reignition

Jiang Mian didn't actually know whether it was just a misperception caused by her excessive nervousness.

Or is that really the case? She always felt that Lu Bozhou seemed to be testing her from time to time.

If the man is only testing her because he suspects her intentions and ulterior motives.

Jiang Mian didn't care.

However, she felt that the man's probing of her did not only stem from suspicion that he had ulterior motives.

Rather... something deeper.

Jiang Mian took a deep breath.

He shook his head and said, "No, I don't recognize it. It just doesn't seem like the way to any hotel or restaurant."

Of course not.

The Lu residence is located on the outskirts of Los Angeles, because there are many factories and various workshops in the southern part of Los Angeles.

Therefore, the air quality and environment are generally poor.

The north side of the city, which is diagonally opposite to the south, is a place of beautiful mountains and clear waters.

As a result, it was developed and became a wealthy area where land is extremely valuable.

The Lu family, on the other hand, owns their own mountain in this expensive, affluent area.

The Lu family's old house is a villa located halfway up this mountain.

The mountain isn't particularly high; its slope is gentle, but it has some elevation compared to the flat urban area.

Therefore, the view overlooking Los Angeles is perfect and very beautiful.

Jiang Mian had visited many times, but she never showed any interest in appreciating the place; she only wanted to leave as soon as possible.

And this time was no different; it was just as the car was about to enter the four-lane road leading to the hill where the Lu family's old house was located.

She felt a pang of anxiety, like a cat scratching at her heart.

Although Lu Chaochi was also reluctant to participate in this kind of activity, he still patiently explained it to her.

“We’re not going to a hotel, Mianmian, we’re going to the Lu family’s old residence,” Lu Chaochi said. “Although I don’t particularly like it there, it is indeed quite beautiful.”

Jiang Mian thought to herself, "No wonder he's my son; his thoughts are almost the same as mine."

At that moment, the man who had been silent all along because of his bad mood...

He scoffed, "What's the use of being pretty? A bunch of demons and monsters, they're just too much trouble."

Hearing Lu Bozhou's words, Jiang Mian's previously anxious mood inexplicably eased.

In her past life, she always felt that she was the only one who came to the Lu family's old mansion to suffer from anxiety and torment.

But it seems that Lu Bozhou also feels disgusted and tormented?

However, in this life, she is just a nanny, an unknown nanny.

Even if the Lu family's old mansion is a den of dragons and tigers, she, a nobody, is no big deal.

But this Mr. Lu... must be having a headache.

Jiang Mian didn't know whether she was gloating or experiencing some other emotion.

In short, the thought of sacrificing a fellow Daoist to save oneself made one feel much more relaxed.

“A bunch of demons and monsters have nothing to do with Mianmian.” Lu Chaochi’s fair and lovely face showed a serious expression.

I have to say, this child's smile is so adorable it melts your heart.

But when she puts on a serious and focused expression, her demeanor is so similar to Lu Bozhou's.

Lu Chaochi stared intently at Lu Bozhou with his big, round eyes.

"Dad, don't let them cause trouble for Mianmian." Lu Chaochi's eyebrows were furrowed tightly. "Otherwise, I'll go back with Mianmian, and you can go participate by yourself."

Jiang Mian was speechless. If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't appropriate to do this in front of Lu Bozhou, and that she couldn't act freely in the car, she would have been even more amazed.

She really wanted to kiss, hug, and lift her son high in the air.

She felt the same level of protectiveness from her son that she couldn't get from Lu Bozhou in her past life.

No wonder people always say that if God takes something away from you, He will compensate you in other ways.

Lu Bozhou never provided her with emotional support, but her son provided it all.

Jiang Mian felt a warm feeling in her heart.

I'm a little worried that Lu Bozhou, with his temper, might get angry if the child says such things.

Lu Bozhou wasn't angry. He chuckled and said, "Why would they bother a nanny for no reason?"

After saying that, he paused for a few seconds, then added another sentence.

"Even if it is, it's really just to embarrass me. The only person they want to cause trouble for is me."

His voice was indifferent.

Strangely enough, Jiang Mian felt something... indescribable when she heard these words.

She couldn't quite put her finger on the feeling, but she always felt that there was something deeper hidden in Lu Bozhou's words.

But she couldn't quite figure it out right away, and she didn't want to ask Lu Bozhou for details.

Can only be silent.

But after a moment, the man looked at her and Lu Chaochi.

His gaze was indifferent, but it seemed to drift away, somewhat empty.

“Lu Chaochi, if they target Jiang Mian, don’t overreact. If you do, I can’t just stand by and do nothing. If I react because of this…”

Lu Bozhou paused for a moment, his voice becoming even more subdued, "Their goal has been achieved."

Lu Chaochi also chuckled, even though his facial features were not that similar to Lu Bozhou's.

But when he laughs like that, he looks exactly like Lu Bozhou.

Lu Chaochi chuckled, "I know. They'll definitely use this to control you, and they'll do it every now and then. Don't worry, Dad."

After the father and son finished their conversation, they didn't say anything more.

The carriage fell silent; for a while, no one spoke.

The father and son were perhaps in low spirits because they were about to arrive at the Lu family's old residence, so they remained silent.

And ginger cotton...

Jiang Mian was somewhat surprised.

Or you could even call it shocking.

Even though she knew that in her past life, this man... treated her like she was not human.

She always felt that he was only doing this because he resented and loathed her.

That's why they turned a blind eye to the bullying she suffered at the hands of the Lu family.

Furthermore, Jiang Mian always felt that there was nothing to wash, and nothing worth washing.

He simply doesn't love her, so he won't feel sorry for her or pity her.

I'm just pathetic, I can't let go, that's why I keep getting hurt like that.

But having died once already, even if one can't give up hope, it's time to give up. If a person dies, how can their heart not die?

Even though I knew that was the case, I was still shocked when I overheard the conversation between the father and son.

I still can't help but be shocked and surprised.

Even emotionally, that useless, unreliable heart can't help but wonder if, in her past life, he had always ignored her because of this?

But rationally, she mentally slapped herself hard!

Give me a break, Jiang Mian! Because you keep making excuses like this, always thinking there's this or that possibility, in the end, even your death will be a terrible one!

With a slight jolt, the car came to a stop in an open square.

This is the small square in front of the Lu family's old residence. At this moment, the parking spaces in the square are already filled with all kinds of luxury cars.

We've arrived at the Lu residence.
