113: Chapter 112 Where Am I Sleeping Tonight?_1 113: Chapter 112 Where Am I Sleeping Tonight?_1 When Cao Bin heard Lu Chuan’s words, he was obviously speechless, “Crazy, seriously crazy.

You think you can get Mu Xing to replace me?

Who do you think you are?”

Mu Xing also felt that what Lu Chuan said was a bit too exaggerated, so he said, “Brother-in-law, I know you mean well for me, but what you said is clearly out of anger.

You should sit down and talk it over.”

Lu Chuan said indifferently, “Whether what I’ve said is true or not, you’ll soon find out.”

The moment he entered and saw Mu Xiaoqing and Cao Bin together, he knew he couldn’t keep a low profile any longer.

Otherwise, these people would always come over and cause trouble.

So, he sent a message to Wu Wei, telling him to come over immediately.

Mu Xiaoqing stood up, walked over, looked at Lu Chuan with disdain, and said, “Enough with the act.

If you really had that capability, would you still be working at the medical clinic?

Why don’t you say that the VIP the Wu Family Patriarch welcomed today was you?”

“Indeed, the person I welcomed today is Brother Lu Chuan,” a deep voice rang out.

“Who’s blabbering here?” Mu Xiaoqing cursed under her breath before turning to look behind her.

When she saw Wu Wei already standing at the doorway, her entire body shuddered with fear, “Wu…

Wu Family Patriarch!”

Everyone in the room looked toward the entrance in utter disbelief, never expecting the highly respected Wu Family Patriarch to show up here!

Cao Bin could clearly sense the respect Wu Wei had for Lu Chuan as they chatted, something no one in Pingyang County had ever received!

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his body couldn’t help trembling as he then forced a smile and asked cautiously, “Family Head, why…

why have you come here?”

Wu Wei ignored Cao Bin and walked into the room, then approached Lu Chuan, greeted him with a gesture, and said, “Brother Lu Chuan.”

Lu Chuan smiled and asked, “How did you get here so quickly?”

Wu Wei replied with a smile, “When you messaged me, I just happened to be passing by, so I came straight up.”

Lu Chuan nodded, then turned to Mu Xiaoqing and Cao Bin, asking, “Now do you believe what I told you?”

Cao Bin swallowed hard, a hint of unease creeping into his heart.

Mu Xiaoqing was still in disbelief, “You…

you’re the big shot the Wu Family Patriarch was welcoming?

How is this possible, didn’t you say you only worked at the medical clinic?”

Lu Chuan replied with a smile, “Who says you can’t know the Wu Family Patriarch if you work at a medical clinic?”

Mu Xiaoqing’s face showed regret and despair.

She quickly moved closer to Lu Chuan and said, “Lu Chuan, actually, I was dreaming and not fully awake earlier, throwing a tantrum.

Don’t take it to heart…”

Lu Chuan smirked, “Sorry, but what you’re saying now won’t move me.”

He turned to Wu Wei and said, “Wu Family Patriarch, please do me a favor.

Remove this Cao Bin from his position and let my little uncle take his place.

I’ve promised to find a job for my little uncle.”

Cao Bin immediately shouted, “Who do you think you are?

Why should the Wu Family Patriarch listen to you?

Do you think the Wu family’s assets belong to you?”

Wu Wei chuckled and said, “You guessed right.

Half of my Wu family’s assets belong to Brother Lu Chuan.”

The crowd was dumbfounded once again.

Zhang Yufeng, Mu Guodong, and others were so shocked they dared not speak.

Cao Bin’s face was filled with despair, “Half of the assets are his…

No wonder he is so confident.

I must have been out of my mind to mess with him!”

Wu Wei said, “Cao Bin, you go pack up today and get out of my Wu family’s company.”

He turned to Mu Xing, patted him on the shoulder, and with a smile said, “With Brother Lu Chuan’s recommendation, I believe you’re up to the job.

Start the onboarding process today.”

Mu Xing, still in a daze, nearly cried out in excitement upon hearing Wu Wei’s words, “Thank you, Wu Family Patriarch, thank you, Wu Family Patriarch!”

He then looked at Lu Chuan with gratitude, “Thank you, brother-in-law!

Brother-in-law, from now on, you’re my idol!”

Lu Chuan just smiled and then turned to Mu Xiaoqing and Cao Bin, “The two of you can leave now.”

Mu Xiaoqing, full of regret, pleaded, “Cousin, I know I was wrong.

Please talk to my brother-in-law and give Cao Bin another chance!”

“Uncle, Aunt, please speak up for me!”

Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to her.

In the end, the two of them could only leave in despair.

Lu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that the world had finally quieted down.

Since he was there, Wu Wei, abiding by the ‘since I’m here’ principle, offered to take the Mu Guodong family out for dinner.

Lu Chuan also didn’t refuse and went with his family and Wu Wei to the best restaurant in Pingyang County.

During the meal, Mu Guodong asked Lu Chuan how he ended up owning half of the Wu family’s properties.

Lu Chuan, with a smile, said it was through trading elixir pills.

Mu Guodong and the others didn’t believe him, but knowing it might involve secrets, they did not press further.

After learning about Lu Chuan’s formidable background, Zhang Yufeng found her daughter’s boyfriend more and more agreeable and even asked when the two planned to get married.

In their eyes, Lu Chuan was definitely a top-tier son-in-law.

Such a capable man was hard to keep, so the sooner they got married, the better.

Lu Chuan, with an embarrassed face, could only respond evasively.

Mu Nanqing, on the other hand, giggled away, seemingly enjoying watching Lu Chuan’s awkwardness.

After dinner, Lu Chuan told Wu Wei that he planned to visit the mine to see that miraculous stone the next day.

Wu Wei agreed and said he would send a car to pick him up in the morning.

At night, the family returned home happily.

Zhang Yufeng found a set of Mu Xing’s pajamas for Lu Chuan and said, “You can wear Xiao Xing’s pajamas for now.

They’ve been washed, so don’t be picky.”

Lu Chuan accepted them with a smile, “No problem.

Auntie, where should I sleep tonight?”

Zhang Yufeng said, “You’ll share a room with Nanqing.”

Lu Chuan hesitated, “Isn’t that inappropriate?”

Zhang Yufeng said, “What’s inappropriate about that?

Aren’t you two boyfriend and girlfriend?”

Lu Chuan said, “But…”

Zhang Yufeng replied, “It’s fine.

Your generation is more open-minded, we’ve accepted it.

We know that it’s nothing for couples to sleep together without being married.”

Lu Chuan coughed slightly, thinking to himself that the key issue was that he and his ‘sister-in-law’ were only pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend!

After some thought, he said, “I think I’ll sleep in the living room.”

Zhang Yufeng immediately glared, “No way.”

“Ah?

Why not?” Lu Chuan asked.

Zhang Yufeng looked away for a moment before saying, “Your uncle snores at night, making it impossible for anyone to sleep.

So I’ve always made him sleep in the living room.

Right, old man?”

Mu Guodong caught on and quickly nodded, “Right, right, I need to sleep in the living room at night.”

Lu Chuan asked again, “Is there another spare room in the house?”

Zhang Yufeng replied, “Nope, there are only three rooms.

Xiao Xing and I will take two, and Nanqing has one.

The living room is also taken, so there’s no other place for you.”

After saying this, she pushed Lu Chuan towards Mu Nanqing’s room, “Oh, don’t be so modest, just go in and sleep.”

Lu Chuan was directly pushed into Mu Nanqing’s room.

By this time, Mu Nanqing had already changed into her pajamas, with her hair loose around her, lazily alluring.

Lu Chuan scratched his head awkwardly and said, “There’s nowhere else to sleep in the house, they insisted I share a room with you.”

Mu Nanqing’s face turned a bit rosy as she said, “Then let’s just share the room.”

Lu Chuan said, “But we two…”

Mu Nanqing simply lay down on the bed and said, “Anyway, I’m going to sleep.

It’s up to you whether you sleep or not.”

Lu Chuan thought for a moment and said, “Then I’ll sleep on the floor.”

Mu Nanqing’s eyes twirled as she sat up again, “I suddenly feel like drinking some water.”

She picked up the water cup from the bedside table, glanced at Lu Chuan, and suddenly her hand shook, spilling the water all over the floor.

“Oh no, I didn’t hold it steady.

This is bad, the floor won’t dry until tomorrow.”

After saying that, she quickly lay back down, a sly glint in her eyes.

Lu Chuan looked at the water-soaked floor and fell into contemplation.
