Chapter 487 The Problematic Baby VS The Arrogant Guy Who Loves to Ask Questions 39
Upon hearing Lu Jingxun's request, Lu Yanlin's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was already filled with displeasure.
He stands here today representing the Lu family; how could he possibly kneel down and admit his mistakes so easily?
Lu Yanlin suppressed his emotions, looked calmly at Lu Jingxun, and said, "The resort project on Island A is available to you."
This project involves a huge sum of money and is very profitable, making it a truly substantial gift.
However, Lu Jingxun merely raised an eyebrow, a hint of disdain on his face, and coldly retorted, "Am I that short of money?"
For him, wealth is not the standard by which to measure things; a mere project is not enough to impress him.
Although there were indeed some temptations, he was more interested in seeing Lu Yanlin embarrassed than making money.
Lu Yanlin's face darkened.
The two argued and refused to give in.
The atmosphere in the living room grew increasingly tense, and a stalemate ensued, with neither side able to persuade the other.
Suddenly, Lu Jingxun's cell phone, which was on the coffee table beside him, rang.
He tilted his head slightly, glanced at the screen, and saw that it was Lu Xingbang calling. His expression instantly turned serious.
He reached for his phone, pressed the answer button, and heard Lu Xingbang's deep voice coming through the receiver, giving a few simple instructions.
Lu Jingxun replied with a few words, then abruptly hung up the phone.
Contrary to Lu Jingxun's expectations, he had thought that Lu Xingbang would bring up Lu Yanlin's matter directly, but Lu Xingbang did not say anything. Today's phone call sounded like just a father's routine greeting to his son.
But the timing was too coincidental, and Lu Jingxun couldn't help but have some doubts.
Even if Lu Xingbang didn't say it explicitly, it was probably a reminder not to go too far.
This means that they all knew about it and were waiting for the outcome.
Lu Jingxun snorted coldly: "So you really enjoy going home crying and complaining to others, huh?"
It was a sarcastic tone.
Lu Yanlin didn't say anything, but took out a few photos from his pocket and held them up to Lu Jingxun.
The photo clearly shows Lu Jingxun taking Jiang Zhiyi to look at houses in the county town.
Lu Yanlin knew very well that Lu Xingbang had always been extremely strict in disciplining Lu Jingxun, especially in matters of love and sex. His family rules were strict, and he would never allow any transgressions.
Not to mention a mentally challenged idiot from the countryside.
Lu Jingxun glanced at the photo, his tone still indifferent: "Do you think I would care?"
Lu Yanlin hadn't expected these photos to be decisive; he just wanted to get more leverage. But seeing Lu Jingxun's reaction, a strange intuition suddenly welled up inside him.
It seems he really did stumble upon something by accident.
That woman was not as unimportant to Lu Jingxun as he was currently acting.
When he saw that woman last night, he felt that she was no ordinary woman and couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
A woman who can keep Lu Jingxun in check, even if she's a fool, is still a useful fool.
Seeing Lu Yanlin's probing gaze, Lu Jingxun couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
Regardless of what he might do to Jiang Zhiyi in the future, he doesn't like others interfering in this matter.
He also knew in his heart that if Lu Xingbang found out about this, given his father's consistently tough and ruthless approach of "better to kill the innocent than the guilty," Jiang Zhiyi would inevitably be implicated and suffer greatly...
At this moment, Lu Jingxun could no longer suppress his anger and looked at him coldly.
Seeing this, Lu Yanlin spoke up at the opportune moment: "Things are all negotiable. If we can resolve this, there's no need to bother the elders. The scenery here is beautiful, and I'd like to stay a few more days. Is that convenient? Also, I'd like to discuss a collaboration with you on that project in S City..."
...
Not long after, the butler took Lu Yanlin to the guest room to rest, and Lu Jingxun also returned to his study for the time being.
He thought for a moment and sent a message to Jiang Zhiyi, asking where she was, but she, who usually replied instantly, didn't reply for a long time today.
Lu Jingxun frowned, then quickly arranged for people to go look for her, worried that something might have happened to her.
At this moment, Jiang Zhiyi was in a shopping mall in the center of the county town, surrounded by people coming and going, and it was very lively.
Ye Jingming followed behind Jiang Zhiyi and the two children, carrying large and small bags, all of which were the spoils of their shopping trip.
Jiang Zhiyi was leading Jiang Qiujin and Jiang Qiuyin to choose clothes in the clothing section.
About an hour later, the clothes for the two children were finally bought, and Jiang Zhiyi then prepared to choose a few items for herself as well.
At this moment, she took out her phone and glanced at it, only then noticing that Lu Jingxun had sent her a message more than an hour earlier.
Lu Jingxun: [Where did you go today? Are you in the county town now?]
Jiang Zhiyi's heart tightened, and she subconsciously glanced at Ye Jingming not far away, then hesitated for a moment.
She knew Lu Jingxun was domineering, and he would definitely be unhappy if he found out that he had asked Ye Jingming for help with transportation.
My dearest baby: [We went to the county town and are currently in the mall. We bought a lot of things. Jinjin and Yinyin said they want to make little stickers to thank you for the new clothes you gave them.]
Lu Jingxun sent the location, and his men immediately went to the mall upon receiving the message.
Before long, several photos of the shopping mall were sent to Lu Jingxun's phone.
She herself is fine, but now she's clearly in other trouble... Ye Jingming, who was with Jiang Zhiyi, was also caught in the incident.
Lu Jingxun let out an unhappy sigh and slammed his phone on the table.
At that moment, Jiang Zhiyi sent a message to Lu Jingxun.
It's a photograph.
In the photo, Jiang Zhiyi is standing in front of a mirror, holding up a light blue dress and gesturing to herself.
The cutest baby: [Do you think it's cute?]
Lu Jingxun: [It's alright. Did you go with three people?]
Jiang Zhiyi was completely unaware of the probing meaning in his words, simply assuming that he was concerned about her.
She picked up her phone and replied without thinking.
The cutest baby: [Yes, the three of us went by car.]
At first glance, this statement would only make one think that they have taken the bus at the entrance of the village.
Lu Jingxun snorted coldly.
She did learn to lie and deceive him.
After waiting for a few minutes, Jiang Zhiyi saw that Lu Jingxun still hadn't replied, and didn't know what he was doing, so she didn't bother to pay attention to him.
My dearest baby: [I'm going to the fitting room to try on dresses, so I won't talk to you for now. You're busy.]
She made an excuse to end the conversation with him early.
Lu Jingxun replied very quickly at this moment.
Lu Jingxun: [Not busy. Perfect timing, show me.]
He made a video call directly.
