The assistant didn't follow Lu Jinnian into the house, but grabbed the car keys, opened the car door, and sat down in the driver seat.
Having just seen Qiao Anhao to the door, Madam Chen was about to sit down to eat. Then she heard the door open and assumed that Qiao Anhao was back for something she had forgotten to bring, so she hurriedly put her chopsticks down and walked out. "Miss..."
Just as Madam Chen called out that one word, she saw Lu Jinnian changing his shoes at the entrance. She quickly changed her tone of voice to be far less casual. "Mr. Lu, you're back."
Lu Jinnian didn't go to see Madam Chen, nor did he say anything. He couldn't be bothered to.
Madam Chen was well used to Lu Jinnian's cold attitude, and continued to ask with a smile, "Have you eaten lunch yet, Mr. Lu? Do you want to eat something?"
Seeing as Lu Jinnian didn't respond, the expression on her face became awkward. In the end, she said, "The missus just left."
