After being reminded countless times by his own parents through text messages, Fu Jingshen took the driver’s seat himself.
The car had just left the airport.
In the back seat, Lu Yinan’s phone in his pocket started ringing, and he took it out to check.
He pursed his lips and directly hung up the call.
In fact, when they were at the airport just now, he had already seen Lu Qin and Qin Shuang. Now that Qin Shuang called, he knew what they were up to.
Feeling somewhat ironic, they had once despised Lu Miao for coming from the countryside, thinking she was useless, and even forced her into the Gu family for the sake of a dowry. But now that they saw Lu Miao knew Young Master Fu, they wanted to bring her back.
Glancing at the injury on his hand, he couldn’t help but recall the hurtful words they said when he returned home last time. It didn’t matter if he got injured, but they had no right to seek Lu Miao’s forgiveness.
When the phone called again, Lu Yinan simply blocked the number. Beside him, Lu Miao turned her head and looked at him, “It’s okay, go ahead and answer.”
Lu Yinan shook his head, “Unknown number, probably a sales call.” Lu Miao nodded and didn’t ask further.
The Lingyue Manor had been rearranged, and all the furniture had been replaced with new ones. Fu Jingshen dropped them off at the entrance.
Lu Miao got out of the car and waved casually at him.
Fu Jingshen rolled down the car window and raised an eyebrow, “Won’t you invite me in?”
“If you’re not in a hurry to complete Old Master Fu’s orders, feel free to come in, ” Lu Miao replied nonchalantly.
Fu Jingshen helplessly smiled and said,” Can’t you be a little less intelligent?”
Old Master Fu indeed had many things waiting for him to handle, and he personally came to see her as a way to express his appreciation and gratitude for what happened yesterday.
“I can’t.” Lu Miao accepted the praise with deserved humility.
After smiling and bidding farewell, Fu Jingshen left. However, this revelation left Lu Yinan even more astonished. He had initially thought that Lu Miao was merely acquainted with Young Master Fu. Yet, from their conversation, it seemed she had a connection with Old Master Fu too!
That was Old Master Fu!
When he first met Lu Miao, he had only intended to be her support and protector. But now, it appeared that he was the one seeking support from the powerful figure!
Lu Miao led Lu Yinan into the house. On the second floor, the rooms on both sides were originally occupied by Gu Jinxi and Gu Shiyan. But they had moved to the newly bought apartment because of the water leakage problem.
Lu Miao directly settled Lu Yinan into the room on her left.
She asked him to freshen up and rest, while she headed to the No. 9 mansion.
Lu Yinan’s hand injury affected the muscles and bones and required a special ointment made from specific medicinal ingredients, along with acupuncture. If everything went well, he could fully recover within a month, in time for the next season’s competition.
Gu Shiyan usually cared about this place more than her and often sent rare medicinal ingredients that were hard to find in the market.
Therefore, Lu Miao easily found all the necessary medicinal ingredients here.
She carefully measured the ingredients and put them into the alchemy machine.
After that, she went to the third floor’s temperature-controlled room to check on the medicinal plants she was cultivating. They all seemed to be doing well.
The vacuum laboratory in the villa was also completed, and the cultivation of Falling Star Herb could now begin.
After completing all her tasks, an hour had passed by the time the ointment was ready.
Holding the prepared ointment, she returned to the No. 7 mansion. As soon as she entered, she heard a clatter of noise.
Looking up in the direction of the sound, she saw Lu Yinan holding a toothbrush as a weapon in one hand and a basin he somehow found in the other, using it as a shield in front of him.
On the other side, Gu Jinxi, who seemed more familiar with the house, held a broom in one hand and a trash bin in the other. Both of them were fully armed, engaged in a mock fight.
The broom hit the basin, and the toothbrush poked at the trash bin, creating a constant clattering sound.
Lu Miao rubbed her forehead, “What are you two doing?”
Hearing her voice, Gu Jinxi immediately turned her head and was the first to complain, “Sister-in-law, this guy named Lu sneaked into our house and even occupied my room.”
“Heh, this is my sister’s house. How did it become yours?” Lu Yinan sneered.
He already knew what happened during the engagement with the Gu family; it was all a lie.
From the perspective of her brother, he naturally disliked the Gu family, especially them clinging to Lu Miao.
Gu Jinxi retorted, “It’s still my sister-in-law’s house.”
“It’s just an engagement, she’s not your sister-in-law yet.”
“Soon enough.”
Lu Miao was getting a headache, “Both of you, put down what you have in your hands.”
Gu Jinxi pointed the broom at Lu Yinan, “Let him put his down first.’
Lu Yinan used the basin to block, “He should put his down first.”
Lu Miao: ..
She genuinely felt like she was running a kindergarten!
These two, along with Gu Ziheng, were fierce outside, but once they got to her place, they became childish one after another!
Exasperated, she spoke, “If you keep fighting, both of you will be kicked out.”
At this moment, Lu Yi Nan and Gu Jinxi exchanged glances, then both put down what they were holding.
They went downstairs one after the other.
Lu Miao signaled Lu Yinan to extend his hand, checked his injury, cleaned the surface of the wound, and then earnestly performed acupuncture and applied the ointment.
Lu Yinan felt his whole hand warming up, especially at the spot where acupuncture had been done and the ointment was applied, as if a warm current wrapped around it, making him very comfortable.
“Be careful not to get it wet,” Lu Miao instructed about some precautions.
Seeing Lu Miao busy taking care of Lu Yinan, Gu Jinxi pouted, “Sister-in-law, I ranked in the top three in the mid-term exams this time. Can you accompany me to the car racing competition next month?”
“I can’t,” Lu Miao directly refused.
Gu Jinxi felt wronged, “You took care of him, why can’t you accompany me?”
“I have other things to do and can’t go with you. However, as a reward for getting into the top three, I’ll give you a surprise when the time comes,” Lu Miao said.
The surprise prepared especially for him by his sister-in-law was more precious than acupuncture.
Gu Jinxi instantly brightened, “What surprise?”
Lu Miao put away the tools on the table, “You’ll find out when the time comes.”
“Great, then thank you in advance, sister-in-law.” Gu Jinxi looked smugly at Lu
Yinan.
Lu Yinan rolled his eyes dismissively.
It was already dinner time, and Auntie Xiu was on leave and hadn’t returned yet. Lu Miao simply ordered takeout for the three of them.
“By the way, sister-in-law, some netizens spotted a dragon at the airport in the capital yesterday. You were also in the capital yesterday. Did you see it?” Gu Jinxi asked curiously while eating.
Casually, she took out her phone, opened the video app, and searched for related videos.
Many people had captured the dragon on video yesterday, and there were many clips from different angles.
Gu Jinxi randomly picked one and was about to show it to Lu Miao when she noticed a familiar figure in the corner of the video..
