Wrath
After the short embrace, the group Lu Mengjie met went on with their inquiries. They mostly asked about how her situation was in the Bai family but the answers she gave them were all lies. She didn't want them to worry. Besides, it was not like she couldn't handle the situation.
"Just contact us anytime, Jiejie," said Xia Liqin with a small smile on his lips.
She looked at him and smiled back. She could remember the times in her childhood where he would always end up following her wherever she went. "Thank you, brother."
"Just call me 'Qinqing' like you usually do," he chuckled. The lazy look in his eyes was gone and instead, they were twinkling, looking like an innocent pup.
She held her mother's hand afterward and gave it a squeeze. "I'm sorry, I can't drop you at the airport tonight..."
Her mother was already planning on returning to the mainland on the same day. She didn't want to leave Lu Xian Yu alone while he was bedridden.
