Chapter 152: Joining Hands to Trick People

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The servant cautiously glanced at Gu Ziheng and whispered, “No, he is…”

After all, this was Third Young Master of the Gu family. How could he not be allowed inside?

Although the main branch of the Gu family was not in the capital, there were a few branches present, and Mr. Gu had extensive connections with the higher-ups. Even those people would show respect when they saw him.

Who in the entire country would dare to disregard the Gu family?

Jin Rui’s face turned ashen, and he interrupted, saying sternly, “I don’t care who he is. Just throw him out.”

Lu Miao was just an ordinary student who knew acupuncture. Even if she asked for help, what influential figure could she replace?

Moreover, this was in the capital.

He was familiar with most of the young heirs of the prominent families in the capital. He had never seen this person before, so he couldn’t possibly be involved with someone he shouldn’t provoke.

A wicked smile appeared on Gu Ziheng’s lips. “Indeed, the capital is truly a place where dragon’s aura nurtures people. Mr. Jin, you have quite the attitude.”

He usually acted unruly in front of Lu Miao, but that was because he had already regarded her as family.

However, in front of outsiders, he exuded a strong presence. Even though Jin Rui was several decades older, he didn’t fall behind in terms of momentum.

A sinister look flashed in Jin Rui’s eyes. “Who do you think you are to dare speak to me in that tone? Since you won’t leave when I tell you to, then just never leave.”

He had grown accustomed to being arrogant with the support of the Su family and Jiang family over the years. It was just one person disappearing. It wasn’t a big deal to him; he didn’t care at all.

Even if someone came looking for trouble in the future, he wasn’t afraid.

Disregarding the life of a mere commoner, it was worthless. He could easily spend a few hundred thousand to get rid of them.

Gu Ziheng chuckled. “Is that so?”

Without waiting for Jin Rui to respond, Gu Ziheng swung the inkstone in his hand and smashed it down toward his head.

Jin Rui’s head had just recovered from the buzzing when he was hit once again. He saw stars in front of his eyes, and his body swayed in place, nearly falling to the ground.

At the same time, the several black-clad men outside the door finally rushed in and immediately surrounded Gu Ziheng.

Supporting his head, Jin Rui looked at Gu Ziheng and angrily roared, “You’re seeking death!”

Then he directly ordered the black-clad men, “Take him away and make sure he suffers, but don’t let him die too quickly!”

Gu Ziheng elegantly rolled up his sleeves and raised his hand, preparing to engage in a big fight.

Lu Miao sighed and was considering whether to use a technique to deal with these people in one fell swoop or to directly take action.

Once again, a sound of footsteps came from outside the study.

Immediately after, a tall and familiar figure dressed in casual attire, with hands in pockets, walked in with an elegant and composed stride.

Lu Miao’s eyebrows slightly raised. Why did he come?

As for Jin Rui at the desk, he straightened up instantly, and his facial expression changed multiple times upon seeing the incoming person. “F-Fu… Young Master Fu, why are you here?”

The four major families in the capital also had varying strengths, and the Fu family was the foremost among them.

However, the Jiang family and the Su family had always been at odds with the Fu family, and he had never had any contact with them before. He didn’t know why this person suddenly came to him today.

He quickly signaled the black-clad men on the side to take Lu Miao and Gu Ziheng away as quickly as possible.

However, Fu Jingshen walked straight to Lu Miao’s side, curling his lips and saying, “I came to see my friend.”

As he spoke, he slightly bent his body and leaned over to whisper in Lu Miao’s ear.

“I said earlier that it would be better for you to leave Gu Shiyan and follow me.

How about it? In times of crisis, I came just in time to save the beauty.”

Lu Miao was speechless. Whether she needed saving or not, others might not know, but didn’t Fu Jingshen know?

This guy deliberately found an excuse to interfere, didn’t he?

Although Gu Ziheng couldn’t hear what he said, he could tell from his cunning expression that it couldn’t be anything good.

He immediately turned around and stepped forward, forcefully standing between the two of them, shielding Lu Miao behind him, and looking warily at Fu Jingshen.

Fu Jingshen’s lip twitched. Why hadn’t Gu Shiyan come, but his younger brother had?

Upon hearing his words, Jin Rui’s mind was immediately thrown into turmoil.

He couldn’t believe what he was hearing and asked incredulously, “Young Master Fu, are you saying that Lu Miao is your friend?”

How was that possible?

Fu Jingshen raised an eyebrow and dropped a bombshell, “Not only is she my friend, but she is also an esteemed guest of my grandfather.”

He wondered why Jin Rui had sent so many people to invite his friend.

Upon hearing this, Jin Rui broke out in a cold sweat. Fu’s grandfather, wasn’t that the second -in-command?

Initially, he had only heard that a little girl had cured the complete paralysis of the young master of the Shen family. When he found out that she was Shen Muhuan’s classmate and learned that she was participating in a program in the capital, he sent people without conducting any investigation.

Who exactly was Lu Miao? To think that she had a connection with Fu’s grandfather.

Nervously, he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and awkwardly said, “I dare not, Young Master Fu. Just call me by my name. It’s all a misunderstanding. I just heard that Miss Lu is skilled in acupuncture and wanted to invite her to treat my son’s illness. I had no other intentions.” Fu Jingshen nodded. “Have you asked her if she is willing?”

Jin Rui lamented in his heart. How could he have known about Lu Miao’s background? If he had known earlier, he would have approached her with kindness and personally invited her.

“It was my negligence. I was in a hurry to save my son and didn’t consult with Miss Lu beforehand. I will apologize to Miss Lu here and hope she can understand my love for my child.”

Fu Jingshen walked to the desk, raised his hand, and touched the stone ornament on the table.

“Apologies and compensation should also be accompanied by some sincerity. I think this stone is pretty good,” Fu Jingshen said, then turned to Lu Miao.

“What do you think?”

Lu Miao nodded in agreement. “Indeed, it’s quite nice.”

Jin Rui’s eye twitched uncontrollably. Of course, it was nice. This wasn’t just any stone—it was a top-grade Imperial Green jadeite, and it was fully green. It would fetch at least a nine-figure price!

In what kind of circle had this young Fu grown up? How could he not see that these two were intentionally teaming up to trick him?

Fu Jingshen turned around. “Mr. Jin?”

This stone is worth billions!!!

Jin Rui felt like he was about to vomit blood. Although he didn’t want to, he could only grit his teeth and nod, consoling himself in his mind that he would consider it as the money for his son’s treatment.

“If Miss Lu likes it, then I’ll consider this stone as compensation for my wrongdoing,” Jin Rui reluctantly agreed.

Fu Jingshen nodded in satisfaction. “Since that’s the case, let’s consider today’s incident of you taking Lu Miao without permission as settled. We’ll take our leave.”

With that, he reached out and took the stone ornament from the desk, then walked up to Gu Ziheng and handed it to him.

Gu Ziheng, caught off guard, almost dropped it and couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

Fu Jingshen bypassed him and smiled at Lu Miao. “Miao Miao, let’s go..”
