After saying that, Little Liu jumped down from the windowsill and left with his bag.
Liang Bing’s expression was gloomy as she looked at his departing figure. She really wanted to skin him alive.
Gu Yao looked at Liang Bing in disdain. ‘You deserve to be insulted.’
After thinking for a moment, she immediately turned around and left.
In the car, Wang Lu asked, “Young Miss, do you want to eat something first?”
They had an hour left to spare.
Jiang Ling’er thought for a moment and decided, “You can get something for me later. Go and have your meal first. I’ll eat when I’m done.”
Wang Lu persuaded, “Young Miss, we still have time.”
Jiang Ling’er said with a smile, “There’s a scene later where I might be hanging upside down, so it’s not good to eat too much. I don’t know how long the shoot will take. You should eat first and rest. I’ll wait for you to pick me up.”
Wang Lu was speechless.
Seeing that Wang Lu was silent, Jiang Ling’er said impatiently, “Get some food first, okay?”
“Understood, Young Miss.” Wang Lu nodded.
Upon arriving at the set, Jiang Ling’er got out of the car and Wang Lu drove away.
He went straight to a nearby restaurant and entered a small restaurant.
About twenty minutes later, he came out.
Just as he reached the car, he suddenly sensed someone approaching. He turned around swiftly and grabbed a hand.
The man said in a panic, “Ow, ow, ow! Cousin, look! It’s me, Wang Wei!”
Wang Lu recognized the man and said with a frown, “What do you want? Don’t sneak up on me ever again.”
Wang Wei shook his aching wrist and said, “1 didn’t expect your reaction would be so fierce. My wrist hurts!”
Wang Lu said coldly, “If you have nothing important to say, I’ll be leaving.”
Wang Wei immediately said, “Why are you in such a hurry? Let me introduce you to my girlfriend, Sally.”
He wrapped his arms around the girl’s waist and looked at Wang Lu proudly.
“Hello,” Sally said shyly.
Wang Lu nodded to acknowledge her
Wang Wei flattered him, saying, “Cousin, your car is so cool. Take us for a spin.”
Wang Lu glanced at Wang Wei.
Wang Wei felt awkward. “Uhm, Cousin, can you bring me and my girlfriend for a ride?”
Wang Lu replied blandly, “I’m sorry, but the car isn’t mine. I can’t let other people ride in it.”
Wang Wei was embarrassed. He said with some dissatisfaction, “Cousin, you’re not giving me enough respect. Aren’t you being too arrogant?”
Wang Lu glanced at Wang Wei and repeated coldly, “The car isn’t mine. 1 can’t let other people ride in it.”
Wang Wei said with a frown, “It’s fine if you don’t take us for a ride, but it’s already very late. Won’t you take us home instead?”
Wang Lu glared at Wang Wei.
Wang Wei felt scared and instinctively took a step back.
Wang Lu entered the car and drove away.
Looking at the departing car, Wang Wei said angrily, “You’re just a driver! Just because you’re driving a supercar, do you think you’re so special? Hmph!”
Sally said, “Your cousin is so stingy, but his driving skills are good.”
Wang Wei felt angry when he heard his girlfriend praise Wang Lu. He asked furiously, “What do you mean?”
Seeing that Wang Wei was angry, Sally sneered inwardly, but she still spoke coquettishly, “What? Are you jealous?”
Wang Wei snorted.
Sally said with a smile, “Your cousin is so capable. Compared to him, you’re not as handsome.”
Wang Wei rolled his eyes at Sally and said, “1 can support you, but can he do the same?”
Sally replied bashfully, “You’re mean.”
Wang Wei narrowed his eyes and said, “But it’s true that he’s not my biological cousin. He’s adopted.”
Sally revealed a shocked expression. “Really? Is your aunt unable to conceive a child?”
Wang Wei whispered, “My aunt is sterile. The doctor said she has some physical problems, but I’m not sure about the details. She was pregnant once before, but she lost the baby. After that, she couldn’t conceive anymore.”
“So all the family’s assets will be yours in the future?” Sally asked.
Speaking of this, Wang Wei felt unhappy. He answered, “I was supposed to inherit everything, but I don’t know what the hell went on in my uncle’s brain. He actually adopted Wang Lu, who was already fifteen years old back then.”
Sally pursed her lips and said, “Your uncle probably doesn’t want you to inherit his assets.”
Wang Wei said arrogantly, “What a joke! Should someone unrelated by blood inherit the family’s assets? Does anyone need to teach this to my uncle?”
