342 Reward for Visiting

Lu Benwei’s mouth twitched.

To be honest, he did not want to go to this class reunion. After graduating from junior high, he rarely contacted his junior high classmates. However, Chu Yan had just snatched the red packet for him, so he had to go to this gathering.

At this time, Zhang Minghua said in the group, “Everyone has finished their martial arts assessment. Those who are studying and those who are joining society are joining. You can bring your family along with you to this gathering! No matter what, I’ll take care of the Four Seas Pavilion tomorrow!”

The next second, someone immediately complimented, “D*mn, Zhang Minghua, you’re rich! The Four Seas Pavilion is expensive!”

“Zhang Minghua is a big boss now.” Someone else chimed in. “It’s a piece of cake for him to book the Four Seas Pavilion.”

“No need to say that. My family just makes a small fortune by selling pork. It’s almost the new year!”

Zhang Minghua kept showing off in the group. This made many people gnash their teeth in jealousy.

Just as Lu Benwei was about to put down his phone, Zhang Minghua tagged Yang Xiaofei in the group.

“Xiaofei, are you coming?”

Yang Xiaofei did not respond. Instead, she started a private chat with Lu Benwei.

“Brother Lu, are you going?”

“Yes. I just snatched his red packet. It’ll be embarrassing if I don’t go.” Lu Benwei typed a reply.

“Did I do something wrong?” Chu Yan asked playfully.

“It doesn’t matter. If it was a normal day, I’d also snatch it,” Lu Benwei said lightly, “It’s a good thing I can bring my family along. I can bring you along too.”

Chu Yan’s face turned red when she heard this.

After a while, Yang Xiaofei replied in the group, “I’ll go!”

In an instant, the group chat exploded, and the beeping sound of notifications kept ringing.

Lu Benwei pressed the silence button and sighed in relief. “It’s getting late, go to sleep.”

“Alright!” Chu Yan nodded and tiptoed back to her bedroom.

She opened the door, and a ray of moonlight shone in. After Chu Yan entered the room, she stuck her head out.

Lu Benwei looked over, and his eyes became blank.

The bright moonlight shone on Chu Yan’s body, making her look hazy and indistinct, like a cold and elegant fairy from heaven.

“Good night,” Chu Yan said in a low voice.

After a long time, Lu Benwei replied, “Good night.”

…

The next morning.

Lu Benwei was still sleepy when he was woken up by Lu Dayong and Jiang Xiuqin’s voices.

“What time is it already? Why aren’t you getting up?”

Lu Benwei rubbed his drowsy eyes and looked at his door.

“Isn’t Chu Yan still sleeping?”

“She has come all the way from Jiujiang,” Jiang Xiuqin said impatiently, “She’s tired from the long journey. What’s wrong with sleeping a little longer?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lu Benwei was dumbfounded. He had seen double standards, but he had never seen such double standards.

“Didn’t I also come back from Jiujiang?” Lu Benwei retorted.

Jiang Xiuqin was stunned for a moment, and then said, “You’re a boy, how can you be the same? Get up quickly and accompany me to the market to buy some vegetables. I’ll cook something delicious for you all at noon!”

Lu Benwei thought to himself, ‘It’s for Chu Yan, right?’

However, he did not say it out loud. He only said, “Mom, it’s okay. I’m taking her out to play today. We won’t be having lunch at home.”

“Bring Little Yan out to play? That’s good. You should bring more people out to shop.”

After a pause, Jiang Xiuqin said, “You still have to get up and buy some groceries. I’ll cook when you’re free.”

Lu Benwei pouted helplessly and got out of bed.

After shopping with Jiang Xiuqin at the market, Lu Benwei returned home with big and small bags of vegetables.

Chu Yan woke up at this time and it was almost 10 o’clock.

Lu Benwei put down the vegetables, washed up, and went out with Chu Yan.

However, as soon as he left, someone knocked on Lu Benwei’s door.

“Hello, is this Lu Benwei’s home?”

Lu Dayong immediately opened the door when he heard it was a delivery for Lu Benwei. The next second, he was frightened by the scene in front of him.

“Yang… Governor Yang… Why are you here?” Lu Dayong was shocked.

Yang Wudi and the six officials who accompanied him were all dressed in suits and leather shoes. They stood at the door of Lu Benwei’s house.

One of them, who seemed to be Yang Wudi’s bodyguard, was holding a black box. Even from a distance, Lu Dayong could feel the weight of the black box.

“Brother Lu, you’ve really raised a promising son!” Yang Wu Di patted Lu Dayong’s shoulder.

Yang Wudi had met Lu Benwei’s family when he was still the mayor of Qingling City, so he did not stand on ceremony with them.

However, Lu Dayong was different. Yang Wudi was now a provincial governor, while he was only a small deputy division level officer. The difference was huge.

Jiang Xiuqin was also frightened by this scene and quickly asked, “Governor Yang, are you here to look for Little Lu?”

“Yeah, I just found out today that Lu Benwei won the National Class Tournament, and the second place is also your adopted daughter!” Yang Wudi’s face bloomed like a chrysanthemum flower.

“I’m here today to present the first and second place prizes.”

...

On the other side, Yang Wudi’s commotion had attracted the attention of his neighbors.

When they heard that old Lu’s son and adopted daughter had won first and second place in the National Class Tournament, the entire community was in an uproar.

“Holy sh*t, is this for real? The son and adopted daughter of the family on the sixth floor are the champions of this year’s National Class Tournament?”

“Governor Yang has come personally. How can it be fake?”

“F*ck, the heavens are so unfair. Two top scholars came from the same family, and they’re the first and second place!”

Lu Dayong was left scratching his head in confusion after learning of Yang Wudi’s intentions.

“That’s not right. Didn’t that kid say that there would be a rematch?”

“Brother Lu, what did you say?” Yang Wudi’s face changed.

“No… It’s nothing,” Lu Dayong said, “Governor Yang, please come in and take a seat.”

“It’s fine, I’ll leave right after I deliver the prizes. Is Lu Benwei home? Why isn’t he out?” Yang Wudi chuckled.

Lu Dayong suddenly slapped his thigh. “Lu Benwei just went out to play. He won’t be back until nighttime.”

...

“Then I came at the wrong time. When the higher-ups handed me the reward, they told me to hand it to Lu Benwei personally. “Brother Lu, can you tell me where he went?” Yang Wudi asked, a little disappointed.

“He said he was looking for his classmate. I think he’s at the Four Seas Pavilion,” Lu Dayong said.

“If that’s the case, then I’ll have to make another trip,” Yang Wudi said with a smile.

“Governor Yang, I’ll just call that kid back.” Lu Dayong tried to persuade him.

However, Yang Wudi’s insistence forced Lu Dayong to compromise.
