good, so I just I want a professional to explain it for you.”
"No need. So, you asked people to plant all these flowers and plants?" Lu Wuye fell on Duan Rulan with chilly eyes, and when she saw her nodding, she curled her lips slightly, "You are not worthy of these. Flowers and plants, now, go and clean up the yard yourself."
Duan Rulan thought she had hallucinated: "Fifth Master, what did you say... What?"
Lu Xingzhou kindly reminded: "The fifth master asked you to clean up the flowers and plants in person. He found it very annoying to see, understand?"
"What, what?" Duan Rulan was pampered, where did she hear such a request, and she subconsciously showed an angry look, but just as she expressed the idea of complaining, the bodyguard who had been silently hanging behind Fifth Master Lu suddenly Suddenly, he took two steps forward, cut Duan Rulan's hands backwards in three or two strokes, and led her to the garden.
"What are you guys trying to do!" Ji Wenhan was stunned for a few seconds before he could react. He immediately reached out his hand to pull someone. Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his hand, something hard hit the back of his forehead. Ji Wenhan froze. Looking back tremblingly, only to find that the black muzzle was aimed at the back of his head.
"!!" At this time, he looked carefully, only to realize that the bodyguards brought by Fifth Master Lu were all hiding hot weapons. Earlier, he had heard rumors that the Fifth Master was in charge of a huge private arms trade. Net, now it seems that this rumor should be true...
Duan Rulan also clearly saw what was pointing at her husband. Her waist was also held back by something sturdy. She didn't have to bow her head. She could also guess what it was. She had never seen such a battle before, and she instantly softened half of her body. .
"Go quickly, otherwise it will rain soon, which will delay the time." Lu Wuye said kindly, he turned the Buddha beads, did not look up at the sky at all, but said this sentence in a determined tone After saying that, the bodyguard who was holding Duan Rulan immediately escorted her over, but Duan Rulan did not dare to give birth to the slightest resistance.
"You go too, husband and wife are of the same mind, why are you so embarrassed to ask you to watch?" Lu Wuye looked at Ji Wenhan who was as stiff as a rock, his tone was gentle, with a bit of a smile, "Send him over there. ."
The bodyguard started immediately, Ji Wenhan didn't dare to struggle hard, pushed and shoved the precious tie he had fastened on one side, he asked in a panicked tone: "Five masters, what do you mean, if there is any offense between our husband and wife, I'll make an apology first. If you have any requests, feel free to mention them, and I will do my best to satisfy them..."
Fifth Master Lu seemed to think what he said was very funny: "Didn't I already mention it? Since you said that you would try your best to satisfy, I will ask someone to look at you. If you stop once, the market value of your Ji's shares will be a little less. Do you understand?"
Pulling flowers and weeds, what kind of a ghost request! Ji Wenhan almost yelled, but fortunately he remembered who was standing in front of him in time, and then began to tremble. Compared with the Lu family, the Ji family is like a small shrimp facing a big shark. That threat is definitely not a joke!
Thinking of this, Ji Wenhan no longer dared to have any objection. Perhaps he was pointed at by a weapon. He honestly walked over to Duan Rulan. The two looked at each other, under the gaze of the muzzle of the gun, they had to bend over to pick up these completely unfamiliar agricultural tools and began to dig the ground without any rules.
They all scolded Lu Wuye in their hearts for what kind of nonsense he was thinking. Did the Ji family's yard provoke him, and they even asked them to turn over the whole yard? It took a lot of time, not to mention that the two of them had never done rough work before, and their posture of exertion was completely wrong. Before ten minutes of work, Duan Rulan was out of breath and felt that she could not do it.
"Mrs. Ji, you stopped once." The bodyguard standing by to supervise said blankly.
Ji Wenhan raised his head abruptly. He cherished his life and wealth, especially when it came to his own company. He was even more frightened and angry.
Duan Rulan was so wronged that she was even more shocked by her husband's terrifying face. She only knew that Ji Wenhan had always been gentle and elegant, and she had never seen him angry, but now Ji Wenhan was still complaining, how could she ignore her?
Of course, Duan Rulan didn't want an accident in Ji's company, so she had to swallow her pain and continue to pick up tools and hoe flowers. In order to welcome the guests from the Lu family, the two of them all dressed up carefully, and they were all wearing expensive clothes.
Fifth Master Lu looked at them blankly for a while, then turned his head to Lu Xingzhou and said, "Call someone to find the same amount of dog's tail grass. After they have finished turning the yard, they will continue to plant."
Lu Xingzhou was stunned for a while, and immediately reacted. Lu Wuye said before that Duan Rulan was not worthy of famous flowers and grasses, so he told her to pull out the flowers, and now he asked her to plant dog's tail grass after pulling them, which means that Duan Rulan is only for breeding. Weed
In terms of hurting people, they are still the five masters.
Lu Xingzhou was about to brag, when a suspicious voice suddenly came from the door of the villa: "What are they doing?"
Fifth Master Lu looked up and saw that Si Yu was standing at the door looking at him. He seemed to have run out after hearing the movement in the yard. He frowned immediately. The little girl was not in good health, but she only wore Skirts, aren't you afraid of catching a cold
Chu Shuangyan and Ji Lin ran out together, but when Chu Shuangyan saw Fifth Master Lu, just like a mouse seeing a cat, she slipped and hid behind Si Yu. Si Yu ignored her and went to the yard curiously. Looking inside, it took a while to identify them, before realizing that the two people who were plucking the flowers turned out to be the Ji's couple who were still bright and beautiful just now.
"You asked them to do it?" Si Yu was shocked, and when he turned around, he saw Fifth Master Lu approached her quietly at some point, took her little hand very naturally, and led her into the house.
I don't know if it's because of this person who saved him, Si Yu is not as afraid of him now as he was at the beginning. Although he can't bear to set off every time he sees the black luck on Fifth Master Lu's body, at least he can take it as usual. The heart responded, so even Si Yu didn't realize that the tone of her speech to others was no longer restrained, but rather casual.
"Isn't it a waste of time for them to do this?" Si Yu was a little curious about what the couple said to get such an embarrassing punishment, so he grabbed Fifth Master Lu's sleeve and asked him.
The soft little hand moved restlessly in his own palm, and Fifth Master Lu paused, but still replied: "Then ask them to transplant the turned out flowers back into the pot. If you like it, I'll have someone give it to you. send."
Lu Xingzhou listened and glanced at him secretly. The fifth master's trick of borrowing flowers to present to Buddha is really good. Although the Ji family loves to die, the varieties of those flowers are really precious. Fifth master is better. The grass was exchanged, and the good things were conveniently given to Si Yu.
Si Yu said helplessly, "I don't have any spare space in my house."
Fifth Master Lu was silent for a while. He usually delivered medicines and flowers to Si Yu by the dozen? This is really not practiced, and of course, the rejection of gifts has never been practiced.
Since the flowers don't... Then ask someone to collect the petals and make her some snacks.
Ji Lin also saw his parents being forced to work in the garden. He couldn't even dream of this scene, so he stayed for a while before he came back to his senses.
There are several bodyguards in black standing next to his parents. It is obvious that what they are doing now is not their own volition. It is his biological parents. Although Ji Lin is extremely dissatisfied with the attitude of the two towards his sister, he still can't watch it. Immediately, he wanted to run away.
"A Lin?" Si Yu took a step too slowly and did not hold him. Instead, the outstretched hand was firmly held by Fifth Master Lu, tightly wrapping it without refusing to refuse. With strong arms, he threw himself into Fifth Master's embrace with a faint scent of sandalwood.
Fifth Master Lu squinted slightly and looked at Ji Lin's back, as if deliberately. He waited for him to leave the range that could cover the rain, and then said slowly, "The rain won't stop for a while, so keep an eye on those two people and let them go. They hurry up and I don't have the patience to wait."
As soon as he finished speaking, the pouring rain immediately poured down and drenched Ji Lin, and Ji Wenhan and Duan Rulan were even worse. The clothes on their bodies were still expensive materials. They could hardly wear it after such a shower. Duan Rulan's carefully depicted makeup looks even more It was wet for a second, and it was too embarrassing to be human.
