Chapter 486 The Problematic Baby VS The Arrogant Guy Who Loves to Ask Questions 38
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Jiang Zhiyi was still asleep when her phone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated.
She groped around sleepily, picked up her phone, unlocked the screen, and saw that it was a message from Lu Jingxun.
The message was concise and to the point, essentially saying that he had important business to attend to in the next few days and asked her not to come looking for him.
For some reason, he emphasized it twice, as if afraid he couldn't see it clearly.
Jiang Zhiyi had a gut feeling that he was hiding something from her.
Recalling the scene last night, a man came, and I didn't see any woman come to see him, so what was there that he couldn't let her see?
Did another woman come over later?
The cutest baby: [Why? I just wanted to come find you.]
The more Lu Jingxun tried to stop her from going, the less she listened.
In any case, we can't let him have his way so easily, unless... he uses his money to convince himself.
Money is everything!
Lu Jingxun replied quickly, but still sparingly.
Lu Jingxun: [Something came up.]
The cutest baby: [I don't care!]
Then came a barrage of emojis: tantrums, wailing, and furious expressions... the screen was filled with her unwillingness.
A short while later, a transfer notification popped up on my phone screen, the amount being 50,000 yuan.
Lu Jingxun: [Weren't you planning to go to the county town to buy new clothes? This money is for your younger siblings; buy them a few outfits too, just in time for when they start kindergarten.]
Jiang Zhiyi looked at the transfer but didn't accept it immediately. She held her phone and typed, a smile already on her face.
My dearest baby: [Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I know you're busy, I won't disturb you. I'll be good. But I miss you, and you should remember to miss me too.]
After sending the message, she clicked the button to receive the transfer.
[Accepted.]
Lu Jingxun: [Hmm.]
Jiang Zhiyi checked her WeChat balance, then opened her mobile banking app. Looking at the increased numbers in her account, she felt a surge of joy.
I can now consider myself a moderately wealthy woman.
Even just staying by Lu Jingxun's side and getting a little benefit from it would bring considerable advantages.
As for what Lu Jingxun is doing now, she doesn't care. It's good that she's taking a few days off.
Jiang Zhiyi looked up at her younger brother and sister, who were dressing her by the bedside, and said with a smile, "Jin Jin and Yin Yin, how about your big sister takes you to the county town to buy new clothes today?"
As she spoke, she quickly walked to the wardrobe and began rummaging through it.
At home, we usually dress them in clothes that are easy to get dirty or old clothes. But if we're going out shopping today, we have to dress them up nicely.
Jiang Qiujin changed into a floral T-shirt, paired with jeans, and wore his favorite pair of light-up shoes.
Jiang Qiuyin, like Jiang Zhiyi, wore a light-colored dress, and Jiang Zhiyi also braided her hair into two cute little braids. Standing there, she looked like a little princess who had stepped out of a fairy tale.
After making all the preparations, Jiang Zhiyi took out her phone and called Ye Jingming.
Ye Jingming just messaged her yesterday, saying that he bought a car and that if she wanted to go to the county town, she should ask him for help.
Today happens to be a day off. Jiang Zhiyi just saw Ye Jingming's post on his WeChat Moments, where he was enjoying the cool air in the yard, so he should be free right now.
Ye Jingming answered the phone almost instantly and immediately agreed upon hearing Jiang Zhiyi's words.
Actually, even if Jiang Zhiyi didn't contact him first, he was already thinking of finding a reason to ask her out for a walk.
"Sister, are we going to wait for the bus?" Jiang Qiujin asked expectantly, her little face beaming with excitement. She had two small water bottles hanging on her body, one for herself and one for her younger sister.
He patted the kettle and said proudly, "My little sister is not strong enough. I'm the older brother, so I can carry two."
Jiang Qiuyin chimed in in a childish voice, "I want to sit by the window..."
She loves sitting by the window and enjoying the breeze. When the wind is strong, her braids fly up and down, which is a lot of fun.
Jiang Zhiyi patted the two children's heads and said softly, "Jingming will come to pick us up later, and he will drive us there."
"Okay!" The two little ones cheered and skipped downstairs.
They ran to the door, peering anxiously, waiting for Ye Jingming's car to appear.
Jiang Zhiyi turned around and went back into the house, picked up her bag, and also took some cash with her.
When I get to the county town today, I still need to go to the bank.
She feels more at ease and secure when she keeps more money at home.
...
The Lu family mansion.
In the spacious living room, Lu Jingxun sat on the sofa, his posture casual, exuding an overbearing arrogance.
Lu Yanlin stood straight in front of him.
Although one was sitting and the other was standing, the aura emanating from the two of them was equally impressive.
An invisible tension seemed to permeate the air, with a hint of impending conflict.
Lu Jingxun slightly raised his eyes, his sharp gaze sweeping over the bodyguards outside. A mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips as he spoke, "What? Are you afraid I'll kill you? Bringing so many people to guard outside, is this how you apologize and beg?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yanlin chuckled lightly, "It's a remote, impoverished place; it's just that the old man's men insisted on following us. Besides, this is your territory; what can they do?"
Lu Jingxun was not surprised by this.
Although Lu Yanlin's biological mother was very cold to him and favored her youngest son, he was still the eldest son of the Lu family.
As long as he doesn't go too far or commit any unforgivable mistakes, no one can get past him.
Sooner or later, the Lu family will be handed over to him.
Speaking of which, Lu Yanlin's background is quite interesting.
Before he was even born, Lu's father was having an affair. When Lu's mother found out, she was so angry that she went into premature labor, which severely damaged her health, leaving her much weaker than before.
Perhaps out of resentment towards her husband's betrayal, this emotion unconsciously spread to Lu Yanlin.
Later, Lu's mother had other sons and became even more indifferent to Lu Yanlin, almost ignoring him completely.
Even so, this did not shake Lu Yanlin's position as the heir of the Lu family.
Back then, Lu Jingxun and Lu Yanlin got into an argument, and Lu Yanlin was beaten so badly that he ended up in the hospital, almost resulting in his death.
When Lu Xingbang learned of this, he broke one of his son's legs, not only to discipline his son and curb his arrogance, but also to give the Lu family an explanation, otherwise the two families would definitely become enemies in the future.
However, once the elders have intervened in matters between the younger generation, it is inappropriate for them to intervene a second time.
Later, when faced with Lu Jingxun and Wan Yanbo's schemes against Lu Yanlin, Lu's father simply turned a blind eye and let Lu Yanlin deal with and resolve the issues on his own.
It is obvious that the other person who was tricked into joining the scheme has long been reduced to a pawn in the process of training the eldest son of the Lu family, left to fend for himself in the storm.
Lu Jingxun spoke without any politeness, his tone cold and forceful: "Kneel down and admit your mistake, and I'll consider letting your brother go."
Now that Lu Yanlin has come to him of his own accord, he will not easily let go of this opportunity to manipulate him. He must vent his long-suppressed anger.
