Chapter 149: Just Too Exhausted

~4 min read 645 words

Lu Xiwán took a deep breath, "Spend more time with Grandpa Luo; he has too many things bottled up inside."

Too many, and too heavy.

All those years of burdens, all those years of ties, were suddenly shattered when someone brutally pierced the illusion.

Anyone would feel uncomfortable for a while.

Grandpa Luo even being willing to speak up is already not easy.

"Do you doubt that everything Yan Han said is false?"

"What she said might be true, but it doesn't necessarily involve her."

That is what makes people feel most uneasy.

Those with ulterior motives have already found a clue about the comrades from back then.

Grandpa Luo's years of effort turned out to be a futile hustle.

Lu Xiwán casually dialed Zhong Yun's number, and got him to the hospital.

"I think this is definitely not an accident; the words Yan Han just said seemed deliberately meant to provoke Grandpa Luo."

To be honest, Lu Xiwán really doesn't think that someone as magnanimous and loyal as Yan Lai would raise a granddaughter who bears a grudge simply because others don't help them.

"I also think, when Grandpa Luo got into trouble just now, she had not the slightest intention to help."

Zhong Yun nodded in agreement, and Lu Xiwán let out a sigh of relief.

As long as it's not something she cares about, random speculation will do.

"Then during this period, you should stay alert and thoroughly investigate Yan Han's family connections."

"I feel there's an even bigger matter waiting for us ahead."

Lu Xiwán slightly frowned; she always feels she missed an important detail.

But at this moment she can't think of anything.

Fu Sijue, holding the two children, watched from afar as Lu Xiwán smoothly navigated left and right, and the way she spoke to them.

He felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart.

"Uncle Fu, let's hurry over to find Mommy!" Xi Xi gently tugged Fu Sijue's hand, carefully watching his displeased expression.

Fu Sijue lowered his eyes to glance at them, his throat choked, unable to speak, "You go ahead, I won't follow."

Xi Xi kept looking back every three steps, unable to bear watching Fu Sijue.

Uncle Fu seemed very sad…

Lu Xiwán, having just finished her explanation, looked up and saw the two little chubby tots running over hand‑in‑hand.

Yao Yao, after arriving, said nothing, looking up at Luo Zhou and Zhong Yun.

Lu Xiwán touched his little cheek, gave an affectionate pinch, but got no response.

"Mummy is mine."

The childish voice, tinged with a claim of ownership, made Luo Zhou burst out laughing.

Zhong Yun, however, seemed ready to argue with Yao Yao.

Xi Xi hurried over, grabbed Yao Yao's hand, and dragged them away forcefully.

Only then did they avert a potential world war.

Xi Xi, still solemn, scolded Yao Yao, "Brother Yao Yao, you're far too impatient."

"Mummy, besides us, will never be with anyone else!"

It sounded like a reprimand, but actually leaned toward him.

Lu Xiwán sighed; she shouldn't have expected Xi Xi, the pampered brother‑monster, to utter a scolding to Yao Yao.

It's harder than soaring to the heavens.

"How did you find us?"

Lu Xiwán was still a bit surprised, wondering where Fu Sijue got the information.

"You have my bodyguards beside you—protecting your safety; aside from the major matters they must report to me, they won't disclose other things."

Fu Sijue seemed afraid Lu Xiwán might misunderstand, so he specifically gave a long explanation.

After finishing his explanation, he remembered he was still angry with Lu Xiwán, and fell silent instantly.

However, Lu Xiwán didn't notice any of these changes.

She was so shaken by these events that she couldn't think further, so she only gave a slight nod.

"Today Yan Han caused a scene, Grandpa Luo fell ill, but fortunately the situation isn't too serious."
