After five years on the run, she returns with two cute babies

Chapter 924: Dreaming of living together

"No need," Xiao Jincheng waved his hand and said, "You still have a lot of things to deal with. There's no need to waste time with an old man like me. Lilith, I hope everything you do for the Xiao family is worth it."

Having said that, Xiao Jincheng looked at Lilith meaningfully, and then left.

But Xiao Jincheng's look made Lilith feel cold all over. She knew Xiao Jincheng too well. Just one look and she knew that Xiao Jincheng had murderous intentions.

But who was he going to kill? Himself? No, that was impossible. Xiao Jincheng had raised him. If he wasn't there, who would inherit the Xiao family? Xiao Jincheng would never do that.

Who else is there, Mingyang? Probably not. If Grandpa wanted to kill Mingyang, he would have done it long ago. Why waste so much time and money on him?

After getting rid of these two people, who else does grandpa want to kill?

Lilith was puzzled, and took advantage of the fact that no one was around to go back to the room where Xiao Mingyang was imprisoned.

Xiao Mingyang was still sitting by the bed and didn't move at all when he heard the sound.

"Okay, it's me."

Hearing Lilith's voice, Xiao Mingyang quickly relaxed. He looked at her with a pale face and said, "I was really scared just now. How is it? Did Grandpa notice anything?"

"should not."

Seeing that Lilith was absent-minded, Xiao Mingyang put his arm around her shoulders and asked, "What's wrong with you? What happened just now?"

Looking sideways at Xiao Mingyang, Lilith frowned and said, "I always feel like Grandpa seems to have discovered something."

"Impossible," Xiao Mingyang said firmly, "Don't you understand Grandpa's character? If he really found out something, would he let us sit here peacefully?"

Lilith was also aware of this, but Xiao Jincheng's last look was so terrifying that it was hard for Lilith not to speculate.

Seeing that Lilith was still worried, Xiao Mingyang said, "Don't worry, I'm here and I won't let anyone hurt you."

Lilith was very annoyed now. Listening to Xiao Mingyang's powerless promises, she became even more annoyed. She pushed the man away and paced back and forth anxiously.

"You're just an idiot in the eyes of others, how can you protect me?"

"But after I take charge of the Xiao family, who will dare to bully us? Then I won't have to play dumb anymore. I can be your husband and protect you openly!"

Holding Lilith's hand, Xiao Mingyang said, "Lilith, you must not panic now. Even if Grandpa finds out something, he won't act rashly. He has to consider whether he has evidence and whether he can afford to punish you. You are the only heir to the Xiao family. If something happens to you, won't the Xiao family change hands? Grandpa will never let such a thing happen!"

Taking a deep breath, Lilith said, "You're right. I need to calm down and analyze the current situation carefully. You must be careful for the time being and must not give up at the last minute."

"Don't worry, this concerns our future, and I will never take it lightly."

Lilith nodded randomly, turned around and left the room. Xiao Mingyang, standing there, suppressed his smile, rubbed the scraps of paper on his hands, and turned back to look at the crumpled paper in the corner.

Lilith returned to her room exhausted both physically and mentally. Without turning on the light, she lay down on the sofa with her head tilted back, her brows furrowed.

Suddenly, she felt something strange in the air, and immediately drew her pistol, pointed it at someone, and shouted, "Who's there?"

As the voice fell, the room suddenly became as bright as day. Join was standing next to the switch with a grim look on his face.

When she found out it was Join, Lilith was furious and shouted, "Why are you here? Are you looking for death?"

"If I hadn't come to find you, you would have forgotten me!"

Lilith's heart was already in turmoil. She didn't want to see this disgusting guy in front of her anymore. She frowned and said, "Let's talk about it later. I'm very tired now. Let's go."

"Huh, you're tired of seeing me, but you're not tired of seeing your idiot lover?"

Join secretly followed Lilith today and saw her return to the room and take a long time to come out. Although he didn't know what happened in the room, anything could happen in the ten minutes of being alone, which made Join jealous.

Seeing Lilith turned her head away and ignored him, Join said with a sinister look, "I heard that you went to see Xiao Mingyang today? Soon you will be able to realize your wish and live with that idiot. Are you going to abandon me, your abandoned child?"

If it were in the past, Lilith would have definitely swallowed her nausea, carefully comforted him, and let Join continue to serve her. But she was in such a bad mood right now that she was lucky she didn't shoot a hornet's nest out of him with her gun.

Lilith rubbed her hair irritably and said, "When you call others idiots, take a look at yourself first! Instead of taking the time to ridicule others, you might as well reflect on why Grandpa stopped taking the medicine you prescribed!"

"What?" Join's expression changed and he asked, "Master doesn't want to take the medicine I prescribed? Then what does he take?"

"I don't know. I just heard it's a kind of medicine that harms the body, but can prolong life."

With a turn of his eyes, Join smiled, and he hooked Lilith's chin ambiguously and said, "My little beauty, you are really confused. Wouldn't it be exactly what you want if the master died earlier? The more he eats, the faster he dies. This is a good thing. Why are you looking so sad?"

Lilith slapped the disgusting hand away, glanced at him and said, "You idiot, you're still gloating here. I don't even know how you died!"

"What do you mean?"

"Grandpa no longer trusts you. Do you understand what this means?"

Hearing this, Join's face turned pale and he murmured in disbelief: "Impossible, I have always been very careful and there are no loopholes. It is impossible for me to be discovered. Besides, I have been with the master for so many years and have always been loyal. The master has no reason to suspect me."

With a cold snort, Lilith said, "You can betray Grandpa, so why didn't Grandpa kill you? You are really confident."

Join seemed to be at a loss, muttering with his head bowed to the ground: "No, I have to take action before the master finds me!"

"What do you mean?"

Raising his bloodshot eyes, Join said cruelly, "Of course I'll kill the master first! With my status in the Xiao family, as long as the master dies, no one will dare to touch me again!"

"Then go ahead and do it. I want to see who of you is faster!"

Looking at Lilith with a squint, Join asked in a cold voice, "What do you mean, are you planning to part ways with me?"

Shrugging her shoulders, Lilith said nonchalantly, "I didn't say that. I just hope you can see the truth. You're still a little naive if you want to fight Grandpa."

"What should I do? Should I wait for the master to send someone to kill me?"
