Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 29 Liar
Under Lu Jingming's cold gaze, Wei Qingsong quickly denied, "No, no, how could that be? Director Wang, you must have misheard."

After saying that, Wei Qingsong quickly hung up the phone.

Lu Jingming: "..."

What's the point of her three denials?
Well, if I had to say what its use is, it's to verify Director Wang's conjecture.

On the other end of the phone, Director Wang stroked his chin, staring thoughtfully at his phone screen.

"What are you doing? Do you think I'm senile?"

After muttering to himself, he suddenly laughed again, his eyes excitedly searching for Lu Changbai's name in his contacts.

"Hey, Lao Lu, your little cycad has bloomed again."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Qingsong looked at Lu Jingming with an innocent expression.

“I’ve already told Director Wang. If he doesn’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do.”

With his narrow eyes slightly narrowed, Lu Jingming looked at her with a deep gaze and said with certainty, "You did it on purpose."

"How could you think of me like that?" Wei Qingsong smiled, her expression sincere. "It's because you're so good-looking. Just now, I was so focused on staring at your profile that my mind was completely occupied, and I didn't have time to think about anything else."

Lu Jingming gave her a cold glance, said nothing, turned around indifferently, picked up his things and walked out of the supermarket.

Wei Qingsong raised her eyebrows slightly, smiled with satisfaction, and followed behind him with light steps.

The two of them arrived at the entrance of the KTV without saying a word.

Whether it's a birthday or a holiday, the most popular ways for young people to celebrate these days are nothing more than a few things.

This KTV has a very luxurious decor, and the minimum spending starts at four figures. It's an entertainment venue that only people with some spare cash would choose.

Wei Qingsong was slightly surprised: "You didn't choose this place, did you? That's quite a big deal."

"No." Lu Jingming said succinctly, seemingly not intending to elaborate further.

“That’s true, such extravagance isn’t your style,” Wei Qingsong said casually, without pressing further.

As you walk through the luxurious and elegant corridor, you can hear music playing continuously, creating a lively scene.

The waiter led the two to a VIP room.

Wei Qingsong took a deep breath to calm her nerves and followed Lu Jingming as she pushed open the door to the private room.

"Brother, why are you so late? I've been waiting for you for ages..." In the center of the dance floor, a girl swaying her hips to the music looked over with a beaming smile, but her words stopped abruptly when her gaze fell on Wei Qingsong behind him.

"Smack, hiss..."

The microphone was slammed heavily on the table, making a piercing sound that caused the men and women sitting in the private room to cover their ears in unison.

Lu Jinghuan nimbly walked to the control panel and turned off the music with a "snap," instantly silencing the previously lively scene.

A few people were scattered on the sofa, looking at each other with curiosity, wondering what had happened.

A man in a gray suit with a sunny disposition put down his wine glass with a slight look of surprise, stood up and walked over.

He came to Lu Jinghuan's side, gently pulled her into his arms, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Weren't you just talking about Brother Ming? Now that Brother Ming is here, why are you throwing such a tantrum?"

Lu Jinghuan twisted her body, breaking free from his embrace, and glared angrily at Wei Qingsong: "What are you doing here? You're not welcome here!"

Then, she looked at Lu Jingming, whose brows were slightly furrowed: "Brother, what are you thinking about? How come you're hanging out with this liar again?"

Her words were extremely sharp, causing Lu Jingming and Wei Qingsong to frown almost simultaneously. Wei Qingsong stepped forward, her brows furrowed, and said softly, "Jinghuan, I..."

Lu Jinghuan seemed unwilling to give her a chance to explain, raising his voice and saying angrily, "I don't want to hear you! This is my birthday party, please get out!"

The man in the suit sighed helplessly, gently grasped her shoulder, and advised her softly, "Huanhuan, calm down. This lady seems to be a guest brought by Brother Ming. Don't be like this."

Lu Jinghuan's pupils dilated suddenly, her anger instantly flaring up on him: "Duan Wenlan! Whose side are you on? Whose boyfriend are you anyway?"

Duan Wenlan gave a wry smile and raised her hands above her head: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, but calm down first and cheer up, okay?"

"No good! I can't be happy as long as this liar is here!" Lu Jinghuan angrily pointed at Wei Qingsong.

Wei Qingsong pursed her lips, lowered her head, and remained silent.

Duan Wenlan frowned slightly in distress and looked at Lu Jingming for help.

"Jing Huan, stop fooling around." Lu Jingming spoke in a deep voice, with an unquestionable air of authority.

Lu Jinghuan stared at him in disbelief, remained silent for a long time, then sneered and glared fiercely at Wei Qingsong.

"You're really something, aren't you? Why aren't you saying anything? Why are you pretending to be weak? Aren't liars like you the best at playing dumb to fool others? Wei Qingsong, let me tell you, stay away from my brother. As long as I'm around, you won't be able to fool my brother again!"

"Lu Jinghuan." The cold, deep voice carried a hint of warning. Lu Jingming's face darkened slightly, his eyes deep: "Watch your words."

Lu Jinghuan was slightly taken aback, her eyes instantly welling up with tears. She bit her lip and said, "Fine, you two are so deeply in love, I'm the outsider!"

After saying that, she stormed out of the door.

"Huanhuan," Duan Wenlan called out worriedly from behind her.

He took two steps to chase after her, then stopped and turned to Lu Jingming with a serious expression, saying, "Brother Ming, although I don't know what happened, today is Huanhuan's birthday, and you shouldn't have spoken to her like that."

After he finished speaking, he chased after Lu Jinghuan and ran out.

Lu Jingming stood still, his eyes shifting with complex emotions before finally settling into a soft sigh.

Wei Qingsong gently tugged at his sleeve: "You should hurry and chase after them."

"With Duan Wenlan here, nothing will happen." Lu Jingming said calmly, putting the things in his hand on the table before pulling Wei Qingsong away from the private room.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have acted so recklessly and put you in a difficult position." Wei Qingsong sighed deeply.

She should have expected Lu Jinghuan to react this way; she was just too impatient and too eager to reintegrate into Lu Jingming's world.

"She said such hurtful things, why are you apologizing?"

Lu Jingming's face remained expressionless, and his tone was very calm.

Lu Jinghuan's repeated use of the word "liar" may have hurt someone's heart in the end.

“If my appearance hadn’t provoked Jing Huan, she wouldn’t have acted this way, so I should feel sorry.” Wei Qingsong’s voice was low and sounded like a sigh.

Lu Jingming paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "There are some things you have to face sooner or later, and she has to learn to accept them too."

"Huh?" For a moment, Wei Qingsong did not understand the deeper meaning in his words.

But Lu Jingming didn't intend to explain. He walked ahead on his own, slowing his pace slightly to maintain a speed that Wei Qingsong could barely keep up with.
