Reincarnation: From Opressed Missy to Campus Belle

419  Lu family (I)

"By the way, I saw your stepmother in the lobby of the hospital just now, "Ming Jun said on the phone. He was standing in the lobby of the hospital when he saw a very familiar face. He had seen Lu Zhaolin's wife's image in the company's pictures and brochures. They could easily recognise Song Yifei. He had not expected to meet her in the hospital. He wanted to go ahead and greet her but then he realized that she did not recognise him as they had not been introduced.

"My Stepmother?" An Xiulan asked, confused. What would she be doing in the hospital?

Ming Jun said, "Mrs Lu? She is your stepmother, isn't she?"

"Is she still there?" An Xiulan asked.

Ming Jun looked at the lady waiting for someone and said, "Yes, I think she is waiting for someone."

"Maybe, she came to see someone in the hospital, "An Xiulan said. There could be so many reasons why her stepmother was in hospital like her friend was sick and she came to visit them. Or maybe, her health was not right. If it was the second case, she should go and meet her.

Ming Jun said in excitement, "Oh, you will not believe what I just saw."

He was not the one to seek gossip everywhere he went but the scene that he saw in front of him was something that he never thought he would see in his entire life. It was more dramatic than the scenes in drama or movies. All the events that were taking place today were not less dramatic but this one would top all of them.

"What?" asked An Xiulan.

"President An and Mrs Lu together hugging like besties. Your stepmother started crying as she hugged your mother. What a parallel universe I am in!" Ming Jun said.

Who would have thought that he would see Mr Lu's ex and current wife together hugging each other in the lobby of the hospital? Does this scene make any sense to anyone? To him, it was not! What on earth is happening here?

An Xiulan was confused. Why would her mom be here in the first place? And what's more Song Yifei and An Qinyan were with each other. Was there something that she did not know?

"Are they still there?" An Xiulan asked him.

"No, they just left, "Ming Jun said. He added, "Shall I follow them for you?"

"Don't be ridiculous, Ming Jun, "An Xiulan said, "You are taking the role of private detective too seriously."

Ming Jun asked, "Alright, I will do as you say. Shall we leave for the office?"

"Yes, I will see you directly in the office, "An Xiulan answered him.

After hanging up the call, An Xiulan called her mother. She wanted to know what was going on. As she called her mother, the secretary picked up the call and told her that her mother was in an important meeting and she would call her back when she got free from there.

"What is happening?" An Xiulan asked herself as she looked at her phone, "Mom never lies. If mom is in the hospital, then why is she lying to me?"

An Xiulan asked, "Shall I call Aunt Feifei?"

"But what if mom began doubting me?" This was another problem.

She walked back and forth, racking her mind, "What do I do?"

Then, suddenly an idea hit her. She called the Lu family and it was Lu Xun who picked up the call. She was surprised when Lu Xun picked up the call.

"Xiaobao, why are you not at school?"An Xiulan asked. He should be in school at this time. It was not the weekend. Why was he still at home?

Lu Xun answered with great happiness. "Jiejie, I told mom that I want to stay at home and she agreed."

"Really?" She was suspicious. As much as she knew her stepmother, she knew that Song Yifei was very strict when it came to his studies. It did not make any sense that Song Yifei agreed to let him stay at home for no reason at all.

An Xiulan asked her brother, "Are you sick?"

Lu Xun answered, "No, Jiejie."

An Xiulan questioned, "Then, how did your mom agree to let you stay at home?"

"I requested her nicely."Xiaobao shared his logic with her which made no sense at all.

"Such requests don't work on your mama, "An Xiulan said, "Tell me what did you do?"

"Maybe, I am more convincing now, "Lu Xun said after pondering for a moment.

An Xiulan laughed. "Whatever helps you sleep at night, baby brother."

"Jiejie!"

"When is dad coming from his work meetings?" An Xiulan asked. The Lu family was acting weird. Her father went out for work-related stuff without informing her. He had not called in days and she had no idea what was going on in his life. His wife was in the hospital with his ex-wife. Things did not make sense to her.

"Which meeting?" Lu Xun asked. He did not know that his father went to some meeting.

"Did he not go abroad for a meeting?" An Xiulan asked him.

Lu Xun got upset listening to it, "Did he? Did he lie to me? He told me in the morning that he will not go abroad without me this time."

"He did not go abroad?" An Xiulan questioned.

"He was at home in the morning, "Lu Xun answered, "Mom and dad went somewhere."

"Xiaobao, is everything good at home?"An Xiulan asked. She was now worried about her family.

"Yes, Jiejie. I am all good, "Lu Xun answered her, "Dad hasn't scolded me lately. I broke his favourite vase and he just smiled at me."

"How are your mama and dad?"An Xiulan asked.

"They are pretty good to me."

"Are they behaving weirdly?"An Xiulan questioned.

Lu Xun paused and then he said, "Jiejie, I think dad and mom are playing some kind of game. They have been acting very sneaky. And dad is not going to the office. He is always acting lazy and lying in his room."

"Where is grandma?"

haven't seen him in a while. I am planning to give him a surprise."

09:18

"I don't know."

An Xiulan sighed, "Xiaobao when dad comes home, tell me. I will come to see you in the evening. I haven't seen him in a while. I am planning to give him a surprise."

"Will you stay the night here?" Lu Xun asked, happily.

"If you help me execute the surprise, "An Xiulan answered.

"Okay!"

As An Xiulan hung up the call, she dialled Lu Xuan.

"Teeny, are you my karma?" Lu Xuan asked in a hoarse and sleepy voice.

"Lu Xuan, something is wrong with our family, "An Xiulan said, ignoring his complaints. "Dad is lying to me. Mom and Auntie Feifei are in the hospital together and when I called mom, Miss Shen said mom is in a conference. Xiaobao is at home instead of being at home. Dad told everyone that he is abroad but I found from Xiaobao that he was always here."

"Damn, "Lu Xuan cursed. "It did not sound good. It seems like these elders are hiding something from us."

"But what?" An Xiulan asked.

"Shall I call father?" Lu Xuan asked.

"He will get suspicious if you call at this hour, "An Xiulan told him.

"I can make a sappy story, can't I?" Lu Xuan told her.

"Like?"An Xiulan asked.

"Like I saw him dying in the dream and I got scared and instantly called him. Trust me, it will make him emotional, "Lu Xuan shared his great plan.

"Lu Xuan! Don't use the words dying and parents in the same sentence or I will beat you, "An Xiulan threatened him. She could not imagine any harm coming her parents way even in her wildest dreams. This just made her sad. What kind of world would it be without her parents in it?

"Sorry, I didn't mean to make you sad, "Lu Xuan said. "Stop worrying, Teeny. The elders know what they are doing. Let them handle this matter on their own."

"What if they are in trouble?"An Xiulan asked.

"They are older and wiser. They can deal with their problems. Sometimes, it's better to not know things if they are not telling us, "Lu Xuan said. "If mom is involved, we should not worry then. Trust her, okay?"

An Xiulan nodded. "I shall not be curious?"

"Just wait for them to tell you, "Lu Xuan said. "Don't play detective. Alright?"

An Xiulan sighed but agreed.

"Now let me go back to sleep, "Lu Xuan said and hung up the call. As the phone got disconnected, he called someone and said, "I want to know what my family is up to lately."

"I will give you the report by the morning, Young Master, "The man said from the other side.

"Emphasize more on the Lu family, "Lu Xuan said.

He looked at the dark ceiling and sighed. He had asked his sister to stop investigating as she would only get more stressed but he could not do the same as he needed to know.
