The Maybach slowly drove into the side courtyard of the Lu Family’s old house. Lu Jinghan got out of the car, holding Han Xi’s small hand as they walked towards the house.
Han Xi was dressed quite formally today. Her black skinny pants were slightly rolled up to reveal her fair ankles, and over her white chiffon shirt, she wore a brown long and loose trench coat. She was wearing a pair of high heels, and her seaweed-like long hair cascaded over her shoulders. With her delicate features lightly made up, she looked grand yet gentle.
The butler at the door saw that Lu Jinghan had returned and quickly greeted them warmly, "Young Master and Young Madam are back."
"Uncle Li." Lu Jinghan said with a smile on his lips.
Han Xi also nodded politely at Uncle Li, which was considered a greeting.
As they walked into the villa, the household staff helped Lu Jinghan and Han Xi change into slippers. Old Master Lu happily rose from the sofa, "Xiao Xi, come over to Grandpa quickly."
Han Xi changed her shoes and walked into the living room, smiling as she greeted, "Hello, Grandpa."
Since she had previously interacted with Old Master Lu, Han Xi did not feel any restraint at all.
Old Master Lu nodded cheerfully and pulled Han Xi to sit beside him, "Grandpa just knew that this brat would eventually bring you home. In the future, if he ever bullies you, just come and complain to me. I’ll definitely break his leg."
Lu Jinghan helped Han Xi take off her coat, then spoke leisurely, "Rest assured, there will definitely be no chance for you to break my leg."
"That’s the best." After saying that, Old Master Lu looked at Lu Qing An and Ji Qing who were sitting by the side, "Xiao Xi, these are your second uncle and aunt."
Although Han Xi didn’t have a good impression of them, thinking that they would be family in the future, she still greeted them politely, "Hello, second uncle and aunt."
Lu Qing An and Ji Qing responded with smiling faces, as if the previous unpleasantness had never happened.
Old Master Lu looked at Lu Jingchen and Lu Jingwei, his voice not as affectionate as it was towards Lu Jinghan, "Hurry and greet your honorable sister-in-law."
This pair of siblings only knew to eat, drink, play, and stir up trouble all day long, so Old Master Lu couldn’t really care for them affectionately.
Lu Jingchen had previously done such things to Han Xi and even got beaten up, ending up with a fracture and being held in a police station. Now he was asked to call Han Xi his sister-in-law; how could he get the words out?
Moreover, he still hadn’t given up on Han Xi. Such a stunning beauty that he couldn’t get his hands on—how could he not keep thinking about her?
Isn’t there a saying, the grass is always greener on the other side?
Lu Jinghan’s gaze was as cold as if it were wrapped in ice shards as it swept over, making Lu Jingchen shiver unconsciously. He hesitated for a few seconds but eventually spoke, "Sister-in-law."
Lu Jingwei also sensibly followed with, "Hello, sister-in-law."
Han Xi did not respond, merely nodded coldly, thinking of the things Lu Jingchen had done to her—she truly couldn’t be magnanimous.
During the meal, Lu Jingchen sat directly across from Han Xi, his gaze frequently and intentionally falling on her, making Han Xi feel very uncomfortable.
Everyone chatted while eating, when suddenly, there was a loud "clap" as Lu Jinghan slammed his chopsticks onto the table. His chilling voice abruptly echoed through the entire dining room, "Lu Jingchen, are you looking for death?"
Everyone at the table was stunned, not knowing why Lu Jinghan suddenly lost his temper .
The servants stood by trembling, not daring to breathe too loudly.
Although Lu Jinghan didn’t live at the old house, the powerful aura he carried was undeniable. Moreover, the power of the Lu Group had always been in Lu Jinghan’s hands. To put it bluntly, Lu Qing An’s entire family had to watch his mood.
