Xu Yan stopped them. "You two stay here. I'll go over and take a look."
By the time Xu Yan got there, the two were already fighting tooth and nail.
"Stop! Both of you, stop right now!"
Xu Yan raised his voice and shouted, but the two showed no intention of stopping.
In the end, Xu Yan had to use some strength to force them apart. At this moment, there was blood on both of their faces, clearly showing that they had both landed heavy blows.
Xu Yan frowned. "I don't care what kind of relationship you two brothers have, but today you're in our Xu family. My sister was scared. You from the Lu family saved her, and our Xu family is grateful for that. But that doesn't mean you can just fight at will in my house."
"Qingqing just came back. Do you want to ruin her mood and make her worried and guilty?"
"I don't care what your motives are for approaching my sister, but if my sister gets hurt because of you, I will never let you off."
...
On the other side, after the police arrested the three men and questioned them for some information, they came to the Xu family that afternoon.
Father Xu and Mother Xu welcomed them politely.
Xu Qingqing had already tidied herself up by now. Officer Zhou sat across from her.
"Miss Xu, through our interrogation of these three men, we've obtained some information."
"It's true that they wanted to restore the ancient painting, but they knew about you because someone deliberately spread the news to them."
"The gang they were in had been on the verge of collapse due to our crackdown. But someone inside the gang said that you were a master at restoring cultural relics."
"We're currently investigating who leaked the information, but even our professional technicians can't determine the identity of the person."
"Normally, no one would be so secretive, so we suspect that you might have offended someone recently. Is there anyone who wants to get back at you?"
Hearing the officer's words, Father Xu and Mother Xu were worried.
Xu Qingqing's face also darkened.
She had originally thought it was just an accident, but now it seemed that someone had deliberately tried to harm her.
When it came to people who had a grudge against her, other than Gu Anrou, she couldn't think of anyone else.
She looked at Lu Chuanbai, who had heard the whole conversation. "Do you think this has anything to do with Miss Gu?"
Lu Chuanbai pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.
"I'll go ask her."
Right in front of the police, Lu Chuanbai called Gu Anrou directly.
"Brother Chuanbai, why did you think of calling me? Is it because you miss me?"
Gu Anrou's cheerful voice came from the other end.
Lu Chuanbai lowered his voice and asked her coldly, "Is the matter of Miss Xu's kidnapping related to you?"
He had the phone on speaker. If Gu Anrou admitted it on the phone, the police could arrest her on the spot.
"Brother Chuanbai, what are you talking about? I'm also very sad about Miss Xu's kidnapping, but it wasn't me. I don't even know such people."
"Brother Chuanbai, don't suspect me just because I had some conflicts with Miss Xu. Isn't it a bit unfair to me? Do you have any evidence?"
Seeing that Gu Anrou firmly denied it and looked very aggrieved, Lu Chuanbai didn't ask any more questions. He just perfunctorily said a few words to her and then hung up the phone.
Lu Chuanbai looked at Xu Qingqing. "It seems it wasn't her."
Xu Qingqing just sneered. "She's not stupid. Do you think she'll admit it just because you ask?"
After saying that, Xu Qingqing didn't want to talk to Lu Chuanbai anymore. Instead, she looked at Officer Zhou. "Since I returned to China, the only person who has a grudge against me is Miss Gu. I can't think of anyone else. Of course, Miss Gu might be innocent. You can go and investigate."
Since Officer Zhou couldn't get any more information, he got up to leave.
Xu Qingqing glanced at Lu Chuanbai and Lu Fenglin, who were covered in injuries.
"You two brothers don't come to our house anymore. People who often fight and have low qualities aren't welcome in our house."
Hearing this, Lu Fenglin immediately said with a smile, "Miss Xu, please forgive us brothers this time. I thought my brother didn't take good care of you, so I got angry and hit him a few times. My brother isn't the type to take it lying down, so he fought back."
"After all, we brothers fought because of you, Miss Xu."
Hearing this, Father Xu and Mother Xu thought that they were just like children.
Father Xu comforted them. "Alright, alright. When I was young, I also fought with my brothers at the slightest provocation. This just shows that their brotherly relationship is good."
Hearing this, Lu Fenglin immediately responded with a smile. "Uncle Xu is right. Our brotherly relationship has always been good."
Seeing that Lu Fenglin had already said so much, in order to prevent himself from being driven away by Xu Qingqing, Lu Chuanbai had no choice but to nod.
Xu Yan looked at them deeply but didn't say a word.
In the room, Xu Qingqing sat by the window looking at the sky outside.
Xu An'an and Xu YiYi came over and sat beside her.
Xu An'an blinked her eyes and asked her, "Mummy, which of the two Uncle Lus do you like more? I think both Uncle Lus like you."
Xu YiYi immediately said to Xu An'an, "Of course it's the older uncle. Uncle Lu Chuanbai is mature, steady and good-looking."
Xu An'an said unconvincingly, "But Uncle Lu Fenglin is also good-looking. He looks even better when he smiles."
Xu YiYi curled her lips. "He looks too effeminate. He's not a real man. I still like Uncle Lu Chuanbai."
The two children argued unconvincingly about which Uncle Lu was better.
Xu Qingqing smiled and hugged the two children into her arms.
"So, An'an and YiYi want Mummy to find you a daddy?"
She had never asked this question before.
But now that the two children had returned to China, in the past two days, her elder brother had taken them to look at kindergartens. Her elder brother had once told her that whenever YiYi saw other children accompanied by their fathers, she always looked very lonely.
Maybe she had deprived the two children of fatherly love.
This time, the two children both nodded.
Xu An'an blinked her eyes and looked up at Xu Qingqing. "Mummy, where is our daddy? Why can't we go find him? Other children all have daddies."
Xu YiYi nodded. "Yes, Mummy. When we go to kindergarten in the future, if other children have daddies and we don't, they will definitely laugh at us."
Hearing the two children's words, Xu Qingqing fell silent.
"This is a long story. Forget it. Mummy will tell you a story today. We'll talk about this another day, okay?"
