The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 694 - 176 Run

And he, ever since he was a very small child, his father died in an accident, while his mother simply abandoned him. Later, it was his grandfather who picked him up and brought him home, raising him as he grew up.

Even if Elder Mu and Song Qiao tried to hide these things about Mu Shinian, how could a person as smart as Mu Shinian not have thought of these possibilities?

Moreover, he had previously sought out those old servants and asked them...

Seemingly sensing the change in Mu Shinian’s emotions, Lu Yulin immediately shifted a step towards him and, when Mu Shinian looked up at him in confusion, Lu Yulin gave him a toothy smile and a comforting look.

Lu Yulin didn’t know that Mu Shinian was recalling past events, creating a moment of gloominess; he thought Shinian was perhaps a bit scared of the outnumbering opponents.

However, it was Lu Yulin’s comforting gaze that made Mu Shinian feel an inexplicable urge to laugh, and his mood improved considerably in an instant.

His gaze returned to the two men and the woman in front of them. At this moment, one of the men was being berated so harshly that he almost wanted to lash out physically, but thankfully the other man behind him was holding onto his hand, signaling him to stay calm.

The man forcefully shrugged off his companion’s hand, his eyes landing on Mu Shinian as he sneered and said, "Mu Shinian, aside from having Lu Yulin here to protect you, what else can you do? Are you even a man?"

Mu Shinian slightly furrowed his brow, and just as Lu Yulin thought he was about to get angry, Shinian calmly looked at the man and said, "Whatever you have, I have too; if you’re a man, why wouldn’t I be? Have you got water in your brain? Asking such a stupid question."

Lu Yulin, "..." Damn, Mu Shinian, that’s strong, completely ignoring his previous provocations.

"You..." The man obviously didn’t expect Mu Shinian to respond like that, and for a moment, rage surged through him, nearly exploding in anger.

But it seemed he had already exploded, although still retaining a shred of rationality, he didn’t directly strike at Mu Shinian and Lu Yulin.

Because he was very clear that Lu Yulin was not only good at playing ball, but also formidable in a fight, for Lu Yulin had not only learned Taekwondo but also Sanda...

Damn it, if it weren’t for that, he would have gone up and punched the two of them long ago.

"Don’t look at me like that, I know you want to punch us. Why not come on up, I’ll give you a hand handicap," Lu Yulin said to the man with a half-smile, revealing the emotions the man was trying to suppress.

What is arrogance?

Isn’t this the definition of arrogance?

"Lu Yulin, don’t be too arrogant," finally, even the other man who came with the first couldn’t stand it anymore, stepping forward and pulling the trembling man back, standing in front of him to confront Lu Yulin.

Lu Yulin laughed, and looking at the man, burst into hearty laughter, his hand casually resting on Mu Shinian’s shoulder, asking him, "Shinian, he told me not to be too arrogant."

"Yeah, I heard that too," Mu Shinian replied without batting an eye, thought for a moment, and said, "Then just keep being arrogant."

What he liked doing the most was to make the other party increasingly frustrated, watching them look annoyed at him but not daring to make a move; that made them feel incredibly good.

"But didn’t you hear his tone? It sounded like a threat to me," Lu Yulin pointed at the man standing in front of them, pursed his lips and continued speaking to Mu Shinian.

"It’s alright, usually those who like to threaten others don’t end up with a good fate," Mu Shinian chuckled, shrugged his shoulders, and seemed to say casually, "I once knew someone who liked to threaten others just like him, but now the grass over his grave is taller than me."

Everyone, "..." Isn’t this essentially cursing someone indirectly?

Lu Yulin, "..." I like this sharp tongue.

Although Mu Shinian usually behaved like an exemplary student, maybe because he had spent too much time with Lu Yulin, he had learned to insult others quite a bit, and without using any curse words at that, his verbal skills were formidable.

Sometimes what Mu Shinian said was so well-articulated that it left the other party completely without the ability to retort, and those who weren’t very resilient might completely lose their temper and lash out before even realizing what Mu Shinian had said to them.

"What are you all doing? Yulin." Just then, a pleasant female voice rang out, followed by the sound of high heels on the floor coming closer and closer.

Everyone turned towards the sound in unison, momentarily taken aback, while Lu Yulin, upon hearing the voice, almost stumbled and fell, the thought ’run away’ flashing through his mind.

The moment the thought appeared in his mind, without hesitation, Lu Yulin grabbed Mu Shinian’s hand – who was just about to turn and look – and bolted in the opposite direction of the voice.

Mu Shinian, "..." What the hell is going on?

Mu Shinian thought the voice sounded vaguely familiar, but before he could get a clear view of the newcomer, he was dragged away by Lu Yulin. Realizing what was happening, he didn’t think twice and bolted after Lu Yulin.

At this point, he still didn’t understand why they were running.

"Teacher Yu... Good morning, Teacher Yu," the two men and the woman said as soon as they recognized the newcomer, promptly greeting her.

The newcomer was a tall woman in casual attire, wearing high heels, her long hair tied up, giving off a clean and decisive impression, radiating the aura of a strong woman.

However, she was a teacher, and moreover, she was a teacher at Lu Yulin’s school.

Yu Xia, a renowned third-generation red in An City, the Yu Family’s only daughter since birth, destined to have an extraordinary identity from the start. It was precisely such a girl who had the credentials to be in a marriage alliance with the Lu Family.

And the object of this marriage alliance was Lu Jingchen.

Who would have thought, however, that Lu Jingchen would marry another woman, completely ignoring the prepared marriage alliance with Yu Xia.

The reason Lu Yulin ran away was because he knew about Yu Xia’s relationship with his second uncle. Most importantly, Yu Xia was quite a tomboy who often bullied him.

Yu Xia looked in the direction where Lu Yulin and Mu Shinian had left, slightly furrowing her brows, then turned her gaze to the two boys and one girl in front of her and softly asked, "I could see you guys from a distance standing here. What were you planning to do?"

Her voice was very gentle, but at the same time, it carried an intangible pressure, which seemed to have little effect on ordinary adults but was quite significant to the few kids in front of her.

The three glanced at each other, and finally, the girl stepped forward and spoke up, "Teacher, we didn’t do anything. We just ran into Lu Yulin and Mu Shinian at the hospital and came over to say hello."

Yu Xia looked at the girl in front of her, squinting slightly with a gentle smile on her face, "Is that so? Well, they’ve already left, so if you have nothing else to do, you should leave too. It’s about time for lunch, don’t starve yourself."

The three of them nodded hastily and quickly departed.

In the school, there was hardly anyone who wasn’t afraid of Yu Xia, but at the same time, they also liked her.

Yu Xia had a straightforward personality and was very amiable, but sometimes she could also be very strict, especially in teaching, resembling a person with two faces.

One second she could be speaking gently with students, and the next second, if anyone did something wrong, she did not go easy on the punishment.

To quote Lu Yulin, a tomboy trying to act like a lady is still a tomboy at heart.

After the three students left, Yu Xia looked in the direction where Lu Yulin had disappeared, her lips curling into a slight smile. "Little guy, running so fast, I won’t eat you," she said jokingly.

With that, she put on her high heels and chased after Lu Yulin and the others.

...

Lu Yulin, who had just pulled Mu Shinian for a run, stopped and looked back, realizing that Yu Xia hadn’t caught up, finally let out a sigh of relief. Just about to speak, he suddenly felt a tickle in his nose, hurried to cover it, and promptly sneezed.

Lu Yulin, "..." Who’s cursing me.

Mu Shinian pulled out a pack of tissues from his pocket, handed one to him with a look of disgust, and said, "Wipe it off."

Lu Yulin took the tissue and roughly wiped his nose, then threw it into the trash can, belatedly asking Mu Shinian, "How come you carry tissues with you?"

"My sister just gave it to me," Mu Shinian replied without changing his expression, and then asked, "What were you running for just now? And who was that?"

"That one...," thought Mu Shinian for a moment, then said, "That’s the tomboy..."

"Lu Yulin, who are you calling a tomboy?"

However, before Lu Yulin’s voice fell, a threatening voice suddenly came from not far away.

Lu Yulin shuddered and turned his head to look, only to see Yu Xia with her arms crossed, standing in her high heels, walking towards them.

"Run." This was definitely Lu Yulin’s instinctive reaction upon seeing Yu Xia, grabbing Mu Shinian prepared to continue running.

Mu Shinian looked back, feeling somewhat familiar with the scene, took another glance, and then remembered, isn’t this the school teacher?

But at that moment, he was already being dragged forward by Lu Yulin, almost falling over from not keeping up, but fortunately, he regained his balance in time.

Seeing Lu Yulin about to run again, Yu Xia’s face turned dark in an instant.

This brat, always running away at the sight of me, could I really eat him?

Enough is enough.

If she caught him, she would have to give this naughty kid a good lesson, running away faster than a rabbit at the sight of her.

"Lu Yulin, if you dare to run again, I’m going to post pictures of your naked childhood butt on the school bulletin board."
