Xia Junyue took out his phone and left the ward. He came back in after a while: "Mu Xi, you should rest first. Your uncle has something to take care of."
Lu Qingyan sighed. This guy really is a workaholic. He doesn't even have time to spend more with his niece.
Lu Qingyan watched Xia Junyue walk away, her resentful gaze almost making a hole in the wall.
It was just a minor injury, and Lu Qingyan didn't think it was serious enough to require her to stay in the hospital. After taking a nap, she packed her things and went home.
Lu Qingyan hailed a taxi after leaving the hospital, and only after getting out of the car at the villa did she realize with embarrassment that she hadn't brought any cash.
Although the world is set in modern times, it's not yet the time when mobile payments are accepted. Lu Qingyan patted her pockets and looked pitifully at the driver: "Uncle, I don't have any money with me. Please wait for me to go in and get some money."
The driver, a middle-aged man, looked Lu Qingyan up and down before getting out of the car. He asked suspiciously, "You're not trying to renege on your debt, are you?"
"Uncle, I really forgot to bring it. Could you lend me your phone so I can call my family and have them send the money over?" Lu Qingyan was heartbroken, never expecting that this day would come.
The driver gave Lu Qingyan a wary look: "You're not trying to scam me out of my phone, are you?"
Lu Qingyan: "..."
Uncle, what happened to you? How could you doubt a child like me who looks so sincere?
"Xia Muxi?" Xia Junyue's voice came from behind Lu Qingyan. Lu Qingyan turned around excitedly: Her savior has arrived!
"Uncle, I don't have any money to pay the fare." Lu Qingyan blinked at the tall and handsome man.
Xia Junyue, his face dark, pulled a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket, then reached in again, only to find nothing there.
"That's enough, that's enough," the driver said, taking the banknotes from Xia Junyue's hand, giving him change, and then speeding away.
Sigh, I wonder what that girl's uncle is like. He looks so cold and intimidating.
"Uncle." Lu Qingyan smiled sweetly, and was about to thank him when she heard Xia Junyue say, "Your allowance will be halved next month."
Lu Qingyan felt extremely wronged. With her head down, she didn't see the smile in Xia Junyue's eyes as she looked distressed.
"Sir, you're back. I didn't expect you to come back with Miss."
A middle-aged man dressed as an English butler saw Xia Junyue at the door and his eyes lit up. He hurried forward and his eyes widened when he saw Lu Qingyan next to Xia Junyue.
When did the husband and wife get so close that they actually come home together?
Lu Qingyan greeted him with a smile, "Hello, Uncle Butler," and then went upstairs.
In the past, Xia Muxi would go straight upstairs without greeting the housekeeper, but now that Xia Muxi was replaced by Lu Qingyan, she naturally had to get along well with this elder who had taken such good care of her.
Having followed the original owner's lead and submitted to several worlds, shouldn't she also be able to do as she pleases for once?
Lu Qingyan decided that the first thing she had to do was change the original owner's personality, so that she wouldn't live in her own world and ignore the care of those close to her.
So she went home, greeted the housekeeper first, and then went upstairs to read for a while. And, while she was at it, she'd put on a nice face mask.
After all, looks are very important in order to get married to her uncle!
Xia Muxi was born beautiful, but the mental torment she suffered during this period due to some things with Luo An had made her look haggard and her beauty was diminished by three points.
Lu Qingyan had a semi-transparent face mask on, revealing only her eyes, as she turned on her computer and opened a book.
