Even Lu Wanggui, who was far away, looked over.
Xiang Xiaoyuan resigned herself to her fate and climbed out of bed. She picked up her phone to take a look. The person who had sent the message was actually Teacher Yang, who had just added her on Wechat today.
Teacher Yang: [ Mrs. Lu, I’m sorry to disturb you so late at night. I haven’t been able to contact Lu Bei’s class teacher. I have no choice but to send you a message. ]
Teacher Yang: [ When I came out of the restaurant with my friend, I saw Lu Bei and a group of people entering a bar called the Spring Banquet. My friend said that the bar here isn’t very safe. There are often people fighting and causing trouble, and there are also people selling things like... ]
Teacher Yang: [ I’m a little worried about Lu Bei’s safety, but the bar’s security guard said that this bar is for members and won’t let me in. Mrs. Lu, can you see if you can inform Lu Bei’s father to handle it? ]
Xiang Xiaoyuan didn’t expect that not only was Teacher Yang capable, educated, and intelligent, but also very responsible.
After thinking for a while, she replied: [ Thank you, Teacher Yang. I’ll tell Lu Bei’s father now. ]
Teacher Yang replied: [ Then I’m relieved. ]
Putting away her phone, Xiang Xiaoyuan recalled the plot of the original novel. She remembered that Lu Bei seemed to have bodyguards by his side, right? However, these bodyguards were all secretly protecting him and would not show themselves easily. They would only show up when Lu Bei was in danger.
Could this be the protection of a rich family to their children? They did not want to overprotect their children and make them dependent on them, but they were also worried about their children wandering outside alone. In the end, they could only use this method to silently protect them, right?
It was really tiring to be rich.
She pressed her temples and looked up at Lu Wanggui, who was not far away. She repeated Teacher Yang’s words to him word by word, “... so, do you want to go and deal with it? Bring Lu Bei back from the bar?”
Lu Wanggui didn’t even lift his eyelids. “No need.”
His tone could be described as cold and emotionless. For a moment, Xiang Xiaoyuan wondered if Lu Bei was actually Lu Wanggui’s biological son. If an ordinary parent heard that their underage child had gone to a bar, they would probably have exploded. Lu Bei had gone to a bar that was not an ordinary bar. It was a bar that was not safe...
Even so, Lu Wanggui’s expression did not change at all. It was as if the person who went to the bar was not his son, but a stranger who had nothing to do with him.
Xiang Xiaoyuan thought, “No wonder father and son don’t have a good relationship.”
With the father’s attitude, it would be strange if they were on good terms!
As his biological father, Lu Wanggui had such a reaction. As a stepmother, she had no need to worry, so she pulled the quilt and prepared to sleep.
Not long after, there was thunder outside. Xiang Xiaoyuan suddenly sat up from the bed. The weather forecast did not say that it would rain today? She quickly turned on the weather forecast on her phone. When she saw the yellow warning on it, her brows were tightly knitted together.
The location of the shop she rented was on the low side. When she was looking after the shop, she had planned to raise the entrance higher to prevent the rain from pouring in. Now, there was a rainstorm before the entrance was even raised. Thinking of the renovation materials in the shop, Xiang Xiaoyuan could no longer lie down.
She got off the bed lightly and pulled open the floor-to-ceiling curtains. Coincidentally, lightning flashed outside, and in an instant, heavy rain poured down. Bean-sized raindrops fell on the window and also on Xiang Xiaoyuan’s heart.
According to the current situation, the renovation materials in her shop would be lost! That was all money!
The moment she stood up, Lu Wanggui put down the phone in his hand and looked at Xiang Xiaoyuan’s back silently.
What was she thinking at that moment? Lu Wanggui could not guess.
But he could be sure of two things.
First, she was different from before. Or rather, she was a completely different person. He did not know which one was the real her. Second, she seemed to care about Xiao Bei.
Otherwise, why would she attend the parent-teacher conference, actively become a parent-teacher conference representative, and even have Xiao Bei’s math teacher’s Wechat? This was too abnormal.
Xiang Xiaoyuan did not know what Lu Wanggui was thinking. She stood by the window and watched for a while. Then, she made up her mind to go out. She needed to do something to ensure that the rain would not flood the shop!
Fortunately, the shop was not far away from the villa area. She didn’t need to drive to the shop and walk for about ten minutes with an umbrella. The rain was too heavy. She reckoned that even if she didn’t have much use for an umbrella, it was still better for her to be wet than for the materials to be soaked.
Thinking of this, she went straight to the cloakroom to change. Seeing that she was about to go out, Lu Wanggui’s gaze deepened.
Perhaps... he knew what she wanted to do.
“I’m going out for a while. I’ll be back in a while,” Xiang Xiaoyuan put her phone into her pocket.. After confirming that it was safe, she looked up at Lu Wanggui and said.
