Chapter 624: Chapter 417: Nanxi’s Identity, Can’t Be Hidden Anymore_1

On the morning of September 6th, Lu Yinchu received a call from Xia Zhen. Xia Zhen said that Lu Wenming had set off to return to H City and would probably arrive around four in the afternoon. She asked him to send a car to pick him up!

Lu Yinchu agreed and Xia Zhen didn’t hang up immediately. Lu Yinchu frowned, knowing his mother wanted to talk about something!

Xia Zhen said, “Yinchu, I’ve been to see Qi Qun these past few days, asking about Xiaoyue’s car accident years ago…”

Lu Yinchu furrowed his brows and remained silent.

Xia Zhen continued, “Of course, she denies everything, but judging from her expression, I know something is amiss! I’ve had someone look into the cause of the car accident, there were no irregularities, it indeed seems like an accident! So Yinchu, I don’t know… I don’t know where the problem lies? Who should I ask if you won’t tell me? Who else can I ask? I really don’t know anymore…”

“Mom…” Lu Yinchu’s eyes trembled slightly, his fingers tightened around the phone!

“Yinchu, listen to me. No matter how much I ask, I know you won’t tell me. I won’t push you. After all, Xiaoyue has been gone for eight years. If I could bring Xiaoyue back by confronting Qi Qun, I would definitely do it, but it can’t be done. Once she is gone, she is gone, no matter how much I fuss, she’s still gone!”

“All I want now is for you and Qingtian to be okay and stay by my side. I wish your father to be safe, your grandfather to be healthy, for you and Nanxi to lead a happy and fulfilling life, and to have a child in the future… I ask for nothing more, I don’t dare to. Xiaoyue’s departure has shattered my heart. The only thing that has sustained me these many years is my guilt towards you, Qingtian, your father, and the Lu family… otherwise, I would have joined Xiaoyue a long time ago!”

Xia Zhen’s voice had a crying tone, “Really, Yinchu, I don’t want to provoke Qi Qun anymore, nor do I want to provoke anyone else! I just wish for peace in the Lu family, for the younger generation to live in peace! So if you don’t want to tell me about this, never tell me, and don’t tell your father or grandfather either!”

“You know, your father is not a patient person. If he found out, it would create chaos in both the Lu and Li families. Your grandfather is old and cannot be agitated! At the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, you come back with Nanxi and let our family celebrate it properly. As long as you all are okay, I will be content!”

Lu Yinchu didn’t say anything, his lashes quivered, and when he hung up the phone, his eyes were red, but he didn’t let the tears fall!

…

At noon, Nanxi was summoned to KING Group by Lu Yinchu’s phone call. Lu Yinchu told her that he would pick up Lu Wenming in the afternoon, and her presence would make him very happy!

Nanxi also felt that she should take this opportunity to spend more time with her father-in-law, as the chances to meet him were too few. She admired him in her heart!

In the office, Lu Yinchu was working, and Nanxi was reading the news on her tablet.

After working for an unknown amount of time, Nanxi glanced at Lu Yinchu only to see him sitting in his chair, rubbing his brows, looking tired.

Nanxi felt a pang of sympathy. There was no one else in the office now, so she boldly went to him!

…

Since the call from his mother, Lu Yinchu felt unusually exhausted. His mother’s magnanimity and sense of propriety, for the sake of harmony between the Lu and Li families, made her ignore the grudges and resentment she held deep inside herself!

He understood her feelings very well!

In fact, that’s how he has been dealing with things all these years.

Often, when no one in the family could see, he was very rude to Qi Qun, using threats!

Qi Qun was naturally uneasy. If it weren’t for her, Xiaoyue might not have died, so she was afraid of Lu Yinchu. But this fear could not hide her arrogance and dominance because she knew too well that Lu Yinchu would not reveal the truth.

Qi Qun knew that she wasn’t a good person, she hardly ever did anything truly good in her life. She had been cocky for so many years and it was challenging for her to restrain herself! In fact, she didn’t know how to restrain herself at all!

The Mid-Autumn Festival was fast approaching, a day for family reunions. But his family had become incomplete eight years ago and would never be complete again.

What he worried about was that at this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival, because of his grandfather’s presence, the Lu and Li families would undoubtedly gather together. His wife Nanxi’s identity would be impossible to hide!

Dealing with Li Xiangchen and his two nieces Li Mufang and Li Muyun could be easy, but Qi Qun…

Although Li Weihuan managed to temporarily hold off Qi Qun, it was only temporary. Li Weihuan may not even be sure how long he can stall. How could Lu Yinchu rely on someone else’s efforts in order to protect his own wife?!

It’s time to lay everything out in the open. It can’t be delayed any longer!

A pair of soft hands suddenly landed on his shoulder, his body shivered, then he heard a woman’s soft and sweet voice, “Stay still, let me give you a massage…”

Lu Yinchu’s eyes flickered, and he stayed still as requested. Nanxi’s massage techniques were quite skilled.

Back when they were in Hong Kong, she often massaged Gu Xuehong’s back and shoulders. He knew about this!

Now in H City, she often massages her grandmother, so she wasn’t unfamiliar with it!

“Lu Yinchu, you once told me that you have a lot of money, and that money comes in every second of every day, right?”

“Hmm…” Lu Yinchu replied, closing his eyes to rest while the young woman massage him!

“But why do you work so hard every day despite having so much money, never taking a break, not even having time to enjoy life. Do you think it’s worth it?”

“I don’t know!” Lu Yinchu’s lips moved slightly as if he was sighing with fatigue, “According to what you’re saying, it seems unworthy!”

“Yes, I think so too!” Nanxi paused, then continued, “Actually, whether we are rich or not, powerful or not, we still live our lives the same way. We hustle every day to make a living, and strive for our families and ourselves. If you think about it, rich people stand higher and see further, but they may not necessarily be entirely at ease. Poor people may not see far, but it doesn’t mean they don’t live comfortably! For example, you, before I knew you, I felt you were unreachable. Now, so close to you, I feel heartache, I feel sad…so don’t you think humans are strange?”

The man chuckled, his thin lips curved into an attractive shape. He opened his eyes, the deep black depth of his eyes like a calm sea, making one want to throw themselves in, even if it meant they might drown!

He relaxed his legs, pulling Nanxi in front of him to sit on his lap, she didn’t resist!

Lu Yinchu looked at her, his hand caressing her face inch by inch, a smile deep in his eyes.

The two of them, looking at each other with such intensity, Nanxi didn’t know what was hidden in those eyes. All she knew was that her entire heart, her whole being, felt intoxicated!noveldrama

Then, Lu Yinchu began to speak, his voice soft as if soaked in water.

[Transition chapter. The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and everyone is going to gather together. How will our Mr. Lu deal with Qi Qun? Any guesses?]
