The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 998 - 397: Qiao Sis Got Out of That Not-So-Important Guy’s Car

Chapter 998: Chapter 397: Qiao Sis Got Out of That Not-So-Important Guy’s Car

Song Qiao suddenly fell silent and really stopped talking.

Ji Sifan’s voice was so loud that even Lu Jingchen, who was driving, could hear it. Originally, Ji Sifan calling Song Qiao was already making him a bit unhappy, and then seeing him scold Song Qiao, Lu Jingchen’s face turned instantly gloomy. Now seeing Song Qiao looking so resigned... the man’s face was as dark as it could drip water.

Five years ago, although he wasn’t good to Song Qiao, he now intended to keep Song Qiao by his side and pamper her, not letting her suffer any harm. However, he heard Ji Sifan that man scolding her like that.

Nevertheless, Song Qiao’s attitude made Lu Jingchen even more displeased, his hand gripping the steering wheel involuntarily tightened.

On the other side of the phone, Ji Sifan lectured Song Qiao directly for a long time, feeling thirsty from talking so much, only to find that Song Qiao hadn’t said a single word. The silence on the phone made him think she had hung up. But when he looked at the phone screen, it still showed the call was active, which instantly made him furious, "Song Qiao, say something. How dare you pretend to be mute at a time like this?"

Song Qiao felt she was quite innocent and mumbled softly, "Weren’t you the one who told me not to speak?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Sifan was even more frustrated and, without any warmth in his voice, opened his mouth, "I’m telling you not to speak now. Since when did you become so obedient?"

Song Qiao, "..." So it’s still my fault?

But she didn’t say that out loud, because she knew if she did, Ji Sifan would tear her apart the next time they met.

"Song Qiao." On the other side of the phone, Ji Sifan still hadn’t heard a response from Song Qiao and was so angry he wanted to come over and grab her and beat her.

Hearing Ji Sifan’s gritted voice calling her name, Song Qiao immediately touched her nose and responded, "I’m here."

Ji Sifan, full of anger with no place to vent, finally took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "Forget it, just take care of yourself. I’ve got things to do here, I’m hanging up now."

He hung up without waiting for Song Qiao to speak.

Song Qiao subconsciously brought her phone in front of her to look at it, and sure enough, the call had already ended.

She couldn’t help but sigh inwardly; Ji Sifan was indeed angry. With his temperament, he probably wouldn’t forgive her for at least ten days or half a month.

After that, Song Qiao returned calls one by one to Mu Shinian, as well as to Gu Xiyan and Gu Qing. Once everyone knew she was fine, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Not being able to reach her yesterday, Mu Shinian and Gu Xiyan were almost going crazy, fearing something had happened to her.

Seeing that Song Qiao finally put down her phone, Lu Jingchen’s gaze fell on her. His thin lips parted slightly, and in a voice that was low and hard, he asked, "Where to now?"

Song Qiao was looking through her phone messages. Hearing Lu Jingchen’s words, she was first startled, glanced at him before speaking, "Wait a minute, Shinian hasn’t sent the address yet. You drive on, I’ll tell you in a moment."

The man responded with a hum and didn’t say anything more.

Before long, Mu Shinian’s message came in; it was a certain neighborhood in the city center. The location was good, with shopping malls, a food market nearby, and several schools, considered a prime area of An City.

Not knowing how long she would stay in An City, and Shinian also uncertain about her stay, she simply bought the house. Gu Xiyan, being Gu Qing’s younger sister and having a good relationship with Song Qiao and Mu Shinian, just moved in there to live together with Mu Shinian.

Song Qiao directly handed the phone to Lu Jingchen, letting him see the address on the screen, "Just drop me off here."

Lu Jingchen glanced at the address on the phone, his eyes deepened slightly, but he didn’t say anything.

...

An City has undergone significant changes over these five years. Now its economy has already risen a notch, becoming one of the major cities in the country, with An City’s economy occupying a large portion of the national economic development.

Song Qiao left for five years, and if it weren’t for Lu Jingchen taking her, she would have certainly gotten lost in this city where she had lived for over twenty years since childhood.

An hour later, the car stopped outside the neighborhood Mu Shinian had told Song Qiao about. Glancing outside, she immediately saw Mu Shinian, standing outside the neighborhood, frequently checking her phone. There was also Gu Xiyan, in a baseball cap and sunglasses, disguised to the point of being unrecognizable without familiarity. And standing beside Mu Shinian was... Lu Yulin.

Song Qiao was a bit surprised to see Lu Yulin there at this time, not expecting him to still be with Shinian and the others.

Song Qiao saw Lu Yulin, and naturally, Lu Jingchen also noticed. When he realized that Lu Yulin was with Mu Shinian, Lu Jingchen’s mind became clear—Lu Yulin had known Song Qiao’s whereabouts all along but never told him.

Thinking about how his little nephew knew that he hadn’t stopped searching for Song Qiao over the past five years, and yet still withheld where she was, the man suddenly emitted a dangerous aura.

Lu Yulin, at this very moment, was standing next to Mu Shinian, bickering with Gu Xiyan. Suddenly, he felt a strong and dangerous gaze upon him, causing his body to stiffen. Instinctively, he turned his head and saw the black Maybach not far away.

A sudden ominous premonition came over him. Lu Yulin reached out and poked Mu Shinian beside him, saying, "Mu Shinian, that car seems to belong to my Second Uncle..."

As soon as Mu Shinian heard Lu Yulin’s words, her body stiffened as well. She immediately turned her head in the direction Lu Yulin was pointing, and indeed, she saw a black Maybach. Five years ago, Mu Shinian often rode in Lu Jingchen’s car and knew that Lu Jingchen favored two types of cars: the Maybach and the Bentley.

And now, the Maybach had long been discontinued, so not many people owned this car. Lu Jingchen’s black Maybach had been worth millions when he first bought it, and now its value has undoubtedly increased due to its rarity.

Thinking of what Lu Jingchen had done to her cousin five years ago, and how her cousin had struggled over these five years, Mu Shinian felt a surge of anger rising within her. However, she restrained her anger and asked, "Are you sure it’s really your Second Uncle’s car?"

Lu Yulin nodded, but then quickly shook his head, ruffling his hair as he said, "I don’t really know if it’s my Second Uncle’s car. In An City, the number of people who own a Maybach is very few, so it might belong to someone else. Besides, I didn’t memorize my Second Uncle’s Maybach license plate number."

Although the license plate on the black Maybach had the brazen four sixes, which was indeed his Second Uncle’s style, it could also belong to someone else, right?

After all, the wealthy people in An City weren’t just the Lu Family. Anyone who could afford a Maybach wasn’t exactly poor.

Gu Xiyan’s gaze, like Mu Shinian and the others, also fell upon the black Maybach. However, she didn’t know the Second Uncle that Lu Yulin mentioned. As they say, ignorance leads to curiosity, so unable to control her curiosity, Gu Xiyan turned to Mu Shinian and asked, "Shinian, who are you guys talking about?"

Before Mu Shinian could answer, Lu Yulin already spoke up, "Of course, it’s my Second Uncle."

Gu Xiyan raised an eyebrow and through her sunglasses, glared at Lu Yulin, "Of course I know it’s your Second Uncle. I’m asking about your Second Uncle’s identity, and I’m asking Shinian, not you."

This guy is just so annoying, isn’t he?

Aways ruining her moments alone with Shinian, and now this, too. It really made her want to smack him with a shoe.

However, considering she wasn’t a match for Lu Yulin, if they got physical, she’d definitely be the one getting beaten up. So Gu Xiyan just thought about it and did nothing.

Lu Yulin rolled his eyes and didn’t answer.

Mu Shinian was silent for more than ten seconds before finally speaking, rather indifferently, "A not-so-important person."

However, in the next moment, they heard Lu Yulin’s voice, filled with surprise and even alarm, "Se...Second Uncle?"

Instantly, Mu Shinian and Gu Xiyan’s eyes again turned to the black Maybach. When they saw the person stepping out of the car, Mu Shinian’s body suddenly went stiff, and her hand at her side clenched unconsciously.

Gu Xiyan looked at Lu Yulin, pointing at Lu Jingchen, who had just got out of the car not far away, and curiously asked, "Is that your Second Uncle?"

Lu Yulin said, "Yeah, that’s my Second Uncle. Got a problem with that?"

Gu Xiyan shrugged, then leisurely looked Lu Yulin up and down, and said, without haste, "...How come your Second Uncle is so handsome, yet your looks aren’t even half as good as his?"

Hearing Gu Xiyan’s words, Lu Yulin bristled like an angry cat, exclaiming, "Gu Xiyan, are you looking to die?"

But Gu Xiyan ignored him, still looking toward Lu Jingchen in the distance. Just then, she also spotted Song Qiao stepping out from the passenger side of the car, startling her. She exclaimed, "Shinian, Sister Qiao just got out of the car you said belonged to that not-so-important person..." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Song Qiao, after seeing Mu Shinian and the others at the entrance and being slightly shocked that Lu Yulin was also there, turned her head and saw that Lu Jingchen had already opened the car door and was stepping out. She hurriedly opened her own door to get out too.

However, she didn’t notice the step below her and accidentally twisted her ankle.
