Lu Yihan's cold and arrogant gaze did not stop on Xin Yu for even a second. His tone was disdainful. "I have something to do at the company. I have to go now."
"Can't you put aside the company's matters for now?" Lu Shiyun's face darkened. "You'll accompany Xin Yu this afternoon. She's going to the hospital to see your father-in-law. It's only right that you go and see him!"
"Dad, actually, if Yihan has something to do, I can really do it alone …"
"Did you hear that?" Lu Yihan curled his lips and strode over. He reached out and placed his hand on Xin Yu's shoulder. His slender fingers slid across her cheek frivolously. "My wife is so considerate. Don't you know how to drive? There are plenty of cars in the garage. You can pick one and say hello to my father-in-law while you're at it. "
The last sentence made Xin Yu's face turn pale.
What was her father's situation? He still wanted to make her question him. He was simply mocking her!
Lu Shiyun saw that Lu Yihan had no sense of propriety. Just as he was about to flare up, another deep voice suddenly interrupted.
"I'll go with her."
Xin Yu instinctively turned her face and saw Qin Fangang slowly getting up from the sofa. Her heart trembled. At the same time, she suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder.
Lu Yihan smiled. "I don't know if I should say that you're meddling in other people's business or that you're trying hard to play the role of a 'big brother'."
"Which do you think suits you better?" Qin Fangang reached out and adjusted his collar elegantly. "Then you'll think that's the case."
"Heh, it seems that you especially like anything that belongs to me." Lu Yihan's grip on Xin Yu's shoulder tightened. He pulled her into his arms and narrowed his eyes. "Why? Are you so interested in this woman?"
Lu Shiyun stood in the middle and watched his two sons come and go. One had a fiery temper, while the other seemed gentle but was actually unfathomable. At this moment, the conversation was filled with hostility. He immediately stopped them with a cold expression.
"Enough, what are you arguing about?" He glanced at Xin Yu and his tone softened. "Xin Yu, don't take it to heart. They … don't mean to target you."
"Of course not." Qin Fangang raised his brows and looked calmly at Xin Yu. His thin lips curved slightly. "I met Miss Leng when we were in England, but at that time I didn't know that she was your daughter-in-law.......... since we're in... now that we're back...................
Qin Fangang's tone was calm, and he retracted his cold and noble attitude. At this moment, Qin Fangang really looked like a gentle big brother.
"After all, she's the only one in the Lu family who doesn't hate me."
Lu Shiyun's expression changed when he heard this. He sounded reluctant. "Fan Gang, why would we hate you? It's just that you just came back …"
He already had a deep sense of guilt towards this son of his. Qin Fangang's words, which were neither light nor heavy, seemed to have hit his soft spot. He couldn't say anything else.
Qin Fangang looked at his father's awkward expression. He smiled ambiguously and didn't continue on this topic. The moment he brushed past Lu Yihan, he looked at Xin Yu and said, "Let's go."
"Why should we go?" Lu Yihan suddenly grabbed Xin Yu's wrist and looked at Qin Fangang provocatively. "If you want to leave, leave on your own. You have no right to be nice to my wife!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled Xin Yu towards the garage. Qin Fangang's eyes darkened as he watched the slender figure stumble forward. His thin lips pursed instinctively.
"Get in the car!"
"Let go!"
The moment they reached the garage, the two of them spoke in unison.
Xin Yu flung Lu Yihan's hand away fiercely. She lowered her voice and said, "I can go to the hospital on my own."
"Ha!" Lu Yihan sneered. "Do you really think I'll accompany you to the hospital? But let me tell you, you'd better cooperate with me and get into my car. Don't worry, I'll definitely let you off halfway! "
Xin Yu looked at him in disbelief. "Lu Yihan, why are you dragging me into this matter between you and your brother? I have no obligation to act with you! "
"Shut up!" Lu Yihan opened the car door and pushed Xin Yu roughly so that she could sit in the front passenger seat. His tall body leaned against the car door as he said viciously, "I'm warning you, that illegitimate child is not my brother. If you spout nonsense again, I'll teach you a lesson! Sit down obediently, or I'll make sure your father can't stay in the hospital! "
"Lu Yihan, that's all you've got! What kind of man are you to use my father to threaten me? "
Xin Yu was so angry that she was trembling. This jerk had never looked her in the eye ever since they got married. She didn't mind, and she was relieved. But no matter how much he despised her, how could he use her father to mock her? Was he threatening her?
"Whether I'm a man or not, do you want to experience it for yourself?"
Lu Yihan shamelessly inched closer to Xin Yu's face and reached out to clasp her chin. "But even if you want to, I won't touch you! Leng Xinyu, don't pretend to be so noble and virtuous. It's as if I've wronged you. So what if I use your father to threaten you? You're just a greedy and vain woman. You're already the young mistress of the Lu family, so you should be prepared to be despised by me for the rest of your life! "
Xin Yu bit her lip and slapped away Lu Yihan's hand that was clasping her chin. She glared at him without backing down. "Lu Yihan, we've always minded our own business all these years. I know you don't like me, and it doesn't matter what you think. But in the future, I hope that we'll still stay out of each other's business … "
"Stay out of each other's business?" Lu Yihan sneered. His tone was full of mockery. "So? You don't want to be lonely and look for other men. Should I also turn a blind eye to it? "
"I don't like trash like you, and I definitely won't touch you. But remember, as long as you're still the young mistress of the Lu family, you'd better behave yourself!"
Xin Yu's expression changed abruptly, and she held her breath.
She pursed her red lips tightly, unable to refute him for a moment.
Lu Yihan's words were undoubtedly implying that she had an affair.
But now, she was really feeling guilty …
Because facing Qin Fangang, she felt a deep sense of guilt. She had indeed done something she shouldn't have done. Even if it wasn't her intention, even if it was something Lu Yihan did every day, she knew what kind of status she had in the Lu family. What she wanted to protect wasn't Lu Yihan's face —
She had suffered so much for so many years, and it was all for her father's sake.
"… You, what nonsense are you talking about?" Xin Yu quickly regained her senses and forced herself to calm down. Her tone was a little stiff as she said, "… I'm very clear about my position."
"Ha, it's best that you're clear about your position!" Lu Yihan released the handbrake and reversed the car out. After turning the car around, he stepped on the accelerator and warned her, "In the future, remember your place in the Lu family. Also, stay away from that Qin Fangang!"
…
Xin Yu bit her lip and didn't say anything. Her hands, which were on her knees, were tightly clenched into fists.
She didn't care what Lu Yihan said about her.
No matter how harsh the words were, she had experienced them from Li Muhua and Lu Yiting. His words were nothing to her.
She was nervous and uneasy now only because of Qin Fangang.
Yes, they would be living under the same roof in the future. They would see each other every day … Should she find a chance to talk to him?
It was impossible for her to move out of the Lu family's house even though she really wanted to.
However, if Qin Fangang wanted to move out, it wouldn't be a big problem.
"Get out of the car!"
Lu Yihan suddenly said as he slammed on the brakes. Xin Yu had just recovered from her thoughts. The moment she turned her head, she saw the man in the driver's seat push open the car door on her side. He looked at her coldly and said, "I don't need to repeat myself, hm?"
Xin Yu looked at the taillights of the expensive sports car that had suddenly lit up. She really felt that the two bright red taillights were mocking her for being chased out of the car.
It would be a lie to say that she didn't feel anything at all!
She had never been a saint. She had a temper too.
She had just been tolerating it all along!
This area was filled with luxury houses. That jerk Lu Yihan had left her in the middle of the road. It would take her at least an hour to get to a place where she could hail a cab …
She couldn't help but sigh. She reached out and massaged her throbbing temples. She looked at the small path beneath her feet. At a glance, it seemed like there was no end to it. However, since she was already standing there, she had to walk even if she didn't want to.
She had only taken two steps when a black car suddenly came up beside her. The driver was obviously deliberately controlling the speed of the car, and the car followed Xin Yu's footsteps.
Xin Yu knitted her delicate brows and instinctively turned to look at the car window.
The car windows were slightly tinted, so she couldn't clearly see who was in the driver's seat.
However, she had seen this car when she followed Lu Yihan to the garage earlier. It was the Lu family's car. Now that it was coincidentally following her, there wasn't much suspense as to who was driving.
She stopped in her tracks.
The car also stopped by her feet. Then the car window rolled down. Xin Yu was not surprised to see Qin Fangang sitting in the driver's seat.
He had a handsome face and a calm temperament. He held the steering wheel with one hand and pressed the center button. He said to her in a deep voice, "Get in the car."
Xin Yu bit her lip. She really wanted to turn around and leave.
However, she knew very well that this wasn't the time to be stubborn. Moreover, after what had just happened, she did have some things that she wanted to talk to him about in private.
Xin Yu didn't say much. She pulled open the car door and got in.
"I won't thank you," she said in a stiff tone.
If he hadn't said those words earlier, Lu Yihan wouldn't have even looked at her!
This man wasn't as simple as he appeared to be.
If Lu Yihan was difficult to deal with because he was arrogant and despotic with all the flaws of a hedonistic young master, then Qin Fangang entered the Lu family as an "illegitimate child" and caused Lu Shiyun to be wary of him. How simple could a man like this be?
"I don't need your thanks." Qin Fangang looked straight ahead. When he heard this, he only curved his lips. His tone was much gentler. "Which hospital is your father in?"
"I won't trouble you. Just send him to the bus stop in front of me. I'll take the bus there myself."
