Married by Accident: The Rich CEO's Deeply Rooted Pampering Tactics

Chapter 369 Wasn't he an orphan?

Lu Tingnian thought to himself: We are quite familiar with each other, because he is one of the owners of this store.

However, he didn't tell Qiao Luo that his initial purpose for investing in the store was impure.

"We're quite familiar with each other. I'll introduce you to him another day."

Hearing him say that, Qiao Luo didn't take it to heart.

After all, given his status, what does it matter if he knows a restaurant owner?

"Does that mean I can put my meals on your tab from now on?"

Qiao Luo said jokingly.

Lu Tingnian was naturally eager to do so. He was originally thinking about how to bring this up with Qiao Luo, since this restaurant was very close to their magazine office and the food was quite good, making it an option for Qiao Luo to have lunch.

Unexpectedly, she brought it up on her own initiative.

He quickly replied, "Of course, I'll have the boss bring over a gold card in a bit, you can just use facial recognition."

Qiao Luo thought to herself: She was just saying it casually, but he took it seriously.

"Alright, I was just kidding."

Lu Tingnian disagreed, saying, "That won't do. I've already spoken to the boss."

Qiao Luo frowned: "When did you say that?"

"Just now," Lu Tingnian said, holding up his phone, implying that they had communicated online.

Qiao Luo was speechless for a while. She shouldn't have joked with Lu Tingnian like that. Although he was her husband, she still had to get used to the fact that he was rich and had status.

……

"Editor Qiao, someone is looking for you outside."

In the afternoon, Qiao was working peacefully in her office when someone knocked on the door and said someone was looking for her.

She thought it was someone she knew, so she went out, only to find out at the door that the person who came to see her was someone she had never seen before.

"May I ask you are……"

Seeing that the other person was an elderly man in his fifties, Qiao Luo asked very politely.

The man glanced at her before replying, "I am the butler of the Lu residence. Our master wants to see you; you're in the car up ahead."

Qiao Luo was taken aback.

Lu Residence?

She had never heard of him, and she knew even less about the patriarch of the Lu family.

"Are you sure you haven't got the wrong person?"

This was her first subconscious reaction.

The other person said to her, "You must be Miss Qiao Luo?"

Qiao Luo nodded.

"That's right."

As he spoke, the other person gestured for her to enter.

Although Qiao Luo felt somewhat puzzled, she still decided to go and take a look.

Soon, she followed the other person to a black Phaeton minivan, whose door had already been opened.

"please."

Qiao Luo hesitated for a moment before getting into the car.

As soon as she got on the bus, she saw a middle-aged man sitting inside. He looked to be in his fifties or sixties, with a dignified air, and it was clear at a glance that he was a successful person.

When Qiao Luo looked at him, he also looked at Qiao Luo. However, Qiao Luo could see a bit of authority in his eyes, much like an unpopular elder in the family, whose gaze was distant and indifferent.

Of course, Qiao Luo didn't dare to stare at others. She only glanced at him and was sure she didn't know him, but there was a vague sense of familiarity between his brows, as if she had seen him somewhere before.

But as for where it was, she couldn't quite remember.

"Excuse me, are you..."

Just as she was feeling puzzled, the other person spoke up: "I am Lu Tingnian's father, Lu Hanlin. You must be Qiao Luo."

Qiao Luo was taken aback.

Lu Tingnian's father?

But wasn't Lu Tingnian an orphan?

Why did another father suddenly appear?

Just as she was wondering what was going on, the other person spoke up again: "I suppose he has never mentioned me to you before."

Qiao Luo thought to herself: How did you guess that? But thinking that no one knows a son better than his father, it must be his father, right?

After all, probably no one in this world would dare to impersonate Lu Tingnian's father.

"I'm sorry, I haven't heard him mention it before, but it's the same now that I know you. It's a pleasure to meet you."

She ignored the issue of how to address her, because she could sense that the other person didn't seem to like her.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have met in this way.

Therefore, just maintain the proper politeness; there's no need to be overly eager.
