Indulging Mrs. Lu

Chapter 587 - 585 Traces of a Spider Web

This call of "brother-in-law" really took Xiao Qing by surprise.

Xiao Enli actually accepted his identity just based on a few words from Lu Jinyang?

For a moment, she didn’t quite understand what Xiao Enli was getting at.

By comparison, Lu Jinyang casually accepted the title, chatting with him intermittently.

As Xiao Qing listened to their conversation, she realized that from beginning to end, Lu Jinyang was speaking officialese, never getting to the point. She genuinely admired the man.

After about an hour of chatting, Xiao Sewei grew restless.

She stood up, speaking to Xiao Enli with annoyance, "Big brother, you just come here to chat, are we still inviting them to dinner tonight or not?"

"Yes! Of course, we are!"

With an apologetic face, Xiao Enli said to Lu Jinyang and Xiao Qing, "Look at my memory, always forgetting things. Today happens to be a family gathering, I’ve told grandfather you guys were back, and without another word, he sent me and Sewei to pick you up. Let’s go, it’ll be dark soon."

Having said this, Xiao Enli glanced around within the reachable area, and asked, "Where are Dabao and Xiaobao? Why didn’t they come back with you?"

When Ye Han and Lu Zhiyuan brought Dabao and Xiaobao to the United States before, Lu Jinyang instructed the four seniors not to reveal that Dabao and Xiaobao were brought to the United States, to avoid unnecessary trouble for their safety.

Therefore, for such a long time in the United States, Dabao and Xiaobao had barely gone out, and the seniors of the Xiao Family would sneak over to meet with them clandestinely.

"Big brother, Dabao and Xiaobao didn’t come with us."

"Nonsense! Without familiar people to look after you in the Empire, how could you be so careless?"

Xiao Qing held her forehead, not knowing how to respond to his question.

It was Lu Jinyang who spoke up instead.

"My parents are with the two kids; they will be fine." At the end, he added, "They are very fond of Dabao and Xiaobao."

Even though Xiao Enli was puzzled, it wasn’t his place to pry further, so he simply nodded, "Alright, let’s head over now."

Lu Jinyang didn’t refuse; he led Xiao Qing along with them, heading towards the Xiao Mansion.

However, they insisted on driving their own car.

Xiao Qing was somewhat puzzled by his behavior, she asked, "Why did you agree so readily?"

"Your family, naturally I should try to please them."

His words left Xiao Qing speechless, her heart sweetened. Well, considering he didn’t show a bad attitude towards her family, she would not hold it against him.

Yet, what she didn’t know was that Lu Jinyang had his own plans.

From the beginning, Lu Jinyang had wanted to find an opportunity to visit the Lu Family and see everyone, to find the person who had put the Contraceptive Ring in Xiao Qing. Unexpectedly, on the day he had just arrived, fate had presented him with this opportunity, which delighted him immensely.

He thought that if the person who didn’t want Xiao Qing to get pregnant saw Lu Jinyang by her side, they would likely be unable to restrain themselves from doing something.

At that time, as long as he was a little more attentive, he would definitely be able to find some clues!

The Xiao Mansion was very large, twice the size of the Lu Mansion in B city.

The car had to be parked in the parking lot at the entrance gate; to go further inside, one had to walk through a maple forest.

Xiao Qing and Lu Jinyang walked along, admiring the fallen leaves covering the ground.

She glanced at Xiao Enli and Xiao Sewei ahead at a distance, and said softly to Lu Jinyang, "When you meet grandfather later, don’t follow their lead in calling him; just call him Old Master Xiao."

"Why?"
