Doting To The End Is The King’s Way (29)

After Shi Guang had left, Chu Mubei looked at Lu Yanchen with an aggrieved expression immediately. "Old Lu, you're really far from steady! To think that you would backstab me after I tried to help you!"1

Lu Yanchen raised his head and looked at Chu Mubei. "Help me? Speaking of which, I should be the one asking you. Have you helped to find her yet?"

When he heard that, Chu Mubei looked out of the window guiltily. "This… requires some time."

"It's already been more than a month," Lu Yanchen remarked coldly, "Didn't you say that there's no one you can't find?"

When he heard that, Chu Mubei was really helpless too.

"5 provinces spreading out North, South, East and West… Every single woman—no matter how young or old, no matter if she's a vegetable or not—I've already had people investigate. But, there truly just isn't news of Mo Feifei."

As he said, he sighed as well, "Old Lu, I know that this is not an outcome you're willing to come to terms with. But, there are some things that I must still let you know. You truly must be mentally prepared that Mo Feifei might not be returning this time around."

Lu Yanchen thought about the words she told him that day.

"Lu Yanchen, I'll never ever be truly blissful until my sister is found."

She was trying her best to soften the impact of those words. But, there was no way she could conceal her sadness entirely.

Enduring his emotions, his gaze darkened as another layer of frost was added to his face. "But, I've also said before that Mo Feifei HAS to live and HAS to return."

Chu Mubei was sweating. "…"

"If you can't find her, that means that something might have happened to her. That also means that you're useless."

Chu Mubei exclaimed aggrievedly, "Every connection I'm using are yours. If I'm useless, that means that you're useless too! In this sea of people out there, searching for her is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Even if the deities were to descend down on Earth, they wouldn't be able to get it so easily! Or, do you want me to get someone that resembles Mo Feifei as a replacement to tide through the situation first?"

Lu Yanchen's mouth cramped. "Get lost!"

"Asking me to get lost as and when you wish to… Old Lu, I have found that you're really much less affectionate to me after you've got your Little Sister Shi Guang."

"Get lost!"

Affectionate? Was he nuts?

"Get lost AGAIN! I really must have owed all of this to you in my past life. Everyday, I'm just doing stuff for you in and out. You should do something for me as well. After my old man found out about me deceiving Liu Xueqian, I was given a rough scolding. Didn't you promise Little Sister Shi Guang that you were going to buy over the shares of the Lius? Even if you're not going to make them bankrupt, you can't just be all talk and no show!" Chu Mubei dissed savagely.

Lu Yanchen ignored him and covered the blanket over himself, preparing to sleep.

He had to recover well. If he was crippled, that stupid girl was going to dump him.

Looking at how he looked like he was going to sleep, Chu Mubei felt even more aggrieved. "We've been bros for so many years. Just tell me, are you helping me or not?"

Lu Yanchen gave no expression and merely remained silent for a while. "Since I promised her, we naturally have to acquire their shares. However, the Lius are no greenhorns, and they do have quite a solid foundation. Even if I start acquiring their shares now, it'll take some time, and it wouldn't be able to stop you guys from getting married. All you want to do is to back out of the marriage. Think of a simpler plan to do that then."

Chu Mubei was triggered. "Simpler plan?" He laughed bitterly, not knowing to laugh or cry. If there were a simpler plan, he wouldn't have been having this headache now!

He scratched at his hair frustratedly, turning it into a huge mess. After a moment, he said, "Aiyah, Old Lu, how about considering my house's old man to be the same as your house's Chief Lu? He needs the money of the Lius to help him climb another level!"
