<h4>Chapter 1494: Chapter 1487: Your Sins Are Atrocious</h4>


    "Stop buttering up, your grandma’s in the kitchen, she can’t hear you. Alright, you two stop standing there,e inside with me!"


    Bai Qiao Mountain nced at Lu Tianxing without any hesitation, got up from the lounge chair, and headed to the room. Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing followed him into the room.


    After entering the hall, Bai Qiao Mountain sat directly on the sofa, pointing to it and said, "You two lovebirds sit down too."


    "Mm!"


    Bai Zhiqing and Lu Tianxing nodded, with no pretense, and sat down on the sofa directly.


    "Oh, Tianxing, you’re back with Zhiqing."


    At this moment, He Can, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the voices from outside. She immediately came out from the kitchen, and upon seeing Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing, a bright smile appeared on her face.


    For the elderly, true happiness isn’t about how much their children achieve, but having a full house of family with children by their side, and that’s enough.


    "Grandma."


    Seeing He Can, Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing quickly stood up from the sofa and greeted her respectfully.


    "It’s good to be back, it’s good to be back. You sit here first, I’ll go to the kitchen and add a couple of dishes. Stay for lunch today, don’t go back."


    As she spoke, He Can immediately turned around and headed to the kitchen.


    "Grandma, how about I help you?" Lu Tianxing looked at He Can and said.


    "No need, you and Zhiqing just got back, sit and take a good rest. I’m not so old that I can’t move, no need for you to help."


    Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, He Can casually waved her hand and turned back to the kitchen. Soon, the sound of chopping vegetables clinked and nked from the kitchen.


    "So, how did it go in Jiangnan? Were you hurt?" Bai Qiao Mountain looked at Lu Tianxing and slowly spoke, a hint of worry shing across his face.


    Although he hadn’t been to Jiangnan, he had heard some news from a few old friends. Which one of the Yang Family and the Tang Family isn’t a giant? These families had always been targeting the Lu Family. Even though it ended perfectly in the end, Bai Qiao Mountain still felt a chill of fear. One step closer, and Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing might have stayed in Jiangnan forever and never returned.


    If it weren’t forbidden for officials to intervene, he would’ve taken a few oldrades and driven a tank to Jiangnan.


    Hearing Bai Qiao Mountain’s words, Lu Tianxing smiled and said, "Grandpa, what could possibly happen to me? Just a few little ants, they can’t deal with me. Do I look like I’ve been hurt?"


    Bai Qiao Mountain slightly nodded upon seeing Lu Tianxing’s appearance but still said in a somewhat displeased voice, "In the future, don’t be so headstrong. Your abilities are strong, but you should know that there’s always someone stronger. I haven’t even held my grandchild yet! If something happens to you while being reckless, how am I supposed to hold a grandchild?"


    Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing’s face instantly turned dark. It turns out this old man isn’t worried about any dangers I might face but is concerned about whether he can hold a grandchild.


    Bai Zhiqing, who was beside him, couldn’t help blushing at Bai Qiao Mountain’s words and said coquettishly, "Grandpa, what are you talking about! I’m not talking to you anymore, I’m going to take the luggage upstairs."


    With that, Bai Zhiqing stood up from the sofa, dragged the suitcase, and went upstairs.


    For a moment, only Lu Tianxing and Bai Qiao Mountain were left in the living room.


    Bai Qiao Mountain took a deep breath, and a serious look shed across his face. He looked at Lu Tianxing and said, "Tianxing, tell me, how are things in Jiangnan? Did the Lu Family give you a hard time?"


    "No, Grandpa treated me well. As for the situation in Jiangnan, it’s basically settled. Plus, with my grandpa still alive, those guys shouldn’t act rashly for now. They don’t have the guts to bet the lives of their entire n," Lu Tianxing said slowly.


    "For now? That means they might strike at any time. You must be careful. The Yang and Tang families are both big families. They’ll do anything to achieve their goals. This time, you gave them a hard p in Jiangnan and even killed their people. They definitely won’t let it go. You must be careful," Bai Qiao Mountain said seriously, looking at Lu Tianxing.


    He knew all too well the nature of these big families—vengeful. This time, they suffered such a big loss, they’ll definitely not let it slide. Especially with the strength Lu Tianxing showed, if they be apprehensive and see him as an enemy, they’ll do everything they can to eliminate him.


    "Grandpa, don’t worry, I’ll be careful. Even if they want to kill me, it’s not going to be easy." Lu Tianxing said with a smile, but a bloodthirsty glint shed deep in his eyes. Even if the Tang Family and Yang Family don’t cause him trouble, he’ll eventually hunt them down and wipe those two families off the face of the earth someday.


    Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Qiao Mountain sighed and said, "Better safe than sorry. It’s not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of one in ten thousand. You must always be careful and never drop your guard, understand?"


    "I know, Grandpa. Don’t worry." Lu Tianxing thumped his chest and promised.


    Bai Qiao Mountain nodded and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Tianxing, I heard that when the Lu Family went to confront the Yang and Tang Families, someone chose to betray the Lu Family. Is that true?"


    Lu Tianxing wasn’t surprised at Bai Qiao Mountain’s words. Even though Bai Qiao Mountain had been staying in Modu, many of his brothers were high-ranking officials, so it’s not surprising they knew. Let’s not mention there were quite a few spies from various powers hidden around the Lu Family during that battle, so there was no way to hide it.


    "Yes, Lu Hongda led some Lu Family members in betrayal. Luckily, Grandpa was only faking his death and managed to break the setup. In the end, Lu Hongda dragged those who betrayed with him tomit suicide."


    Lu Tianxing nodded gently but didn’t say much more. After all, it wasn’t exactly a glorious event for the Lu Family.


    "Theymitted suicide? Well, perhaps that was the best end for him."


    Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Qiao Mountain shook his head and refrained from asking further. It’s the kind of thing no one wants to bring up repeatedly.


    Lu Tianxing was about to say something when a voice as melodious as a nightingale’s came from upstairs: "Sister, you’re finally back. You wouldn’t believe how infuriating it was recently. Those financial websites were iming Bai’s Group was finished, saying you were about to go bankrupt, confronting Dingtian Group was like an egg hitting a rock, saying this was the biggest mistake you’d ever made. They even said you’d be arrogant and muddle-headed. It was so harsh, sister. Why don’t you buy those sites and fire those gossip-mongers to vent your anger?"


    "Weiwei, do you still care about these things? Let them say what they want; we’ll do what we do. Just because they say something doesn’t make it true, does it? Ignore them."


    "But I just can’t swallow this anger."


    Bai Weiwei’s clear and melodious voice echoed again, filled with indignation, "Their words were too harsh. Some even said you’d soon be begging Dingtian Group to let you go. It makes me so mad. If not for Grandpa holding me back, I’d have given that bunch a good beating to show them the cost of rumor-mongering."


    "Alright, alright, Weiwei, calm down, calm down. I’ve brought you a gift from Jiangnan. You won’t be angry when you see it."


    With that, the figures of Bai Zhiqing, Bai Weiwei, and Mand appeared in Lu Tianxing’s line of sight.


    At this moment, Bai Zhiqing was helplesslyforting the indignant Bai Weiwei. She wasn’t angry at all at what Bai Weiwei mentioned. She was used to the cold words since managing Bai’s Group, so much that she no longer took them to heart. Moreover, as the chairman of a group, if she couldn’t bear some ridicule, she wasn’t fit to be in charge.


    "Brother-inw, you’re back."


    "Bro, you’re finally back. I’ve missed you so much."


    At this moment, Bai Zhiqing’s side, Bai Weiwei and Mand, finally noticed Lu Tianxing sitting on the sofa. A sh of light gleamed in their eyes as they squealed and dashed down from upstairs, clinging to Lu Tianxing’s arms from both sides.


    "Brother-inw, you’re finally back. I’ve missed you so much."


    Joy was apparent in Bai Weiwei’s gaze as she looked over Lu Tianxing.


    "Yes, bro, why didn’t you tell us you wereing back? Right, did you bring us gifts? If not, don’t me us for being rough on you." Mand chimed in, her eyes shining as she nced at Lu Tianxing.


    Lu Tianxing was exasperated as he looked at Bai Weiwei and Mand. So these two were here for the gifts, not to wee him.


    Still, he wasn’t upset since he could clearly see their heartfelt concern without a single bit of pretense.


    "Gifts, I didn’t bring any."


    "What, you didn’t bring any?"


    Bai Weiwei and Mand’s eyes widened at his words and, in unison, eximed, "Lu Tianxing, you’re such a disappointment! We’ve been worrying about you at home every day, and you went off without bringing us gifts. Lu Tianxing, you broke our hearts! How could you forget to bring gifts for such beautiful girls? You’re guilty to the utmost, utterly unforgivable."
