Chapter 3138: Big Boss Lu Can Anger People to Death
Lu Zhi looked away. He wasn’t smiling anymore. He asked coldly, “You want to cut ties with me for Ye w.a.n.gchuan?”
“It has nothing to do with him.” Qiao Nian frowned.
Lu Zhi’s eyes were cold and stubborn. “Then who does it have to do with? Aren’t you helping him everywhere because the Ninth Branch is his?”
Qiao Nian wished she could open his head and see what was inside. Her eyelids twitched twice, but she still insisted. “I told you, it has nothing to do with him!”
Lu Zhi stared at her without saying a word. It was obvious from his expression that he did not believe her.
Qiao Nian had already tried her best to suppress her burning anger. Seeing that he was not cooperating with her, she placed her hand on the table and knocked on it. Her tone was slightly deep. “Lu Zhi, we’ve known each other for so many years, I don’t want to fall out with you. However, Master Cheng is an exception. If you touch him, I’ll definitely pursue the matter to the end! Do you understand what I mean?”
“Is he that important?”
The man in the wheelchair spoke faintly after some time.
Qiao Nian looked at him.
There was no pretense on Lu Zhi’s face. It was as if he was exposing his true self to her. He did not want to wear any mask.
“Or I’ll put it another way.”
Lu Zhi picked up his coffee and took a sip. His slender fingers were well-defined, and his fingertips were fair. His movements were so elegant and charming. “Is the Ninth Branch so important to you? Is Country Z that important to you? Are these people more important than the three of us who risked our lives?”
He put down his coffee cup heavily and asked the girl, “If you can fall out with me for them, then what are we to you?”
“… You’re talking about two different things.” Qiao Nian understood. She held her forehead and explained patiently, “You’re different from Master Cheng, the Ninth Branch, and Country Z. There’s no need to compare.”
Lu Zhi narrowed his eyes. “Is that so?”
Qiao Nian frowned.
He gently stirred the coffee before suddenly raising his head. His gaze seemed like a vast starry sky that could suck people in. “I’m different from you. I’m used to comparing all of these together.”
Lu Zhi had not finished speaking when the screen of the phone on the table lit up.
It was Jian Jin calling.
He did not take it.
Qiao Nian reminded him, “You’re not picking up?”
“I know why she’s calling me. What’s there to answer?” Lu Zhi rejected the call and put the cell phone back down.
Jian Jin continued to call him persistently.
Lu Zhi did not hang up this time.
He looked at the number on his phone screen and then at the girl. He seemed to smile self- deprecatingly and did not need Qiao Nian to continue asking him.
He said, “I did arrange to meet Master Cheng.”
Qiao Nian looked at him.
Lu Zhi called the shop a.s.sistant and ordered a gla.s.s of lemonade for her. When the drink was delivered, he inserted the straw and pushed the gla.s.s to the girl. “Drink it.”
Qiao Nian sat up straight. She had an indescribable feeling when her fingertips touched the slightly cold gla.s.s.
Seeing that she was not too against him, Lu Zhi unhurriedly said, “I asked him out to discuss a collaboration and gave him the highest conditions that Tian Chen can offer. I asked him if he was willing to come to the illegal district to cooperate with me…”
He gave the location of Tian Chen’s other branch.
There were also a series of conditions for money and power.
Master Cheng could make any request.
