_1 401: Chapter 290: Iâm not joking, Iâm warning you!
_1 At the breakfast table, Nanxi was quietly eating her food, occasionally lifting her head to gaze at the man across from her, creating a somewhat awkward atmosphere!
Honestly, Nanxi still felt as if she were in a dream.
Thinking about what happened last night made her cheeks flush with embarrassment.
As a result, when she came downstairs, Lu Yinchu thought she was sick or had a fever!
Nanxi felt that even if she wasnât ill, she was not far from it!
Actually, while Nanxi was secretly observing Lu Yinchu, he was also secretly observing her!
Because he had drunk last night, he didnât wake up until past ten this morning.
He was then woken up by his mobile phone ringing, and quickly went to the balcony with his phone.
Nanxi wasnât woken up!
The call was from Xia Zhen.
Xia Zhen said, âYour eldest cousin is coming back to the country today.
She should be home around three in the afternoon.
Tonight, your eldest cousin, his family, and our family are going to have dinner together.
Iâm calling you mainly because of Nanxiâ¦
Now you are married to Nanxi, although itâs a secret marriage, tonight is a family gathering.
To outsiders we can keep it a secret, but we should at least tell our familyâ¦â
âMomâ¦â Lu Yinchu interrupted Xia Zhenâs words and took a deep breath, âMom, Nanxi wonât be able to attend the family feast right nowâ¦â
Xia Zhen was taken aback on the other end and asked, âWhy?â
âMomâ¦
You know what kind of person my eldest cousinâs wife is.
Even now, she targets you all the time.
Nanxi has a unique background, and I donât want to give her one more thing to use against you.
At the same time, I donât want Nanxi to be wrongedâ¦â
Xia Zhen was a bit surprised, âYinchu, actually, your eldest cousinâs wife, sheâ¦â
âMom, you donât have to speak up for her.
I have many reasons for my attitude towards her.
I am the eldest son of the Lu Family, and I have people I want to protect.
It used to be you, Xiaoyue, Qingtian, and grandfather.
Now, Nanxi is includedâ¦â
Lu Yinchu took a deep breath.
Every time he mentioned his deceased sister, his heart constricted, causing him pain!
âMom, this time, please listen to me.
Believe me, it wonât be long before I will bring Nanxi back to the Lu Family openly and proudly, proclaiming to the world that our family has welcomed a daughter-in-law!
But for now, I have my own plans!â
After Xia Zhen listened, she sighed.
Her son had endured so much over the years, and deep down, she knew he harbored pains only he knew.
Regardless, past pains are hard to speak of.
Bringing them up again only brings more pain and no good result.
Xia Zhen wiped her tears and took a deep breath, âI know, youâve always been a very careful person, and Iâve always trusted your judgement.
However, this matter will need to be discussed sooner or later.
Yinchu, I really donât care about the grievances Iâve suffered.
As for what she would say about Nanxi, I will never let her do as she pleases.
After all, Iâm her elder and with your grandfather here, she wouldnât dare to act too recklessly!â
âI genuinely like Nanxi, and treat her like my own daughter, cherishing her.
My concern for her is just as much as yours, and of course I canât let others bully herâ¦
And our Lu family is well-respected, your grandfather, your father, and you, are all people of status.
Constantly hiding Nanxi isnât a good look for the Liang Family.
If Nanxiâs uncle and her grandmother get the wrong ideaâ¦â
âMomâ¦â Lu Yinchu cut her off again, âMom, donât worry, Iâll handle things with the Liang Family.
And everything else you mentioned, I already know.
But I have my own plans.
For now, please just listen to me and donât tell our cousin and her family about Nanxiâ¦â
After listening, Xia Zhen frowned slightly.
She understood all of Lu Yinchuâs concerns, but in her opinion, these were not very big issues.
She is wise and quickly thought of something, and hurriedly asked, âYinchu, are youâ¦
are you keeping something from me?
Ever since your sister passed away, youâve been acting differently towards your cousinâs wife, whatâs going on, are youâ¦â
âMomâ¦â Lu Yinchu took a deep breath.
The knuckles of his hand gripping the phone tightened.
After adjusting his breath, he said, âMom, your son thinks everything youâve been through, isnât worth it!â
His words caused Xia Zhen to burst into tears; her stifled sobs could be heard over the phoneâ¦
