Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 775 - 772: Playing Us

Qin Huaixin immediately listed the people around them, "Gu Chen isn’t it, he just got out of the hospital and doesn’t have the energy, Gu Li even less so... Lu Jinyang and Qingqing don’t even need mentioning, then excluding you and me... that seems to be everyone, right?"

Listening to Qin Huaixin’s analysis, Leng Yixing’s mind flashed with the silhouette of someone, "Could it be Song Zhiqing?" But he immediately dismissed the thought, "No, he is... unless he is just playing us."

"What are you muttering about?" Qin Huaixin saw Leng Yixing mumbling and gave him a light tap, "I’ll go warm up some food for you in the kitchen. Even the biggest issues need a full stomach to resolve."

However, when Qin Huaixin came out with the food, Leng Yixing’s figure was no longer in the living room.

At this moment, Leng Yixing was going all in. Since the other party had said so much, he had no choice but to take a gamble. His long fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, telling Xiao Jiu the whole truth in an email, of course, excluding any mention of Song Zhiqing and Xiao Sewei’s names.

Finally, after sending the email, Leng Yixing’s heart eased significantly.

This time, he approached Xiao Jiu with the mindset of placing a bet. He figured if Xiao Jiu was Song Zhiqing’s person, playing them for fools, it didn’t matter. Some matters are adversarial, and can never become alliances.

If Xiao Jiu was on their side, then it would be a cause for celebration, akin to activating a cheat code.

That night, Dabao went over the email sent by Leng Yixing again and again until he finally understood the whole situation.

It turned out that his daddy and mommy were after something in that man’s possession. But why did that man oppose daddy and mommy and even want to kill Auntie Sewei?

The next day, Dabao appeared at the dining table with dark circles under his eyes, causing Xiao Qing much concern.

"Dabao, have you been having trouble sleeping lately?"

Despite the dark circles, Dabao was in high spirits, his eyes bright and alert. He said to Xiao Qing, "Mommy, I’m fine, maybe I just haven’t been exercising enough lately, so I’m not sleeping well."

"Is that so~ Then mommy won’t go to the company today and will stay home to play with you guys?"

"Yes, mommy, we haven’t dined out in a long time; can you take me and sister out to eat today?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaobao immediately chimed in, "Yes yes, mommy, I want to go out to eat too."

Xiao Qing looked a bit indulgent and somewhat helpless. She turned to Lu Jinyang, "You see..."

"You should stay home with them today; I’ll take care of the company matters," Lu Jinyang said and then addressed the children, "Jinchen, Xinyun, you must listen to mommy when you go out."

"Okay, daddy, we will definitely listen to mommy," they promised.

Ye Han came over, complaining, "That old man, your grandfather, I don’t know where he went fishing early in the morning. Oh, are you going out? Xiaobao, can you take grandma along too?"

Xiaobao looked at Xiao Qing, and seeing her nod, he immediately beamed, "Of course, grandma, come with us and have fun."

Lu Jinyang, not trusting Xiao Qing to drive, had the driver take them out.

The four of them went to the amusement park for a morning and hadn’t even reached lunchtime when Xiaobao started feeling hungry and clamored for food.

Xiao Qing took them to a nearby children’s theme restaurant, ordered two children’s meals, left Ye Han to watch the kids, and went off to the restroom herself.
