Chapter 1820: Chapter 1820: Zhou Yu Strikes Huang Gai—One Willing to Hit, One Willing to Take the Blows (Part 1)
Yang Li received the order from Lu Hualiang early, that Xia Weibao would arrive tonight and he should come to greet her.
A haggard Yang Li looked at Xia Weibao as if he was seeing his own mother!
Young Madam, you’re finally back. If you didn’t return soon, I would have been tormented to death by that psycho Lu Huashan.
She’s too damn ruthless!
She sends him poison, croton pills, fugu porridge every day, and finding a pair of scissors or a fruit knife in her bag is even more frequent than her taking out a lipstick!
It’s nothing short of a miracle that he hasn’t been done in yet!
Seeing Yang Li with Lu Hualiang’s face, Xia Weibao genuinely felt uncomfortable.
This was her husband’s face, after all. It was awkward.
Yang Li was almost overwhelmed, wanting to kneel and complain to Xia Weibao about how tough his days have been.
However, there were still a lot of people around.
In the eyes of everyone at Lu Garden, he was Lu Hualiang, and Xia Weibao was his wife.
Even though he felt like kneeling and calling Xia Weibao "Dad" a hundred times in excitement, his face remained calm and cold like a mobile ice sculpture.
Of course, when looking at Xia Weibao, he had to show a hint of tenderness.
He perfectly emulated the expressions Lu Hualiang should have.
Xia Weibao got goosebumps all over.
The two didn’t speak much; Yang Li just asked if she was tired, Xia Weibao said yes, and then went back to her room.
After closing the door, Yang Li almost burst into tears.
"Young Madam, you’ve finally returned."
It was clearly Lu Hualiang’s face, but with Yang Li’s expressions and voice, Xia Weibao felt very uncomfortable.
"Um, Assistant Yang, now that there’s no one around, could you take this off first?"
She pointed at his face.
It was then that Yang Li realized and quickly walked into the bathroom to remove the disguise mask from his face.
Xia Weibao felt things looked much better.
"So you’ve been pretending to be Director Lu all this time?" She was curious about this.
"Yes."
"No one recognized you?"
"No, I’ve been by Director Lu’s side for decades; I know everything about him. Because the boss has a double identity, I often have to be his stand-in and have deliberately imitated his expressions and micro-movements."
Xia Weibao raised an eyebrow, it seemed Lu Hualiang truly trusted Yang Li.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t let someone imitate him, knowing that if Yang Li had ill intentions, it would be easy as pie to do anything while looking like him.
"Where is Director Lu, why hasn’t he returned?" Xia Weibao asked.
Since Yang Li was here to pick her up, it meant Lu Hualiang had already notified them.
"The boss still has some unresolved matters. If he comes back hastily, it would be too easy to expose his identity."
Summer rarely appeared in public. This trip to the Xia Family completely exposed himself.
Many were already watching him, making it hard to escape.
He had to make sure no one knew his whereabouts before he could resume the identity of Lu Hualiang.
Otherwise, involving Lu Garden would be troublesome.
Lu Huashan and the rest are all ordinary people and have no self-defense abilities!
Lu Hualiang is so busy, he can’t protect everyone, there’d surely be oversights.
Xia Weibao felt a bit disappointed, "How long will it be before he can return?"
She thought that once the matters with the Xia Family were resolved, they could return to their previous life.
Unexpectedly, even though her issues were resolved, he ended up with a whole bunch of trouble.
"In a few more days."
When at the Xia Family, Xia Weibao and Summer had a moment; many knew about it.
So when Xia Weibao returned to Huaxia, there were surely people secretly watching her, wanting to see if she would contact Summer.
