Han Xi nodded, her fingers unknowingly rubbing the edges of the book, thinking that if Han Siyu hadn’t been behind her, her Little Bun might have been lost just like that.
Lu Jinghan glanced sideways at the girl who was spacing out: "What are you thinking about?"
"Just now when Zhang Min rushed over and bumped into me, thankfully my sister was there, otherwise I would have fallen straight to the ground."
Lu Jinghan’s gaze darkened as he looked ahead, Zhang Min was indeed thinking herself too comfortable right now, always finding ways every now and then to challenge Lu Jinghan’s limits.
"I will make sure both you and Little Bun are vindicated."
Han Xi nodded, this Zhang Min dared to harm even a child not yet born, definitely needed to be taught a lesson.
The two returned home, and Lu Jinghan, seeing Han Xi asleep on the bed, adjusted her blanket carefully before heading to the study.
Sitting at the desk handling some emails, his phone rang from the pocket of his pants; he leaned to one side to take out the phone and pressed the answer button.
"Jinghan, the Zhong Li you just asked me to investigate is indeed your little sister-in-law’s sister, Han Siyu. She had plastic surgery in the United States and also changed the name on her ID. She is now living in Xinyuan District, and I’ve also found her cellphone number."
"Got it, send me the number shortly."
After hanging up, Lu Jinghan picked up the cigarette box on the desk, drew out a cigarette, tilted it slightly, and lit it, with white smoke escaping from the corner of his mouth.
The phone on the desk buzzed, and Lu Jinghan raised his hand to unlock the screen, showing Feng Yi’s sent string of numbers.
He dialed the number, and it rang for a while before it was answered: "Hello, how can I help you?"
"This is Lu Jinghan."
On the other end, Zhong Li hesitated while holding the phone: "Hello President Lu, is there something you need from me?"
"Han Siyu, ever since Xiao Xi saw you from the hospital, she wants to see you. When will you be free?"
"President Lu, you’ve really got it wrong, I’m not your wife’s sister in any way."
Zhong Li firmly denied, not that she didn’t want to acknowledge Han Xi, just that she hadn’t forgiven herself for past mistakes and couldn’t face Han Xi.
Lu Jinghan leaned forward and flicked cigarette ash into the ashtray: "If you feel indebted to Xiao Xi, then you should acknowledge your identity and properly make up to that girl. Denying repeatedly will only make her uneasy."
Zhong Li stood by the office’s floor-to-ceiling window, leaning forward to watch the cars and people outside, her clear eyes showing confusion and struggle, hesitated for a few seconds before speaking: "After work tonight, come over for dinner, I’ll prepare some dishes Xiao Xi likes."
"Alright, that child can’t eat too much greasy food now, keep it light."
After hanging up, Lu Jinghan crushed the cigarette in the ashtray, glanced at the watch on his wrist, and went to the bedroom.
Han Xi had just woken up, she turned to look at Lu Jinghan sitting by the bed, reached out and hugged his slender waist: "Did Feng Yi find out where my sister lives?"
"I just called her, she said we should go over to her place for dinner tonight."
"Really, she finally admitted to being my sister."
Han Xi’s eyes smiled happily as she sat up from the bed, her heart filled with joy.
Lu Jinghan ruffled the girl’s slightly messy hair and lovingly kissed her lips: "Let’s go downstairs for lunch first, and then drive over there later tonight."
Han Xi obediently nodded, lifted the blanket and got out of bed.
