The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 695 - 177 Yu Xia and Lu Jingchen

Lu Yulin staggered upon hearing this, nearly toppling over, and turned back with a glare at Yu Xia, who stood not far behind without following. She had a look of total confidence that he would stop, as if she was certain. He wanted to rush up and have a fight with Yu Xia, but after locking eyes with her, Lu Yulin just pursed his lips, wearing a defeated expression, and didn’t dare to run any further.

Seeing Lu Yulin standing there, wanting to run but not daring to, Yu Xia’s lips slowly curled into a radiant smile, even with a touch of warmth.

Yu Xia did not teach Mu Shinian and the others; there are over a hundred teachers in the school, so Mu Shinian only knew of her as a teacher, but was not very familiar with her.

Hearing Yu Xia threaten Lu Yulin just now, he instinctively looked towards Lu Yulin next to him, who was looking rather displeased. He moved his lips wanting to ask the question in his mind, but in the end, he did not ask. Instead, he stood there with Mu Shinian, both of them watching Yu Xia who was slowly approaching.

Yu Xia walked straight up to the two of them, with a sly smile in her eyes, she reached out and pinched Lu Yulin’s cheek, speaking in a very annoying tone, "Run, why aren’t you running? Kiddo, weren’t you running quite fast just now?"

At this moment, Lu Yulin’s heart was crumbling. No one had ever pinched his cheeks growing up, yet this stinky woman Yu Xia had to pinch them every time she saw him.

Really, that’s enough.

Swatting away Yu Xia’s hand, Lu Yulin rubbed his slightly sore cheek, grimacing, he protested, "Stinky woman, if you have something to say, say it properly, don’t get physical."

So annoying.

Yu Xia revealed a smile, this time not pinching his cheek but raising her hand to mess up his hair instead, speaking unhappily, "Lu Yulin, according to seniority you should be calling me ’auntie.’ If I married your second uncle, you’d have to call me ’second aunt.’ Don’t be so disrespectful, or I might beat you up."

"My second uncle would never marry you, stinky woman," Lu Yulin retorted and snorted.

Mu Shinian, who was next to them, heard their conversation, was somewhat stunned, and then belatedly realized they were talking about his ’second uncle’ Lu Jingchen. His face slightly changed as he looked directly at Yu Xia in front of him.

But Yu Xia’s next words were unexpected.

"Don’t worry, I don’t want to marry your second uncle either. He’s not my type. I used to think that if I didn’t marry him, he wouldn’t be able to find a wife, but now... Well..." Yu Xia withdrew her hands and crossed her arms, looking at Lu Yulin with a smile, "I heard your second uncle got married, is it true or false?"

At this moment, Yu Xia’s smile was incredibly bright, but if you looked closely at her eyes, you would subconsciously think she was smirking like a fox.

Lu Yulin was not sure whether his second uncle was really married. He had taken Mu Shinian’s words as a joke before, but now that Yu Xia had brought it up, he subconsciously nodded and hurriedly said, "Of course, it’s true. My second uncle is married now, and his wife is much more beautiful than you."

When he said this, he subconsciously thought about Mu Shinian’s expression, that beautiful and very gentle woman.

Putting together what Mu Shinian had said before, he almost instinctively felt that what Mu Shinian said must be true, and if his cousin became his second aunt, it wouldn’t be too bad.

Hearing what Lu Yulin said, Yu Xia let out a meaningful ’oh’, and then her gaze fell on Mu Shinian next to him. Her eyes lit up, and she reached out to pinch Mu Shinian’s cheek, saying, "Yo, is this kid your good friend, what’s his name, Mu... Mu something Shinian? He’s not bad-looking, quite handsome. He’s sure to be a heartbreaker when he grows up."

Mu Shinian, "... "Grandpa, there’s a weird auntie here, help me."

Suddenly being pinched on the cheek, Mu Shinian forgot to react for a moment, and inexplicably felt the urge to run away from Yu Xia.

He seemed to understand why Lu Yulin wanted to run just now.

"Stinky woman, don’t go pinching people’s faces, let go..." As soon as Lu Yulin saw Yu Xia laying hands on Mu Shinian, his face turned dark, and he promptly slapped away her hand that was pinching Mu Shinian’s cheek.

Yu Xia realized that her action might have scared him, so she pulled her hand back, but then looked at Lu Yulin and smiled, saying, "Take me to see this legendary wife of your second uncle. I want to see if she’s prettier than me."

Lu Yulin, "... "Can I refuse?"

Mu Shinian, "... "Sis, a weird auntie is coming to find you."

...

When Song Qiao returned to the hospital room with some food, she didn’t see Mu Shinian and Lu Yulin. She slightly furrowed her brows and handed the things to Nurse Zhang, saying, "I have to go back to the company this afternoon, call me if you need anything, Nurse Zhang."

Nurse Zhang took the items, smiling and nodding, "Okay, miss."

The food was bought for Nurse Zhang and Mu Shinian to eat because the company had called her just now, saying that there were some matters she needed to handle.

After instructing Nurse Zhang a few more times, Song Qiao went to the bedside and adjusted Elder Mu’s blanket. Then she picked up her handbag and left.

Just as Song Qiao entered the elevator and the door was closing, another elevator opened, and a strikingly handsome man with an expressionless face stepped out with his assistant behind him carrying a fruit basket. The two walked straight out of the elevator.

Lu Jingchen stepped out of the elevator and headed directly to Elder Mu’s hospital room, exuding a powerful aura and an air of keeping others at bay.

At this time, three people just happened to come out of the stairwell and ran into him head-on.

Lu Jingchen narrowed his eyes slightly when he recognized the person, and directly spoke, "Yu Xia, how come you’re here?"

Yu Xia, together with Lu Yulin and Mu Shinian, had climbed the stairs to get here. Elder Mu’s ward was on the seventh floor. Initially, Lu Yulin wanted to take the elevator, but Yu Xia, who was always one to hold grudges, stopped him and insisted they climb the stairs instead, claiming it was good exercise. In reality, she was teaching the young fellow Lu Yulin a lesson.

As soon as Lu Yulin saw his second uncle, he immediately rushed over, complaining, "Second Uncle, that stinky woman bullied me."

Second Uncle, his role model and idol.

Lu Jingchen furrowed his brows and looking at his little nephew, he knew that he got along well with Mu Shinian, so his presence at the hospital did not surprise him. He spoke indifferently, "Don’t be so disrespectful. You should call her ’Aunt’."

Lu Yulin was metaphorically spitting blood, originally thinking his second uncle would take his side, only to be scolded himself, yet he was stubbornly unyielding.

Mu Shinian caught sight of Lu Jingchen and was slightly startled, then cautiously called out, "Brother-in-law."

Lu Jingchen’s gaze fell on Mu Shinian, and unlike his stern look toward Lu Yulin, his face softened and he directly asked, "Have you had lunch?"

Mu Shinian paused, then subconsciously shook her head.

"Wait a bit, I’ll take you all to lunch."

"Okay, thank you, Brother-in-law." Without the previous caution, Mu Shinian smiled happily.

This address of ’Brother-in-law’ did indeed lift Lu Jingchen’s spirits quite a bit.

Yu Xia on the side was already a bit dumbfounded, shifting her gaze onto Mu Shinian and only belatedly realizing—Lu Jingchen married her elder sister?

Just as dumbfounded was Lu Yulin, who only now belatedly realized.

Shit, Mu Shinian was telling the truth; his cousin really did marry his Second Uncle.

"Lu Jingchen, you’re really married?" Yu Xia propped up her chin, opened her mouth, and then directly pointed at Lu Jingchen and burst out with an expletive, shouting, "Shit, Lu Jingchen, you actually got married? How is that possible? I’m not even married yet, and someone actually took you?"

The assistant, "..." Dumbfounded, as if implying our boss couldn’t find anyone to marry him.

Lu Yulin, "..." Stinky woman, making it sound like my second uncle is so undesirable.

Mu Shinian, "..." Sister, that weird aunt is talking nonsense again.

All three people had different reactions, all turning their gaze to Yu Xia with eyes that all looked at her as if she were some weird aunt.

However, Lu Jingchen, his expression unchanged, casually glanced at her and spoke in a tone almost indistinguishable from his usual, "Mm, I’ll introduce you to her sometime."

Yu Xia, upon hearing this, immediately gave a radiant smile, "Sure, as long as you don’t mind me bullying your wife."

Lu Jingchen’s expression remained the same, one hand comfortably in his pocket and the other at his side, pausing his motion to walk towards Elder Mu. He turned his head to look at Yu Xia, his brow slightly raised in a way that was meaningful as he spoke, "You won’t be able to bully her."

With Song Qiao’s sly and highly intelligent nature, it would be a good thing if she didn’t bully Yu Xia.

Especially since Yu Xia was not that intelligent.

Yu Xia didn’t know what Lu Jingchen was thinking, still less that he always considered her intelligence to be lacking.

If she knew, she would definitely spit in his face and possibly even strangle him to make him take back his thoughts.

...

Song Qiao had just left the hospital and was ready to hail a cab to the office when she got a call from Lu Jingchen.

Standing on the roadside, with vehicles and pedestrians coming and going, she raised her eyes to the glaring sun above and couldn’t help but squint slightly. She brought the phone to her ear and greeted him with a "hello."

At the end of the hospital’s seventh-floor corridor, near the window, a tall man stood looking down at the people below. His thin lips parted slightly as he asked, "Where are you now?"

The woman on the other end of the call was taken aback and then replied, "Outside the hospital, what’s wrong?"

"Wait for me, I’m coming out to pick you up. Stay there and wait for me."
