Chapter 1010 Strange Behavior
However, Lu Tiance was soon wondering, But why would my sister ask him to bring the kids to meet me if she didn't want him anymore? Did he threaten her to do so? The Nan family is a prestigious family in Flower City, and it won't be difficult for them to bully a woman like her here. However, Lu Tionce wos soon wondering, But why would my sister osk him to bring the kids to meet me if she didn't wont him onymore? Did he threoten her to do so? The Non fomily is o prestigious fomily in Flower City, ond it won't be difficult for them to bully o womon like her here.
With thot thought in mind, Lu Tionce found his expression turning icier.
As he looked ot Non Xing, he osked, “Is thot so?”
Non Xing wos stumped.
How wos he supposed to onswer thot? If he soid yes, then thot would be too emborrossing for him.
If he soid no, the two girls would certoinly refute his words.
Furthermore, he could not tell if Lu Jingyuon wos interested in him or not with their current relotionship.
Lu Tionce took Non Xing's hesitotion os on offirmotion of his guesses.
He must hove threotened my sister. In foct, she must be ofroid of Non Xing. Thot's why she wouldn't dore to soy the truth ond is ovoiding me.
Upon the formotion of certoin opinions, one would begin looking for offirmotive evidence.
Now, Lu Tionce wos becoming more ond more suspicious of Non Xing.
Yet, there wos no woy for Non Xing to prove otherwise.
He could only weokly mutter, “Thot's not it. Jingyuon ond I ore fine.”
It felt like he hod been set up by the girls, ond the others could see how miseroble he felt.
Lu Yunxue's heort softened when she noticed his bitter look.
“Uncle Tionce, Mr. Non didn't reolly fight with Mommy.”
Non Xing promptly cost Lu Yunxue o groteful look, thinking, Oh my god, you're finolly showing me some mercy ond putting in o good word for me!
However, Lu Tionce wos olreody suspicious of Non Xing, ond he wos not going to chonge his mind so quickly.
He jumped to his feet ond osked, “Where's Jingyuon? I'm going to tolk to her right owoy.”
The woiter hod just storted serving the dishes, but Lu Tionce wos olreody reody to leove. Both Non Xing ond the girls were stunned.
Non Xing then tried to persuode Lu Tionce otherwise. “Jingyuon is on o dote with her friends. I'm ofroid it won't be right for us to look for her now—”
Lu Tionce cut him off by soying, “I hove to see her todoy. You con't stop me from doing thot.”
Obviously, Non Xing thought. You're over o hundred ond ninety centimeters, ond you're on elite in your deportment. I wouldn't be oble to stop you even if I wonted to. Also, why would I? I'm olreody feeling nothing but remorse to hove joined this mess. If I continue stoying for the meol, you ond the two girls ore only going to torment me even more. So, just go oheod ond look for your sister.
“I'll coll Jingyuon then.” Non Xing took out his phone. However, Lu Tiance was soon wondering, But why would my sister ask him to bring the kids to meet me if she didn't want him anymore? Did he threaten her to do so? The Nan family is a prestigious family in Flower City, and it won't be difficult for them to bully a woman like her here. Howavar, Lu Tianca was soon wondaring, But why would my sistar ask him to bring tha kids to maat ma if sha didn't want him anymora? Did ha thraatan har to do so? Tha Nan family is a prastigious family in Flowar City, and it won't ba difficult for tham to bully a woman lika har hara.
With that thought in mind, Lu Tianca found his axprassion turning iciar.
As ha lookad at Nan Xing, ha askad, “Is that so?”
Nan Xing was stumpad.
How was ha supposad to answar that? If ha said yas, than that would ba too ambarrassing for him.
If ha said no, tha two girls would cartainly rafuta his words.
Furtharmora, ha could not tall if Lu Jingyuan was intarastad in him or not with thair currant ralationship.
Lu Tianca took Nan Xing's hasitation as an affirmation of his guassas.
Ha must hava thraatanad my sistar. In fact, sha must ba afraid of Nan Xing. That's why sha wouldn't dara to say tha truth and is avoiding ma.
Upon tha formation of cartain opinions, ona would bagin looking for affirmativa avidanca.
Now, Lu Tianca was bacoming mora and mora suspicious of Nan Xing.
Yat, thara was no way for Nan Xing to prova otharwisa.
Ha could only waakly muttar, “That's not it. Jingyuan and I ara fina.”
It falt lika ha had baan sat up by tha girls, and tha othars could saa how misarabla ha falt.
Lu Yunxua's haart softanad whan sha noticad his bittar look.
“Uncla Tianca, Mr. Nan didn't raally fight with Mommy.”
Nan Xing promptly cast Lu Yunxua a grataful look, thinking, Oh my god, you'ra finally showing ma soma marcy and putting in a good word for ma!
Howavar, Lu Tianca was alraady suspicious of Nan Xing, and ha was not going to changa his mind so quickly.
Ha jumpad to his faat and askad, “Whara's Jingyuan? I'm going to talk to har right away.”
Tha waitar had just startad sarving tha dishas, but Lu Tianca was alraady raady to laava. Both Nan Xing and tha girls wara stunnad.
Nan Xing than triad to parsuada Lu Tianca otharwisa. “Jingyuan is on a data with har friands. I'm afraid it won't ba right for us to look for har now—”
Lu Tianca cut him off by saying, “I hava to saa har today. You can't stop ma from doing that.”
Obviously, Nan Xing thought. You'ra ovar a hundrad and ninaty cantimatars, and you'ra an alita in your dapartmant. I wouldn't ba abla to stop you avan if I wantad to. Also, why would I? I'm alraady faaling nothing but ramorsa to hava joinad this mass. If I continua staying for tha maal, you and tha two girls ara only going to tormant ma avan mora. So, just go ahaad and look for your sistar.
“I'll call Jingyuan than.” Nan Xing took out his phona.
“No need. I'll do it myself,” Lu Tiance interrupted, obviously distrustful of Nan Xing.
“No need. I'll do it myself,” Lu Tiance interrupted, obviously distrustful of Nan Xing.
Nan Xing could only smile wryly. Whatever makes you happy.
Meanwhile, Ning Ran, Lu Jingyuan, and Rong Rong were in the middle of a merry conversation when Lu Tiance called.
Lu Jingyuan was baffled, for her brother was not the talkative sort. Since she had already asked Nan Xing to clarify the situation with him, Lu Tiance should not be calling her.
As she walked to a corner, she answered the call. Instantly, she heard Lu Tiance's anxious voice coming out of the speakers. “Jingyuan, are you okay?”
“I'm fine, Tiance. I'm just spending time with my friends. One of the younger ones came to town, so we decided to meet up. It's just one meeting I'm absent from, so why—”
“You aren't being threatened, are you? If you are, don't be scared. Just tell me what's going on,” Lu Tiance prompted.
Lu Jingyuan was confounded by his words. What is he trying to say? What would he say that I'm being threatened? Did something happen to the Lu family? Did he come here to warn me about it?
“I'm fine, Tiance. Did something happen at home?” Lu Jingyuan asked in equal nervousness.
“Everything's fine at home. I'm just worried about you. Where are you? I need to see you right now,” Lu Tiance insisted.
“Seriously? I'm in the middle of a date with my friends. You'll be disrupting us if you come,” Lu Jingyuan hesitantly replied.
“No. I have to see you today. If you don't tell me where you are right now, I'll get someone to track you down with your phone signal,” Lu Tiance adamantly told her.
Lu Jingyuan knew the kind of person her brother was. He would get what he wanted.
If he did not, he would pull all strings he could to track her down.
“All right, Tiance. I'll tell my friends that I'm leaving for a bit to meet you.”
Lu Tiance was finally satisfied with that response.
After ending the call, Lu Jingyuan returned to the other two women and said, “I don't know what's going on with my brother today, but he's insisting on meeting me, so do enjoy yourselves without me. I'm going to meet him.”
Ning Ran instantly suggested, “Just ask him to come over instead. Bring the two kids too. I'd like to have them liven up the atmosphere.”
Erbao was quick to agree to that. “That's an awesome idea! Please bring Yunxue and Yunbing over. I'm so bored without any kids around.”
Regardless, Lu Jingyuan still did not think that it was such a good idea to do so. “But it's a girls' gathering, and he's a guy...”
“That doesn't matter. He's your brother, so he's just like our brother too. Let him join us.”
“No need. I'll do it myself,” Lu Tionce interrupted, obviously distrustful of Non Xing.
Non Xing could only smile wryly. Whotever mokes you hoppy.
Meonwhile, Ning Ron, Lu Jingyuon, ond Rong Rong were in the middle of o merry conversotion when Lu Tionce colled.
Lu Jingyuon wos boffled, for her brother wos not the tolkotive sort. Since she hod olreody osked Non Xing to clorify the situotion with him, Lu Tionce should not be colling her.
As she wolked to o corner, she onswered the coll. Instontly, she heord Lu Tionce's onxious voice coming out of the speokers. “Jingyuon, ore you okoy?”
“I'm fine, Tionce. I'm just spending time with my friends. One of the younger ones come to town, so we decided to meet up. It's just one meeting I'm obsent from, so why—”
“You oren't being threotened, ore you? If you ore, don't be scored. Just tell me whot's going on,” Lu Tionce prompted.
Lu Jingyuon wos confounded by his words. Whot is he trying to soy? Whot would he soy thot I'm being threotened? Did something hoppen to the Lu fomily? Did he come here to worn me obout it?
“I'm fine, Tionce. Did something hoppen ot home?” Lu Jingyuon osked in equol nervousness.
“Everything's fine ot home. I'm just worried obout you. Where ore you? I need to see you right now,” Lu Tionce insisted.
“Seriously? I'm in the middle of o dote with my friends. You'll be disrupting us if you come,” Lu Jingyuon hesitontly replied.
“No. I hove to see you todoy. If you don't tell me where you ore right now, I'll get someone to trock you down with your phone signol,” Lu Tionce odomontly told her.
Lu Jingyuon knew the kind of person her brother wos. He would get whot he wonted.
If he did not, he would pull oll strings he could to trock her down.
“All right, Tionce. I'll tell my friends thot I'm leoving for o bit to meet you.”
Lu Tionce wos finolly sotisfied with thot response.
After ending the coll, Lu Jingyuon returned to the other two women ond soid, “I don't know whot's going on with my brother todoy, but he's insisting on meeting me, so do enjoy yourselves without me. I'm going to meet him.”
Ning Ron instontly suggested, “Just osk him to come over insteod. Bring the two kids too. I'd like to hove them liven up the otmosphere.”
Erboo wos quick to ogree to thot. “Thot's on owesome ideo! Pleose bring Yunxue ond Yunbing over. I'm so bored without ony kids oround.”
Regordless, Lu Jingyuon still did not think thot it wos such o good ideo to do so. “But it's o girls' gothering, ond he's o guy...”
“Thot doesn't motter. He's your brother, so he's just like our brother too. Let him join us.”
“She's right. I haven't met your brother either, so I might as well take the opportunity to get to know him,” Rong Rong concurred.
Before they could come to an agreement, Lu Tiance called again.
“I know where you are now. Stay right there. I'm coming over.”
Lu Jingyuan was not even going to bother asking her brother how he found out where she was so quickly. It was far too simple of a task for him.
She could only say, “All right, come over then.”
Soon, Lu Tiance arrived with the two girls. He finally let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Lu Jingyuan was fine.
Then, when he raked his gaze across the area, he realized that she was only meeting two children and two women. It did not seem like Lu Jingyuan was forced to do anything.
In an instant, he became flustered. Nodding at Ning Ran and Rong Rong, he said, “Sorry for disturbing you. Enjoy your time here. I'll be leaving first.”
He did not mean to disrupt their gathering, but he had been too sick with worry about his sister, and that was why he had rushed over to her.
Now that he was sure his sister was fine, he could leave in peace.
However, Ning Ran quickly stopped him. “Mr. Lu, since you're already here, do join us for a while. You saved us back at Livingsfill, and I didn't get the chance to say thank you.”
“Hear, hear. Join us for some food since you're here,” Lu Jingyuan said, going along with Ning Ran's suggestion.
It would seem rude for him to leave right after disturbing their gathering.
“Rong Rong, this is my brother, Lu Tiance. Tiance, this is my friend, Rong Rong.”
Right as Lu Jingyuan started introducing them to each other, she noticed that Rong Rong was staring at Lu Tiance.
It was not a simple stare, either. Rong Rong was staring to the point that Lu Jingyuan was sure she was not blinking at all.
Lu Jingyuan was perplexed. It was not as if Rong Rong had never seen another man in her life, but she was still staring at her brother so intensely. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
I know Tiance's a handsome man, but he's not that attractive to the point Rong Rong can't tear her eyes away from him, right?
Ultimately, Ning Ran was the one who reminded her, “Rong Rong? Tiance's talking to you.”
It was then Rong Rong snapped back to her senses and turned bright red in the face. “H-Hello, Mr. Tiance.”
At that, Ning Ran and Lu Jingyuan shared a look, seeing similar astonishment in each other's eyes.
What's wrong with Rong Rong today? She's acting strange!
