Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit
Chapter 533: Is it Such a Fuss?
CHAPTER 533: CHAPTER 533: IS IT SUCH A FUSS?
A group of people entered the grand hall of the old house, and had just sat down when the sound of a car braking was heard outside.
Little Yizhou rolled out to the doorway:
"It’s Aunt!"
Coincidentally, Lu Li had also returned.
Bai Luo stood up to greet them again, while Lu Li had already bustled in:
"Sister-in-law!"
"Arrived? Come in, Jingjing and the others are here too."
Huh?
Lu Li was surprised, especially when she actually saw Lu Jing, how excited she became:
"Jingjing, when did you come back?"
Lu Jing got up from the sofa, and before she could steady herself, she was embraced tightly by her cousin.
Cough cough cough.
That strength...
Was she trying to murder her own sister?
"Sis, loosen up, I can’t breathe."
Only then did Lu Li let go, and naturally, her gaze also turned to the man sitting next to her:
"Yo, isn’t that Jiang Lao Si?"
Jiang Lao Si?
Upon this address, everyone in the room was stunned.
However, Jiang Ye himself, from the beginning to the end, kept his composure:
"What can I do for you, Miss Lu Li?"
Lu Li was Lu Jing’s cousin, but actually a bit younger than Jiang Ye, making it a bit awkward for her to call out "Sis."
Anyway, no one really cared about such formalities.
Lu Li hummed twice:
"No big deal!"
The implication: She had done it on purpose!
After that, Lu Li plopped down next to Lu Jing, even purposely sitting in the middle to separate her cousin from a certain someone.
"Jingjing, how long are you staying this time?"
"Not for long, I didn’t even ask for a leave, just skipped work and came back."
It was mainly because things happened so suddenly.
Of course, Jiang Ye must have had someone deal with it afterward, so there wasn’t too much to worry about.
Lu Li pursed her lips:
"I thought you could stay and play a bit longer before going back."
Lu Jing smiled and took Lu Li’s hand:
"Is something the matter?" she asked.
Lu Li shook her head:
"It’s nothing, forget it."
That tone, it didn’t sound like it was nothing.
But since Lu Li didn’t spell it out, there was no use guessing.
Jiang Ye had been listening to the two sisters’ conversation, when suddenly, Lu Yan spoke up:
"Lao Si, come with me to the study."
Women chatting wasn’t something the men could chime in on; they might as well do their own thing.
"Sure!"
Jiang Ye stood and followed Lu Yan to the study.
With the two men gone, Lu Li moved closer to her cousin:
"Jingjing, I have something to show you."
???
"What is it?"
"You’ll know when you see it."
As Lu Li spoke, she began rummaging through the bag she was carrying.
This...
Lu Jing frowned, casting an inquiring glance at Bai Luo.
Bai Luo shrugged her shoulders, indicating that she was also in the dark.
Lu Li was no child; she was married, after all.
How could a sister-in-law meddle so much?
Moreover, Lu Li had her own parents to look after her.
"Here, this is it. Take a look."
Lu Jing took the document from Lu Li’s hands, skeptical but started flipping through it.
However, the more she read, the less composed she became.
Looking up:
"This..."
Lu Li also let out a long breath before she said:
"I thought I was seeing things, I didn’t even dare sign my name!"
Even Bai Luo became curious now, handed her son over to the nanny, and moved closer:
"What exactly is it?" she asked.
Lu Jing passed the document to Bai Luo:
"A contract."
A contract?
Bai Luo raised an eyebrow:
"What about the contract?"
Was it something to make such a fuss about?
Speaking of Bai Luo, the top director in the entertainment industry had handled numerous contracts, big and small.
On a regular basis, she had often seen Lu Yan sign contracts.
Those contracts, often they were worth hundreds of millions, even tens of billions...
