Chapter 2300: Chapter 2300: Just for Show

"This matter is settled, you just rest well in your manor and take care of your health. Leave the rest to Nian to handle."

Lu Tianfeng: "!"

What do you mean it’s settled? The Hai Kuo Forest—it was supposed to be his mission. Why does Lin Baizhong get to replace him the moment he shows up?

"Brother, I think I should still..."

"As for An Shen and An Meng’s situation, Tianfeng, I really have no other choice." Lu Tianlan cut him off again.

"Ever since your sister-in-law found out she was pregnant, she’s been unbelievably anxious, constantly afraid that someone might harm the child in her womb like what happened years ago. She simply cannot endure that kind of pain again.

Rest assured, An Shen and An Meng are merely there for appearances, just to stay by your side. Whatever you wish to do, they will not interfere.

Just let them follow you around; it’ll give your sister-in-law some peace of mind."

Lu Tianfeng: "!!"

Why does it feel like his life has been an utter mess ever since Lin Baizhong came back?

Could it be that all of this is Lin Baizhong pulling strings behind the scenes?

But then again, he doubts that’s likely. After all, no one knows who Lin Baizhong truly is, and Lin Wanlilu even less so.

No, this mess clearly stems from Lu Tianlan and his wife not trusting him. This mistrust is what created the situation where he can’t accomplish anything at home.

"Brother, with An Shen and An Meng here, I can’t even use the bathroom without..."

He opened his mouth, helplessly speaking to Lu Tianlan.

Yes, he couldn’t even go to the toilet without people monitoring him. What else could he possibly do?

An Shen and An Meng are hardly just "for appearances." They’re serious, treating him like a criminal under close surveillance.

Yet, he couldn’t openly say these words to his elder brother’s face.

If he did, and Lu Tianlan started suspecting him of ulterior motives, secretly engaging in shady activities, then what would he do?

"There’s really such a thing?"

Lu Tianlan feigned an incredulous expression and looked at him.

"Yes."

Lu Tianfeng nodded with resignation.

"They’re even using the Soul Summoning Bead. They won’t even spare me during bathroom breaks, Brother."

"There’s really such a thing?" Lu Tianlan sighed lightly.

"Tianfeng, how about we leave it at that for now? Just endure it for a few months. Once your sister-in-law safely delivers the baby, she won’t be so suspicious anymore."

"Brother, can’t you talk her out of it?" Lu Tianfeng’s mouth tasted bitter as he asked.

Does it really have to be these two following him everywhere? He’s so worried he might blurt out something incriminating in his sleep that he doesn’t even dare to sleep properly at night.

"Of course I tried to talk to her."

Lu Tianlan immediately declared his stance.

"I told your sister-in-law, you’re not an outsider. How can family members go on suspecting each other like this? But she wouldn’t listen to me, and I truly have no way around it."

Lu Tianfeng: "..."

How could it be that Lu Tianlan really has no means of resolving this? If he genuinely didn’t want this and trusted him, how could he possibly have sent those two people to keep watch over him?

"Brother..."

"Tianfeng, I initially didn’t want to send people from my own side, but I was afraid that if your sister-in-law’s people took her orders, they might do even more excessive things. That’s the only reason I sent An Shen and An Meng to keep an eye on you."
