Chapter 491: Chapter 489: What are You Looking For_1

She had thought it would be Grandpa or her parents who would come, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be Xia Ningxing.

"Sister-in-law!" Seeing her, Lu Fan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then continued searching around the room.

"What are you looking for?" Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but ask upon seeing this.

While searching, Lu Fan answered, "A tunnel."

"I accidentally came across Great-grandfather’s diary, and it recorded that there was a tunnel in this basement, so I wanted to search for it to see if it really exists," he explained further.

The old man was too ruthless; pleading was completely useless, so he could only rely on himself to get out of here now!

"A tunnel?" Hearing this, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but feel utterly exasperated.

Looking at him, she guessed he must have been searching for quite a long time already.

But the room was just so tiny, she now had every reason to suspect this was just some nonsense the old man had written.

Yet Lu Fan didn’t give up and continued searching, then asked anxiously, "Sister-in-law, how is Taozi doing now?"

"Not very well." Xia Ningxing had come to tell him about what she had just seen, so she didn’t plan on hiding it from him.

"What do you mean?" As soon as he heard this, Lu Fan’s brow furrowed instantly, and he rushed over to her, no longer caring about searching for any tunnel.

Xia Ningxing lifted her gaze and sighed, "Aunt Lu went to find Tao Tao."

"Why would my mom go to find Taozi?" Lu Fan’s frown deepened, first puzzled, but very quickly, he realized, "Is it because my mom is pressuring Tao Tao to leave me?"

He couldn’t help but grind his teeth.

His mom and Taozi hardly had any contact; her sudden visit could only mean it was about this matter.

"You guessed it right," Xia Ningxing nodded.

"That’s too much!" As the saying goes, a new wife is worth a mother’s throne, and Lu Fan was furious at this moment, feeling some resentment towards Aunt Lu.

How could a mother be so destructive to her son’s love life!

Lu Fan clenched his fists tightly, feeling a surge of anger, and then asked, "What does Tao Tao say?"

Xia Ningxing lowered her eyes, "She agreed."

"How could she agree!" Lu Fan’s anger surged once again, wishing he could immediately drag her back and punish her severely.

Was their love so fragile?

Must they choose to let go when faced with difficulties?

"Of course, it’s because she loves you," Xia Ningxing couldn’t stand him misunderstanding Tao Tao and immediately defended Tao Tao.

"You don’t know how miserably she cried when she said she wanted to break up with you!"

"If not for love, who would willingly give up the golden nest of the Lu Family!"

Xia Ningxing questioned him over and over again.

Lu Fan’s anger deflated like a leaky balloon, visibly dissipating.

Yes indeed, if it weren’t for love, which fool would willingly let go?

He slumped onto the bed, hugging his head in frustration.

But what’s the use of frustration!

He needed to stay calm!

Calmly think of a strategy!

Before long, like settling on a decision, Lu Fan suddenly said to Xia Ningxing, "Sister-in-law, you have to help me, you must help me."

"Isn’t that what I’m doing right now!" Xia Ningxing swatted away his hand, giving him an annoyed glare.

"Not that," Lu Fan shook his head: "I’ve already thought of a plan, you just need to help me carry it out."

"What plan?" Xia Ningxing looked at him hesitantly.

Lu Fan replied, "You need to make me a prescription that will make someone infertile."

Isn’t it because Grandpa and his parents despise Tao Tao for being unable to bear children that they refuse to accept her?

Then, if he also can’t have children, let’s see if they dare to despise Taozi anymore!

"..." Xia Ningxing was fully aware of what he intended to do.

"Are you insane!" she couldn’t help but scream at him, "I’m telling you, I won’t help you!"

That was simply abetting tyranny!

With a sorrowful face, Lu Fan pleaded, "Sister-in-law, I’m begging you, please help me. Look at how diligently I’ve helped you manage JuXing all these years. If not for merit, then for hard work, please help me out."

"Professional is professional, personal is personal. Don’t confuse the two."

Turning her back, Xia Ningxing appeared troubled, "If Grandpa and the others find out that I’m helping you deceive them, I’m afraid I’ll be despised too."

"Forget it." Seeing that she was unwilling to help, Lu Fan didn’t insist futher, "I don’t need your help anymore. I’ll figure out a way to solve it myself."

Xia Ningxing frowned, "What can you possibly come up with on your own?"

"A violent method!" Lu Fan was going all out.

Xia Ningxing: "..."

She suddenly understood what he meant.

"Don’t do anything stupid!" Her lips twitched violently, as she hurried to make him discard such a terrible idea.

"It doesn’t matter anymore." Lu Fan lay on the bed utterly despondent.

Seeing him like this, and thinking about all the years he had loyally helped her manage the company, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but soften, "Alright, alright, will it make you happy if I help you?"

She couldn’t help but sigh.

"Really?" At her words, Lu Fan immediately sat up excitedly like a carp leaping out of water, looking at her expectantly.

Xia Ningxing sighed, "Truer than pearls."

"Here." Saying so, she took out a small bottle from her pocket, "This medicine will temporarily disable that function, and medical equipment won’t be able to detect it either. If your underhanded tactic works, I’ll give you the antidote after you marry Tao Tao, so you can be a man again!"

Lu Fan should have been grateful, but as he listened, he couldn’t shake the feeling that her voice had a mocking tone, making him want to punch someone.

But, punching someone was out of the question now.

Putting on a brown-nosed face, Lu Fan accepted the medicine while thanking her, "Thank you, sister-in-law, you’re truly beautiful inside and out. No woman in the entire universe can compare to you!"

Xia Ningxing: "..."

What a bootlicker!

After receiving the medicine, he couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity, "Why are you even carrying this with you?"

Just look at this, can you believe what people are capable of!

Xia Ningxing raised an eyebrow, "I do what I like, is it any of your business?"

Lu Fan’s lips twitched slightly, "..." That’s personality!

He admired it!

The next day, Lu Fan suddenly started yelling in the basement.

"Is anyone there? Is anyone there?"

His face filled with terror, he banged on the door, his eyes red-rimmed as if something desperate had happened.

If Xia Ningxing were here, she would not have been able to resist thinking that here was an Oscar-winning actor waylaid by his management career.

His acting was almost on par with hers!

"What’s wrong?" There was someone guarding outside, so upon hearing the noise, they immediately asked with a frown.

"I, I think I’m sick!" Lu Fan’s face was both black and red, and he barely managed to force a few words through clenched teeth.

Hearing this, the other person quickly inquired, "Young Master, what illness have you contracted?"

"Being sick means being sick, what’s with all your questions!" Lu Fan snapped back in embarrassed anger.

How could he possibly say what was wrong with him!

The other person: "... Young Master, are you feigning illness?"
