Chapter 393 Lu Mingzhong's Side Story 3

Lu Mingzhong was exhausted, both physically and mentally, after being dragged around by Lu Yuanqing to meet everyone.

Having finally found an opportunity, he immediately moved away from Lu Yuanqing and hid in a corner of the manor.

A few minutes later, no one came, and Lu Mingzhong was even more satisfied with the place he had found.

"Xiaoxiao, don't go! I still have something to tell you!"

The sudden sound froze Lu Mingzhong's smile, which he hadn't yet managed to suppress.

I looked over out of curiosity.

I saw a man and a woman. The man was blocking the woman, and although the woman had a dignified smile on her face, she seemed to want to leave.

Lu Mingzhong could tell that the other person was completely resistant, just like he was very resistant to being dragged by Lu Yuanqing to meet people.

However, his unwillingness was clearly written on his face.

But this girl had a polite smile on her face.

Lu Mingzhong continued reading.

The girl smiled, but said firmly, "I have something to do, so I won't bother you any longer."

Man: "No! Xiaoxiao, don't go. You know how I feel, and both our families are happy for our relationship. It's destined, so don't resist me too much!"

Sheng Xiaoxiao skillfully forced herself to suppress the urge to roll her eyes. "Zhang Guangzong, come find me again after the marriage between our two families is truly confirmed!"

Who is this person?!

Zhang Guangzong chuckled, "It's bound to happen sooner or later, why wait until then!"

"Xiaoxiao, you understand my feelings. I've liked you since I was little, and I'm determined to marry you."

Sheng Xiaoxiao smiled on the surface, but inwardly she rolled her eyes.

"I don't like you! If I remember correctly, I've told you that countless times."

Zhang Guangzong's smile vanished, replaced by anger and embarrassment. "If you don't like me, who do you like?"

"Sheng Xiaoxiao, besides me, who else would dare to marry you in this life? Stop smiling, I've seen that fake smile of yours for so many years, and I don't find a single bit of sincerity in it."

"What? You've really forgotten what you looked like when you were little? Who was it that set off firecrackers to blow up cow dung while on vacation at a farmhouse?"

"Pfft!"

Sheng Xiaoxiao was already annoyed by Zhang Guangzong's words, and subconsciously wanted to see if anyone was around when she heard laughter.

The sudden laughter immediately drew the attention of the two men facing off.

Lu Mingzhong wasn't embarrassed at all when he was caught.

This is his own home, what's there for him to be embarrassed about?

Therefore, when faced with the two unfriendly gazes, Lu Mingzhong said very seriously, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hear that."

"Who gave you permission to eavesdrop here?" Zhang Guangzong said in a bad tone.

Sheng Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed that her own embarrassing past had been overheard by outsiders, but she recognized Lu Mingzhong's identity. To prevent Zhang Guangzong from doing something reckless, she quickly said, "They came first, we came later, it wasn't intentional that we were overheard."

Lu Mingzhong raised an eyebrow. "That's right, I was here first. I overheard your conversation, but it wasn't intentional."

Zhang Guangzong was unhappy, partly because Sheng Xiaoxiao ignored him, and partly because Sheng Xiaoxiao actually spoke up for Lu Mingzhong.

When love takes hold, this person loses all reason and completely forgets that the people who appear here are not to be easily offended.

"Hmph, eavesdropping is eavesdropping, don't try to deny it!"

Lu Mingzhong was speechless: "Then what do you want?"

It really was Lu Yuanqing who said it.

He's like a lump of dough, someone anyone can bully?

"Do not……"

"Snapped!"

Sheng Xiaoxiao stood on tiptoe and slapped Zhang Guangzong on the back of the head, angrily saying, "I already said it wasn't intentional, why are you still making a fuss? Are you looking for a beating?"

"Ouch! That hurts, Xiaoxiao, be gentle."

Lu Mingzhong stared in disbelief as Sheng Xiaoxiao, dressed in glamorous clothes, beat Zhang Guangzong without any regard for his image, while Zhang Guangzong dared not fight back and awkwardly dodged.

Lu Mingzhong took a deep breath. Well, he had already accepted that Sheng Xiaoxiao's appearance and true nature were completely unrelated.

Uh!

Or rather, they were already prepared when they heard about the frying of cow dung.

Panting, Sheng Xiaoxiao gave Zhang Guangzong a good dressing down before pretending to be a dignified young lady again, and said to Lu Mingzhong with an embarrassed expression, "Sorry, he's not very bright, I had to teach him a lesson!"

Lu Mingzhong glanced at Zhang Guangzong, who was holding back his anger, then at Sheng Xiaoxiao, smiled, and said, "It's nothing. I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Have fun!

Lu Mingzhong finished speaking and then left, missing them.

It's a pity he didn't even get to stay in the great spot he just found for ten minutes!

Zhang Guangzong watched him leave and snorted disdainfully.

"Still having fun? Who does he think he is!"

Sheng Xiaoxiao no longer needed to pretend; she simply rolled her eyes and flew over.

"How can he not be qualified? Do you even know who he is? How dare you offend people like that? Zhang Guangzong, are you an idiot?"

Zhang Guangzong felt very wronged after being called an idiot again.

"Xiaoxiao, why are you yelling at me! It's true! He knew we were talking here, but he didn't even try to stay away. He was eavesdropping! Humph!"

His daughter Xiaoxiao's embarrassing past has been revealed to an outsider.

Sheng Xiaoxiao will definitely not let him off the hook. What if she avoids him for several days and can't see him?

Why bring up something you shouldn't say!

Sheng Xiaoxiao slapped him again, "You still have the nerve to say that? Who told you to talk about my dark past? Huh? You don't know how terrible I'll be if my mom hears this!"

Zhang Guangzong felt wronged, but also realized that he had made a mistake.

"Xiaoxiao, don't be angry. I really didn't mean it. Really, it's your fault for ignoring me!"

Having been strictly raised by her mother, Sheng Xiaoxiao has completely lost the liveliness she had as a child; she's practically a different person.

Zhang Guangzong was most afraid of Sheng Xiaoxiao, who had changed so much, so he shamelessly brought up her past scandals.

Only in this way will Sheng Xiaoxiao transform from a lady into a tyrannical monster and directly teach him a lesson.

This is the Sheng Xiaoxiao he remembers, the person he loves most.

Seeing his submissive manner, Sheng Xiaoxiao's anger dissipated considerably.

The Sheng and Zhang families have always had a good relationship. The two grew up together. Sheng Xiaoxiao had a boyish personality since childhood and played with a group of boys.

However, no girls wanted to hang out with her because of her hobby of frying cow dung!

Zhang Guangzong was the one who liked to pester her the most.

Even if Sheng Xiaoxiao didn't like him, she didn't want him to offend people he shouldn't offend.

"You big idiot!" Sheng Xiaoxiao poked him hard in the chest. "That person just now was from the Lu family!"

"Huh?" Zhang Guangzong opened his mouth in surprise.

No matter how love-struck he is, he knows who the host is today, and he also knows how his sister had warned him not to cause trouble when he arrived at the banquet.

Sheng Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him and said, "You went to the restroom just now, so you didn't see the good show."

"Anyway, you need to remember that the person just now, the current head of the Lu family, called him brother. And he also has the surname Lu. You better keep your eyes open in the future. If you dare to offend someone again, don't come looking for me. Even if you do, I won't pay any attention to you."

Seeing how concerned she was about him, Zhang Guangzong immediately smiled broadly, "Okay, I promise you, I will never offend anyone easily in the future, I understand."

"So Xiaoxiao, you can't avoid seeing me, otherwise I don't know when I'll offend someone again. You have to keep an eye on me!"

The little scheme is obvious.

Sheng Xiaoxiao: "..."

She rolled her eyes, turned around, and left.

She shouldn't talk to an idiot; she shouldn't worry about him.

As soon as Sheng Xiaoxiao left, Zhang Guangzong naturally chased after her.

The corner fell silent again, and then a very beautiful woman emerged from behind the artificial hill.

The woman was exceptionally beautiful, even to the point of being somewhat aggressive.

"The Lu family!!"

The beautiful woman parted her lips slightly.

……

After the rich woman was dealt with, Lu Mingzhong's life returned to normal.

Life has returned to its usual routine of going between two points.

School and home.

He would visit Lu Yuanqing every now and then.

If becoming a teacher is simply a way to have a job, then writing is his only hobby.

Because of this hobby, he also developed a love for reading.

He reads books on all sorts of subjects.

Especially after a flash of inspiration, once he has a clear idea for his next book, he will read a lot of related professional books.

Half a year after his last book ended, Lu Mingzhong had some ideas and decided to write another book.

After briefly considering the subject matter of his next book, Lu Mingzhong finally picked up his keys and left home.

In the upscale apartment, the study is the largest space, where he creates and keeps many of the books he has read.

There is an entire wall of bookshelves in the study.

The bookshelf wasn't full; it was only about a third full.

But the books on top were all ones he had read.

Lu Mingzhong drove to the bookstore.

His novels have a very low repetition rate; each one presents a new worldview and a new story.

As a result, he would read many professional books before each time he started writing an outline.

That's right, he's the kind of person who can create an entire story based on a single inspiration.

In the bookstore, Lu Mingzhong recalled his inspiration and kept refining the story in his mind. For any professional knowledge he was unfamiliar with, he would find relevant books in the bookstore and put them in his basket.

Throughout the entire process, Lu Mingzhong seemed to be in a daze, completely undisturbed.

When he felt a strain in his hands, Lu Mingzhong came to his senses and realized that the basket was almost full.

Lu Mingzhong: "..."

After finding two more books, he finally stopped his frantic book-grabbing spree.

As I carried my basket to the checkout, I happened to see my book displayed on a shelf next to the checkout counter.

"The Golden House" is his second book.

It is also his best-performing book to date.

Lu Mingzhong subconsciously wanted to grab a book and flip through it.

At that moment, other people also reached out to take it.

Lu Mingzhong's outstretched hand collided with a fair hand.

Quickly withdrawing his hand, Lu Mingzhong subconsciously said, "Sorry!"

"Excuse me!"

Two apologies were heard at the same time.

Lu Mingzhong also saw the other person, and even Lu Mingzhong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

For no other reason than that the woman who bumped into him was extremely beautiful, with a delicate oval face, long, arched eyebrows, slightly upturned phoenix eyes, double eyelids, and big eyes.

Her nose was perfectly straight, her lips were red and her lower lip was slightly full. She was smiling, but it looked like she was asking for a kiss.

Lu Mingzhong was surprised for a moment, but that was all.

Sheng Youxia's lips curled up a little more, "You also like 'The Golden House'? It's written by one of my favorite authors!"
