Chapter 945: 945. Lu Xintong’s phone call

Lu Moqing was talking to the old lady, but his attention was on Qiao Xu.

In the corner of his eye, he sensed her gaze on him with that half-smiling expression, making him feel somewhat guilty and unable to help but cover his mouth and cough lightly twice.

"Good, good, good, you’re back, everyone is at ease now. Xuxu has been exhausted these days, and she’s still pregnant. Grandmother is really distressed about it. You must take good care of her."

Upon hearing the old lady mentioning the child in Qiao Xu’s belly, that strange sense of repulsion began to rise in Lu Moqing’s heart. But he concealed this weird feeling very well, not letting anyone see it.

"I will, Grandma."

Before the plane took off, Qiao Xu had already informed the old lady that they would be home at this time today. So, she had the servants prepare a big table of dishes that Lu Moqing and Qiao Xu loved to eat early.

After this incident, the old lady was truly frightened.

Her son did not come back alive back then, and this time, she was scared and worried once again that her grandson would not come back either.

Now, even if Lu Moqing was right in front of her, she was still cautious and apprehensive, nagging at him over and over again.

This illness had significantly weakened the old lady. Moreover, she was discharged from the hospital in a hurry before her health had completely recovered. So, after dinner, she was already too tired to have much energy left.

Lu Moqing stayed by her side, holding her hand until she fell asleep. Only then did he leave her room.

Qiao Xu did not disturb the grandmother and grandson pair, knowing that the old lady was terrified by this incident.

Qiao Yi was still at the old master’s place and hadn’t been picked up yet. At this moment, she sat in her room with a hint of disappointment on her face.

Now, although her family’s island’s master was back, there was still a lot waiting for them.

Just then, a call came in on her mobile phone from an unfamiliar number.

Qiao Xu glanced at it and picked up, "Hello, who is this?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while. As Qiao Xu thought it was a prank call, the other party’s voice finally sounded.

"It’s me."

Qiao Xu was naturally no stranger to this voice.

"Lu Xintong?"

Qiao Xu spoke softly.

On the other end of the phone, Lu Xintong fell silent for a long time without saying a word.

Seeing her not speaking, Qiao Xu didn’t rush her either. Instead, she put the phone aside and switched to speakerphone.

After a full half minute, Lu Xintong finally spoke slowly:

"I heard from Ah Yu that Big Brother is back home?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xu raised an eyebrow, a hint of mockery in her eyes.

This was the first time Lu Xintong had called to inquire since her family’s island’s master had been in trouble. In the past month, only Song Yu had come a few times. Lu Xintong hadn’t even called, let alone come. This time, it was truly rare.

"Hmm, he’s back."

"How is he...?"

"He’s doing great."

There was another long period of silence on the other end of the phone.

This time, Qiao Xu didn’t have the patience to wait for her, and directly said impatiently:

"Lu Xintong, when your brother’s life and death were uncertain before, you didn’t even ask a single question. Now that he’s back, you’re asking. This makes it easy for me to think too much."

As she said this, she was about to hang up, but she heard Lu Xintong calling her out anxiously, "Qiao Xu, I’ve already been kicked out of the Lu family by you, why do you have to speak in such a yin-yang weird way?"

Qiao Xu couldn’t help but roll her eyes when she heard Lu Xintong’s words.

What does it mean to have been kicked out of the Lu family by her?

Wasn’t it her brother who had kicked her out of the Lu family?
