Chapter 12 I Perform Arts but Not My Body

The next day, Su Corporation.

CEO's office.

Su Muxue sat behind a large desk, her eyes unblinkingly fixed on an email.

It was from a private detective.

She had spent a hundred thousand yuan to have them investigate Lu Ning's background.

"Seems like my dad was overthinking it!"

Su Muxue shook her head and deleted the email.

Because, according to the private detective's findings, Lu Ning was indeed just a nobody who picked through trash.

As for the "life-saving grace" her father mentioned, it was probably just a blind cat running into a dead rat.

It couldn't have been Lu Ning's doing.

But tomorrow was her father's sixtieth birthday, and he insisted on having Lu Ning attend.

Forget it, best not to anger dad. After Lu Ning has attended the birthday banquet, give him some money, and the two of them can consider their accounts settled.

Having made up her mind, Su Muxue grabbed her car keys and left the office.

Half an hour later.

A luxurious Mercedes-Benz S stopped in front of a low-rent housing building.

Dressed in a black professional suit that made her appear fair-skinned, beautiful, and graceful, Su Muxue stepped out of the car.

Lu Ning was in the yard, laughing and joking around with Tang Hu.

Noticing an additional figure at the gate, he turned his head and was slightly taken aback: What's this woman doing here?

"You... come out for a sec!"

Su Muxue tilted her head slightly, then turned and got back into the Mercedes.

"Oh!"

Lu Ning waved to Tang Hu and, after leaving the yard, pulled open the passenger door and got in: "What, someone drugged you again?"

"You... a dog can't spit out ivory!"

Su Muxue's pretty face reddened, and she glared fiercely at Lu Ning.

Afterward, she started the Mercedes and drove at a steady pace.

"Hey, where are you taking me? Don't think that just because you gave me twenty thousand yuan, you can do whatever you want. I sell my talents, not my body!"

Lu Ning bantered teasingly.

"Hmph, shut up! No one thinks you're mute if you don't speak!"

Su Muxue bit her lip, her chest heaving with suppressed anger.

Seeing the surroundings become more secluded, she finally hit the brakes, her face expressionless as she said, "It's my dad's sixtieth birthday tomorrow!"

"Oh, you want to bring this ugly wife to meet your parents, is that it?"

Lu Ning asked weakly.

"You wish! It's just a meal, and then I'll give you some money. After that, stop showing up in my life!"

Su Muxue stated coldly.

"Free food and I even get paid? This is a good deal, I'll definitely come early!"

Lu Ning nodded and agreed readily.

"By the way, is there anything else you need me to do? I'm pretty busy!"

Lu Ning glanced at Su Muxue's graceful figure. This woman, attractive without clothes, even better with clothes on.

"Get lost!"

Su Muxue's hand gripping the steering wheel trembled slightly, desperately trying to contain her rage.

"Oh, see you tomorrow then!"

Lu Ning quickly got out of the Mercedes.

It wasn't until Su Muxue sped away, leaving only her taillights behind, that the playful expression on Lu Ning's face slowly faded.

According to the information fed back by Lei Fengyun, Lin Zhengdong seemed to have made contact with "Mr. Long," and had also arranged to meet with Divine Doctor Qin and several members of the Chamber of Commerce for an all-night secret meeting at the villa.

Looks like they're planning something big!

```

If I'm not mistaken, they're likely to cause trouble at Su Yunshan's birthday banquet.

I'll go check it out tomorrow myself to see just how many tricks Lin Zhengdong still has up his sleeve!

The next day.

Mingyang Villa.

Owned by Su Corporation, this luxurious villa combines leisure and entertainment.

It was just past eleven o'clock.

The spacious square at the entrance was already filled with various luxury cars.

In Wu City, the Su Family could be considered a second-rate family.

Relatives of the Su Family, friends from the business world, and even big shots from the officialdom naturally flocked to show their support.

Su Yunshan, dressed in red traditional attire, was radiant, greeting the bigwigs at the entrance.

The most unexpected arrival was Lei Fengyun from Fengyun Hall, who came with his subordinates and brought a generous gift.

Of course, this was arranged by Lu Ning.

Anticipating that Lin Zhengdong might stir up trouble today, he had Lei Fengyun bring some people to keep watch.

Just a moment later.

Lu Ning rode up on his little electric scooter.

Lei Fengyun, who had just reached the entrance, turned his head and twitched at the sight; this big shot was truly low-key.

However, Lu Ning had instructed him to keep his identity hidden.

Lei Fengyun simply gave a slight nod and then walked into the villa's gate with Black King Kong and his subordinates.

"Haha, Xiao Lu, you made it too!"

Su Yunshan descended the stairs with a smile so wide he could barely close his mouth.

"Old Master, I didn't prepare anything grand for you, so I'll just give you a jar of liquor!"

Lu Ning lifted a jar of medicinal liquor he had meticulously prepared from the front of his little scooter.

It didn't cost much money, but the effect was absolutely superb.

If Su Yunshan drank it regularly, it could strengthen his body and extend his life span, no question about it.

"Haha... much appreciated, much appreciated! Come on, take the medicinal liquor Xiao Lu brought for me inside!"

After someone took the jar from Lu Ning's hands, Su Yunshan then grabbed his arm, "Later, you sit with me, and I'll introduce you to the Su Family relatives here."

"Uh... that won't be necessary, will it?"

Lu Ning said with a wry smile.

Old Master Su was indeed good to him, but Su Muxue looked at him with cold disdain, clearly unimpressed.

If it wasn't for knowing that Lin Zhengdong might cause trouble for the Su Family today, Lu Ning might not have come at all.

"How could it not be necessary? You're single, my daughter is unmarried, a perfect match... Besides, you both..."

Su Yunshan did not entertain any refusal, pulling Lu Ning along with him.

A moment later.

Lin Zhengdong, in a suit and leather shoes, arrived at the entrance of the villa with a group of people.

Qin Wenhong, who had made an appearance at the hospital before, was also among them.

Looking up at the villa's nameplate, he let out a cold laugh, "Mingyang Villa? What an unpleasant name; it would be more fitting to call it Notoriously Renowned Villa!"

"Hahaha... Mingyang Villa, Notoriously Renowned, Young Master Lin, what a genius!"

The few people behind Lin Zhengdong all burst into laughter.

"Humph, is the gift ready?"

Lin Zhengdong turned his head and asked sinisterly.

"Everything's ready!"

The lackey behind him nodded in response.

"I hope the Su Family can handle the three generous gifts I've prepared for them!"

Lin Zhengdong took a glance at the bustling courtyard before swaggering inside.
