The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 723 - 196: Would He So Easily Acknowledge Another Woman as the Lu Family’s Young Mistress?

Xu Qian had just come down from the second floor at this moment, and immediately saw Yu Xia sitting with Lu Tianming. Her steps halted abruptly, and she stood still at the top of the staircase without descending.

Lu Tianming had already informed her that Yu Xia and Elder Yu would be coming over, but she hadn’t expected them to arrive so soon.

Thinking about her son’s bedroom on the second floor, where her son’s ’fiancée’ in name still lay, Xu Qian suddenly felt a headache coming on. What on earth is going on with one thing after another?

"Auntie Lu..." Yu Xia was the first to notice Xu Qian standing at the top of the staircase and stood up very politely to greet her.

All eyes were on Xu Qian. Even Yu Xia’s parents nodded and greeted her respectfully, but only Lu Tianming looked at Xu Qian with a somewhat obscure and unclear gaze, yet he did not speak.

Xu Qian came down from upstairs, pulling up the corners of her mouth to show a gentle smile, her voice soft and pleasant, "You’re here. Please, have a seat. We’ll be having dinner soon."

For the moment, she didn’t know what to say. Everybody seemed to have gathered here all at once, and it wasn’t as if they often visited on normal days. Just how fond of her son were Yu Xia’s parents to want Jingchen to marry Yu Xia? They were all too aware of that.

After all, she had once held Yu Xia in very high regard as a daughter-in-law.

Regrettably, over the years, she had never seen a spark between her son and the girl Yu Xia. Instead, her son had brought back another woman and said they were already married.

It’s not that she disliked Song Qiao. Xu Qian quite favored the girl who had made a good impression on her at first sight. There weren’t many girls who could make such an impression the first time they met, but ultimately, without really understanding her, Xu Qian didn’t know what kind of person she was. If she had to compare, she still preferred Yu Xia, the girl she had watched grow up from a young age.

"Auntie Lu." After saying a few words to Elder Lu and receiving a nod from him, Yu Xia stood up and walked straight to Xu Qian. She always had a smile on her face as she said, "Is Jingchen upstairs? Can I go up to see him now?"

She hadn’t expected Jingchen to be back today. What a coincidence.

That day at the hospital, this man had stood her up, and she had not yet had the chance to settle accounts with him.

And... had he not mentioned to Uncle Lu and Auntie Lu that he was married already?

If that was really the case... Yu Xia furrowed her brows involuntarily, hesitating whether she should inform Uncle Lu and Auntie Lu on his behalf, and at the same time let her parents know that their favored son-in-law was already married to another woman.

As soon as Yu Xia got home, she had to listen to her father praising Lu Jingchen on how good and capable he was, and what a great life she’d have if she married him... It was unbearable to her, it was like brainwashing.

Xu Qian was taken aback, and instinctively nodded her head, just about to say something, but Yu Xia had already turned and headed upstairs.

Xu Qian’s expression changed as she watched Yu Xia quickly run to the second floor, disappearing from view, and for a moment, she didn’t know what she should do.

Meanwhile, Lu Tianming retracted his gaze and started chatting with Yu Xia’s father. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Yu Xia’s mother also stood up, walked directly to Xu Qian, and with a slight smile said, "Ah Qian, it’s been a long time since we’ve had a good chat. Shall we talk?"

Xu Qian gathered her emotions and smiled, "Sure."

As for the matter between her son and Yu Xia, Xu Qian had given up the idea of meddling.

These things, she wouldn’t handle anymore; they would have to resolve it themselves.

...

At the door of Lu Jingchen’s room on the second floor, the man slightly furrowed his brows as he looked at Yu Xia in front of him, his expression very indifferent, hard to tell what he was feeling, "Why are you here?"

Yu Xia sized up Lu Jingchen, with a slight smirk on her lips, she responded, "Of course, I’m here to visit your place... Hey, you don’t have to look at me like that. I was dragged here by my old man under threats and bribes, you think I wanted to come here? Who knew you’d also be back today..."

Lu Jingchen, one hand in his pocket, the other by his side, glanced towards the direction of the stairs and spoke indifferently, "It seems the old man hasn’t given up on the idea of you becoming the Young Mistress of the Lu Family."
