Chapter 240 - 241: Wait for Me to Find You (5)
Lou Xi looked at the angry Lou Jian Country, thought for half a second, and then explained, "Dad, it’s not like that. That person was just a driver. I don’t even know him."
"Why would someone you don’t know drive you back? A driver? What’s your status that you need a driver to take you home?" Lou Jian Country clutched his chest in anger, fearing he might have a heart attack, "I knew it, I knew it from when you were little. You’re not content with your situation and insisted on going out and getting involved with some rich guy. Even if you’ve hooked up with a rich guy, why come back? It’s embarrassing!"
Lou Xi was stunned by Lou Jian Country’s words. She wasn’t discontent with her life; she wanted to apply to Nan University simply because it offered the program she liked, and her grades were sufficient to get in.
She hadn’t hooked up with any rich guy! That was her boyfriend.
"Dad, I haven’t hooked up with a rich guy. All this was arranged by my boyfriend. Originally, he was supposed to come back with us today, but something came up last minute, so he couldn’t come with me. But he will definitely come back in a couple of days," Lou Xi tried her best to explain to Lou Jian Country, but he wouldn’t listen.
"He’s coming over? Don’t you dare let him come over. If he does, I’ll kick you both out!" Lou Jian Country said in a particularly harsh tone.
"Dad..." Lou Xi didn’t know what to say to change Lou Jian Country’s mind.
She looked at Lou Nan but didn’t expect her to help explain, as she was busy talking to Yang Lihua, and Yang Lihua’s expression turned more rigid the more they talked. Yang Lihua’s face darkened more when she looked at Lou Xi.
Back then, after Yang Lihua had Lou Nan, she acted indifferent towards Lou Xi.
If Lou Jian Country hadn’t stopped her, perhaps Yang Lihua would have thrown Lou Xi out long ago.
So, even till now, Lou Xi was somewhat afraid of Yang Lihua. Most of her part-time earnings were given to Yang Lihua.
In the current situation, no matter what Lou Xi said, they wouldn’t believe her, so it was better to say nothing.
"Dad, I understand." Lou Xi bowed her head, tightly clutching the hem of her clothes.
"If you understand, then get inside quickly!" Lou Jian Country said heavily and then took Lou Xi’s luggage inside.
Lou Xi used the excuse of going to the bathroom, and once inside, she quickly turned on her phone to see the WeChat message from Qin Mobai.
Without checking the message, she directly called Qin Mobai, wanting to tell him not to come over for the National Day holiday. Instead, she planned to discuss everything clearly with Lou Jian Country and Yang Lihua first before letting Qin Mobai come over, to prevent making matters worse.
Moreover, Qin Mobai had never faced any difficulty since he was young. If Lou Jian Country and Yang Lihua showed him any disrespect, Young Master Qin wouldn’t be able to handle it.
Considering all these factors, Lou Xi decided it was better for Qin Mobai to visit her parents later. She realized she had been a bit too impatient, thinking about bringing him back during the National Day holiday just like that.
The call was answered quickly, and Qin Mobai’s voice came through.
"Have you arrived?"
"Yeah, just arrived, just turned on my phone."
"Why does your voice sound so strange? Tired from the flight?"
Qin Mobai could even pick up on the slight change in Lou Xi’s voice, which made her emotions particularly mixed.
"Young Master Qin, is your work done?"
"Yeah, almost. I can head over tomorrow morning."
"...Young Master Qin, you actually don’t have to... come over," Lou Xi said, closing her eyes.
"Hmm?" Qin Mobai asked faintly.
