When a Blade of Grass Wants to Become Immortal

Chapter 75: Chapter 74: The Overbearing CEO’s Little Wildcat 15

Ji Xiaosong looked toward the sound and saw a young woman in a blouse and short skirt standing before Lu Youheng, a guilty expression on her face.

She clutched an empty coffee cup in one hand while the other brazenly reached for Lu Youheng’s clothes, attempting to wipe them clean, yet she wasn’t even holding a napkin.

Lu Youheng had his back to Ji Xiaosong, completely blocking her view and preventing her from seeing his expression.

The woman’s flustered state, combined with the sight of Lu Youheng’s tall, straight back, created a scene ripe for speculation, and a strange ripple spread through Ji Xiaosong’s heart.

Eldest Lu, Second Lu, and Third Lu reacted the fastest. Held by their nannies and unable to get down, they opened their mouths and shouted in unison, ”Daddy!”

Hearing his children’s cries, a surprised smile instantly blossomed on Lu Youheng’s face. He quickly turned around, his gaze locking directly onto Ji Xiaosong and the boys.

”My darlings!” Lu Youheng’s voice was full of joy and excitement.

The young woman looked even more awkward at that moment. Her outstretched hand froze in mid-air, unsure whether to move forward or pull back.

Her face was flushed bright red, her eyes filled with panic and confusion.

”Mr. Lu, I’m so sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose...” she stammered, her voice trailing off.

Lu Youheng was in no mood to deal with her right now. He strode quickly toward Ji Xiaosong and the children, leaving the woman completely ignored.

”What brings you here to see me today?”

They had been married for so long, and their home was so close, yet Ji Xiaosong had never once come to visit him at work.

”The three boys missed you, so I brought them over. If I hadn’t come, I never would have known you had a little ’sister’ from back home here.”

Ji Xiaosong glanced at the young woman in the distance, whose shocked expression upon seeing her and the three children hadn’t yet faded.

Hearing his wife’s words, Lu Youheng immediately understood. Ji Xiaosong had likely misunderstood the scene she had just witnessed.

He hurriedly explained, ”She’s an intern Assistant Wu hired. Today is the first time I’ve met her. I swear, nothing happened between us before this.”

Ji Xiaosong didn’t say anything, looking instead at Second Lu.

After Second Lu was born, he had told her that he had a system, one that allowed her to read minds.

Back then, because they were too young to speak, giving Ji Xiaosong the ability to read minds had been a convenient way to ensure the three children were better cared for.

”Mom, Dad is telling the truth.”

Second Lu’s mouth didn’t move, but Ji Xiaosong heard his thoughts.

”But Mom, that woman has a Conquest System. Give me a little time, and I’ll have my system absorb hers.”

’A Conquest System?’

Ji Xiaosong raised an eyebrow. ’Interesting.’

”Honey, you have to believe me. I really have nothing to do with her.”

When Ji Xiaosong remained silent, Lu Youheng thought she didn’t believe him.

”I believe you. It’s just that your suit is covered in coffee. You need to change.”

Third Lu then spoke up, his tone flat. ”Dad’s suit is custom-made. A coffee stain that large will be impossible to get out, so this young lady will have to pay for it. The Lu Family’s money doesn’t grow on trees; we can’t be wasteful.”

The young woman stared at Third Lu in disbelief. How could such cold, merciless words come from a child’s mouth?

Did the Lu Family really need the money for one suit?

Did she really have to pay for it?

”Mr... Mr. Lu, I’m still an intern, so I really don’t have any money. I was only able to come study in J Country because I received a scholarship. C-can I stay at the company and pay for it with my salary?”

Before Lu Youheng could reply, Third Lu continued in his flat tone, ”You have no money, but don’t you have a credit card? If your credit card limit is too low, what about an online loan? The Lu Family has strict educational requirements for its employees. Since you were hired, you must have graduated from a prestigious university.”

It was a long speech, so Third Lu paused to catch his breath before continuing, ”And you want to work it off? You can’t even carry a cup of coffee without spilling it on my father. With such a clumsy disposition, how could you possibly do your job well?”

”You’re incompetent, yet you want to use this incident to secure a job at our family’s company? Why should my family foot the bill for you?”

Ji Xiaosong knew that Third Lu usually seemed indifferent to everything, his world revolving only around food and books. She never expected his fighting spirit to be so strong when it came to his own family.

The woman’s face alternated between pale and flushed as she was berated by the little boy. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, ”Mr. Lu’s sons are as brilliant as they say, able to speak in such long sentences at such a young age. I am merely a fellow countryman of Mr. Lu’s, and I thought he might show some consideration for our shared heritage...”

”Dad, can you call the legal department? It seems this young lady has no intention of letting this matter end amicably.”

Second Lu was getting annoyed. He had just had his system investigate the woman’s background. Her name was Liu Wanqing, and she was the illegitimate daughter of Liu Wanru’s father.

The Conquest System she possessed was newly acquired, and her first mission was to win over Lu Youheng.

Today was her first time meeting Lu Youheng. She hadn’t expected that right after using her beginner’s gift pack, she would run into Ji Xiaosong visiting Lu Youheng’s company for the very first time.

”Mr. Lu, I’ll pay! I never said I wouldn’t! I just don’t have the money right now.”

Liu Wanqing had already done her research on the Lu Family. Though her information was incomplete, she knew that for a multinational corporation of this size, the legal department would not be a pushover.

Lu Youheng ignored her and instead made a call to Assistant Wu.

”You hired her. You deal with it.”

After saying that, he paid no mind to Liu Wanqing’s expression, took Ji Xiaosong’s hand, and prepared to leave.

”Mr. Lu, you used to be engaged to someone from the Liu Family. It was only because my sister was... restless that you two later called it off. I’m a Liu too. Even if not for my sake, then for the Liu Family’s. After all, the Liu Family has worked with you before. Please let me stay. I’m sure my abilities will convince you.”

Lu Youheng laughed in exasperation. ”A moment ago, you were saying you had no money and couldn’t even afford to replace my suit. Now you’re a member of the Liu Family? If you’re from the Liu Family, would you be short on cash for a little compensation like this? One day. I’m giving you one day to transfer the money to the account Assistant Wu provides. Otherwise, you can wait to hear from our legal department.”

Ji Xiaosong lowered her head and smiled. She hadn’t said a single word, yet the fighting spirit of the men in her family was terrifyingly strong.

No matter how much Liu Wanqing stomped her feet and cried behind them, Lu Youheng never looked back. He led Ji Xiaosong and their three sons into his office.

Behind the office was a small private lounge with a change of clothes hanging inside.

”You all take the three young masters for a tour of the company to get them familiar with the place. My wife will help me with my clothes.”

Lu Youheng dismissed the children and their nannies, then led Ji Xiaosong into the lounge.
