Chapter 184: Oh Mother
Chapter 184: Oh Mother
During the grand award ceremony, Lu Wu received the championship trophy from Jiang Yuesheng.
With this, the High School League concluded on a perfect note.
Next, Lu Wu only needed to wait for the rewards after the competition.
And they were not small.
The advertising revenue, the benefits from Jiangnan, and the perks for being in the top three of the League—all were significant.
Lu Wu couldn't help but feel excited at the thought of it.
However, what he didn't expect was that the first thing he received wasn't any of these, but a notification for a private meeting.
Jiang Yuesheng wanted to have a chat with him in private!
Upon hearing this, Lu Wu's mind went blank, and his little heart couldn't help but pound with excitement.
But it wasn't excitement he felt; it was nervousness.
His previous interactions with Jiang Yuesheng had always left Lu Wu with a sense of unease.
The way the Governor looked at him was strange, and Lu Wu felt a bit scared; he wasn't exactly keen on this meeting.
After all, he was still a young man with a healthy appetite.
And his son, Pang Doudou, was still in his prime.
But given her status as the Governor of Jiangnan, it was not up to him to decide whether or not to have this chat.
He had already been escorted by Jiang Yuesheng right after the ceremony, with no time to spare.
Zhao Kaiming watched Lu Wu being led away, a desolate look in his eyes.
"Lu Wu, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I'm in a difficult situation myself!"
If things were indeed as he suspected.
Zhao Kaiming felt that both he and Lu Wu were likely in deep trouble.
Moreover, he was certain that he would be in a worse situation than Lu Wu, as he wasn't the son of that person.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Jiang Yuesheng didn't take Lu Wu very far.
She led him directly to the room where she had previously observed the battles.
Upon returning to the room, Jiang Yuesheng sat upright on the sofa and waved at Lu Wu, who was standing a couple of meters away.
"Come here, closer to me!"
Lu Wu approached cautiously, inching closer with great care, and stood straight in front of Jiang Yuesheng.
Jiang Yuesheng raised an eyebrow, "Come closer!"
Lu Wu took a few more cautious steps, but Jiang Yuesheng grew impatient and gestured with her hand, pulling him forward with an invisible force.
Lu Wu found himself right in front of her, and Jiang Yuesheng's gaze made him nervous.
"Governor Jiang..."
"Silence!"
Lu Wu fell silent.
Jiang Yuesheng examined Lu Wu's face with great attention, staring at him for five minutes and occasionally touching his face.
At first, Lu Wu thought she was admiring his beauty, but he soon realized that the more she looked, the more her expression changed, and the way she looked at him made him feel like she was seeing a scoundrel.
It was as if she might pull out a cleaver at any moment.
Lu Wu panicked; he hadn't done anything, but if he were to be cleaved, how unjust it would be! So, at this moment, Lu Wu couldn't keep quiet.
"Governor Jiang..."
"Don't call me Governor Jiang!" Jiang Yuesheng interrupted again, "Call me Mom!"
"What?"
Lu Wu was stunned. Was this how rich ladies played these days?
Jiang Yuesheng's expression remained calm as she added, "Your performance in the League was impressive. I'm very satisfied and plan to adopt you as my son."
Lu Wu frowned, showing his displeasure.
"Shouldn't this kind of decision be made after consulting me?"
Jiang Yuesheng glanced at him, her eyes cold, and a cleaver seemed to appear and disappear in her gaze. Lu Wu's heart skipped a beat.
"Well, um, I mean, I have no objections!"
Jiang Yuesheng was very pleased with this response.
"Good, then from today onwards, you are my son, Jiang Yuesheng!"
Fine, she had the power, the cleaver, and the final say.
Since Lu Wu couldn't resist, he had no choice but to accept his fate.
"So, can I start calling you 'Mom' now?" Lu Wu asked, testing the waters.
"Mom!" he called out, his voice filled with emotion.
Surprisingly, Lu Wu adapted to this situation quite quickly.
He was a bit hesitant at first, but now he felt no guilt. His mind was focused on one thing: gaining some advantage from this situation. So, he called out shamelessly, his voice filled with sincerity.
Unexpectedly, the queen-like woman across from him blushed at his call, and a surge of girlish charm emerged. The stark contrast between her regal demeanor and sudden shyness left Lu Wu stunned.
He stood there, dazed and confused.
When Lu Wu finally came back to reality, Jiang Yuxing had regained her queenly composure. Aside from a slightly rosy complexion, there was no trace of her previous embarrassment, leaving Lu Wu wondering if he had imagined the whole thing.
To confirm his suspicions, Lu Wu called out again, his voice filled with emotion.
This time, Jiang Yuxing was prepared, and her queenly persona remained intact, but her face flushed slightly.
Seeing this, Lu Wu's words became sweeter.
He called out to her, alternating between both sides of his mouth, and even mixed in some compliments.
Despite the shamelessness of his performance, Lu Wu's face turned slightly red.
After all, he didn't want to casually call her 'Mom.'
But she was the governor, and she had the power of a cleaver. Calling her 'Mom' for survival was not humiliating.
Of course, Lu Wu's ability to say it so smoothly was also related to Jiang Yuxing's stunning appearance.
If it were someone less attractive, Lu Wu might have chosen to be more dignified.
"Mom, this situation is a bit unexpected, and I don't have anything valuable on me. So, I'd like to offer you this necklace as a gift. It's the first gift my father gave me, and I've always considered it a talisman. When I wear it, I feel protected, and now I'd like to pass that protection on to you."
Although Lu Wu was speaking nonsense, his words had an impact.
Jiang Yuxing suddenly perceived the necklace in Lu Wu's hand as more radiant and couldn't refuse his offer.
She happily accepted the necklace.
In that moment, Lu Wu felt that the person before him was not a high-ranking queen governor but a maiden in love, easily deceived.
Lu Wu even contemplated how he might gain more advantages.
Then, Lu Wu saw Jiang Yuxing smile at him.
"I'm glad you like the gift. As your adoptive mother, I'd like to give you a gift in return!"
