Chapter 1090: Chapter 1089: I’m Just Here to Take a Bath
Jiang Chaoge was visibly taken aback for a moment and then shook her head: "No need, we’re all adults here."
She’s not foolish; she’s already being suppressed and controlled by Lu Ze. If she dares to touch his son again, her fate won’t be good. She had heard both openly and in whispers that Lu Ze intends to associate with Zhou Yunchen.
Since she refused, Lu Heng didn’t insist either. However, he wasn’t one to take advantage without giving back. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I’ll buy you a flat in Beicheng."
Nothing else was said. He directly went back to the bedroom, grabbed some clothes, and changed. When he came out, he had already adopted a cold demeanor: "I hope this matter won’t affect our collaboration. Also, I don’t want a third person to know."
Jiang Chaoge tightly pressed her lips together, her voice tense: "Don’t worry, Senior Brother Lu."
Lu Heng quickly left, but unexpectedly, he ran into someone familiar in the elevator.
It was none other than Wang Kefu, who he had beaten nearly half to death.
Wang Kefu’s injuries had healed, but they weren’t life-threatening. At this moment, he was at the hotel acting recklessly. Lu Heng merely gave him a cold glance, along with the extremely sexy young woman in his arms.
Once Wang Kefu saw him, he immediately let go of the young woman in his arms and sent her away.
After the elevator closed again, he grinned playfully at Lu Heng: "Just got a massage, her skills weren’t bad."
He tried to flatter him, cautiously watching Lu Heng’s expression. Despite being the one beaten, he hated Lu Heng deeply in his heart, but helplessly, the moment he laid eyes on him, his heart softened, unable to hate him.
Lu Heng had always looked down on him, shooting him a glance before standing straight.
Wang Kefu, as cunning as a fox and a seasoned romantic, understood the situation when he saw the lingering charm in Lu Heng’s eyes.
Thus, Wang Kefu ingratiated himself, his expression greedy and eager: "Who did Dr. Lu favor?"
Lu Heng lowered his gaze: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Wang Kefu smiled mischievously: "If not, did Dr. Lu just come to have a bath?"
He boldly leaned closer and sniffed, "It is the hotel’s body wash scent." It was just unclear which woman got lucky.
Lu Heng ignored him, walking straight out when the elevator doors opened, but Wang Kefu followed like a shadow, persistently flattering and explaining: "That day I was impulsive, and you did punish me terribly. Dr. Lu, let’s say we’re even. I swear I won’t breathe a word about what I saw today."
Lu Heng sneered: "You think I’d be afraid of you talking?"
Wang Kefu shamelessly inched closer: "You’re perhaps rarely seen with women, have high standards? Still thinking about my niece? Let me tell you, that drink was from that little rascal Anxi; otherwise, I wouldn’t have lost my composure. Consider how she’s hurt you, why still think about her?"
Lu Heng paused, his gaze calm. After a moment he asked, "Do you really mean that?"
Wang Kefu was instantly dumbfounded, like out of nowhere a juicy piece of meat landed in his mouth after abstaining for long. Once he came to his senses, he swore fervently, pointing to the sky and earth, extremely excited.
All to say he’d be content just watching Lu Heng perform, without daring to think of anything more.
Lu Heng smiled faintly: "It’s not impossible."
Wang Kefu’s heart pounded wildly, nearly jumping high with excitement, his face ingratiating: "You say it, you say it. If you’re willing, I’d give my life for you."
By then, Lu Heng had gotten into the car, its window down, while Wang Kefu clung to the window, eagerly watching.
Lu Heng slowly fastened his seatbelt, then looked at Wang Kefu, speaking lightly: "I want the operating rights for Wang Family’s equipment factory."
Wang Kefu was initially filled with hope, but his expression dimmed, rubbing his hands: "Dr. Lu, isn’t that asking too much of me? Everyone knows the little brat of Anxi is in charge, even with courage, I wouldn’t dare risk it."
"Five billion," Lu Heng spoke softly: "I only need two years. Think it over, at worst you’ll just be scolded by your family’s patriarch. Would he really send you to prison for a few years? Besides, the Wang Family’s assets are worth only a few hundred billion. You’d have to wait till the patriarch passes to split the inheritance, hoping Gu Anxi lets go. Now, there’s five billion before you; only a fool would miss it."
This speech had somewhat moved Wang Kefu.
He didn’t reply, but his expression turned somber, a sense of underappreciation evident.
Lu Heng knew when to stop, speaking softly: "Think it over carefully."
With those words, his gaze swept across Wang Kefu’s face, starting the car to leave...
As the car drove away, Wang Kefu still savored Dr. Lu’s last look, interpreting it as holding a slight appreciation for him.
"Yeah!" He clenched his fist tightly, feeling full of energy.
He promptly drove to the company, anxiously asking the receptionist as soon as he entered the lobby: "Has Little Gu arrived at the company yet?"
The receptionist shook her head: "Little Gu hasn’t come yet."
Wang Kefu came with great enthusiasm, but now he couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed. Just then, a slender figure leaned at the reception desk, "Uncle, are you looking for me?"
Wang Kefu was extremely excited, and went up to shake her hand: "Anxi, finally I’ve been looking forward to seeing you. Uncle doesn’t have anything else, just missed you."
Gu Anxi smiled, straightened up, and walked towards the elevator. Wang Kefu saw this and immediately chased after her: "Wait for me."
At the elevator, Gu Anxi glanced at the sweat on his forehead and smiled again: "Don’t just think about me, also think about your sweetheart at home. I heard that after you were hit, her child hasn’t been stable and has already gone to the hospital."
Yet Wang Kefu was still enjoying himself outside, truly... he didn’t care once he got it.
Wang Kefu didn’t think much of it, "She has your second aunt to accompany her. She’s just a delicate young girl, actually there’s nothing much to it. I usually see her quite sturdy."
After he said this, Gu Anxi had no more patience left. With her hands in her pockets, she looked up at the numbers, clearly not wanting to engage. Though she ignored him, Wang Kefu had more to say, becoming anxious.
Once Gu Anxi got off the elevator, he followed step by step. Gu Anxi smiled strangely: "Uncle, why are you following me?"
Wang Kefu followed her into the office, closed the door first, then smiled slyly: "Uncle is just here to check on you."
Gu Anxi poured a glass of water to drink, standing there silently. Wang Kefu chuckled and moved closer: "Anxi, Uncle has something to discuss with you."
"Is it still about the equipment factory?" Gu Anxi tilted her head, then holding her cup, walked to the sofa to sit down, placing the cup: "Haven’t we talked about this? It won’t work."
Wang Kefu immediately put on a flattering face and moved closer: "Anxi, how about giving Uncle some guidelines? Why not? Dr. Lu over there is very sincere and also quite urgent. We’re all acquaintances."
Gu Anxi glanced at him: "I’ve told you I also need it."
Wang Kefu opened his mouth wide: "So you’re firmly refusing?"
He slapped his forehead: "No way, Anxi, you came to Jiangcheng, took over Wang’s, made such a big move, it’s not just for the equipment factory, right?"
Gu Anxi took out her phone to play with, and hummed softly: "Uncle, you’re overthinking."
Wang Kefu wasn’t that foolish. Suddenly, he widened his eyes: "How is it? Uncle is overthinking it? Anxi, I finally understand, you’ve been calculating us all along. You say the equipment factory was built single-handedly by your uncle, right? It’s unique nationwide, and now you say you want to hold it in your hand. What, will we not get any say in the future?"
Gu Anxi said softly: "It’s Uncle busy with it."
She looked up and smiled gleefully: "Uncle doesn’t have any opinions though."
Wang Kefu pinched his nose: "That still makes him one of our own from the Wang Family."
"What, am I not one of our own?" Gu Anxi casually countered: "So, Uncle means I, as an outsider, can act on my own?"
She suddenly grinned: "If I am an outsider, I might not tolerate President Wang in the company."
Wang Kefu’s heart was truly caught off guard, his mouth hung open without words for a long time.
Gu Anxi changed her expression, "This matter is not open for discussion, Uncle should not interfere. If you help Lu Heng, then you are opposing Mr. Wang. Think carefully."
So serious?
Wang Kefu’s mouth was still agape, staring at Gu Anxi for a long time before he softened: "How does this relate to Mr. Wang? It’s just a matter of the equipment factory."
Gu Anxi gave him a look: "If it’s just a matter of the equipment factory, do you think my uncle, and Uncle Bo, and Lu Heng’s whole family, would all be in Jiangcheng? Is it because the scenery is nice in Jiangcheng or are we attracted by Uncle’s love story?"
Wang Kefu was shameless, scratching his head: "If you all hadn’t come, I might not have ended up with Wanqing."
Gu Anxi laughed: "Regret it?"
Wang Kefu felt even more uncomfortable: "Not really regret, just lost the excitement... Anyway, a good horse doesn’t turn back, besides your aunt has taken up with someone else."
Saying this he couldn’t help but pound his chest: "Anxi, it’s not Uncle saying this, but damn it, it’s infuriating, she had to follow a driver instead of being a decent wife..."
Looking regretful, like hating iron for not becoming steel.
Gu Anxi coldly retorted: "Does she still count as Mrs. Wang?"
Wang Kefu was stumped again, awkwardly trying to grin and salvage the situation after a while, but Gu Anxi didn’t want to talk to him anymore and waved him off to leave.
Once he left, Secretary Tang came in. Gu Anxi looked up, "Look into where President Wang went last night."
Secretary Tang was a bit puzzled, and Gu Anxi added: "He asked about the equipment factory’s issue as soon as he saw me, surely he’s met Lu Heng. Check if they’ve met."
Secretary Tang was efficient and quickly checked. The result was quite surprising.
