The next day, at breakfast, Lu Yinchu and Nanxi sat at the dining table, both very silent.
Only when their grandfather asked questions would they occasionally respond. Fortunately, Lu Qingtian was around to entertain their grandfather, preventing the atmosphere at the table from becoming too awkward!
Later, Lu Yinchu received a phone call, it seemed there was an issue at the company. He left in a hurry without finishing his breakfast. As he left, he glanced at Nanxi and said, "I’ll pick you up from work in the afternoon!"
Nanxi responded faintly with a "Hmm," and said nothing else.
Uncle Zhang sent Lu Qingtian to school. As they were running late, he dropped Nanxi off on the way and she took a cab to the Magazine Agency.
When getting out of the car, Lu Qingtian followed Nanxi and held her hand saying, "Sister-in-law, wait a moment, I have something to tell you!"
"What’s the matter?" Nanxi asked in surprise.
"Oh!" Lu Qingtian pouted, "It’s , Sister-in-law, I wanted to ask if you and my brother had a disagreement?"
Nanxi was taken aback, "Why would you ask that?"
"Humph, don’t think I didn’t notice. At breakfast, you and my brother didn’t exchange a single word, both your expressions as cold as ice. I’m smart, so I know something must have happened! Furthermore, to cover for you both, I kept chatting with grandpa and mom, nearly revealing an old incident about my messed up monthly test from last semester. How caring and thoughtful I am~"
Scrunching his brow, Lu Qingtian pouted, "Sister-in-law, fact is, I may sometimes bad-mouth my brother in front of you, but I truly think he is a really good person. I can tell he truly cares about you. You have no idea how cold he used to be. Even when he smiled, it didn’t reach his eyes, and it was so fake that it was scary!"
"That’s not the case anymore. Now, he often smiles; truly joyful smiles. And the one who makes him smile is you, sister-in-law! You are really important to my brother and not only that, you are truly important to our whole family. So, no matter how he has upset you, please don’t be angry at him for the sake of me, my grandparents, and my parents. When you are angry at him, he stops smiling. When he isn’t smiling, it makes me sad. So, I beg you, sister-in-law, can you please forgive my brother?"
Nanxi hadn’t expected that the usually carefree and naive Lu Qingtian would say such words. She was overwhelmed by a mix of emotions!
She suddenly remembered what Lu Yinchu had once told her about how he educated Lu Qingtian.
There was discipline, criticism, praise, timely guidance, and correction!
Lu Qingtian was really lucky to have a brother like that!
When Lu Yinchu got out of the car, Mo Yan was anxiously waiting at the company entrance!
Seeing Lu Yinchu’s car, he hurriedly went over and yelled, "President Lu..."
Lu Yinchu replied and asked, "What’s the situation now?"
Mo Yan replied, "A drunken man ran amok. Multiple security guards failed to stop him. Thankfully, Xia Yu was skilled and subdued him in no time. Considering the specifics of the incident, we did not call the police. He is now detained in the security room!"
"Did you notify Shaojing?"
"President Han is in a meeting, I contacted the secretary’s office, they said they can notify him once the meeting is over!"
Lu Yinchu nodded and got out of the car, "I’ll go take a look!"
"Wait!" Mo Yan bit his lip, then said, "Just now, Ni Xuexue arrived, she’s also in the security room!"
In the security room.
Ni Xuexue sighed as she looked at the dazed middle-aged man sitting on the bench, "Uncle, what in the world have you been doing? Look at your face, it’s injured. Luckily, it’s not serious. What if it had been a severe injury, what would Han Qing do?"
Han Wengang glanced sideways at Ni Xuexue, "None of your business, get out!"
Taken aback, Ni Xuexue took a step back, "Oh, Uncle, what are you doing? Don’t you recognize me? I’m your daughter’s friend, my name is Ni Xuexue, I even bought you alcohol once. Have you forgotten?"
"My daughter’s friend? Daughter?" Han Wengang finally showed a stirring in his eyes, quickly standing up, "Yes, I came to find my daughter... My daughter Qing... Qing... where is Qing? Where is my daughter Qing? Where is Qing?"
