Chapter 1277: How Is This Excessive?

Bai Xiaonian put on her sun protective clothing and smiled. “Dad has always said that he has a caring daughter-in-law. He traveled back and forth to take care of me throughout my pregnancy when I felt unwell. Now, it’s time for this caring daughter-in-law to show her appreciation!”

Unable to argue with Bai Xiaonian, Lu Jinnan could only give her a doting smile.

After the two of them arrived at the Lu family’s house, Lu Jinnan carried bags of supplements in one hand and supported Bai Xiaonian with the other.

Having already seen Lu Jinnan’s car from the window, Lu Jinnan’s father headed downstairs with a wheelchair for Bai Xiaonian to sit in.

“Dad… I only have some minor wounds on my legs. I don’t have to sit in a wheelchair! That’s too excessive!” Bai Xiaonian couldn’t help but laugh.

“Quickly sit down! You’re a pregnant lady now. How is this excessive?”

“Just sit!” Lu Jinnan helped Bai Xiaonian to sit in the wheelchair.

Bai Xiaonian felt uneasy as Lu Jinnan’s father pushed her wheelchair. She constantly turned back to look at Lu Jinnan.

“Are Xiao Bei and the lady he brought home last night inside?” Lu Jinnan asked his father.

Lu Jinnan’s father sighed before replying, “They’re not at home. They just went out this morning. That Xiao Cai said that she doesn’t wear the same clothes over two days… so Xiao Bei followed that girl to buy new clothes.”

Lu Jinnan’s father didn’t spend a lot of time with Cai Jingyao the day before. However, from his many years of experience, he could tell that he and the young lady probably wouldn’t be able to get along.

Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan’s father could talk about anything. On the other hand, all this young lady thought about was which brands made nice bags, which brands made good skincare products, and which brands made clothes that would accentuate her figure. She kept talking to Lu Jinnan’s father about the kind of clothes that would suit him.

Would an old man be interested in talking about such things?

Not only that, but Lu Jinnan’s father was also more interested in when Lu Jinbei and this young lady started dating, what her family was like, and what she did for a living!

But Lu Jinnan’s father… had no knowledge about all this. All he knew was that Lu Jinbei and the young lady met each other when they were university students.

To Lu Jinnan’s father, it was still acceptable if she was his son’s university classmate.

After all… he didn’t wish to interfere with his children’s choices of the people they dated and married. Furthermore, Lu Jinbei wasn’t going to spend the rest of his life with him. He wouldn’t object so long as Lu Jinbei liked the person.

However, this Miss Cai always acted very strangely whenever she brought up Bai Xiaonian. She even said that she and Lin Nuan used to be very close friends. Lu Jinnan’s father was confused. He had never heard Lin Nuan talk about a friend with the surname “Cai”.

When Bai Xiaonian heard Lu Jinnan’s father say that Lu Jinbei brought home a young lady with the surname “Cai”… she was very sure that the young lady was Cai Jingyao!

Cai Jingyao was rather interesting. After she came back to China, she got back together with Lu Jinbei, who, for some reason, wanted to get married.

After they went upstairs, Lu Jinnan’s father asked Bai Xiaonian, “I heard Xiao Cai say that she used to know Lin Nuan. Her name’s Cai Jingyao… Do you know this person, Xiaonian?”

Lu Jinnan’s father knew that Lu Jinbei was dating Bai Xiaonian back then, but they eventually broke up as Lu Jinbei had an affair! However, he didn’t know that Cai Jingyao was the one who Lu Jinbei had an affair with…

Bai Xiaonian nodded. It was clear that she wasn’t planning to say much. She simply replied, “I know this person, but I don’t know her well.”

“Then, does Nuan Nuan know her well? Can I call her and ask her about this young lady’s character?” Lu Jinnan’s father asked Bai Xiaonian for her opinion as he was very concerned about his son, but he was also worried that he would disturb Lin Nuan by calling her. “Do you think it would be appropriate?”

“Nuan Nuan probably doesn’t know her well either! She probably only knows her as an acquaintance…” Bai Xiaonian then looked towards Lu Jinnan to ask him if she should tell him the truth. Seeing Lu Jinnan nod his head, she knew that she had said the right thing. She then continued, “Dad, when it comes to a person’s character, you shouldn’t just listen to rumors—you should judge that person for yourself too! See… the outside world spoke about Nuan Nuan in such a bad way back then, but you should know what she’s really like by now!”

Lu Jinnan’s father nodded. He thought Bai Xiaonian made sense.

The reason Bai Xiaonian didn’t tell the truth wasn’t that she still thought of Cai Jingyao as a friend, nor was it because she wanted to play it safe and stay out of the affairs of her ex—who was also her brother-in-law!

Bai Xiaonian simply didn’t wish to make any comments before knowing about the true nature of Cai Jingyao and Lu Jinbei’s relationship. If Lu Jinbei truly loved Cai Jingyao, wouldn’t she be stirring up trouble by bringing this up?

On the way to the house, Bai Xiaonian asked Lu Jinnan… about his father’s opinion of Lu Jinbei’s affair back then. Lu Jinnan replied that when Lu Jinbei went back, he said that another girl used scheming tactics to chase after him, and he couldn’t hold himself back!

Lu Jinnan and his father despised the scheming lady who ruined someone else’s relationship.

Bai Xiaonian didn’t want to mess things up…

Worried that his father would ask more questions and that Bai Xiaonian wouldn’t be able to answer them, Lu Jinnan said, “Dad, no matter who Xiao Bei brought home, he was the one who chose her. If the lady has a decent character, we shouldn’t get ourselves involved. After all, he has to spend the rest of his life with her. What matters most is that he likes her!”

The moment Lu Jinnan’s father nodded, Lu Jinnan’s tone of voice changed. “However, if the lady has major character flaws, we can’t approve of her no matter how much Xiao Bei likes her. She and Xiao Bei have to spend the rest of their lives together, after all. If the lady isn’t reliable and decides to turn on Xiao Bei, the rest of his life will be ruined!”

Lu Jinnan only felt relieved once he saw his father nod approvingly.

Lu Jinnan went to the kitchen to wash some fruits for Bai Xiaonian. The moment he brought them out, Lu Jinbei and Cai Jingyao entered the house with multiple bags in hand…

Cai Jingyao froze slightly when she saw Bai Xiaonian sitting on the couch eating fruits. She then smiled generously and greeted Bai Xiaonian. “Long time no see, Xiaonian…”

Lu Jinbei was shocked but had a calm expression on his face a moment later.

Lu Jinbei had forced himself to give up on Bai Xiaonian ever since he learned that she got together with Lu Jinnan…

However, he could only give up on Bai Xiaonian and remain calm when he didn’t see her. Now that he saw her, he was overwhelmed with emotion. He felt like he was being tortured.

Bai Xiaonian looked in Cai Jingyao’s direction, a hint of a smile on her lips.

Cai Jingyao had wavy, waist-length hair that fell over her shoulders. She was wearing a pale blue V-neck top, jeans, and thin-heeled sandals, which made her figure appear slender.

Cai Jingyao’s gaze swept over Lu Jinnan as she naturally placed the things in her hands on the shoe cabinet. She then held onto the shoe cabinet with one hand as she bent down to take off her heels with the other.

As she bent down, her long hair cascaded over her shoulders. The necklace around her neck made her fair neck appear as beautiful as a swan.

Bai Xiaonian’s eyes narrowed. Cai Jingyao was best at secretly showing off her good looks like this.
