Chapter 49 - 49 Actually, Our Family Is Very Rich49 Actually, Our Family Is Very Rich
Huo Lingfei seated and settled him down. “Our Huo family is being targeted, so you and Jinyan shouldn’t be moving around thoughtlessly. This old residence is safe, and Jinyan has also sent people to keep this place secure, so you should refrain from heading outside.
“Jinyan isn’t an impulsive person, you know that. He’s simply too logical, so he probably left once he’s decided on the best course of action.
“He knows you’re in good health, so even if he leaves it won’t cause the Huo family any issues.
“He must be busy with something if he isn’t responding to your calls. I’m sure he’ll call you once he’s done.
“You watched Jinyan grow up, you understand him better than any of us.”
Old Master Huo was considerably assured by her words.
“After I’m done with this project, I’ll head straight to A City to check in on Jinyan.”

Huo Lingfei smiled at him. “You don’t have to worry about me, no one’s attacked me even though I’ve been all around this while. I’m safe.”
The Old Master thought for a moment. “Alright. Bring some people with you.”
Huo Lingfei nodded.
“I’ll bring two groups of people with me; once I see him, I’ll leave a group for Jinyan.”
The Old Master nodded in agreement, yet he still let out a sigh in the end.
“Still bothered?”
Old Master Huo looked at her. “Jinyan… have a talk with him when you find him. Who knows how many girls he’s angered and driven off in these few years, what with his wilfulness and all. If I hadn’t been on good terms with everybody, we would’ve offended so many people because of him.
“This time, I’d told him I wanted to introduce him to the young lady of the Zhou family, but he left without even saying goodbye before they met. I think he’s avoiding this issue.”
Huo Lingfei could barely contain her laughter. “Why are you in such a hurry? Jinyan’s only just come of age, and besides, he’s so good-looking; there’s plenty of suitors waiting in line for him.”
“How can I not be anxious! It’s not like you don’t know how nasty his temper is! If I simply left it to him to find a girl on his own, I won’t get to see my daughter-in-law in this life!”
Saying this, the Old Master slapped his chair in vexation.
“Alright, I understand; I’ll tell him, but I can’t guarantee he’ll listen. Don’t dwell too much on it; you were too stern on Jinyan when he was young, so now he’s in a rebellious streak. Who knows, he might actually listen to you if you loosen up on him a little.”
Hearing this, the Old Master snorted. “The moment I loosen up, I swear he’ll piss off the entire capital.”
Upon hearing this, Huo Lingfei was beside herself with laughter.

Lu Zhi watched Lu Ning nervously as she walked out. “How did it go?”
Lu Ning cracked a brief smile. “It’s over, I can start work tomorrow.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs she spoke, she pulled Lu Zhi along.
“Dad, I remember the way home so you don’t have to pick me up. I’ll be working here in the afternoon and evening; I can go back on my own after work.”
Lu Zhi looked at her and wanted to say something, but he hesitated.
As he started the electric scooter, he spoke up, trying to pass it off nonchalantly, “Ning’ning, actually, Mommy and Daddy aren’t that poor so you don’t have to work so hard. You’re already in your third year of high school, your studies are more important. We do have money.”
Lu Ning felt that he was simply trying to reassure himself.
“I can juggle work and study well enough, don’t worry about me. Since you say you have money, then you and Mom shouldn’t work so hard; find some easy jobs to do.”
Lu Zhi pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.
Lu Ning sat in the back seat. Seeing her father’s enigmatic expression, she became puzzled.
“Dad?”
Lu Zhi looked at her. Her face was petite and her features tender; how could someone like this be made to work? She should be pampered and cared for at home.
“Actually, our family is very rich.”
