Chapter 66 - Taichu Path (1/2)

“Mm!”

Lu Xuan nodded in acknowledgment.

Suddenly, the scene was interrupted by the sound of a phone. Lu Xuan glanced at his phone, seeing that his mother—Liu Wanrong—was calling him again.

Taking his leave from the crowd, he came to a secluded corner and picked up the call.

“Hi, mom. What’s up?”

From the phone, Liu Wanrong’s voice could be heard. “You picked up Lu Yuling today, didn’t you!”

“Yes, I did!” Lu Xuan replied flatly.

“Well, how was it?” Liu Wanrong asked, a hint of expectation in her tone.

Lu Xuan pouted, answering, “She looked down on me—your son!”

“What?” Liu Wanrong’s voice instantly increased in volume. “What gives her the right to look down on my son? In what way is my son undeserving of her?”

Like an overprotective mother hen, Liu Wanrong was enraged in an instant.

“Forget it; it’s her loss!” Liu Wanrong quickly regained her composure as she continued, “Even so, you’ve been good at keeping your secrets, huh!”

“What?” Lu Xuan asked, thrown by the strange remark.

“One of your friends came looking for me and your dad today and came to sit at the house with us for a while. And wouldn’t you know it, she’s a real beauty!” Liu Wanrong said gleefully.

Lu Xuan was slightly confused and asked, “Mom, stop talking in riddles. Who are you talking about?”

In Lu Xuan’s head, the only person that came to mind was Ling Fei. Excluding his previous life, he had only been rebirthed a few days ago in this life. Thus, of the beautiful ladies he knew who could possibly have visited his home located in Xia City, probably only Ling Fei fit the bill.

“You really don’t have any patience at all!” Liu Wanrong said with a pout. “The young lady introduced herself to us as Luo Ying. She said she was your friend. She looks really beautiful, and even your dad thinks so, but I think this young lady might be a bit dangerous. I can tell from a glance that she’s from an especially rich background. I’m not sure if you can handle her!”

Luo Ying!

Hearing this name, Lu Xuan’s pupils immediately contracted slightly!

It was a name he was all too familiar with.

The eldest daughter of the Luo family, and also the older sister of Luo Kun. In his past life, they were in a relationship for a while.

At that time, he was not aware that Luo Ying was from the Luo family, nor that she was the older sister of Luo Kun. He suffered miserably due to her deception, and at one point, almost met a tragic end.

With regard to Luo Ying, Lu Xuan knew her better than anyone else. She had a beautiful appearance, but her heart was full of malice, and she would go to any lengths to achieve her goals.

In this life, he did not have any interactions with Luo Ying. Even after he killed Luo Kun, nobody should have found out about it yet.

Logically speaking, it was not possible that Luo Ying could know of his existence, much less visit his home and claim to be his friend.

As Lu Xuan thought about it, he suddenly stumbled upon a chilling possibility. There was only one reason for Luo Ying to come looking for him, and it was that she was investigating the dreadful incident of Luo Kun’s death.

Luo Kun had died so inexplicably that there was no way the Luo family would not conduct an investigation!
