Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Director Lu, Someone is Trying to Steal Your Wife
“I am Lu Hualiang, I heard my wife was buying a zither from your store?”
Upon hearing the name Lu Hualiang, the shopkeeper was nearly scared to death!
What day was it today? First, the President and now Director Lu, two of the three great titans of Huaxia had phoned his little store; it was too much honor for him to bear.
The shopkeeper wiped his sweat and said respectfully, “May I ask which lady is your wife, Director Lu …”
The shopkeeper felt as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue!
Xia Weibao was the Young Madam of the Lu Family?
Goodness, he seemed to have stumbled upon some big secret!
However, he only dared to exclaim in his heart, for the personal affairs of such high-profile individuals were not something a mere shopkeeper could meddle in.
Following that, the shopkeeper wished he could die.
One was the President’s sister, and the other was the Young Madam of the Lu Family, to whom should he sell the zither?
He could ill-afford to offend either party!
“If my wife has been slighted today, your store might as well close down.”
Lu Hualiang left him with those chilling words before hanging up.
As for how he found out about Xia Weibao buying a zither.
That was all thanks to Yang Li.
Today, as Yang Jian returned, to prevent his foolish younger brother from continuing to seek death, Yang Li took a half-day off work specifically to pick him up.
Then he took the opportunity to teach his foolish brother some principles of survival.
Lest he be dispatched to some borderland as soon as he reported back to the company.
Passing by the musical instrument store, he happened to see Xia Weibao and Yan Yuexian confronting each other.
Eunuch Yang… ah, that’s not right, Eunuch Yang… pah!
Special Assistant Yang was more clued in, instantly guessing the ins and outs of the situation.
Such an excellent opportunity to flatter his superiors was not to be missed.
So a phone call to the CEO’s office later, and his bonus for the month was doubled!
At the musical instrument store, the shopkeeper held the phone, glanced at Xia Weibao, and then at Yan Yuexian.
For the first time, he realized that running a store could be life-threatening!
The situation was too big for him to handle on his own.
So he hurriedly made a call to headquarters, asking for the boss to come over.
His boss carried great influence and status; surely he could handle it, right?
An hour later, an elderly man who had lived past the age of seventy stepped in with a strong and steady gait.
His hair was gray, his eyes kind, and his presence full of vitality.
Xia Weibao raised an eyebrow; the old man was well-preserved.
She had observed the modern people, who generally had some health problems at this age, especially those so-called ‘three highs.’
Yet this gentleman looked hale and hearty, nimble in movement, surely one who kept up with square dancing!
He had the air of a grandmaster.
Upon entering, the old man’s gaze was first drawn to Xia Weibao, lingering for a moment.
The girl was quite attractive and matched the appearance of his younger self.
As for Yan Yuexian and Ruan Shushu, he disregarded them completely.
The old man looked at the shopkeeper, his voice strong and resonant.
The shopkeeper approached with great respect, looking distressed, “Boss, both of these young ladies want to buy the Solitary Zither.”
Then he whispered a few words into the old man’s ear.
The old man’s brows twitched, and he looked at Xia Weibao with a face full of regret.
What a pity; he had thought about coaxing her into becoming his granddaughter-in-law.
She was so beautiful and had such an elegant demeanor.
Alas, it was a shame.
“The young Lu lad has good taste.”
The old man huffed, that clever boy, he had actually eloped with the granddaughter-in-law he had set his sights on!
This comment left Xia Weibao somewhat baffled.
She tilted her head; the young Lu lad, could it be Lu Hualiang?
It shouldn’t be, as others didn’t know about her relationship with Lu Hualiang.
Besides, there were plenty of people with the surname Lu in Huaxia Country; perhaps she was overthinking it.
