"Lu Xi! No way, are you serious?"
Lu Fan looked at Lu Xi, who was grinning mischievously, with disbelief.
Now he wished he could just strangle his sister to death, that would vent his anger.
Of course, this is just wishful thinking; it's impossible to actually do it...
However, Lu Fan had no intention of letting her off so easily; he was determined to get his revenge.
The way the two siblings get along has always been like this; simply put, they tease each other.
"Hahaha... Look how scared you are, hahaha."
Lu Xi laughed so hard she almost fell over.
She only wanted to scare Lu Fan; in fact, she had already hung up the phone.
However, seeing Lu Fan's smug expression, she naturally had to punish him.
Hearing Lu Xi's words, Lu Fan also realized that something was wrong.
He narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you mean? Are you kidding me?"
"Well, Lu Xi, you've grown some guts now, haven't you? How dare you treat me like this?"
Lu Fan himself hadn't expected that Lu Xi would trick him, and that she would actually succeed!
Have I been feeling a bit unstable lately?
Otherwise, how could he have fallen for this girl's tricks so many times?
Logically, this shouldn't be the case.
"Tch, didn't you just say you had a high status in your family?"
"How come you gave yourself away as soon as I said I was on the phone?"
"Why did you stop pretending?"
Lu Xi looked at Lu Fan with a mocking expression and said.
Lu Xi had seen her brother's behavior like this more than once or twice.
He's all talk and no action, but at home he's more obedient than anyone else.
"You! You're really something!"
Lu Fan pointed at Lu Xi, and after a long pause, he finally said something.
There was nothing he could do about the girl.
Just then, a thought suddenly flashed through Lu Fan's mind:
"It seems like you haven't been home in ages, has it? How about it? Interested in coming back with me for a few days? Don't you miss home?"
Lu Fan felt that if he went back now, there would probably be no one to take care of this girl.
Anyway, there are no problems on the company's side, and the company's senior executives are more than capable of handling issue 9.
The remaining 1% also needs to be decided by the chairman after their discussions.
So even if Lu Xi were here, she wouldn't really have much to do; at most, she'd just manage the company...
Staying home for a few days is not a problem at all.
With airplanes so fast these days, anywhere within the Great Xia territory can be reached in a single day.
Once I bring her home, I'll slowly torture her.
hey-hey……
Thinking about this, Lu Fan couldn't help but praise his own wisdom. He was so clever! If he left her here alone, there would be no way to deal with her at all.
After all, they are so far apart...
"I won't reply."
Just as Lu Fan was indulging in his wild thoughts, Lu Xi suddenly gave a decisive reply.
Lu Fan: "..."
Why so decisive? That shouldn't be the case.
Shouldn't you be happy to be allowed to go home?
You weren't like this before, how come you've changed so much all of a sudden?
Lu Fan couldn't quite figure out Lu Xi's thoughts and didn't understand why she refused so decisively.
Just as he was wondering, Lu Xi spoke again: "You're definitely up to something. I know you too well. Tch, you wouldn't send me back for no reason..."
Hearing this, Lu Fan nodded in agreement.
That's true, that's exactly what I think.
But... how did you know?
This girl is getting smarter and smarter.
Could it be that I've been spending too much time with myself? And so I've been infected by my own intelligence?
It seems that one truly does become like the company one keeps...
Even someone as slow-witted as Lu Xi has become so smart after spending so much time with me.
Seeing that Lu Fan remained silent, Lu Xi, with an expression that seemed to see right through him, pursed her lips and said:
"See? I told you so! You think you could fool me? I'm not the same person I used to be. The little sister you used to bully has grown up now. Humph, don't even think about fooling me again."
"Cough cough..."
Lu Fan felt he still needed to try again, since Lu Xi hadn't completely rejected him.
He just thought he was trying to trick her.
If you offer some advice, there is still a chance of success.
Thinking of this, Lu Fan narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly:
“Little sister, you have no idea... Dad and Mom video-called me a while ago, they know I’m coming back.”
Lu Fan merely rolled his eyes slightly, and instantly conjured up a perfect story in his mind.
In fact, Lu Fan had never video chatted with his parents. He hadn't even contacted his wife during this time, so his parents were naturally ignored as well.
It's all because he's too "busy".
After briefly clarifying his thoughts, Lu Fan continued:
"Although they didn't say it directly, I could tell from their words that they missed you very, very much, but they were afraid of affecting your work and career and didn't want to disturb you."
"That's why I told you not to tell you..."
Lu Fan sighed softly, put his hands behind his back, and said:
"But as a son, how can I bear to see my parents so eager to see their daughter, yet unable to..."
As he spoke, Lu Fan took a few steps closer to Lu Xi.
Because he noticed that Lu Xi's eyes had begun to dart away, clearly indicating that she was wavering.
At this point, it's crucial to strike while the iron is hot. With just a little more persuasion, success is within reach.
Letting out a slow breath, Lu Fan said with even more emotion:
"The hearts of parents are full of love and longing. I believe only they can truly understand this feeling. They want to see their children but dare not say it, and can only keep this longing in their hearts."
“Sigh, it’s so difficult. As their children, I feel it would be too much if they didn’t understand this… and didn’t do it.”
Lu Fan immediately transformed into an emotional master and began to give a passionate speech.
Lu Fan is quite adept at this, after all, he has experienced a lot along the way.
They know exactly what to say to touch the other person's heartstrings.
This is also one of Lu Fan's extraordinary abilities.
"Even though they don't want to talk about it, that doesn't mean we can't do it. Our parents are getting old now, and we definitely need to try our best to consider their feelings and make them happier..."
You should understand what I'm saying, right?
As he spoke, Lu Fan grasped Lu Xi's shoulder and patted it gently:
"Think about what I'm saying carefully in your heart. Sigh, sister, I hope you can understand what I mean."
After saying that, Lu Fan put his hands behind his back and looked out the window, his face deep in thought...
It was as if he was enduring great torment in his heart.
In truth, Lu Fan was overjoyed.
I am very satisfied with my performance.
