Nangong Xuan’s face darkened upon hearing, "He’s just an old man with no power in his hands. He’s certainly not a match for my second uncle."
"Precisely because of this, he feels he has no ability to protect you, and that’s why he’d rather leave you here with than let you go back."
Nangong Xuan fell silent.
At this mont, Lu Xinyun, who had been silent, spoke up but directed her words at Lu Jincheng: "Lu Jincheng, you knew about this from the start, didn’t you?"
Lu Jincheng turned his face sideways and nodded, "Any problem?"
"..." Faced with this situation, Lu Xinyun lost her temper.
So, just because she gained weight from overeating, they all kept this from her to try to help her lose weight?
Lu Xinyun felt there is no other heiress in the world as desperately tragic as her - just to lose weight, the entire family mobilizes to hide things from her.
Xiao Qing couldn’t afford to attend to Lu Xinyun’s emotions now, because she had to keep Nangong Xuan here, as she promised Nangong Li.
"Xuan, just work here at ease. Once your father’s issues are sorted out, you can go back. He told it won’t be long."
Nangong Xuan didn’t imdiately respond to her words, pondered for a mont, but ultimately shook his head, "Sorry, President Xiao, I feel I must go back."
Xiao Qing was quite worried and wanted to persuade him, but then Lu Jinyang said: "Kid, it’s not a bad thought, but do you have the ability for it?"
"President Lu, abilities are not innate."
"Good! Just for saying this, I’ve decided to forcibly ntor you," Lu Jinyang said.
Lu Jincheng and Xiao Qing raised their eyebrows to varying degrees, since when did Lu Jinyang beco so ddleso? For years, besides personally ntoring Lu Jincheng, he’s even disdained Shuang’er. Now he’s actually offering to ntor Nangong Xuan?
But Nangong Xuan didn’t know the reason behind it, so he refused, saying: "Thank you for your kindness, President Lu. My father is in difficulty, and I must return imdiately. If during this ti I realize any shortcomings, I will certainly co to receive your guidance."
"Good! You’ve said it, Nangong Xuan. Surviving when you were three was your fate, but if you can co back alive now depends solely on your fists and brains."
Nangong Xuan said nothing and left.
Xiao Qing playfully poked Lu Jinyang, "You’re terrible, being so childish despite being so grown-up. Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at if word gets out?"
Saying this, she poked his chest several tis, and seeing he didn’t resist at all, she simply stopped.
She looked toward the entrance and sighed, "I wonder if the kid will be able to adapt to the scheming lifestyle of his father."
Lu Jincheng glanced at the two of them, stood up, and went upstairs.
Lu Xinyun, on the other hand, looked blankly in the direction where Nangong Xuan had disappeared.
Just now they had barely learned each other’s identities, and now they imdiately parted ways. It seems they hardly said anything, yet it feels like saying anything would be unnecessary.
That night, Lu Xinyun hid under the covers chatting with Leng Shuangshuang, telling her little details of her interactions with Nangong Xuan over these days, and finally revealing Nangong Xuan’s identity to her.
On the other end of the phone, Leng Shuangshuang’s mouth twitched severely, "Your parents plotted against you and your brother Xuan?"
Lu Xinyun was quite lancholic, "Exactly."
"So what about you and Nangong Xuan? How did you react?"
"What’s there to react to? We didn’t get a chance to say anything before he left."
