Chapter 244: Heartwarming

At the same time, the Ying family was the first to receive the news about Lu Yu. Ying Wei seemed to have expected this outcome, and he was gloating over the fact that his evil plans were successful.

“Hoho… Damn this Lu Yu. He is more outrageous than I thought. He has just arrived at the capital and doesn’t have any roots here, yet he has managed to offend three families,” Ying Wei said in an icy voice.

“This guy Lu Yu is really too arrogant. He must be stopped and his haughty behavior must be suppressed. Great Elder, as soon as you give the order, I will immediately follow up on this matter!”

Zhou Zhongzheng stood beside Ying Wei and said with his head bowed, his face full of righteous indignation.

“No need! Just let this brat run wild for a few days. We don’t need to do anything. His arrogance will eventually lead to his demise. By offending these three powerful families, he has already bitten off more than he can chew.” Ying Wei waved his hand dismissively, with an expression that revealed his wise foresight and experienced competence.

He would not have been able to rise to the position of a Great Elder in one of the four great families if he didn’t possess a certain level of shrewdness and scheming ability.

The troubles encountered by Giovanna, Lu Shan and Lu Shui were all authorized by him in secret. And Lu Yu’s reaction was also within his expectations in general.

These three powerful families had received favors from him to deal with Lu Yu’s family. Now that Lu Yu had offended these three powerful families, Ying Wei only needed to sit back and watch in the dark how things develop.

Zhou Zhongzheng nodded and bowed as he replied with blatant flattery, “Great Elder indeed lives up to your reputation. With just a flick of your finger, you are able to manipulate Lu Yu like a toy in the palm of your hand. You have my full admiration!”

Ying Wei gave a snort and said, “Hmph! It’s better that you don’t engage in so much flattery in the future. What our Ying family needs are people who can perform well in tasks.”

Although he said these words, his expression indicated that he was very pleased to hear such flattery. Zhou Zhongzheng adjusted his performance accordingly. He immediately withdrew the look of flattery and put on a solemn expression.

The moment he walked out of the Ying family’s residence, a flash of almost imperceptible iciness flashed across Zhou Zhongzheng’s deeply profound eyes.

He said in a low voice, “Hoho… It is still not certain who is the hunter and who is the prey.”

After the defensive battle of Lunan City, Zhou Zhongzheng became Lu Yu’s pawn and was planted in the Ying family as an agent.

With the deaths of the black-clad woman and Ying Qufeng, there was no one to refute Zhou Zhongzheng’s concoction of the whole event. After Zhou Zhongzheng returned to the Ying family, he thrived and flourished, becoming a big favorite of Ying Wei.

Unfortunately, no one there realized that this favorite was Lu Yu’s agent! Together with Ying Mei’er, Lu Yu now had two agents planted in the Ying family.

Somewhere in the west of the city,

Lu Yu did not take Giovanna, Lu Shan and Lu Shui immediately to the restaurant for their meal. Instead, they went to the most prosperous commercial street in the west of the city and went shopping in the large shopping malls.

As far as shopping went, women possessed a great talent. Even if they went without food or drink for one whole day, they could still remain exuberant and very interested. Lu Yu and Lu Shan walked behind them and could only smile in resignation as they watched Giovanna and Lu Shui transform into maniacal shopaholics.

“These two ladies, please come inside. May I ask what price range of clothes you are looking for?” In the fashion boutique, a woman in a business suit put on a professional smile and etiquette.

Lu Yu gestured with his hand and said, “Just help us select the best.”

The shop assistant sized Lu Yu up and said as a reminder, “Sir, the best clothes in our boutique are designed personally by the professional famous fashion designers. The starting price is 500,000.”

Giovanna got a big shock. She took a look at the big red robe hanging on the rack with some reluctance, but in the end she still said, “It’s so expensive. I don’t think I want it then.”

Lu Yu simply slammed a bank card on the counter. “The reason I took you out today is to let you buy stuff. Just buy whatever you like.”

The shop assistant beside them saw the black card in Lu Yu’s hand. She widened her eyes and became very respectful. This was a preeminent black card. Within the federal government, it was not possible to get hold of such a card if one did not have tens of millions in assets.

A few moments later, the shop assistant packed the selected pieces of clothes and said respectfully, “Ma’am, the clothes have been packed for you. May I know if you are satisfied with the service?”

“Sat… satisfied.” Giovanna hesitated momentarily before accepting the clothes from the staff.

Judging from the shop assistant’s reaction, Giovanna got some idea of the card’s value. She discreetly asked how much money was in that bank card. Lu Yu simply handed her this bank card, stating that there were 10 million federal dollars inside.

Giovanna gasped in shock at once. This was the first time in her life that she encountered so much money.

After they finished their shopping in the mall, it was already afternoon. Lu Yu and the rest came to the luxury hotel where they made their reservation and were led to the exclusive private dining room.

It had to be said that whether before or after the apocalypse, the only thing that didn’t change was one could enjoy the best services as long as one had money.

This private room, which cost one million dollars, was top-notch in both decorative style and interior design. Even the dishes served were all delicious delicacies cooked to perfection in terms of appearance and flavor.

During the meal, Giovanna personally thanked Jiang Jun for taking care of her during this period. Jiang Jun hurriedly raised his glass and drained it. He appeared very overcautious and said, “These are all things that I should do.”

Noticing Jiang Jun’s respectful attitude, Giovanna said, “Mr. Jiang, my old companion and I have been living together for 30 to 40 years. There is no need for you to be formal. Just treat my old companion as an ordinary person.” Jiang Jun’s eyelid twitched violently. In front of a Great Grand Master who was also a Count, there was no way he could feel at ease.

During the meal, in between pouring of wine and passing of dishes, Jiang Jun took a bite of the braised meat in brown sauce and widened his eyes in surprise. He said with a stunned expression, “This meat!”

Following that, a wild joyous look swept over his face as his body quivered slightly with excitement. He began wolfing down the food somewhat unceremoniously.

Seeing Jiang Jun lose his reserved manner, Lu Yu also picked up a piece of braised meat. The aroma spread throughout his mouth and the meat melted in his mouth right away. Immediately, an immense gush of spirit and energy exploded in his body which was quickly absorbed.

Lu Yu took a few more bites of the other dishes, and the look of surprise on his face grew more pronounced. All the dishes in this restaurant were actually made from the meat of Fearsome Beasts.

As was well-known. although the meat of Fearsome Beasts contained extremely dense spirit and energy, it was very difficult to retain it during the cooking process, and after cooking, it did not taste good.

Every dish on the table contained very little Fearsome Beasts’ meat. However, it was already extremely difficult to even reach this level. This restaurant must be helmed by someone with an extraordinary background!

Zheng Xiaochuan, on the other hand, seemed completely unperturbed. In a low voice, he told Lu Yu that this restaurant, as well as the chain of restaurants in this area, were all businesses owned by the Chu family in the capital. This restaurant was one of the most thriving businesses under the Chu family.

“The Chu family is involved in this line of business?” Lu Yu looked very puzzled.

“You should not underestimate the care and thought that goes into cuisine. Food is the God of the common folks. They can make a lot of money in this line of business.” Zheng Xiaochuan said with a grin.

Lu Yu nodded with understanding at last. He then summoned the service staff of this restaurant immediately to ask what other dishes were available here.

The service staff before him was young and beautiful, with a hot body dressed in a sexy outfit.. She lowered her head and asked, “May I ask this distinguished guest, what do you need?”
