Hearing this, Chu Xinyue rolled her eyes at him. “You’re making fun of me again!”
Xie Xuan asked lazily, “What did you say when you saw Dad?”
Chu Xinyue’s smile disappeared, and her expression became extremely serious. “He asked me to pass on a message to you.”
“Hm?” Xie Xuan stood up straight.
Chu Xinyue said, “He hopes you can understand Grandfather’s true motive for chasing you out of the Xie family at this time.”
Xie Xuan narrowed his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
His tone was still nonchalant. “What else could it be? A biological grandson is not as good as a painting.”
“You…” Chu Xinyue knew that he understood, which was why he could joke so casually. “Anyway, you’re on your own now, so you have to be careful at all times, understand?”
Just as Xie Xuan was about to answer, he looked up and saw Xie Er loitering in the garden.
He was a decisive person and rarely had such a troubled expression.
Just as Xie Er looked over, Xie Xuan raised his hand and made a “come over” gesture.
Seeing this, Xie Er stiffened. He had already been discovered, so he could only
brace himself and move closer.
“Boss!”
Xie Xuan put down his phone and said calmly, “What’s the matter?”
Xie Er swallowed his saliva and stammered, “No, no…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Xie Xuan stared at him coldly. “When did you learn to lie to me?”
The temperature seemed to drop.
After a brief struggle, Xie Er took a deep breath and said, “Boss, Miss Lu… I think something happened..”
Xie Xuan frowned.
The dangerous feeling in the air became stronger and stronger.
He raised his phone again and hurriedly said, “Mom, I have something to do.
Talk to you later.” Then, he ended the video call.
On the other end of the phone, Chu Xinyue clearly heard the words “Miss Lu”.
At the same time, she could feel the unprecedented nervousness in her son’s
tone.
Miss Lu?
Who was Miss Lu?
Chu Xinyue frowned and pondered. A moment later, her eyes lit up.
Did her son have a girlfriend?
It was late at night.
The bright moon was reflected in the swimming pool in the villa. The water rippled and shattered into light and shadow.
Xie Xuan stood by the pool with one hand behind his back. The cold aura
emitted from his body made Xie Er, who had followed him for many years, swallow.
“What the hell is going on?”
Xie Er quickly explained, “Boss, it’s like this. In the evening, when I was cleaning the memory card of the dashcam, I accidentally discovered an image of Miss Lu…”
As he spoke, he took out his phone and clicked on a video clip.
The black Volkswagen stopped in front of Lu Haiqiao. After a few seconds of stalemate with the three men in black, she got into the back seat.
Although the camera didn’t capture her face, he could tell how unwilling she was from her slow movements.
Just as the videoclip was about to reach the end, Xie Xuan seemed to have thought of something and took out his phone.
He remembered seeing Lu Haiqiao’s post on WeChat Moments before the video call with his mother. Even though it was just a game sharing, he still”liked” it.
As expected, there was a location display under that WeChat Moments.
Nansha Bay International Resort.
Xie Xuan put away his phone and walked towards the entrance of the villa. At the same time, he instructed, “Get Xie Da to drive the car to the entrance and wait for me there.”
Xie Er immediately replied, “Yes, Boss!”
