Chapter 1020 Racing Partners
Shen Lu didn't drive herself; she was indeed tired.
This time, Shen Jiu was driving.
Among the bodyguards, besides Shen Lu, Shen Jiu was the best driver.
The journey was relatively uneventful, though some people did try to cut off Shen Lu's car along the way.
Shen Lu couldn't even rest peacefully with her eyes closed.
Whether these people did it intentionally or unintentionally, Shen Lu dared not ride in the same car as Zhang Ziming and the others.
It is best to travel at a distance.
It would be even better if we could capture them all at once.
"Hello?" A number dialed in.
As soon as she answered the phone, the person on the other end shouted, "Sixth Sister, why didn't you tell us you were back in Yucheng?"
“If Xiao Shun hadn’t said he saw you at the hospital entrance, we wouldn’t have known.”
The person making the call was Wu Lai.
The one who drove to pick up Shen Lu before, the one Shen Mingguang looked down on.
"I have some things to do when I get back. I'm going to southern Yunnan in a couple of days, so I won't have time to play this time."
Wu Lai chuckled: "What a coincidence, Brother Qiu has assembled a caravan and is also heading to southern Yunnan. Let's go together!"
Before Shen Lu could even agree, Wu Lai was already calling out "Brother Qiu" on the other end of the phone.
Qiu Tian answered the phone: "Liu Liu, are you going to Yunnan too?"
Shen Lu knew that while she could fool Wu Lai, she couldn't fool Qiu Tian.
She could only explain, "I've gotten into a little trouble recently, so I can't have much contact with my friends."
"This time I'm going with friends, but I won't get too close to them, I don't want to involve others."
Shen Lu spoke frankly to this group of friends, not wanting them to misunderstand.
They looked down on her just because they thought she was going to university in Beijing.
Qiu Tian: "Can we be afraid of trouble?"
"Tell us what trouble you've gotten yourself into. We'll try to smooth things over if we can, and if not, there's strength in numbers."
"Maybe we can be of help?"
Shen Lu didn't want to trouble her friends.
"Your team is just going to have fun, don't get involved in my business, it might cost me my life."
Shen Lu said she almost died in a car accident in Beijing: "I accidentally offended a big shot who was after me."
"Your involvement could be dangerous."
Shen Lu had already put her words to this point, hoping that Qiu Tian and the others would back down.
"Xiao Qiu, I know you guys usually play wildly, but this time it's not just playing around." Someone really wanted to kill her.
Qiu Tian raised his voice a little: "What's different?"
"Or is it that Sixth Master no longer wants to have anything to do with his brothers?"
Shen Lu could tell that Qiu Tian was angry.
"I'm a bit sleepy right now. I'll get together with everyone tonight. If there's anything, we can talk about it when we meet up."
We can't not get together; she and Qiu Tian have a very good relationship.
She saved Qiu Tian's life and also helped Wu Lai's grandmother get medical treatment.
And then there's Xiao Shun. His family is very wealthy. He's an only child and almost went astray, but Shen Lu brought him back.
These people all had very close relationships with Shen Lu.
Even though Shen Lu went to study in the capital and didn't contact them much after returning, they still prepared a lot of things for her during holidays.
Shen Lu also prepared return gifts.
She went home and had a good night's sleep.
That evening, Shen Lu said she was going to meet some friends, all of whom were men, so she wouldn't be bringing the two girls with her.
Zhang Zimo and Xue Tian were still unconvinced.
"They won't let us see them if it's all boys?"
Zhang Ziming laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid we'll let something slip and tell President Lu?"
Shen Lu rolled her eyes at Zhang Zimo: "We'll talk about it when you can see him."
"That's not the case. Those friends are racing enthusiasts, and they're usually quite wild. You might not be used to getting along with them if you go."
"They probably felt too shy to speak when they saw two delicate-looking girls."
"If it makes both parties uncomfortable, it's better not to go."
After Shen Lu's explanation, Zhang Zimo and Xue Tian stopped insisting.
“Then let’s go out and have some fun tonight. Besides Youranju, where else in Yucheng can we find good food? Let’s go check it out.”
Shen Lu thought for a moment and said, "I'll find Shen Xuejiao for you and have her show you around."
"She's the most fun-loving one among us."
"Take Feng Tian with you too, she can protect you."
Zhang Zimo: "I have bodyguards."
Shen Lu didn't take it to heart: "Your bodyguards are men, it's definitely more convenient to have girls with you."
"Moreover, they are local bullies."
"Besides, you two can work things out beforehand. If you don't get along well, there's still room to back out."
"Just find an excuse not to go to southern Yunnan together."
Shen Lu's suggestion is indeed very good.
Zhang Zimo and Xue Tian accepted.
"We also need to ask if they are free, so as not to delay their business because of us."
Xue Tian was more thoughtful.
"rest assured."
Shen Lu made an "OK" gesture.
She called Shen Xuejiao and Feng Tian separately and learned that they were both free. She also wanted to arrange to buy some things needed for a road trip together.
Isn't that perfect?
When she said she had something to do and needed to entrust her two friends to them, they agreed without hesitation.
It's good for everyone to get to know each other beforehand.
Shen Xuejiao even assured them, "Don't worry about them, I'll take them out for a good meal."
Shen Lu truly trusted them.
That evening, she met with Qiu Tian and a few others alone.
They all gathered at Qiu Tian's auto repair shop.
The repair shop has expanded compared to the previous two years.
The younger men were doing odd jobs, while Qiu Tian was in charge of cooking.
"Sixth Sister!" The underlings all stopped what they were doing.
Shen Lu greeted everyone.
She saw that there were already several plates of crayfish on the table, some with garlic and some with spicy flavor.
"The snails are here!" Wu Lai brought out two plates of snails.
Upon seeing Shen Lu, I quickly greeted her.
"Sixth Sister, you've arrived."
"Yes, you've worked hard." Shen Lu patted Wu Lai on the shoulder.
This kid isn't blond this year, he's got green hair.
"That hairstyle, did your girlfriend dump you or something?"
Wu Lai smiled sheepishly: "Sis, how did you know?"
Xiao Shun next to him burst into laughter: "He was cheated on, so he changed his hairstyle on purpose."
"His ex-girlfriend now gives him a cold shoulder every time she sees him."
Shouldn't I be stern-faced?
She did cheat on him, but in her opinion, Wu Lai was too petty.
They actually changed their hair color to humiliate her!
How is she supposed to face people after this?
"He would deliberately visit his ex-girlfriend frequently, and each time she would be ridiculed by her colleagues."
Cheating might not be a big problem, but I'm reminding everyone that if this woman cheats, other colleagues, regardless of gender, might have a problem with her.
"That's really mean," Shen Lu sighed, but didn't comment on whether it was right or wrong.
It's wrong for a girl to cheat on her boyfriend.
It's not illegal for Wu to dye his hair.
Wu Lai was also furious: "Wasn't I good enough to her? She dumped me for some rich second-generation heir, and I'm a beneficiary of land expropriation!"
