Chapter 68: Eye Opener

Her first sentence made Xie Xuan’s gloomy expression improve for a moment.
The last sentence was spoken so softly that he didn’t hear it at all.
But soon, he frowned again. “Is it the one sitting opposite you in the coffee shop last time?”
“Ah, yes, it’s her.” Lu Haiqiao smiled indifferently and said casually, “I just said that my mother has been divorced for 20 years. My sister’s custody went to my father, so we don’t have a good relationship.”
Xie Xuan thought, “Even so, she still wants to meet her sister alone. How decent.”
“I’ll take you there.” As soon as Xie Xuan finished speaking, Xie Da had already opened the back door of the car and was waiting at the side.
“Don’t bother.” Lu Haiqiao looked up after sending Lu Yunge a WeChat message. “It’s not far from here. I can go by myself.”
Xie Xuan didn’t press. “Send me a WeChat message when you’re free.”
Lu Haiqiao was puzzled. “Huh?”
Xie Xuan reminded her, “Don’t I have to arrange another time to buy you dinner?”
Before leaving, he added solemnly, “Be careful.”
Watching the black Audi S8 leave, Lu Haiqiao walked to the pedestrian road opposite.
After waiting by the street for about five minutes, a red and black Pagani sped over from afar with a roar unique to sportscars.
With a screech, the car stopped steadily in front of Lu Haiqiao.
Lu Yunge got out of the driver’s seat. “Haiqiao, your car is so nice. I drove all the way here, and the other cars avoided me. It was like the road belonged to me alone. I could drive however I wanted.”
“You can do whatever you want, but my car is very busy. Don’t bother her.” She bypassed Lu Yunge and got into the car.
After fastening her seatbelt with one hand, Lu Haiqiao heard a knocking sound.
Lu Yunge was knocking on the car window.
As the car window rolled down, Lu Haiqiao asked, “What is it?”
Lu Yunge rested his left hand on the roof of the car and looked down at her lazily. “Why do you suddenly want to take your car out for a ride?”
It was midsummer, and the sun was still shining brightly at six in the evening.
Lu Haiqiao opened the compartment, took out her sunglasses, and put them on. “I’ve been a country bumpkin for the past few years, and I need an eye-opener.”
Lu Yunge was speechless.
She was driving a sports car worth more than six million dollars. An eye-opener?
Seeing Lu Haiqiao roll up the window again, Lu Yunge said, “Hey, hey, hey, you asked me to drive the car over, but you don’t plan to give me a ride?”
“Where are you going?” The window was half-closed, revealing only the top half of Lu Haiqiao’s face beneath her sunglasses.
“East Treasure Garden,” Lu Yunge said. “I’m having dinner with my sister and
Ah Yan.”
As its name suggested, East Treasure Garden, which was about a 20-minute drive away, only served top-notch members with annual VIP cards.
Hearing this, Lu Haiqiao picked up the phone in the front passenger seat. After tapping on it a few times, she said indifferently, “Go ahead.”
Lu Yunge was perplexed.
At this moment, he felt a vibration from his phone.
As he lowered his head and took out his phone, the sports car vroomed.
Looking up, he only had time to see the back of the flashy car before it disappeared at the end of the road.
“Tsk, she could just tell me she didn’t want to bring me along. Why did…” As he complained, Lu Yunge opened WeChat.
Lu Haiqiao had just transferred him thirty thousand dollars.
The message read, “The car fare’s on me.”
Lu Yunge was speechless.
Even a trip to the end of the world wouldn’t need that much money!
