Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 1012 - 1009: Be Honest with Mom—Did You Bully Her?

Kid: "..." It’s as if we’re not from the same womb or something.

Leng Shuangshuang listened to this and kept laughing, feeling much more at ease. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Lu Jincheng sitting there looking down at his phone, not participating in their conversation.

Lu Xinyun noticed Lu Jincheng sitting there, not fitting in at all, so she sat next to him and whispered, "Bro, are you still not sober?"

Lu Jincheng finally raised his head, "Do I look like someone who’s drunk?"

She nodded and whispered in his ear, "Nangong Xuan told me last night that you were drunk, and quite heavily."

She originally thought she could see something on Lu Jincheng’s face, but he simply glanced at her indifferently and said, "You’d rather believe him than me?" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Ahem~ that’s another matter altogether. Besides, didn’t Shuang’er check on you last night? I asked her, and she said she went home as soon as she confirmed you were okay." After saying this, Lu Xinyun stared at his face without blinking, afraid of missing any expression on his face.

However, Lu Jincheng’s composure was far superior, so she couldn’t see any change in expression even after staring for a while.

After a few minutes passed, Lu Jincheng was still engrossed in his phone, completely ignoring her. Defeated, Lu Xinyun returned to sit beside Leng Shuangshuang, no longer bothering with the reticent one.

No one knew what kind of turmoil Lu Jincheng felt inside when he heard Lu Xinyun’s words.

Leng Shuangshuang lied to Lu Xinyun!

Last night, she didn’t go home at all but spent the entire night with him.

Thinking of how docile she was under him last night, his heart ached. This woman, after going through such distress again, still chose not to tell anyone, insisting on bearing it on her own.

The more she acted this way, the more he felt troubled.

If she doesn’t say it, neither will he. He wanted to see who would break first.

After dinner, as Leng Yixing’s family was leaving, Lu Xinyun and the kid went out to see them off, but Lu Jincheng returned to his room.

Hearing the voices downstairs, he paused for a moment, then finally walked onto the balcony, just in time to see the car slowly driving away. He pressed his thin lips together and stood on the balcony watching in the direction the car had disappeared.

When Xiao Qing walked in and didn’t see Lu Jincheng in the room, she thought he had gone out. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Lu Jincheng coming in from the balcony.

Seeing Xiao Qing, he was slightly startled, "Mom, are you looking for me?"

Xiao Qing sat on the sofa, gesturing for him to sit next to her, "Jincheng, you haven’t been yourself lately. Is it because of too much work? Are you too tired?"

Before he could speak, she continued, "If that’s the case, I’ll have your dad go to work tomorrow and let you rest at home."

He smiled wryly, "You’re overthinking it. Psychology says no one can stay excited 24 hours a day, nor can anyone be happy every day of the year for 365 days."

"You child, what’s the point of saying all this? I just wanted to know, is it because your dad messed up your engagement recently that you’re upset?"

He shook his head.

"Then what is it?"

He sighed helplessly, "Mom, please don’t ask. I’m old enough to handle my own affairs."

Xiao Qing pretended not to hear him, "I also noticed Shuang’er hasn’t been in a good mood lately. Now be honest with Mom, did you bully her?"
