Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Is Lu Youxi Messing Around Outside...

"Village chief, here, let me carry one for you," Lu Zhenguo said.

The village chief didn’t stand on ceremony with Lu Zhenguo and handed him one of the lighter, smaller pieces of luggage. "Thank you, thank you."

Liu Yushu briefly explained a few things to the student and then crossed the street with Grandma Xu.

"Grandma Xu!" The village chief called out joyfully, then turned to Liu Yushu and said, "Now I should call you Boss Liu too!"

Liu Yushu laughed so hard that the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened. "Don’t joke with me."

"Grandma Xu, I must say, you look so much better than back in Hexing Village!" The village chief looked her up and down. Grandma Xu’s vitality now, compared to her time in Hexing Village, made her seem like a completely different person—it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say she looked ten years younger.

Grandma Xu’s posture was noticeably straighter than it had been in the village, and her face looked younger too.

"Does the big city really nurture people like this?" The village chief was astonished.

Grandma Xu laughed heartily at his reaction. "The water and food in the big city definitely aren’t as unpolluted as in our village. But here, I have suitable things to do and nothing unhappy to deal with. Youxi and his family treat me like their own kin. When life gets better, naturally your spirits improve."

"Instead of standing here, let’s go inside, Mom, Grandma Xu, I’ll take the village chief to our place first," Lu Youxi said.

"We might as well go together," Liu Yushu said. "There’re no customers now, and I’m free."

So, they all went to the apartment Lu Youxi had rented for the village chief.

It wasn’t in the same building as the Lu Family’s but was only a two-to-three-minute walk away.

It was spacious and bright inside; Lu Youxi had specifically had someone clean, and all the living supplies were newly replaced.

The village chief could tell immediately that Lu Youxi had put a lot of thought into it; everything was meticulously prepared.

"Hey Youxi, you..." The village chief sighed, "you are too considerate. I won’t say more, but I’ll definitely do my best for you!"

The village chief couldn’t stay idle; after unpacking his luggage and getting settled, he said he wanted to help out with the rice at the restaurant.

Hexing Rice had been selling at the restaurant for a while now and was very popular, with many returning customers.

Once customers bought some and cooked it at home, they found it tasted exactly like it did in the restaurant.

The restaurant was definitely not cheating anyone.

People even bought more to give away.

It’s rare to find such tasty rice in the market.

Comparable quality rice cost significantly more than Hexing Rice.

"Village chief, you’ve just arrived, don’t stress yourself," Liu Yushu said. "If you’re really not tired, let Youxi take you shopping for some clothes."

Liu Yushu knew how things worked.

Everyone who came to the Imperial Capital ended up buying new clothes.

Those brought from Hexing Village just weren’t suitable.

So, in the end, Lu Youxi ended up taking the village chief out to buy clothes.

The village chief, no matter what, wouldn’t let Lu Youxi pay for the clothes.

Previously, Lu Youxi had taken the money in his absence, and he couldn’t do anything about it.

But now that he was present, she could not be allowed to spend the money.

Lu Youxi helped the village chief try on several outfits.

From suits to casual wear, they tried a variety.

When the village chief changed into a nice suit, he really looked the part.

Lu Youxi didn’t realize that as she was helping the village chief choose and try on clothes, Lin Jingshen’s two roommates happened to be there shopping for some seasonal new clothes.

One roommate, Yan Lingbo, suddenly tugged at Lin Xiaoli, "Look, isn’t that Lu Youxi?"

Lin Xiaoli paused curiously and looked over, "Eh, it does seem to be her."

"Why is she with an older man?" Yan Lingbo said in surprise. "Who is that man?"

Lin Xiaoli suddenly pulled Yan Lingbo to a hidden spot and whispered, "Do you think... Lu Youxi might be fooling around outside?"

"What?" Yan Lingbo was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, is she being kept, or is she making money through some inappropriate, quite ’other’ means?" Lin Xiaoli thought for a moment, then added, "It might not be just one person keeping her, maybe she has dealings with many."

"Don’t talk nonsense, she’s really making good money now," Yan Lingbo quickly said.

"Yes, she has money now, but where did the money for her business come from originally? Just from her stock trading earnings?" Lin Xiaoli scoffed, "That little startup capital, enough for her to open internet cafes, restaurants, companies, and also rent a place in the Imperial Capital to move her family here?"

"Properties in the Imperial Capital are so expensive," Lin Xiaoli added.

After a moment’s thought, Yan Lingbo took out his cell phone.

His cell phone was a newly upgraded model, with a camera feature and better resolution than the previous generation of smartphones on the market.

"Let me test the camera function of my new phone," Yan Lingbo said, adjusting the angle discreetly and took a photo of Lu Youxi and the village chief.

"What’s the use of taking that photo?" Lin Xiaoli asked. "Can you show it to her?"

"Doesn’t she have a cousin at our school?" Yan Lingbo reminded.

"Pfft." Lin Xiaoli smirked. "I actually forgot about that."

"No wonder you forgot; Lu Youbang keeps such a low profile now," Yan Lingbo said. "He’s really keeping his head down. We’ll just ask him when we get back if he recognizes them."

"If he recognizes him, then it might be a relative or someone from their family; if he doesn’t, then the relationship between Lu Youxi and this older man could be questionable."

"Look at you, Yan Lingbo! You’ve become so clever!" Lin Xiaoli exclaimed with surprise.

"Hehe," Yan Lingbo laughed twice. "Come on, let’s buy our clothes and go back to school to ask Lu Youbang."

"Let’s change our shopping spot," Lin Xiaoli said cautiously. "What if we bump into her, and Lu Youxi sees us? If something undesirable spreads in school, Lu Youxi might easily suspect us."

"Right, right," Yan Lingbo quickly pulled Lin Xiaoli away.

While still eager for gossip, they quickly finished their shopping and rushed back to school.

They didn’t even have time to return to their dorm before they went straight to find Lu Youbang.

Lu Youbang was actually in his dorm when they found him.

Seeing them coming, Lu Youbang was quite surprised. "What’s up?"

Was it something about Lu Youxi again?

He hadn’t heard Lu Youxi spreading any nonsense about him at school recently.

Moreover, if there was anything from home, Lu Youxi would have already talked about it at school; what else could there be to discuss?

Lu Youbang’s expression darkened, "Has Lu Youxi been talking nonsense again?"

"No," Yan Lingbo took out his cell phone and said to Lu Youbang, "I saw her with someone today, and I wanted to ask if you recognize him."
