As soon as these words were uttered, Lu Xiao's mother clutched her chest with a face full of relief. She turned to her husband and exclaimed, "Old Lu, did you hear that? Our son says he really has a girlfriend now, and she's currently in Shanghai."
But Lu Xiao's father furrowed his brows, "I don't believe it; he's almost thirty and I've never seen him bring any girlfriend home. How can he just have one now?"
Could it really be out of knowledge about his own nearing demise that he has come up with a kind lie?
Thinking this, he coughed emphatically before adding in a deep voice, "Although my health is in bad shape right now, I can at least hold on for a few more years. You better weigh your words and don't think about deceiving me with lies!"
Lu Xiao: "..."
Why wouldn't they believe him?
