✔The Villain And The Cannon Fodder's Mother (Book 1)

(111) He'd Have All These Flowers Dug Up And Removed

Housekeeper Zhang didn’t need to say much to get Xiao Chen to give in and promised to be on her side. She vowed to complete the assignment given to them Ms. Lin Ping!

There was a lot of attention given to these two…

As the two were talking about them behind their back, Lin Yiyi had the sudden urge to sneeze.

In front of her, Lu Xun lowered his head with a slight blush on his cheeks. “I don’t know what to get Old Mr. Gu. I figured that you are his daughter, so you must have some ideas of what I can get for him, right?”

Having said that, he looked at her with anticipation.

What could her stepdad possibly like? What couldn’t a person buy when he was rich? Buying him what he liked just might not work here.

At this point, Lin Yiyi had no idea whether this Mr. Lu was pretending to be dumb or came over to give her a hard time intentionally.

“Truth be told, it really doesn’t matter what you get him in return,” said Lin Yiyi with difficulty.

“It’s not the same,” said Lu Xun with the most serious tone. “When Old Mr. Gu was in town, he took on the task of inviting everyone to fish every day. Everybody appreciated his contribution, including me. Even though I am only getting him something in return, I will still feel better if it’s something that I have first run by you.”

Lin Yiyi: “……”

Her stepdad had contributed that much?

Didn’t he just trick… ahem, ask others to give him lots of fish every day?

Lu Xun went on to say, “I have my car ready. Let’s head out now.”

Lin Yiyi: “?????”

This Mr. Lu was definitely a man of action; he just whisked Lin Yiyi into his car and they were on their way.

As soon as the two of them left, Housekeeper Zhang gave Aunt Chen a complacent look that seemed to say, “See? Am I right or am I right?”

Wonderful! Spring was about to visit the Lin’s again. The two of them were even more energetic when they tackled their work.

----------------------------

Meng Yuran attended a one-hour free combat lesson and then practiced for an hour by himself before he headed home, drenched in his own sweat.

When he arrived home, it was quiet inside so he assumed that his mother had gone over to her restaurant.

Other than the restaurant, he couldn’t think of anywhere else that she could be at…

The young man, kept from the truth, went inside his room to shower.

------------------------

At the very moment, Lin Yiyi was already standing in the garden of the Lu’s mansion.

Lu Xun said to her apologetically, “I am sorry I wasted your time today, Miss Lin.”

Lin Yiyi didn’t really feel that way.

She has lots of time and not much going on.

She shook her head and complimented, “Your house is quite pretty.”

She was telling the truth. The garden at the Lu’s was exceptionally pretty.

There was a small path starting from the entrance with all sorts of fanciful flowers on both sides. There were also pink roses wrapped around the metal gate extending all the way to the outside.

Following the direction of where she was looking, Lu Xun also took a look at the garden and a hint of distaste flashed through his eyes.

He had been wanting to say it for a while now. His brother made the mansion look like this, and it was such a hassle.

Every morning, after he had woken up and was heading out to work, he needed to go downstairs from his room and walked all the way to the front door. Then, there was this long little path going out from the front door that cars couldn’t even get in…

What was his problem?

Just because of that, he needed to get up at least 10 minutes earlier every morning!

Only the Heavens knew the real reason for why he seemed to be in a bad mood every day in front of his subordinates, which caused them to tread on thin ice. It was because of his lack of sleep.

That was so annoying!

“Let’s not stand here outside of the front door anymore. There isn’t much to look at here anyway. Why don’t you take a tour of my kitchen?”

Lu Xun changed his subject.

As he walked Lin Yiyi inside his house, he turned around and gave the garden another gloomy look.

One of these days, he’d have all these flowers dug up and removed!
