Indulging Mrs. Lu

Chapter 512 - 510: Pay Attention to Your Image

"No way!"

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Jinyang cut him off.

"You..."

"I am related to you; if it wasn’t for your sake, the person waking up inside would be facing a lawsuit today."

Lu Jinyang’s voice was neither light nor heavy, but to Lu Xiao, it had a different meaning—it was a warning not to meddle in affairs that weren’t his own.

Lu Xiao pursed his lips and said no more.

But Lin Kaixiong didn’t understand what Lu Jinyang meant, so he spoke up, "Lu Jinyang, if you don’t give me an explanation, I will sue you in court, and even if it costs me all my assets, I’ll make sure you end up in jail!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jinyang’s eyebrows lifted, seemingly amused by the threat. He looked at Lin Kaixiong for a while and then nodded, "Sure, go ahead and try. We’ll see whether you spend all your assets or I end up in jail."

Lu Xiao observed the two speaking without interrupting or making any comment.

Knowing Lu Jinyang’s character, he wouldn’t take action without being certain of the outcome, which meant that Lu Jinyang must have some evidence in his possession that gave him such confidence.

With this thought, Lu Xiao saw that Lin Kaixiong seemed ready to speak again and quickly pulled him aside, "Xiaoxiao should have eaten by now, didn’t you say you had something you wanted to talk to her about?"

Lin Kaixiong, reluctantly heeding Lu Xiao’s implied suggestion, walked back into the hospital room.

With everyone gone, Lu Xiao said to Lu Jinyang, "Bro, don’t be angry with him, he’s just overprotective of his daughter. And don’t really sue him, he was just making empty threats."

"The lawsuit will definitely happen."

"Bro, you..."

"Don’t worry, not right now." At the very least, we should wait until Lin Xiaoxiao has recovered halfway before making a move.

Lu Xiao wanted to ask more, but seeing that Lu Jinyang didn’t seem in a good mood, he didn’t continue the topic, "I didn’t see you at last night’s banquet, was something up?"

"Mhm, something very important."

Xiao Qing, who had been feeling groggy, suddenly perked up upon hearing this.

Catching Xiao Qing’s reaction out of the corner of his eye, Lu Jinyang casually pulled her a little closer, but she dodged, "Watch the image."

He retorted, "What’s there to fear, you are Lu Xiao’s sister-in-law, right?"

The latter half of his words were directed towards Lu Xiao.

With a forced smile, Lu Xiao responded, "Bro, your wife is really blessed. To disappear for five years and then return to live such an exciting life."

"It’s me who is blessed. My wife has come back from the dead. Don’t you agree?"

Xiao Qing initially thought he was speaking to Lu Xiao, but after a long silence without a response from Lu Xiao, she sneaked a peek at Lu Jinyang, only to find him looking straight at her.

"Are you asking me?" she blinked her eyes.

"Mhm."

So, it was her he was asking! After a moment of thought, she earnestly said, "At the end of the day, we’re both fortunate."

Anyway, since the sentence was meant for Lu Xiao to hear, she simply chose the words that Lu Jinyang would like.

Thereupon, with a troubled expression, Lu Xiao found an excuse and walked into the hospital room. After Lu Xiao left, Leng Wanxi, who had been standing behind them, came forward and smiled gently.

"Xiao Qing, so the friend you mentioned turns out to be cousin Xiaoxiao. Why don’t you come in and sit for a while?"

No sooner had she finished speaking, Xiao Qing grabbed Lu Jinyang and hurried away.

What a foolish woman! Seeing that neither Lin Kaixiong nor Lu Xiao had invited them, yet she, a bride who had just joined the family, dared to say such things!

This stupid woman will surely be the death of herself one day.

Thinking so, Xiao Qing grasped Lu Jinyang’s hand and walked even faster...
