Chapter 920 - He Sold Himself Short (2/2)

Besides, he still owed Lu Jinrong a favor. A few years ago, Lu Jinrong let that woman off; now, he let his sister off.

Both of them did not owe each other anything anymore.

Chu Lui turned around and left without looking back while Lu Jinrong looked at his back view complicatedly until he could not be seen anymore. Then, he retracted his vision and held up the cup on the table, allowing the spicy feeling to hurt his entire throat.

As expected, they did not come over to the Lu family the next day.

Was the Xia household not coming? Qin Xuejuan was thinking that they were going to come soon. Did they not say that they would report punctually every day? Why did they stop coming? She had even brewed the tea.

“Don’t trouble yourself in the future.” Lu Jinrong walked over and took the tea that Qin Xuejuan had just brewed. He placed it on the table and would drink it himself later.

Qin Xuejuan did not understand. “Then, do I just let them sit and wait?”

“No.” Lu Jinrong poured a cup for himself and swirled the teacup gently in his hands. The tea was fragrant.

“That Mr. Xia would not be coming in the future so we can save on the tea leaves.”

“Not coming?” Lu Ke’en heard it, too. What made them change their minds? He did not think that Xia Mingzheng would let Xiaohua and the Lu family off so easily. Without a valid reason, he would not leave.

“Chu Lui did it.” Lu Jinrong placed the teacup by his lips and drank it. “As for what Chu Lui agreed with the Xia household or what they had exchanged, he didn’t say. The current result is that the Xia household would not come anymore.”

Lu Ke’en nodded. That was good, and he heaved a sigh of relief.

He placed his newspapers on his lap. Really, it would be for the best if they stopped coming. In the future, there was nothing for them to explain to the Xia household. Now, he was still worrying about Jian Qingying’s side as she said that she missed her daughter and wanted to come back. However, where was he going to conjure up a daughter for her?

“Jinrong, get your sister back. Your mom is coming home soon,” he said to the distracted Lu Jinrong.

“Jinrong,” he called again and threw the newspapers aside.

Lu Jinrong reacted and smiled. “Dad, are you talking to me?”

“Ask your sister to come back. Your mom will be back soon.”

“Mm, I know.” Lu Jinrong suddenly felt his brows tighten, and he could only agree dryly. Look for his sister… hah… look for his sister. He also wanted to look for his sister, but his sister was still in the intensive care unit and was unconscious. If they wanted to look for her, they had to wait until the critical period was over at the very least. If not, he really did not dare to speak up and tell them the news.

In the hospital, it was already the seventh day. To the two people in the hospital, they could heave a sigh of relief. Even though the person inside had not woken up the whole time, her vital signs were all very stable. She should be fine given a few more days. Her current condition was almost certain, and her injury could slowly recover. Her cerebral context activity was also much stronger than before. Perhaps she would wake up the next day or the day after.
