Chapter 510 - 497
"..." Lu Jinxuan, anxious, took two long strides forward, "Yu Sangwan! Come back to me!"
But Yu Sangwan couldn’t hear anything; she just focused on running forward. No money? She still had two legs! The humiliation they gave, she didn’t want it!
"Young Master!" Tang Yueze was also flustered, opening the car door, "Get in the car and chase her!"
Lu Jinxuan stopped, seeming to come to his senses, his expression suddenly cold, "Why should I chase her?"
"..." Tang Yueze was stunned, "Young Master, think about the big picture..."
Because Gong Xueyan was there, he didn’t continue.
"Hmph." Lu Jinxuan sneered, "With her limited capability, even if she comes back she’ll run again! No point chasing!"
Tang Yueze opened his mouth to say something, but was cut off by a glare from Lu Jinxuan, who lowered his voice, "Do you think she can handle Mrs. Lu and this woman?"
"..." Tang Yueze was stunned, what did the young master mean by this? Was he considering Yu Sangwan?
Lu Jinxuan withdrew his gaze and walked towards the car. "Not leaving yet?"
"Yes."
Original House.
"Son, you’re back?" Mrs. Lu welcomed him at the entrance, looking somewhat weary.
"Let me look at you properly, Xueyan said your leg was injured? How bad is it?"
Lu Jinxuan maintained a nonchalant demeanor, allowing Mrs. Lu to hold his arm, suddenly smiling, "Mom, are you not wearing makeup today?"
"What?" Mrs. Lu was taken aback, her face darkening, "What does that mean?"
"Oh." Lu Jinxuan laughed lightly, "It means nothing, just wanted to say that without makeup you look very weary... After all, you’re getting older; it’s better to dress up occasionally."
"You..." Mrs. Lu’s blood surged, "I’m worried about you that’s why I..."
"Ha!" Mrs. Lu laughed interrupting herself, "Don’t say that, this kind face doesn’t suit you..."
Mrs. Lu was completely rigid, unable to say anything.
"So...," Lu Jinxuan looked around, "Where is Qinglan?"
"You..." Mrs. Lu was shocked again, glanced at Gong Xueyan behind him and shook her head in urgency, "Kid, what are you talking about? Xueyan is here! Why are you looking for Qinglan?"
Lu Jinxuan frowned impatiently, raising his neck and shouted, "Uncle Zhong!"
"Yes." The butler hurried over, his attitude timid and fearful, "Young, young master..."
"Where is Qinglan?" He purposely omitted the surname, sounding more affectionate.
"This..." The butler hesitated, pointing behind, "Madam asked Miss Mu to clean in the backyard..."
The voice got quieter, Uncle Zhong couldn’t lift his head.
Lu Jinxuan’s face was grim, speaking sinisterly, "Mrs. Lu, what should I say about you? Why can’t you bear to see your own son happy? Anything your son likes, you have to destroy, don’t you?"
This was an outright interrogation!
"..." Even Gong Xueyan was stunned, she’d never seen such a brazen Lu Jinxuan, bold and outrageous beyond decorum.
"Hmph!"
Lu Jinxuan flicked his sleeve and walked towards the backyard.
In the backyard, Mu Qinglan was indeed cleaning like a servant.
Looking at this scene, Lu Jinxuan actually felt nothing. Truth be told, whether Mu Qinglan lived or died had nothing to do with him! However, he really needed Mu Qinglan now.
"Qinglan!"
Lu Jinxuan called out, walking straight to Mu Qinglan.
"Uh..." Mu Qinglan was startled, her hands flitting around her sides. "Jinxuan... no, Young Master."
"Lu Jinxuan." Gong Xueyan saw and hurriedly called to him, "Stop, are you going to approach that woman in front of me?"
Lu Jinxuan halted, slightly turning, with a hint of ridicule on his lips, "What? Can’t I?"
Without waiting for Gong Xueyan to speak, he said again, "Don’t forget what you said yourself, you just want the title of fiancée, as for how many women I have outside... you wouldn’t care at all! You’re wise, sensible... a good woman! Aren’t you?"
Finished speaking, he continued towards Mu Qinglan.
Gong Xueyan was stunned, feeling as if slapped hard! Indeed, she did say those words, but... she didn’t know she’d actually fall for Lu Jinxuan! So much that she just wanted to possess him, hoping his eyes and heart would only hold her!
Lu Jinxuan stood before Mu Qinglan, her heart racing, awkwardly looking at him, "I..."
Disgust flashed in Lu Jinxuan’s eyes before he quickly adjusted, smiling warmly, "Tired?"
"Uh..." Mu Qinglan shook her head sluggishly, her cheeks reddening, "No, no tired."
"No, you’re tired." Lu Jinxuan’s voice was firm, his deep gaze falling on Mu Qinglan.
Mu Qinglan suddenly felt a jolt, holding her temples, swaying on her feet, "I..."
"Qinglan." Lu Jinxuan smiled satisfied, bending down to scoop Mu Qinglan up, turning to face Mrs. Lu and Gong Xueyan’s stiff, pale faces. Hey! Saved on foundation.
Mrs. Lu spoke first, "Son, what does this look like? In Xueyan’s presence, put her down quickly!"
"Oh? Why?" Lu Jinxuan grinned casually, "It’s you who made her tired, she’s not well, don’t you know?"
Gong Xueyan was astonished upon hearing this. She thought there was only Yu Sangwan, but now there’s Mu Qinglan too? Also, from their conversation, it was evident Lu Jinxuan and Mu Qinglan were not just acquaintances of a few days.
How could she bear this?
"Lu Jinxuan!" Gong Xueyan reached out, blocking Lu Jinxuan.
Not a hint of warmth in Lu Jinxuan’s eyes, "What?"
"You..." Gong Xueyan glanced at Mu Qinglan nestled in his arms, feeling an urge to tear her apart but had to restrain herself.
"I ask you, what about this woman? Don’t I have the right to know?"
So humble! Lu Jinxuan sneered inwardly.
Raising his eyebrows, "Sure, she’s Mu Qinglan, a woman I’ve kept in Donghua for seven years!"
"..." Gong Xueyan shuddered, struck like by lightning! A woman kept for seven years in Donghua...
Mrs. Lu hurriedly tried to intervene, "Xueyan, don’t listen to his nonsense, it’s not like that..."
Lu Jinxuan held Mu Qinglan, shaking his head thoughtfully, "You can’t cover the truth! To tell you frankly, I’ve kept her for seven years and I’ll continue doing so!"
"Nonsense!" Mrs. Lu shouted fiercely, her chest heaving, "As long as I’m here, you can’t act so recklessly, Original House can’t be a place for you to do as you please! Immediately, right away, let her leave Original House!"
"You’re strange!" Lu Jinxuan’s face full of puzzlement, "Weren’t you the one who brought her here?"
"..." Mrs. Lu was dumbfounded, glancing at Gong Xueyan, deeply embarrassed.
Lu Jinxuan paid no attention, "Alright, seeing your attitude, I don’t dare keep her in Original House. There are so many places to stay, it doesn’t have to be Original House. I’ll take her away immediately..."
Mrs. Lu felt relieved hearing this, hurriedly comforting Gong Xueyan, "Xueyan, Jinxuan still knows propriety, he won’t act unruly at home..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jinxuan sneered, "Pff, by the way, don’t expect to see me here at Original House from today on, I won’t be back."
"What?" Mrs. Lu’s blood surged once again, "Stop right there!"
Lu Jinxuan had exhausted his patience, shouting at Tang Yueze, "Tang Yueze, why are you still standing there? Go start the car! And call the doctor, Qinglan is feeling unwell!"
"Yes!" Tang Yueze was somewhat excited, knowing that the young master wasn’t really "returning."
Once inside the car, Lu Jinxuan immediately tossed Mu Qinglan into the corner.
The car started moving, Mu Qinglan hadn’t yet recovered from her earlier emotions, still dwelling in the moment, her face blushing as she looked at Lu Jinxuan.
"Tsk!" Lu Jinxuan glared at her with disgust, "Keep away from me! Remember, if you want no trouble... just stay put and don’t ask anything, don’t be curious! Otherwise, I’ll make you sleep like you did seven years ago!"
"..." Mu Qinglan shrank in fear, "Oh."
What was happening? Although Lu Jinxuan wasn’t particularly approachable before, he wasn’t this violent, moody, and unpredictable!
