Chapter 55: I Don’t Want Anything From the Family
Lu Wang was puzzled. “What’s the point of doing this? Do you want to prove something? Or do you want to cut off the relationship between father and son with me after you turn 18?”
Xiang Xiaoyuan almost spat out a mouthful of soup. Was this a topic that she could listen to?!
Were these father and son treating her like a family member?
“No, I just want to earn my own living and support myself.”
A 16-17-year-old boy who had never been in society was proud and willful. He suddenly realized that the halo surrounding him was all given by his father. Without his father, he was nothing…
It was normal for him for not wanting to accept that.
He wanted to prove that he could live well without his parents, so he wanted to find a job and not rely on his parents.
Lu Bei saw that Lu Wanggui did not have any reaction, so he added, “I don’t want anything from the family from now on.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan: “? ? ?”
Child, don’t be impulsive!
Do you know how rich your father really is!
Lu Wanggui nodded calmly. “Okay.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan: “? ? ?”
No, can’t you two be a little more normal? A family fortune worth tens of billions was decided so easily?
Although Xiang Xiaoyuan ridiculed him, she didn’t really take their conversation seriously. Lu Wanggui only had Lu Bei as his son. If he didn’t give Lu Bei his family fortune in the future, would he have to donate it to society? There was also Lu Bei. He was young, frivolous, and spouting nonsense. When he entered society in the future and knew how hard it was to earn money, he would know how ridiculous his current words were.
He didn’t want the gold mountain but wanted to move bricks, as if he had a some serious illness.
Lu Bei was angered by Lu Wanggui’s calm reaction.He did not expect that the decision he made after tossing and turning all night would not stir up even the slightest ripple in Lu Wanggui’s heart.
Lu Bei’s expression gradually became gloomy. He put down his chopsticks and left the dining table before he finished eating.
Of course, Lu Wanggui was not as calm as he appeared to be. Otherwise, he would not be sitting on the sofa and staring at his phone in a daze.
Xiang Xiaoyuan had no idea what to do with this pair of father and son who were so awkward. She pretended to take something, she casually sat on the sofa next to Lu Wanggui and chatted. “Are you really going to let Lu Bei work at the construction site? The weather is so hot, his skin is so tender…”
It was difficult for Lu Wanggui to hide the tiredness between his brows. He took off his gold-rimmed glasses and wiped them gently. “He can go if he wants to. I respect his decision.”
It was not common for him to take off his glasses. At this moment, he raised his head and looked into her eyes. The two of them were so close that Xiang Xiaoyuan could easily see every detail of his face.
He had very attractive eyes and a straight nose. When he was young, many young girls must have had a crush on him. However, Xiang Xiaoyuan liked his current appearance even more. After being polished by time, he possessed a charm that others could not replicate. It was hard to tell if he was smiling with his eyes or not. Just by looking into his eyes, one could easily tell that he was not someone to be trifled with.
Of course, not all men had Lu Wanggui over time. Most men would only gain weight at Lu Wanggui’s age.
The so-called male maturity did not only refer to age, but also to the accumulation of intelligence, experience, and so on. Xiang Xiaoyuan could not resist mature, gentle, and elegant men. At this moment, there was no barrier of lenses. She directly looked into Lu Wanggui’s eyes, causing her to be immersed in them.
If Xiang Xiaoyuan’s willpower was a little weaker, or if she did not have so many experiences in her previous life, and lived a simpler life, she would definitely be completely infatuated with him.
In fact, before Xiang Xiaoyuan transmigrated into the novel, she had also met a man who was very similar to Lu Wanggui. They had almost gotten together. That man was a doctor who was thirty-six years old. Their meeting was like a scene from the movies. It was when she was traveling abroad. When she checked into the hotel, she had remembered the wrong room number, so the room key would not open the door no matter how many times she tried. An annoyed man on the phone opened the door. He had a calm temperament, the words that popped out of his thin lips let Xiang Xiaoyuan know that he might be a doctor.
Realizing that she had made a mistake in the room, Xiang Xiaoyuan quickly apologized to him and went back to the room next door that belonged to her. Coincidentally, that night, she felt sick from travelling. Additionally, it was hard for her to communicate with the front desk due to the language barrier. Then, she remembered that there was a doctor living next door. She did not know where she got the courage, but she put on a coat and went to knock on his door.
Perhaps it was because the other party was also Chinese, or perhaps she subconsciously felt that it was a doctor’s duty to treat patients and save people. She admired doctors.
After a while, she gradually became familiar with the man. He was also a tourist. Both of them were travelling alone. Occasionally, they would meet for dinner and go sightseeing. They had watched the sunset together and walked down every street.
Xiang Xiaoyuan could feel that he liked her. Coincidentally, she did not have a boyfriend at that time. It would be a good story if the two of them could really become a couple. However, adults did not stay flirtatious for too long, and the ability to control oneself was too strong. Before the two of them had officially established a relationship, the initial thrill of meeting disappeared.
