Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!
Chapter 424: Second Spring

Chapter 424: Chapter 424: Second Spring

The Royal Cruise incident involved too wide a scope and was suppressed by those in higher positions.

All four masterminds of Meng Lai and Danrus were brought back for handling. Due to their nationality issues, this matter was not only a domestic issue but also related to some international matters, requiring them to be sent back to their respective countries for resolution. However, since the incident occurred in domestic waters, the entanglement in many matters was quite complex.

As for the bodyguards and women on the ship, they were also taken away, needing to face corresponding consequences based on their involvement.

Lu Xining successfully gained control of all the Chu Family’s old forces. Subsequently, she would officially integrate these forces, so many issues no longer needed to trouble Fu Junhang to return to handle them.

Additionally, Cheng Cang became her assistant, mainly responsible for handling matters related to the Chu Family.

Wu Shi personally introduced her to several factions of the Chu Family’s old forces, formally announcing her identity. Lu Xining could sense that this elderly senior truly wanted her to use the powers she held wisely.

That night, there was an explosion on the Royal Cruise.

At the moment Lu Xining exclaimed, she heard the man across from her respond calmly, "I’m here."

He said these two words heavily, but in the midst of the explosion, only a faint trail of his voice could be heard, accompanied by his momentary joy at hearing her voice.

"The matters involved with the Royal Cruise are too chaotic. If not completely destroyed, the things above are very likely to attract research fanatics."

"Xining, this is the best way."

Whether it was the runaway young merman or the other biological experiment subjects that had not been found till now.

This was currently the best and simplest way to handle things.

His voice was heavy and powerful, his dark eyes looking towards the sea’s firelight had already turned to the distant twinkling stars in the darkness.

Lu Xining fell into silence. She hadn’t forgotten what Lott mentioned before about the deep-sea experiments.

The South Western Ocean Desster Strait...

The giant creatures in those abysses, exactly which country’s forces and research institutes were involved in studying them, and the current outcome was that with Lott’s death, they lost all clues.

At this point, as Ji Muye said, the Royal Cruise sinking into the deep sea was the best solution for those biological experiment subjects.

However, the guests invited on board were not only part of Ji Muye’s diversionary tactic but also genuinely invited aristocratic offspring, as well as those ordinary people boarding with thoughts of getting rich quick. They more or less knew something about the affairs on the ship, and if not handled well, it could also lead to some unpredictable troubles.

"I’ll handle the rest of the matters properly. You can go back and accompany the kids confidently."

Ji Muye also missed his two sons and daughter very much, not sure when he’d hear his daughter call him daddy.

Lu Xining listened quietly to his analysis, calming her mind to think about the subsequent handling of this issue.

The two of them simultaneously watched the blazing firelight in the distance, witnessing the previously lavish and luxurious Royal Cruise sinking at a visible speed.

After that night, the two of them did not continue to maintain contact.

In the past few days, Lu Xining was busy dealing with matters related to the Chu Family’s old forces. Having finally sorted out all relationships, she also had to rush to fly to Country C to pick up her three children, just right to meet with Jing Zheng and Ming Yuan.

The movie Ming Yuan participated in shooting before caused a huge stir globally upon its release.

Even though she was only a supporting character, the script’s richness in character setting and storyline earned Ming Yuan lots of audience’ tears, opening up more international recognition for her.

Beneath Ming Yuan’s beauty, her previously overlooked acting skills finally received acknowledgment from audiences outside the big screen.

Recently, she’s been receiving numerous scripts and has contemplated developing her career internationally instead of returning to the domestic entertainment industry.

Moreover, from her voice messages, Lu Xining could sense her blooming in a new spring.

Interestingly, the male supporting actor who participated in the same movie with Ming Yuan, after months of interaction, developed feelings for her, and upon learning of her divorce, pursued her passionately, showcasing the romance of his country splendidly.

Lu Xining could sense Ming Yuan’s concerns, not wanting to enter a new relationship so fast.

But the budding of love always arrives so suddenly.

In Ming Yuan’s voice messages to her, occasionally, the male actor’s voice would come through—sunny, passionate, and uplifting, encapsulating the innate romance of men from his country.

Apparently, when her friend asked for her opinion, Lu Xining knew she was moved.

Her advice to her was: Go with the flow.

If Ming Yuan truly reaped mutually respectful and deeply loving affection, then as a friend, she would undoubtedly support her wholeheartedly.

She just hadn’t expected it to happen so fast.

Lu Xining barely stepped off the plane when she saw Ming Yuan bring him to pick her up.

The man was a typical blond, blue-eyed handsome guy, tall, visibly mindful of managing his physique daily. Though he hadn’t been with Ming Yuan long, he had already learned to carry her bag for her.

He also held a bouquet of flowers.

Upon seeing Lu Xining appear, he handed the bouquet meant to welcome her to Ming Yuan instead of giving it directly to Lu Xining, maintaining a proper distance from his girlfriend’s best friend.

"Ningning, I feel like it’s been ages since I last saw you!"

Ming Yuan gave her a warm hug.

Lu Xining hugged her back, teasing with a smile, "Then move back to the manor tonight."

Not long after confirming their relationship, Ming Yuan had already moved out, but instead of moving into her boyfriend’s house, she bought a high-end apartment in the city center.

Her new boyfriend, wanting to be closer to her, directly purchased the apartment opposite hers.

Technically, they were "cohabiting" at the closest distance.

"Sure, I was just thinking about it. I haven’t seen my darling Nuonuo in so long."

Ming Yuan just ended all her piled-up schedules yesterday, earning a brief three-day holiday. Compared to her compact schedule, her boyfriend’s schedule was very relaxed.

Being a third-generation wealthy himself, he wasn’t in want of money and only entered the acting circle out of interest in acting.

"An Cheng, let me introduce to you, this is my best friend, Lu Xining. Her daughter is my goddaughter, the Little Dumpling you saw in the video with me before."

"Ningning, he is An Cheng, from Country C, my new boyfriend."

Lu Xining shook hands with An Cheng, getting to know each other a little. From the first moment she met him, she felt he was brimming with enthusiastic vitality.

More importantly, the way he looked at Ming Yuan was always filled with doting affection.

Their atmosphere together made one feel very comfortable.

She leaned closer to Ming Yuan’s ear and whispered quietly, "If Mr. An is available, why not invite him back to the manor for a simple meal and properly introduce him to everyone, let us check him out for you."

"Tonight, Jing Zheng, Monkey, and other seniors and juniors from the lab are all here. Let’s have a gathering."

Ming Yuan had no objections to this, and after consulting An Cheng’s intentions, she brought him back to the manor castle.

Just as they got off the car, they saw the yellow Little Dumpling dashing over.

"Mommy—"
