Chapter 7

“Why? Can’t I come home?” Lu Huai narrowed his eyes and glanced at Pei Xin and her son in the corner. “What are you doing?”

His voice was clearly emotionless, but it carried an extremely strong sense of oppression.

Everyone in the capital knew that the Lu family was the ringleader of the four great families. The reason why the Lu family surpassed the other three families was all because of Lu Huai.

It was rumored in the circle that Lu Huai was outstanding, decisive, and ruthless in his actions. Moreover, he was a stone cold machine that had no feelings for anyone. Even his family was fearful of him, so no one dared to provoke him.

Pei Xin had naturally heard of this before. She took the chance to secretly look up when everyone was distracted. For some reason, it felt like she had heard of this voice before…

Others might fear Lu Huai because of his status or rumors, but Lu Li had experienced it himself firsthand. He feared Lu Huai from the bottom of his heart.

“You know how Ling Xue got into a car accident to save me? And that Pei Xin owes Ling Xue a life. Now that Ling Xue needs a kidney transplant, Pei Xin is going to repay her debts.”

As he spoke, he shifted his body, blocking Lu Huai’s line of sight from Pei Xin. He knew that Lu Huai was a germaphobe. Pei Xin and that child would be too dirty to even look at. If Lu Huai saw them, he would definitely be unhappy and inevitably scold his younger brother.

“To save who? Why don’t you use your kidney?” Lu Huaiyun was calm, as if the person in front of him was not his younger brother.

Lu Li couldn’t react in time and looked at Lu Huai in shock. However, the latter had already turned around and was walking towards the garage.

The bodyguards did not dare to speak loudly and whispered to Pei Xin, “If you don’t want to be beaten up, hurry up and leave.”

Perhaps it was because of Lu Huai’s shock, before the bodyguards could recover from their shock, Ling Lin had already run out. Pei Xin reached out to grab him, but because her weak body could not keep up, he managed to escape her arms.

“Daddy, daddy!” The little one shouted as he ran.

Lu Huai, who had already walked far away, stopped and turned around with a frown.

Then, a small figure quickly hugged his legs. “Daddy, they hit Mommy and me. They’re bad people. You need to chase them away.”

Ling Lin’s voice was soft, and as he spoke, tears rolled down his cheeks. It was mixed with snot, and all of them landed on Lu Huai’s pants.

The others looked at the scene in front of them in shock. Everyone knew that Lu Huai was a germaphobe. Now that this dirty b*stard had bumped into Lu Huai, Lu Huai would definitely be furious, and they would definitely be implicated.

Regarding Lu Huai, Pei Xin had heard about him but had never seen him. Even at her engagement party with Lu Li, Lu Huai wasn’t there. However, it didn’t stop her from knowing how terrifying Lu Huai was.

There were already countless people who wanted her dead. Adding Lu Huai would be the cherry on top.

Thus, she quickly went forward and persuaded Ling Lin softly, “Ling Lin, listen to me and let go of that man, alright? That man is not your father. I’ll bring you to him soon, okay? Let go of that man.”

The moment Pei Xin walked over, Lu Huai smelled a familiar scent. After Pei Xin spoke, he finally couldn’t help but look sideways. However, the person in front of him was emaciated and covered in mud. Lu Huai frowned and chased away the thoughts in his mind.

Sensing Lu Huai’s gaze, Pei Xin thought that Lu Huai was warning her, so she anxiously went to pry Ling Lin’s hand away. She could not help but emphasize, “Ling Lin, listen to your mother!”

However, the child knew very well that everyone was afraid of this person in front of him. He had to hug his thigh tightly, or else those people would still bully his mother.

He looked up at the man in his arms. His eyes were wet, like a pitiful puppy asking for help.

“How old are you?” When Lu Huai met those sparkling eyes, a soft spot in his heart was touched. He smiled and tried to make his voice sound gentle.

“Five years old!” Ling Lin’s childish voice was mixed with a nasal voice. D-daddy…”

“Listen to your mother.” Lu Huai rubbed the little one’s head and then said to Lu Li, “Since you’ve asked for help, you should maintain the attitude of asking for help. You bunch over there, the Lu Family didn’t teach you to act like this.”

After saying that, he held Ling Lin’s hand and placed it in Pei Xin’s hand.

“Got it.” Lu Li agreed. He was both scared and shocked. His brother, who had only smiled at him a few times since he was young, was smiling at a b*stard child. It was an out of the world experience.

Lu Huai didn’t like to meddle in other people’s business and he didn’t like to get involved in Lu Li’s affairs.

He had only offered to help because he had hit it off with the boy. However, it was not to the extent of asking the boy to interfere in this matter. After all, not only Lu Li but the Pei Family was involved.
