Lu Xingzhi did not really need Chen Xuyao to handle that matter. He knew about the film and television company. Even though it had been operating in Jindo City for two or three years, it did not have a deep foundation. Chen Xuyao, a native of Jindo City, could have easily dealt with that kind of businessman.
Someone had beaten up his wifeâs brother and bullied his sister. It was not something he would tolerate.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After Lu Xingzhi sent the text message, he returned the phone to Jiang Yao. âIâve asked Chen Xuyao to send the medicine that you left in Jin City to Xiaoxiao.â
Jiang Yao had left a lot of commonly used medicine there. Naturally, there was also a lot of medication to treat injuries.
Downstairs, Mrs. Lu and Cheng Jinnian were talking happily. Mrs. Lu asked about Cheng Jinnianâs mother, who was also Jiang Yaoâs biological mother. Mrs. Lu was concerned when she knew that Cheng Jinnianâs mother was in poor health.
It was not until Moe jumped onto Mrs. Luâs lap and looked at her that Mrs. Lu remembered that she had to go to the market to buy some chicken drumsticks for him.
âIâll go buy them for you now.â Mrs. Lu hugged Moe in her arms and laughed. Mrs. Lu called for Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao. âCome down and accompany Xiao Nian if you have nothing to do. Iâm going out now. Donât let Xiao Nian stay downstairs alone.â
Jiang Yao, who was in the room, immediately pushed Lu Xingzhi out when she heard that. âYou Go! I donât want to go down.
Lu Xingzhi raised his hand and patted Jiang Yaoâs head. He put on his clothes and opened the door to leave the bedroom.
When Lu Xingzhi went downstairs, Mrs. Lu got up to get her bag and said to Cheng Jinnian, âStay with your brother-in-law.â
After that, Mrs. Lu turned to Lu Xingzhi and said, âTake care of Xiao Nian. Donât neglect him.â
After that, Mrs. Lu left the house with a basket in one hand and Moe in the other.
As soon as Mrs. Lu left, Lu Xingzhi sat down beside Cheng Jinnian. The two of them stared at each other, but neither said anything. There seemed to be a battle going on in their eyes.
âAuntie said that youâve done meritorious service this time.â
Cheng Jinnian was the first to open his mouth. However, his tone was no longer as childish as when he spoke to Mrs. Lu. Instead, he spoke like a spoiled brat. Although he had to look up at Lu Xingzhi, he had looked at the older man scornfully. âMy sister has done a meritorious deed as well! A man like you canât compare to my sister! Youâre not worthy of her!â
âEven if Iâm not worthy of her, Iâve still married her. Iâm her husband, her man.â Lu Xingzhi crossed his legs nonchalantly. âWhat are you? Who are you? Did she agree for you to call her sister?â
In terms of infuriating people, Lu Xingzhiâs skill was not low at all. It was just that he did not like to open his mouth most of the time.
Then, Lu Xingzhi saw Cheng Jinnianâs pouting and sad expression. He picked up the newspaper from yesterday and read it casually.
One could not say that Lu Xingzhi was ignoring Cheng Jinnianâhe was just not a talkative person. Even when he was with Jiang Yao, she would be the one speaking most of the time. Perhaps Mrs. Lu should not have asked him to entertain their guest.
Jiang Yao was quietly observing the situation downstairs. She saw Lu Xingzhi reading the newspaper while Cheng Jinnian placed his hands on his knees and remained motionless like a statue. There was no more conversation between the two of them after that. Jiang Yao curled her lips and thought, âHow boringâ¦â
