Chapter 48: Chapter 48 Being Caught

Chapter 48 -48 Being Caught

Jiang Nan stared at the tightly closed door and involuntarily took two steps back as she thought about her mother-in-law and the Chongxi sister-in-law sizing her up.

Brother Lu held his wife’s hand, comforting her softly.

“It’s okay, I’m here.”

“Big brother, why didn’t you come in when you arrived?”

Mrs. Lu came out with a basin and noticed her eldest daughter-in-law standing behind her son, trying to keep a straight face.

“The elder sister-in-law is here too, come inside.”

Jiang Nan bit her lip and nodded, not daring to meet her mother-in-law’s gaze.

Lu Xiaoting was somewhat surprised but maintained his composure and greeted them.

“Brother, elder sister-in-law, please have a seat. Susu has gone to pick up a few kids and will be back soon.”

Jiang Nan nodded and didn’t pay attention to what the brothers were saying, surveying the room instead.

Noticing how tidy everything was, even the jars and bottles on the shelves were neatly arranged, she pursed her lips and stood up, curious to have a closer look.

All these were fine items from the Department Store, which she hadn’t dared to buy before; it surprised her that the Chongxi sister-in-law had managed to buy a complete set.

Pfft, I’m beautiful, I don’t need all these useless things.

Returning with soapnuts, Mrs. Lu happened to catch the elder daughter-in-law’s scowling face very clearly.

She frowned and looked at her eldest son but ultimately said nothing.

Jiang Nan frowned, feeling displeased. This old lady smiled brightly at that crafty sister-in-law but only showed a stern face to her.

They were both daughters-in-law, yet her favoritism was almost palpable.

If it weren’t for picking up her two beloved daughters, she wouldn’t have bothered coming here to endure this.

“Hahaha, brother, sister, catch me!”

“I’m coming—”

“Ah—”

Hearing the noise in the hallway, three children rushed into the room.

“Mom!”

The sisters, drenched in sweat and beaming with joy, rushed to hug their mother.

“Mom, we missed you so much.”

“Mom, why did you come so late? My sister and I have missed you for a long time.”

Seeing her doted-on little princesses looking dirtier and wilder than ever, Jiang Nan felt a darkness before her eyes.

“Eew, why have you become so dark? Look at the sweat on your heads; I’m taking you to the bathhouse for a scrub tomorrow.”

Upon hearing about the scrub, the sisters shook their heads vigorously and cooed their arms, pleading,

“No, no, scrubbing hurts too much.”

“Mom, can’t we just rinse off in a big tub like grandma?”

“No way! That won’t get you clean.”

Jiang Nan’s brows knitted tightly together as she fanned herself with a look of disgust.

Susu patted Xiao Yu’s head and led the little fellow inside, “Brother, elder sister-in-law, stay for dinner before going back.”

Brother Lu nodded, “Okay, then we’ll trouble you, brother and sister-in-law.”

During dinner,

Jiang Nan couldn’t believe her ears when she heard that the second younger brother’s family had expanded their pickled goods business to the Provincial City. If she hadn’t heard it from them personally, she would have thought she was hallucinating.

That’s not right, I clearly remember in my last life, because of adopting that child, Su Erya was trafficked while running back to her mother’s home?

How is this different from what I remember?

Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.

Not only was Su Erya kind to the adopted child, but she also started a pickling business and expanded it to the Provincial City.

Could it be because I was reborn, other things were also affected?

Noticing Jiang Nan’s gaze, Susu smiled, “Elder sister-in-law, eat more, please don’t be shy.”

“Oh, okay.”

Jiang Nan held her bowl, her mind in turmoil, and the food tasting bland.

She hadn’t expected this Chongxi sister-in-law to be so impressive now; the pickled goods business seemed to be doing quite well.

“Mom, I want to eat fish.”

Xiao Xue saw that her mom wasn’t paying attention to her, so she shook her mom’s arm.

Seeing this, Susu picked the bones out of the fish belly and cautioned the little girl, “Eat slowly, be careful of the bones.”

On the way back, Jiang Nan’s mind was filled with Chongxi Sister-in-law’s gentle whispers, which made him somewhat panicked.

Brother Lu saw that his wife had seemed distracted since they had finished eating, his face filled with concern.

“I’m fine, I probably just didn’t sleep well last night.”

Jiang Nan shook his head, and looking at the worried man in front of him, his spirit instantly revived.

It’s okay, I still have the kids’ dad.

Family Court

Xiao Yu held onto Grandma’s big hand, looking back every three steps.

Mrs. Lu was amused by the little guy, “We are not leaving forever. Once your uncle’s leg heals, we’ll come back.”

“Yes, I hope uncle’s leg heals quickly. And that he won’t get hurt again.”

…

Lu Xiaoting’s gaze was tightly fixed on the slender figure inside the room, and for a moment he seemed a bit lost.

“Hey!”

Susu emptied the footbath, paced forward, and waved her hand in front of the man.

“What are you thinking about, so deep in thought?”

“Wife, you are too thin.”

Hearing this, Susu looked down at herself, indeed, she was on the thinner side, but she was quite happy with her metabolism that prevented her from gaining weight.

Not like before, when even drinking water made her gain weight, she would skip dinner to control her figure and would nibble on a tomato when she couldn’t bear the hunger.

“It’s good to be thin, I like it thin.”

“Too thin, it’s hard to embrace.”

Susu looked at the man in shock, and the man seriously nodded his head.

Damn, this is too surreal!

So this is what you are like, Lu Gong’an.

The moonlight outside the window shone through and lit up the dark room slightly.

Susu lay on her side facing the man, and under the moonlight, she observed his long eyelashes, high nose bridge, and the distinct jawline.

Sometimes, God really seems unfair.

This man was handsome from every angle, and as Susu’s eyes rolled around, she leaned in and kissed him lightly like a dragonfly touching water.

Her index finger touched the man’s cool, thin lips, slightly pressing them, and murmured softly,

“They are quite bouncy.”

The man’s eyes suddenly opened, and Susu screamed in fright, not having recovered yet when her neck was pressed down by the man’s strong arms.

A cool sensation passed through her lips, meeting a pair of deep, dark eyes.

The caught Susu blinked her big eyes, her lips lightly pursed.

“You don’t have to be so sneaky next time, just kiss me if you want.”

Watching as she screamed and then buried her head in the blanket, Lu Xiaoting chuckled softly.

…

Susu, who had not slept well the night before, yawned as she walked out the door and bumped into the neighbor next door.

“I thought I heard someone from your house last night, everything okay?”

The scenes from last night flooded into her mind, and Susu’s face instantly heated up, she quickly made up an excuse.

“That, that was, I thought there was a rat last night, it scared me.”

“Oh, a rat…I wonder why it ran so fast.”

Sister Wang scratched her head, puzzled.

Lu Xiaoting looked at his busy mother, frowning, “Mom, where is my wife?”

“Your wife is busy with the business, I can handle things here on my own.”

After Mrs. Lu had cleaned the house and sat on a stool waiting for it to dry, she noticed that her younger son seemed a bit upset.

She scolded with a laugh, “What? Isn’t mom looking after you good enough?”
