Chapter 872: Chapter 865: Miss, Who Are You?
In the nursery, Sister Liu was holding Xiao Xi, coaxing her to sleep. Thinking about the way Luna was frustrated earlier, she softly asked Sister Wu beside her, "Has your Old Mrs. Lu always been like this?"
Sister Wu nodded, "Exactly, always so indiscriminate."
Sister Liu sighed, "Itâs going to be a real mess now. I hope they leave soon."
Sister Wu looked displeased, "Iâm not trying to scare you, but my Old Mrs. Lu is the kind of person who only leaves the house for something significant. See, they say theyâre here to see Miss Qiu Zi, but why do they have to bring along that girl Lu Zitong?"
Sister Liu was startled, "Could they have some agenda in mind?" Sister Liu rolled her eyes, "Could it be my husband theyâre after? No, this wonât do. I need to warn Yiran to be careful with these people!"
"You donât need to be so nervous. I suspect the old lady has other plans. But even if theyâre after your husband, can Lu Zitong, with her spoiled demeanor, really be a match for Yiran?" Sister Wu smiled, "Speaking of the past, even when Xiao Na teamed up with Qi Hui, they couldnât beat Yiran. Now, a granny who rarely goes out teamed with a spoiled girl, what trouble can they stir up? Theyâre just here to annoy. But if Yiran wants to deal with them, it wonât be any harder than pinching them!"
Sister Liu thought for a moment, "Hmm, youâre right. So what do you think your Old Mrs. Lu is after?"
Sister Wu rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "That Lu Zitong is a treasure at home, always thinking she should marry well. Those people have high standards, nobody is good enough for them. You see, Lu Zitong is already 28 and still doesnât have a partner, so the old ladyâs getting anxious." Sister Wu sneered, "Probably, theyâre using this chance to visit Miss Qiu Zi as an excuse to stay here, leveraging the Leng Familyâs reputation to find Lu Zitong a partner from a prominent family, for sure!"
Listening to this, Sister Liu couldnât help but click her tongue, "What a shameless bunch of people."
"Haha, just wait and see. This old lady just got here and already acts like she owns the place, bossing Xiao Na around. Iâm just waiting for Yiran to come back and put these people in their place!" Sister Wu said angrily.
"Oh~" Sister Liu looked at Sister Wu knowingly, "So thatâs why you asked me to call Yiran to come back? You really know how to get my Yiran involved!"
Sister Wu immediately put on a pitiful face, "Thereâs no other way. In this house, only Yiran has the ability to do it."
Sister Liu thought that was true, but still felt sorry for Bai Yiran. Itâs one thing after another for her, she never gets a break.
At the door, Qiu Zi hesitated, building up her courage several times but not daring to enter, as if her family inside were like wild beasts.
"Forget it, just go in. Since youâre not planning to hide, you need to face them bravely!" Bai Yiran patted Qiu Zi on the back, "Donât worry, Iâm here with you! Iâll definitely protect you!"
Hearing Bai Yiranâs words, Qiu Zi was so touched she wanted to cry, clinging to Bai Yiran and acting like a child.
Bai Yiran laughed helplessly, "If Xiao Xi sees you like this, she would laugh at you."
Qiu Zi straightened up, looking determined, "Letâs go!"
In the living room, Old Mrs. Lu was getting impatient, "Why is Qiu Zi still not back? Did she really run away?"
At that moment, there was the sound of the door opening and closing at the entrance. Lu Zitongâs eyes brightened when she heard it, "Sheâs back!"
With that, Lu Zitong eagerly ran towards the door. Without seeing who it was, she began to scold, "You worthless woman, how dare you come back!"
As soon as Lu Zitong finished her sentence, a cold voice rang out, "This is my home, why shouldnât I come back? And who are you, miss?"
Lu Zitong was startled and only then saw clearly the woman standing at the door, her expression turning ugly. It was already annoying that Qiu Zi was prettier than her, and now there was another one!
