Chapter 726: Mingyue Enters the Lord's Heart (59)
Pan Mingyue’s birthday party was very lively.
It was also an important indication of her status in the Lu family.
After lunch, Qin Ran was about to go back.
Mother Lu and Father Lu personally sent her out.
Second Uncle Lu followed the crowd. His guard had calmed down a little after seeing Shi Liming, but he had completely lost his voice after seeing Qin Ran.
It wasn’t until she left that the guard let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Lu Zhaoying took Qin Ran to the car and conscientiously told Cheng Mu not to let her drive.
Cheng Mu sat in the driver’s seat and looked up at him. “Master Juan asked me to ask you, is the wedding date settled?”
“I’ll go to Beijing University’s base later, and then return to Ninghai Town in two days.” Lu Zhaoying thought for a while and then asked Qin Ran, “Is Big Brother Song in the base?”
Qin Ran already knew that he would find Song Luting. “Go earlier.”
“Okay.” Lu Zhaoying closed the car door for her. “Drive slowly.”
Recently, Song Luting had been very busy with Giant Crocodile. Today, Giant Crocodile had also dragged him to do experiments, so he was stuck at Beijing University’s base.
Lu Zhaoying stood there and waited for the car to drive away.
Then, he turned back and prepared to talk to Song Luting about Pan Mingyue.
He knew that for Pan Mingyue, she had two relatives who weren’t real relatives. They were Qin Ran and Song Luting.
Lu Zhaoying only left when almost all the guests had left, leaving a few who were on closer terms with the Lu family, such as Second Uncle Lu and Gu Mingsheng.
“I’m going out to do something.” He sat on the armrest of the sofa and draped his hands around Pan Mingyue’s shoulders.
He didn’t tell her that he was going to find Song Luting.
Mother Lu waved him away. “Go.”
Then, she held Pan Mingyue’s hand. “Mingyue, Mr. Shi helped you plant the flowers already. Let’s go and see.”
While talking, she took her to the flower room.
Lu Zhaoying and Father Lu were left sitting on the sofa. They exchanged glances, and Father Lu said to him, “Useless.”
Lu Zhaoying looked up at him. “You too.”
They exchanged tired glances.
Lu Zhaoying directly took the car key and drove to Beijing University’s base, wanting to talk to Song Luting about Pan Mingyue.
…
In the flower room.
The gardener was bending down and carefully trimming the refurbished soil. The staff beside him looked at him curiously. “Sir, didn’t you say that you won’t help to plant the flowers? It has been several hours, and you haven’t even had lunch.”
The gardener: “… Shut up.”
He stood up with the small shovel and looked up to see Pan Mingyue and Madam Lu coming in.
“Madam, Miss Pan.” He quickly greeted them, his eyes resting on Pan Mingyue.
Madam Lu saw that the leaves of the newly planted flowers were a little wilted, and she asked Pan Mingyue worriedly, “Can this flower live?”
Pan Mingyue smiled gently. “Yes, with Cheng Mu’s improvement, it’s easy to cultivate it. I was on a business trip before and didn’t water it for a week, but it was alright.”
Song Luting’s house also had two pots of this flower.
Pan Mingyue really liked the beautiful colors of this flower.
Bam—
The shovel fell from the gardener’s hand.
Madam Lu looked at him in surprise. “What’s the matter?”
The gardener’s mouth trembled. “Nothing…”
“But the flowers have to be changed every two months, so it’s a little troublesome. I didn’t want it originally. Auntie, if you find it too troublesome, just tell me, and I’ll ask them not to send it next month.” Pan Mingyue thought for a moment.
She heard that this flower was newly researched by Cheng Mu and Lin Siran’s father, but she and Qin Ran had the same views and couldn’t tell the difference, just that it was a little easier to grow.
“It’s okay, it’s not troublesome. I’ll help you grow the flowers in the future, you can just do your own things.” Madam Lu smiled.
She didn’t notice the gardener’s legs soften again.
Nodding, Pan Mingyue chatted a while more with her and then left to get something.
After she left, the gardener glanced at Madam Lu and said with difficulty, “Madam, I think we should install a surveillance camera in the garden.”
“Whatever for?” Madam Lu laughed. “The security here isn’t good enough?”
Madam Lu was naturally confident about her house’s security. This was a special compound, and although it wasn’t as secure as the Qin family’s military defenses, it was still a dozen times better than the ordinary community.
There was no need for surveillance cameras.
“Take a look at this.” The gardener silently showed her a press release he just found.
Two minutes later.
Madam Lu: “Get in touch with someone who can install surveillance cameras here.”
…
The butler was originally going to drive Pan Mingyue, but upon hearing that she was leaving, Gu Mingsheng raised his keys and shouted, “Sister-in-law, I’ll drive you!”
The butler turned around and saw Gu Mingsheng inviting Pan Mingyue into his car like a lackey.
Since there were still a few people in the house, he thought for a while and decided not to fight with him.
In the car.
Gu Mingsheng glanced at the rearview mirror and drove the car onto the road. “Where to, Sister-in-law?”
“The black street,” she replied politely.
The black street was very famous in Beijing, so Gu Mingsheng also knew it. He turned the steering wheel and drove while chatting with her. “Sister-in-law, are you familiar with God Qin?”
“Yeah.”
Gu Mingsheng’s eyes lit up. “Then, have you heard of the God cards?”
Although Pan Mingyue didn’t play games much, she knew what he was talking about. “You can play with my account.” She smiled.
“Thank you, Sister-in-law!” With wind at his feet, Gu Mingsheng stepped on the accelerator.
They soon reached the black street.
He carefully parked the car at the intersection and looked around. There was almost nobody out and about, and it was eerily quiet. He couldn’t help but rub his arms and mutter, “What’s going on here?”
Then, he turned around and said, “Sister-in-law, be careful. Keep your phone turned on, I’ll wait for you here.”
Pan Mingyue originally wanted him to leave first, and she would get a taxi back. But seeing that he refused to leave, she thought about it and simply said, “You can come with me.”
Recently, Giant Crocodile had provoked his rival, Augustus. Before he could cut off Augustus’s head for Cheng Ziyu to play with, the man had come to his door first.
Thus, the black street hadn’t been peaceful recently. In order to avoid hurting the innocent, Cheng Juan had directly sealed off the place, leaving only 129’s men.
He Chen had come here more than once to destroy the bombs.
