God of Racing-Chapter 417 - 410

Seven years ago, Mu Qinglan had met Mrs. Lu.

After seven years, meeting this lady again, Mu Qinglan only felt that she was even more intimidating than before.

In the small villa’s living room, Mu Qinglan stood with her hands clasped in front of her, head bowed low, not daring to breathe audibly, or raise her eyes to look at Mrs. Lu even once.

Mrs. Lu curled her lips, yet there wasn’t a hint of a smile. Her slender fingers lifted the cup for a sip and then set it down again.

"Are you very nervous? Afraid of me?" Mrs. Lu lifted her eyes, smiling but not smiling.

"No, not really..." Mu Qinglan’s nervous body trembled slightly.

"Hmph." Mrs. Lu sneered indifferently, "Do you know why I’ve come to see you?"

"Uh..." Mu Qinglan slowly lifted her head, looking bewildered, "No, I don’t know."

Mrs. Lu stared at her intently, as if trying to find a flaw in her answer, but Mu Qinglan simply appeared very fearful.

"Tch." Mrs. Lu shook her head with a light smile, understanding internally, "You are Jinxuan’s person, there’s no need to say... naturally you’re on her side. It seems Tang Yueze acted swiftly, already informed you... You surely wouldn’t say a word about anything, would you?"

In her anxiety, Mu Qinglan blurted out, "Madam, I really don’t know anything! The young master keeps me, but he never talks to me about his matters!"

"Hmm." Mrs. Lu nodded, "My son, naturally should be like that... but do you really know nothing at all?"

"..." Mu Qinglan was stupefied, she naturally knew some things.

Tang Yueze had informed her that the lady had come to Donghua to ’catch’ the young master, asking her to be mindful of her words... Now that the lady had found her here, it was clear the young master was deliberately avoiding her. Where could the young master go? The only person Mu Qinglan could think of was Yu Sangwan!

But... she couldn’t say it.

These changes in her expression were all caught by Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu smiled faintly, "Are you worried that if the news leaks from you, Jinxuan would blame you in the future? Hmm?"

"..." Mu Qinglan was taken aback, her simple thoughts had been easily pierced by Mrs. Lu.

"Hmph." Mrs. Lu mocked, "At your age, you still want to play mind games with me?"

"No, I wouldn’t dare..." Mu Qinglan lowered her head in fear.

Mrs. Lu stood up and walked closer, "Mu Qinglan, you... I don’t take you seriously at all. In such a large family as the Lu Family, it’s natural for Jinxuan to keep a few women outside, and as a mother, I’ll turn a blind eye... Do you know why I tolerate you?"

"..." Mu Qinglan shook her head frantically.

"Because you... are obedient and ordinary enough!"

Mrs. Lu lowered her eyes, full of disdain, "You won’t covet the position of Lu Jinxuan’s wife, you’ll hide dutifully behind him, as I said... am I right?"

Hearing this, Mu Qinglan fell to her knees with a ’thud’, "Madam, Qinglan swears, never thought about those unrealistic things! Qinglan only hopes to stay safely by the young master’s side!"

"Hmph."

Mrs. Lu curled her lips in satisfaction, bending down to stare at Mu Qinglan, "But... right now, you’re not doing enough!"

"..." Mu Qinglan was shocked, realizing the lady knew everything, "But madam, I can do very little... after all, the young master treats me..."

"That depends on how you act!" Mrs. Lu straightened up, biting her teeth in hate, "If you’re not hard enough on yourself, how can you be hard on others?"

Mu Qinglan was perplexed, "Madam, I don’t understand what you mean..."

Mrs. Lu squinted her eyes, smiling deeply, "Listen... if you want to stay by Jinxuan’s side, you must help him... walk the path he should walk, understand? I’ve been staying here for so many days, it’s time I leave... staying here will only make our mother-son relationship more stiff."

As she turned to leave, she glanced at Mu Qinglan, "It’s up to you now."

"..."

Watching Mrs. Lu’s departing figure, Mu Qinglan lost balance and fell to the ground... On her? What could she do? She had always been unrequited towards Lu Jinxuan!

Back at the Original House, Mrs. Lu went to see Tang Yueze.

"Madam." Tang Yueze supported his back injury, standing to pay his respects.

Mrs. Lu furrowed her brow and waved him down, "You better lie back down! I’ve wronged you this time."

"No, Madam is exaggerating." Tang Yueze dared not sit, still standing.

"I can’t get through to Jinxuan, and with a brother like you by his side, what can I do to him?" Mrs. Lu smiled bitterly, "You all think I want to harm him, right? There’s no mother in the world who doesn’t love her own child."

"..." Tang Yueze was slightly startled, "Madam..."

Mrs. Lu raised her hand to stop him, "I’m returning to the Holy City soon, tell him he doesn’t need to hide anymore, and let him think... who I am doing this for!"

After speaking, she turned to leave.

"Yes." Tang Yueze lowered his head respectfully, "Madam, take care!"

At the door, Lu Feixuan peeked out half of her head, looking reluctantly at Tang Yueze.

Seeing her daughter like this, Mrs. Lu frowned, "Feixuan! A girl, leaning at a man’s door, what does that look like?"

Scared by her mother’s words, Lu Feixuan immediately turned and ran off.

"Yuezhe." Mrs. Lu turned back, glaring at Tang Yueze, "You..."

Without saying a word, Tang Yueze already understood and bowed, saying, "Madam, rest assured, I am wholeheartedly devoted to serving the young master... nothing else has crossed my mind."

Hearing his response, Mrs. Lu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "You are a good child, keep to your duties, the Lu Family will not mistreat you!"

"Yes, I will remember Madam’s teachings."

Mrs. Lu left, leaving Tang Yueze with his head lowered for a long time, those wounds on his back... activated every nerve, it really hurts!

Tokyo University, teaching building.

Yu Sangwan was inside studying independently, while Lu Jinxuan lay next to her with his eyes closed, resting.

The phone on the desk suddenly rang, flashing the name ’Tang Yueze.’

Yu Sangwan saw it, picked it up, and handed it to Lu Jinxuan, "It’s for you."

Lu Jinxuan frowned, opened his eyes, and stepped out to take the call, "Mm, I..."

"Young master, Madam has gone back." Tang Yueze reported truthfully.

"What?" Lu Jinxuan couldn’t help but be surprised, clearly not expecting his mother to give up so quickly this time.

Tang Yueze was also puzzled, "I’m not sure what Madam is thinking, but she has indeed returned to the Holy City... Young master, where are you now? Should I come pick you up?"

"..." Lu Jinxuan didn’t speak, instead, he glanced back at the study room.

These past two days, Yu Sangwan ignored him, neither angry nor causing issues, too indifferent towards him. He didn’t know what he had done wrong... It wasn’t the right time to go back now.

"I..." Lu Jinxuan hesitated, "I won’t return for the time being."

Tang Yueze was slightly startled, "This..."

He immediately thought it must be because of Yu Sangwan, "Young master, you can bring Miss Yu back with you! Just like before, with Madam not around, no one can stop you."

"..." Lu Jinxuan frowned and sighed, "If only I had the ability..."

"What?" Tang Yueze was surprised, thinking he might have heard wrong.

Turning his head, Lu Jinxuan noticed that the seat Yu Sangwan was sitting in was empty! Where did she go in the blink of an eye?

"We’ll talk later!" Lu Jinxuan, in a panic, hurriedly hung up.

In the study room, Yu Sangwan was nowhere to be seen. Panic-stricken, Lu Jinxuan dashed out, running around, "Wanwan!"

But, where could Yu Sangwan be?

At the entrance of the restroom, Lu Jinxuan, hands on his knees, half-squatted as the door opened and Yu Sangwan came out. Seeing Lu Jinxuan panting heavily and breaking into a sweat, she couldn’t help but be surprised, "Did you... did you just go for a run?"

"Where did you go?" The moment Lu Jinxuan saw her, his eyes nearly split open; he rushed forward and pulled her with a roar.

"I..." Yu Sangwan confusedly pointed to the restroom, "You were on the phone, I just took a quick bathroom break!"

"You..." Lu Jinxuan, both angry and annoyed, couldn’t hide it on his face, "Couldn’t you at least tell me? Didn’t you think I’d be worried?"

Yu Sangwan was stunned, "You were worried about me just going to the bathroom?"

"Yu Sangwan!" Lu Jinxuan tightened his grip, causing her pain.

"Ah..." Yu Sangwan exclaimed, "It hurts!"

Lu Jinxuan had been holding it in for days, "What exactly are you unhappy with about me? What have I done to upset you? Why are you so hot and cold towards me?"

Hot and cold?

Yu Sangwan couldn’t help but laugh, "Lu Jinxuan, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have brought it up... Since you did, let me make it clear! It’s not me who’s being hot and cold! It’s you! Do you find it ridiculous? One moment you’re hugging and kissing me, the next moment you’re telling me to get lost?"

"..."

Lu Jinxuan was dumbfounded, "I... said such words?"

"Yes!" Yu Sangwan, now riled up, returned to the study room to pack her bag and head back.

Lu Jinxuan, his mind blank, followed her all the way.

Yu Sangwan suddenly stopped in her tracks, pulled out her phone to call Tang Yueze back, "Mr. Tang! Could you tell me, can he go back now? Are your matters settled?"

"..." Tang Yueze, suddenly receiving this call, didn’t know how to respond, "Miss Yu..."

Yu Sangwan glared at Lu Jinxuan with resentment, "We’re at Tokyo University now, come pick him up! This lunatic, I don’t want to see him for another second! He’s crazy, absolutely crazy!"

With a ’snap,’ Yu Sangwan hung up, casting a cold glance at Lu Jinxuan. "Don’t come closer, just stay right there!"

Under the streetlamp, Lu Jinxuan stood straight, while Yu Sangwan sat on the flower bed. They weren’t far apart, yet not a single word was exchanged.

"Wanwan..." Lu Jinxuan tried to inch closer to Yu Sangwan.

"Stay away from me!" Yu Sangwan snarled at him, her resistance evident. She couldn’t forget how he had spoken to her that night!

...Are you that cheap? Eagerly throwing yourself at a man?

Lu Jinxuan was bewildered, while at the school gate, Tang Yueze’s car arrived with a screeching halt, interrupting their confrontation.
