Chapter 1671: Offending Her Right After Arriving in Rongcheng City

Xu Shu simply treated his injuries, but his face kept swelling, hurting at the slightest touch. Xu Shu didn’t bother to be meticulous, mainly because he didn’t want to listen to Loo Yao’s whining.

“Where’s the makeup artist?” Xu Shu asked.

“Already on the way. How’s his face?”

“A bit hurt, not serious, just needs time for the swelling to go down. Miss Lu used skill, avoided vital areas, she actually showed you some respect.”

Loo Jinyang knew what this meant, “I’ll prepare a generous gift to apologize to her later.”

Xu Shu hadn’t even started to say “You should,” when Loo Yao suddenly erupted in anger.

“Loo Jinyang, are you crazy! You let a woman hit me, you really did it!”

Loo Jinyang’s gaze fell on him, his dark eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of anger subtly visible in his expression.

“She’s Lu Zhenzhen.”

“I don’t care who she really is! You deliberately let a woman humiliate me!”

Loo Jinyang sneered, “Let me tell you who Lu Zhenzhen is, she’s from the top family in Rongcheng City, even Third Brother Bo has to show her some respect. Most of the underground ventures Yaen Chi is involved in have gained legitimacy through the Lu Family. Anyone from elsewhere who wants to do business in Rongcheng must treat the Lu Family as a patron. When there’s a major project, it’s the Lu Family they consider collaborating with first.”

The more Loo Yao listened, the more terrified he looked.

Loo Jinyang added, “She’s someone even I can’t afford to offend, and you’ve already offended her as soon as you stepped into Rongcheng. That’s quite a skill.”

Loo Yao shivered, “Is she really that powerful?”

“Do you know Gao Zhe?”

“Which Gao…”

The name was just on his lips when Loo Yao suddenly flinched.

He remembered chatting with friends and hearing about this name, someone tough to deal with, who uses both straightforward and underhanded tricks, so everyone is cautious in interactions.

Loo Yao’s friends, once unruly, all straightened up and spoke carefully at the mention of Gao Zhe, not daring to offend him. The conversation would grow cold with fear and die prematurely.

The less you hear, the deeper the impression.

Loo Yao shrunk slightly, stealing a glance at Loo Jinyang, who was unresponsive, busy contacting the makeup artist.

Soon, both the makeup artist and stylist arrived, handling Loo Yao’s makeup gently, taking a bit of extra time.

Once they arrived at the hotel, there was half an hour until the auspicious moment. Loo Jinyang took Loo Yao through the back door, Mother Loo was already frantic, calling non-stop along the way, and when she finally saw him, she hurried over to lead Loo Yao inside by the arm.

“Child, where did you go? How could you be late on such an important day, all the guests have arrived, and if you don’t show up, how will your father and I explain!”

Loo Yao scratched his head, “Sorry, Mom, I made you and Dad worry. A few of my friends rushed back from abroad, and I really can’t hold my liquor. I drank a bit too much out of excitement, and I didn’t even realize I was drunk.”

“You really don’t drink well; during the New Year’s, when the elders made you drink, you got rosy after one cup. How many cups did you have, passing out without even answering your mother’s calls?”

Loo Yao thought seriously, “I forgot, maybe three cups. I planned to lie down and rest until I sobered up before going home, but my friends thought I was asleep, so they put me in a room. It was just too comfortable…”

Loo Yao chuckled sheepishly.

His features were round, his body slender but his face had youthful fullness, and with his boyish whiteness, his smile was so innocent that Mother Loo couldn’t stay angry.
