Chapter 648: Butler, Send The Guest Out

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Lu Heting walked in, everyone was staring at him intently.

He walked in with a cold aura, causing everyone present to tense up. They did not see Su Bei and Da Bao’s figures, only him alone. The elders immediately looked displeased.

He was the only one who came back on such days. Although Lu Heting had already explained to them what the reason was, the elders could not help but feel unhappy and felt that it was because of Su Bei.

Gun Gun ran toward Lu Heting and was pulled into his arms.

The father and son did not speak, but there was a quiet intimacy between them.

It wasn’t appropriate for Mrs. Lu to chide her son in front of Liao Xintong, and it was even more inappropriate for her to talk about Su Bei and Da Bao. She only smiled and said, “Heting, you’re back? Quickly sit down and eat! It just so happens that Xintong is here too.”

It was only then that Lu Heting noticed that there was someone else in the house who didn’t belong here. She was standing there in a dignified and gracious manner. She seemed a little timid, which made his eyes narrow.

Why was she here today?

Lu Heting’s expression turned cold as he pursed his lips into a straight line.

“Butler, let’s eat.” Mrs. Lu pretended not to see her son’s expression.

Lu Heting didn’t even take off his jacket and said, “It seems like it’s not convenient for us to entertain guests on such a day?”

“She’s not a guest…” Mrs. Lu wanted to defend Liao Xintong.

Liao Xintong was very sensible and said, “Mr. Lu, I’m just here to visit my elders and Gun Gun. I’ve also brought some gifts to express my sincerity, so I won’t stay any longer. I won’t disturb you any further. I’ll visit you another day.”

She was taking a step back in hopes that the elders and maybe even Lu Heting would take her attitude into consideration and persuade her to stay.

However, Lu Heting did not think that way despite all the scheming she had in her heart. He really meant what he said. He would never lie to Liao Xintong.

“Butler, send the guest out!” Lu Heting said coldly.

Liao Xintong was taken aback. She did not expect Lu Heting to be so unreasonable. It was snowing heavily and she had already come, yet he still said such a thing…

Her eyes were filled with resentment and forbearance. Unfortunately, Lu Heting did not even spare her a glance. Her fake emotions were wasted.

“Happy New Year, everyone. Goodbye.” Liao Xintong was still very sensible.

Mrs. Lu wanted to have Liao Xintong stay, but she knew that it wasn’t appropriate, and she didn’t want to fight with her son on such a day. She could only watch as Liao Xintong left.

Lu Heting took off his jacket and handed it to the butler.

Without waiting for the elders to speak, Lu Heting said, “I’ve already told you guys a few days ago that Su Bei will be busy during this period. That’s her job and she really can’t take leave, so I’m greeting everyone on her behalf. If there’s nothing else, let’s eat.”

“What about Da Bao?” Old Master Lu asked angrily.

“Da Bao needs to visit Su Bei’s family.” Lu Heting nodded.

Old Master Lu was speechless. Lu Weijian chimed in, “That’s right. My sister-in-law didn’t just jump out of a rock. She has a family too. It’s not unreasonable for Da Bao to visit her side of the family. Grandpa, have some soup. Come, come. Don’t we still have Gun Gun?”

“Great-grandfather, have some soup,” Gun Gun said obediently.

Seeing how smart and sensible Gun Gun was, Old Master Lu couldn’t be angry anymore. He said kindly to Gun Gun, “Be good. I’ll drink the soup.”

Only then did the whole family eat.

Seeing that Mrs. Lu was still unhappy, Lu Weijian said in a low voice, “In my opinion, it’s right that my sister-in-law didn’t come back. She’ll be upset if she were to see Liao Xintong here. That woman didn’t know what’s going on and came to our house at this time. It’s good enough that my brother didn’t leave upon seeing her.”

Mrs. Lu was so angry that she wanted to knock him on the head. He quickly picked up some food and placed it into Mrs.. Lu’s bowl. “Eat! Eat!”
