The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind - Chapter 437: 436: Ready to Accompany at Any Time

Chapter 437: Chapter 436: Ready to Accompany at Any Time

Mrs. Ji was worried the two would start arguing, so she said, “I had just come back from the supermarket with Nannan. On our way, we ran into a girl who blocked our path. She used a fake snake to scare Nannan. Thankfully, my girl is brave; if she were a bit more faint-hearted, she might’ve collapsed on the spot, and the baby in her belly can’t withstand such commotion.”

Mrs. Ji exaggerated the incident, hoping Lu Qingyan would properly address it.

All those rotten peach blossoms should not keep dancing in front of the rightful person, letting her continue to harass Jiang Nanshu.

Lu Qingyan’s stern face softened, and he apologized to Mrs. Ji, “Mom, I’m sorry. I don’t know her well, but I’ll take care of it. Don’t worry.”

Mrs. Ji was satisfied then, “Come have lunch with Nanshu at my place later. I’ve already bought the ingredients.”

Lu Qingyan nodded, “Okay.”

He took Jiang Nanshu’s hand and casually picked up the items she was holding, “We’ll come over in a bit.”

Mrs. Ji was somewhat uneasy, “Nanshu is pregnant, don’t argue with her.”

Lu Qingyan, feeling helpless, “I won’t argue with her. I couldn’t bear to.”

Mrs. Ji then went inside.

Jiang Nanshu also entered.

Lu Qingyan got her slippers and knelt down to help her take off her shoes. After finishing, he said, “You scared me to death by not answering your phone.”

“Could I even run away?” Jiang Nanshu looked at him amused.

Lu Qingyan looked down at her belly and hugged her, “I was afraid.”

Jiang Nanshu patted his back, “Relax a bit. She’s just a little girl, and she doesn’t affect me at all. Did you meet her yesterday when you told me not to open the door? You showered right after you got back, what did you do?”

Jiang Nanshu casually asked, curiosity in her eyes, without any other emotions.

Lu Qingyan didn’t respond immediately, unsure whether his wife was just unconcerned or truly didn’t care about him.

Lu Qingyan pinched Jiang Nanshu’s cheek, which had gotten fuller, “I didn’t want trash like that to bother you. I feel dirty just standing next to her, so I took a shower when I came back. I didn’t do anything with her.”

Lu Qingyan answered all three of Jiang Nanshu’s questions at once.

He continued, “She’s the sister of a boss from Miannan, her name is Yu Zhuyin. I met her when I went to pick up my father. She unreasonably started clinging onto me, but rest assured, I have no relationship with her, and I haven’t done anything inappropriate.”

Lu Qingyan hurriedly proved his innocence.

In his heart, he wished he could strangle Yu Zhuyin.

Seeing the anonymous number sending him photos of Jiang Nanshu, with a familiar setting in the background, Lu Qingyan knew that Yu Zhuyin had approached Jiang Nanshu.

Luckily, his wife was not swayed by the villain.

“I’ll take care of her, don’t worry.”

Jiang Nanshu rolled her eyes, “I’m not worried. In fact, I even want to fight her. I haven’t been active for too long; I feel like my bones are getting rusty.”

“Sigh,” she said as she held a bunch of grapes and walked into the kitchen, “When will this boring life finally be over?”

Lu Qingyan didn’t say anything, just realized he was worried for nothing.

But then again, that was just like Jiang Nanshu. Not one to back down from a challenge.

Lu Qingyan slightly narrowed his eyes, sending out a message behind Jiang Nanshu’s back.

…

In an abandoned chemical factory.

“Ahh!” A piercing scream tore through the sky.

“Ahh! Get away, get away, get away, help me!” Yu Zhuyin’s cries were a mixture of misery and terror.

The central incandescent light turned on, and Yu Zhuyin realized she was tied to a chair, a cold sensation wrapped around her ankles, which scared her to the point of ruining her makeup with tears.

She remembered being at the bar drinking. How had she woken up in such a godforsaken place?

“Oh, oh, oh, Shiyi, save me, where are you?”

But no matter how she called out, the black-clothed man named Shiyi did not appear.

Footsteps sounded from outside.

Yu Zhuyin followed the noise with her eyes.

Tears made her eyes wide, which then turned into disbelief.

Lu Qingyan was dressed in a black button-up with the top undone to his collarbone, the sound of his lighter was especially clear in the silent chemical plant as he lit a cigarette, its sparse smoke rising upwards.

His black hair hung down, adding a touch of weary indifference to his demeanor, entirely different from the refreshing breeze and clear moon of the daytime; he only incited fear now.

Yu Zhuyin started to tremble, staring motionlessly at Lu Qingyan; snakes covered her from head to toe, and she didn’t even dare to cry out, terrified they would turn and bite her.

Lu Qingyan hadn’t wanted to do these things anymore; he was restraining the destructive desire deep in his bones for Jiang Nanshu, longing for a peaceful life, yet everywhere he turned, there were people wanting to mess with him.

Messing with him was one thing, but it was absolutely unforgivable to provoke Jiang Nanshu.

Just the thought of anything happening to Jiang Nanshu sent his destructive desires soaring to their peak.

Let them all die.

Everyone should die.

He exhaled the cigarette smoke slowly and lifted his eyes to Yu Zhuyin, his lips curling into a smile, “Miss Yu, do you like it? It’s my gift to you.”

Yu Zhuyin’s face was tear-stained; she realized Lu Qingyan’s warning had been serious.

He really would kill for that woman.

He had only smoked half the cigarette when he threw it to the ground and stamped it out, maintaining a safe distance from Yu Zhuyin, his peach blossom eyes smiling, “Don’t you like playing with snakes? Today, I’ll let you play to your heart’s content.”

“Lu Qingyan!” Yu Zhuyin finally understood fear and struggled as she cried out, “My brother is Yu Xiao, the top man in Miannan. If you kill me, he won’t let you off; you’ll be avenged for the rest of your life! You’ll never live in peace.”

Lu Qingyan’s expression was one of distaste, “So what?”

“What?” Yu Zhuyin stammered.

Smiling, he said, “Miannan’s reach doesn’t extend to Hua Country. If he dares to come here, I’ll ensure he won’t return.”

Yu Zhuyin pressed her lips together, her pupils dilated with intense fear, filled with terror.

“Do you still like me?” he asked.

His light words sounded unusually gentle to Yu Zhuyin’s ears.

She swallowed hard.

Her gaze fixed intently on Lu Qingyan’s face.

She didn’t know why someone could look so unattainable when cold, yet so dangerously attractive to her.

She didn’t speak, refusing to answer Lu Qingyan’s question.

“It seems you still want to disgust me,” Lu Qingyan said, tilting his chin up to look directly over Yu Zhuyin’s head, “Then I have no choice but to give you another big gift.”

Yu Zhuyin had a bad feeling in her heart, and immediately looked up, her eyes widening.

Above her was a net crawling with snakes, ready to drop all over her with the release of the net.

Her face turned deathly pale as she muttered, “Don’t… don’t do this to me, get away, get away…”

Lu Qingyan looked away as the net suddenly broke open.

An even more piercing scream rang out, then silence followed.

Lu Qingyan’s gaze remained indifferent; the snake-encircled Yu Zhuyin had already fainted.

He scoffed internally, nothing much after all.

A black figure rushed in quickly, stepping over the snakes to swiftly carry away the snake-bitten Yu Zhuyin.

As he passed Lu Qingyan, he glowered, “Mr. Lu is this your way of declaring opposition to our boss? You know the consequences.”

Lu Qingyan couldn’t even be bothered to spare them a glance, his voice cold, “Take Yu Zhuyin and get lost, and tell Yu Xiao that I’m ready whenever he is.”
