Chapter 114: Trouble in Magic City Right After Arrival
Living by the principle of immediate action, Lu Li set off for Magic City the next day, accompanied by a little maid in new clothes, pulling a large suitcase behind her. The contents were prepared by Cao Yingying and others, as Lu Li initially planned to buy everything new upon arrival in Magic City.
âHow could we do that? Itâs always better to use your own things. New purchases might not always suit your needs!â Cao Yingying hinted, her eyes full of deeper meanings! Are we not family now? Why speak in riddles?
Chen Xiaoyi didnât want to be left behind: âLu Brother, youâre unfamiliar with life in Magic City, and we wonât be by your side. Having things from home can make you feel more comfortable.â
There goes another riddler.
Isnât it just a way to remind me not to flirt around? Canât you just say it directly?
Lu Li knew Magic City like the back of his hand; after all, Li Zichuan lived there. Why did he often visit if not for Li Zichuan?
He didnât voice this thought, though. With two jealous women, they might even get jealous of Li Zichuan. That would be absurd.
Alright! Itâs normal for Chen Xiaoyi and Cao Yingying to feel jealous since one couldnât leave and the other was assigned tasks by Lu Li, and now, Lu Li was departing with You Meng.
Shaking his head helplessly, Lu Li gestured to You Meng to follow as he headed towards the airport exit.
You Meng, pulling the large suitcase, was filled with warmth. Magic City was where her dream with Lu Brother began, where she was abandoned and then found by Lu Brother and the matron.
So much had happened, but Lu Brother had always been there. This life, she wouldnât let anyone hurt him again.
âHa-ha-ha, Big Brother!â A hearty voice called out as Li Zichuan, holding two cups of milk tea, waved excitedly at Lu Li.
Lu Liâs lips curled up; there werenât many people in this world he cared about, but Li Zichuan was one of them.
âRegular sweet milk tea, damn, my taste suddenly changed, caught me off guard, man!â Handing a cup to Lu Li, Li Zichuan grumbled and gesticulated.
âThanks!â Lu Li took a sip through the straw, appreciating the perfect level of sweetness. He was no longer that pitiful lapdog who needed extra sugar to feel better.
âHey, you brought a girl with you? Whoâs this? You didnât give me a heads-up!â Li Zichuan eyed You Meng behind Lu Li, frowning.
This wasnât the same girl he saw last time he visited Hangzhou, was it? Had Lu Li started living it up after giving up on Zhang Ziqin?
âYou Meng, the one from the orphanage I mentioned before, who disappeared and has now come back,â Lu Li explained, gesturing slightly.
âOh, so youâre the little Meng!â Li Zichuanâs eyes lit up, waving at You Meng: âIâve heard a lot about you from Old Lu. Your disappearance really worried him.â
You Meng smiled lightly, nodding and giving Lu Li a tender look. So much had happened, but ultimately, there was a good outcome. She also knew about Li Zichuan, Lu Brotherâs best friend, who was the first to confront Ye Chen for revenge in Lu Brotherâs previous life.
âHey, hey, hey, keep your hands off her, okay!â Lu Li slapped Li Zichuan jokingly.
âDamn, what are you saying? Do I look like Iâd touch your woman? I donât have the damn legacy of Wei Wu; how could I touch your woman?â Li Zichuan glared fiercely at Lu Li, cursing under his breath.
âBut you really treat ladies like that, making them carry luggage?â Li Zichuan frowned, calling Lu Li out.
âMy little maid, doing some chores is none of your demon business!â Lu Li raised his eyebrows, looking somewhat proud.
âDamn, Lu Li, you bastard, showing off your Versailles syndrome here. And who are you calling a demon?â
âWhoever responds, I guess!â
âLuâLiââ
Watching the playful banter, You Mengâs eyes shimmered with warmth. Lu Brother was genuinely happy! And he even got jealous for her sake! Her heart raced with joy.
âIs everything arranged for our stay?â Lu Li casually asked as they walked out of the airport.
âNonsense, Iâm not heartless like you. Of course, everythingâs arranged. You and⊠You Meng can stay at my place for now, weâll figure out the rest later. I cleaned up a room for you.â Li Zichuan waved dismissively, clearly annoyed at Lu Li. fÉŸeewebnoveâ.coàč
That guy, when Li Zichuan visited Hangzhou, actually arranged for him to stay in a hotel. Heartless!
âStay at your place?â Lu Li frowned.
âWhatâs wrong?â
âWould your dad agree?â In his previous life, Lu Li hadnât seen much warmth from the head of the Li family towards him!
Li Zichuan scoffed disdainfully.
âPfft, my dadâs just a snob, looking down on the poor and sucking up to the rich. Knowing youâre in charge of the Lu family and Lu Corporation, he hinted, no, strongly hinted, that I should get closer to you.â
Li Zichuan had no respect for his fatherâs attitude. As a child, he didnât notice much, as his father seemed friendly enough to Lu Li. But as they grew and Lu Li didnât take over the Lu Corporation, his fatherâs attitude cooled. And now, he wanted Li Zichuan to rekindle their friendship.
The hypocrisy!
âSo, by calling your dad a snob, what does that make you? A little snob?â Lu Li teased.
Li Zichuan rolled his eyes at Lu Li: âYou bastard, picking fights with me?â
They laughed together, and then Lu Li gestured dismissively: âI wonât stay at your place. Arrange a hotel for me, a presidential suite. I donât want to put on airs with your dad.â
âReally not staying? You havenât been here for so long, my mom misses you.â
âI wonât go. Arrange a time tomorrow, and Iâll visit your aunt. Letâs not ruin our friendship over this.â
Thinking of his fatherâs behavior, Li Zichuan nodded solemnly, agreeing with Lu Li.
As they reached the airport entrance, a sharp voice suddenly pierced the air.
âIâve told you so many times, canât you stop pestering me? Havenât you had enough? Get lost, donât block my way.â
