Chapter 533: Delusion
Wu Qi did not want to hear any excuses from his son. He took a big gulp from the cup of tea in front of him to calm himself down and said, “Forget about it. You come back now. Don’t forget to take the access card with you. After that, we will go to Iris Time Villa together and I will talk to the owner myself!”
The reason Iris Time Villa was the safest location was due to its specific location.
Since there was rally racing training on Mount Qiu Ling at night, Wu Qi decided to go to Iris Time Villa in the afternoon after 1:00 pm.
At that time, the owner of the villa should have just finished his lunch and was taking a rest.
Wu Zhiheng did not dare to disobey his father. He went back to the hotel, and when they were on their way to Iris Time Villa, they b.u.mped into Chen Min, who had just picked her daughter up from school.
Chen Min was older than Xu Wei, but her daughter was only 11 years old. Right now, she was carrying a hefty bag on her back as she followed beside Chen Min.
Wu Qi stopped in his tracks. He was interested in befriending Chen Mei. After all, not only was Chen Mei a beauty, but her family background was good as well. Even though she had married once and she had a daughter, many people still went after her.
“Ms. Chen.”
“Mr. Wu.”
They both greeted each other and then Wu Qi withdrew his gaze from Chen Mei’s daughter. “I’ve been wanting to meet you up to discuss the business deal between us but I couldn’t find a suitable time due to several reasons, so are you free today?”
“You mean now?” Chen Mei frowned slightly.
“We can do it later if you’re not free right now, “Wu Qi said, “I heard that the owner of Iris Time Villa is back. I’ve gotten an access card from the Ouyang Family, so I’m going to pay a visit to the owner of the villa now.”
Since most of the Chen Family’s businesses were established on the street around the Lucky Cloud Pavilion, her family and her stayed in the residential area near the Lucky Cloud Pavilion, and it was no safer than the hotel where Wu Qi was staying.
As such, when she heard that Wu Qi was going to Iris Time Villa, she was interested.
After all, Mount Qiu Ling was large. If the owner of Iris Time Villa was willing to sell a part of the land to her, she wanted to build a villa for her daughter there as well.
After Chen Mei told Wu Qi her intention, he invited her to go to Iris Time Villa with him.
They all got into the limousine and headed to Mount Qiu Ling.
The limousine was s.p.a.cious. Other than Wu Qi and Chen Mei, there was also a team of secretaries inside the car right now.
The driver was driving up Mount Qiu Ling slowly due to the steepness of the mountain range.
Just when the secretary team was saying something, Wu Zhiheng noticed Fu Zhi and her family were climbing up Mount Qiu Ling.
Wu Qi noticed his son’s distraction, so he jabbed his elbow at Wu Zhiheng. “Hey! Pay attention to what Ms. Chen is talking about.”
“But dad, look, isn’t that Fu Zhi’s family? What are they doing here at Mount Qiu Ling?”
Wu Qi looked over in the direction of Wu Zhiheng’s finger, and he saw Lu Jingqing was carrying Xu Wei while Ye Jiu was carrying Fu Zhi. Both of the men were climbing up the mountain, while one woman was asking for kisses from her husband and another was playing with her phone.
Wu Qi did not know what to say.
Chen Mei and her daughter also saw Fu Zhi and her family as well. Chen Mei lifted her brows and asked, “Did they come for Iris Time Villa too?”
“Please don’t make me laugh, Ms. Chen. They would be taking a car instead of climbing the mountain on foot to meet the owner if they have the access card. I guess they snuck in when the staff at the foot of the mountain are not looking at them.”
“It is going to take more than an hour to reach Iris Time Villa by car, so n.o.body would walk up the mountain under normal circ.u.mstances.”
“This is so funny. Lu Jingqing has come to Myanmar for so many days, yet instead of working hard on how to select a jade stone to decrease losses, he spent all of his time with his wife. I’m sure he is going to lose all of his money this time.”
The secretaries chimed in one after another, expressing their disdain and contempt towards Lu Jingqing and his family.
After listening to what they had said, the way Chen Mei looked at Lu Jingqing had changed as well. Initially, she was infatuated with him because he portrayed himself as a successful, handsome businessman, but she snapped herself out after she realized that he was a man with no ambition.
For Chen Mei, a man without ambition and a man without money was worthless.
Wu Qi rolled the window down and greeted them, “Mr. Lu.”
Xu Wei raised her head up and replied, “Oh, hi, Mr. Wu!”
Wu Qi nodded at her and said, “What are you guys doing here?”
“Having a walk,’ Lu Jingqing replied flatly.
The smile on Wu Qi’s face broadened when he heard Lu Jingqing’s reply.
“You’re so funny, Mr. Lu. It’s fine for you to be candid with me. It’s not like I will laugh at you,” Wu Qi said, “Why don’t you all come in and I give you all a lift?”
Before Lu Jingqing could say anything, Fu Zhi poked her head out and said, “Okay.”
Fu Zhi did not have a lot of demands for a limousine. “But before I go into the car, you have to prepare two cushions for me. If you have a car air freshener, you have to get it out first because I’m allergic to air freshener. I used to take a whole row at the back, so all of you have to move away, and…”
She continued for 5 to 6 minutes straight.
Wu Qi was speechless.
‘What the h.e.l.l is wrong with her? Can’t she see that I’m just being polite? I don’t want to fetch you guys at all.’
With that thought in mind, Wu Qi got out of the car and walked up to Lu Jingqing, “Mr. Lu, I just remember that I have something else to do, so I can’t let you guys tag along. Besides, my car is almost full, so I hope you can understand. Also, since you guys are all here, I want to ask, have you found a husband for your daughter? I have a son and he’s pretty good in every aspect, so if you want, we can find time, sit down together, and discuss their marriage.”
It went without saying that Wu Qi was talking about his eldest son. There was no way he would let Wu Zhiheng marry Fu Zhi.
He was just testing Lu Jingqing and Xu Wei. After all, Xu Wei was naive.
There were two advantages if Fu Zhi really married his eldest son. First, since Fu Zhi could cure Lu Yushen, he was certain that she had a way to help his eldest son as well. Second, his eldest son was intellectually crippled, so the Ouyang Family would be happy as well.
He flashed a genial smile at Xu Wei and said, “What do you think?”
He was positive that Xu Wei would not explicitly turn down his offer even if she did not agree, but little did he expect that the moment he finished speaking, Xu Wei bristled up in rage and grabbed tightly at Lu Jingqing’s neck. “Mr. Wu, there’s still a difference between a dream and a delusion! I have the urge to scold people today, but I don’t want to scold you. So goodbye!”
She did not know why he had the audacity to ask them to marry their daughter to his son. Putting aside the fact that her daughter was still young, she did not like his son at all.
Not only Xu Wei and Lu Jingqing disagreed with the marriage, but even Ye Jiu did not agree as well.
He said, “You really are a great businessman, Mr. Wu, but I suggest you don’t wear a big hat that’s bigger than your head. You better don’t say that again, or else I’ll show you what it feels like to lay in bed for the rest of your life.
“Also, tell Wu Zhiheng that he looks a lot like the paper dog at my neighbor’s grandmother’s funeral.”
Wu Qi was stunned.
By the time he came around to his senses, he was so angry that his face turned red. “You… How dare you…”
“Stop! Zip it. Your voice is one of the sources of sound pollution, and I don’t want to hear another word out of your mouth. So keep your mouth shut, go back to your car, and perhaps if you have the chance, you should ask your mom to teach you the basic qualities of being a human.”
Just when Wu Qi was going to say something in return, Lu Jingqing chimed in, “I think you won’t take the words of a kid seriously, right, Mr. Wu? After all, you are a successful businessman.”
Wu Qi was stumped. He turned back to Lu Jingqing and snarled, “You can tell me if you don’t agree to the marriage, how can you let your son… Forget about it. Since you’ve made your decision, I hope you won’t regret it!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t regret a single word I said today,” Lu Jingqing replied.
‘Very well, then!”
Wu Qi harrumphed and went back into the car.
“Start the car. Let’s go to Iris Time Villa.”
He wanted to arrive at Iris Time Villa earlier than Lu Jingqing. In this way, he could ask the owner of the villa to chase Lu Jingqing and his family away.
Ye Jiu, who did not know about Wu Qi’s thoughts, smacked Fu Zhi’s leg and scolded, “I don’t understand why so many people like you although you’re so ugly.”
Fu Zhi was dumbfounded.
“What?”
Ye Jiu pinched at her leg and said again, “You’re so heavy. How much do you weigh? 200kg?”
Fu Zhi became speechless.
She thought about the food that she had been eating recently, and she had to admit that she had been eating a lot recently.
She took a mirror out and looked at herself. Other than looking a little chubbier, she was still a pretty little girl.
Fu Zhi let out a sigh of relief and she decided to eat another bowl of rice today.
Suddenly, Xu Wei turned her head around and said, “Zhizhi, there’s one thing that I’ve never told you about.”
Fu Zhi raised her head and looked at her.
Facing her daughter’s gaze, Xu Wei bit the bullet and said, “If a girl talks to a boy too much, she will get pregnant!”
Fu Zhi was stunned. Then, she said, “I’m 17 years old this year.”
If she was smaller, she might believe in Xu Wei, but now…
Ye Jiu lamented, “It’s too late, mom.”
Xu Wei, “Late is better than never!”
Her attempt to deceive Fu Zhi had failed. Xu Wei rested her chin on Lu Jingqing’s shoulder and said, “Well, I’m not a closed-minded mother. I just feel that falling in love while she’s still studying will affect her academic performance.”
Lu Jingqing added, “So we have to find a boyfriend with good family background, good grades, and good character. My requirements are low. I just hope that he doesn’t have any parents or relatives…”
Ten minutes later, just when Xu Wei thought Lu Jingqing had finished speaking, she clapped and exclaimed, “That’s brilliant, honey!”
“He needs to be a man with ambition, have a few houses in Yu City, have a good heart, wise, can help Zhizhi in her job, and he must not be too tall…”
