“Tsk, as expected of someone from new money. It’s like he never ate meat in his previous life. How impatient. He must have been so poor when he was young!”
“Hey, now, it seems he’s on a date with a young lady. The two of them took a bath together. It’s indeed good to be rich. Young ladies nowadays don’t have self-respect. What’s the use of being good-looking? Tui, trash!”
“Maybe he’s forcing her? After all, this upstart is strong. What does that weak little girl know? She just takes the money and lets him do whatever he wants. Even the police don’t dare arrest him!”
“It looks like he can only hang around here. As for those upper class dinner parties, he wouldn’t even be able to get through the front door!”
Everyone gave Lu Xiao disdainful looks as they spoke.
Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows and his cold gaze swept over them.
One or two people immediately flinched, but they quickly straightened their backs. It was as if they weren’t afraid of him since they outnumbered him.
Lu Xiao gritted his teeth. If he wasn’t holding his daughter’s supper, he would have sent them flying with a few punches and kicks.
What a bunch of shameless people. Talking about him was fine, but they actually slandered his daughter?
Lu Xiao’s cold gaze swept over those familiar faces, but he had only taken two steps when —
“Dad, what are they talking about? They’re saying you’re nouveau riche or something?”
His daughter strode over and took the large tray from his hands. She had him carry little Ergou, and looked around in astonishment.
“No, no, it’s nothing!”
Lu Xiao panicked and hurriedly pushed his daughter to leave. He was worried that his daughter wouldn’t like him because of this.
Actually, his previous daughter had promised to accompany him out for a meal many times before. However, every time she heard people talking about him, her face would fall. In the end, she refused to accompany him out because she felt that he was too embarrassing.
Lu Xiao was worried that his real daughter would feel the same way. He had waited so long for her to come back.
Lu An was speechless. “Dad, what are you doing?
“Did you do something wrong? Why do you look like you’re hiding something?”
“I…” If he told his daughter that he hadn’t done anything wrong and that these people were slandering him, would his daughter believe him?
Father Lu was extremely nervous. He had never felt so helpless before.
Lu An became even more indignant. She turned around to those people and said, “And you guys, who are you?
“How about each and every one of you look in the mirror? What’s wrong with my dad being a nouveau riche? Did he eat your meat or drink your soup?
“And so what if the police don’t dare arrest him? That just means that he didn’t do anything wrong! Otherwise, do you think that the police just loaf around, and don’t catch bad people?
“Each and every one of you, just running your mouths off about other people. Are you children?
“Shameless!”
The young lady’s eyes were full of disdain. She pulled a face at those people as she spoke, then turned to her father and said, “Dad, straighten your back in the future. If you didn’t do anything wrong, your conscience is clear!
“Also, remember these people’s faces. In the future, if any one of them dares to come and borrow money from you, throw them out. If they’re so capable, let them find their own way. As long as it’s not against the law, we’ll just enjoy ourselves and do whatever we like, alright?”
The young lady raised her voice slightly, and her little face was pure and bright.
Father Lu nodded. “Yes! Yes!”
He had never experienced being protected by his daughter before!
He hurried to give an explanation.
