Chapter 280: Like begets like
Cheng Yu wanted to give the duo privacy to talk so she excused herself and went to her room.
Soon after Cheng Yu left, Madam Jiang thought of something and looked worried. "Luna, isn’t it dangerous for you to be on your own? Xingyu told me that Li Xiyan escaped prison. She might seek you and cause trouble." Madam Jiang thought about Cheng Yu and was worried about her too. The last time, Li Xiyan had used her to force Luna into admitting guilt for a crime she had not committed. Since she was once again free, wouldn’t she seek revenge on Cheng Yu as well?
Since she was Luna’s friend, she was concerned about her safety as well, and was even considering having both of them move in with her.
Luna felt emotional that Madam Jiang was worried about her. "Aunty, don’t worry about me. I’m an expert at hiding. Previously, I was in hiding for more than a year and not even special level investigators could find me, let alone Li Xiyan. This time, if I decide to hide, she cannot find me either. Not to mention, our roles have been reversed this time and I’m the one looking for her."
Madam Jiang did not look reassured in the slightest bit. "What on earth is a hiding expert? Don’t be stubborn. How about you come and live with us? Xingren and I will take good care of you."
Luna coughed in a fit, chocking on her saliva. "Aunty, what are you saying?"
"Come and move in with us. There are no rules anyway, you can do what you want and treat the house as your own. I can guarantee that you will be comfortable."
Luna was glad for the offer but she could not agree to it. "Thanks for offering, but I’m afraid this is not appropriate."
After all, she and Jiang Xingyu were not even friends, let alone dating. How could she audaciously move into his parents’ house?
Madam Jiang knew what she was thinking about and clarified, "That punk of mine rarely comes to the old house to visit. You may not even cross paths for weeks. Anyway, you can just take it as living in a friend’s house if you don’t mind having a friend my age."
Luna was almost moved by the offer but she had to reject it politely. "Thank you but... I cannot leave Xiao Yu on her own. I’m afraid she may encounter some danger."
