Chapter 131 - Calm down?
Lu Xian Yu was lying down on his bed, covered with thick blankets and he was looking so pale because of his fever.
Li Bingbing was sitting on the chair beside their bed, she was holding his hand, her eyes filled with worry. The doctor has already checked up on him and told her that he was just having a high fever and that he was no longer in danger from the poison that entered his body.
He prescribed medicines for him but despite that, Li Bingbing still wanted to bring her husband to the hospital just to be sure.
She finally stood up and was about to get her phone when she suddenly felt Lu Xian Yu's hold on her hand tightened. "Don't... It's just a fever..."
She gritted her teeth as she looked at her stubborn husband, "How many times do I have to tell you to stop looking for fights! Now look at you, you're so sick! The poison could have killed you!"
Just like what she said, while Lu Xian Yu was looking for his daughter, he met people that wanted his life and while traveling places, he got poisoned by one of those that were after him.
"Madam, your sister, and her husband are here." A butler announced from outside of the room.
Li Bingbing was still glaring at Lu Xian Yu for a while.
Lu Xian Yu smiled a bit with a helpless look in his eyes, "I'll make it up to you..."
"Just make sure you do." She turned away and left the room.
...
In the living room...
"We brought some fruits for brother Xian Yu. We heard what happened from his mother." Shi Enxi gave her a basket of fruits.
Li Bingbing sighed, "That stubborn jackass just won't quit."
Shi Enxi saw how tired Li Bingbing was. Her face showed how worried she was for her husband despite her sharp words towards him.
"Mom, I found her." A man with messy hair and obvious eye and under his eyes entered the room. The man turned his blank eyes towards Shi Enxi and Lu Mello. "Oh... We have visitors."
Shi Enxi: "You found her?"
Xia Liqin nodded a bit, "Yeah... She's in Japan."
Li Bingbing sighed heavily, "And I still have to deal with a troublesome daughter." She turned to Xia Liqin, "Qinqing, schedule me a flight tonight."
"I... don't think that you'll be able to drag her a.s.s home, mom." Xia Liqin was hesitant about whether to tell his mother the situation of his sister. He, himself, was surprised after learning Lu Mengjie's situation.
Li Bingbing raised a brow, "And why is that?"
"It's better if we hide her... Si Hongqi will seriously go mad if he found her..."
Shi Enxi furrowed her brows upon hearing what Xia Liqin said. Si Hongqi is Lu Mengjie's fiance and he is known to be a calm and collected man. She never saw him get furious despite how much Lu Mengjie did crazy things.
"Is she... pregnant?" Shi Enxi asked curiously. "With another man's child?"
Yes, that could be the only reason to pull out the devil inside Si Hongqi.
Lu Mello and Li Bingbing were surprised by what Shi Enxi said.
"Pregnant with another man's child?" Lu Mello repeated, looking at Shi Enxi in confusion.
Shi Enxi grew up together with Lu Mengjie so she knew what kind of person she was and also the people around her. Lu Mengjie was basically her best friend if she has to put their close relationship into words.
"Is that true, Liqin?" Li Bingbing questioned her son with a stern look plastered on her face.
Xia Liqin averted his eyes from his mother. He knew that his sister was surely going to get it from their mother this time. He didn't have a choice but to tell his mother the rest, "Worse... She is already married. She gave birth two months ago."
Li Bingbing's face darkened. Everyone in the room could feel the temperature drop.
'Ah! Mother is turning into a dragon! She's turning into a dragon!' Xia Liqin feared his mother more than he feared Lu Xian Yu. He ended up hiding behind Shi Enxi.
Shi Enxi was also nervous, if there was someone she feared the most, it was her sister. She was definitely scary when angry. She was the only person she was willing not to mess up with.
Lu Mello was looking at the two who were like scared kittens upon seeing how angry Li Bingbing was.
Well... He was the only brave one in the room to speak up after seeing how monstrous she became. She looked like she was about to skin a bitch.
"Sister Bingbing, please calm down."
Li Bingbing turned her sharp gaze to Lu Mello, she smiled at him but despite that smile, the whole room was still under pressure. "Calm down? I'm calm right now, Mello."
But despite saying that, she was itching to destroy the room out of her anger.
"Mengjie must have a reason behind why she hid this from everyone." Lu Mello continued.
Li Bingbing smirked, "Oh, I would love to hear her reason."
"Liqin." She turned to her son. "Prepare for a flight tonight. We're going to pick up your sister."
"I'm-" Xia Liqin's voice squeaked. A blush appeared on his cheeks out of embarrassment. He was a man with a deep voice and yet he squeaked in front of others. He cleared his throat and tried his best to sound calm, "I'm coming?"
"Of course, sweetheart. You're coming with me."
Xia Liqin turned to Shi Enxi as if asking for help.
Shi Enxi placed her hand on his shoulder and with her gaze, she told him, 'You have to go or else, who will stop Jiejie from beating Mengjie?'
Despite not saying anything, Xia Liqin was able to understand her gaze. He wanted to cry. If he tried to stop Li Bingbing, he might end up being beaten as well.
Shi Enxi definitely didn't want to deal with their problem. She has enough problems to take care off and she definitely didn't want to add another one.
'Sorry Mengjie, it looks like I won't be able to help you this time.'-Shi Enxi
