Chapter 77: Dearest Horse, What Should I Do? (Please add this book to your shelf so you don’t lose it)

Hua Tianyu’s act of making a phone call caught Lu Siyuan’s eye, but as for what was said, he couldn’t care less.

Yet Wei Xueying’s words left him feeling somewhat embarrassed.

He beckoned and called the manager over.

“Can you move out your piano?” Lu Siyuan asked.

“Ah? Young Master Lu, that’s a grand piano. It’s really hard to move. And you know, once a piano is moved, it needs a tuner. Where am I supposed to find a tuner at this hour?” The manager looked troubled.

“I’ll pay you extra, extra, do you understand? You must solve this for me! If not, I’ll complain to your boss!” Lu Siyuan said arrogantly.

What’s all this about tuners? Isn’t it just a way to ask for more money? Fine, I’ll pay!

The manager was sweating slightly. The Lu Group was a giant in Shangjiang City, and the boss had specifically instructed him to treat Young Master Lu with care. If he ended up with a complaint, he might as well pack his bags.

But that grand piano—without a professional, he truly didn’t dare to move it. Tuning was one issue, but if it got scratched or dented, he couldn’t afford the tens of thousands it would cost!

As he hesitated, the supervisor nearby stepped up.

“Manager, we have a Yamaha electric keyboard, remember? Maybe we could make do with that?”

The manager’s eyes lit up. Good idea!

Hua Tianyu and Wei Xueying stood to the side, watching coldly as the staff fussed over keyboards and speakers.

Wei Xueying mentioned twice that they should stop with these useless preparations and get straight to business, but Lu Siyuan insisted the setup must be perfect.

“Brother Tian!” An excited voice called from the entrance.

Just as the manager finished, Cui Quan arrived with a large entourage, rolling up in ten vans.

Cui Quan was the first to disembark, followed by dozens in security uniforms, then more in cleaning attire, and finally, property staff in clothes stamped “Maintenance.”

Last came the ten van drivers.

Nearly a hundred people in total!

Lu Siyuan stared in confusion at the crowd streaming into the Tiger Restaurant and pointed, asking Wei Xueying, “Who… who are they?”

“My boss Wei’s bodyguards,” Hua Tianyu replied.

“So… so many?”

“Hmm? Are you counting Wei’s bodyguards? Why? Didn’t you just promise to pay the bill in front of our boss Wei?”

“Yes… yes…” Lu Siyuan’s mind was still blank.

“Good!” Hua Tianyu flashed a wicked smile.

“Manager, every dish on the menu, one for each person. Drinks and beverages too—don’t skimp!” Hua Tianyu patted the manager’s shoulder with a half-smile.

“All the dishes? One per person? Young Master Lu…” The manager glanced nervously at Lu Siyuan.

Lu Siyuan gritted his teeth and shut his eyes. “Serve the food!”

Seeing Young Master Lu consent, the manager hurried off to arrange the menu; after all, it’s his venue, and the customer calls the shots.

Having brought the whole Swan Group crew, Hua Tianyu’s resourcefulness put a second smile on Wei Xueying’s usually calm face today.

That scoundrel—only he could think of such a plan.

To deal with pests like Lu Siyuan, you needed a villain like Hua Tianyu!

Lu Siyuan was dazzled by the nearly hundred people before him. It was clear his second attempt at wooing had utterly failed.

How did it come to this?

Regaining his composure, Lu Siyuan began to piece together the day’s events…

The driver! Yes! It was him!

All his misfortune today started with that driver. Without him, maybe his 999 roses would have won over Wei Xueying! Without him, there wouldn’t be this chaotic crowd before his eyes! Without him, he’d be holding hands and sipping wine by now!

“Wu Rui!”

Lu Siyuan shouted. He needed his bodyguards.

“Young Master Lu!”

The reply came from right behind him; the two bodyguards had never left.

“Go beat up Wei Xueying’s driver. Beat him until his own mother won’t recognize him!”

A sharp intake of breath sounded behind Lu Siyuan.

“Master Lu, uh… maybe you should reconsider? There are so many people over there, we… well…”

“Idiots! Can’t you take him to the restroom?” Lu Siyuan snapped.

“Brilliant, Master Lu!” Wu Rui perked up. He’s right—the restroom is a perfect place! With just the two of them against one, they could do whatever they pleased.

Today, Young Master Lu’s anger must be vented! Beating him until his mother can’t recognize him would be merciful—at least until he can’t care for himself!

“Rest assured, Master Lu! Wait for good news!” The two patted their chests in promise.

“Are you sure?” Lu Siyuan pressed, still uneasy.

“No one has ever beaten the two of us together!” Wu Rui replied confidently.

They had every right to be. As brothers, they’d trained together since childhood, specializing in two-man tactics. Even three opponents wouldn’t faze them.

Lu Siyuan nodded with satisfaction, watching them accompany Hua Tianyu to the restroom, finally feeling a bit relieved.

“Miss Wei, shall we sit and talk over there?”

Lu Siyuan moved a few steps closer, inviting her.

He hadn’t given up yet. Since the Shangjiang goddess had come to this meeting, with years of experience in romantic pursuits, he still had hope of turning the situation around.

Wei Xueying glanced at him indifferently and nodded.

Talk they must; after all, that was her purpose today. She scanned for the nearest table and walked over.

“Young Master Lu!”

Lu Siyuan saw Wei Xueying just sit down, and before he could take his seat, a shout rang in his ears.

Looking up, expecting his two bodyguards, he was stunned to see the little driver instead!

Hua Tianyu walked up leisurely, hands in pockets. “Young Master Lu, your bodyguards asked me to deliver you a message.”

“Huh… ah?” Lu Siyuan was already surprised to see Hua Tianyu emerge from the restroom instead of his bodyguards. Now, hearing that his bodyguards had sent him a message, his confusion grew.

“What… what message?”

“They said: ‘Young Master Lu, we… we’re sorry!’”

“Pfft!”

Seeing Hua Tianyu imitate someone’s tearful tone with such seriousness, Wei Xueying couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Already stunning, her smile shone with breathtaking beauty, making Hua Tianyu’s heart stir.

But this enchanting moment was wasted on Lu Siyuan, who sat slack-jawed, his eye twitching uncontrollably.

His two bodyguards were finished?!

Weren’t they supposed to be unbeatable together?

Now they just send word with a message like this?

Where was the basic trust between people?

Ah?
