Chapter 296: Beware of all defenses, but it is difficult to prevent thieves from within
Chapter 296 No matter how much you guard against it, it's hard to guard against a thief within your own family
Second brother, I'm willing but unable to do anything about it! You know how fierce your sister-in-law is, I dare not offend her.
Besides, men and women shouldn't touch each other, so I can't just go over and hold my sister-in-law's hand, can I?
Look, is it far from where you are? If it's not far, why don't you come over yourself?
Lu Shiwen: "..."
It'll take me four hours to get there! By the time I get there, what will be left for me?
I'll make a video call to you. Go over to your second sister-in-law's place and have her answer.
Lu Yunjie: Okay, okay, whatever you say.
He was about to reply, "Okay."
However, before he could even type the words, his phone rang.
Looking down, he saw that it was his second brother making a video call to him.
Lu Yunjie felt a chill run down his spine. "Brother, you're really fast!"
He sighed resignedly, picked up his phone, and walked helplessly toward Zhao Yunlin.
The phone rang with a chilling warning and urging. Ahead, an overwhelming coldness enveloped him. Behind him, everyone else seemed indifferent, their affairs detached and unrelated…
At this moment, he is fighting alone!
He swallowed hard and handed over the phone.
"Second brother... second brother wants you to answer the phone."
"Let me clarify first, this video call wasn't made by me. It was my second brother who requested it, and he called me personally. It has nothing to do with me."
Zhao Yunlin snatched the phone from his hand and sneered, "I'll remember you."
Lu Yunjie: "(′._.｀)"
All said!
It wasn't him who made the call!
It's really, really, really not his fault!
Zhao Yunlin glanced at the crowd and noticed that almost all of their eyes were on her, ready to watch the drama unfold.
Hmph, is her gossip really that delicious?
Clutching her constantly ringing phone, Zhao Yunlin walked step by step into the private room's restroom.
With a "bang," she decisively slammed the toilet door shut, cutting off everyone's view.
Why are you eating melons? Go eat your hotpot!
What a wonderful melon! It was gone before we even had a chance to enjoy it properly, leaving everyone feeling a pang of regret.
After a long while, everyone could only look at Lu Yining with expectant eyes.
She is the only hope.
And Lu Yining lived up to everyone's expectations.
[Tsk tsk tsk, Second Brother is really good at keeping quiet. He even said he'd teach Yun Lin a lesson tonight.]
[Tsk tsk tsk, this really makes one's imagination run wild.]
Everyone: Oh, I see!
These young couples nowadays...
Tut tut...
In the restroom, Zhao Yunlin, still holding her phone and talking on the phone, said: "..."
It's true that no matter how much you guard against it, it's hard to guard against a thief within your own family...
……
"What a beautiful forsythia! Everyone loves it."
"What a beautiful forsythia, welcoming the earth to shine with glory."
"What a beautiful forsythia, blooming in every home."
On New Year's Eve, Lu Yining got up and stepped out of her room, only to hear festive songs echoing in the corridor and throughout the entire house.
"This magical sound is so refreshing. I was feeling a bit sleepy, but after listening to it for a little while, I instantly felt full of energy."
Lu Yining held onto the railing with both hands, listened with her eyes closed for a while, and sighed sincerely.
"Meow~meow~"
[Yeah? That sound...it's the sound of bringing wealth!]
Lu Yining opened her eyes with a "whoosh" and looked toward the source of the sound.
Not far away, a pair of wide-open eyes were staring intently at her.
Seeing her look over, Zhao Cai tilted its head and let out a soft "meow". It took graceful steps towards Lu Yining and stopped at her feet.
It tentatively meowed a few times, and at the same time, it pawed forward a few times, as if to say: Human, hug me!
Lu Yining was almost melted by its cute appearance. She squatted down, picked up Zhaocai with both hands, and gave it a big kiss.
"You little rascal, how can you be so cute!"
"Come on, give your sister another kiss."
Zhao Cai's eyes widened in terror. "Ahhh! Indecent assault! This lewd woman is going to assault the cat!"
It strained with all its might to break free from Lu Yining's embrace, but Lu Yining was too strong, and no matter how much it struggled, it couldn't break free from her embrace.
He could only hold back his tears, shrinking back, as she kissed him, one kiss after another...
Waaaaah, isn't anyone going to stand up for it?!
Holding the cat, Lu Yining walked down the stairs step by step, then circled around to the living room.
When they ran into Grandpa Lu on the road, Lu Yining greeted him with a smile.
"Good morning, Grandpa! Are you playing with the birds again?"
Upon seeing his granddaughter, Grandpa Lu couldn't stop smiling; he was beaming with joy.
"Yes, I was just planning to take it out to get some sun."
"My dear granddaughter, it's rare that filming for the TV series has wrapped up, you can finally go home and get some rest, why are you up so early?"
"If you haven't had enough sleep, go back to sleep. You don't have anything to do, why get up so early?"
Lu Yining: "Hahaha, I've had enough sleep. Anyway, I have nothing to do these few days. If I feel sleepy in the afternoon, I can take a nap."
Lu Yunjie, who was passing by, heard this and exclaimed "Wow!"
"Grandpa! You're being unfair! You told me at eight o'clock that the sun was already high in the sky and that I had to get up early!"
"Ningning slept until almost 11 o'clock, and you still told her to go back to sleep if she hadn't had enough sleep?"
Waaaaah, he just finished filming and came back too!
He had planned to sleep in late tonight, but his grandfather knocked on his door around 8 a.m., saying he wanted to get up and go for a walk with him.
He had been looking forward to sleeping in late for several days, and just like that, it all took flight...
"How dare you say that? Ya Xuan is coming over today, what's with you sleeping so late? Ya Xuan is your partner, she's coming over, why didn't you prepare in advance? What else do you want?"
Lu Yunjie: "??"
“We don’t eat until 12:30, right? Xuanxuan will also be here around 12 o’clock.”
It's only a little past 11 o'clock!
Xuanxuan won't arrive at the scene for another hour!
And! Grandpa! You woke me up at around 8 o'clock!
I got up at 8 o'clock, but Xuanxuan didn't arrive until 12 o'clock. Couldn't he sleep a little longer in the meantime?
Do we really have to get up this early?
Grandpa Lu looked at Lu Yunjie with a mixture of disappointment and frustration.
"If I were you, I would have to get up early to do 200 push-ups to keep in shape."
Lu Yunjie's eyes widened.
How many push-ups...?
Grandpa! Do you know what you're saying?
But before Old Master Lu could finish speaking, he continued:
"Afterwards, I'll take a shower to make myself feel refreshed."
"Finally, I'll comb my hair back and tidy myself up?"
“Look at you now, dressed so casually and sloppily. Don’t tell me if Ya Xuan dislikes you.”
