Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 19 My Live-in Boyfriend

After the three finished their meal, they returned to the old house.

Lin Jingshu hasn't returned from her beauty treatment yet. Chen Hui and the maid are busy in the kitchen.

Nan Xu and Lin Zhengyu chatted on the sofa in the living room.

"Since we're going to start an entertainment company, the first thing we should do is sign people. Do you have any recommendations?" Lin Zhengyu asked, leaning back on the sofa with his legs crossed.

Nan Xu's eyes were indifferent.

What kind of people would she recommend? Her social circle is pitifully small.

Most of them are from wealthy families and don't need to endure gossip and pointing fingers for such a small amount of money.

"No," Nan Xu answered obediently.

Lin Zhengyu thought for a moment and said, "How about this, tomorrow we'll go to the university town or other places with high foot traffic to look for something."

With so many people, you're bound to find the right one.

"Okay." Nan Xu had barely finished speaking when the door was pushed open.

Lin Jingshu walked in carrying large and small bags.

"Oh, our romantic little prince is back?" Lin Jingshu teased.

He then handed the things in his hand to the servant.

Lin Zhengyu is called the Little Prince because he read a lot of fairy tales when he was a child.

But most fairy tales feature little princesses, and very few feature little princes. He didn't like that, so he created his own collection of Little Prince stories.

He also shared it with Lin Jingshu, and from then on Lin Jingshu called him Little Prince.

Lin Zhengyu blushed at Lin Jingshu's words.

"Auntie, please don't talk to me like that. I'm all grown up now, please give me some face."

Lin Jingshu stepped forward and pinched Lin Zhengyu's cheek. "Okay, okay."

Just then, Chen Hui came out carrying a fruit platter. "What are you saying? Why are you so happy?"

As he passed by Lin Jingshu, Lin Jingshu took the apple from him, forked it with a fork, and put it in her mouth.

"Embarrassing things that happened to Zheng Yu when he was a child."

Chen Hui also joined in the discussion.

Lin Zhengyu's face was full of sorrow.

Night fell quickly, and Lu Zhiyan was still working overtime at the company.

He hesitated, wondering whether he should continue to get involved in Feng Hua's project.

The initial reason for wanting to intervene was because of Nan Xu, but now Nan Xu's parents are getting a divorce. It seems Nan Xu won't side with Nan Shan.

Lu Zhiyan took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose.

Never mind, I'll put it aside for now. If Nanxu needs him, I'll help her.

The only difference between helping now and helping later is a little money.

The group was chatting in the living room when they heard the sound of an engine shutting off outside the door.

It looks like either Lin Jingheng or Lin Jianyuan has returned.

Lin Jingheng pushed open the door and came in, carrying a briefcase. Looking at Lin Zhengyu sitting on the sofa, he asked, "You're back?"

Chen Hui stepped forward and took Lin Jingheng's suit jacket and briefcase from him.

Lin Zhengyu hummed in agreement. "By the way, Dad, Ah Xu and I are thinking of starting an entertainment company. Do you have any suggestions?"

Family advice is always better than their pointless, busywork.

Besides, Lin Jingheng wasn't just giving advice blindly; after all, he'd been in the business world for over twenty years.

"Start small, plan your work, and be down-to-earth. That's my advice," Lin Jingheng said, taking a sip of tea.

Lin Zhengyu and Nan Xu exchanged a glance. Isn't this basic logic?

How did it become his suggestion?

"Uncle, isn't this the most basic thing?"

Lin Jingheng laughed heartily, "Just do these things well, I have no other suggestions."

A moment later, Lin Jianyuan also pushed open the door and came in.

Lin Jianyuan had short, black hair, a well-defined face, and a somewhat tired expression. He wore a well-tailored gray suit and gold-rimmed glasses. He possessed an elegant demeanor.

"How many surgeries did you perform today?" Chen Hui asked worriedly, noticing the fatigue on Lin Jianyuan's face. "Four," he replied, sitting down on the sofa.

Lin Jianyuan is usually quiet and has a cold personality, unlike Lin Zhengyu, who is cheerful and humorous.

He always answers questions, but if no one asks him, he may remain completely silent.

Nan Xu and Lin Zhengyu described Lin Jianyuan as a patient with severe sexual frigidity.

Lin Jianyuan never took Nan Xu and Lin Zhengyu's jokes to heart.

Once everyone was present, Chen Hui called them to start eating.

Today's meal is very plentiful, celebrating Lin Zhengyu's return after completing his studies, and also celebrating that Nanxu and Lin Zhengyu have found their future direction.

The meal was lively and enjoyable. After dinner, everyone chatted in the living room.

Nan Xu watched the clock tick toward nine o'clock. She had promised Lu Zhiyan she would go home today.

Lin Jingshu took in everything and coughed.

It instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Auntie, are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to take a look at you?" Lin Jianyuan's caring voice rang out.

Lin Jingshu was somewhat flattered; she knew Lin Jianyuan's personality. He wouldn't show concern for someone for no reason.

She tried to find something unusual on Lin Jianyuan's face.

Lin Jianyuan lowered his concerned gaze because of Lin Jingshu's stare.

When he came back today, Chen Hui briefly told him about Lin Jingshu's divorce.

He was afraid that Lin Jingshu might get sick from anger.

Lin Jingshu explained, "I'm fine. I mean, Nan Xu. She should go."

"Go? Where are you going? Aunt, don't you want Ah Xu anymore?" Lin Zhengyu asked anxiously, placing his hand on Lin Jingshu's forearm.

That damned Nanshan has never cared about Nanxu since she was a child. If Nanxu were to return to the Nan family...

Isn't Nan Xu truly unloved by her parents?

Lin Jingshu gasped, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly abandon my own daughter?" With that, she slapped Lin Zhengyu's hand off her arm.

Lin Zhengyu awkwardly withdrew his hand.

Auntie hit me so hard, it hurts! Lin Zhengyu thought to himself.

Lin Jingheng immediately understood the meaning of "home" that Lin Jingshu was referring to.

He wasn't young before, and naturally, young couples always want to be together.

He gave Lin Jianyuan another disappointed look.

I'm almost thirty and I've never even held a young girl's hand.

Lin Jianyuan was eating fruit when he felt Lin Jingheng's gaze and inexplicably felt a chill run down his spine.

Lin Jingheng snorted, while Lin Jianyuan looked completely bewildered.

"Then what do you mean, Aunt?" Lin Zhengyu asked, puzzled.

"You don't know? Oh, then I'll tell you."

“Nanxu recently started dating a boyfriend, and they’re living together now,” Lin Jingshu said slowly.

"What?" Lin Zhengyu looked incredulous and turned to look at Nan Xu next to Chen Hui. "Explain yourself. I asked you last month, and you said you didn't have a boyfriend."

Nan Xu forced an awkward smile. "We just talked about it."

"You dare to live together after just starting to date?" Lin Zhengyu asked, his face full of accusation.

"And you, Auntie, are you really that trusting of Nanxu? What if she gets scammed? Nanxu is your only daughter."

Just as Lin Jingshu was about to explain, Lin Zhengyu turned his attention to Chen Hui and Lin Jingheng.

"Mom and Dad, don't you care about Ah-Xu's safety at all?"

The three of them rolled their eyes at Lin Zhengyu.

“Who would be as brainless as you? People are reliable, and we have nothing to be fooled,” Chen Hui said.

Indeed, given the Lu family's strength, the Lin family has nothing that Lu Zhiyan could possibly take.

If there is one, it would only be Nanxu.
