BXBX NOVEL Chapter 491 - No Man? Am I Not One?
Chapter 491: No Man? Am I Not One?
Upstairs, a hot sleepless night had begun. Their bodies were intertwining with each other again and again.
As for the elders downstairs, they chatted happily until late night before going home.
In such a loving family, when Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao’s baby was born, how would it be pampered by them?
But with the situation Xiao Qi was in currently, having a child seemed to be too early for her.
...
Late night, at Lu Mansion.
Lu Qianqian had just taken her bath and was getting ready to go to bed. But suddenly, she felt something was moving beneath the blanket.
She was shocked and quickly pulled her blanket. There she saw a big black mamba lying on her bed.
She paled and shouted, “Mommy!”
Mama Lu heard her scream and rushed into her room. Then, she saw more snacks at the dressing table. And Lu Qianqian was trapped in the bathroom for now.
“Mommy, there are snakes.”
Mama Lu was shocked. She immediately got the bodyguards to get rid of the snacks. After they had captured all the snacks they saw, she got Lu Qianqian out of the bathroom. “Are you alright? Are you hurt?”
Lu Qianqian shook her head. But she still looked pale. Thinking back what she saw just now, her body shivered with fear.
“Let’s sleep at a hotel tonight and let them check and clear the whole area. Otherwise, you will not be able to get a good rest.”
Mama Lu and Lu Qianqian booked a hotel nearby. It wasn’t until when she was sitting on the sofa that Lu Qianqian calmed down and gathered her thoughts. “Someone must have done this deliberately.”
“We shall look into the matter tomorrow.” Mama Lu hugged Lu Qianqian and coaxed her to sleep. “Get some sleep. You still have to go to the company tomorrow. Stay strong, I am here for you.”
Lu Qianqian hugged Mama Lu. Her hands were still trembling. There was no man in the family now. and with just the two of them in the family, they were easily bullied as they were too weak to fight back.
“Mommy, are you not scared?”
“If I am scared, who will support us?” Mama Lu patted Lu Qianqian on the back.
Lu Qianqian teared up. But she did not let herself cry. “I better not find out who did this. Or else, I will repay him twice as much.”
“Your uncles could not do anything to you now. So they could only use these dirty tricks to disgust us. Well, it’s late, let’s sleep already.”
Lu Qianqian nodded. She resisted her fear and closed her eyes. But in the middle of the night, she was still awakened by her nightmare. She dared not tell her mother. She was afraid of revealing her weakness. So, she went into the bathroom and wept sadly.
Now, she had nobody else to depend on, so she texted Lin Mu’an.
“Mu’an.”
Lin Mu’an had set a special ringtone for Lu Qianqian’s number to remind himself to reply to her message anytime when she texted him.
“What’s wrong?” Lin Mu’an lay on his side to block the light of the phone.
“My mother and I are staying in a hotel tonight. There were snakes in my house.”
Lin Mu’an sat straight up from the bed immediately. “Were you bitten by the snakes?”
“No, I’m just scared and want to talk to you.”
“Do you know who is behind this?”
“I can only find a way to investigate it tomorrow,” said Lu Qianqian, “Just because there is no man in my family, people bully us...”
“No man? Am I not one?” Lin Mu’an said quickly. “Got to sleep first. I will coax you to sleep. You still need to go to work tomorrow. Just let me handle the matter.”
“Okay.” Lu Qianqian trusted Lin Mu’an very much.
As for Lin Mu’an, everything he had now was because of Sheng Xiao. Nevertheless, he would rather negotiate with Sheng Xiao than comply with the Lin family.
It seemed that having just male bodyguards in the house was not enough.
So, the next morning, a female bodyguard came to the mother and the daughter of the Lu family.
Lu Qianqian blinked her eyes in confusion. But the female bodyguard said, “I am a professional bodyguard trained overseas. I am hired to take care of Miss Lu and Mrs. Lu.”
Lu Qianqian was startled. “You are...”
“I am hired by Zhongteng. I have learned your situation, Miss Lu. In the future, I will be in charge of making sure you can sleep well.”
Lu Qianqian understood now. It must be Lin Mu’an who had made the arrangements.
In fact, to repay Sheng Xiao’s favor, Lin Mu’an was doing writing related work for Zhongteng, using his skills as a writer.
And he had resumed writing books, but not using his old pen name, “Lin Mu’an”. He was determined to abandon that name. He planned to earn some money to make some investments. He did not want to be a useless gigolo.
He must have a status compatible to his little pepper.
“How did Mu’an know about this so fast?” Mama Lu looked at the female bodyguard in confusion.
“I told him last night.”
Mama Lu nodded and patted on her daughter’s shoulder. “Since it is Lin Mu’an’s good intentions, you should not refuse it. Then only he will be rest assured in the police academy.”
Lu Qianqian smiled and shook the bodyguard’s hand. “I will count on you in the future.”
“Don’t mention it, Miss Lu. If you are okay with it, can you let me check the surroundings of Lu Mansion? I will install some equipment that will enable me to monitor the safety of the mansion more easily. I will not bother your life. But still, I will be able to remove all possible threats.”
“I will help you to get it done. Qianqian, you should go to work now.”
Male bodyguards were strong. But it was inconvenient for them to take care of two women because of the difference in their gender.
For instance, the men could not get into Lu Qianqian’s bedroom.
With a female bodyguard, the problem could now be solved.
But, to be safe for sure, Lu Qianqian had already been thinking of selling the old mansion of the Lu family. She wanted to move to another place with more advanced safety facilities.
She did not want to take measures only after things happened.
After that, Lu Qianqian entered the building of Lu Holdings. She had a meeting with the vice CEO in the morning. But before she could enter her office, she ran into her youngest Uncle Lu.
“Qianqian, you look as if you didn’t sleep well.”
“Thanks to you, I am still standing.”
“Great, then my worry for you is unnecessary. But have you heard the news that Grandpa Lin has fallen sick? I think you should know because of your relationship with Young Master Lin.”
“I don’t even know you have a connection with the Lin family. You even know that Old Lin is sick.”
“His grandson was snatched away by you. Of course, it is only natural that we, as the Lu family, should get to know the situation of his grandson. Don’t you think?” Uncle Lu smiled and walked away from Lu Qianqian. He was deliberately embarrassing Lu Qianqian.
Lu Qianqian was uncertain whether Old Lin fell sick for real, or whether he was colluding with Uncle Lu to trick Lin Mu’an.
But her uncle was such a ruthless character. He was intentionally bothering her.
Just how much he wanted to stop her from taking office?
