57: Chapter 56 I will go with you to pick him up_1 57: Chapter 56 I will go with you to pick him up_1 Around 5:40, Nanxi and Lu Yinchu left the Liang Family’s Art Gallery.

As they were leaving, her uncle repeatedly reminded her to be careful not to offend this important figure.

Nanxi thought: What’s there to be afraid of?

The contract is signed.

Can Lu Yinchu still back out?

Moreover, this time was different from the last.

If the contract was breached, there would be a penalty to pay!

They walked faster on the way out than when they came in, mainly because Nanxi was trying to quicken her pace.

A journey that originally took ten minutes was completed in eight.

At the car, Nanxi said goodbye to Lu Yinchu, “Mr.

Lu, I’ll only accompany you to here!”

Lu Yinchu raised his eyebrows slightly, “Why?

Aren’t you going back to school?”

“Erm, I plan to go to my uncle’s house today!”, Nanxi lied.

Actually, she planned to take a taxi back by herself!

Lu Yinchu observed her twinkling eyes and gave her a faint smile.

He didn’t say much else.

He politely bid Nanxi farewell and she watched as his car drove away.

In the rearview mirror, the young girl’s soft, graceful face grew more and more distant, until it disappeared from his line of sight.

His gaze deepened!

He turned on his phone and sure enough, he had two missed calls, all from Chang Linsheng.

He ignored them, and called Mo Yan, “What time will you arrive in H City?”

“Around 4:30 to 5:00 in the morning,” answered Mo Yan.

“Hmm,” the man acknowledged.

“Have you informed them?”

Mo Yan nodded, “I’ve already made arrangements!”

“Good…”

He paused and looked out the window: a teenage girl in a light blue skirt walked leisurely down the street, talking on her phone as she went.

Her face wore a faint smile, and the occasional wind would brush through her long hair, making her faintly familiar.

But she wasn’t right, but then again, how could she be?

He laughed, then told Mo Yan on the other end of the phone, “Give Qiaoqiao a call, tell her she can prepare now.”

Mo Yan hesitated, then nodded, “Yes!”

…

Not even two minutes after he hung up on Mo Yan, Chang Linsheng called.

There was a hint of sigh in his voice, “You finally answer the phone!”

Lu Yinchu asked, “What’s wrong?”

Chang Linsheng laughed, “Hehe, what do you think?

Yinchu, I guess you intentionally steered that little girl Nanxi away from me.

Are you so afraid of me seeing her?”

Lu Yinchu remained silent.

Chang Linsheng continued, “Yinchu, I have to admit, before going to H University, I planned to drive her away from you.

But after seeing her, I find she is much more… transparent than I thought.

Even though she seems to not understand things, I think she just doesn’t want to.

There are too many people who pretend to be smart in this world.

But how many really understand life?

The most free and easy person is the one who is able to be humble.

So Yinchu, you don’t need to guard against me in the future.

I will truly support you this time.”

Lu Yinchu maintained a self-assured expression, whether expected or not was irrelevant to him.

Or perhaps, in his view, regardless of what others think, once he makes up his mind about something, he won’t allow the slightest change in it.

That’s right, not the slightest bit.

Lu Yinchu said, “Thanks!”

…

Nanxi returned to school mainly because Li Weihuan was returning the next morning.

It was more convenient in school, and after all, she had promised to wait for him there.

However, she also visited her uncle’s house before that.

She figured that if she did that, she technically wouldn’t be lying to Lu Yinchu!

However, she regretted it afterward.

Because Lu Yinchu had purchased her paintings that day, her uncle seemed to take this opportunity to pull her into writing a few more pieces before letting her leave!

Nanxi felt that Lu Yinchu’s strange taste caused her and her uncle to plunge into chaos!

By 8:30 in the evening, Lu Yinchu returned to the Lu Family Mansion.

His grandfather was still awake and was playing chess in the living room with his granddaughter.

As soon as Lu Yinchu entered the door, Lu Qingtian ran over to him for help:

“Big brother, it’s a good thing you’ve come back.

Grandfather is driving me to the breaking point!”

The old man coughed and angrily said, “What nonsense is this young girl talking about?

What is this about being driven to the breaking point?

In the west there is the Queen Mother.

If you can go there it would be a blessing for you!”

Lu Qingtian pouted.

What blessing?

She didn’t care for it!

Lu Yinchu laughed, picked up Lu Qingtian and moved her aside, then played two rounds of chess with his grandfather.

He won both of them.

Seeing this, Lu Qingtian was so excited that she almost clapped for her elder brother.

She thought, only her elder brother can really control their grandfather!

The old man sighed, “Why can’t you let this old man win for once?”

Lu Yinchu smiled, “Didn’t grandfather use to tell me, that chess is like a battlefield, being merciful to your enemy is being cruel to yourself.

Plus, my chess skills were taught by grandfather.

If I lose, it means either grandfather is unskilled at teaching, or I am bad at learning!”

Upon hearing this, the old man couldn’t make any retort.

After mumbling a few words, he let the servant assist him to bed.

After the old man left, Lu Qingtian pulled at her handsome elder brother with an admiring look on her face, “Brother, you’re my idol!

Can you teach me chess?

I want to beat grandfather!

Grandpa said, if I can beat him in chess, he’ll give me money to buy an iPad, and also give me a 10% increase in my monthly allowance…

Brother~~”

Lu Yinchu looked at her, “If you can get into the top ten in the next monthly exam, you don’t even need the grandpa’s money.

I’ll buy you whatever you want, and increase your allowance as well.

So, do you know what you should do now?”

Before Lu Qingtian could recover from her daze, her impressive elder brother had already gone upstairs, leaving behind his cool and handsome figure.

At 4 a.m., Lu Yinchu’s phone rang.

He looked at the number and answered.

A woman’s voice came from the other side, “Uncle, I need your help.”

Lu Yinchu glanced at the faint night sky outside the window.

After listening to the other side, a smile involuntarily pulled at the corners of his mouth.

He nodded and said softly, “Okay!”

At 4:10 a.m., Lu Yinchu, dressed in a suit, left his room.

Twenty minutes later, he was at the airport.

There was a woman waving him over.

Tight-lipped, he walked towards her.

…

At around 4:05 a.m., Nanxi woke up and couldn’t go back to sleep.

She thought, Li Weihuan is almost back.

In less than an hour, he will be so close to her, standing right in front of her; his breath, his voice, and his wild and unrestrained face.

Nanxi took a deep breath, feeling a little nervous.

At 4:15 a.m., Nanxi, unable to contain herself, got out of bed and went to the balcony to call Bai Yuchuan.

Bai Yuchuan quickly answered, “You’re awake so early?”

Nanxi replied, “I can’t go back to sleep.

Are you guys going to pick up Weihuan?”

Bai Yuchuan said, “Yes, Zhang Mu and I are preparing now.

Chenqing will meet us at the airport.

Why?”

“Well, can you take me along with you?

I can’t sleep anyway.

I’m up anyway, so why not go with you guys to pick him up?”

Bai Yuchuan paused for a moment, then replied, “Sure!”

“You pack up, in ten minutes, we’ll pick you up at the school gate.

Stay safe!”
