Chapter 27: CH 27.1

Lu Rong, the newcomer drawn by a necklace worth 13 million yuan, looked at the pole dance on stage speechlessly, which was being performed by men. He said seriously to Fang Qing, “I’m underage.”

“I’ll pick a lady’s wine for you.” Fang Qing spoke confidently, and shook her head resentfully, “20 years ago, when I was your age, I was the best disco dancer in our small town.”

Lu Rong: “Didn’t you have to go to school?”

Fang Qing: “No need.”

Lu Rong: “…” Forgot that you only have a junior high school education.

Fang Qing put her arms around him: “Rong Rong, your mother will be someone else’s bride tomorrow, and she will no longer belong to you alone. You can get drunk with me tonight.”

Lu Rong: “…”

Fang Qing looked at him tenderly: “Rong Rong, you can tell your mother whatever you have in mind, and treat your mother as your best friend.”

Lu Rong was speechless: “I’m a man.”

Fang Qing said: “You, are you sad? Mom fell in love with someone else. He is so gentle and elegant, smart and capable. When other men are losing their hair and losing shape, he still maintains the image of Bai Yansong. He is my true son. We will go to the movies together, unlike you, you can only do homework at home every week, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.”

Lu Rong drank the cocktail in his hand and said to the bartender: “Give me another drink.” Damn really. It’s annoying to think of him as a girlfriend, or a plastic sisterhood kind of thing.

Fang Qing leaned on his shoulder: “Poor baby, mom will always love you. If you say you don’t want mom to get married now…”

Lu Rong: “I wish you happiness.”

Fang Qing: “…Anyway, I won’t promise you. But I can promise you other conditions, tonight.”

Lu Rong got the second glass of wine: “Really? Anything is fine?”

Fang Qing thought for a while before answering: “Really.”

Lu Rong was very alert: “What were you thinking about in the past two seconds?”

Fang Qing looked away obediently: “It’s nothing.”

Lu Rong: OK nausea. He drank the wine glass again.

Fang Qing: “If you have nothing else to do, I’ll go dancing~”

Lu Rong: “I thought you planned to stay with me all night.”

Fang Qing: “I originally planned that, so from the wedding rehearsal I escaped from the scene, I didn’t want to walk around in high heels all night, but the result? You are even less passionate than your Uncle Ji.”

Lu Rong: “Don’t compare me with a 40-year-old man.”

Fang Qing said seriously: “This is too much, your Uncle Ji is very passionate, and his skills are superb.”

Lu Rong took a sip of wine, swallowed it in despair, and said to the bartender: “Give me another drink. A stronger one.”

Fang Qing held the huge and conspicuous diamond necklace on her chest and turned to him: “And he gave me a necklace worth 13 million. You only gave me a greeting card painted by yourself on Qingming Festival.”

The man next to them came up and asked, “Hi, are you dancing?”

Lu Rong protected Fang Qing: “Sorry, she’s getting married tomorrow.”

The man blinked at him: “I’m asking you.”

Lu Rong: “…”

Fang Qing jumped off the high stool and pushed the man: “In front of such a beautiful woman, make an appointment with a young guy, huh?”

The man: “I’m gay.”

Fang Qing barbarically pushed him firmly: “Do you know who the person who married my son today is, huh? He looks so handsome!”

Lu Rong: “…”

The bartender served the wine to Lu Rong, and Lu Rong pushed it back directly: “…change it to a 52-degree Red Star Erguotou for me.”

Fang Qing went to the bathroom, and when she came back, she found that her son who had knocked on the Red Star Erguotou had jumped up on stage, pushed away the performers, and was now doing a pole dance.

Fang Qing said to the bartender: “Give me ten roses. I want to give them to the young man on the stage.”

The bartender calmly wiped the glass: “He seems to be your son.”

Fang Qing stared at Lu Rong and shook her head seriously: “Correction, he was actually born to my good sister and my ex-husband’s brother, but I do consider him my own son. I can’t let my son pole dance at the bar for the first time without this old aunt plugging his underwear with roses—he can’t lose at the starting line of life.”

The bartender: “…”

Fang Qing said sternly: “Don’t say it, or people will think that he cheated to get popular.”

Ten o’clock in the evening, Ji Tong sat at the dining table and called Fang Qing facing ten empty wine bottles: “Is your party over? It seems not yet… I think you have to come back, we are getting married tomorrow.”

Fang Qing: “Hi! I feel like my life has reached a climax! I feel like my life has reached its peak! Rong Rong, take off another piece!”

Ji Tong: “…”

Ji Wenfeng finished editing the video and came to eat supper, then he opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of soda water, at this time he heard Ji Tong say incredulously behind his back: “Are you at the bar with Lu Rong?”

Ji Wenfeng turned around, stared at Ji Tong coldly, and opened the soda water with one hand.

Ji Tong was startled, swallowed, looked away and stammered to the phone: “Fang Qing, you have to come back quickly, our house has access control…”

Fang Qing: “Access control? You didn’t say that? “

Ji Tong: “Now I have it, let me see… it will shut down at eleven o’clock in the evening.” He looked at his watch and said.

Ji Wenfeng categorically said: “Ten o’clock.”

Ji Tong: “… Ten o’clock. You have violated the rules.”

Fang Qing said dejectedly, “Okay.” Not long after, she came back drunk with Lu Rong who was also drunk.

Ji Tong supported Fang Qing who was still: “Hello”. While Ji Wenfeng hugged Lu Rong horizontally and stood there staring at Ji Tong coldly.

Ji Tong found that his son’s physical strength was amazing, and said incoherently: “I, I’m sorry about what happened tonight…”

Ji Wenfeng said gloomily: “It’s good to know, it’s not an example.” After speaking, he turned and went upstairs with Lu Rong in his arms.

Ji Tong stood where he was, lost in thought: Why did I apologize just now?

Then he thought again: Xiao Feng’s posture while holding Rong Rong is very handsome.

Ji Tong bent down, intending to imitate his son’s posture and hug Fang Qing horizontally, only to hear a click.

The phone in Ji Wenfeng’s pocket rang, and Ji Tong’s deep and mature bass came out: “Xiao Feng.”

Ji Wenfeng: “Say.”

Ji Tong: “My waist is broken, come down and help me.”

Ji Wenfeng: “…”

Lu Rong woke up the next day with a splitting headache. He looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was past nine o’clock, and he squinted his eyes and went downstairs to eat. The house was plastered with happy words, but it was quiet, as if there was no one there. The aunt had prepared a hangover soup for him, and he sat at the table and swallowed it slowly, slowly trying to restart the machine. After the hangover, his mind was not very active, he just felt very dazed.

He took a little effort to recall who he was, where he was, and what he was doing, and then remembered that today was Ji Tong and Fang Qing’s big day. They should have already rushed to the hotel to prepare and spend their bridal night in the presidential suite of Boyue Longhu. It was said that they planned to go abroad for their honeymoon next.

After going through all the procedures of their marriage, Lu Rong found that it had nothing to do with him. His role as a tool man had been completed in yesterday’s wedding rehearsal. Today he only needed to be there on time during the dinner and sit eating at the table with his name written on it, grabbing gifts, and quiz with prizes would do. He breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the stove, took the still warm glutinous rice balls, and ate them with relish.

Ji Wenfeng suddenly appeared at the door. Lu Rong stopped chewing, Ji Wenfeng’s complexion was really not very good, his eyelids were black and blue, it seemed that he didn’t sleep well last night. This made his originally cold and stern face look even more serious and cold.

Ji Wenfeng crossed his arms and asked him in a cold voice: “Where were you last night?”

Lu Rong thought about it slowly, he went to the nightclub with Fang Qing yesterday, and got very drunk. This was a big breaking news, what woman would take her teenage son to a nightclub? Even as a second marriage partner, it was too embarrassing. If Ji Wenfeng seized this handle and stabbed Ji Tong with it, the marriage might not be consummated. Ji Tong might still put the title on Fang Qing: “You are not a serious woman at all!” Then run away like yesterday.

For Fang Qing’s future, he must keep this secret.

Without saying a word, he put down the glutinous rice balls and went out gracefully.

Ji Wenfeng looked at him coldly, and when he approached, he supported the beam of the door with his palm, not letting him go: “I’m asking you something.”

Lu Rong brewed his feelings, and said rebelliously to Ji Wenfeng: “Does it have something to do with you? You are not my brother.” After finishing speaking, he slipped past him with a straight face, slipped back again, picked up the glutinous rice balls on the table, and sneaked past him again cleverly. Before Fang Qing was successfully married off, he couldn’t reveal a word, even if he had to pretend to have a cold war with Ji Wenfeng for this, he had to act.

Lu Rong rushed to his room, closed the door, and sat at the table eating glutinous rice balls with gusto, when the cell phone on the table rang suddenly. The caller was Fang Qing.

Lu Rong: “What’s wrong?”

There was a lot of noise on Fang Qing’s side, while she had lowered her voice as she said, “Rong Rong, are you awake?”

As soon as Lu Rong heard her tone, he knew that something was wrong: “What trouble did you get into again?”

Fang Qing: “Actually, it’s nothing serious hehe, mom just wanted to ask you if you slept well yesterday hehehe…”

Lu Rong: “I’ll count to three.”

Fang Qing’s voice was heartbroken: “…I lost my necklace.”

Lu Rong’s spoon fell into the bowl.

Lu Rong: “Is that the string of thirteen million?”

Fang Qing was about to cry: “…I still want to wear it at my wedding today.”

Lu Rong: “…”

After Fang Qing finished speaking, Ji Tong shouted from behind: “Fang Qing! We’re going on location. Are you ready for makeup?—Where’s your necklace?”

Lu Rong heard Fang Qing cover the microphone and say to Ji Tong: “My necklace was left at home. I asked Rong Rong to look for it, can I wear a fake one first, all looks are a bit boring without a necklace.”

Ji Tong: “…”

Fang Qing saw that something was wrong, and dumped the blame on Lu Rong, and said noisily to Lu Rong on the other end of the phone: “I asked you to put the necklace in my bag, I asked you to put the necklace in my bag, but you want to take it out and show it to Brother Xiao Feng, is something wrong now? Hurry up and return the necklace!”

Ji Tong said helplessly to Lu Rong on the phone: “Rong Tong, after we get married, I will give you a necklace that Brother Xiao Feng likes. But you have to bring over the necklace you got first. Return that one, within an hour, okay? We still have to go on location.”

Fang Qing: “Yes! I want to see the necklace in an hour!”

After finishing speaking, she hung up the phone first, and sent a WeChat message while Ji Tong was not paying attention to Lu Rong: “Please!!! Rong Rong!!! For the sake of raising you, please help me this time!!!!”

Lu Rong: “…”

After closing the line, Lu Rong looked at the unfinished bowl of glutinous rice balls in front of him, and his stomach hurt.

Lu Rong had an emergency plan for finding Fang Qing’s lost things. The last time he saw Fang Qing’s necklace was at the nightclub yesterday, and Fang Qing went home after that…it should be. He sent a message to confirm this with Fang Qing and made a reasonable guess: if they were lucky, she would have left the necklace at home; if they were unlucky, she would have left the necklace at the nightclub.

Lu Rong shuddered at the thought of the possibility of losing the necklace in a nightclub. The tens of millions of necklaces lost in nightclubs was probably the same as the bicycles lost in the vegetable market.

He asked Fang Qing for the style and name of the necklace, searched for pictures on Baidu, sent them to the Villain Team, and issued an order: go to the “Deep Night” hotel now, immediately, to inquire about the whereabouts of this necklace.

Li Nanbian: “Have we opened a private detective business?”

Lu Rong: “It’s okay if you understand it that way.”

Li Nanbian immediately entered the state: “What does the client look like? Male or female? When did it get lost?”

Lu Rong: “Middle-aged woman, last night.”

Li Nanbian: “Got it, I’ll go talk to mb, male models, young masters, etc.”

Yan Gou immediately searched the information of all male sex workers and summarized and put it in the group.

Li Nanbian: “Old Yan, how can you even find such obscene things?”

Yan Gou: “It is precisely because of obscenity that I am very proficient in finding them.”

Li Nanbian flipped through casually: “Why have you grown so vulgarly? How can you be a cowherd if you are so ugly?”

Liang Wendao joined the chat: “Have you noticed the one with a Ph.D.”

Nanbian: “Is it too late for us to study hard now?”

Lu Rong: “…”

Lu Rong: “When you go, remember to bring Deng Te, just in case.”

Lu Rong asked Li Nanbian, Yan Gou, Liang Wendao, and Deng Te in the city to rush to “Deep Night” first, while he leaned out the door to make sure that there was no sign of Ji Wenfeng in the corridor, and then sneaked into the bedrooms of Ji Tong and Fang Qing. There was also a large dressing room in the bedroom. If the necklace was left at home, it must be here.

Lu Rong entered the room and began to look through the drawers one by one. He was shocked when he opened the first drawer – he found a box of unpacked condoms in the bedside table.

Lu Rong: “…”

The saddest thing was that the drawer got stuck when it was pulled out and couldn’t be closed. He tried a few times to make sure that something underneath was stuck on the slide of the upper drawer and tried to reach in and pull it out. The result was a bright yellow sexy underwear, as light as a cicada’s wing, as flamboyant as Ellie, it was a style of coquettish underwear that he had never seen before.

Lu Rong: “…” I really want to see an ophthalmologist.

At this moment, Ji Wenfeng’s low and deep voice sounded from behind: “What are you doing?”

Lu Rong took advantage of the opportunity to hide the bright yellow sexy underwear in his trouser pocket.

At this time, only the first drawer was open, and the first drawer was not for underwear but for miscellaneous items. If he put it into it rashly, accidents would happen if Ji Wenfeng checked it. He also couldn’t open the second drawer under Ji Wenfeng’s eyelids, it was too late and the movement was too loud, so he chose to destroy the corpse directly.

After Lu Rong was sure that he had hidden his sexy underwear, he turned around and faced Ji Wenfeng calmly.

Ji Wenfeng’s eyebrows and eyes became more serious: “Who told you to come in?”

Lu Rong stroked it quickly: If you told him that you are looking for Fang Qing’s necklace, it’s okay if the necklace was left in the room, but what if it was left in the nightclub. The fact that Fang Qing went to the nightclub to dance disco would be exposed.

Therefore, he couldn’t tell the whole story, so he could only give Ji Wenfeng some information with some reservations.

Lu Rong: “My mother asked me to find something.”

Ji Wenfeng’s eyes fell on the upper drawer: “What are you looking for?”

Lu Rong: “…”

Lu Rong didn’t dare to talk nonsense, if he said something casual, once he found it, what reason would he have to keep looking for the necklace?

Seeing that he couldn’t answer, Ji Wenfeng said coldly: “Get out of the way, I want to check.”

Lu Rong knew what was in the drawer, and once Ji Wenfeng checked, he would think he was stealing condoms. Although he was ready to take the blame for Fang Qing but the pot was really big, heavy and unbearable, and he couldn’t be reconciled after thinking about it.

Lu Rong tried to stop Ji Wenfeng and started to act: “You suspect me of stealing?! Am I such a person in your eyes?!”

Although they were about the same height, Ji Wenfeng was more diligent than Lu Rong in exercising. He pushed him on the bed beside him, squatted down and opened the drawer, and found a box of condoms that had been removed.

Ji Wenfeng: “…”

Ji Wenfeng raised his head gloomily: “Your mother asked you to take this?”

Lu Rong saw from his eyes that his brain hole could no longer be closed, and he could no longer make any effective resistance, so he turned around and went to find the necklace elsewhere. Ji Wenfeng folded his arms coldly, staring at his back like a searchlight: Last night you came back with his pants stuffed with roses and banknotes, and this morning you stole condoms in his parents’ room again, it’s okay, Lu Rong.
