His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

Shi Guang took in a deep breath, acting as though that was the only way she could soothe her emotions before looking at Shen Lingshuang. “Mummy, it’s all my fault! Yanchen only got angry because I was throwing a tantrum! And thank you so much, mummy! If not because you promised to accompany me, I wouldn’t have come over to apologize.”

Those words were indirectly informing everyone that Shen Lingshuang did not want to come back on her own accord and was forced back by Shi Guang.

Su Liping smiled and looked at Chief Lu. “You guys have your family affairs to settle. I’ll go and rest first.”

Chief Lu was polite toward Su Liping as he nodded his head.

As though she had only just seen the guest, Shi Guang greeted her first. “Hello, auntie!”

Chief Lu went with the flow and introduced her. “This is my daughter-in-law, Fourth’s wife.”

Su Liping gave Shi Guang a sweet smile. “Hello! Thank you for everything. You seem to be around the age of my daughter… You guys can hang out together when you’re free.”

Shi Guang replied with a smile, “Sure!”

Seeing Shi Guang’s response, Chief Lu was still rather pleased. But, when he looked at Shen Lingshuang, he could not help but get worked up again.

Shen Lingshuang’s face was equally terrible when she met with Chief Lu’s gaze, looking stern and cold.

Looking at how Shen Lingshuang was losing her tact due to envy and was about to clash with Chief Lu again, Shi Guang leaned on her in a wobble. “Mummy, our place is a little small. Since that villa of Yanchen’s is empty, how about letting Auntie Su stay there?”

Before Shen Lingshuang even said anything, Su Liping rejected amicably, “It’s alright! We’re only staying here for a couple of days, and we’ll move out once the house is ready. Alright, I’ll head to rest first and not disturb you guys anymore.”

With that, she turned around and left.

Chief Lu did not arrange for them to stay in the guestroom of the main building, but in the small yard behind the main building where the guards and the workers would normally stay.

Seeing this arrangement, Shi Guang was extremely pleased, and her opinion of Chief Lu in her heart had been raised once more.

“Alright, now that you guys are all good, let’s go back together.” Shen Lingshuang’s words were clear—she still wanted to leave with Lu Yanchen and Shi Guang.

Instantly, Chief Lu’s face darkened once more.

Shi Guang rubbed her temple weakly and said to Shen Lingshuang, “Mummy, I’m feeling a little tired.”

She then gave Lu Yanchen a hinting look. Naturally, he knew what she was up to and went up to support her. “I’ll bring you upstairs to rest.”

“Sigh, you two…!” Looking at her own son and daughter-in-law who had abandoned her, Shen Lingshuang sat down on the sofa in a huff and turned her back against Chief Lu, expressing the complete displeasure in her heart.

When the imposing and domineering Chief Lu spotted that there was no one else around, he rubbed his nose and sat down opposite Shen Lingshuang. “You’re angry?”

Shen Lingshuang glared at him before jerking her head away, not wanting to look at him.

“Don’t be angry anymore. You saw it for yourself! Aren’t they just staying at the back? Just take them as those guards and helpers around the house,” Chief Lu said in a gentle voice.

“But, you’re still letting them stay!”

“How many times must I tell you before you’ll believe me? It’s already been so many years… I don’t like her!” He went over beside Shen Lingshuang and hugged her. “I know that you don’t like her either, but her husband was my best friend since I was young. Now that he’s gone from this world and they’ve returned to the country, I really have to help out a little at least.”

As for Shi Guang and Lu Yanchen who were upstairs, both of them did not return to their room, and were tiptoeing instead, listening in with their ears stretched out. This was especially the case for Shi Guang, who was almost even leaning in with half her entire body.

When Lu Yanchen saw that his parents were fine, he carried Shi Guang back into their room.
