Chapter 18 Braised Cucumber
"Ah..." She couldn't take it anymore and fled the scene, hiding back in her room.
Zhang Liangzhi was startled, spilling the tea in his hand: "What happened?"
Rong Changqing burst into laughter: "It's nothing, it's just our daily life as a married couple."
Zhang Liangzhi pulled out a tissue and wiped the water stains off the table, casually asking, "I only stayed abroad for a while, and you got married. What did your family say?"
“It has nothing to do with them.” Rong Changqing said casually. “I don’t need their permission to do what I want.”
"how about you?"
Rong Changqing's lips curled slightly, a wicked smile blooming on his face: "Of course, Qianqian is too charming."
"Cough cough..." Zhang Liangzhi spat out a mouthful of tea. This guy really knows how to pretend.
Since he couldn't get any information out of him, he gave up and said, "You can enjoy your braised cucumber tonight, I'll go arrange the move."
Rong Changqing lazily stood up from the sofa, his hands in his pockets: "Why move so late at night?"
Zhang Liangzhi waved his hand: "I'm afraid things might get complicated if I wait too long!"
After all, it's Imperial Palace No. 9, so there are a lot of people vying for it.
At this moment, Qitiao emerged from the kitchen and said earnestly, "Boss, it's clearly braised crayfish."
Rong Changqing asked her, "Do you add cucumber to it?"
Seven nodded: "Yes, we added it. As for side dishes."
Rong Changqing said in a serious tone, "That's braised cucumber. Go and tell Madam to come down for dinner."
Seven: "..."
……
Lu Qianqian has been living in misery these past few days. Rong Changqing has been acting strangely, serving her not only braised cucumbers in oil, but also stir-fried sausages and even some bizarre dishes like dry-fried bananas!
She's going crazy.
So when Zhang Shengqin called her to invite her to dinner, she immediately agreed.
The agreed-upon location was Tingxue Pavilion, a small, picturesque restaurant. When Lu Qianqian arrived, Zhang Shengqin was looking very impatient.
He's been very frustrated these past few days because Zhang Jingyao's problem hasn't been resolved yet.
"Miss, may I ask..."
When the waiter greeted them, Zhang Shengqin spotted her immediately and waved, "Qianqian, over here."
Lu Qianqian instantly felt disgusted, as if she had swallowed a fly.
The way he called her Qianqian was more painful than a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung.
Lu Qianqian slowly walked over, sat down, and asked bluntly, "What do you want from me?"
Zhang Shengqin ordered her a juice and even asked, "What would you like to eat?"
Lu Qianqian took the juice and shook her head: "I don't think you asked me out just for dinner."
Zhang Shengqin looked at her with difficulty, and after hesitating for a long time, he said, "Qianqian, now that you are married and I am engaged, it is impossible for us to be together."
Lu Qianqian looked at him in surprise. According to his personality, shouldn't he be arrogant and say "It's impossible for us" in a disdainful tone?
Why are you so calm and collected now?
She was too lazy to play along with his act and asked directly, "You came here for Zhang Jingyao, right?"
Zhang Shengqin nodded, his expression conflicted and helpless: "Jingyao has been the Zhang family's little princess since she was a child, pampered and spoiled. How can she endure such suffering now?"
Lu Qianqian sneered: "She brought this upon herself, how can she blame anyone else?"
"Qianqian!" Zhang Shengqin rubbed his temples in annoyance. "Our matter is none of anyone else's business. You don't need to drag Jingyao into it."
Lu Qianqian burst out laughing: "So you mean to say that Zhang Jingyao's experiences were all slander by me?"
Zhang Shengqin retorted, "Isn't that right?"
Lu Qianqian stood up abruptly, not intending to continue the conversation, and turned to leave.
Zhang Shengqin naturally wouldn't let her leave so easily. He quickly grabbed her hand and deliberately put on a sad face: "Qianqian, please don't be like this."
Lu Qianqian's face turned green instantly, and she quickly pulled her hand out of Zhang Shengqin's, feeling utterly disgusted.
“Zhang Shengqin, don’t you think you’re ridiculous? You say it’s impossible between us, but you’re begging me to do things. Do you think that if you show me some tenderness or sadness, I’ll soften my heart and feel sorry for you? You think too highly of yourself and think too superficially of me!”
Zhang Shengqin was a little stunned by the rebuttal. Lu Qianqian had signed the bone marrow donation agreement for him without hesitation before, and he never expected that such words would come out of her mouth.
No, she must have done it on purpose.
She's definitely trying to play hard to get.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shengqin immediately changed his attitude, putting on an air of profound mystery before her, and asked, "So, what exactly do you want?"
One-night stand?
Or should he spend a day with her?
He'd agree to anything she asked, as long as it wasn't too outrageous!
Lu Qianqian looked at him with a half-smile and asked, "Whatever I want, you'll give it to me?"
Zhang Shengqin sneered inwardly, thinking, "Just as I thought: Tell me what you want. As long as it's not excessive, I'll grant it to you."
Lu Qianqian nodded. Zhang Liangzhi's suggestion to her before was quite good, so she directly said, "Give me 10% of the Zhang family's shares, and I will immediately withdraw the charges against you from the police!"
"What?" Zhang Shengqin never expected that Lu Qianqian would pass up such a good opportunity not to ask him to do things for her, but instead to ask for shares in the Zhang family. "Lu Qianqian, are you really sure about this?"
"Of course, I've thought it through very clearly."
Ten percent may not seem like much, but given the Zhang family's stingy nature, they'd probably only be able to give up ten percent of their shares for their daughter's sake.
Zhang Shengqin was furious and gritted his teeth: "Lu Qianqian, you're already married to President Peng, do you still lack money?"
Ten percent of Zhang's Real Estate shares would generate hundreds of millions in revenue annually; she really dared to ask for it.
Lu Qianqian shrugged: "You're right, I don't lack money right now, but no one will complain about having too much money. You can ask me to, and it's up to you whether you agree or not. Anyway, the trial starts tomorrow afternoon, and once she's convicted, Zhang Jingyao will have to stay in there!"
Zhang Shengqin was so angry he almost vomited blood. This woman was completely out of her mind. If she had asked him to stay with her for a month, he would have agreed.
It's incredibly shallow of them to ask for money; it's truly despicable.
"I need to go back and discuss this with my parents. I'll get back to you tomorrow morning."
“No, I’ll reply tonight.” Lu Qianqian didn’t give him a chance to bargain. “Otherwise, I’ll oversleep tomorrow morning and miss the court hearing. Even if you give me the entire Zhang family then, there’ll be nothing I can do.”
Zhang Shengqin slammed his hand on the table: "Lu Qianqian, you win."
After saying that, he turned and left angrily, but Lu Qianqian called out to him, "Hey, remember to pay the bill."
