NOVEL NEXT Chapter 123 Shopping
"What? You want me to invite him in person?"
At this moment, Li Shengru was sitting in the Li Family Manor, looking at Song Ning with a bruised and swollen face in front of him. In his fury, he hurled the cup in his hand to the ground, his old face showing immense anger!
His own son, Li Shengtao, had been beaten to near death by Lu Yu, sustaining severe injuries that left one kidney destroyed. He was still in the intensive care unit, and although out of life-threatening danger, even with successful treatment, serious issues might persist, and the ability to have descendants in the future was still uncertain!
First, his son was beaten to near death, and now he's expected to personally invite the person responsible—Li Shengru was on the verge of exploding with rage!
"Master, what should we do now?"
At this moment, Song Ning, with a face looking like a pig's head, asked. Although he came to see Li Shengru after attending to his injuries, the wounds on his face remained quite apparent.
"What should we do?!"
Upon hearing Song Ning's words, Li Shengru ground his teeth and spoke, his words filled with coldness. He quietly said, "Lu Yu, oh Lu Yu, since you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink punishment, don't blame me, Li Shengtao, for being too harsh on a younger generation!"
With that, Li Shengtao turned to Song Ning and said, "Book a table for me at Peace Restaurant for tonight; I'm inviting an important guest this evening!"
Peace Restaurant, the most luxurious hotel in Lin'an, clearly showed Li Shengru's determination by choosing it.
Upon hearing Li Shengru's words, Song Ning was slightly stunned. Then, looking at Li Shengru, he said, "Yes, Master."
After speaking, Song Ning slowly turned around and stepped back.
Seeing Song Ning retreat, Li Shengru's face twitched a couple of times. After hesitating momentarily, he dialed a number on his phone and laughed, saying, "Director Yuan? Yes, yes, it's me, Li Shengru. Are you free tonight? Peace Restaurant, I'm inviting you for dinner..."
...
The weekend finally arrived. As soon as Lu Yu woke up from his dream, he received a call from Xia Bing. They agreed to meet in half an hour beneath Xia Bing's building.
After hanging up, Lu Yu shook his head. Seems like Xia Bing was eager to thank him.
Thinking of Xia Bing, with her beautiful face, alluring figure, and shy demeanor, a smile couldn't help but appear on Lu Yu's face.
Everyone yearns for beautiful things. In Lu Yu's eyes, a pretty girl is certainly one among them.
Half an hour later, Lu Yu arrived below Xia Bing's residence. She was dressed in casual beige fitted top with a stylish coat over it, and tight pants that accentuated her figure, complemented by her lovely features, attracting everyone's attention.
Especially the top, which outlined Xia Bing's curvaceous body allure vividly, looked extremely captivating at a glance.
"Xia Bing, beautiful lady, you look absolutely stunning today," Lu Yu said with a smile, his words full of mirth.
"No, I just put on a little makeup,"
Upon hearing Lu Yu's praise, Xia Bing blushed slightly and replied. Her voice was filled with shyness.
On regular days, Xia Bing hardly wore makeup, except for sometimes when her role as an executive assistant required her to tidy up a bit. The rest of the time, she was mostly bare-faced. This unexpected slight makeup today created a truly stunning impression.
"So, Xia Bing, our first stop should be where? We can't just head straight to eat, that'd be too much for me," Lu Yu said to Xia Bing with a chuckle.
"Let's take a stroll down the shopping street then. It's been ages since I've been there," Xia Bing suggested with a sigh.
As an executive assistant, Xia Bing's work wasn't overwhelmingly busy, but she had to stay by the executive's side, assisting in decision-making, playing a crucial role.
It was precisely for this reason that Xia Bing rarely had time off. Now that she had this rare outing, she naturally wanted to indulge her feminine instinct to relax and enjoy herself.
"Alright, since Xia Bing wants to shop, I'll accompany you," Lu Yu said with a soft smile.
Hearing Lu Yu's response, Xia Bing flashed a grin, and then they boarded Lu Yu's vehicle, heading towards LA City's shopping street…
LA City's shopping street, located in the bustling area of the city, was different from the leisurely paths like the pedestrian street and Nanjing Road, being a commercial street focusing on goods.
After parking the car, Lu Yu and Xia Bing slowly wandered along the shopping street, enjoying their time leisurely.
This street held numerous memories for Lu Yu. Back in the day, he lived lavishly here like a spendthrift, yet five years later, as circumstances changed, the once brash Lu Yu was no more, leaving behind a person honed by five years of maturing experiences.
"Lu Yu, shall we check out this store?"
At this moment, Xia Bing pointed to the nearby Patek Philippe flagship store with a hint of mysterious smile in her voice.
"Sure, I'm here to accompany you, Xia Bing. Let's go in,"
Hearing Xia Bing's words, Lu Yu gave a gentle smile and replied.
With that, Xia Bing and Lu Yu entered the Patek Philippe flagship store.
"Hello, welcome to the Patek Philippe flagship store, how can I assist you?"
Once inside, a store attendant quickly approached, smiling and addressing Lu Yu and Xia Bing.
"Hello, I'm interested in a men's watch,"
Xia Bing said with a smile, hearing the attendant's greeting.
A men's watch?
Lu Yu was momentarily puzzled upon hearing Xia Bing. Why would this delicate beauty need a men's watch?
"Alright, please follow me,"
Upon hearing Xia Bing's request, the attendant promptly led Lu Yu and Xia Bing to the men's watch section and said, "All our men's watches are here for you to peruse at your leisure. Let me know if you need assistance."
At that, Lu Yu glanced down, and upon seeing the watches in the display, noticed that even the cheapest one was over fifty thousand!
"Xia Bing, beautiful lady, may I ask who you plan to gift this watch to?" Lu Yu asked curiously after scanning the watches on display.
