Chapter 2 (2/2)

Who knew that Lu Qi would take a step back!

Cheng Ming stood still in shock and embarrassment, his hand still extended.

Lu Xiu placed his hand over his mouth as if to hide a cough. “Apologies Mr. Cheng. My younger brother has germaphobia. Please don’t take it to heart.”

The people around dissolved into laughter. A Germaphobe refusing to shake hands, isn’t that just another way of saying that Cheng Ming’s hands were dirty?

“Dad, didn’t you prepare some fine wine for young master Lu to taste?” Cheng Xiao took a step forward to ease the awkward scene.

Although she was talking to Cheng Ming, her eyes were fixed on Lu Xiu. She smiled slightly and showed her best manners.

The door was swarmed with people. Men and women in all kinds of dresses and designer suits crowded there. Cheng Ling hung up the phone, glanced at the crowd, notified Xie Ying, and was ready to leave first.

The moonlight outside the window was gentle like water. Lu Qi coughed softly.

“Are You alright? I told you I could handle this myself. You’re not feeling well, why did you come with me?”Lu Xiu asked with a hint of anxiousness.

“I’m fine. You stay here and deal with the Cheng family. I’ll go deal with Chen Jin.”Lu Qi patted Lu Xiu’s shoulder and walked into the darkness of the night.
