She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!-Chapter 322 - 321: Her Husband Married Her While Waiting for Someone Else to Transmigrate (33)
"Why hasn’t the eldest come down yet?" During breakfast, Lu Mingxue noticed something was off. His usually early-rising eldest son hadn’t come down for breakfast. "Is he feeling unwell? Wu Ma, go see what’s up."
After sending someone to call Lu Fengqiu, he resumed eating breakfast.
Lu Wangqiu didn’t say anything, but his gaze fell on Ah Chen, who acted as if nothing was wrong.
How could she calmly eat breakfast and not fear that he would expose everything?
But right now, he really didn’t plan to expose it. Once he spoke up, his own secrets would be uncovered, causing a lot of trouble and possibly bringing negative effects on Bai Ying.
Ah Chen glanced at him briefly, smiled, and continued with her breakfast.
The change in Lu Fengqiu couldn’t be hidden, and he would see how they dealt with it later.
"Second son, why does your face look a bit swollen?" Lu Mingxue noticed Lu Wangqiu’s face and couldn’t help but frown. "Got into a fight again?"
It wasn’t unusual for him to ask this. When he was younger, Lu Wangqiu often got into fights, coming home with a bruised face as a common occurrence, even having had fractures before.
He was quite busy, and it was Bai Huimei who would take people to deal with it. This brat had not caused her fewer problems.
"Nothing like that, just a minor work accident." Lu Wangqiu said nonchalantly, but his eyes showed resentment when looking at Ah Chen. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
What else could it be? It was Bai Chen who hit him.
Thinking about Bai Ying always having to face her father made his heart tighten; he still didn’t know how to get through this situation.
Just then, Bai Ying came down slowly. Yesterday, Lu Wangqiu had taught her quite a bit, and she tried hard to make her behavior more like Lu Fengqiu.
Sitting down, she took a deep breath, greeted everyone with a cool tone, and didn’t explain anything. According to Lu Wangqiu, Lu Fengqiu didn’t like explaining himself, not even to his father, Lu Mingxue.
Lu Mingxue didn’t pay much attention and didn’t immediately notice anything peculiar about Lu Fengqiu.
Until they both headed out, and Lu Mingxue asked Bai Ying about a company project, she was completely at a loss and didn’t notice the steps, causing her to fall down.
Bai Ying let out a scream.
Lagging behind, Lu Wangqiu clenched his fists and cursed under his breath. Damn, is it so easy to get exposed once you step outside?
"Quickly, help Fengqiu up," Bai Huimei quickly instructed someone. How could there be a fall early in the morning? This might set a bad tone for the day.
Bai Ying was helped up by the household staff, the pain causing her eyes to well up as she gently rubbed her arm.
Suddenly, she sensed Lu Mingxue’s gaze. Upon lifting her head, she was met with his probing eyes, causing her to instinctively take two steps back in fright.
Oh no, would she be seen through like this?
Ah Chen followed the crowd out, not saying much, but met with a vicious glare from Lu Wangqiu, as if blaming her for everything, thinking of her as utterly reprehensible.
"Eldest son, come with me to the study." Lu Mingxue dropped this comment, fished out his phone, and called his assistant, "I’ll be late to the company, rearrange my schedule, probably be an hour late."
Bai Huimei said, "Do you want to check where he got hurt first and apply some medicine?"
Lu Fengqiu was acting a bit strange today, but she didn’t think much of it, only noticing a scrape on his hand. As a stepmother, she couldn’t do much else, but identifying where a child was hurt was something she’d notice immediately.
"Not for now, we’ll see later. This little injury won’t kill him," Lu Mingxue said. The eldest was acting very strangely, he needed to find out what was going on.
His expression darkened, thinking about Yu Xiaoran’s situation from some time ago.
He hadn’t interacted much back then, thinking the other party was either amnesiac or possessed. Now, with the eldest also showing odd behavior, he couldn’t help but consider other possibilities.
In fact, upon closer thought, Yu Xiaoran might have another case, maybe it’s not possession or amnesia, could it be that situation?
His pace quickened.
He didn’t bother with Bai Ying behind, seemingly knowing she’d follow.
Bai Ying glanced at Lu Wangqiu; he followed too, appearing to enter along with them. She sighed in relief, having someone with her was good, otherwise, she’d really be afraid to face Lu Mingxue alone.
This uncle had a cold demeanor that was still somewhat intimidating.
"Mom, don’t worry, big brother seems fine, should be okay." Ah Chen consoled Bai Huimei, linking arms.
Bai Huimei patted her and said, "Falling and then being called to the study, it feels strange to me. Your big brother this morning... really seemed a bit unusual."
Lu Fengqiu had grown up under her watchful eye; she knew his temperament better than anyone, possibly even better than Lu Mingxue did about the two brothers.
If you asked how much motherly love she had for the two brothers, there really wasn’t much. Everything she did was for Lu Mingxue. He was her husband, and he had pulled her out of a rut, so it’s her responsibility and obligation to take care of Lu Fengqiu and Lu Wangqiu.
"Big brother is an adult now, mom doesn’t need to worry."
Bai Huimei nodded, ever since the two brothers became adults, they really hadn’t caused her much worry. They didn’t like her meddling, so she naturally wouldn’t interfere too much.
Study.
Lu Mingxue noticed Lu Wangqiu following in too and glanced between the two, having some comprehension. The second son probably already knew about the eldest’s anomaly.
"What’s going on?" he asked.
Bai Ying shivered at this stern voice.
This scene fell into Lu Mingxue’s eyes, confirming even more that the person in front of him wasn’t his eldest son. Oldest sons might seem silent at home but are actually stubborn, much more difficult to deal with than the second.
When the eldest was very young, he wasn’t afraid of reprimands, much less would he tremble from a single word.
"Second son, you tell me, you must know what’s going on, right?"
Lu Wangqiu felt a pang of bitterness, knowing he couldn’t deceive his dad, but he hadn’t expected to be exposed so quickly.
"If you don’t speak, I’ll have no choice but to send the eldest to a mental hospital." Lu Mingxue’s gaze turned cold. Lu Fengqiu was his son, he would never allow someone inexplicable to replace him, this wasn’t like the situation from over twenty years ago.
At this point, he was also certain that the eldest’s situation was quite similar to what happened to Xu Chang two decades ago.
Now, the entity on the eldest, could it be the same kind as hers? If it’s of her kind, it might leave eventually, thus there’s no need to worry too much.
He knew nothing of the mysterious, only having his own suspicions.
The memories locked away had surfaced in an instant, recalling the past still left him nostalgic. Happiness was fleeting, and that matter was over twenty years ago, it was no longer possible now, reality has long been acknowledged.
"Dad, things are a bit complicated." Lu Wangqiu, realizing there was no concealing it now, could only begin, "Right now, it’s indeed not the eldest brother. Her name is Bai Ying, the reason she’s on the eldest’s body is all because of Yu Xiaoran."
"Yu Xiaoran, to shake her off, transferred her onto the eldest’s body."
He did think about involving Bai Chen, but was a bit worried about provoking Bai Chen to the point of flipping the table.
If Bai Chen divulged their plans and intentions, his dad might not side with them.
Better to pin it on Yu Xiaoran, as the latter probably wouldn’t want the secret of reincarnation exposed and might take the fall.
Lu Wangqiu thought Lu Mingxue would be angry and slam the table, but surprisingly, he didn’t. Instead, he just asked, "What’s your name?"
Bai Ying replied faintly, "Bai Ying."
Lu Mingxue asked again, "Do you remember things about your family?"
Even though he knew she probably wouldn’t remember, he still wanted to ask.
