Qiao Anhao and Xu Jiamu stopped in their tracks at the same time.
Xu Jiamu raised his smiling face and asked, "Bro, what's wrong?"
Lu Jinnian stared at Xu Jiamu's hands on Qiao Anhao's shoulders for a moment, then coldly averted his gaze. He handed the phone over and said in a flat and cold voice, "There's a call."
Xu Jiamu removed his hands from Qiao Anhao's shoulders and took the phone. He glanced at the caller ID, raised his hand to rub his nose, and answered the call. "Mom... I'm fine... I'm just annoyed staying at home, Qiao Qiao is by my side..."
Xu Jiamu handed the phone over to Qiao Anhao, shrugged, and said helplessly, "Mrs. Han wants you to take the call."
While Qiao Anhao was on the phone, Xu Jiamu pointed at the soup he was cooking in the kitchen and walked in.
Qiao Anhao raised the phone to her ear and shouted, "Auntie Xu."
"Qiao Qiao, you're back from France?"
Qiao Anhao let out a soft "Mmh", then Han Ruchu's voice came through again. "Jiamu's phone is off, I called you but you didn't pick up."
That was when Qiao Anhao remembered that her phone was upstairs. She hurriedly said in a warm voice, "I don't have my phone on me. Is something the matter?"
"It's nothing much, I just wanted to tell you to take good care of Jiamu. He just got out of the hospital. Even though his body's better now, he's still not as nimble as before. Don't let him drink..." Han Ruchu nagged on over the phone.
Qiao Anhao patiently responded to each and every one of them.
Even though Lu Jinnian didn't know what Han Ruchu had said, he could roughly guess what she was saying. His heart instantly darkened.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely keep an eye on Brother Jiamu and take good care of him." Qiao Anhao's voice was gentle as she slowly said this, then she hung up. Just as she was about to put the phone back on the phone, Lu Jinnian, who hadn't left yet, reached his hand out. "Give it to me."
Qiao Anhao lifted her eyelids to meet his calm gaze. His beautiful eyes were cold and emotionless. She hesitated for a moment before passing the phone to him. "Then I'll have to trouble you."
Lu Jinnian didn't make a sound. He calmly took the phone, turned around, and walked back to the living room. His back looked cold and aloof, but no one knew that his heart was bleeding.
Xu Jiamu's dinner was incomparably sumptuous. A group of people sat around the dining table. No one had even touched their chopsticks to taste the food. Just by looking at the table of delicious dishes, they all started to praise them.
"Jiamu, are you sure you got someone to do plastic surgery on your face and not on your cooking?"
Long before Xu Jiamu woke up, the Xu family had already leaked the news that they had contacted a world-class plastic surgeon to fix Xu Jiamu's face so that the real Xu Jiamu could smoothly replace the fake "Xu Jiamu".
"You don't say, Jiamu's face has recovered pretty well. There's no difference from before, you can't even tell that he was in a car accident."
"He's recovered his face. Before, when he was disfigured, young master Xu practically didn't step out of the house. Even when we came to visit, he avoided us."
"Come come come, let's toast to young master Xu's radiant face!"
