Chapter 405: Could They Be Connected to Each Other
Lu Liangwei’s lips twitched as she said brusquely, “Are your eyes growing at the top of your head? How isn’t she a girl? Everything a girl has, she has it too. You should take note of how you speak to girls in the future, or you’ll just end up being single for the rest of your life.”
“I was never planning to get married anyway.” Lu Tingchen did not seem to mind.
Lu Liangwei was left with nothing to say. She turned to hold Chu Jiu’s hands, pacifying her, “My big brother has always been mean with his words, but he’s actually quite soft-hearted. Please don’t take his words to heart. His Majesty won’t relieve you of your duties here, I guarantee it. I like you a lot.”
Chu Jiu felt a warmth in her heart. She nodded. “Alright.”
Lu Liangwei heaved a sigh of relief when Chu Jiu listened to her.
Lu Tingchen, however, was slightly unhappy. He gave her a big knock on the head. “You traitorous thing. I’m your brother, but you’re siding with an outsider.”
Lu Liangwei rubbed her aching head ruefully. “You’ll need to pay if you damaged my head.”
“Let me try knocking you on the head again to see if I’ve damaged anything.” Lu Tingchen lifted his hand once more to give her another knock.
Chu Jiu suddenly pulled Lu Liangwei behind her.
Lu Tingchen did not expect her to suddenly stand in front of Lu Liangwei, and his lowering hand landed onto Chu Jiu’s face by accident.
They were both stunned.
Lu Liangwei was standing behind Chu Jiu and did not notice what had just happened. When she saw Chu Jiu shielding her, she got emboldened and said to Lu Tingchen with delight, “You won’t be able to knock me on the head with Jiu around.”
Lu Tingchen darted a glance at the silent Chu Jiu. He felt a little awkward even though he did not do it on purpose. So, he pretended nothing had happened.
He could not help but felt a little envious when he heard Weiwei spoke in a tone that sounded like she relied a lot on Chu Jiu.
People keep coming to snatch Weiwei away from him, one after the other.
There used to be only his father and grandmother. His Majesty had suddenly popped up after that, and now, there was another Chu Jiu.
At the thought of this, he moved around Chu Jiu, who was in front of him and reached out to catch hold of his little sister.
Lu Liangwei shrieked and quickly scuttled away.
Chu Jiu’s lips twitched slightly at the sight of the siblings fighting. She found it a little difficult to continue watching them.
This was something between siblings, after all. She was just an outsider with no right to interfere. With that, she left the room decisively.
Right at the same time, in a remote little town, a bone-chilling scream could be heard coming from an inconspicuous courtyard.
Almost immediately, a voice as cold as ice could be heard. “Who gave you the authority to accept this mission on your own?”
A few supervisors who stood respectfully at the side within the courtyard had their heads lowered. They did not even dare to breathe out loud.
However, they felt curious. Their House Leader had never questioned the missions accepted. Why was it an exception now?
A supervisor boldly took a look at the drawing held in the woman’s hands.
The person in the drawing had been vilified, but at a closer look, the features of the girl in the drawing looked somewhat familiar.
The supervisor thought hard and his gaze suddenly fell onto the face of the woman.
A veil was hung across the woman’s face, but one could still see the ravishing beauty hidden under it.
A sudden thought flashed across the supervisor’s mind.
He had a slightly closer relationship with the House Leader compared to the other supervisors and had the fortune of seeing her true face.
That face belonged to a great beauty, but it had a coldness about it.
No wonder he felt the person in the drawing looked a little familiar. The features resembled the House Leader quite a bit.
If the girl in the drawing was prettier and much older, she would have been a replica of the House Leader.
The supervisor’s heart shuddered at this as he made a bold guess.
The House Leader was quite mindful about this. Could it be that the person in the drawing was connected to the House Leader?
