Can’t Take My Eyes Off You

Lu Xingzhi did not really need Chen Xuyao to handle that matter. He knew about the film and television company. Even though it had been operating in Jindo City for two or three years, it did not have a deep foundation. Chen Xuyao, a native of Jindo City, could have easily dealt with that kind of businessman.

Someone had beaten up his wife’s brother and bullied his sister. It was not something he would tolerate.

After Lu Xingzhi sent the text message, he returned the phone to Jiang Yao. “I’ve asked Chen Xuyao to send the medicine that you left in Jin City to Xiaoxiao.”

Jiang Yao had left a lot of commonly used medicine there. Naturally, there was also a lot of medication to treat injuries.

Downstairs, Mrs. Lu and Cheng Jinnian were talking happily. Mrs. Lu asked about Cheng Jinnian’s mother, who was also Jiang Yao’s biological mother. Mrs. Lu was concerned when she knew that Cheng Jinnian’s mother was in poor health.

It was not until Moe jumped onto Mrs. Lu’s lap and looked at her that Mrs. Lu remembered that she had to go to the market to buy some chicken drumsticks for him.

“I’ll go buy them for you now.” Mrs. Lu hugged Moe in her arms and laughed. Mrs. Lu called for Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao. “Come down and accompany Xiao Nian if you have nothing to do. I’m going out now. Don’t let Xiao Nian stay downstairs alone.”

Jiang Yao, who was in the room, immediately pushed Lu Xingzhi out when she heard that. “You Go! I don’t want to go down.

Lu Xingzhi raised his hand and patted Jiang Yao’s head. He put on his clothes and opened the door to leave the bedroom.

When Lu Xingzhi went downstairs, Mrs. Lu got up to get her bag and said to Cheng Jinnian, “Stay with your brother-in-law.”

After that, Mrs. Lu turned to Lu Xingzhi and said, “Take care of Xiao Nian. Don’t neglect him.”

After that, Mrs. Lu left the house with a basket in one hand and Moe in the other.

As soon as Mrs. Lu left, Lu Xingzhi sat down beside Cheng Jinnian. The two of them stared at each other, but neither said anything. There seemed to be a battle going on in their eyes.

“Auntie said that you’ve done meritorious service this time.”

Cheng Jinnian was the first to open his mouth. However, his tone was no longer as childish as when he spoke to Mrs. Lu. Instead, he spoke like a spoiled brat. Although he had to look up at Lu Xingzhi, he had looked at the older man scornfully. “My sister has done a meritorious deed as well! A man like you can’t compare to my sister! You’re not worthy of her!”

“Even if I’m not worthy of her, I’ve still married her. I’m her husband, her man.” Lu Xingzhi crossed his legs nonchalantly. “What are you? Who are you? Did she agree for you to call her sister?”

In terms of infuriating people, Lu Xingzhi’s skill was not low at all. It was just that he did not like to open his mouth most of the time.

Then, Lu Xingzhi saw Cheng Jinnian’s pouting and sad expression. He picked up the newspaper from yesterday and read it casually.

One could not say that Lu Xingzhi was ignoring Cheng Jinnian—he was just not a talkative person. Even when he was with Jiang Yao, she would be the one speaking most of the time. Perhaps Mrs. Lu should not have asked him to entertain their guest.

Jiang Yao was quietly observing the situation downstairs. She saw Lu Xingzhi reading the newspaper while Cheng Jinnian placed his hands on his knees and remained motionless like a statue. There was no more conversation between the two of them after that.. Jiang Yao curled her lips and thought, ‘How boring.’
