Jiang Lu stood up, opened the door a crack under the puzzled gaze of Mrs. White who was panting, and brought in a bottle of red wine.
"When did you order the drinks?"
"You treated me to a meal and a drink, didn't you? Of course I want to repay you." Jiang Lu turned the wine opener into the cork, then pulled it out with force and shook the bottle in front of Mrs. White: "I have already repaid you for the French meal you treated me to with cream baguettes. Now all I need is wine."
"But where are the glasses?"
"Wine glass?" Jiang Lu couldn't help laughing: "Of course I don't need a wine glass."
"How do you drink it?"
"Cheers to Bilibili!"
Chapter 73 Bao's Teammates
Mrs White admitted that she had been mistaken.
This young man simply didn't seem like a human being. He never seemed to get tired, never had any empty periods, and always had many wonderful ideas, which reminded her, a widow who had been single for many years, of the madness of her youth.
Her love for Jiang Lu was beyond words. Even after so many years, her best friend could still recite almost exactly what she would say when she showed off:
You know, Park was my lover, we fought side by side in many battles, I knew him for a long time, this guy is incredible, I think we can have a good chemistry, sometimes it's hard to make a decision, after many days and nights of thinking, he decided to take the talent away for a while, I can't wait to wear the props he promised me the next time we meet, as for my late husband, I wish him all the best in heaven...
The sky gradually brightened, and through the water stains on the floor-to-ceiling windows, the mottled morning light shone on Mrs. White.
She opened her eyes a little confused.
Still alive...
Such a strange thought appeared in her mind, which scared her a little.
But when she thought back to the little kid she just met yesterday, she felt that it was natural to have such thoughts.
"Is this your limit?"
At first, she said this.
Halfway through, Jiang Lu threw the same words back at her.
Then she had to move her son out.
"No, I can't go on. I've already...If I tell my son, he will kill you, White. My last name is White, and my son is the leader of the Shark Gang!"
And the answer she got was.
"Mr. White, who is known to everyone? Great, I think he and I are on the same side now! We have an old saying, 'When a flood washes away the Dragon King Temple, family members no longer recognize each other'. Haha, it applies to the current situation."
So Mrs. White had no way out.
Now...
"morning."
Kang Yool, sitting on the couch in his bathrobe with a cigarette between his lips, greets Mrs. White and brings her the room service breakfast.
"I don't want to dine in such an environment." Mrs. White sighed and looked around. It was a mess.
"You said you found the feeling of youth."
Jiang Lu sat down beside the bed and patted her shoulder: "The aftertaste of the morning is also part of it, eat quickly."
"I'm sure I didn't say anything like that," Mrs. White blushed.
"I heard it." Jiang Lu was very sure: "But you said a lot of strange things at that time, and it is possible that you didn't realize it."
"Okay!" Mrs. White's face had turned red.
"I'm 37 years old! Stop saying things that embarrass me."
"37 years old?" Jiang Lu was indeed a little surprised: "Then how old is Mr. White?"
"19 is old."
Jiang Lu thought for a moment and said, "I'm a few years older than him, so it shouldn't be too awkward for him to call me dad."
"What?" Mrs. White almost knocked over the plate in her hand. "What did you ask him to call you?"
"Father." Jiang Lu asked curiously, "What else should I call him? Given our relationship, it would be hard to end it if I call him anything else."
"No, it's impossible. You and I are just..."
"You don't mean to say it's just for fun, do you?" Jiang Lu breathed a sigh of relief: "But that's fine, this way I don't have any psychological burden."
"Is that what you think?"
For some reason, Mrs. White felt a sense of loss.
"Of course not, but I was just following your words."
Jiang Lu took a piece of bread she had bitten and put it in his mouth, then stood up and prepared to change his clothes: "Then I'll leave."
"Wait...wait a moment." Mrs. White still called Jiang Lu and grabbed the corner of his clothes.
Jiang Lu had an expression that said, "Ha, I knew you couldn't leave me anymore."
Mrs. White then realized that she had been fooled and angrily pushed Jiang Lu away: "Bad boy."
Jiang Lu didn't care. He laid down on the bed with his hands on the back of his head. "So what should we do now? I'm not worried about your son. What matters is what you think."
Mrs. White was stunned for a moment when she heard Jiang Lu's words, and then her eyes suddenly became moist.
She was suddenly moved.
Ever since White became the leader of the Shark Gang, her identity in public has changed from Mrs. White to Mr. White's mother. It seems that no one has asked her how she feels for a long time.
It seemed that all the decisions were made by her son and had nothing to do with her. Over time, she had become accustomed to this kind of treatment, so when Jiang Lu suddenly asked this, she was actually flattered.
Seeing Mrs. White suddenly start to cry, Jiang Lu didn't ask anything, but hugged her in his arms and whispered gently:
“We don’t know what’s going on, but we will get through this.”
This sentence was like a bombshell, instantly blowing away Mrs. White's last psychological defense line.
So she no longer hesitated.
"Let's take a shower after dinner, and then I'll take you home. It may take some time for him to accept you, but I will find the right opportunity. Believe me, he has always respected me."
"Go home..." Jiang Lu showed a trace of worry: "Is it too soon? Yesterday you threatened me that he would kill me."
"Bad boy." Mrs. White knew that he was teasing her again. She bit her lip and pinched the flesh on Jiang Lu's arm.
"Let's go, don't eat yet, let's take a shower first."
Jiang Lu picked up Mrs. White and walked into the bathroom.
......
By the time they finished their shower, it was already afternoon.
After checking out of the hotel, Jiang Lu got into the car that was going to pick up Mrs. White.
It was as if the driver was selectively deaf. He could hear the horn but not the movement in the back seat, and he would not even look back.
As the car turned left and right, Jiang Lu arrived at a manor.
There is a striking shark logo hanging on the gate of the manor. It goes without saying that this is probably the headquarters of the Shark Party.
Jiang Lu held his chin and observed everything in the manor with drooping eyelids.
To be honest, he had been planning to moisten it before daybreak.
But Mrs. White's words made him change his mind.
He never expected that he would meet the target person's mother while just having fun.
The enemy is nowhere to be found, so they just captured and marked their lair. Who can I complain to?
After much thought, Jiang Lu felt that he could not miss this opportunity. He was no longer the lazy guy who suddenly remembered the responsibility on his shoulders and continued to slack off in fear. Now that he had lost everything, he had learned how to do serious work while slacking off.
Isn’t this a kind of growth?
Perhaps seeing Jiang Lu looking a little melancholy, Mrs. White, who was holding his arm, asked with concern, "What's wrong, dear?"
"I don't know why, but I suddenly feel a little nervous." Jiang Lu said casually.
"Don't be nervous, this will be your home from now on."
Jiang Lu rolled down the car window, feeling the warm afternoon breeze, and suddenly felt a little emotional.
He has already begun to forget the names of his teammates this time.
But just when he felt a trace of self-blame, about the size of one billionth of a nanometer, a figure evoked his memory.
"I Zhuo, hold?"
"Hold what?" asked Mrs. White.
"No...Nothing, I probably saw it wrong."
As the car drove through the garden, a face standing guard in the scorching sun, looking somewhat listless, gradually became clear.
"I'm going to hold on!" Jiang Lu scored twice.
Perhaps because cars were one of the few moving things in the manor, this black stretch limousine also attracted the attention of the swordsman.
He looked over.
Then he saw Kang Yool in the back seat and Mrs. White leaning on him.
Like Jiang Lu, he also thought he had seen it wrong at first.
"Ginger... no way?"
Just as the man with the sword squinted his eyes and tried to identify it carefully, Jiang Lu had already rolled up the car window without changing his expression.
Mrs. White also noticed this and asked in confusion, "Is this security guard your friend?"
Jiang Lu shook his head.
"Irrelevant."
Chapter 74 Exchange of Information
Mrs. White's house is quite large.
