Xu Qian just came down from the second floor at this moment, and immediately spotted Yu Xia sitting together with Lu Tianming. She halted abruptly and just stood at the top of the stairs without coming down.
Lu Tianming had already told her that Yu Xia and Elder Yu were going to come over, but she hadn’t expected them to arrive so soon.
Thinking about how her son’s supposed fiancée was still lying in the bedroom upstairs, Xu Qian suddenly felt a headache coming on. What on earth is all this about?
"Auntie Lu..." Yu Xia, who first noticed Xu Qian standing by the staircase, stood up obediently and greeted her.
All eyes turned towards Xu Qian, even Yu Xia’s parents nodded and greeted her respectfully, but only Lu Tianming looked at Xu Qian with an indistinct, troubled expression, yet he didn’t speak.
Xu Qian came down from the upstairs, tugged at the corners of her mouth to put on a gentle smile, her voice warm and pleasant, "You’ve arrived, please have a seat here for a moment, we will be having dinner shortly."
For the moment, she didn’t know what to say. Today everyone seemed to rush here, whereas normally nobody visits. How fond Yu Xia’s parents must be of her son, wishing for Jingchen and Yu Xia to marry, they knew it all too well.
After all, she had been very fond of Yu Xia as a daughter-in-law initially. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on NovelHub(.)net
Unfortunately, over the years, she hadn’t seen even a spark between her son and the girl Yu Xia, whereas now her son had brought home another woman, and even said they were already married.
It’s not that she didn’t like Song Qiao. Xu Qian actually quite liked the girl who made a good first impression on her - there aren’t many girls who had such effect on the first meet, but ultimately she hadn’t gotten to know her well and didn’t truly know what kind of person she was. If she had to compare directly, she still preferred Yu Xia, who she almost watched grow up.
"Auntie Lu." After speaking a sentence to Lu’s elderly father and getting a nod from him, Yu Xia stood up and walked directly to Xu Qian, always smiling, and immediately asked, "Is Jingchen brother upstairs? Can I go up and see him now?"
She hadn’t expected Lu Jingchen to return today, what a coincidence.
That day at the hospital, this man had stood her up, she hadn’t settled the score with him yet.
And... hasn’t he told his uncle and aunt that he’s already married?
If that really is the case... Yu Xia couldn’t help but frown, debating whether to help him inform the uncle and aunt and also her own parents that their favored son-in-law has already married another woman.
Every time Yu Xia went home, she heard her father praising how good Lu Jingchen was, how responsible the man was, and how good her life would be if she married him... This made her miserable, it was practically brainwashing.
Xu Qian paused, subconsciously nodded, about to say something when Yu Xia had already turned and headed upstairs.
Xu Qian’s expression changed slightly, watching Yu Xia quickly running upstairs, her figure disappearing from sight, suddenly not sure what to do next.
Meanwhile, Lu Tianming retracted his gaze and began chatting with Yu Xia’s father.
Yu Xia’s mother also got up and came directly to Xu Qian, smiling slightly as she spoke, "Axi, it’s been a long time since we had a good chat, shall we chat together?"
Xu Qian composed herself, smiled, and responded, "Sure."
As for her son and Yu Xia’s affairs, Xu Qian had already given up on the idea of meddling.
These matters, she wouldn’t intervene, they would have to resolve it themselves.
At the door to Lu Jingchen’s room on the second floor, the man frowned slightly, his expression indifferent, showing no clear emotion, "Why are you here?"
Yu Xia looked Lu Jingchen up and down, hooked her lips slightly, and smiled, "Of course, I came to visit your family... Hey, don’t look at me like that. I was also dragged here by my old man under duress, do you think I wanted to come here? Who knew you would also return today..."
Lu Jingchen put one hand in his pocket and the other at his side, took a glance toward the direction of the stairs, and spoke lightly, "It seems the old man hasn’t given up on wanting you to become the Young Mistress of Lu Family."
