Chapter 79 - Lu Lixing the parvenu and his delicate wife (4)
In the dead of night, the moon was hanging high up in the sky.
After Ji Qingqing took a hot bath, she drowsily laid in bed while reading a book.
She periodically looked at the clock on the wall, and her gaze kept drifting towards the doorway.
It was already so late in the night, and Lu Lixing was still working away in his study.
Elder Lu had once talked to her about Lu Lixing's habits. No matter how late it got, he would always finish today's work before going to sleep. However, Lu Lixing's workload as Lu Corporation's CEO was very heavy. He couldn't possibly fit all of his work within reasonable work hours. Thus, Lu Lixing wouldn't go to bed until the wee hours of morning.
He was a workaholic that had no concept of time when he was focused on work.
Ji Qingqing worriedly thought that even though he didn't die from the car accident, the probability of sudden death was quite high for him if he kept up his workaholic habits.
She should find a day to show Lu Lixing the news reports of people that had suddenly dropped dead because of overworking.
Just as Ji Qingqing was about to lie down to sleep, she saw something on her phone. It was a headline entertainment post.
[An eyewitness broke the news that actress Ji Qingqing was seen at an international brand name store with a wealthy businessman. Within ten minutes, he spent half a million yuan on her. This reporter speculates that this rich businessman is a new parvenu in our coastal city! Congratulations to actress Ji Qingqing on finding someone new to leech off of!]
Parvenu?
Ji Qingqing pictured Lu Lixing's trim suit replaced with a flower shirt along with a large gold chain necklace and a 24k gold watch. With a bulging briefcase held under an armpit and the other arm around a delicate wife, he would arrogantly dump a pile of yuan onto the store counter. Pointing at the store employee, he would leisurely order, "This, this, and this, I want it all!"
Ji Qingqing almost broke out in laughter.
Which entertainment tabloid was this? There were clearly a few fuzzy photos from the front and back included in this post. Although Lu Lixing's face couldn't be clearly made out, the reporter should have been able to see Lu Lixing's clothing and figure. Why did that reporter portray Lu Lixing as a parvenu?
Really, that reporter was too talented.
However, after thinking about it, hadn't Lu Lixing's wasteful spending today at the mall been the same as a parvenu's conduct?
"Other than the items she took out, I'll buy everything else in the store."
"Have everything wrapped up for me."
"Tell me the total cost of those items within the next minute! Otherwise, I don't want to buy them."
Ji Qingqing, who had never received such pampering care before, blushed when she thought of the words that Lu Lixing had said today.
Although Lu Lixing's mood was as unpredictable as the weather, a flaw doesn't obscure a jade's luster. Overall, he was a very outstanding man.
It was easy for a woman’s heart to be tempted by a man like him.
The door creaked open, and Lu Lixing walked into the room.
The moment that Ji Qingqing saw Lu Lixing, the image of Lixing the parvenu and his delicate wife popped up in her mind, and she couldn't hold back her laughter.
"Parvenu, haha Mr. Lu, look. You've become a parvenu haha..." Ji Qingqing presented him with her phone to show him the news article.
Lu Lixing glanced at Ji Qingqing, who was shaking from laughter before resting his gaze on her phone. After skimming through the content, he more or less understood. He looked at her in askance. "Are you very happy being raised by a parvenu?"
Ji Qingqing immediately stopped laughing and her smile faded away.
Lu Lixing took off his jacket. His tone was calm and not even the slightest trace of dissatisfaction could be heard as he said, "Those tabloids write their articles based on hearsay evidence in order to get readers. They exaggerate the truth or go straight to making things up. Their writing gets increasingly ridiculous. Daring to report on something without proof and based on wild speculation. Do they still want to live?"
Ji Qingqing deeply felt that Lu Lixing's words were very reasonable. Nodding, she said, “Yeah, it's so rotten of them. So hubby, for the sake of your reputation, you should strike them down!"
-- "1 point has been added to your life. You currently have 20 hours to live."
The author has something to say:
Lu Lixing: I don't care if that reporter calls me a parvenu, but how can a parvenu afford to raise my wife? Writing such a drivel. Do you believe me when I say I'm going to sue that reporter?
