After dinner, the cook cleaned up the dishes in the kitchen, and the housekeeper went to the back garden to look at old lady Lu's flowers and plants.Lu Xijia wanted to go upstairs to take a shower, but sat in the wheelchair and looked at the stairs helplessly.He went downstairs easily without a cane, but forgot that he couldn't go upstairs with his own legs.

Looking back, from the corner of the eye, I saw Lu Yun sitting on the sofa in the living room on the phone, and Lu Xijia took out her mobile phone to play without haste.It wasn't until the intermittent voices in his ears ended that he put away his phone and called the housekeeper without looking back.

Naturally, the housekeeper who was in the back garden could not hear the sound, and it was Lu Yun who came.The other party stopped behind him, "Going upstairs?"

Lu Xijia was silent for a moment, lowered her eyes and said in a choked voice: "If I don't go upstairs, am I going to sleep downstairs tonight?"

Lu Yun's voice fell from above his head: "Since you know you have to go upstairs after dinner, why don't you take a cane?"

Lu Xijia's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she muttered impatiently: "I'm not the only one in the family."

"Who do you want to serve you? The housekeeper and the cook are both old." Lu Yun frowned and reprimanded him, "They are working in the Lu family, not specially here to serve you."

Lu Xijia opened her mouth subconsciously, as if she wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back, and pursed her lips without saying a word.In the next second, he felt his shoulders sink slightly, and Lu Yun put his hands on his shoulders.

The lights in his sight were covered by shadows, and a familiar yet unfamiliar atmosphere enveloped him.Lu Xijia turned her head in astonishment, and saw Lu Yun bending over to bully her, and her other hand swung down from mid-air, as if trying to pass under his legs.

Lu Xijia stared into a pair of dark eyes unabated, but her breathing became slightly disordered.The posture of the other party is a bit like... like——

Lu Yun's other hand fell on the edge of the armrest of the wheelchair, just like those adults who ask their children to look at themselves when they talk, Lu Yun's eyes locked on Lu Xijia's without any mistakes, "Lu Xijia, you are now 19 years old adults, not nine-year-olds."

The man said these words, turned his palms and pressed the back of the chair when he got up, pushed Lu Xijia's wheelchair aside, and walked upstairs without looking back.

Lu Xijia's face was struck by lightning, and at that moment she only wanted to scold her mother.

However, before he could speak, the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs was heard again on the second floor.Lu Yun came down from the stairs, stuffed two crutches into his arms, and asked in a deep voice, "Go up by yourself."

Lu Xijia held two crutches and gritted her teeth bitterly.

Five minutes later, he sat down on the bedside of his bedroom panting, but received a WeChat message from Mrs. Lu on his mobile phone. First of all, he asked him not to mess around before he was in good health. Do it on time.

Then it was mentioned that the housekeeper and cook at home were both old, worried that he could not take care of themselves, so they specially called Lu Yun home to take care of him.In the end, I used to comfort him with a slow voice, it was rare for Lu Yun to go back to live in Lu's house, so we should get along well with Lu Yun, and don't make him angry.

Lu Xijia replied perfunctorily and said yes, her eyes scanned the message three times back and forth, and finally landed on the word "take care".He narrowed his eyes slightly, what did Lu Yun say at the dinner table?Said grandma told him to come back and discipline himself?

Lu Xijia angrily raised her hand and thumped the wall.

After Lu Yun moved back to live, he was so busy that he went out early and returned home almost every day. He probably only verbally agreed to the old lady Lu's taking care of Lu Xijia, but he didn't plan to put it into practice.

In fact, Lu Xijia also felt that Mrs. Lu was making a fuss out of a molehill, and she probably treated him as a minor.When he was doing rehabilitation in the front yard of the Lu residence in the morning, he suddenly remembered that when the school started in September, he would have to go back to school to study.

Lu Xijia didn't want to go to school with crutches, so she immediately sat down on the swing chair with the sling, and called Mrs. Lu to talk about it.However, the old lady Lu told him on the phone that Lu Yun had asked him for a month's leave from school in advance, so that he could rest at home and recuperate.

He was stunned for a second, hung up the phone and sat on the hanging chair to think about it, and felt that this matter was reasonable.Usually, he would ask his grandma for help if he had anything to do, but grandma would naturally be unable to help when she was too old, so she would turn to Lu Yun instead.After going back and forth, Lu Yun was often the one who helped him deal with the troubles in the end.

No matter how patient a person is, after a few years, he will probably feel that he himself is a trouble maker.What's more, Lu Yun has always been impatient with him, so it's normal not to wait to see his own brother.

He was stuck in his own thoughts, and after a while, he was suddenly brought back to reality by the sound of tires approaching outside the yard.The black commercial vehicle that Lu Yun usually sat in drove in from the courtyard gate and stopped in an open space not far from Lu Xijia.

Lu Xijia first wondered why the other party came back so early today, and then remembered that today is the weekend.When the car door was pushed open from inside, Lu Xijia withdrew her gaze, leaned lazily on the hanging chair, raised her mobile phone and fiddled with it carelessly, but her peripheral vision kept falling on the path that Lu Yun would pass by when entering the door.

However, he didn't see Lu Yun striding across that road, but instead heard the sound of steady and powerful footsteps coming straight towards his direction, and the sound became clearer and clearer in his ears.Lu Xijia's eyes were fixed on the screen of the mobile phone, but she couldn't read any words.

Lu Yun stopped beside him, raised his hand to hold down the gently shaking hanging chair, and ordered in a deep voice: "Sit up."

Lu Xijia paused when she heard the words, but she didn't know where she had provoked the other party, but she sat up obediently with her palm on the chair, and asked unhappily, "What are you doing?"

Lu Yun glanced at him with sharp and dull eyes, "Are you taking my words as wind on your ears?"

Lu Xijia didn't know why, but raised her eyebrows very quickly, "What?"

"Zhang Ye." Lu Yun spat out two words, with a cold look in his eyes, "Did you find someone to do his business?"

Lu Xijia raised the corners of her lips with great interest, "What happened to the grandson of the Zhang family? Was he finally condemned by God?"

"He was beaten, and he was seriously injured." Lu Yun suppressed the emotions in his eyes, did not correct the inappropriate words in his words, and looked down at him, "Didn't you do it?"

"This is really a big problem." Lu Xijia laughed angrily, "I stay at home every day, where can I find someone to beat him? Besides..." His lips moved slightly, and his voice gradually disappeared.

"It's best that you didn't do it." Lu Yun finally turned his gaze past his face and walked towards the villa.

Leaning on the hanging chair, Lu Xijia muttered to herself dissatisfiedly: "Besides, you told me not to mess with him, so why the hell should I still do it..."

Lu Yun, who was two steps away, paused slightly, turned around and asked coldly: "Since I was a child, I told you not to do what you want to do. Isn't it rare?"

Lu Xijia: "..."

After Lu Yun left, he called Lin Xi non-stop. He wanted to tell the other party about Zhang Ye being beaten, but he didn't know that the moment the call was connected, the other party didn't even give him a chance to speak. Instead, his tone was fierce. High-spirited and asked first: "You and your brother reconciled?!"

Lu Xijia's face was puzzled, "Damn reconciliation, can the feud accumulated over ten years be eliminated so fucking quickly?"

"Really?" Lin Xi raised her eyebrows, "I heard from my brother that the grandson of the Zhang family received a summons from the court yesterday. While you were lying in the hospital, their company was preparing for a big project. For God's sake, Zhang's company seems to have been dragged down by that project." He paused, and added, "Your brother did it."

Lu Xijia's mind went blank for a second, "I—"

Lin Xi interrupted him rather annoyed: "At this juncture, Zhang Ye was sent to the hospital. Could it be that you hired someone to do it? Did you leave no evidence?"

Lu Xijia: "..."

"I didn't do it." He clicked impatiently, "My brother also fucking thought I did it."

Lin Xi snorted, completely unaware that Lu Xijia's address to his brother had changed from calling him by his full name to "my brother", and only squinted his eyes and smiled: "It's fine if you didn't do it, I've seen Zhang's brother for a long time. The bastard is not pleasing to the eye."

Lu Xijia was quiet for a few seconds, then muttered rather irritably: "What's the use of your belief, my brother doesn't believe it."

He no longer had the time to chat and laugh with Lin Xi on the phone, and after hanging up the phone, he lay down on the hanging chair, closed his eyes and let his mind go.Tens of seconds later, he quickly got up from the hanging chair, moved his fingers quickly on the phone screen, and sent Lin Xi a WeChat message: "I thought of a way to make him believe me."

Lin Xi also replied in seconds: "What way?"

Lu Xijia was triumphant: "A way to completely gamble my dignity."

Ten minutes later, Lu Yun, who was standing by the window with his back to the study door on the phone, vaguely heard a small sound coming from outside the study door.He frowned unhappily, stopped talking and turned to glance towards the door, only to see a small swaying shadow cast by the bottom of the door, and a piece of white paper folded in half was slowly pushed in through the crack of the door.

After the small shadow disappeared, Lu Yun stepped over to pick up the piece of paper and opened it. In the middle of the clean and white paper, there was a line of black characters that were neat but without any strokes——

Jia Xilu.

Lu Yun frowned slightly.
