Chapter 1470 - 65: A Visit at the Door
Lu Hong had heard about Ziyuan District’s reputation; it was the most upscale neighborhood in X City, bar none. It seemed like that Young Master Luo was really willing to spend money to chase after his sister.
Suddenly, Lu Hong seemed to realize something, and his face turned dark and terrifying. He asked Lu Lingyue, "Ling Yue, wasn’t it just you living at home before?"
As Lu Hong spoke, he was screaming internally, if that damned Young Master Luo dared to live with his sister, he would make sure they both died today, even if it meant taking that scoundrel down with him!
Upon hearing Lu Hong’s question, Lu Lingyue was momentarily stunned, but quickly blushed. She glared at Lu Hong with a reproachful look and said coquettishly, "Brother, what nonsense are you talking about! Of course, I’m living alone. But now that you’re back, hehe, I don’t have to be afraid of thunderstorms anymore."
Hearing Lu Lingyue’s response, Lu Hong immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
In no time, the hoverboard beneath the three arrived at the entrance of Building Ten. It was a low-rise mansion built in a townhouse style with three levels corresponding to three families.
Lu Lingyue stepped forward to unlock the ground floor luxury residence’s door.
The security guard smartly moved the luggage into the house, then respectfully left.
Lu Hong entered the mansion; the living room was incredibly spacious, just the living room alone easily exceeded 100 square meters, comparable to the total area of an average person’s home.
The interior decor was quite minimalist, though simplistic, it exuded an air of sophistication; the minimalist impression was clearly a result of careful design.
Lu Hong briefly glanced at the living room before his eyes landed on the sofa. He plopped down, finding it ultra-soft and comfortable, wondering just how much such a purchase would cost.
"Bro!" Lu Lingyue retrieved her luggage and called to Lu Hong from inside the room, "You’ll stay in this room from now on, right across from mine."
Upon hearing this, Lu Hong got up and went to the doorway.
He looked around, and this bedroom was definitely over sixty or seventy square meters and equipped with a private bathroom.
After arranging Lu Hong’s luggage and setting the bed, Lu Lingyue checked the time on her phone and then told Lu Hong, "Brother, you can rest at home first. I have a class to teach shortly. Once I’m done, I’ll come back and cook a few dishes as a celebration for your return. I’ve recently learned some new signature recipes."
"Alright, no problem. Go on and get busy; I’ll just rest a bit."
"I’m heading out then!" Lu Lingyue quickly gathered her necessary textbooks and materials in her study and dashed out of the house.
Watching Lu Lingyue leave, Lu Hong lay atop the incredibly comfortable bed, his mind overflowing with thoughts.
In the recent months of recuperation, Lu Hong had not stopped reconsidering the dream realm he entered after falling into a coma. Was it merely a figment of his imagination?
Had he truly traveled to another world? Lu Hong’s mind was still a jumbled mess.
However, it was likely just a fantasy during his two-year coma, and now that he’s awakened, he’s returned to his real world.
Whether or not he truly journeyed to that mysterious world and experienced those epic battles, he’s returned to his homeland, which marks a peaceful life.
Lu Hong accepted that whether he experienced it or not is unimportant, as he’s back now.
His next immediate task is ensuring a better life for himself and his sister, keeping them far from that scoundrel Young Master Luo.
Just as Lu Hong lay on the bed, lost in thought, the doorbell rang unexpectedly.
Lu Hong froze; who would visit at this time?
Getting up, he walked to the doorway and looked through the high-definition electronic camera beside the door, seeing a clean-cut youth patiently waiting for the homeowner to open the door.
Lu Hong activated the camera’s speaking function and asked the young man outside, "Who are you?"
Upon hearing a male voice, the youth outside expressed no surprise and respectfully replied, "Are you Lu Lingyue’s brother? I’m Lu Lingyue’s classmate, Luo Yanxue."
Upon hearing this name, Lu Hong’s brows immediately furrowed; damn, that’s definitely Young Master Luo.
Lu Hong pondered for a moment, his gaze fixed on Luo Yanxue on the high-definition screen.
Despite Lu Hong’s delay in opening the door, Luo Yanxue showed no sign of complaint, simply waiting quietly with no trace of displeasure.
After careful consideration, Lu Hong finally unlocked the door, greeting Luo Yanxue with a smile, "So, you’re Ling Yue’s classmate, Mr. Luo? Ling Yue often mentions your name to me."
Upon hearing Lu Hong’s words, Luo Yanxue’s expression didn’t change, he smiled and said, "Hello, Brother Lu. I’m here to see Lu Lingyue; could you please ask her to come out?"
Luo Yanxue’s visit today, nine times out of ten, is to proactively engage with his future brother-in-law.
This guy is really cunning!
Lu Hong sneered internally.
He warmly invited Luo Yanxue inside, already planning how to converse with him.
Though this guy has ulterior motives toward his sister, he has indeed provided substantial help to them.
Without Luo Yanxue’s active assistance, his sister wouldn’t have received that three million-dollar stipend, nor lived in such a nice house. With her only being a high school freshman, how could she possibly support the two of them?
Regardless of whether the intentions toward his sister are ill-intended, Lu Hong owed Young Master Luo a favor.
Leading Luo Yanxue to the living room, Lu Hong proactively made a cup of tea and placed it beside him, "Don’t mind the clutter, I just returned today so I’m not familiar with the house yet, can’t host you well."
Upon hearing this, Luo Yanxue smiled and said, "You’re too polite, Brother Lu. Lu Lingyue and I have been classmates from middle to high school, and we’re quite familiar; no need for formalities."
"I’m sure my little Ling Yue is quite well taken care of at school, right? As her big brother, I really need to thank you sincerely. I’ve heard from Ling Yue, without your help, these two years I was bedridden, she wouldn’t have managed to get by."
Listening to Lu Hong’s grateful words, Luo Yanxue had a flattered look, waving his hand hurriedly, "Brother Lu, you’re exaggerating. I only offered a bit of help; Lu Lingyue and I have been classmates for years. Upon hearing about her family tragedy, I could only do so much. Lu Lingyue is an excellent student, always topping the class, destined for a bright future; she shouldn’t be ruined by minor life hurdles, so I helped a little, it’s no burden to me. Honestly, even though I study here in the small town of X City, I’m the legitimate eldest son of the Luo Family in Yanjing, set to inherit the entire family business in the future. The Luo Family in Yanjing is virtually unknown in Hua Country, you might not fully understand, and I can’t divulge much, but I can confidently assure you, my family’s wealth alone is sufficient to buy all of X City. Helping Lu Lingyue is just a minor gesture for me, no need to dwell on it; we’re merely friends."
Lu Hong was secretly shocked after hearing Luo Yanxue’s answer, possessing enough wealth to buy all of X City, how rich is that? Lu Hong couldn’t fathom.
Yet, he could tell from the youth’s calm words, this was neither a joke nor boast, but a genuine capability.
Such unimaginable wealth surely comes with immense power; Lu Hong’s hostility toward Luo Yanxue almost entirely dissipated.
He knew his sister was pretty, attractive, but not to the extent of being a school beauty; Young Master Luo, with his affluent background, would have numerous beauties eager to draw near, there’s no need to specifically target his sister, unless he was mentally unwell, or it was truly love.
