Chapter 27 Temptation

After lunch, Valen Gu and Scales Lu got in the car and went out together. They didn't talk in the car. Scales Lu was talking to someone on the phone in a low voice.

Valen Gu was bored and simply lowered her head to play with her mobile phone.

After a while, Scales Lu's suddenly said, "How are your grades?"

"Huh?"

Valen Gu raised her head.

She looked at him blankly and said uncertainly, "Uh, are you asking me about my grades?"

Scales Lu nodded.

Valen Gu thought for a moment and then replied, "it's okay."

"How is your rank in the class?" Scales Lu continued to ask.

Valen Gu was a little tangled.

"Why do you ask me this question?"

To be honest, she was not good at studying and could only be regarded as a medium-level student in the class.

Therefore, she was not willing to talk about this topic.

Scales Lu said, "Tomorrow if the gramp asks you this question, you will say that you have a good grade."

"Why?"

Valen Gu was puzzled.

Scales Lu squinted at her and said in a very light tone, "The old man cares about this very much."

Valen Gu was stunned at first and then nodded. "Oh, I know." After a pause, she felt that this opportunity was very good now, so she could not help asking, "Well, if the old man doesn't like me, can I go home?"

Scales Lu's face turned cold.

This little girl was still thinking about going home.

"What do you think?"

He did not answer.

Valen Gu pinched the phone in her hand and said with some hesitation, "I haven't seen your grandpa before. How can I know how he thinks? Also, you seem to have never told me that why he wants you to marry my... sister?"

In fact, she didn't know that at first.

However, when she was in the Huainan club last time, she heard Terrance Lu and Theo Lu mention this question so she took care of it.

Scales Lu's voice was very slow. "They are matters of the older generation. My grandpa owes your family a favor. He didn't know how to repay it, so he let me marry you."

"No, no!"

Valen Gu quickly stopped him.

She said, "the one you marry is not me but my sister!"

Scales Lu sneered, "It doesn't matter, as long as you are from Gus family."

Valen Gu lowered her head again.

She was silent for a while and then said slowly, "Scales Lu, you must be very angry at that time, right?"

Scales Lu frowned.

Valen Gu continued, "Your grandfather asked you to marry a person you don't like. You must be very angry at that time, right?"

Scales Lu finally understood what she was referring to.

He curled his lips and did not give any explanation.

"What about you?"

He asked.

"Me?"

Valen Gu pointed at herself.

She raised her head, looked at him with her big black eyes, and said with a silly expression, "I'm not angry. Although in the beginning, I didn't understand why I pretended to be my sister to marry you, later I understood. You married me because you needed to listen to the elders, and I married you because I needed to listen to the elders. So we were even!"

Scales Lu: "..."

What?

"Oh, by the way, I have another question!"

Valen Gu suddenly said.

Scales Lu was in a good mood at the moment.

He turned his head to look at the girl and said patiently, "Speak."

Valen Gu smiled at him brightly and dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth.

Scales Lu was slightly stunned.

Valen Gu said, "Since I will live with you in the future, should you be responsible for giving me pocket money?"

Scales Lu looked at her. "What?"

He seemed to have not reacted.

Valen Gu sat up straight, looked at him seriously, and said again, "I mean, you can earn money by yourself. But I am still a student. I don't have the ability to make money for the time being, so shouldn't you give me pocket money? Well, the money I brought from my home has been used up. If there is a way, I won't find you..."

The more she said, the lower her voice became.

Scales Lu understood.

He nodded and said, "are you lack of money?"
