After Bai Yunfei shouted for help, the call was hung up.

Lu Jingnan felt that life was like a play. It all depended on one’s acting.

Nevertheless, what Bai Yunfei said was worth considering. ‘Did he say that Grandma saw me with Song Ruyi?’

Lu Jingnan knew his grandmother’s character.

Normally, if his grandmother had really seen him, she would have called him herself. The reason she did not call him was probably that she knew he was in Jing City but did not return to the Bai Residence immediately and was staying in a hotel instead. She must be quite angry about this.

Lu Jingnan’s grandmother was a very proud woman. She had been pampered by her husband all her life.

She gave birth to a daughter and two sons. Lu Jingnan’s mother was the eldest daughter of the Bai family. All three of her children love her very much.

With three children and her husband doting on her, it was only right for Lu Jingnan’s grandmother to develop a temper.

Bai Yunfei had a good relationship with Lu Jingnan. Their grandmother must have seen him, which was why she had summoned Bai Yunfei and tortured him to extract a confession.

Bai Yunfei’s loyalty toward Lu Jingnan was still trustworthy.

Lu Jingnan sighed. It seemed that he would have to live a more restricted life from now on.

He analyzed the situation briefly, then his phone rang again.

The driver in front wanted to ask Lu Jingnan where he was going next. When the driver heard his phone ring, he swallowed the question. It was better to wait for this busy man to finish talking on the phone.

In the service industry, drivers like him needed to have such a high standard of service awareness.

This time, the call was made by Lu Jingnan’s mother, Bai Yongwei.

“Hi Mom,” Lu Jingnan answered the call and called out ingratiatingly. His voice was unbelievably soft.

In his life, his maternal grandmother and his mother were the two women he needed to coax with a lot of effort. On the other hand, it did not require a lot of effort to coax his paternal grandmother. She would usually be very happy after seeing him.

That was because Lu Jingnan was the biggest treasure of all to his paternal grandmother.

However, when compared to both his grandmother and his mother together, Lu Jingnan was never the precious one in the family. It was both of those women who were the family treasures.

Although Bai Yongwei was not the most favored woman in her mother’s family, she was the most favored woman in the family after she married Lu Jingnan’s father.

After Bai Yongwei married Lu Jingnan’s father, she gave birth to two sons. One of them was Lu Jingnan, and the other was his younger brother, Lu Jingbei, who was three years younger than him.

That kid was born three years later than Lu Jingnan. He was much happier than him. He did not need to bear the responsibility of the family. He could do whatever he wanted to do, and he could even get a share of his bonus every year.

It was like getting something by doing nothing.

Lu Jingnan’s mother was spoiled by the three men at home, so she was also extremely arrogant.

“Your grandmother saw you. You shouldn’t stay in the hotel anymore,” Bai Yongwei said. She was also implicated by her eldest son just now, so she was severely reprimanded by her old mother.

The old woman said that they were really something for not staying at home when they were already in Jing City. Instead, they went out to stay in a hotel. It was as if they simply disregarded her.

Bai Yongwei had to put in a lot of good words to appease the old woman.

At this moment, she did not have the energy to scold Lu Jingnan.

Lu Jingnan had told her before he came to Jing City to keep his trip a secret for the time being and not to tell her grandma about it.

He was very sweet with his words as he said a lot of nice, flattering things that Bai Yongwei liked to hear. Once she was flattered by him, she fell into his trap in a daze.

Then, she became his accomplice just like that.

Bai Yongwei knew that she would be implicated by him in the end, but she still had the thought of being lucky.

She deserved to be scolded by her old mother.

Jing City was only the size of a palm. If Lu Jingnan stayed here for a week, it would be weird if he was not caught. Bai Yongwei could not believe that she trusted her son when he said that they would not be caught.

‘Hmph, it’s only your first day here. You were caught before you even spent a night here.’

“Okay, I’ll be there right away.” Lu Jingnan had to believe that Bai Yunfei might not have lied. He had been spotted indeed.

If Lu Jingnan’s grandmother saw him with Song Ruyi, he would surely be tortured by her to confess everything.

However, so what? He still had to go home despite knowing the dangers ahead.

He knew he would die if he were to go back, but he had no choice but to go back and face death.

‘Why am I so unlucky?’

“Yes. Pay attention to the time. Your grandmother only gave you half an hour. I heard from her that you were with a woman. Who is she? Do I know her?” Bai Yongwei was still very nosy, especially when it came to her son’s gossip. As a mother, she was the most interested.

“Mom, didn’t you say that Grandma only gave me half an hour? If you keep asking me, I won’t be able to make it back on time.” Lu Jingnan did not want to talk about it.

He had no intention of exposing Song Ruyi and her daughter’s situation before he had a thorough understanding of it.

“The outcome will be the same even if you make it back. What’s wrong with satisfying my curiosity before that?” Bai Yongwei had always been ruthless toward her sons.

She had never spent much effort on her two sons since they were young. Yet, they had grown up and looked quite good.

All along, she had treated them as toys.

In her husband’s words, they were born to make her happy. If any of her sons made her unhappy, he would kill them without mercy.

Lu Jingnan rolled his eyes and complained, “I’ve never seen such a ruthless mother like you. You’re also a mother, but why are you so different?”

He thought of Song Ruyi.

Song Ruyi treasured her daughter very much.

“Hmph, when you come back, I’ll get your dad to teach you a lesson.” Bai Yongwei was ridiculed, so she hung up the phone angrily.

Lu Jingnan shook his head helplessly. If his mother was unhappy, she would ask her husband to support her. Such a childish thing was not something a woman in her fifties would do, right?

No, that was what his mother would do.

She was childish and ridiculous.

Coincidentally, it was also very enviable.

Back then, Lu Jingnan suddenly wanted to get married. It was not because his family forced him to. It was because he did not want to be entangled by those annoying women, so he decided to find a shield.

When he told his parents that he was going to get married, Bai Yongwei asked him, “Do you love her?”

Lu Jingnan could not give an answer, but he told her how he felt. “I don’t hate her.”

Bai Yongwei did not care about him. It was up to him whether he wanted to get married or not.

Every time Song Ruyi went to their house, Lu Jingnan’s parents and younger brother treated her well.

Lu Jingnan thought that the atmosphere in his house was quite good and harmonious. His family treated her well too.

That being said, he still could not keep her.

After hanging up, Lu Jingnan asked the driver to drive back to the Bai Residence.
