Chapter 341: Well Hidden, Aren’t You?

Chapter 341: Chapter 341: Well Hidden, Aren’t You?

Thankfully, the car wasn’t slow, and it took less than ten minutes to reach the intersection that Lu Jing had just mentioned.

The driver parked the car steadily:

"Mr. Lu, Miss Lu, we’ve arrived."

Lu Jing held Xiao Tang’s hand as they got out of the car:

"Brother, you go ahead with your work; we’re off to eat."

Lu Yan was in formal attire, certainly having something important to attend to.

"Alright, go ahead," he said.

Then, Lu Jing swiftly walked away with Xiao Tang.

Lu Yan instructed the driver to leave only after his sister’s figure was out of sight.

...

Walking on the snack street, both sides were lined with small snack vendors, and the crowd was bustling. What a lively scene!

Xiao Tang leaned in and asked quietly:

"Doctor Lu, is Mr. Lu your real brother?"

Before, Doctor Lu had said that they were related by blood.

So, she had just assumed as much.

But Lu Jing shook her head with a smile:

"Cousins. Both my brother and I are only children, so our relationship has always been quite close."

Xiao Tang’s family had both real brothers and sisters:

"So it is!

Well, I can tell, your cousin cares a lot about you."

Of course.

Lu Yan was famously known in Jing City’s circle as a sister-spoiling fiend!

Ordinary people certainly wouldn’t be aware of this.

Lu Jing smiled again:

"Yes, my brother is really nice to all the younger brothers and sisters."

Xiao Tang was utterly envious with a capital "E" and bold.

As the eldest child in her family, there weren’t many people who treated her like that.

Fortunately, even though she had brothers and sisters, her parents weren’t too bad.

"But what does your family do, Doctor Lu? If I’m not mistaken, your cousin drove a Rolls Royce, right? That car is so expensive, I couldn’t afford it even if I sold myself."

Tsk.

Rich people really are so wealthy!

Lu Jing coughed:

"My cousin is a businessman, and my parents are just teachers. That’s all."

Quite the understatement.

What wasn’t made clear was that, although her parents were teachers, they were both expert-level professors, with Mr. Lu even undertaking national scientific research projects.

And while the head of the Lu Family was indeed the eldest son from the main branch—Lu Yan—everyone in the Lu Family owned shares in the Lu Group!

Just the dividends alone were a huge sum each year.

These things, if they could be left unsaid, they would be.

Lu Jing had never flaunted her wealth, unlike other kids from well-off families who bragged and showed off.

Perhaps, this also had something to do with her parents being teachers.

Moreover, the Lu Family had faced difficulties in the past.

Xiao Tang nodded like a pecking chicken:

"What about Captain Jiang’s family? You’ve known each other since you were kids; their family must not be poor either."

This was something Xiao Tang was relatively clear about.

After all, social strata and circles aren’t something you can just blend into if you’re not a part of them, right?

Otherwise, why would so many people wrack their brains trying to cross social barriers?

But it’s almost always futile.

A waste of effort.

People won’t really take you into their circles.

Speaking of the Jiang Family, Lu Jing didn’t spill everything but simply said:

"You can find items from their family in all your daily needs."

Huh?

Xiao Tang took several seconds to digest the meaning of that statement:

"Captain Jiang’s family is that impressive?"

Wow, they keep it really under wraps.

So wealthy, and Captain Jiang actually becomes a firefighter?

Xiao Tang was quite puzzled in her mind, but she didn’t really ask it out loud.

Some questions are better not asked too curiously.

"It’s alright, not that exaggerated. Let’s go, how about we try that barbecue place?"
