Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 725 - 722: Mommy, We Are Not Three-Year-Olds Anymore

Leng Yixing stepped forward to Lu Jinyang and asked, "Shall I continue the interrogation?"

"Yes, it would be best if you can find out the exact location of the item."

"Understood!"

As Lu Jinyang wrapped his arms around Xiao Qing, intending to turn around, she brushed off his hand and walked toward Xiao Sewei.

He did not speak, silently watching her.

"Xiao Sewei, I really hope, for the sake of our familial relationship, that you can tell me what you know."

Hearing this, Xiao Sewei gave her a cold smile, "Sorry, I seem to remember saying that my father is not his estranged son, so, we have no relation at all!"

Xiao Qing’s expression turned slightly cold, "You’re really heartless."

"Am I? If you were in my shoes, maybe you wouldn’t think so. Considering I don’t particularly dislike you, let me give you a hint. The USB drive isn’t with me. Oh right, it’s with Tan Biyang."

Tan Biyang?!!!

Xiao Qing’s expression was exceedingly ugly, and so was the surprise on the faces of the two men behind her.

If it hadn’t been for Xiao Sewei bringing it up, they would have almost forgotten about that person.

"Surprising, right? The USB was given to Tan Biyang by me. Inside a subfolder within a folder, there’s a password, very secretive. I don’t know if Tan Biyang has opened it before~ But even if she wanted to open it now, she couldn’t. She might even die in there~"

Leng Yixing’s mouth dropped open in surprise, her head started to ache slightly. This situation was getting so messed up, why is Tan Biyang getting involved now?

"At this point, I’m not afraid to tell you that when I sought out Tan Biyang at first, I planned to use her as cannon fodder."

Xiao Qing’s heart violently shook. She did not expect Xiao Sewei to be so calculating and felt compassion for Tan Biyang at the same time.

If she had just stayed quietly in New City, abiding by her own business, perhaps she would have been nominated for an Actress award again.

Lu Jinyang made a snap decision, immediately contacting people in the United States to retrieve the USB drive from Tan Biyang. After taking care of these matters, he left with Xiao Qing.

Throughout the journey, Lu Jinyang didn’t utter a single word, his handsome face taut with tension.

Xiao Qing looked at him with distress and said, "It’s alright, Lu Jinyang. Xiao Sewei must be lying to you. How could I not know if I did such things myself?"

While she said this, she could not help but feel anxious inside, thoughts of the month she could not remember kept surfacing in her mind.

What if?

She dared not continue the thought.

Lu Jinyang glanced at her from the corner of his eye, "I’m not worried, but I don’t like uncertainties in my affairs." In other words, he intended to thoroughly investigate the matter.

"Mhm." Xiao Qing nodded and looked ahead, "We are going back to the mansion today~"

Suddenly remembering something, she internally cursed, "Isn’t there a party supposed to be held tonight in New City? But now we... "

"Canceled. Make the call now."

"Huh?"

Seeing that Xiao Qing did not understand his meaning, he handed her the cell phone, "Call Guan Juntao. Tonight’s party is canceled, to be rescheduled for a later date."

"Oh~ Okay."

...

Throughout the day, Xiao Qing was out of sorts.

While playing with Big Treasure and Little Treasure, every time they called her, she answered, and then continued to be lost in thought. After a few such cycles, both Big Treasure and Little Treasure became quite anxious.

"Mommy, why aren’t you happy today?"

Xiao Qing was slightly stunned. Was her state of mind that obvious? 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

To avoid worrying the children, Xiao Qing forced a smile, "Mommy isn’t unhappy, just thinking about some things."

Big Treasure looked disgusted, "Mommy, we’re not three-year-old kids anymore~"
