Chapter 147 Can't you learn from your father?
This design... is brilliant!
Lu Yining's eyes lit up as she looked at it.
"I commissioned someone to design it."
As Lu Yubai spoke, he pointed to the button on the other end of the bamboo hairpin.
"This button over here is for storing medicine. I've also prepared some sleeping pills for you. Just put them into the bamboo hairpin. If danger arises, just use the hairpin to spray the sleeping pills at the enemy."
After a pause, Lu Yubai continued seriously, "When fully loaded with medicine, it can be sprayed five times. After five times, the medicine in the bamboo hairpin will be completely emptied, and nothing can be sprayed out anymore."
"Yes, I understand." Lu Yining nodded, indicating that Lu Yubai could rest assured. The more she looked at the bamboo hairpin in her hand, the more satisfied she became.
Who wouldn't love such a beautiful and functional hairpin?
Seeing that Lu Yining genuinely liked the gift, Lu Yubai was finally relieved.
When the murder occurred at the school, he had already started thinking about whether he should get something for his fifth sister to protect herself, but he couldn't figure out what to get.
Later, he heard that his fifth sister and eldest brother had been chased by drug dealers while out, who were attempting to retaliate against his second brother by torturing and killing them. Worried, he began to ponder again what kind of weapon would be convenient to carry without attracting attention.
Although Fifth Sister is very strong and a formidable fighter, weapons have no eyes. Her strength is only effective against unarmed opponents; what if they are armed with knives or guns? Can Fifth Sister still guarantee a victory against them?
That's why he sought out a design expert, and after discussing it with that person, he designed this bamboo hairpin.
However... that's not all. There's another weapon still under design, but it's taking a bit longer to develop, so we can't bring it back to give to Ningning yet.
Seeing this, Lu Yunchen's eyes darkened, and he also recalled what had happened on the road some time ago.
He never kept a gun in his car before, but after that incident, he now makes sure to keep a few silenced guns in his car, just in case.
Last time, it was just that those drug dealers didn't bring guns, only knives. If they had all brought guns that day, he doesn't know how dangerous it would have been for them.
He was fine on his own, but Ningning was in his car that day!
After that day, he often reminded himself of this.
Such a thing, such a mistake, must never be repeated.
Sitting next to Lu Yunchen, Li Manrong wore a faint smile, but deep envy was evident in her eyes. Sure enough, she was right; the atmosphere in the Lu family was indeed very pleasant.
Such a warm and caring scene, showing consideration for family, is something you would never see in her home.
Oh, actually it's not like that. They just don't treat her that way because she's a girl, and girls... in that family, they're destined to be disregarded.
Mu Linglan was perceptive; upon seeing Li Manrong's expression, she instantly recalled the unspoken thoughts Lu Yining had previously revealed. She pondered for a moment, then thought of a topic to ask Li Manrong.
"Rongrong, you've been spending some time with Yunchen now. What do you think of him?"
[Haha, I wonder if my older brother has told Mom that he and his future sister-in-law are currently in the stage of pretending to be a couple?]
[This is absolutely hilarious! The older brother is such a coward, he doesn't dare to openly say he likes his future sister-in-law, he only dares to have someone else pretend to be his girlfriend in an attempt to get closer to her. It's unbelievable.]
Mu Linglan looked surprised. "There's such a thing?"
She glanced subtly in Lu Yunchen's direction. This son of hers was decisive and efficient at work, yet so hesitant when it came to matters of the heart? He seemed like a completely different person, so unfamiliar that she found it... indescribable...
Lu Beishu glanced at his eldest son, pursed his lips, and thought, "Can't you learn from your father?"
Back then, once he had confirmed his feelings, he acted decisively without any hesitation.
After three months of ambiguous courtship, he confessed his feelings to Linglan and they officially started dating. Although they were often apart due to work commitments, he still made time to see Linglan and surprise her.
From beginning to end, his goal was clear: once he set his mind on someone, he would pursue them and not let himself have any regrets.
Sigh, I never imagined that his eldest son would inherit none of his decisive and resolute character from back then.
Not to mention Lu Beishu and Mu Linglan despised him, even Old Master Lu and others couldn't help but look at Lu Yunchen, giving him a "I look down on you" look.
Only Lu Yining, who was complaining, and Li Manrong, who hadn't heard what Lu Yunchen was saying, didn't look in his direction.
Suddenly being stared at by so many people, and with his secret being so blatantly exposed, Lu Yunchen felt extremely awkward, and his embarrassment kept rising.
If he had known today would be this awkward, he would have preferred not to go home and to hold a meeting with his employees at the company instead!
At this moment, Li Manrong, who was called upon by Mu Linglan, thought about it seriously for a while and then spoke up, saying, "Yun Chen is very good. He is serious about his work, acts with composure, and will step forward without hesitation when others need help, without caring about his own gains or losses."
“Yun Chen has taken good care of me a lot, and I often feel very lucky to have met him.”
[Tsk tsk tsk, taking care of him? Hmm... he did take care of him, and... he clearly had a chance to go further that time, but his cowardly older brother ruined it.]
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Lu Yining, but the gaze didn't linger for long. Some people's eyes returned to Lu Yunchen, while others... pretended to be in a daze, either with their heads down or looking elsewhere.
Even if she were slow to notice, Li Manrong could sense that something was wrong with the Lu family. She was puzzled. Had she said something wrong?
She glanced at the hand resting on the sofa, paused, and then slowly moved her left hand toward the direction of that hand.
She stopped when her left hand touched the edge of that palm, and raised a finger, intending to pat Lu Yunchen's hand and ask for an answer.
Before she could even clap her index finger, she suddenly heard a "tsk tsk" sound beside her ear.
When my future sister-in-law's computer broke down, my older brother volunteered to fix it for her.
[While my brother was getting his computer fixed, my future sister-in-law went to get him a drink. She got a small bottle of Coke, intending to put it on the table, but she didn't place it securely, and the Coke tipped over and rolled onto the floor.]
