Chapter 423

Lin Xiao coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed, and just opened her mouth to speak.

Before she could even utter a sound, Lu's mother unceremoniously pulled her to her side.

He even turned around and pulled her aside to give her repeated instructions.

"You can't take his side anymore. Look at the state he's in. He's always out and never home. You need to teach him a lesson from now on."

Lin Xiao glanced at Lu Chengshen with an embarrassed expression and then offered an explanation.

"Auntie, that...the person who doesn't come home often, it seems to be me."

Mrs. Lu was taken aback. "Huh?"

She was silent for a few seconds, then subconsciously turned to look at the people standing next to her.

Lu Chengshen crossed his arms, looking completely at her with an air of nonchalance, as if he had known all along.

The eldest son, Lu Mingxiao, pursed his lips tightly, his face full of helplessness.

Seeing his mother looking at him, he finally nodded in complete agreement.

“Mom, Lin Xiao is right. After all, he's a frontline worker, and many things require his personal attention to resolve, so…”

When Lu Mingxiao finished speaking, he simply shrugged helplessly, but the meaning in his eyes was obvious.

Lu's mother's lips trembled, and she stood there stunned for a few seconds. Then, as if she hadn't heard anything, she immediately turned around and grabbed Lin Xiao's arm.

His tone, which had been complaining, suddenly turned passionate.

"Wow, Xiaoxiao is so amazing! I heard that many of the frontline staff are men. Women must suffer a lot, right?"

"But you're really amazing, you managed to outshine so many men. That's how we women should be—if we're going to do something, we should do it to the best of our ability!"

"But her delicate skin is really heartbreaking."

"Okay, from now on, whenever you're free, just come to my house. I'll give you a good boost of nutrition then, okay?"

Lu's mother's attitude made a complete 180-degree turn, and she stared blankly at the three men beside her.

Although Mr. Lu was already used to it, he felt a little embarrassed and touched his forehead when he saw his wife's uninhibited remarks.

Lu Mingxiao and Lu Chengshen, standing nearby, were speechless. Under everyone's gaze, Lin Xiao could only nod silently, though her smile was somewhat stiff.

Although she did feel the care and love from Lu's parents at this moment, their enthusiastic behavior was really overwhelming for her.

Left with no other choice, she could only secretly look up and plead for help from Lu Chengshen, who was standing next to her.

Having watched the spectacle to his heart's content, Lu Chengshen finally took pity on Lin Xiao and stepped forward, immediately placing her behind him.

His tone was extremely harsh, showing no politeness even towards his own parents.

"Alright, we've talked enough. We traveled such a long way this morning to get back. I'll take her upstairs to settle in first, and we'll talk about the rest when we have lunch later."

Mother Lu then slapped her forehead and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, you all go upstairs quickly and get some rest. I'll call you when it's time to eat."

Lu Chengshen casually agreed, then pulled Lin Xiao and turned to walk up the stairs next to him.

After they disappeared on the second floor, Lu's mother looked at her husband and son with great excitement, her tone extremely excited.

"How was it? How was it? Did I do a good job?"

Seeing the expectant look on his wife's/mother's face, Lu Mingxiao and his father exchanged a glance and fell silent.

They were very enthusiastic...

But judging from Lin Xiao's reaction just now, it seemed like he was frightened.

Lu Mingxiao was silent for a moment, then suddenly slapped his forehead. "Tsk, I suddenly remembered that I have a meeting to attend today. I'll go upstairs first."

Looking at her son hurrying away, Lu's mother couldn't help but sense a sense of panicked flight from his back.

Unfortunately, her two sons ran faster than the other, so she could only silently turn her gaze to her husband.

Father Lu: ...

Mr. Lu nodded reluctantly, but secretly cursed his son under his breath.

They're all running away faster than the last, and they won't even take him with them! That's just too much!
