PLTRSC Chapter 58

 

The restaurant that Lu Yinghuai booked was in the shopping mall downstairs from Xie Zan’s laboratory.

It was ranked high among the documents compiled by Fang Mu before.

Before leaving, Lu Yinghuai picked up the two little creatures, one in each hand, with a kind smile on his face: “You two stay at home.”

Jiang Tang was held by him and looked back worriedly: “Are they hungry? What do they want to eat?”

Lu Yinghuai closed the door with his backhand and replied in a very nonchalant tone: “Huh? Maybe he eats cat food? Let’s go buy two bags after dinner, Tang Tang, don’t worry.”

“Yeah.” Lu Yinghuai’s embrace was so warm, and the smell of pheromones lingered. Jiang Tang felt dizzy and wanted to agree to whatever Lu Yinghuai said.

Sang Song liked Jiang Tang very much, so he was disgusted by Lu Yinghuai’s behavior of using pheromones to deceive Jiang Tang, and rolled his eyes at him.

While eating, Jiang Tang’s legs felt itchy. He looked down and saw that the two little things that Lu Yinghuai had left at home appeared beside his legs and were rubbing them with their little heads.

Jiang Tang felt that Lu Yinghuai didn’t like them very much, so he stole a glance at Lu Yinghuai’s expression. Seeing that he was still concentrating on peeling shrimps for him, he felt relieved and reached his hand under the table and gently touched the head of the little light ball.

Lu Yinghuai paused and looked at Jiang Tang somewhat unnaturally.

Jiang Tang didn’t know that when he stroked the light ball, it was equivalent to rubbing Lu Yinghuai’s hair. Lu Yinghuai put the peeled shrimp meat in Jiang Tang’s bowl and crossed his legs calmly.

Xie Zan noticed his action and swallowed the grilled fish in his mouth hard.

A sour smell of love!

When they came out of the restaurant, they ran into a group of high school students.

Jiang Tang recognized Chen Yuan among them at a glance.

Chen Yuan, who had been the center of attention before, followed behind the group of people in a somewhat flattering manner this time, trying to join in the conversation but was unable to get a word in.

He hung his head in frustration and took a few steps before being blocked by a wheelchair.

He was startled and looked up from Jiang Tang’s white shoes. His face gradually turned from white to red and then back to white. In the end, only the eye sockets on his pale cheeks were red.

Chen Yuan met Jiang Tang’s calm gaze, opened his mouth as if to say something, but finally swallowed it back in anger. Then he walked around them and tried to leave.

“Wait.” Chen Yuan had just taken two steps when Lu Yinghuai grabbed the back of his collar and threw him forward without any mercy, in front of Jiang Tang.

Chen Yuan raised his head tremblingly, only to see Lu Yinghuai raising his chin arrogantly: “Kid, do you have to apologize to my Omega?”

His voice was no longer full of the usual light teasing, it was as if it was soaked in ice, making people shudder. His black eyes were filled with an icy blue light, fixed firmly on Chen Yuan. It was clearly the season of spring, and he was clearly in a shopping mall with a suitable temperature, but he felt like he was in an ice cellar.

Jiang Tang remembered that Lu Yinghuai had once called him “little friend”. That voice was like melting snow, full of tenderness and indulgence, completely different from the cold “little kid” just now.

Chen Yuan looked at Sang Song and Xie Zan. Sang Song frowned slightly and turned to ask Xie Zan: “Who is this person?”

Xie Zan leaned over and whispered something to him, and Sang Song’s face showed obvious disgust.

Xie Zan just stood aside as if it had nothing to do with him, and had no intention of being brave enough to stop his brother from “bullying” the child.

“What is Chen Yuan doing?”

The group of high school students not far away looked over here. The ruffian little Alpha who led them took out his phone and searched for something, then looked at Lu Yinghuai: “Isn’t that the prince of the Lu family?”

After he finished speaking, the people who were with him recalled the previous farce.

Chen Yuan was terrified, but he was a high school student with a strong sense of self-esteem. He was not afraid of tigers and said with his neck stiff, “Have you forgotten? My father is your brother’s lifesaver.”

“Oh, so what?” Lu Yinghuai finally put on a cold smile.

If Chen Yuan had a little bit of insight into Lu Yinghuai’s facial expressions, he would have known that Lu Yinghuai was even more unhappy than before, but he just didn’t have the tact to do that.

“I didn’t make any big mistakes,” Chen Yuan obviously didn’t want to lose face in front of his colleagues again, “Compared to your brother’s life, other trivial matters are not worth mentioning, right?”

He thought that the top Alpha would definitely have such a broad mind.

Maybe if it were someone else, they would really not bother to care, but Lu Yinghuai was an exception.

Jiang Tang is an exception for Lu Yinghuai.

“Wait a moment.” Lu Yinghuai was polite and elegant. He took out his cell phone, searched for the number and dialed it.

“Hello? Brother?” A hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, as if the person was woken up from his sleep.

“Qingyou.”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds. When he spoke again, the person seemed to be much more sober: “What’s wrong, brother?”

Lu Qingyou and Lu Yinghuai’s relationship was not bad, they were polite but distant to each other. Ever since something happened, Lu Yinghuai always called him by his full name, and he didn’t dare to get close to Lu Yinghuai.

Compared with him, Lu Yinghuai values Lu Danchen’s younger brother more.

So at this moment, when Lu Qingyou heard Lu Yinghuai’s call, he even lost his sleep.

“Butler Chen, do you still remember?” Lu Yinghuai’s unhurried voice reached Lu Qingyou’s ears, “The one who caught you when you were a child and then broke his own bone.”

He described it so clearly, how could Lu Qingyou not remember it? He said with a slightly annoyed tone: “Of course I remember. The person who caused my differentiation to be interrupted.”

Lu Yinghuai’s phone was playing loudly, so of course other people heard what he said.

Lu Yinghuai looked at Chen Yuan with a warm face: “Do you understand? My brother could have differentiated into S-level in one go, but because your father interrupted him on his own initiative, he has now differentiated into A+. I have done my best by not asking you for compensation, do you understand?”

High-level differentiation is often accompanied by behaviors that seem outrageous to the public.

Lu Qingyou was upset by the pheromones at that time, and wanted to challenge his limits at every turn. So jumping off the building was part of his differentiation. As long as he jumped, he would not be injured and could complete the differentiation smoothly.

As a result, Butler Chen appeared out of nowhere and took over his fight. Lu Qingyou was afraid of something going wrong so he used his undifferentiated pheromones to help Butler Chen, causing him to be downgraded to an A+ Alpha.

If it weren’t for the profit he made, it would be unknown whether Butler Chen would still be alive today.

The reason why he was kept was entirely because his intention was good.

“No, it’s not like that…” Chen Yuan took a few steps back and shook his head repeatedly, “That’s not what my dad told me… You’re lying…”

His eyes were red, and he shouted at the top of his voice: “You are lying!!”

Lu Yinghuai remained unmoved.

Lu Qingyou was laughing sullenly on the other end of the phone.

He didn’t laugh out loud, but his breathing was extremely unstable.

Lu Yinghuai said he was “my brother”!

Damn, I was so happy that I might not be able to sleep, and I might even want to go out for a few laps.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Qingyou asked after laughing.

“It’s nothing, just come back early if you’re okay…” Lu Yinghuai said.

Before Lu Qingyou had time to be moved, Lu Yinghuai added the second half of the sentence: “Come back and take over the company.”

“…Thank you, brother. I want to study for another two years.” Lu Qingyou said and hung up the phone.

It was a close call. I almost inherited the family business.

Chen Yuan was still screaming in front of him, looking like he couldn’t accept the blow.

But Jiang Tang and the other three looked at him with the same calm eyes, as if they were waiting for the person who was pretending to be crazy to finish.

He realized that this trick could not fool the person in front of him, so he stopped and sobbed: “I’m sorry, but I didn’t destroy anything there, I just wanted to have some fun.”

“Cup.” Jiang Tang, who had been silent the whole time, said calmly.

“A cup…” Chen Yuan thought for a moment and stammered, “A cup was broken, but it was a…”

Lu Yinghuai disdained to use pheromone oppression on a child. He looked down at the top of Jiang Tang’s head and felt that even the whorls in her hair were cute.

Then he noticed that Jiang Tang’s hands were tightly gripping the handle of the wheelchair, his knuckles were white, as if he was suppressing his anger.

“Don’t delay our time.” Lu Yinghuai squatted down and held Jiang Tang’s hand in his palm.

The impatience in his voice could not be suppressed, as if it would explode at any time, frightening Chen Yuan so much that his knees softened and he knelt on the ground: “It was just a very ordinary cup… I’m sorry, I will compensate you… I didn’t mean it…”

At that moment he even forgot that he was not the one who broke the cup.

Jiang Tang stared at him for a while and sighed: “Forget it.”

Chen Yuanqiang’s “self-esteem” had collapsed. He knelt down and begged: “I am too vain… It’s all my fault, can you please not fire my dad…”

Only then did Jiang Tang know that Butler Chen had been fired.

It was easy to imagine that after developing the habit of being overambitious and under-capable in the Lu family, no one would be willing to hire such a housekeeper once he leaves the Lu family.

“My family still has debts to pay off… Can you please not ask my dad to pay for it…”

It was too much for Uncle Chen to let the children bring people to his house to make trouble, but in the eyes of Lu Yinghuai who regarded them as ants, it was just a trivial act of a jumping clown.

Originally, he wouldn’t care. It’s not because he was magnanimous, but because he simply didn’t take the other person seriously.

In his past, he would have kicked the person out at most, as he didn’t need that little bit of compensation. This time he made an exception purely because Jiang Tang had been wronged.

Jiang Tang suddenly felt relieved.

His cup was important, but isn’t Butler Chen’s job also important?

He would not act like a saint and persuade Lu Yinghuai to let Butler Chen go, nor did he want to embarrass a high school student because of that cup.

Although the high school student was not much younger than him.

“Let’s go.”

Lu Yinghuai pushed the wheelchair with one hand and used his mobile phone with the other hand to search for additional meanings of “cup”.

He doesn’t usually watch TV series or watch videos online. These things are not part of his thought system.

But he could see that Jiang Tang cared a lot, and this care was more than just care for an ordinary gift.

So when he found out that the homonym of cup is “一生” (a lifetime), he stopped and said to Sang Song and Xie Zan, “You go first, I’ll buy something.”

He pushed Jiang Tang back and said, “Baby, let’s go pick out another pair of cups, okay?”

Jiang Tang didn’t even think about buying it again.

“I don’t want to use a solitary cup,” Lu Yinghuai said, “I want to use a couple’s cup with my baby.”

Now he knew what that meant.

The meaning that he would have thought was ridiculous before was now equally important to him.

If that was Jiang Tang’s comfort before, it was his comfort now.

Jiang Tang didn’t know.

There were two lives between them.

Jiang Tang’s cup broke, leaving behind his cup.

Jiang Tang gave up his life to save him.

So what was broken was his and Jiang Tang’s previous life, and he wanted a pair of complete cups.

He and Jiang Tang had a complete life now.
