“This young brother?”
Fei Long’s expression immediately darkened. What was Luo Chen’s status?
“Did your elders not teach you how to speak properly?” Fei Long reprimanded directly.
“Try saying that again?” Upon hearing this, Lu Hao’s face instantly darkened. This was equivalent to calling him uneducated.
As the young master of the prestigious Lu family, always pampered by them, and the school bully of Qingteng High School, who dared to scold him like this?
“Young man, use your brain before you speak. Even your grandfather, Lu Heshan, would not dare to speak to me like this,” Luo Chen said in a deep voice. This Lu Hao indeed lacked upbringing.
“You…”
“Enough, Xiao Hao. This is Mr Luo, and he is also the one I am about to get engaged to,” Lu Shuixian said, though her tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction.
Naturally, her dissatisfaction was directed at Luo Chen. After all, Lu Hao was her younger brother and just a child. Luo Wuji, being at the peak of Huaxia, should not stoop to bicker with a child.
Although Lu Hao did not speak again, he gave a cold snort.
Instead, it was Lu Zihao on the side who spoke up.
“Mr Luo, Xiao Hao is still a child. Bickering with him is a bit…”
“A bit what?” Fei Long interrupted Lu Zihao directly.
“To put it bluntly, Mr Luo is already not holding it against him. Otherwise, given Mr Luo’s temper, the moment those words left his mouth, he would probably already be a dead man,” Fei Long sneered.
“That was in the past!” Lu Zihao also sneered. In the past, no one really dared to speak to Luo Chen like this, but what about now? Was Luo Wuji still the Luo Wuji of the past?
Moreover, Lu Zihao had always felt uncomfortable in his heart. Luo Wuji had fallen to the point of needing the Lu family’s protection, yet he still acted so arrogantly in front of the Lu family members?
“Enough, Zihao, say less,” Lu Shuixian said, silencing Lu Zihao, though she was not very happy inside either.
After all, Lu Hao was her cousin. Fei Long and Luo Chen speaking to him like that made her feel a bit embarrassed.
“Alright, Xiao Hao, do not take it to heart.”
“Mr Luo is Luo Wuji,” Lu Shuixian explained.
“I know, is he not just that former number one person in Huaxia who is now crippled?” Lu Hao said directly.
This made Fei Long frown, ready to explode, but Luo Chen signalled Fei Long to let it go.
Instead, Luo Chen stepped forward to help up the three beaten individuals.
The three teenagers were covered in injuries. Luo Chen gave an instruction, telling Fei Long to call an ambulance.
“Thank you,” one of the boys, who looked quite shy, thanked Luo Chen, and then pulled his two companions away.
“Sister Shuixian, is this my future brother-in-law?” Lu Hao pulled Lu Shuixian aside and muttered.
“Look at him, his elbow bends outwards,” Lu Hao said.
“I am not satisfied with this brother-in-law at all. So what if he is Luo Wuji?”
“I heard he is already a cripple now, and many famous mountains and major cultivation families on the internet want to kill him. If he becomes my brother-in-law, would that not be bringing trouble to our Lu family?” Although Lu Hao was in his third year of high school, he was not actually that young.
Naturally, he had his own judgement.
“This is Grandpa’s arrangement, so let us not interfere,” Lu Shuixian sighed helplessly.
“I do not know what Grandpa is thinking. Look at him, and then look at you, Sister. You are so beautiful. You two do not match at all when walking together.”
“Just based on appearance, he is not worthy of you,” Lu Hao said, rolling his eyes.
Lu Shuixian blinked her bright eyes, but the words on the tip of her tongue were ultimately left unspoken.
“Alright, stop talking. Let us find a place to get a drink,” Lu Shuixian said, pulling Lu Hao and the others towards the cafe opposite the school.
Luo Chen and Fei Long also walked over.
After the group sat down, they ordered a few cups of coffee.
“Is it not your birthday? How are you planning to celebrate?” Lu Shuixian asked.
“Naturally, I will invite all my classmates and then hold a super luxurious birthday banquet,” Lu Hao said with great justification.
“After all, I am the number one figure in our school. I cannot be shabby, can I?” Lu Hao said arrogantly.
“Alright, no problem. Sister agrees to this,” Lu Shuixian said, smiling and patting Lu Hao’s head. In her view, he was her younger brother and a member of the Lu family, so celebrating his birthday on such a grand scale was only right.
People of the Lu family were born to be superior to others and should be the centre of attention wherever they went.
“Hehe, Sister Shuixian, there is one more thing. I want to take this opportunity during my birthday to confess to a girl I like.”
“No problem. Whose daughter is she?”
“If you cannot handle it, do you not still have your sister?” Lu Shuixian continued, showing a completely doting attitude.
“She likes someone else, our class monitor, Qin Zheyu. But this kid has no background, no ability, and is not as handsome as me,” Lu Hao said unconvinced.
Actually, Lu Hao was not telling the truth. The person he wanted to confess to was the school beauty of Qingteng High School, Yu Mengmeng.
And Yu Mengmeng did not just like the class monitor Qin Zheyu; she was fundamentally already that class monitor’s girlfriend.
How could Lu Shuixian not hear this? But so what if she did?
Her own younger brother wanted to steal someone else’s girlfriend. Was she really going to stop him?
Only Fei Long frowned. In fact, everyone present heard it, and then Fei Long looked at Luo Chen.
However, Luo Chen did not mind, because this was a family matter of the Lu family, and Luo Chen definitely would not ask too many questions.
But Lu Hao being pampered to this extent would sooner or later suffer a great loss.
“Have you chosen the hotel?” Lu Shuixian asked.
“How about going to the Royal Number One, the most luxurious hotel in Wuzhou?” Lu Zihao suggested.
Royal Number One was the most luxurious and highest class hotel in Wuzhou.
Luo Chen was slightly surprised, because this Royal Number One was actually under his banner. Previously, Shen Yuelan had built a massive business empire, and Royal Number One was a chain hotel nationwide.
Later, Shen Yuelan handed the business over to the Shen family. After the Shen family was destroyed, Luo Chen took back all the businesses under Shen Yuelan and handed them over to Master Zhang to manage.
However, Luo Chen did not mention this, because he only cared about collecting money. As for many things under him, Luo Chen himself was still a bit unclear about them even now.
“Royal Number One is great. Many big shots in Wuzhou go there,” Lu Hao said, smiling immediately upon hearing this.
Royal Number One was truly famous in Wuzhou. Only big shots from all walks of life could afford to go there, because not only was the consumption high, but it was also a symbol of identity and status. If he could hold his birthday banquet there, it would definitely give him face.
“That hotel is indeed excellent. I also really want to go and see it. I heard the consumption is very high,” Lu Zihao also chimed in. Their Lu family was a cultivation family, but that did not mean they were very wealthy.
That Ferrari of Lu Hao’s was bought for him by Lu Heshan and Lu Chuan using their savings.
“Alright, notify your classmates tomorrow. Sister will help you prepare a gift. Whatever you need, just say it. As for that girl, you just need to confess generously tomorrow,” Lu Shuixian concluded directly.
“Leave the rest to your sister.”
