âThere are dirty clothes in there; you should take them out and wash them first,â Jiang Yao said. âYou definitely wonât have time to wash clothes for the next three days. I have nothing to do now, so I can help you wash them. Youâll be busy when you go back to the army, so you wonât need to find the time to wash the dirty clothes.â
âWhy would I be busy? Itâs only two sets of clothes. Sit here and talk to us.â After Lu Xingzhi put his luggage away, he held Jiang Yaoâs hand and went outside.
Lu Yuqing stood there as she turned to Jiang Yao and said, âBased on my understanding of my younger brother, there must be something shameful in his luggage that he doesnât want you to see.â
Lu Yuqingâs casual words drew Lu Xingzhiâs furious roar.
âLu Yuqing, shut up!â
âHeâs so angry from embarrassmentâso scary!â Lu Yuqing raised her eyebrows at Jiang Yao. Then she turned around with a smile and returned to the outer room to sit with Gu Haoyu.
âSister Yuqing, if Xingzhi gets angry, he will kick you out.â Gu Haoyu poured a cup of tea for Lu Yuqing and smiled. âEven if you are his biological sister, he can still be merciless.â
âI know; it wonât be the first time anyway. I just think itâs interesting to see him angry, right?â Lu Yuqing laughed. âHe has been acting like a mature young man since he was young. As his elder sister, I didnât even have the chance to tease him. Itâs quite fun to make up for it now.â
Lu Xingzhi heard Lu Yuqingâs words when he held Jiang Yaoâs hand as they walked outside. He had tried to keep it in for a long time before he told Lu Yuqing to get lost. If she were not his sister, how would she have the chance to sit and chat with Gu Haoyu?
âHave the test results come out yet?â Gu Haoyao decided to change the topic to diffuse the situation between the siblings.
Jiang Yao had not had the chance to ask Lu Xingzhi about that, so she was relieved to hear Gu Haoyaoâs question. She even looked at Lu Xingzhi carefully as she wanted to observe his expression. However, in the next second, his large palm landed softly on her foreheadâit covered her line of sight.
Then, she heard his voice from above her head. âYou have no confidence in your man?â
âJudging from his tone, he must have passed the test.â Lu Yuqing smiled.
âHmm.â Lu Xingzhi nodded. âIf I were to rank second, no one would dare to be first.â
He was so arrogant that he did not even try to hide it. However, those three people believed him.
âZhu Shisan came to Nanjiang City personally, and he wanted to see both you and Jiang Yao through Director Ye. However, I blocked him,â Gu Haoyu said. âItâs been two days; I think Iâve suppressed his arrogance enough.â
âThereâs no need to see him,â Lu Xingzhi said. âDirector Ye told the Zhu family that if they donât want Zhu Qianlan in Nanjiang Cityâs jail for the next two years, they should disown her. She is not to set foot in Z Country for the rest of her life or let me see her again.â
Lu Yuqing gasped when she heard her brotherâs words. She turned around and looked at him. Somehow she felt as if she could no longer recognize her younger brother.
He was arrogant in the army because he had excellent abilities. He was proud even if he was not in it. That was how capable her brothers were.
The Lu family had a great background, but it was limited to that small city. No one would know them outside the city.
Gu Haoyu thought about it for a moment. âIâll call my family and ask them to come forward.â If they wanted to force someone out of their family, it was probably easier to get his family involved.
