"Aren't you in a hurry to go back?" In Lu Ning's opinion, Xie Qingying was always very busy and seemed to have little time to sit down with her.

"No rush, things have been almost dealt with." Xie Qingying nodded. The project in Linshan County has basically been finalized, and the next step is to wait for the official start of construction.

Lu Ning rubbed her belly and suddenly asked, "Want to go out for a walk together?"

Xie Qingxing paused, then nodded, "Okay."

The two men got up and went out.

When we say we are going out for a walk, we are just strolling around the Lu family's yard.

But as soon as Lu Ning opened the door, she saw a figure in the yard.

Lu Qing rushed back, exhausted, and was standing outside the door. After seeing Lu Ning and Xie Qingxing, he seemed a little at a loss.

"Lu Ning, is mom okay?" After a long while, Lu Qing finally spoke.

But the words that came out were dry and had no nutritional value.

"Mom is fine, but you should go in and take a look yourself." Lu Ning said as he moved aside from the door.

She didn't know whether Lu Qing was really busy with work or couldn't get away because of something else, but looking at his expression, he seemed to feel guilty for not being able to get back in time.

Seeing Lu Ning move aside, Lu Qing did not rush in.

Cold sweat oozed from his forehead and he was obviously a little nervous.

This was the first time Lu Ning saw Lu Qing like this.

He no longer had the calmness and composure that Lu Ning had when she first met him. He looked like a puppet being controlled by someone and had lost his soul.

Lu Ning couldn't help but want to go forward and shake him awake, but before she could move, she suddenly saw the progress bar of the side quest above her head slowly move forward.

Lu Ning: “…” It’s Lu Qing’s side quest.

So it was because of his guilt towards Lu's mother that Lu Qing's obsession with He Xiran weakened?

"Brother? Lu Qing?" Lu Ning looked at Lu Qing standing there in a daze and felt that something was wrong with Lu Qing's condition.

Just when Lu Ning wanted to go forward to pull Lu Qing, Lu Qing, who had been motionless, seemed to be suddenly awakened. He looked at Lu Ning and opened his mouth, "I'll go in right away."

Lu Qing's voice was hoarse and his face was pale, looking as if he hadn't rested for a long time.

Lu Ning turned around and watched Lu Qing walk in, only to find that strange feeling becoming more and more obvious.

"Are you worried?" Xie Qingying saw Lu Ning staring at Lu Qing's back, and suddenly approached and asked.

Lu Ning nodded. She always felt that Lu Qing’s condition was not right. If she let it go on like this, not to mention her side quest, even Lu Qing himself would be ruined.

Suddenly, Lu Ning frowned.

She poked at the system instead.

"System, could Lu Qing's current changes be related to the world's will?"

[The host is currently unable to correctly predict whether it is related to the world's will. 】

Unable to get anything out of the system, Lu Ning could only rely on his own analysis.

Since the world's will wants to bring the plot back to the 'right track', the Lu family is bound to go bankrupt.

There are only a few possible reasons that could cause the Lu family to go bankrupt. Cheng Qian's previous failure to kidnap Lu's mother eliminated one of the possibilities.

Seeing Lu Qing's current state, could it be that the will of the world is planning to start from within the Lu family?

Thinking about this, Lu Ning suddenly grabbed Xie Qingxing's wrist and asked, "How much do you know about the Lu family's situation?"

Lu Ning couldn't ask Lu's father or Lu Qing directly, so he could only think of a solution from other angles, such as his own villain.

After all, Xie Qingying is the villain in the original book and a business upstart. He must know more about Lu’s current situation than she does.

This was the first time Xie Qingxing heard Lu Ning ask about the Lu family's situation. After thinking for a while, he briefly explained.

According to Xie Qingying, Lu's development is normal at present. Although it cannot be said to be at its peak, there is no sign of it going downhill.

Lu Ning thought about it and decided to find time to find out more information from Lu's father.

"Should we go back now or continue walking?" Xie Qingying asked after seeing a glimpse of understanding in Lu Ning's eyes.

Even though he had guessed what Lu Ning was thinking, he still couldn't help but ask.

Lu Ning stretched out his arm and pointed behind him, saying, "I think there's something interesting to watch. How about we go back and watch it?"

Knowing that Lu Qing was not in good condition, Lu Ning wanted to find out what was going on with him even more. Now that a great opportunity was in front of him, there was no reason for Lu Ning to give up.

"Let's go." Xie Qingxing suddenly smiled, took Lu Ning's hand and walked back.

As the two men walked to the door, they heard a noise coming from inside.

In the living room, Father Lu's voice was filled with anger, and he was obviously scolding Lu Qing.

Lu Ning paused when she pushed the door. She leaned against the door and listened to the noise inside, as if she was not going back to her own home.

Xie Qingying looked at Lu Ning's actions but did not stop her. He just stood quietly by the side, but also paid attention to the movements in the room.

Soon, the room became quiet.

Lu Ning took the opportunity to push open the door, as if she had really just returned from a walk with Xie Qingxuan.

She looked towards the living room and saw Lu Qing sitting on the sofa beside her with his head down, like a mushroom hiding in a dark corner.

"What happened?" Lu Ning walked in and sat down next to Lu's mother.

Lu's mother's face also didn't look very good, but it was better than Lu's father's.

She grabbed Lu Ning's hand, took a deep breath, and then said, "It's just a small matter, it's been taken care of."

"Is it really a small matter?" Lu Ning looked past Lu's mother and towards Lu's father opposite.

Father Lu's eyes were blazing with anger. He met Lu Ning's gaze and cleared his throat. "It's all because of your brother. He actually came back to tell me that we should let Cheng Qian go. What kind of words did he say!"

Even though Lu Ning was mentally prepared, she couldn't help but look at Lu Qing in confusion after hearing what he said.

"Brother, do you really think so?"

After hearing Lu Ning speak, Lu Qing, who had been lowering his head, finally responded.

He raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Lu Ning, and said in a hoarse voice: "Xiao Ning, don't worry about this matter."

[Host, Lu Qing looks like he's possessed.]

Lu Ning: "Possessed? Is there something weird in the world of this book?"

[Host, please believe me, this is just an ordinary melodramatic story. The evil spirit I mentioned is just a metaphor, a metaphor.]

Lu Ning was too lazy to argue with the system. She looked at Lu Qing, suddenly stood up and walked towards him.

Then, Lu Ning stretched out her hand towards Lu Qing, but was dodged by Lu Qing the moment she was about to touch him.

The system said that this world is just an ordinary melodramatic setting, so there probably won’t be any weird things.

But Lu Qing's current condition was indeed a little bit off. If it wasn't due to evil spirits, then the most likely thing was that there was something wrong with his brain.

Seeing Lu Ning approaching, Lu Qing subconsciously took precautions and even clenched his fists, as if he was going to swing at Lu Qing in the next second.

Seeing that Lu Qing was staring at her and was even planning to attack her, Lu Ning took out something from behind and dropped it on the back of Lu Qing's neck before Lu Qing could make a move.
