However, her momentary reverie was interrupted by an urgent WeChat voice call.
Lu Haiqiao snapped back to reality and realized that the incoming voice call was from Lu Yunge's phone.
As the screen displayed 'Second Brother', Lu Yunge couldn't resist giving her a thumbs-up.
A single WeChat voice message not only made Grandpa break his long-standing rules but also managed to placate him and secure the early release of the Second Brother.
All of this happened in less than two minutes.
Incredible!
Truly incredible!
"Hey, Second Brother," Lu Yunge answered the call.
Meanwhile, Lu Haiqiao shifted her posture on the sofa.
The sofa was a bit high, so she intentionally reclined lazily, with her legs hanging over the edge and swaying gently.
Coincidentally, Lu Wanxin messaged her, asking where she was. Lu Haiqiao quickly replied with a message, "Out on a news assignment, don't worry."
Her job often required her to travel extensively and keep unconventional hours, and over time, Lu Wanxin had become accustomed to it.
"Brother, brother…"
"Yes, did Haiqiao… Baby Haiqiao put in good words for me, didn't she?"
Never in his wildest dreams did Lu Xuege imagine that he would be 'resurrected' so quickly. Stunned and flustered, he stumbled over his words.
Lu Yunge responded with a simple "Hmm," and added, "Who else could it be?"
"F*ck!" Lu Xuege exclaimed with excitement his voice broke. "I knew Baby Haiqiao would not just stand by and watch me suffer…"
"Oh, f*ck! F*ck, who… Grand… Grandpa…"
"Ah, it hurts. Grandpa, Grandpa, don't hit me, don't hit me…"
Following the sudden screams, there was the stern voice of the Old Master, "Suffer? Second Brother, do you think I sent you to the Buddha Hall for self-reflection to suffer, huh?"
Lu Yunge: "…"
This Second Brother not only has an unlucky butt, but also a smart mouth!
"Hey, Second Brother, I'm telling you to behave. Don't provoke…"
Before he could finish his sentence, the phone he had in his palm was suddenly snatched away.
He didn't know when Lu Haiqiao had come to his side, and she straightforwardly said, "Lu Xuege, give the phone to Grandpa."
Presumably, it was Old Master who answered the call, as her voice tone became slightly gentler.
She spoke as if coaxing a child, "Yes, yes, I'll go to sleep right away, and you remember to sleep early too, okay?"
"Alright, don't be angry. Please spare Second Cousin for my sake."
"As for the reading glasses, we can go buy them when I come back."
"Yes, okay, I promise. I'm not lying, whoever lies is a little puppy."
"Alright, that's it then. Goodbye, Grandpa."
After ending the call, Lu Haiqiao gently tossed the phone, creating a half-arc in the air, before it landed in Lu Yunge's lap.
"Done," she said.
Seeing her heading towards the entrance of the villa, Lu Yunge asked, "Where are you going?"
Lu Haiqiao yawned. "It's late. Going home to sleep."
Lu Yunge got up. "Wait."
Lu Haiqiao, who had reached the door, suddenly stopped.
"I brought your good friend back with me."
As soon as he said this, Lu Haiqiao felt something flying in her direction.
She raised her hand and effortlessly caught it.
At first glance, it appeared to be a high-quality aluminum alloy car model, but it was a car key.
Lu Haiqiao's eyes sparkled, and her lips curved slightly.
It was a Pagani Huayra, the God of Wind.
Indeed her 'good friend'.
"How about going for a few laps tomorrow afternoon?" Lu Yunge extended a warm invitation.
