Seeing the old man speak, Qingli hurriedly walked out of the kitchen and took off her apron, saying, "Dad, Mu Yao's recent cases have been quite troublesome, that's why he …"

"What troubles? Tell him to come find me, and I'll settle it for him. But it must appear today! "

After Lu Jinghao finished, without waiting for Qingli's response, he shouted to Qingge, "Go and give Mu Yao a call!"

Qingli stood at the side and looked at Qingge with a troubled expression.

But Qingge did not seem to see her pleading eyes, she immediately responded and called her.

The call quickly connected. Qingli looked at Qingge, her hands completely covered in sweat.

After a long while, Qingge hung up and said, "Dad, Mu Yao said he was in a meeting and couldn't come …"

"What?" Lu Jinghao placed the teacup on the table in front of him with a "bang". The teacup had turned around a few times, but in the end, it still stopped and did not break.

The entire living room was silent.

In the end, Lu Jinghao's gaze landed on Qingli's face. "Tell me, what exactly is he busy with? You don't even care about my words! "

No one had ever dared to challenge Lu Jinghao's prestige in his family. Except Lu Qinghuan.

Qingli bit her lips, not knowing how to explain. She knew that Xi Muyao did this because he wanted her to lower her head to him. She knew that as long as she made a call and said Mu Yao would come over, he would definitely come.

He wanted her to know that she still needed him.

But she couldn't.

"Qingli, why aren't you saying anything?" Lu Jinghao looked at her with a calm expression, but surprisingly, he was calm. Usually at this moment, it was the sign that he was going to show off his might.

The whole family did not dare to breathe loudly.

In the end, Qinghuan still came over and hurriedly hugged Lu Jinghao's neck as they spoke coquettishly: "Aiya, Dad, Brother-in-law is busy just like that. He didn't do it on purpose.

Qingli hurriedly nodded.

"He already treated me to a big meal yesterday. He said that there's a very important meeting today and if you miss him, you can see him anytime, right?"

Lu Jinghao coughed a little. Being stabbed in the heart by Qinghuan made him lose a lot of face.

Only now did Qingli's heart drop.

After dinner, the driver brought Qingli and her wife to the airport. Before leaving, the old man gave them a few words of advice, then stood in front of the French window and looked outside.

The evening mist gradually became thinner, and watched as the driver drove the car out of his sight. Lu Jinghao picked up a cigarette, lit it, and after a long time, called Qingge over and gave him an injection, then lay down.

He had diabetes, and the doctor had said years ago that he would not live more than five years, but it was a miracle that the sixth year had begun.

He felt that the heavens were fair. Having given him a lifetime's worth of glory, at his age, he naturally had to bear the worry of being able to leave this world at any time.

At the same time, he had let down that woman for the rest of his life. In the end, the only thing he could give her was to double the value of his two daughters.

Qingli never thought that she would see him again at the airport. The man she had thought she would never see again in her life.

Just as she was about to send off Qinghuan and Jian Yang, Qingli turned around and prepared to leave the airport hall.

The phone in his bag rang, and the caller was Yun Hu. She smiled and picked up the phone, "What, are you playing well in Maldives?"

"Of course. Let me tell you, if you have the chance, you must go with your Mr. Xi. I will be flying tomorrow night. Prepare to pick you up!"

Qingli's heart ached. She didn't tell Yun Hu about her divorce.

Since she had to hide it from him, even Yun Hu couldn't tell him. Otherwise, if something happened and the old man found out, she wouldn't worry about anything else. The old man's body was what she was most afraid of.

After some thought, he forced out a smile and asked, "What time is the flight time? Should I pick you up?"

"Haha, there's no need. I'm just lying. I'm already in Beijing. See you tonight at 9 o'clock at GAGO."
