Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!
Chapter 274 - Chapter 274 Chapter 274 Nuonuo Youre Singling Me Out to Tease

Chapter 274: Chapter 274: Nuonuo: You’re Singling Me Out to Tease? Chapter 274: Chapter 274: Nuonuo: You’re Singling Me Out to Tease? Sitting on the edge of the rooftop, Jing Zheng froze when he heard Lu Xining’s voice.

He turned around confused like a child who had done something wrong, saw her darkened face, opened his mouth but made no sound.

Lu Xining and Haozi were not slow either, they arrived just a few minutes after Fu Junhang.

At this moment, he stood about two meters away from Jing Zheng, afraid to provoke him, and didn’t dare to move closer.

“Jing Zheng, calm down, death won’t solve any problems.”

“Think about Nuonuo, think about us…”

Fu Junhang was still persuading him not to be rash while Lu Xining, instead of trying to talk Jing Zheng down, walked directly past Fu Junhang and sat down not far from Jing Zheng on the edge of the rooftop, then began to catch her breath after climbing the stairs.

The wind on the rooftop was strong, blowing her hair into disarray.

Between the urgent voices of Fu Junhang and Haozi, Lu Xining’s gaze was fixed on Jing Zheng, her amber-colored eyes like two gemstones set between her pupils.

“You want to jump, right? Come on, let’s jump together.”

“Nuonuo went back to Jingzhou with her dad, and given the Ji Family’s wealth, she won’t worry about food and clothes in the future. Besides, she’s young; without her mom and uncle, she’ll just cry for ten or fifteen days. By jumping together, we can even save some funeral expenses.”

“Jump then, you jump, I jump, tomorrow we can have Nuonuo come back to eat tofu rice.”

The people present couldn’t help but twitch their mouths upon hearing her words.

Not to mention Jing Zheng.

Even Fu Junhang and Haozi hadn’t expected her to do something like this.

The key was that Lu Xining not only talked the talk, but she also walked the walk.

After speaking, she moved a bit more toward the edge of the rooftop, striking terror into the hearts of those watching.

This was a building of over ten stories high!

Even if her intention was to stop Jing Zheng in this manner, what if something happened?

If she didn’t sit steadily, she could really fall!

Fu Junhang and Haozi exchanged glances.

The former was concerned about Jing Zheng, while the latter looked at Lu Xining.

“Sister Ning, don’t be impulsive. Jing Zheng definitely cares about Nuonuo. The child has been attached to him since she was young; if she knows her uncle is gone, who knows what she might do?”

Fu Junhang glanced at Jing Zheng, signaling him to come down quickly.

Haozi followed with his own persuasion.

But Jing Zheng, not sure if his brain wasn’t working or if he hadn’t thought it through, simply didn’t move an inch.

The two men looked at each other.

And suddenly, they too walked to the edge of the rooftop and sat down.

It was as if they were giving up in despair.

Fu Junhang: “Forget it, we can’t convince you two, guess Nuonuo will have to lose two uncles.”

Haozi chimed in, “This will let the child eat tofu rice for a few more days, grow up a bit.”

Lu Nuonuo: “??? What, are you all ganging up on me, a child?”

Seeing the actions of Fu Junhang and Haozi, not just Jing Zheng, but also Lu Xining was startled momentarily.

At that moment, the sky had not yet fully brightened.

Above the rooftop, apart from the sound of the wind, what flowed was Jing Zheng’s speechlessness.

“Are you all done yet?”

“Who said I came here to seek death? I just came to look at the traces of my past experiences and incidentally watch the sunrise here. You’ve all made me unable to react,” he said.

The three of them gave him a ‘do you think we believe you’ look and continued to sit on the edge without budging.

Left with no choice, Jing Zheng was the first to rise from the edge of the rooftop, but due to the unsober state, his step faltered slightly.

The hearts of the three of them jolted, and Fu Junhang immediately lunged over, rolling with him towards the inside of the rooftop, scraping his elbow without care, fiercely restraining Jing Zheng from moving.

“Cough cough cough, let go!”

Jing Zheng, tightly embraced by Fu Junhang, rolled on the ground several times and was nearly choked to death.

Haozi hurriedly stood up, strode over, and pulled Lu Xining up, his heart nearly stopping looking at the tiny spot where she had just been sitting.

Lu Xining quickly walked up to Jing Zheng, all her emotions coming to her mouth but then held back.

After all, his condition just now didn’t seem too good.

Seeing his face flushed with suffocation, she noted he seemed more lively.

When she approached, Fu Junhang released his firm grip on Jing Zheng’s hand and stood up to block between him and the edge of the rooftop, his gaze constantly guarding against any sudden moves he might make.

Lu Xining dragged Jing Zheng’s hand towards the stairs down the rooftop.

Fu Junhang and Haozi followed closely behind, making sure to close the rooftop door on their way out.

It wasn’t until they reached the first floor that Lu Xining let go of his wrist and flicked his forehead, not too hard.

“Lu Jingzheng, you’ve really outdone yourself this time!”

He rubbed his flicked forehead, crying out in exaggerated pain that made it seem more painful than it was.

But Lu Xining’s expression did not ease one bit.

Her heart was still pounding wildly, unable to recover from the earlier sight of him sitting on the rooftop’s edge.

Jing Zheng hastily explained, “Sister, I wasn’t thinking of anything dark, I was just here to watch the sunrise.”

Fu Junhang snorted coldly, irritated, “Watch the sunrise while sitting on the edge? There’s so much space on the rooftop, did it obstruct Dr. Jing’s view with those two holes in his head?”

The moment he opened the door, he saw Jing Zheng already leaning forward, ready to tip over.

If he hadn’t arrived a few minutes earlier, by now he might have taken a free fall.

Jing Zheng: “…”

Hearing Fu Junhang’s words, Lu Xining raised her hand and swung it out.

“Don’t hit the face, Sister, this is going overboard!”

“I’m an adult, you can’t just beat me up in front of them, what about my dignity?”

“Sister, go easy, it hurts–”

But Lu Xining was in no mood to listen at this point.

Watching Jing Zheng scurry about holding his head, she felt like an elder dealing with a disobedient child at home.

Fu Junhang and Haozi stood by, watching the spectacle and occasionally commenting, saying she wasn’t hitting Jing Zheng as hard as before, it seemed she had softened up.

“Sister Ning, that wasn’t much force, how about we go back for breakfast and then continue? If it’s really not satisfying, I can find you a stick to save your hands from hurting.”

Jing Zheng was outraged, “Could you two say less!”

He spoke while sidestepping to dodge Lu Xining’s incoming kick, escaping to one side.

Fu Junhang glanced at him dismissively, “I, for one, will speak up!”

“Fine, fine, just you wait!”

He hadn’t finished speaking when Lu Xining swung her leg at him again.

Jing Zheng quickly begged for mercy, “Ouch, Sister, my dearest sister, I really wasn’t thinking of anything bad, I’m just here for a look, please stop hitting me, I still have to video call Nuonuo later.”

A gust of wind blew past, ruffling her messy hair.

Lu Xining snorted and continued, “Forget the video call, it’s good for her to get used to Uncle not being around earlier, rather than being too late to even cry.”

Jing Zheng: “???”

Right at this moment, the sunrise began to rise, the warm sunlight spreading across the land and shining on Lu Xining and Jing Zheng.

About fifteen minutes later, Jing Zheng, with his bruised face, sat vulnerably and innocently in the back seat.

Fu Junhang drove with a cold expression, occasionally glancing at the back seat through the rearview mirror.

Haozi sat in the passenger seat, manipulating a portable computer with data constantly flashing and changing, dizzying to look at.

Lu Xining sat in the back seat with her eyes closed, resting.

Jing Zheng knew he had truly scared Lu Xining and the others, and alongside his apologies, his heart was full of gratitude and warmth.

He tugged at her sleeve and sighed, “Sister, pay a little attention to me…”

The sleeve was pulled back by Lu Xining, and she still didn’t respond to him.

Jing Zheng: “…”

They rounded the last bend and were about to return to the resort.

Inside the quiet car, Lu Xining still sat with her eyes closed, her voice as light as a feather.

“If he doesn’t die, and you can’t find peace, then we’ll just have to make him fall.”

“What?” Jing Zheng was stunned.
