Chapter 739 - Know the Xie Family Incisively (2/2)
Xie Zhuolian feels a bit ashamed.
“Okay. Uncle Lu, enough. If you are in a hurry, you can go back first. When I finish my work here, I will go back on my own,” Xie Zhuolian says in a deep voice.
Uncle Lu can certainly feel the disgruntlement of Xie Zhuolian. He heaves a sigh and says, “Your Ladyship, I just think that we should be worldly-wise and play safe… This is not a trivial matter. If it is found out by the seniors of the family, they will surely ask you to go back as soon as possible.”
Xie Zhuolian doesn’t speak but puckers her lips.
Uncle Lu also knows that he cannot change Xie Zhuolian’s attitude by a few words so he can’t be bothered to continue talking.
“I need to ask for instruction,” Uncle Lu says.
Xie Zhuolian nods her head.
Actually, she understands Uncle Lu’s concern.
This time, Uncle Lu’s mission is to protect her but they actually rarely mingle when they are at home. Now, they are talking about some big issues. Of course, Uncle Lu is unwilling to take any responsibility.
Uncle Lu walks aside with his phone and makes a call that lasts five or six minutes before coming back.
“Your request has been rejected. Your Ladyship, please don’t make it difficult for me,” Uncle Lu sighs and says.
“I have promised Lord Heaven Dragon. Do you think I can just walk away now?” Xie Zhuolian asks with a bitter smile.
“Well, the seniors also know about it so, Your Ladyship, what you do for the Dragon Court has nothing to do with the Xie Family. And now I also need to go back,” Uncle Lu says.
Xie Zhuolian is a bit startled.
“That is to say, my family is going to leave me alone?”
Uncle Lu is also quite awkward. He nods his head but in case that Xie Zhuolian may feel sad, he hastens to say, “I think Master and the others just hope to push you to go back in this way.”
Xie Zhuolian just shakes her head with a bitter smile, “Forget about it. My grandpa and the others are simply worried that I may bring trouble for the Xie Family.”
Although Xie Zhuolian’s words sound quite harsh, Uncle Lu is clear that her words are to the point.
Having stayed in the Xie Family for so many years, he knows well what the family thinks and how they act.
Therefore, he is not surprised at Xie Jue’s words on the phone.
“Your Ladyship, I’ll go back then. Anyway, you are safe in the Dragon Court. The people here will surely protect you well,” Uncle Lu adds.
Xie Zhuolian is terribly upset. She nods her head and waves her hand, signaling to him to leave now.
After Uncle Lu leaves, Xie Zhuolian finally heaves a long sigh.
“What? Are you feeling sad to hear that?” Heaven Dragon’s voice suddenly comes from behind.
“Lord Heaven Dragon.” Xie Zhuolian turns around.
Heaven Dragon laughs and says, “That’s the style of the Xie Family. Don’t be too surprised. Otherwise, the Xie Family couldn’t get along with the Dragon Court.”
Xie Zhuolian says with a bitter smile, “You are right.”
“Actually, it is not your grandpa’s fault. The Xie Family is not a person but a family. Whatever they do, they must think in the best interests of the family,” Heaven Dragon continues saying.
Even if Xie Zhuolian knows Heaven Dragon is comforting her but she still nods her head to indicate that she has got the point.
“I will arrange a house for you to settle down for now. When your job is over here, I will send you back. I can guarantee you that those people won’t say a word to you. They will even praise you,” Heaven Dragon says laughingly.
He has known the Xie Family incisively.
