Son, “Mom” Will Back You

Gu Nian\'s dispirited voice could not be more solemn, "Our generation has a lot of work to do on our fight against the extravagance of capitalism."

Jiang Xiaoqing, "…………"

Luo Xiu looked away and smiled to himself.

Jiang Xiaoqing gave her face a rub and walked away in pain, dragging her suitcase behind her. "Goodbye."

A naughty playfulness of successfully fooling one\'s friend appeared in Gu Nian\'s eyes.

Qin Yuanyuan almost laughed out loud and she ran after Jiang Xiaoqing. "Just give up already, Xiaoqing. When have you ever been able to convince Gu Nian?"

When the two were further away, Gu Nian looked back at Luo Xiu. Meeting those brown eyes with a smile that wasn\'t a smile, Gu Nian quickly explained, "Xiaoqing was just joking. She isn\'t that kind of person. She just likes to talk the big……"

"It\'s alright." Luo Xiu\'s eyes were tender. "I trust you and, naturally, your friends as well."

Gu Nian let out a sigh of relief. Her eyes curved and she said, "Let\'s head over to the bus then."

"Alright."

"But don\'t you find that odd?"

"What?"

"When we walked out of the hotel, the security guard standing outside of the door seemed to recognize you?"

"Was that so?"

"Mmhmm. And I felt that he took a step back when he saw you. But then he looked down and that was that….. or perhaps I was just overthinking it."

"……"

A tender and melodious male voice along with a languid female voice mixed in the hot summer wind that would make one hot and sleepy reached the ear of the chauffeur.

Standing in front of the black car, the chauffeur recognized the voice and looked up immediately.

Sure enough, he saw the tall and slender silhouette.

But he wasn\'t his usual self in his perfect suit. Right now, the young man had on a simple set of shirt and pants. His hair loose and there was a slight smile on him as though he was in a somewhat pleasant mood.

Surprised, the chauffeur looked over at the person next to him.

Walking alongside their Boss Luo was a young girl looked to be in her 20s. Her eyes were clean and her face pretty. Dragging behind her was……

Their Boss Luo\'s suitcase?

The chauffeur was surprised.

When he was still dazed, the two were almost in front of him.

The chauffeur stopped with his wild thoughts and quickly bowed a little. He took a breath and waited for Luo Xiu and the girl to stop in front of him to say "Hi, Boss Luo"……

As the chauffeur looked down, the pair of long legs strolled casually in front of him with no hesitation.

"……?"

The chauffeur was stunned.

The girl\'s languid and dubious voice sneaked back toward him in the wind.

"Eh? Was that guy bowing forward?"

"I don\'t think so."

"What was he doing then?"

"I think his shoelace came undone."

"?"

"––!"

Before the girl turned back around, the chauffeur, still in a dazed state, relied entire on his instinct as he quickly squatted down and undid the shoelace on his shoe that was strictly for decoration purposes in a second or less.

A second later, the girl chuckled in the wind.

"Oh, you are right. You sure are the smarter one, Luo Xiu."

"It was just a guess."

"That\'s still smart. I can\'t believe his boss had him waited outside for so long on a hot day like this. I knew that capitalists are all unconscientious."

"……Mmm."

The voice that was so familiar that could make the chauffeur cry suppressed the little bit of doting in his tone––

"Too unconscientious."

As soon as he found out that Luo Xiu was back from the production team, Qiao Xi quickly called him up and asked him to meet up with himself and An Yi at one of the Qiao family\'s many houses.

This mansion located in the countryside of City K. It was hidden behind a green bamboo forest and it specifically went for the poetic bridge and water feel. Insect-repelling measures were taken at the outer edge and the middle of the bamboo forest was cool. It was the perfect place to go on a hot summer day.

This mansion was for the Qiao family\'s personal use only and was not open to the public.

Chauffeur: In other families, they test for the driving skill of a chauffeur. At the Luo\'s, it was all about a chauffeur\'s acting ability.
