"Why hasn’t the eldest co down yet?" During breakfast, Lu Mingxue noticed sothing was off. His usually early-rising eldest son hadn’t co down for breakfast. "Is he feeling unwell? Wu Ma, go see what’s up."
After sending soone to call Lu Fengqiu, he resud eating breakfast.
Lu Wangqiu didn’t say anything, but his gaze fell on Ah Chen, who acted as if nothing was wrong.
How could she calmly eat breakfast and not fear that he would expose everything?
But right now, he really didn’t plan to expose it. Once he spoke up, his own secrets would be uncovered, causing a lot of trouble and possibly bringing negative effects on Bai Ying.
Ah Chen glanced at him briefly, smiled, and continued with her breakfast.
The change in Lu Fengqiu couldn’t be hidden, and he would see how they dealt with it later.
"Second son, why does your face look a bit swollen?" Lu Mingxue noticed Lu Wangqiu’s face and couldn’t help but frown. "Got into a fight again?"
It wasn’t unusual for him to ask this. When he was younger, Lu Wangqiu often got into fights, coming ho with a bruised face as a common occurrence, even having had fractures before.
He was quite busy, and it was Bai Huii who would take people to deal with it. This brat had not caused her fewer problems.
"Nothing like that, just a minor work accident." Lu Wangqiu said nonchalantly, but his eyes showed resentnt when looking at Ah Chen.
What else could it be? It was Bai Chen who hit him.
Thinking about Bai Ying always having to face her father made his heart tighten; he still didn’t know how to get through this situation.
Just then, Bai Ying ca down slowly. Yesterday, Lu Wangqiu had taught her quite a bit, and she tried hard to make her behavior more like Lu Fengqiu.
Sitting down, she took a deep breath, greeted everyone with a cool tone, and didn’t explain anything. According to Lu Wangqiu, Lu Fengqiu didn’t like explaining himself, not even to his father, Lu Mingxue.
Lu Mingxue didn’t pay much attention and didn’t imdiately notice anything peculiar about Lu Fengqiu.
Until they both headed out, and Lu Mingxue asked Bai Ying about a company project, she was completely at a loss and didn’t notice the steps, causing her to fall down.
Bai Ying let out a scream.
Lagging behind, Lu Wangqiu clenched his fists and cursed under his breath. Damn, is it so easy to get exposed once you step outside?
"Quickly, help Fengqiu up," Bai Huii quickly instructed soone. How could there be a fall early in the morning? This might set a bad tone for the day.
Bai Ying was helped up by the household staff, the pain causing her eyes to well up as she gently rubbed her arm.
Suddenly, she sensed Lu Mingxue’s gaze. Upon lifting her head, she was t with his probing eyes, causing her to instinctively take two steps back in fright.
Oh no, would she be seen through like this?
Ah Chen followed the crowd out, not saying much, but t with a vicious glare from Lu Wangqiu, as if blaming her for everything, thinking of her as utterly reprehensible.
"Eldest son, co with to the study." Lu Mingxue dropped this comnt, fished out his phone, and called his assistant, "I’ll be late to the company, rearrange my schedule, probably be an hour late."
Bai Huii said, "Do you want to check where he got hurt first and apply so dicine?"
Lu Fengqiu was acting a bit strange today, but she didn’t think much of it, only noticing a scrape on his hand. As a stepmother, she couldn’t do much else, but identifying where a child was hurt was sothing she’d notice imdiately.
"Not for now, we’ll see later. This little injury won’t kill him," Lu Mingxue said. The eldest was acting very strangely, he needed to find out what was going on.
His expression darkened, thinking about Yu Xiaoran’s situation from so ti ago.
He hadn’t interacted much back then, thinking the other party was either amnesiac or possessed. Now, with the eldest also showing odd behavior, he couldn’t help but consider other possibilities.
In fact, upon closer thought, Yu Xiaoran might have another case, maybe it’s not possession or amnesia, could it be that situation?
His pace quickened.
He didn’t bother with Bai Ying behind, seemingly knowing she’d follow.
Bai Ying glanced at Lu Wangqiu; he followed too, appearing to enter along with them. She sighed in relief, having soone with her was good, otherwise, she’d really be afraid to face Lu Mingxue alone.
This uncle had a cold deanor that was still sowhat intimidating.
"Mom, don’t worry, big brother seems fine, should be okay." Ah Chen consoled Bai Huii, linking arms.
Bai Huii patted her and said, "Falling and then being called to the study, it feels strange to . Your big brother this morning... really seed a bit unusual."
Lu Fengqiu had grown up under her watchful eye; she knew his temperant better than anyone, possibly even better than Lu Mingxue did about the two brothers.
If you asked how much motherly love she had for the two brothers, there really wasn’t much. Everything she did was for Lu Mingxue. He was her husband, and he had pulled her out of a rut, so it’s her responsibility and obligation to take care of Lu Fengqiu and Lu Wangqiu.
"Big brother is an adult now, mom doesn’t need to worry."
Bai Huii nodded, ever since the two brothers beca adults, they really hadn’t caused her much worry. They didn’t like her ddling, so she naturally wouldn’t interfere too much.
Study.
Lu Mingxue noticed Lu Wangqiu following in too and glanced between the two, having so comprehension. The second son probably already knew about the eldest’s anomaly.
"What’s going on?" he asked.
Bai Ying shivered at this stern voice.
This scene fell into Lu Mingxue’s eyes, confirming even more that the person in front of him wasn’t his eldest son. Oldest sons might seem silent at ho but are actually stubborn, much more difficult to deal with than the second.
When the eldest was very young, he wasn’t afraid of reprimands, much less would he tremble from a single word.
"Second son, you tell , you must know what’s going on, right?"
Lu Wangqiu felt a pang of bitterness, knowing he couldn’t deceive his dad, but he hadn’t expected to be exposed so quickly.
"If you don’t speak, I’ll have no choice but to send the eldest to a ntal hospital." Lu Mingxue’s gaze turned cold. Lu Fengqiu was his son, he would never allow soone inexplicable to replace him, this wasn’t like the situation from over twenty years ago.
At this point, he was also certain that the eldest’s situation was quite similar to what happened to Xu Chang two decades ago.
Now, the entity on the eldest, could it be the sa kind as hers? If it’s of her kind, it might leave eventually, thus there’s no need to worry too much.
He knew nothing of the mysterious, only having his own suspicions.
The mories locked away had surfaced in an instant, recalling the past still left him nostalgic. Happiness was fleeting, and that matter was over twenty years ago, it was no longer possible now, reality has long been acknowledged.
"Dad, things are a bit complicated." Lu Wangqiu, realizing there was no concealing it now, could only begin, "Right now, it’s indeed not the eldest brother. Her na is Bai Ying, the reason she’s on the eldest’s body is all because of Yu Xiaoran."
"Yu Xiaoran, to shake her off, transferred her onto the eldest’s body."
He did think about involving Bai Chen, but was a bit worried about provoking Bai Chen to the point of flipping the table.
If Bai Chen divulged their plans and intentions, his dad might not side with them.
Better to pin it on Yu Xiaoran, as the latter probably wouldn’t want the secret of reincarnation exposed and might take the fall.
Lu Wangqiu thought Lu Mingxue would be angry and slam the table, but surprisingly, he didn’t. Instead, he just asked, "What’s your na?"
Bai Ying replied faintly, "Bai Ying."
Lu Mingxue asked again, "Do you rember things about your family?"
Even though he knew she probably wouldn’t rember, he still wanted to ask.
