Chapter 536: Master Lu’s Sister
“You guys are so cute together! Although, I am curious as to why you were at Jin City for such a long time.” Lu Yuqing wanted to know why Jiang Yao was away for an entire month.
News of Lu Xingzhi’s injuries was withheld from his family because he did not want them to be worried, especially with how severely wounded he was. Since he was already recovering, there was no need to hide the news anymore.
As people mature, they get into the habit of only sharing the good news.
Lu Xingzhi felt that he was not a good son since he rarely returned home due to his military career. He would feel even worse if his parents got upset over his injury.
However, since Lu Yuqing asked, Jiang Yao did not feel the need to conceal the news.
“He went on a mission during National Day and was injured badly. He was hospitalized for half a month and I requested for leave since he needed someone to take care of him. He’s recovering very well now, that’s the reason why I could come back.”
Lu Yuqing’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper the moment she heard that her little brother was hospitalized for such a long duration, even before Jiang Yao described the severity of his injuries.
“You two are really… how should I say this? I can understand if you don’t want to tell Dad and Mom, but why did you hide it from me too? If you told me, I could’ve come to the hospital and helped out!”
She gently flicked Jiang Yao’s forehead. “You kids with your outlandish decisions!”
Lu Yuqing meant no harm to Jiang Yao. She was just concerned that her sister-in-law had to take care of Lu Xingzhi all by herself. It was no small feat!
As they were chatting, Huang Chengjing drove his car up to them. “Chenchen!”
Weirdly enough, Huang Chenchen did not seem happy to see her father. She put on a pouting face and ignored him.
Huang Chengjing was teased by Jiang Yao as he approached, “Your little princess here is angry, what did you do to her?”
He laughed awkwardly. It was all Jiang Yao needed to know and did not question anymore. She patted Huang Chenchen in her arms and said, “Daddy’s here for you. Come on, be a good girl, and go to him.”
“No, I don’t want to! I want you and Sister Yuqing!” She shook her tiny head in defiance.
Huang Chengjing was relieved to see her daughter safe from harm. He looked at the lady beside Jiang Yao and asked, “And you are?”
“My sister, Lu Yuqing.” Jiang Yao introduced. “This is Huang Chenchen’s father, Huang Chenjing.”
Lu Yuqing nodded at Huang Chengjing without much emotion. He then asked again, “Are you Master Lu’s sister?”
She looked at Jiang Yao, a little surprised that this man knew of her marriage to Lu Xingzhi. Obviously, Jiang Yao did not try to conceal the fact that she was married at all.
“You got it, Mr. Huang.” Jiang Yao smiled. “You have to thank my sister though. She was the one that saw Chenchen on the streets. Without her, we might still be out here looking for her.”
