Chapter 1582 - Filing A Complaint

Chapter 1582: Filing A Complaint

When encountering a freeloader like him, most people would just have to suck it up even if they didn’t like it.

Unfortunately, the Ace of the Far East had miscalculated this time.

Lu Jin was a person with a strong sense of righteousness and interpersonal disorder. He did not fall for this at all.

He patted the back of the sofa where the Ace of the Far East was sitting and said unhappily, “Who said I was going to ask you to stay for dinner? If you don’t understand human language, don’t interrupt others.”

“Listen carefully. What I mean is, we’re going to eat. The door is over there. Please go back.”

He extended his hand and made a gesture of “please leave”.

The Ace of the Far East, who was good at seeing people’s faces and observing their expressions, had probably never seen such an outspoken rejection and expulsion.

He was stunned for a rare moment before he stood up embarrassingly.

His gaze lingered on Gu Nianzhi’s face for a moment before he said indifferently, “Alright, since I can’t eat, I’ll wait outside.” He stood up as he spoke.

“What are you waiting outside for?!” Lu Jin was so angry that he was about to rush into the kitchen and chase her away with a big broom. “Aren’t you leaving yet? !”

“I’ll send her back to the He family after she finishes eating.” The Ace of the Far East pointed at Gu Nianzhi with a cold expression on his face. “Otherwise, I won’t be at ease.”

Gu Nianzhi quickly said, “You don’t have to send me back. I know how to drive myself.” She even took out her car keys and proudly tossed them into the air.

The Ace of the Far East looked at her silently and took out his phone from his pocket. He showed Lu Jin the video of Gu Nianzhi racing and drifting on the crowded streets today.

“Uncle Lu, I didn’t know your daughter was so naughty. Look at her driving like that. She’s in the middle of the city, and her injuries have just healed…”

Lu Jin watched the video closely. Gu Nianzhi’s car was so high up in the sky that he was so nervous that he couldn’t even breathe. He turned around and glared at Gu Nianzhi. His outstretched hand turned in Gu Nianzhi’s direction. “Nianzhi! Where’s your car?! Give me the car keys!”

Gu Nianzhi instantly had the urge to rush out of the door, but under the watchful eyes of Lu Jin and the Ace of the Far East, she still chose to be wise. She pointed downstairs and whispered, “Parked in the parking lot below.”

She obediently handed the car keys to Lu Jin and mumbled, “This isn’t my car. This is Young Master He’s car. What are you doing?”

“What? ! I’m going to modify your car! Install a remote control system on your car. Don’t go faster than 50 miles per hour. If you exceed it, I can take control.” Lu Jin took the keys from her hand and reprimanded her sternly.

Gu Nianzhi hated the Ace of the Far East for being a tattletale. She glared at him and mouthed silently, “Snitch! Scoundrel!”

The Ace of the Far East pretended not to see it and reached out to stop Lu Jin. He smiled and said, “This is Young Master He’s car. It’s not convenient for you to modify it. It’s better for you to modify lawyer Gu’s own car.”

He continued, “After I forced lawyer Gu’s car to stop, I drove over. So I’ll wait outside the door. After she finished eating, I’ll be the driver to send her back. I’ll drive, so don’t worry.”

Lu Jin was embarrassed to chase him out again after hearing what he said. Besides, he had seen the video of Gu Nianzhi driving, so he didn’t dare to let her drive alone anymore. He quickly said, “Okay, okay, okay. Come in and sit down. Boss Lu made two big bowls of paella. One of them is spoiled. Eat it, so it won’t go to waste.”

Gu Nianzhi: “…”

The Ace of the Far East put on a surprised look. “Really? That’s great. Uncle Lu, you’re really magnanimous. Sorry for troubling you and President Lu.”

“Eat your food. You talk too much.” Lu Jin realized that he had fallen for the trap, but he had to fall for it for his daughter.

Thinking about how Gu Nianzhi drove like a roller coaster, Lu Jin couldn’t help thinking about how he should have developed a self-driving car back then..

The three of them returned to the dining room and sat down. Lu Yuan opened the translucent glass door of the kitchen and stuck his head out to look at the Ace of the Far East. “Eh? Deputy Chief Counsel aka Peter? What a surprise.”

“Yes, he’s Nianzhi’s driver now. Bring him that ruined plate of cooked paella,” Lu Jin said rudely. It was obvious that he didn’t like the Far East Ace, Deputy Chief Counsel aka Peter.

Lu Yuan laughed. “How can I do that? I’ve already thrown away that ruined plate of cooked paella. The rest are all good. I’ve made many, enough for everyone. Two or three more people can eat them too.”

The authentic paella was made from a type of Spanish specialty, Bahia short-grain rice. This type of rice core was very hard and very easy to absorb water.

The ingredients were fresh scallops, prawns, mussels, crab meat, oysters, squid, Spanish specialty chorizo, chicken, bell peppers, and small tomatoes.

It was usually cooked with olive oil and small onions to create a fragrance. It was cooked with raw rice, green beans, and lemon, and stewed in seafood broth.

The key to this dish was to use saffron to color the fried seafood rice, which was golden in color. Together with the various colors of seafood, they formed a strong and unrestrained feast.

As they spoke, the Ace of the Far East had already taken the initiative to go to the kitchen to help bring out the rice.

A wide-mouthed, shallow-bottomed pot with black and gold glaze was placed in the middle of the dining table. In front of each of them were white bone china plates with orchids painted on the sides of the plates.

Lu Jin happily picked up a public spoon and scooped a large spoonful for Gu Nianzhi to put on her plate. He said eagerly, “Try Boss Lu’s cooking!”! “This is the best Spanish seafood fried rice I’ve ever had. I ate it in a small tavern in Spain. I didn’t know how to make it, but I still remember the taste. I forced Boss Lu to try it, and it finally worked.”

Gu Nianzhi looked at the appearance of the dish, which was similar to what Major General Huo had made for her in the past, and was very happy. She picked up her spoon and scooped a big mouthful into her mouth.

Before she could savor the delicious seafood fried rice, the smell of onions spread from her taste buds all the way to her stomach. It was as if a hook was about to rip her intestines and stomach out.

Gu Nianzhi covered her mouth and quickly ran to the kitchen to throw up all the fried rice. She threw up in the trash can until she was dizzy. Even her chest was hurting. She sat down on the floor while panting.

Lu Jin was stunned. “What’s going on? ! Is this food poisonous? !”

Lu Yuan’s face darkened. “How can it be poisonous? I made it myself! Do you not trust me?”

“Of course not.” Lu Jin scratched his head and ate a few mouthfuls himself. He then went to the kitchen to see Gu Nianzhi. He helped her out and gave her a bottle of mineral water. “Drink some and rinse your mouth.”

Gu Nianzhi gulped down half a bottle of mineral water before she completely suppressed the smell of onions. She smiled wryly and said, “There are onions in the seafood rice?”

“… Yes, I peeled an onion.” Lu Yuan nodded and said with understanding, “You can’t eat onions?”

“Yes, I can’t eat them. They make me sick.” Gu Nianzhi covered her chest and said in a low voice, “The best paella I’ve ever eaten doesn’t include onions.”

Major General Huo had modified them, but they were still delicious.

“… That’s still considered delicious? Then it’s not authentic.” Lu Jin shook his head helplessly. “I should have cooked something else for you. What do you want to eat? Should I order takeout?”

Gu Nianzhi took a deep breath and said, “Then make an egg fried rice. Is it convenient?”

She looked at Lu Yuan eagerly.

She had just vomited, and now the tip of her nose was a little red. Like a little rabbit that had choked on water, her eyes were watery. Lu Yuan felt sorry for her and patted her shoulder. “Okay, uncle will make Yangzhou fried rice for you.”

Gu Nianzhi forced a smile. “Thank you, President Lu.”

The Ace of the Far East had been sitting at the side the whole time while silently watching this scene. He finished all the paella on his plate and sighed. “What a pity. I’m the only one who can eat such delicious paella.”

Gu Nianzhi: “…”

Lu Jin glared at him. “And me!”

He picked up his spoon and started to eat as well.

Gu Nianzhi watched as the two of them fought over the paella and actually felt her appetite return.

Her taste glands were salivating; she was hungry.

Soon, Lu Yuan made her another bowl of Yangzhou fried rice.

Green beans, snow-white shrimp, dark red ham, golden egg cubes, and yellow rice fried with egg liquid. The color was slightly more elegant than that of paella, and it had the reserved deliciousness of the Huaxia Empire’s cuisine.

In the mouth, it was just as delicious.

Gu Nianzhi was no longer nauseous. She ate heartily and happily ate two bowls of Yangzhou fried rice.

Lu Jin, Lu Yuan, and the Ace of the Far East also shared a large pot of paella.

After eating, the four of them lazily did not want to move.

Everyone gathered around the table to chat and digest their food.

Lu Jin asked her, “How’s the lawsuit going? Have the male and female gardeners been arrested?”

Gu Nianzhi: “…”

“They’ve been arrested. The court is holding a trial. I hope it can be brought forward.”

“That’s good. Do you need my help?” Lu Jin was very eager. “I can testify in court.”

“Don’t!” Gu Nianzhi quickly dismissed his idea. “You’ve already changed your name. Don’t expose your identity.”

Lu Yuan frowned. “If your father can’t appear, then your case… won’t be easy to fight…”

Lu Yuan was not only aware of what had happened eight years ago, but he was also a participant in it.

He knew that Lu Jin had fabricated the chain of evidence and Lu Jin had taken advantage of it to kidnap Gu Nianzhi.

But because of Lu Jin’s “deception”, it had actually confirmed the chain of false evidence.

It would be very difficult to overturn the case.

Gu Nianzhi glanced at Lu Jin. “Dad, I’d like to talk to you alone.”

“Sure, no problem. Come with me.” Lu Jin had always been very accommodating towards Gu Nianzhi. Hearing this, he quickly stood up and led her to her own room.

After Lu Jin and Gu Nianzhi left, the Ace of the Far East also stood up and said, “I’m going out for a while. When lawyer Gu is leaving, I’ll wait for her outside the door.”

“Go ahead.” Lu Yuan smiled and nodded. He was very polite to him and did not want to interact with him much.
