Chapter 558: Chapter 374 Don't be afraid, I'm here!_1 It was five fifty, Lu Yinchu got into the car with Nanxi. The latter was very anxious, sitting quietly without saying a word throughout the journey. Her little hands resting on her lap were clasped tightly together, with her fingernails embedded into her palm. She couldn't even feel the pain! Lu Yinchu was on the phone with someone from the Lu family, saying he would be hin half an hour and would arrive before dinner at six thirty.

Although Nanxi felt a sigh of relief, she was still consumed with guilt. The change in her relationship with Li Weihuan was something she was still struggling to adapt to. What should she do next? Would her grandfather and grandmother-in-law notice something...? She hoped everything would go smoothly. For the rest, Lu Yinchu would take care of it, as he said, as she wished, smoothly! A hand reached out, gently holding hers. Nanxi looked at him, stunned.
Bathing in the soft sunset light, Lu Yinchu's handsside profile appeared faintly unreal. However, his deeply set eyes were as dark and shiny as ink, inducing a strange sense of tranquility in others.
"Don't be afraid, I am with you!" Nanxi bit her lip, why should she be afraid? With both Lu Yinchu and Li Weihuan by her side, both men were trying their best to protect her. She had no reason to feel scared! Life dragged people forward with no room for regression. Despite the mistakes made along the way, everyone walked the path that they foresaw-step by step, which seemed right until the end when they found themselves on a winding road! But it was too late to turn back! Just like her now, she could no longer reverse her course! The Lu Residence.
After hanging up the call from Lu Yinchu, Li Weihuan quickly called his father, Li Xiangchen. Shortly thereafter, Qi Qun received a call from Li Xiangchen and left in a hurry! Xia Zhen didn't understand, and asked Li Weihuan. He shrugged, "Don't worry, I will accompany my great grandfather, it's the same!" In this case, Xia Zhen couldn't find anything else to say. Li Muyun was on a business trip, Li Weihuan sent a text to Li Mufang. She might be on her way back hnow! Li Weihuan thought he was quite ruthless, unfilial. To protect the people he wanted to protect, he manipulated his own family. He felt he was really, very unfilicial! Lu Qingtian cback haround six in the evening and was surprised to see Li Weihuan in the living room, "My rad nephew, how cyou're here?" Li Weihuan frowned, not wanting to speak. Xia Zhen cin and heard Lu Qingtian's words, "Why can't he come? Quickly put your bag down, when your brother and sister-in-law cback, we will have dinner!" Lu Qingtian stuck out his tongue, greeted his grandfather, and prepared to go upstairs. After taking two steps, he paused, brother and sister-in-law? Wow, they were about to make this public! Lu Qingtian turned her head and flashed a sweet smile at Li Weihuan, "Dear nephew, my sister-in-law graduated from your school, and she's younger than you. She's remarkably beautiful. When you see her, don't keep staring at her. My brother will be jealous!" Li Weihuan: "..." Frowning, he replied, "Why do you talk so much? Shouldn't we go upstairs?" Lu Qingtian was not affected, "Hey, nephew, I'm your elder. How can you speak tolike that? Not only does this show disrespect for your elders, but it also demonstrates a lack of respect for women. This kind of behavior is exactly what women hate the most in men. You must change this, you know? Otherwise, you'll never find a wife!" Li Weihuan: "..." Who could tell him why his seventeen-year-old aunt spoke so... sharply? Listening to Lu Qingtian, the old man on the side furrowed his brows, pondering. Weihuan and Nanxi were from the sschool and there was only a three-year age difference between them. Nanxi just graduated, and Li Weihuan had been out of school for three years. This meant that when Nanxi was studying, Li Weihuan was a junior. So, had his great-grandson, Weihuan, fallen for Nanxi? Did they have any intersections in their lives? If not, how could he explain the photo of Nanxi on his phone? If so, would someone as astute as his grandson, Lu Yinchu, not detect it? Considering this, why was it that only Nanxi would do? Not to mention that his great-grandson, Li Weihuan, still had Nanxi's picture on his phone. How was he to interpret this situation? The old man rubbed his brow, feeling the situation was becoming rather complicated. Already in his eighties, he tried to keep things simple whenever possible. But indeed, much of the world is complex, and not everything can be simplified just because he wanted it to be simple!

The old man looked at him, sighed slightly, and and asked, "Your mother wanted to ask you something earlier, but she didn't dare. Now I, your grandpa, will ask you, what do you plan for the future? What are your thoughts? I'd like to know!" Li Weihuan paused, then put down his phone politely, replying to the old man, "I want to go into politics or join the military. Whichever you think suitsmost, grandpa, that's where I will go..."
The old man nodded after hearing his words, saying, “Go into politics. Military life is too harsh, and I can't bear to let my great-grandson suffer like that. Most importantly, you need to settle your heart. You're already twenty-five, not a child anymore. When I was your age, I was already a father..." Li Weihuan blinked, then nodded.
"Grandpa, I have to use the restroom. I'll be back shortly!" The old man nodded, "Sure, go ahead!" Li Weihuan stood up and started to head upstairs. He bumped into Lu Qingtian, who was just coming downstairs after putting away her backpack. Lu Qingtian made a face at him and said, "Nephew, you reek of alcohol. It's awful!" Li Weihuan brushed past her without a word, prompting Lu Qingtian to stick out her tongue at his retreating back, "Nephew, you really don't respect women, especially when I am your aunt!"
Downstairs, the old man listened to the conversation between his granddaughter and grandson.
He couldn't help but smile, easing his previous mood. Young people have their own good fortune. He was old now and could no longer manage everything, but he would protect them for as long as he could! Lu Qingtian cdownstairs and complained to the old man, "Grandpa, my nephew is getting more and more impolite. You teach him a good lesson later!" Lu Qingtian sat down where Li Weihuan had been just a moment ago and found something solid underneath her. She picked it up, "Oh, isn't this my nephew's phone?" The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, about to tell Qingtian to put the phone back, when her exclamation filled the room- "Oh, Grandpa, that's not good! My nephew has fallen into bad ways. There's a picture of a girl as his screensaver on his phone!"
