"I was being overly sensitive. I saw Mr. Guo go to the side, surely he wasn't scared away by me?" Zhu Zilu asked.
"Not at all. He called my brothers down to eat. As he mentioned earlier, these guys haven't eaten since last night."
"Your brothers are quite something. Knowing you're getting married tomorrow, they still managed to mess up your new house."
"My brothers are roughnecks, they don't care about such details. You don't understand them."
"I'm sorry, I think I said the wrong thing."
"It's alright. They really are roughnecks, they don't notice these things and they don't overthink them," Lu Liang replied.
Zhu Zilu understood that Lu Liang was hinting at something. She realized she might have overstepped. They had only known each other for less than an hour, and she had already asked to be the bride. Even a storyteller wouldn't dare to weave such a tale. She knew that haste makes waste, and if she wanted to get close to the hidden tycoon Guo Xuyang, offending Lu Liang was out of the question.
"I don't know what's gotten into me today. I keep saying the wrong thing. Please don't take it to heart."
"It's nothing. I see they've finished their work. If you're free, shall we have dinner together tonight?"
"Yes, let's go together. I need to pour Mr. Guo a couple of drinks during dinner to thank him for this opportunity. I won't have to worry about finding a car anymore."
"Yangzi won't be involved in this matter. It will have to be handed over to Xiao Yun. He's swamped with work right now and has no time for these small things."
"For someone who can casually give away four hundred million, these matters are truly trivial. Regardless, meeting you is a form of destiny. I hope Mr. Lu can put in a good word for me with Mr. Guo."
"You're not serious about him, are you? He's not picky about food. With your qualifications, it's not impossible for him to marry you. However, you'll have to be patient. Otherwise, I can't say these words to him. It wouldn't do for you to harm yourself and others."
"You don't know my situation, and that's understandable. I'm not married yet. I've dated a few boyfriends, but none of them reached the point of marriage talks. Perhaps it's because my standards are too high, which is why I haven't found the right one yet," Zhu Zilu whispered to Lu Liang.
"When we go to dinner later, I'll introduce you to him. As for whether he truly wants to take you in, that will depend on your own abilities."
"Thank you, Mr. Lu."
As they spoke quietly, the rainbow arch was fully erected. Xiao Qi and the others also drove out.
"You guys go back first. Mr. Lu and I have some things to discuss," Zhu Zilu said to the workers.
"Okay, Manager Zhu. Do we need to pick you up when we return?"
"No. If it's too late, I'll take a taxi back. You all head back now and drive safely."
"Congratulations to Mr. Lu Liang and Ms. Xiao Yu on their marriage."
Pi Xiaoqian read the large characters on the rainbow arch.
"Brother Liang, tonight is your last night as a single man. Shall we go have some fun?"
"A meal is fine. I can't drink anymore today. The morning's activities nearly killed me."
"What do you mean? Celebration requires celebration. These brothers have been guarding your home. They have strong yang energy. Heh heh heh."
"Get lost. Hurry up and get in the car, I'm hungry too."
Lu Liang gestured for Zhu Zilu to follow him into a car.
"Yangzi, who is that? She's so well-dressed."
"Stop thinking such things. By the way, have you contacted Xiao Xi? What did they say?"
"Expedited. It's all done."
"I remember you saying something about it before. Why were you left out?"
"Who knows what you were thinking?"
"I did tell Xiao Xi about Mr. Wu and Xu Liping's documents. I forgot about you."
After speaking, Guo Xuyang suddenly remembered that Li Minyu would also be going. He smacked his forehead hard. What a mess. He hadn't invited Li Minyu back then precisely to avoid Pi Xiaoqian finding out, how could he have forgotten about this? Now that everything was done, it was too late to mention it.
