Chapter 37: Lu Shiqing’s Real Face

The next day, Ye Xiao printed out the relevant documents prepared last night early in the morning.

Of course, this document was not sorted out by Ye Xiao alone, and Sister Tongzi’s help was indispensable.

Sister Tongzi made it very convenient for Ye Xiao.

When Ye Xiao rushed to the place where she had agreed to meet with Su Ruoxue, Su Ruoxue was already waiting there.

When Ye Xiao arrived at the spot she and Su Ruoxue had arranged to meet, Su Ruoxue was already there, waiting.

“A cup of latte, what do you want to drink, Ye Xiao?”

“For me, I’d like a cup of cappuccino, thanks!”

“Oh my, Fishy Sister Ruoxue! I see you didn’t arrive late today. You’ve been waiting here early — could it be you were so eager to see me? Such a classic case of saying one thing and meaning another, you little hypocrite!”

Watching the waiter turn around and leave, Ye Xiao immediately began to tease Su Ruoxue.

Given that they were meeting in a coffee shop, Ye Xiao wasn’t the least bit worried that Su Ruoxue would try to do something to her in such a public place.

“Did you bring what I asked for?” Su Ruoxue asked, looking at the folder in Ye Xiao’s hand.

“This isn’t for you, Fishy Sister Ruoxue. This is for Ms. Lu! Oh? Don’t tell me, Sister Ruoxue, are you already jealous of a person you haven’t even met yet, the mysterious Ms. Lu? Sister Ruoxue, you’re just a big green-eyed monster!”

Su Ruoxue’s lips twitched, but she held back her urge to put Ye Xiao in her place once again.

“Sister Ruoxue is really stupid~ Of course, the things you want, Fishy Big Sister, are all in my head~”

Ye Xiao grinned, taunting Su Ruoxue.

“So, when will Sister Lu be here?”

Ye Xiao asked, her gaze flitting around the café, as if searching for Lu Shiqing.

“Don’t worry, Ye Xiao. Once you’ve told me what I want to know, Shiqing will come over.”

“Oh, Fishy Sister Ruoxue, how little you trust me! Do you really think I’d lie to you? Sister Ruoxue, you’re no fun.”

Ye Xiao shrugged. Su Ruoxue was definitely cautious when it came to getting the information she wanted.

But sharing what she knew — and her guesses — with Su Ruoxue wasn’t much of a loss to Ye Xiao.

On the contrary, Su Ruoxue might know something, so she would build a high defense against Gu Tingyuan.

Su Ruoxue’s initiative would make it much easier for Ye Xiao to conquer Su Ruoxue. As for Gu Tingyuan, he should stay wherever he wants. It would be best for her to quickly deprive him of all his luck as a son of luck.

Without hesitation, Ye Xiao relayed everything she knew and speculated to Su Ruoxue. Su Ruoxue’s frown deepened as she listened.

“All right, Sister Ruoxue, now you can bring Sister Lu over, can’t you?”

Su Ruoxue glanced at Ye Xiao, then nodded and sent a message on her phone. In the café, a woman in a nearby booth, wearing high heels and a smile, began walking toward them.

Today, Lu Shiqing wore a khaki-colored jacket over a pale lavender blouse with a ruffled neckline, giving her a refined, mysterious charm. She paired it with a fitted black high-waisted pencil skirt, with a side slit that hinted at elegance and allure.

Her luxurious clothes only accentuated her sensuality. She had deep burgundy curls, adding both a noble and playful air to her appearance. Beneath her long, fluttering lashes, her eyes sparkled with a soft, misty gleam, embodying both vitality and elegance. And yet, her most captivating features were her ample bust, slender waist, and skin as smooth as satin.

Lu Shiqing was the kind of woman whose allure could captivate men effortlessly — and for certain women, like herself, she wielded an almost hypnotic pull. Few could resist her charms, though she rarely had any need to request help from others.

“Ruoxue, you finally thought of me! I’ve been drinking coffee alone, and my mouth is almost numb from the bitterness. If you’d waited any longer, my veins would be full of caffeine!”

Lu Shiqing exclaimed, playfully feigning distress.

“Enough with the theatrics, we have real business today!”

“Oh, what a cute girl!”

Lu Shiqing’s eyes lit up as she noticed Ye Xiao sitting opposite Su Ruoxue, her excitement evident. She had always been weak for adorable things — even if they were people.

However, until now, she hadn’t met anyone cute enough to make her this excited and crazy.

Saying this, she almost pounced on Ye Xiao, but fortunately, Su Ruoxue grabbed her wrist in time.

“Of course! This lady’s got great taste — I’m the world’s most adorable Loli!”

Ye Xiao listened to the other party’s praise and was contented. Clearly, Lu Shiqing had an eye for quality!

“Ruoxue, this wouldn’t happen to be your daughter, would it?”

Lu Shiqing, held back by Su Ruoxue, looked over with a playful smile.

“Do I look old enough to have a daughter this age?”

“Oh, come on, Ruoxue! It’s just a joke! Don’t be so serious — give me a smile, will you?”

Lu Shiqing leaned close to Su Ruoxue, almost as if she wanted to control Ruoxue’s facial expressions with her own hands.

Ye Xiao blinked, observing the scene in front of her. This was not at all the image she had in mind.

But who else could it be if not the real Lu Shiqing? Sister Ruoxue wouldn’t find a random person to fool her. Could this woman actually be Lu Shiqing’s younger sister, Lu Shiyu? That made a lot of sense, Ye Xiao mused.

“Shiqing, behave yourself!”

“Oh, why so serious? It’s exhausting to be formal all the time. I have to be serious at work, and now that I finally get to hang out with you, I still have to be serious? I might as well not even be alive!”

Clinging to Su Ruoxue’s arm, Lu Shiqing pouted and playfully swung her arms.

So, this woman was actually the feared “Investment Queen” of the venture capital world, loved and feared in equal measure? Her playful, almost childish nature hardly matched the image of a powerful business queen.

“Shiqing… I asked you here today for a serious matter.”

“What? Is it about work again? You’re not here to play with me?”

Lu Shiqing’s face fell, her earlier excitement replaced with a look of disappointment.

“So, what is it about?”

Still holding onto Su Ruoxue’s arm, in Lu Shiqing’s heart, she seemed unconvinced that Su Ruoxue didn’t came to play with her.

“Actually, this little friend, Ye Xiao, is hoping to secure investment from your firm, Gaoshan Venture Capital.”

“So you’re really looking for investment? Are you even old enough, little one?”

Ye Xiao: ???

“Oh, big sister, before you question whether someone is an adult, shouldn’t you behave more like an adult first?  Or could it be that big sister, you’re actually a useless trash with no motivation~”
