Chapter 144 -141: She Took a Fancy to Lu Xiao
As soon as Lu Xiao appeared, he instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
Especially the Qin Family members.
Qin Yuyan stared at him blankly, seemingly unable to shift her gaze.
Lu Xiao…
She hadn’t expected that after so many years, he would be even more dazzling and more striking than when he was younger…
Yes, she should have thought of it. Even as a youth, that boy had already been outstanding and arrogant. After entering military school and then joining the armed forces, experiencing trials and temperance, he had only become more exceptional and unreachable.
Qin Yuyan looked at him blankly, her breathing suddenly becoming erratic.
He, he just said that he has a fiancée… didn’t he?
Meanwhile,
Qin’s mother looked at Lu Xiao, examining him meticulously, and obviously she hadn’t expected the Lu Family’s son to be even more extraordinary than she had imagined.
Where he is working now doesn’t matter; he can’t possibly stay there forever.
The strong family background of the Lu Family was what she valued more.
So when she spoke again, she smiled slightly, “This child, we haven’t seen him in so many years, and now he has really become a fine man. But what did you just say? You said your… fiancée is coming over soon…?”
Lu Xiao’s expression was indifferent, he hummed faintly through his nose, his gaze directly meeting that of his parents, his tone light, “I didn’t manage to inform you yesterday. It was a last-minute decision, she insisted on coming to see you both.”
Upon hearing this, Lu’s father and Lu’s mother, whose hearts were already trembling, felt even more unsettled.
Lu’s mother hurriedly said, “Is that true, son, is your girlfriend really coming over!?”
Honestly, this news really made her, an old mother, nervous – especially since they had been resentful before that he had lied about having a girlfriend.

But now, in the blink of an eye, his fiancée was about to visit them.
How could they not be excited?
Lu’s father, a usually composed, seasoned man, seemed somewhat unsettled as well. Looking at his hospital clothes and then back at Lu Xiao, he furrowed his brows:
“Son, how could you not mention such big news earlier, at least let me change into proper clothes.”
Now that his girlfriend was coming over, Lu’s father realized that he had been telling the truth.
After a while of silence, Qin’s mother couldn’t resist chiming in with a laugh, “Old Lu, don’t be so excited. But you know, usually, it’s the man who brings the woman to meet the parents, yet Lu Xiao just said it’s she who insisted on visiting…”
As she spoke, she chuckled, “Such an assertive girl, it’s my first time seeing one like that.”
The underlying meaning of her words couldn’t be more clear.
Upon this remark—
Not only did Lu’s father and Lu’s mother frown and feel displeased, even Li Zaijun couldn’t hold back. She directly retorted, “My sister-in-law is just too busy. Aunt Qin, surely you don’t think everyone is as idle as you, meddling in other people’s business?”
She was straightforward and hated those who beat around the bush.
What, she wanted her daughter to be her brother’s girlfriend, and when that didn’t happen, she became jealous?
As her words fell, the expression of the Qin Family members immediately became: “…”
Lu’s mother felt considerably relieved inside, but she also signaled Li Zaijun with her eyes, asking her to keep it under control, to not make things too tense.
Lu’s father also felt the atmosphere had gotten a bit awkward, so after a moment of silence, he turned on the TV to try to lighten the mood.
However, as soon as the TV was turned on, a scene suddenly appeared on the screen—!
Lu Xiao heard a familiar woman’s voice coming from the TV, hesitated briefly, and his slender, sharp eyes looked over.
