Chapter 165 Result.

Cecil felt that Smellian was the type of person who was reserved and reserved. Although he looked calm and composed on the surface, as if he didn't care about what he said at all, he didn't know how he was acting coquettishly towards Lu Xia behind his back!

We are all males, so who doesn’t know who?

When the three of them returned home, the old butler had already prepared dinner. Just as Lu Xia was about to eat, Duke Leslie suddenly came to visit.

The old butler invited the person in. Lu Xia stood up to greet him. Duke Leslie smiled and said, "I happened to be out today, so I stopped by to see you. I hope I didn't disturb you. I haven't seen you for a long time and I missed you a little."

The old butler followed behind Duke Leslie, carrying a bunch of things in his hands. Duke Leslie explained with a smile: "I saw some nice clothes while shopping and thought they would look good on you, so I bought them for you. Don't be polite with me."

Duke Luxia knew very well that Duke Leslie probably felt that without Grace's presence, the relationship with Duke Luxia's Mansion would become distant, so he came here deliberately to maintain the relationship, seeing through it but not saying it out loud.

In order to reassure Duke Leslie, Lu Xia naturally wouldn't refuse. She smiled and said, "Just now I was thinking about when I would have time to visit you, but I didn't expect you to come."

Lu Xia then instructed the old housekeeper, "Tell the brooder to bring Little Grape down."

Duke Leslie noticed that they were about to eat and said with a smile, "You guys eat first, don't worry about me, I'll just go up and take care of Little Grape myself."

Lu Xia asked Duke Leslie if he had eaten yet, and if not, they could eat together.

"I ate outside. Don't worry about me. You guys eat. I'll go upstairs first."

This was not her first time in Duke Lu Xia's mansion, and she was already very familiar with the environment here. Lu Xia did not stop her and let her go upstairs on her own, but only instructed the old housekeeper to take good care of her.

After Duke Leslie went upstairs to see Little Grape, Lu Xia brought Smellian and Cecil to the restaurant again. Cecil knew that Duke Leslie came for Grace's matter, so he asked, "Is there still no news about Grace? Do you need me to arrange for someone to go..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xia said directly: "Don't worry about this matter, I will take care of it."

Smellian didn't say anything, simply placing Lu Xia's favorite dishes in front of her. Lu Xia smiled and expressed her gratitude. When the meal was over, Lu Xia got up and went to the nursery. Duke Leslie was holding Little Grape, his eyes red, obviously having just cried. Seeing Lu Xia come in, he quickly wiped his eyes and smiled, "Oh, you see, I haven't seen Little Grape for a few days, and I can't help but see her. Our little baby has grown up again."

Lu Xia walked over and patted her shoulder gently: "Admiral Snoop is still investigating Grace's matter. Although there is no news now, think positively. No news is also good news."

Duke Leslie knew that Lu Xia was trying to comfort himself: "I know it in my heart, but sometimes I feel a little uncomfortable when I think about it, but don't worry, I'm fine."

"That's good. You must take care of yourself."

"I know. How are you doing lately? Are you feeling well? I see you're getting along well with Smellian. He's a good kid, too. It's good to have him around since Grace's not around."

"Well, Smellian is good." Lu Xia responded, then saw the tea and snacks that the old butler had sent over, and handed them to Duke Leslie, "Have something to eat."

"Okay." Duke Leslie took it, still holding Little Grape in his arms. The little guy was now able to sit up, leaning against Duke Leslie's arms, clutching his beloved gem in his hand, smiling happily. Duke Leslie didn't know if she was the kind of person who was close to her grandparents. She didn't really care much about Xiongzi. Grace's sudden disappearance made her feel even more regretful. She wondered if Duke Leslie's interest in the Duke of Luxia's Mansion would be severed.

When facing Little Grape, she really liked him. The cub in her arms was obviously not a female, but just an ordinary male, but she loved him very much.

Little Grape was also very well behaved. Even though she didn't see Duke Leslie often, she wasn't shy. She sat steadily in her arms and laughed from time to time, which made Duke Leslie feel even more soft-hearted.

Duke Leslie didn't stay long. After interacting with Little Grape for a while, he stood up and prepared to leave. Lu Xia personally sent her to the door and said, "If there is any news about Grace, I will inform you as soon as possible."

Duke Leslie nodded and said, "Okay. Don't worry about me, and you should take care of yourself too."

Lu Xia nodded and watched Duke Leslie leave.

When Lu Xia returned to the house, Cecil said, "Sister, don't you know that Duke Leslie is introducing a new partner to Xiuska?"

Lu Xia was indeed unaware of this, but she wasn't surprised. As the only male in the Duke Leslie's mansion, even if Xiuska wasn't as good as Grace and had been abandoned by his former partner, Duke Leslie, who prioritized the interests of the Duke Leslie mansion, naturally wouldn't let Xiuska stay in vain and would definitely maximize their benefits. She was just curious: "Who is the person he's being introduced to this time?"

Cecil raised the corner of his lips slightly. "Xiuska is now only an ordinary viscount, and he can't become a head husband. He can barely be a concubine because of the face of the Duke of Leslie's Mansion."

Lu Xia nodded and said nothing more. She knew very well that even though Xiuska had been abandoned by his partner and had attended Xiongde College, he had the support of the Duke Leslie's Mansion and he himself was a gene fusionist. His marriage should not be too bad, but it just could not reach the height that Duke Leslie had expected.

Lu Xia didn't care about Xiuska's marriage. To her, Xiuska was just an insignificant person. She looked at Cecil and smiled, "How do you know all this?"

"A partner has some connections with the Duke of Leslie's Mansion, and we were just chatting casually."

Hearing this, Lu Xia nodded, knowing that Xiuska's affairs had probably become a topic of conversation in the circle. This was probably the reason why Duke Leslie was eager to get rid of Xiuska, not wanting him to continue to tarnish the reputation of Duke Leslie's Mansion.

Lu Xia returned to the study and just as he opened the door, he saw Smelian standing inside. Seeing Lu Xia, Smelian turned around and said, "The investigation has yielded results."

Although the details were not explained, Lu Xia knew that the investigation results on his previous car accident had been released. He did not expect it to be so soon.

He asked, "Who is it?"

Smelian transferred a document to Lu Xia's terminal. After Lu Xia opened it, he read it quickly and then laughed out of anger.

She didn't expect that even after they left, Mrs. Dayne and Victoria didn't want her to have an easy time. These two guys were really vicious.

Thinking back to when that car rushed over, Lu Xia knew very well that if it weren't for Tucker and the others, she would not be able to stand here safely now. That person rushed over with the intention of killing her.
