CHAPTER 544: CHAPTER 544: FROM CHILDHOOD TO GROWN-UP BEST FRIENDS

"No need, keep it simple and comfortable for yourself."

The people from the Jiang Family wouldn’t torture themselves over someone else’s business.

It’s just a business partner anyway, they don’t have that privilege.

Given that, Lu Jing certainly wouldn’t bother to exert that much effort.

After Jiang Ye left, Lu Jing didn’t stay idle either and went out for a walk.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t know what else to do.

He had barely stepped out of the house when someone called out to him.

"Jing’er~"

???

Lu Jing tilted his head and looked towards the direction of the voice. This look really startled him.

"Niuniu?"

A chubby girl was standing not far away, beaming at Lu Jing while energetically waving her hand.

Lu Jing quickly turned around and approached the girl, giving her a thorough once-over:

"When did you get back?" he asked.

"I’ve been back for several days already. I heard you came back yesterday, right?"

"Yeah, the last time you were back was years ago, I almost didn’t recognize you."

The chubby girl smiled sweetly, though she was plump, she wasn’t unattractive; in fact, she was quite pretty.

"It’s been ten years. You were in high school when I left."

Indeed, they used to be very close, both living together in the same neighborhood, and had been classmates from elementary school to middle school graduation, almost spending every day together.

Who knew that during high school, she would leave to study at her grandfather’s place and wouldn’t return for many years.

It’s understandable, as the saying goes: "Stepmothers lead to stepfathers."

Fortunately, Niuniu still had her loving grandparents and aunts and uncles, so she wasn’t affected too much.

The two excitedly embraced each other:

"Niuniu, I’ve missed you so much."

"Jing’er, I’ve missed you too!

And hey, as soon as I got back, I heard you got involved with the Young Master of Jiang Family, what’s that about? You used to hate him so much when we were kids, did someone force you?"

Typical of a lifelong best friend, a barrage of questions came firing out.

Lu Jing didn’t even know which one to answer first:

"Cough, no one forced me, you’ve been watching too many TV dramas."

This girl, ever since she was young, loved those idol dramas, almost to the point of obsession.

"No way? I haven’t watched them in a long time, okay? So what’s up with you?"

Lu Jing laughed:

"Things just naturally progressed that way."

"Really no pressure?"

"None!"

What era are we living in today?

Besides, the Lu Family isn’t like other families; they wouldn’t force their own daughter into a marriage alliance.

The two of them getting together was simply meant to be.

"Where is he now?"

"He’s out on business."

"Oh, okay, so what are you up to now?"

"Nothing much, just out for a walk."

Out for a walk?

"Since you’re free, how about we go grab a coffee?"

We haven’t seen each other for ten years, and there’s so much I want to talk about.

Lu Jing didn’t hesitate and immediately agreed:

"Sure, there’s a café just nearby."

"Great, you lead the way."

Soon, the two girls had reached a café outside of the residential area.

At this time, the café wasn’t very crowded and was quite tranquil.

They chose a relatively secluded corner to sit down, and the questions flowed one after another.

"Ah? You’re living in Nanxi City?"

"Mmm-hmm."

"Okay, that’s not too far; I’m just next to Nanxi City."

"Niuniu, what are you doing for work now?"

"I’m just bumming around in my grandfather’s company, anyway my brother will support me for life."

Tsk tsk.
