My Billionaire Husband Claimed Me His Precious-Chapter 645 - 564: Inviting the Wolf into the House

"It’s a misunderstanding. What I meant was... forget it, I didn’t mean anything."

Lu Qing reached out and stroked her hair:

"Don’t worry. He’s so precocious, he knows everything he needs to know."

"Oh."

"By the way, the editor will come over tomorrow."

"Really? Thank you, hubby."

"No need to thank me yet. Just edit the film well, and then you can devote yourself to me."

Devote herself to him... Fine, that was just his usual style.

However, before that, they still needed to return to the old residence—the old master had summoned them.

Lu Xing would be there too. He seemed to have done a good job of pleasing the old master, even replacing the caregiver Lu Qing had arranged for him with a younger, seemingly more professional woman.

Although there had been issues within the company recently, to avoid upsetting the elderly man, they had kept it from him. Yet, the old master already knew and had called Lu Qing into the study to explain.

Inside the study, the old master’s condition seemed to have improved noticeably, his complexion even a bit rosy.

However, his brows were tightly furrowed:

"If it weren’t for Lu Xing telling me, I wouldn’t have known the company was in such trouble. How could you be involved in a murder case?"

"Someone framed me. I’ve already resolved it."

"But the company’s stock has dropped so low. How long were you planning to keep this from me?"

The old master coughed a few more times and said gravely:

"As the head of the Lu Family, you must be mindful of every word and action. Never allow anyone to have anything on you. Has this matter been thoroughly investigated—who’s behind it?"

"It’s still under investigation."

"In that case, let Lu Xing join the company to help you. He’s a Lu Family member. From what I see, he’s capable and clever. You can entrust him with some tasks."

"I disagree."

"You don’t have a choice! Don’t let yourself get tricked, Lu Qing. Previously, I worried you and Miao Miao didn’t get along well. But now, I’m starting to think being too close isn’t good either. She’s no longer that helpless orphan. Behind her now stands Mr. Su—a man of extraordinary influence. Be cautious not to get schemed against."

The old master’s words revealed his wariness toward Mr. Su. When Qin Miaomiao was alone back then, she was easier to manage.

But now, it was becoming increasingly difficult. Her maternal family’s power was too strong. From the current perspective, Qin Miaomiao’s biggest ally now was Mr. Su.

Would someone with that much ambition truly not harbor any intentions toward the Lu Family?

With Lu Qing doting on Qin Miaomiao so much now, who could say whether he might be swayed by her?

It was one thing when she had no support, but with backing, the situation was entirely different.

"Grandfather, did someone tell you nonsense?"

"Lu Qing, you’re a man. Don’t let a woman manipulate you. The place you’re living in now—isn’t Mr. Su living there with you?"

From the look on the old master’s face, he seemed particularly displeased about this.

"You need to keep your own wife in check. Also, this matter is heavily impacting the company. Letting your younger brother help you will be better for you."

Lu Qing responded indifferently:

"If Grandfather thinks it’s necessary, then let him come."

"Lu Qing, remember this—blood is thicker than water. You and your brother are bound by blood. That’s what truly matters."

"Grandfather, don’t forget—brotherly feuds are common too."

The old master looked at his cold demeanor and felt even more strongly about fostering closeness between the two brothers. Yet, he completely misunderstood.

Lu Qing harbored deep reservations about Lu Xing. Moreover, Lu Xing was far from a harmless person. Inviting trouble into their midst would only create more problems.
