The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 971 - 370: She Will Have to Meet Lu Jingchen Sooner or Later
Mu Shinian almost gritted his teeth as he looked at him and said, "Get out of the car. If you’re starving, go eat by yourself. I don’t have time to take you to eat!"
Lu Yulin’s sudden appearance almost shattered the stability of his current life. The worry that he might know where his cousin is, or even worse, know about Song Nianhuan’s existence, felt like having a sword hanging over his head.
Because he was well aware that once Lu Yulin knew about Song Nianhuan, it wouldn’t be long before Lu Jingchen knew as well.
The so-called cousin-in-law of the past had hurt his cousin so badly that no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t forgive what he did back then.
Moreover, that time Lu Jingchen pushed so hard that it almost made his cousin miscarry.
It was just a little bit more, and the two babies almost didn’t make it into this world.
Lu Yulin was startled for a moment when he heard Mu Shinian’s words, and then he got a bit angry and said, "Mu Shinian, are you actually yelling at me? Back then, you just left An City without a word, didn’t even say goodbye. I almost turned the world upside down looking for you. Now that we meet again, it’s fine you don’t apologize, but you’re yelling at me? Shouldn’t I be the one angry at you?"
Mu Shinian, "Then go ahead and get angry with me if you have the guts." He couldn’t help curling his lips coldly as he said this, his expression tinged with a bit of sarcasm.
Lu Yulin’s face instantly darkened, almost swearing.
Yell at your uncle, yell!
He turned his head and looked out the car window, no longer wanting to look at Mu Shinian’s face, the face he wanted to punch every other minute, and said, "Drive, I’m starving. I know my second aunt is here. If you don’t want me to call my second uncle right away to tell him, you’d better take me for a big meal, or else... hmph!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Looking at Lu Yulin’s side profile, Mu Shinian was so angry that he almost couldn’t resist taking off his shoe and smacking him in the face. He was commanding him like a lord, who did he think he was?
After realizing Mu Shinian still hadn’t driven, Lu Yulin became a bit agitated. He’d flown in the morning, didn’t eat much on the unpalatable plane food, and rushed straight here after landing due to scheduled time. So to be precise, he hadn’t really eaten since last night. He was so hungry that his stomach was practically against his back.
He turned to glare at him again, impatiently saying, "Mu Shinian, hurry up and drive. Who are you waiting for? I’m really starving. Didn’t even have breakfast. Do you want to starve me to death here? Are you that heartless?"
Mu Shinian’s mouth involuntarily twitched. In the end, out of helplessness, and recalling their past brotherhood, he started the car and drove out of the underground parking lot.
After leaving the company, Mu Shinian chose a random restaurant outside for Lu Yulin to go eat. But once the car stopped, Lu Yulin didn’t get out. Mu Shinian couldn’t hold back and turned to say, "Get out and eat by yourself. I have things to do."
Lu Yulin clutched the seatbelt tightly, gritting his teeth, "I have no money on me. If you don’t go with me, are you expecting me to dine and dash?"
Upon hearing his words, Mu Shinian immediately took out his wallet and handed him all the cash from it.
Lu Yulin glared but didn’t take it, asking in return, "You’re not going to have a meal with me?"
Mu Shinian maintained an unchanged expression, "I have things to do..."
Lu Yulin snorted and said, "What could be more important than eating? Or are you planning to leave me here and go have a feast on your own?"
Mu Shinian, "Do you want the money or not??"
The latter decisively shook his head, "Wherever you’re going to eat, take me with you, or is it... was my second aunt the one who asked you to come home for a meal?"
After he finished speaking, Mu Shinian immediately retorted, "My cousin has long divorced your second uncle. She’s not your second aunt anymore."
Lu Yulin chuckled, revealing the first smile since meeting Mu Shinian, his voice no longer angry or domineering, as he said, "I’m just used to calling her that! If not second aunt, then not. But can you take me to... uh, your cousin’s place for a meal? I promise I won’t tell my second uncle I saw you in Paris..."
Mu Shinian didn’t agree right away but looked at him with suspicion.
Seeing Mu Shinian didn’t believe him, Lu Yulin felt a bit annoyed but didn’t dare to really get angry. He suppressed his dissatisfaction and sincerely said, "I really won’t tell my second uncle, nor will I let my subordinates tell him. Besides, think about it. If you leave me alone here, I’m unfamiliar with the place. Even if I manage to get food, what if I get lost or worse, get kidnapped by traffickers?"
Mu Shinian’s expression darkened, and his mouth started twitching.
Kidnapped?
Do you think you’re a three-year-old?
Who would even dare to kidnap you?
In the end, out of helplessness, Mu Shinian started the car. Midway, Lu Yulin couldn’t bear the hunger and asked Mu Shinian to stop the car and get him an apple or bubble tea to tide him over.
Mu Shinian initially refused but, seeing how weak he looked from hunger, eventually got out of the car, making a call to his cousin to tell her he ran into Lu Yulin at the company, and Lu Yulin was stubbornly insisting on coming back with him.
...
Song Qiao was standing in the kitchen, watching the soup simmer, one hand holding her phone, momentarily lost in thought.
Lu Yulin... she indeed hadn’t seen this child in a long time.
Nevertheless, it was unexpected to see him in Paris without even returning to An City first.
When Mu Shinian and she first arrived in Paris, she knew he was disappointed for a long time for having no further contact with Lu Yulin after leaving An City.
About her cousin, she was well-aware that from childhood to adulthood, the only person he could call a friend was Lu Yulin.
Back then, she often wondered if she was being too selfish, so obsessed with leaving Lu Jingchen, without considering how Mu Shinian felt about relocating to Paris at such a young age in a completely unfamiliar place.
Over the years, Song Qiao felt she owed Shinian a lot.
When Mu Shinian asked if Lu Yulin could come over for a meal, Song Qiao didn’t refuse, knowing eventually, they’d have to face Lu Jingchen.
