Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 162: Turning the Tables

Lu Xiao only told her that a journalist was pestering Cousin Jinyang but didn’t reveal who the journalist was. If she had known, she wouldn’t have dealt with Zhuang Shuqing in this manner.

"Telling you the result won’t change anything."

Lin Xiaoxiao grew even angrier, "But do you know that this woman has children? If she gets exposed, she will definitely be tied to Cousin Jinyang, and who knows..."

Her words were cut short by Lu Xiao, "Impossible!"

Given his understanding of Lu Jinyang, Lu Jinyang wouldn’t marry a woman who has had children before, unless... the child was his.

Lu Xiao stroked his chin, thinking hard. He had to get to the bottom of this, or his parents would drive him to his death.

Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to ask more but was stopped by Lu Xiao, "It’s getting late, you should head back first. Oh, and don’t publish tomorrow’s news."

The next day, Zhuang Shuqing woke up early as usual to refresh the news. She scrolled repeatedly but saw no new articles about the journalist, and even the news from two days ago had sunk down.

She breathed a long sigh of relief; this matter was finally over.

Last night, Lu Jinyang had told her that the man was Lu Xiao, his cousin. However, he didn’t mention anything about Lin Xiaoxiao.

For some reason, she felt uncomfortable about this.

Was it because he didn’t care about Lin Xiaoxiao at all, or did Lin Xiaoxiao mean something different to him?

Thinking of Lin Xiaoxiao’s sweet calls of "Cousin Jinyang", Zhuang Shuqing felt a wave of irritation.

Looking up, the man on the bed was getting ready to rise, so she immediately closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

After insisting last night, Lu Jinyang had no choice but to let her sleep on the floor.

Because she said, it was he who forcibly took her back to Jinxiu Garden without even taking care of the floor bedding in advance.

She wasn’t sure how much time had passed when the door of the room opened and then closed again. Zhuang Shuqing slowly opened her eyes, a smile curving at the corners.

Hey, still angry about last night, huh? Usually, he would carry her to the bed after getting up, but today he completely ignored her.

As she was about to open the door from the bathroom, she heard a familiar female voice coming from the living room.

She peeked through a crack in the door and was shocked to see Tan Biyang!

At that moment, Tan Biyang was unveiling the layers of a thermal container, revealing appetizing dishes as she smiled and described each one.

From Zhuang Shuqing’s perspective, she could only see Tan Biyang.

After thinking for a bit, she went back to the bathroom to look in the mirror, even applying some lip gloss before returning to the door.

Suddenly, a low exclamation from Tan Biyang and sounds resembling panting came from the living room. Zhuang Shuqing’s hand, about to open the door, paused, frozen in mid-air.

However, the living room quickly returned to silence, no other sound to be heard.

In a flash, she threw open the door, stepping out to be instantly at a loss for words.

There was only Tan Biyang in the living room. Hearing the door open, she looked over, and her expression visibly stiffened upon seeing Zhuang Shuqing, then she casually continued fiddling with the items in her hands.

"Miss Zhuang, thank you for taking care of Jinyang during this time. He’s already told me about it. Really, it must have been troublesome for you."

Zhuang Shuqing: "..."

What the hell is this situation!

Before she could speak, Tan Biyang’s voice continued, "Jinyang just stepped out and will be back soon. If you don’t mind, you can join us for a meal. Starting from today, we won’t trouble you anymore."

Zhuang Shuqing folded her arms and raised an eyebrow, looking at her. Is this an attempt to take over as the host and drive her away?
