The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise Chapter 507
Advertisement
"They are from a normal elite family in Yu City, China. Well, you could say that they are my distant relatives, but we don't meet up so often. The guy's name is Lu Jingqing, and the woman is his wife. Her name is Xu Wei," Wu Qi replied as he chided Chen Mei for her shamelessness inwardly. He had been entertaining this woman for many days, attending to each of her demands, and yet she had been giving him the cold shoulder. However, her eyes glowed and her attitude changed the moment she saw Lu Jingqing.
'Just because he's good-looking, you like him more? No wonder your previous marriage failed. You really are one insatiable woman!'
"Since they are your relatives, it must be fate that brought you all together in a foreign land." Chen Mei then added, "Let's go say hi then."
Wu Qi did not want to refuse, so he nodded.
Upon noticing them, Wang Rao turned and reported, "Mr. Lu, I think someone is looking for you."
Lu Jingqing raised his head, and it was only then that Chen Mei saw his face clearly.
Honestly, Lu Jingqing and his family were a bunch of good-looking folks. Although Xu Wei was a mature woman, people might believe it if she told them that she was a 20-year-old girl. As for Lu Jingqing, he was suave, polished, and charming.
Lu Jingqing had made contact with Wu Qi several times in the past.
"Mr. Lu." Wu Qi greeted him as he stuck his hand out to exchange a handshake with Lu Jingqing. Then, he introduced Chen Min to Lu Jingqing. "This is Ms. Chen, the daughter of the Lucky Cloud Pavilion's boss."
With a smile on her face, Chen Min adjusted her scarf to expose her fair skin and extended her hand. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Lu."
Lu Jingqing looked at her hand. Her nails were painted a flashing scarlet color. He looked back at her but he did not take her hand. With a smile, he said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Chen. My wife runs the house."
Xu Wei crunched on the candy in her mouth and tickled Lu Jingqing's palm with a smile on her face.
Chen Min's smile froze, while the smile on Wu Qi's face grew wider when he saw Lu Jingqing reject Chen Min. Then, he said, "Ha ha ha! It's good that you consider your wife's feelings, but Ms. Chen just wanted to shake your hand. Don't you think it's not very gentlemanly of you to reject a woman like that?"
"It's okay," Chen Min said as she pulled her hair behind her ears. "I like a man who takes care of his wife the most. I'm sure Mrs. Lu must have something special about her to make Mr. Lu love her so much."

After saying that, she turned to Xu Wei and extended her hand. "I graduated from a top university. Stone gambling aside, I also own a martial arts school, so come and have some fun when you're free. By the way, I wonder what you know? Do you mind telling me? Perhaps we can learn from each other."
Xu Wei was speechless.
What did Xu Wei know? She knew how to eat and she could finish two bowls of rice in one meal. She had one daughter and three sons. All of them were good kids, and her family was blissful. However, she had not done very well academically and she was not a great fighter.
Xu Wei went closer to Lu Jingqing uneasily. Lu Jingqing patted her shoulder and helped her answer. "My wife doesn't like to talk to strangers. We met each other when we were still studying at university."
It was just that Lu Jingqing had been studying the best major, while Xu Wei had been admitted into a third-tier university. The two of them had been brought together by fate.
Chen Min pressed her lips tightly when she saw how protective Lu Jingqing was of Xu Wei. Then, Wu Qi led her to a seat and asked deliberately, "Did you come to Myanmar alone, Mrs. Lu?"
"Nope. I came with my son," Xu Wei answered. "Oh yeah, my daughter is here too."
"So your entire family is here? Well, that's great," Wu Qi said as he took a sip of his tea. "Have you found a safe place for your family? If not, I can show you a few options."
It went without saying that Lu Jingqing had found a place for his family. It was a cheap and cheerful place. Lu Jingqing spun his head sideways and took a look at Wang Rao, who had a conflicted expression on his face right now.
Although the security guards gave off a strange vibe, they did their job excellently and nothing strange had happened so far.
Meanwhile, Xu Wei was kind of curious about the thing Wu Qi had said, so she asked, "A safe place?"
"That's right. Things have been pretty dangerous here, so it's better for you foreigners to stay in a safe place. Iris Time Villa has the best security system in Myanmar, and the total value of the villa is almost 160 million."
Xu Wei felt that the name of the villa was familiar, but she could not remember where she had seen it, so she just stopped thinking about it.
However, Lu Jingqing did not seem like he wanted to talk to Wu Qi at all, and Xu Wei thought it was not nice to leave Wu Qi hanging. Since her husband did not want to socialize, Xu Wei figured that she should step up to the task. With that thought in mind, she nodded and said, "Really? It's so expensive. I'm sure the people living inside must be very happy."

Wang Rao did not know what he should say.
'So there are really women who don't know that they're living in a blissful world?'
Xu Wei snuggled up to Lu Jingqing as she tried to continue the conversation with Wu Qi to prove that she was not useless.
Chen Mei was glancing contemptuously at Xu Wei from across the room. She felt that Xu Wei was really ignorant. Although she had never been to Iris Time Villa herself before, she had heard about it and knew how much it was worth. However, Xu Wei acted just like a country bumpkin who had entered the city for the first time, and it was really embarrassing.
She shook her head and turned her attention to Lu Jingqing. She had to say that Lu Jingqing was one of the best-looking men she had ever seen. His suaveness and charisma made him stand out from the other successful people his age.
She had no idea why but she had an urge to conquer him.
Thus, she deliberately bent down and touched the diamond laces of her black high heels. The white scarf slipped off her shoulder, and one could see the view beneath her clothes.
After doing that, she raised her head and looked shyly at Lu Jingqing.
However, Lu Jingqing was wiping off cream from the corner of Xu Wei's mouth with a napkin. He was not looking at her at all.
Chen Mei was speechless.
Wu Qi had not noticed Chen Mei's actions and continued his conversation with Xu Wei. "My son has come to Myanmar too, but unlike your daughter, he is not here on vacation. He's going to talk to the owner of Iris Time Villa about letting us move in. I heard that the owner of Iris Time Villa has returned, and I'm sure that they must be discussing it right now."
Although Xu Wei did not know why Wu Qi wanted to tell her about his son, she still replied, "Really? He's such a good son."
Wang Rao felt hopeless. He could not hold himself back anymore and sent a message to Shen Cizhou. [Boss, am I really not allowed to tell Mrs. Lu that Ms. Fu is the owner of Iris Time Villa? I really have had enough of this man known as Wu Qi. He's so normal yet so full of himself!]
Wu Qi did not know about Wang Rao's thoughts. He nearly could not contain the smile on his face as he continued to speak. "I will help you guys put in a good word after we move in. I'm not flexing, but as parents, we only want our kids to be successful, right, Mrs. Lu? You don't have to be so envious of me. Perhaps you should make your kids work harder. Who knows, they might be able to buy Iris Time Villa one day..."
"Ah? I don't need my kids to work hard," Xu Wei said. "After all, they have us to take care of them. Even after we pass away, their father will leave them enough money for them to spend for the rest of their lives."
Lu Jingqing was tickled pink by Xu Wei's comment. His gaze became even gentler, and he really wanted to hug her right now.
Wang Rao was truly moved by Lu Jingqing and Xu Wei's relationship. He then pulled his phone out and recorded a video.
Wu Qi was well versed in dealing with people whose status was not as prominent as his own. Plus, Xu Wei kept responding to everything he said, so his ego grew larger and larger. "A stone gambling bigshot who is recognized by a few elite families in the capital is coming to Myanmar as well. I will ask her to help me this time. I wonder how well you have prepared, Mr. Lu? You have to be careful, or you might lose all your money!"
Wang Rao then ended the recording and sent it to Fu Zhi.
Fu Zhi opened the video. After she watched the whole thing, she just let out a sneer without making a comment.
'Lose all your money? You should have kept that to yourself.'
[Things have been getting really dangerous lately, so please help me take care of them. Shen Cizhou said that he is going to give you a pay raise,] Fu Zhi replied to Wang Rao.
[Don't worry, Ms. Fu. I will do my best! By the way, there has been a rally competition from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Mount Qiu Ling lately. Things get a little chaotic, so if you want to eat something, you can let me know now. I will bring it back for you.]
Fu Zhi told him that she wanted some milk tea and then looked at the game interface on her computer.
