Chapter 1192: Chance of Winning
"It's something at school. If Xiaobao called me back, how could I not tell you?"
A furrow instantly formed between Lu Yuanzheng's eyebrows:
"Day after day, he keeps asking questions..."
Tang Mei thought what he said was true, but still couldn't help but said:
"Isn't it almost the end of the month? She was originally said to be back in September or October, but it's almost November... I don't know what the situation is like over there."
Lu Yuanzheng knew she was worried, but he didn't try to comfort her softly. Instead, he walked towards the study with his briefcase in hand, and said impatiently:
"She's working for the country, not for anything else. The country will guarantee her safety... Don't worry so much, Ansheng, just be at ease. When the time is right, the child will naturally come back home!"
Tang Mei wanted to say something else, but Lu Yuanzheng had already entered the study and closed the door from the inside.
Separated by a wooden door, Tang Mei hesitated to speak, and finally turned around to do other things.
Lu Yuanzheng frowned and sat at the desk.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yuanzheng slowly stood up and walked towards the glass cabinet on the side of the study.
The small glass cabinet is divided into several layers, and each layer is filled with various souvenirs.
On the top layer, several medals lay quietly in a long brocade box.
Most of those medals were newly minted by the country in recent years.
Each one is golden and extremely bright.
This girl of his...
Lu Yuanzheng's shoulders relaxed and slumped slightly, and he suddenly lost the restraint he had just shown outside. He frowned and sighed softly.
…
After hearing the conversation between Tang Mei and Lu Yuanzheng last time, Xu Xiangcao was filled with resentment.
But no matter how angry she was, Xu Xiangcao could do nothing about it.
She didn't want to leave here, and she was even more unwilling to be driven away like this!
She is no worse than Lu Miao. She doesn't believe that Lu Miao can do it, but it won't work for her!
Xu Xiangcao made up her mind to try again!
Having made up her mind, even if there was a pile of dog shit in front of her, Xu Xiangcao would choose to suppress her nausea and swallow it.
In short, she would never leave this house before achieving her goal!
Aren’t those two old guys on guard against her?
Every policy has its own countermeasure. Xu Xiangcao made two plans.
If she really cannot become the mistress of this house, then she must at least ensure that she will have enough food and clothing in the future!
In the drawers of the room on the second floor, there are many shiny and expensive-looking jewelry.
In the cupboards in the bathroom's dry and wet areas, items like vanishing cream are packed in small boxes.
The things Lu Miao uses are always good, and they are not cheap!
Xu Xiangcao originally wanted to go to the second floor when no one was paying attention, just like she had done in the past.
But this time is different from the past.
She was no longer thinking about using a little secretly, but about taking it away.
Lu Miao is not at home, and men don’t understand what women use.
Even if she took it, no one would notice...
Even if she sold those vanishing creams and facial cleansers at half price, she could still get several dollars for a box!
Xu Xiangcao thought with a little satisfaction.
But what she didn't expect was that when she was quietly implementing her plan, reality gave her another blow!
The door to the terrace on the second floor was locked!
Can’t open!
Xu Xiangcao's teeth chattered, her whole body shaking with anger. She couldn't believe those two old fools would treat her like this!
Not giving up, he pulled the door handle on the terrace and tugged hard several times.
The "thump thump thump" sound of the door and door frame was particularly piercing in the quiet night.
Although there was a lot of noise, there was no sign of letting go.
Xu Xiangcao's heart was beating like a drum. Even though she was unwilling, she was more afraid that someone would hear what she had just done and come find her.
There was nothing he could do but to go back to the front yard with his fists clenched and looking back every few steps.
Because of this matter, Xu Xiangcao gritted her teeth and felt upset for a long time.
But it doesn't matter now.
Because she has a chance of winning!
Xu Xiangcao's sinister cat was in the garden, holding her face with both hands, laughing wildly and distortedly.
…
It was not only Tang Mei who was worried at home, but also Fu Jingyou.
"Did Miaomiao call back today?"
When Fu Jingyou got home from get off work in the evening, the first thing he asked was Lu Miao.
Tang Mei shook her head. "No, but it should be in the next two days. Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."
Fu Jingyou said "hmm" in a low mood. Just as he was about to go upstairs to put his things away, his trouser legs suddenly tightened.
Baichuan came over:
"dad!"
The sunny boy has become sad recently, just like a little bitter melon.
Fu Jingyou picked up the boy and held him up:
"What did you learn in school today?"
"The teacher taught me big characters."
"Have you learned how to write?"
"Um……"
Bai Chuan nodded listlessly. When his father carried him upstairs with one hand, he suddenly put his arms around his father's neck, raised his head, and asked in a confused and serious manner:
"Dad, Mom hasn't called yet?"
“Almost.”
"When is it going to be soon? Will Mom be able to come back tomorrow?"
Fu Jingyou chuckled and tapped his nose, changing the subject:
"When you have dinner and your tummy is full, Daddy will tell you."
"……Um."
Baichuan hesitated and nodded slightly.
The older children in the family are easy to coax and are sensible.
Even if they miss their mother or aunt, they will ask the adults and as long as the adults respond that they will be back soon, they will not ask again.
But the small difference.
The little one has wild and imaginative ideas. Although he is easy to fool, he will ask his mother when he sees something that reminds him of her, regardless of time and place.
But this makes it even more uncomfortable for adults who try to control their emotions.
After dinner, the older children took the younger ones to the study to do their homework.
Fu Jingyou stood up and was about to go to Liu Xiaozhu to get the car keys. Lu Yuanzheng saw him walking out and put down the teacup in his hand and asked:
"It's so late, and you still want to go out?"
Fu Jingyou said, "It's already the end of the month and Miaomiao hasn't called back. I'll go to the Guoying Press and see if there's anyone on duty there. I'll ask what's going on."
Lu Yuanzheng hesitated for a moment, then said with a sharp and serious look:
"She's working on something important. She's definitely coming back when she said she'd be back... Don't disrupt her work schedule. Just be patient and wait a few days."
Fu Jingyou paused slightly as he stepped out of the doorway, then quickly reacted and said:
"knew."
Perhaps his emotions needed a fulcrum, so even though he knew what his father-in-law said made sense, Fu Jingyou still went out.
He drove all the way to Guoyingshe and parked at the place where he usually picked up Lu Miao.
The Guoying Society, which usually has very few staff at this time, is now brightly lit and bustling with activity.
Fu Jingyou leaned against the side of the car, looking at the glorious place in the distance.
He waited until the night deepened and the lights inside gradually went out before driving back.
All that was left on the ground were stubbed-out cigarette butts, proving that someone had been there.
