Chapter 146 How did you know I was busy pursuing my wife?
After the message was sent, it seemed to sink without a trace, and no one replied for a long time. Guan Junhao assumed that Lu Yunchen was busy with something else and didn't pay much attention to it, until... Lu Yunchen sent him a photo.
In the photo, his friend Lu Yunchen is smiling very gently, with even smile lines on his face. Next to him sits a woman, whom he knows very well because she often comes to their company to discuss business. It is Li Manrong!
It's so late, why are these two eating hot pot together?
Look at the very front of the photo; there are fish slices and fatty beef—it looks like a feast.
His heart was broken...
He didn't get a reply to his message for a long time, and he assumed Lu Yunchen was busy, but... he was indeed busy, but his busyness... was different from what he understood as busyness...
Before Guan Junhao could completely break down, Lu Yunchen sent him another message, the content of which showed no regard for the lives of others.
Lu Yunchen: Oh, how did you know I was busy pursuing my wife?
Lu Yunchen: You're quite smart.
Guan Junhao remained silent for a long time, having nothing to say. Finally, he sent him six dots and ended the conversation directly.
Some people, you'll have to block them sooner or later!
As Lu Yunchen was sending a message, Lu Yining happened to pass by behind him. Seeing him constantly typing on his phone, she became curious and secretly peeked at him.
After seeing the words on the phone, Lu Yining pouted and started complaining again.
He wouldn't dare utter a sound when we were face to face, but the moment he turned around, he told everyone he was chasing after his wife. This guy is such a closet pervert...
Lu Yunchen turned around in a panic, only to meet a pair of eyes filled with disdain.
Lu Yunchen: "..."
Why are you standing so close?
Lu Yining remained composed, showing no embarrassment whatsoever. She straightened up and said, "Oh, I just want to see how people who are two-faced chat."
Lu Yunchen: "..."
Damn it! This conversation is going nowhere!
Destroy it!
……
For the next week, Lu Yunchen was busy with various tasks and went home less often. Most of the time, he would take his clothes back to the company and treat it as his second home, sleeping there instead.
After confirming that Lu Yunchen's ordeal was over and that the Lu family's impending bankruptcy had been reversed, Lu Yining stopped worrying about family matters.
What she was thinking was:
Now that my brother knows Fang Rou's true colors, he definitely won't believe any more of her lies. With his reason restored, the Qin family's intellect is no match for him.
This time, it's not the Lu family that should go bankrupt, but the Qin family.
From then on, she and Lu Yunjie stayed home and focused on reading the script, occasionally rehearsing their lines.
On Sunday, the Lu family finally had their once-a-month family gathering.
Those at home didn't need to make many preparations, but Lu Yunchen, Lu Shiwen, and Lu Yubai got up early in the morning to start making various preparations.
Oh, I forgot Lu Yunjie, who also has to get up early to pick up his boyfriend.
Of all the children in the Lu family, only Lu Yining slept in comfortably, not getting up until almost eleven o'clock.
After washing up and changing her clothes, she went downstairs and spent more than ten minutes walking to the living room. By then, the room was already packed with people. Her eldest brother's future wife, Li Manrong, and her third brother's wife, Fu Yaxuan, were already sitting there, while her second brother, Lu Shiwen, and her fourth brother, Lu Yubai, had also returned home.
"Hey, my little piggy's up already?" Lu Yunjie teased Lu Yining after seeing her.
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Lu, who had always been extremely protective of his granddaughter, immediately became furious and glared at her.
"How dare you talk to your sister like that? You look more like a pig to me."
Lu Yunjie leaned against Fu Yaxuan beside him, looking aggrieved, and said, "They all bully me~"
He thought Fu Yaxuan would defend him, but instead he casually said, "Serves you right."
Fu Yaxuan frowned, then glanced at Lu Yunjie, who was lying on top of him, and said with disapproval, "Ningning is just a little girl, how could you say that to her? What if she gets traumatized by those words? You're so outspoken."
“Exactly.” Lu Yunchen didn’t help him and chimed in.
Although Fifth Sister can be quite annoying sometimes, no matter how annoying she is, you can't compare such a cute little sister to a pig!
This third brother really needs a good education.
Lu Yunjie: "..."
He thought that Fifth Sister had a big head and her thoughts were very clever and quirky. She really didn't seem like the kind of person who would become withdrawn just because she was compared to a pig!
Besides, pigs are adorable creatures!
He was indirectly saying that Fifth Sister is cute! Waaah, he's been so wronged!
"Ningning, ignore him, come here to your fourth brother, your fourth brother has a gift for you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yining walked over to Lu Yubai and sat down beside him.
She cupped her hands in her hands, looked at Lu Yubai obediently, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Thank you."
This action left Lu Yubai somewhat amused and exasperated. When it came to gifts, Fifth Sister was always so enthusiastic and proactive.
He reached to his left, picked up a rather high-quality gift box, and handed it to Lu Yining, smiling gently at her: "Open it and take a look."
[Phew~ Looking at this gift box, it probably isn't filled with practice problems or anything, thank goodness. To be honest, I was a little scared just now, afraid that my fourth brother might have a sudden urge and give me a bunch of practice problems as a gift to do.]
Lu Yubai: "..."
He's really not that kind of person!
Although... although he did have this idea at first, it was later completely rejected by his third brother, and he never had this idea again...
Taking the gift box, Lu Yining used a little force to open it. Inside lay a hairpin, its surface a purplish hue, translucent and shaped like bamboo. Lu Yining immediately took a liking to it.
She said sweetly, "Thank you, Fourth Brother."
Lu Yubai smiled mysteriously: "Don't thank me yet, take a closer look at this hairpin."
Lu Yining: "?"
Fourth Brother's smile... is not simple, not simple at all.
Thinking of this, Lu Yining looked at the hairpin in her hand again. As soon as she looked, she realized that the hairpin was indeed a bit unusual.
At the very top of the hairpin, where the tassels of branches and leaves were attached, there was a button hidden. Lu Yining glanced at Lu Yubai, and after receiving an encouraging look from him, she twitched her finger and pressed the button.
The next second, a sharp blade popped out from the top of the bamboo hairpin, so sharp that it could be described as an excellent item for self-defense and protection against thieves.
"Wow, Fourth Brother, where did you find such a hairpin?"
