Indulging Mrs. Lu

Chapter 585 - 583: Sassy Man

If you must blame anyone, blame Leng Wanxi for her deep obsession.

Little did they know, what Peng Yi said next shocked Xiao Qing even more.

He said, "I’ve investigated clearly, those people were bribed by Lu Xiao, all women..."

Lu Xiao...women...

She had heard that the place was chaotic, but to what extent, Xiao Qing didn’t know. But to think that Lu Xiao could still manage such deeds while being locked up there...

Xiao Qing couldn’t help but shiver.

This person, Lu Xiao, his shrewdness and patience are incomparable to ordinary people.

Before she knew it, Xiao Qing was enveloped in a firm embrace, a rich male voice resonated above her head, "Don’t overthink, Lu Xiao won’t be able to come out anymore, Lu Minghao won’t save him."

"Mhm."

The two held each other quietly, right in front of Peng Yi.

Peng Yi didn’t know whether to leave or stay, awkwardly trying to hide behind the sofa to minimize his presence.

Just at that moment, the ringtone of his phone decided to break the silence, sounding neither too early nor too late.

As Lu Jinyang glanced over, Peng Yi almost cried, but seeing the caller ID, he immediately answered the call, his expression turning serious.

Xiao Qing also looked towards Peng Yi, probably guessing that this call might bring some new information.

Sure enough.

After hanging up, Peng Yi spoke to them, "Boss, madam, the Xiao Family has learned of your return and is currently on their way here. They want to invite you back to the mansion for a meal."

The "Xiao Family’s people" he mentioned naturally weren’t Xiao Qing’s parents, nor could it be Xiao Anze, otherwise they would have come over as soon as they heard of Xiao Qing’s return.

Xiao Qing glanced at Lu Jinyang, pondered for a moment, then said to Peng Yi, "Let them come, but tell the old master and madam not to let them see Big Treasure and Little Treasure yet."

If she wasn’t mistaken, the visitors should be her eldest uncle’s son and her third uncle’s daughter.

Both of whom, not to be trifled with.

Peng Yi proceeded as Xiao Qing instructed, leaving just the couple in the living room.

Xiao Qing asked him, "Lu Jinyang, with the Xiao Family’s myriad of issues, avoid getting involved if you can, otherwise it will be hard to extricate yourself."

Lu Jinyang looked thoughtful as he gazed at her, and after a long while, he nodded.

Whether this nod meant he agreed to not get involved, or was acknowledging his understanding of the situation, only Lu Jinyang himself knew.

An hour later, two expensive cars parked at the entrance of the villa, a man and a woman got out of the cars respectively.

Both had a similar expression on their faces: aloofness.

Xiao Qing and Lu Jinyang didn’t go out to meet them, but instead waited in the living room until they came in, then both stood up.

"Big brother, little sister," Xiao Qing called out to them.

"Ah, my dear Qingqing sister, you’re finally back, your brother missed you~" said the flamboyant man, gesturing to come forward and embrace Xiao Qing.

Before he could get close to her, an extra hand appeared by her side blocking him from advancing.

The man turned his head, arched an eyebrow looking at Lu Jinyang, "And who might you be?"

Lu Jinyang felt uncomfortable under his distinctly unfriendly gaze, but he endured and reached out his hand, "Lu Jinyang."

Yet, the man looked as if he discovered a new world, his eyes full of excitement, "You are the business legend of Empire, Lu Jinyang?"

"Legend might be an overstatement, just a mere mortal, Xiao Qing’s husband."

At those words, not only was the man surprised, but the woman referred to as little sister by Xiao Qing was also visibly shocked.
