"What happened?"
Although asking felt like prying into Lu Yunque’s private affairs, Yun Zijin decided she should ask anyway.
"It’s nothing, but I have something urgent to handle. I promise I’ll be back to take you home tonight, alright?"
Even when faced with a matter of extreme urgency, Lu Yunque’s first thought was still for Yun Zijin’s feelings.
"If you have something to do, just go. I can get home by myself."
With Zero One and the others around, Yun Zijin was never without a driver.
"I’ll be back to pick you up."
With that, Lu Yunque turned and ran toward the entrance of the old mansion, making a call as he went.
Yun Zijin guessed he was probably calling Mo Bin. The only thing was, she had let Assistant Mo go home to rest today. He was probably sleeping right now. ’Isn’t it a bit much for Lu Yunque to just haul him back to work like this?’
But this was how Lu Yunque and Mo Bin operated, after all. Even if Yun Zijin felt it was inappropriate, it wasn’t her place to say anything.
Mo Bin’s job required him to be on call 24/7; otherwise, he wouldn’t be paid so well.
With Lu Yunque gone, Yun Zijin lost her enthusiasm for the tour. She followed the path back to the main courtyard from memory.
As she entered the main hall, she saw Xu Su Hua and Lu Zhengguo sitting on lounge chairs out on the veranda, looking utterly relaxed.
"Zijin is back. Where’s our Little sparrow?"
Seeing Yun Zijin by herself, Xu Su Hua quickly asked. ’That rotten kid didn’t just ditch Zijin and run off to work again, did he?’
"He just got a call from Uncle Lu. It seemed to be something urgent, so he left in a hurry without getting a chance to tell you."
Hearing that Lu Yunque had left after taking a call from Lu Xianzhang, Xu Su Hua frowned slightly.
She knew her own son; he wouldn’t call Lu Yunque unless it was something truly important.
Lu Zhengguo sat up straighter, thinking the same thing as Xu Su Hua.
"Did he mention what he was going to handle?"
The old couple suddenly felt a wave of unease. ’Surely nothing has actually happened, right?’
"No, but he said he would come pick me up tonight. We can ask him when he gets back."
’If Lu Yunque didn’t say anything, he must have his reasons.’
"Alright, I’ll ask him when he gets back tonight."
Since they didn’t know anything about the situation, they wouldn’t even know what to ask. All they could do was wait for Lu Yunque to come back.
"Don’t overthink it. If something really happened, they couldn’t hide it from us in the end."
Even though Lu Zhengguo was retired, the network he had built over the years was still intact.
If something really happened, no one could hide it from him.
Xu Su Hua did her best not to dwell on it, and the best way to do that was to keep busy.
"Oh, right. I just called the family tailor. He’ll be over in a bit to take your measurements. I’m having a few outfits made for you."
Once her mind was at ease, Xu Su Hua recalled that she had called the family tailor as soon as she’d learned Yun Zijin and Lu Yunque would be visiting the old mansion today.
Yun Zijin was completely baffled. She understood all the words individually, but she couldn’t quite grasp what they meant when put together.
"This tailor comes from a family trained by the Lu ancestors. They used to serve only our family.
But times have changed. Now, in addition to making clothes for our family, they also take on other clients.
