That was what he was thinking.
Naturally, Lin Yu couldn’t say any of that out loud.
“I understand. Aunt Ruxue really has thought this through.”
“Don’t worry. If Weiwei still hasn’t come back tomorrow, I’ll have a talk with Maomao in the evening.”
“I’ll try to comfort her and keep her from feeling so upset.”
“Girls all have to grow up eventually.”
Hearing that, Du Ruxue waved her hand.
“Then I’ll leave her in your care.”
“Don’t just say tomorrow. Weiwei may not even be back in the next couple of days.”
“From the way her father spoke to me on the phone…”
“It sounds like Weiwei did something incredibly infuriating.”
“By any chance…”
“Did you have anything to do with it?”
Du Ruxue’s eyes were as sharp as knives, making Lin Yu feel a chill run down his back.
How had this conversation somehow gotten him into trouble?
Nurse Sister…
Could Old Master Xia have found out about the trap he had set for Lei Siren?
Other than that, it was hard to imagine what else could have made him so furious.
Or perhaps it was what had happened at her house last time with Weiwei…
If it was that, then he was really screwed!
He could at least claim that setting up Lei Siren had been an attempt to help Weiwei get rid of that huge nuisance.
Wouldn’t a father understand something like that?
But doing that sort of thing in his own home…
Lin Yu: “!!!”
Damn it!
Why hadn’t he been able to control himself back then?
He knew he shouldn’t have let Nurse Sister tempt him.
If this really came to light, wouldn’t he be plagued by trouble for the rest of his life?
“Xue, stop making insinuations every time you talk to Little Yu.”
“What could Weiwei’s family matters possibly have to do with Little Yu?”
Before Lin Yu could answer, Chen Qimeng hurriedly spoke up for him.
Du Ruxue poked Chen Qimeng on the forehead.
“I was only joking. Look how anxious you got.”
Chen Qimeng avoided Du Ruxue’s gaze and didn’t dare continue defending Lin Yu.
“Exactly. Aunt Ruxue just likes to joke around.”
“I don’t know anything about Weiwei’s family. How could their affairs possibly have anything to do with me?”
Lin Yu laughed awkwardly, temporarily glossing over the matter.
…
After returning to the apartment, Lin Yu didn’t spend much more time with the two older women.
He turned around, went up to the third floor, and slipped into his room.
He had to quickly confirm the information he had just learned from Du Ruxue.
The Xia family’s affairs were completely different from the Shen family’s.
As for the former, Lin Yu wanted no part in them.
He would rather remain ignorant.
But as for the latter, he was already hopelessly entangled in it!
He had failed to withstand Xia Yiwei’s tricks and had walked straight into her trap.
At this hour, Weiwei definitely hadn’t gone to sleep yet.
Rather than sit around guessing what had happened, it would be better to ask her directly.
“Beep, beep, beep…”
“Beep, beep, beep…”
The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.
Just as Lin Yu was about to hang up and call again, Nurse Sister’s voice finally came from the other end.
“Hello… Little Master.”
“Hehe, it’s so late. You’re… you’re not asleep yet?”
“What made you suddenly think of calling me?”
Xia Yiwei’s guilty tone was impossible to conceal, even through the phone.
How could Lin Yu fail to guess why she was acting this way?
She had clearly already figured out why he was calling!
“Weiwei, where are you?”
Lin Yu’s tone was more or less the same as usual. He made no deliberate effort to sound stern.
He simply wanted to see whether Xia Yiwei would tell him the truth.
As it turned out…
Nurse Sister did not disappoint him!
“I’m at the hospital working, hehe…”
“Where else could I be?”
“What’s wrong? Do you miss me?”
Lin Yu: “…”
Unbelievable…
There wasn’t the slightest trace of a flaw!
Nurse Sister sounded completely normal.
She could lie without even blinking!
