BXBX NOVEL Chapter 196 - 196 Chapter 196. Two-faced
He did not know that Zhuang Xian’s mental maturity was even higher than his.
When Zhuang Xian left the vast sea Villa, it was already close to 4 pm. She was sent home by her senior’s driver. She took her things from the Zhuang family’s gate guard and slowly walked into the living room.
Lin En was on the phone with Zhuang Bai, who was overseas. She turned her head to look at Zhuang Xian, who had finally returned home, and said to her eldest son, “Alright, your sister is back. I’ll ask her first.”
Zhuang Bai’s voice was steady and thick as he said to his mother, “That’s fine. If you have anything to say, ask. Don’t be angry. Maybe it’s just a misunderstanding! As Mr. Jason always treats his friends sincerely, he can do such a ‘surprise’ thing!”
Hearing this, Lin En smiled and said gently, “Who do you think your mother is? Do you think I don’t know my limits? You haven’t even met Xian ‘er, but you’re already protecting your little sister. Not bad, please continue to do so!”
Zhuang Bai smiled helplessly at Lin En’s words. “I understand, mother.”
“I’ll ask you one last time. You said you were coming back a few days ago. Are you delayed again?” Lin En asked worriedly. She had not seen her eldest son in a long time.
At the mention of this, Zhuang Bai also wanted to sigh deeply, but he was afraid that his mother would be worried, so he could only pretend to be relaxed and say, “It’s something at work. There was a minor incident, but I’ve almost resolved it. I’ll be back in a week at most.
Hearing that, Lin En nodded and said, “Alright! You have to take care of your body when you’re out alone. Don’t tire yourself out. When you come back, Mom will make you your favorite food!”
“Good! I know, Mom. I’m hanging up.” As Zhuang Bai spoke, he seemed to have suddenly encountered an emergency and was about to hang up the phone.
Lin En quickly agreed. She did not want to waste Zhuang Bai’s time and hung up the phone.
Looking at her eldest son’s number on her phone, Lin En sighed slightly. He turned to Zhuang Xian, who was just about to head upstairs and said gently, “Xian ‘er, wait a moment. I have something to tell you!”
Zhuang Xian stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Lin En. “Mom, you’re done with the call! What do you want to say? Is it urgent? If you’re not in a hurry, can I go back to my room to put my things down?” Zhuang Xian asked obediently.
Lin En nodded. “There’s no rush. You go first! The weather today is pretty good. Let’s go to the courtyard and have some tea later.”
Zhuang Xian glanced at Lin En and could vaguely sense something, but she did not show it. She replied obediently, “Alright, I’ll be right there.”
“Alright, you can go now.” Lin En said softly as she nodded at Zhuang Xian.
The September sun was still warm. It shone on the Osmanthus trees in the front yard, making them look golden and beautiful. The moment Zhuang Xian stepped into the yard, she could smell the fragrance of the Osmanthus in the wind.
Zhuang Huai was sitting on the bench and reading his script. When he saw his sister coming over, he raised his hand and said, “Little sister, come over to my side. Big brother has good news for you!”
Zhuang Ming was sitting beside Lin En, sipping a cup of tea.
Zhuang Xian didn’t expect her father and third brother to be here either. She smiled at Zhuang Huai and said, “Alright, wait a moment.”
She then walked towards Lin En and sat down opposite her. She asked, “Mom, what did you want to tell me?”
Lin En glanced at Zhuang Xian and patted Zhuang Ming’s back. She pointed to a chair not far away and said, “Take your tea and drink it. I want to have a private conversation with my daughter.”
Zhuang Ming was taken aback. “Go ahead; I won’t disturb you guys!”
Lin En glared at him, and Zhuang Ming immediately raised his hands in surrender. “Okay, okay! I’ll leave, I’ll leave.”
Seeing Zhuang Ming leave with the teapot and cup, Lin En looked at Zhuang Xian. She moved closer to Zhuang Xian and asked, “Xian ‘er, do you know Lanwei’s Jason?”
