Chapter 542: Unconscious_1

Lu Xuening laughed and asked, her words sounding deliberately provocative.

Lei Shuo didn’t know what to say, so Lu Xuening laughed again: “Just kidding.”

“I’ll take him upstairs to rest first, and we’ll head back to the main house later.”

She glanced at Lei Shuo again, her voice growing louder: “Don’t worry, it’s very quiet here.

The servants don’t dare to come upstairs, no one will bother him.”

She turned back to look at Lu An: “Dad, I’ll come down in a bit.”

“Go ahead, take good care of Mr.

Jin,” said Lu An immediately.

So, Lu Xuening helped Dongfang Jin upstairs.

Dongfang Ji wanted to follow them, but he seemed to hesitate, and in the end, he gave up on the idea.

Baili Xia put down her chopsticks, her eyes thoughtful and complicated, her mind seemingly elsewhere.

Lu An immediately engaged everyone again, laughing: “Let’s have some tea in the main hall.”

…

Lu Xuening did indeed come down soon, and when she did, she gave Lu An a smile.

In front of everyone, she announced loudly: “Jin really is quite drunk. He fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed. I bet he wouldn’t wake up now even if there was a thunderstorm.”

No one really paid attention to these words, just took them as a joke and moved on.

Only Baili Xia’s eyes darkened for a moment, but she remained silent.

And as for Lu Xuening, she kept an eye on her with her peripheral vision.

She was sure, her words had not fallen on deaf ears.

Since Jin is so deeply asleep, isn’t this the perfect opportunity to do something?

Everyone was enjoying their tea in the main hall when Dongfang Ji suddenly remembered something and hurried off.

Lei Shuo also left shortly after, presumably having something to take care of.

Lu Xuening suddenly started talking about the sapling she had planted in the backyard years ago and insisted on taking Lu An to see it.

As she left, she gave He Xinjie a glance, her words filled with a hint of condescension.

“If you don’t have anything to do, you might as well go back to your room and sleep.

This place is too big, I’m afraid you’ll get lost if you wander around.”

“I understand, I’ll go back and rest now.”

He Xinjie stood up from the couch, grabbed Baili Xia, and hurried off.

“Mom, Mr. Dongfang has said it, no one here will bully you. Why do you always have to live your life according to her mood?”

Upon leaving, Baili Xia couldn’t help but whisper.

He Xinjie shook her head, quickly concealing the bitterness in her eyes.

“I’m sorry for making you embarrassed at the dinner table,” she said to her.

“Mom, what are you talking about? I wasn’t embarrassed.”

That’s Baili Xia for you, she can’t stand it when people show her kindness.

It’s not easy for her mom either.

Is she really happy living here?

She held her hand tightly, her face serious.

“Mom, I found a part-time job.

I can earn money now.”

“If you’re not satisfied living here, I’ll take you somewhere else once I’ve saved enough money.

Is that okay?”

“No!” He Xinjie immediately refused.

“Xiaxia, you know, all my life…

”

“I know, Mom, you’re committed to Lu An for life.”

Baili Xia let out a deep breath, her heart heavy, but she had no choice.

“Mom, I have to go back. You should go back to your room and rest.”

Looking in the distance, she could see Lu Xuening and Lu An walking towards the backyard.

And they were already quite far.

Baili Xia looked at He Xinjie and promptly said, “Mom, I really need to go.

I have something to do.”

“Okay, be careful.

I’ll go back to my room and rest.”

“Okay.” Baili Xia nodded her head.

Just as she sent He Xinjie back, her cell phone in her bag started to ring.

She took it out and, without a second thought, she answered the call: “Brother…”
