Chapter 165 Result.
Cecil felt that Smellian was the type who was reserved and flirtatious. Although he looked calm and composed now, as if he didn't care about what he said at all, he was secretly acting like a spoiled child to Lu Xia!
They were all males, so who knew who?
When the three of them returned home, the old butler had already prepared dinner. Just as Lu Xia was about to eat, Duke Leslie suddenly visited.
The old butler invited him in, and Lu Xia stood up to greet him. Duke Leslie smiled and said, "I happened to be out today, so I came to see you on the way. I hope I didn't disturb you. I also missed you a little after not seeing you for many days."
The old butler followed Duke Leslie with a bunch of things in his hands. Duke Leslie smiled and explained, "I saw some nice clothes while shopping, and I thought you would look good in them, so I bought them. Don't be polite to me."
Duke Lu Xia knew very well that Duke Leslie probably felt that Grace's absence would alienate the relationship with the Duke Lu Xia's mansion, so he came here to maintain the relationship, and he saw through it but didn't say it.
In this way, in order to reassure Duke Leslie, Lu Xia naturally would not refuse, and smiled and said: "Just now I was thinking, when I have time to go see you, I didn't expect you to come."
Lu Xia said and ordered the old housekeeper: "Ask the brooder to bring Little Grape down."
Duke Leslie noticed that they were going to eat, and smiled: "You guys eat first, don't worry about me, I'll go upstairs and see Little Grape myself."
Lu Xia asked Duke Leslie if he had eaten, if not, let's eat together.
"I ate outside, don't worry about me, you guys eat, I'll go upstairs first."
This was not her first time to Duke Lu Xia's mansion, and she was already familiar with the environment here. Lu Xia did not stop her, and let her go upstairs by herself, but just ordered the old housekeeper to take good care of her.
After Duke Leslie went upstairs to see Little Grape, Lu Xia brought Smellian and Cecil to the restaurant again. Cecil also knew that Duke Leslie came for Grace's matter, so he asked, "Is there no news about Grace yet? Do you need me to arrange some people to go..."
Lu Xia said directly, "Don't worry about this matter, I will take care of it."
Smellian did not say anything, but put the dishes that Lu Xia liked in front of her. Lu Xia smiled and expressed her gratitude. After the meal, Lu Xia got up and went to the nursery. Duke Leslie was holding Little Grape with red eyes, obviously he had just cried. Seeing Lu Xia coming in, she quickly wiped the corners of her eyes and smiled: "Oh, you see, I haven't seen Little Grape for several days,
and I couldn't help it when I saw her. Our little baby has grown up again." Lu Xia walked over and patted her shoulder gently: "Admiral Snop is still investigating Grace's matter. Although there is no news now, think about it in a positive way. No news is also good news."
Duke Leslie knew that Lu Xia was comforting himself: "I know it in my heart, but sometimes I feel a little uncomfortable when I think about it, but don't worry, I'm fine."
"That's good, you must take care of yourself."
"I know, what about you, how are you recently, are you in good health, I see that you get along well with Smelian, and that child is also a good child. Grace is not here, it's good to have him accompany you."
"Well, Smelian is not bad." Lu Xia responded, and then saw the snacks brought by the old butler, picked them up and handed them to Duke Leslie, "Have something to eat."
"Okay." Duke Leslie took it, still holding little Grape in his arms. The little guy was able to sit now, leaning in Duke Leslie's arms, holding his beloved gem in his hand, smiling happily.
Duke Leslie didn't know if she was the kind of person who was close to her grandson. She didn't really care much about male children. Grace's sudden disappearance made her feel even more sorry. What she felt was whether Duke Leslie's interest connection with Duke Lu Xia's mansion would be interrupted.
When facing Little Grape, she really liked it. Obviously, the child in her arms was not a female child, but just an ordinary male child, but she loved it very much.
Little Grape was also very well-behaved. Even though she didn't see Duke Leslie often, she didn't feel shy. She sat steadily in her arms and laughed from time to time, which made Duke Leslie even more soft-hearted.
Duke Leslie didn't stay for long. After interacting with Little Grape for a while, he stood up and prepared to leave. Lu Xia personally sent her to the door: "If there is any news about Grace, I will inform you as soon as possible."
Duke Leslie nodded and said, "Okay. Don't worry about me, and you should take care of yourself."
Lu Xia nodded and watched Duke Leslie leave.
When Lu Xia returned to the house, Cecil said, "Sister, don't you know that Duke Leslie is introducing a new partner to Xiuska?"
Hearing this, Lu Xia did not know about it, but she was not surprised. As the only male in the Duke Leslie's Mansion, even if Xiuska was not as good as Grace and was abandoned by his former partner, Duke Leslie's style of focusing on the interests of the Duke Leslie's Mansion would naturally not let Xiuska stay at home in vain, and would definitely maximize the benefits. She was just curious: "Who is the candidate introduced to him this time?"
Cecil raised the corners of her lips slightly: "Xiuska can only be an ordinary viscount now, and he can't be a head husband. He can barely be a concubine because of the face of the Duke Leslie's Mansion."
Lu Xia nodded and said nothing more. She knew very well that even if Xiuska had been abandoned by his partner and had entered Xiongde College, he had the support of the Duke Leslie's Mansion and he was still a gene fusionist. His marriage should not be too bad, but it just couldn't reach the height that Duke Leslie expected.
Lu Xia didn't care about Xiuska's marriage. To her, Xiuska was just an insignificant person. She looked at Cecil and smiled, "How do you know these things?"
"A partner has some connections with the Duke Leslie's Mansion, just chatting casually."
Hearing this, Lu Xia nodded, knowing that Xiuska's affairs had probably become a topic of conversation in the circle. This was probably the reason why Duke Leslie was eager to get rid of Xiuska, not wanting him to continue to affect the reputation of the Duke Leslie's Mansion.
Lu Xia returned to the study and just opened the door and saw Smelian standing inside. Seeing Lu Xia, Smelian turned around and said, "The investigation has results."
Although he didn't say the whole story, Lu Xia knew that there was an investigation result about his previous car accident. He didn't expect it to be so fast.
He asked, "Who is it?"
Smelian transferred a document to Lu Xia's terminal. After Lu Xia opened it, he read it at a glance and then laughed out of anger.
She didn't expect that even though Mrs. Dai Yin and Victoria had left, they didn't want her to have an easy life. These two guys were really vicious.
Thinking back to when that car rushed over, if it weren't for Tucker and the others, Lu Xia knew very well that she would not be able to stand here safely now. That person rushed over with the intention of killing her.
