Chapter 281 Clear Yourself

Big brother?

Aunt Yang calls him Big Brother, and that means Xu Zhengnan’s father’s older brother, and the eldest son of the Xu family.

I specifically looked up the Xu family's information. The eldest son of the Xu family is called Xu Xiangdong, and he has two daughters.

If he had a son, Grandpa Xu probably wouldn't be so anxious for Xu Zhengnan to come back and take over the family business.

Rich people are always afraid that their property will fall into the hands of outsiders. Traditional concepts hold that girls are meant to be married off and are not suitable to inherit too much property.

Xu Xiangdong looks a lot like Xu Zhengnan's father, but his facial features are more serious. He looked at us coldly, "What are you doing here? Also, I'm not your eldest brother, please don't claim to be your relative casually."

This attitude, this tone, these words, make people feel Alexander.

No wonder Aunt Yang would rather hide from the Xu family than face them.

"Hello, Uncle Xu, I'm Li Yue. I heard that Grandpa Xu was sick, so I made some food and sent it over—" I plucked up the courage to introduce myself and explain my purpose.

Before I could finish my words, Xu Xiangdong saw the insulated box in the servant's hand. He walked over, picked up the insulated box and threw it on the ground.

The violent beating caused the lid of the thermal box to loosen and the food inside fell out.

Aunt Yang saw this scene and I don't know where she got the courage to defend me, "Brother, aren't you going too far? You treated me like this before, but it's okay because I was cowardly and didn't dare to face you. What did Xiaoyue do wrong? She made the food herself to nourish Zhengnan's grandfather. How can you be so unreasonable and throw away the thermal insulation box?"

Xu Xiangdong didn't care about what Aunt Yang said. He replied casually, "We in the Xu family don't lack chefs, let alone nutritionists. Please don't stay at my door if you have no other concerns."

After saying that, he opened the door and walked in, not even wanting to look at us.

Aunt Yang was so angry that she burst into tears. I wiped her tears in a panic and finally helped her back to the car.

She told me, "Xiaoyue, don't tell Zhengnan about this. I'm afraid he will be angry again."

"I know, Aunt Yang, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you to accompany me here." I regretted my decision today. I thought that if I could face the indifference and humiliation of the Xu family, Aunt Yang could definitely do it as well.

I didn't take her feelings into consideration.

Aunt Yang wiped her tears and said, "It's not your fault. All these years have passed. Apart from the first time I went to the Xu family, Zhengnan's father took me in once. After that, I never went to the Xu family again."

I was stunned. Aunt Yang had only been to the Xu family’s old house once?

Did the Xu family treat her too harshly?

"Aunt Yang, don't be sad. I will bring you into the Xu family openly in the future!" I promised solemnly.

Aunt Yang looked at me in surprise, "Really?"

"Really." I will definitely marry Xu Zhengnan and become his legitimate wife. If I can enter the Xu family, I will acknowledge Aunt Yang's identity.

When I thought about it this way, I didn’t feel scared at all. Instead, I became eager to try and regarded the unknown as a challenge.

——

The next day, it was time for me to go for my prenatal check-up.

No matter how busy Xu Zhengnan is, he will always stay with me.

After a series of examinations, the doctor prescribed some nutrients and Xu Zhengnan went to get the medicine for me.

I was waiting for him at the main entrance on the first floor, thinking about what to eat next.

Suddenly, a figure passed by me and stopped.

"Sister Li Yue?" I thought I had heard it wrong. I turned around in disbelief, and when I met Lu Xiaoyun's smiling eyes, I couldn't help but be shocked.

She returned home?

Next to her was a woman who was probably in her forties or fifties, carrying her bag and supporting her with one hand.

She was pregnant with twins and got pregnant earlier than me. Her belly was more obvious than mine. She touched her belly deliberately with a sweet smile on her face. "What a coincidence. I came back for something. I didn't expect to meet you."

"Lu Xiaoyun, you are quite brave." I smiled and looked at her indifferently.

"I have always been timid, Sister Li Yue, you misunderstood me." Lu Xiaoyun sighed, "The medical level in Country M is not as good as that in China. Yi Xiao thinks I should come back to take care of the baby. In case anything happens, I can ensure the safety of the child. He cares too much about me and the child. Sometimes I feel very troubled. Sister Li Yue, how did you deal with this kind of trouble in the past?"

She looked innocent, as if she was sincerely asking me for advice.

She harmed Jiang Fang like that, and when she was in Country M, she tried to poison me and ended up killing an innocent cleaning lady. Now that she's back in China, isn't she afraid of legal sanctions?

"I don't have such troubles. But for you, returning home is not a smart move." I looked at the time. Xu Zhengnan should be back soon.

Lu Xiaoyun asked me innocently, "Why can't I return to China? Is it dangerous? Is it because of Jiang Fang's matter?"

Jiang Fang now hates her and Shen Yixiao to the core, but it's a pity that they are abroad and it's difficult to hold them accountable. Now that she is back, Jiang Fang will definitely not let her go.

Isn't this a question that you already know the answer to?

She shrugged, "I didn't do anything. I heard that Jiang Fang was injured and my uncle passed away. I was actually very sad. I will go to visit them, don't worry."

"Aren't you afraid of retribution?" I asked with disgust, looking at the face that had been pretending to be innocent.

"I didn't do anything wrong, why should I be afraid of retribution? Sister Li Yue, those things were done by Brother Meng Zicheng. Even Yi Xiao didn't know about it and was deceived by him. Brother Zicheng is going to come back and turn himself in. Woo woo woo..." Lu Xiaoyun pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes.

I frowned. Did Meng Zicheng do this?

Meng Zicheng was indeed involved, but I believe the mastermind was Shen Yixiao.

From what Lu Xiaoyun said, it seemed that Meng Zicheng was ready to bear all the consequences and let Shen Yixiao get away.

With Meng Zicheng's character, he could do it. Anyway, it wasn't the first time he took the blame for Shen Yixiao.

If he could see Lu Xiaoyun's expression at this moment, he would definitely be heartbroken. This woman didn't feel sorry for him or be grateful to him at all. Instead, she was complacent about having someone to take the blame for herself and Shen Yixiao, and she was using this as a tool to piss me off to death.

"When brother Zicheng admits his mistake, Yixiao will come back to accompany me. Sister Liyue, Yixiao and I held our engagement party in Country M. I regret not inviting you to attend. You must come to our wedding party." Lu Xiaoyun stroked her black and smooth hair, with a smile on her face.

As soon as she finished speaking, she received a call from Shen Yixiao.

“Yixiao, guess who I’m talking to now?” Lu Xiaoyun deliberately asked Shen Yixiao while looking at me.

"I don't know, who?" Shen Yixiao asked, cooperating with her patiently.

"Your ex-wife." Lu Xiaoyun snorted, "She just said that if I return to China, I will die. I'm so scared. Come back quickly to protect me!"

There was no sound from Shen Yixiao.
