Lu Chi turned around and looked.

When did my older sister get back?

Did she hear what I just said?

Lu Sangning, with a stern face, glanced at Lu Chi and Lu Qingru in the room.

And Lu Jiyang, who ran up the stairs to pack his things.

"Don't you find it annoying to be making such a racket in the middle of the day? What kind of behavior is this! The students don't act like students, and the older sister doesn't act like an older sister either."

As expected of the eldest sister in the family, Lu Sangning manages 80 companies on behalf of Lu Yuanqing.

His stern expression while speaking gave him the air of a CEO.

Lu Chi didn't say anything, glanced at Lu Sangning, nodded, and turned to go upstairs to his room to sleep.

Lu Jiyang, who was on the stairs, had never really intended to leave the Lu family. Now that Lu Sangning had returned, he quickly came down the stairs.

She said to Lu Sangning with a wronged expression, "Big sister, this isn't my or my second sister's fault, it's all Brother Lu Chi's fault..."

Before he could finish speaking, tears welled up in Lu Jiyang's eyes.

This is his usual performance style.

Commonly known as playing the victim.

I always manage to win my sisters' sympathy by using this method.

He had used this method countless times in his past life, and it was always very effective.

However, Lu Jiyang did not receive any sympathy from his eldest sister.

Instead, an impatient shout rang out: "Enough! Can't you ever have a moment's peace in the middle of the day? Hurry up and eat your lunch and take a nap. Don't you have classes this afternoon?"

Lu Jiyang: "..." What's wrong with my older sister?

Isn't she annoyed with Lu Chi too?

Why aren't you speaking up for me?

You're yelling at me?

Grass!

Once I get my hands on the Lu family's assets, I'll make you pay!

Lu Jiyang was seething inside, but seeing Lu Sangning's serious expression, he didn't dare to say anything and obediently walked to the dining table.

He ate a few bites of cold food and leftovers.

Go upstairs and go to sleep quickly.

He didn't dare say he was going to pack his things and leave anymore. If Lu Sangning really told him to get lost with a stern face, things would get complicated.

When Lu Qingru saw Lu Jiyang go upstairs, she quickly took two steps forward.

She explained, "Big sister, this matter really isn't Ji Yang's fault. It's all that Lu Chi's fault, that country bumpkin. He has no manners, no politeness, and no class!"

Lu Sangning pulled Lu Qingru to the sofa and sat down, saying meaningfully:

“Qingru, when Lu Chi first came to our family, I also looked down on him. I always thought he was no good in this way or that way. But later, if I hadn’t heard about him… I wouldn’t have realized that Zhang Yong was a complete scumbag.”

"If I never discover Zhang Yong's true colors and marry him, firstly, I will be emotionally deceived by him, and secondly, his dirty tricks may extend to all of our family's companies, causing irreparable consequences."

So I don't dislike Lu Chi now; I'm grateful to him. Actually, many things aren't entirely as they seem. Lu Chi... everything he did might just be a form of self-protection.

I heard everything he said to you, and I actually think he made a lot of sense. We shouldn't be prejudiced against someone just because of the environment they couldn't choose.

"If the nanny hadn't stolen him, he could have grown up carefree with us."

Lu Qingru stared at Lu Sangning as if she had seen a ghost.

I don't understand why my older sister suddenly changed so much.

Wasn't she always against Lu Chi going home and also disliked Lu Chi?

Now they're actually speaking up for Lu Chi?

"Big sister, didn't you always hate him? Why are you acting strange today, even speaking up for him?"

Lu Sangning didn't answer Lu Qingru's question. Instead, she pointed to her heart and asked Lu Qingru, "Just now, Lu Chi... here, did you hear anything?"

Lu Qingru squinted her eyes.

I don't understand what the older sister is trying to say?

Lu Sangning actually wanted to ask Lu Qingru if she had heard Lu Chi's inner thoughts just now, saying that she would die far from home.

Despite the hints, Lu Qingru still couldn't figure it out.

Because Lu Qingru's attention was entirely focused on the things Lu Chi said to her, she didn't notice anything else Lu Chi said.

Lu Sangning was unable to express Lu Chi's true feelings.

Because anything involving personal feelings gets blocked out by the buzzing noise.

Lu Sangning could only point to her heart again, prompting, "Qingru, you know we can all hear Lu Chi's thoughts. Do you remember what he just said?"

Lu Qingru looked furious.

Of course I remember.

Lu Chi had been cursing her in his mind just now.

Lu Qingru cursed angrily, "Hmph, you country bumpkin, the more I think about it, the angrier I get!"

"Boss, that jerk called again!"

"Boss, that jerk called again!"

The two sisters were talking when Lu Qingru's phone suddenly rang.

Lu Qingru pressed the answer button.

It was her assistant and good friend, Li Tian, ​​who called.

"Hey, Sister Ru, come sing karaoke and soak in the hot springs! There's a surprise guest coming!"

Lu Qingru laughed and said, "Oh my, who's there? Why are you being so mysterious?"

"You'll know when you get here, Sister Ru~ I'll be waiting for you, mwah~"

"Okay, coming right away~"

After hanging up the phone, Lu Qingru said to her eldest sister, Lu Sangning:

"Big sister, I'm going out to play. Li Tian said there's a mysterious person here, but she doesn't know who it is. But she probably thinks it's someone important, otherwise she wouldn't usually talk to me like this."

Lu Qingru said goodbye, grabbed her bag, and hurriedly went out.

Lu Sangning was worried and called out from behind, "Qingru, be careful outside."
