"Follow Lu Yihan well. I'll leave you with your last shred of dignity."
"I'm only going to say this to you once. You better remember it. If you don't, I'll find a way to help you remember it. In the future, don't provoke Xin Yu. She's not someone you can afford to provoke."
When Lan Ruoran walked out of the hotel, it was only three in the afternoon. It had been more than an hour since she met Qin Fangang. The sun was shining brightly at this moment, but she felt a chill in her bones.
Her fingers tightly gripped the strap of her bag. When she bent down to get into the car, she realized that her hands were trembling.
"Don't think that I don't know what you did in England back then, including the fact that you tormented me for so long. Who do you think is the more ridiculous one?"
"Follow Lu Yihan well. I'll leave you with your last shred of dignity."
"In the future, don't provoke Xin Yu. She's not someone you can afford to provoke …"
… What's so good about her? Why is it that everything I want is always so easy for her? Why?
Lan Ruoran's exquisitely made-up face was full of unwillingness and jealousy. She couldn't help but resent her. Her heart felt like it was stained with poison. Why?
On what grounds was this?!
She clenched her fists so hard that they turned white. She gripped the steering wheel tightly. She glared at the windshield. Deep in her big eyes, there was a glimmer of calculation.
Don't be so smug! Don't think that I can't do anything to you just because you have Qin Fangang to protect you. Just you wait. I'll definitely make you … die a horrible death!
…
"… Achoo!"
Xin Yu raised her head and sneezed. She reached out to rub her nose and squinted at the bright sun outside the window. She frowned. The weather was so good, but she had to stay here and watch this boring soap opera. She really wanted to go out.
But when she looked at the time, it was already past 3 o 'clock. She had been here doing nothing all day and really had nothing to do. She had also walked around the entire duplex apartment. She called Mu Chenchu, but no one answered. After flipping through books for a few hours and watching a TV series for a while, she finally waited until Aunt Bao came over.
"Lady Lu."
Auntie Bao greeted her politely. She carried a suitcase and pointed to a small room on the side. She smiled and said, "I'll be sleeping in this room. If you need anything in the future, you can let me know."
Xin Yu heard her call her "Lady Lu," but she was also staying at Qin Fangang's place and had to wait on her. She felt uncomfortable all over and quickly waved her hand. "Auntie, you don't have to be so polite. You can just call me Xin Yu."
"Lady Lu, you still have to abide by the rules," Auntie Bao said seriously.
Auntie Bao said seriously, "Actually, Young Master is also a child of the Lu Family. Although he has followed Madam's surname since he was young, now that he has recognized his ancestors, he can be considered as a family. Although I haven't served anyone in the Lu family, I took care of Young Master Fan Gang when he was young. Now that he is also a member of the Lu family, Lady Lu, you are naturally someone I should take care of. "
Xin Yu's face froze, and she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
It was obvious that this Auntie Bao had a close relationship with Qin Fangang. Now that she heard her say that, Xin Yu was even more certain that this Auntie was the type who had watched Qin Fangang grow up. She also mentioned "Madam" just now. She was probably Qin Fangang's mother, right?
These people who stood beside Qin Fangang, regardless of their status, would always beat around the bush to remind her when they saw her — Lady Lu, this is your identity as Leng Xinyu. As for Qin Fangang, he is the illegitimate son of the Qin Family, but he is also considered the eldest son. Now that he has acknowledged his ancestors, he is still your big brother …
Xin Yu's heart instantly sank to the bottom of the valley.
"… Master Lu, that child, I have seen him a few times when he was young. That child doesn't have a good temper, right?"
As Auntie Bao packed her things, she casually chatted with Xin Yu. When she talked about Lu Yihan, she spoke in a familiar tone. "Sigh, an old woman like me often sees him in the newspapers and magazines. Child, you have suffered."
"…"
Xin Yu didn't know what to say. She stood stiffly on the spot with an awkward and uneasy look on her face.
In fact, between Auntie Bao's words, there wasn't a single word that wasn't reminding her of her identity, Qin Fangang's identity, Lu Yihan's identity, and — — the Lu Family's identity.
She resisted the urge to sigh. Once again, she felt that it was really inconvenient for her to live here.
Fortunately, her phone rang at this moment. Xin Yu used the time to answer the phone to say goodbye to Auntie Bao and walked out of the balcony. Auntie Bao watched as Xin Yu's petite figure hurriedly ran out. Her eyes were filled with worry.
This man and woman, such a small matter … How could she not see it when she was already so old?
Young Master Fan Gang treated Leng Xinyu very differently. That deep gaze at the breakfast table was clearly filled with affection. She didn't dare to ask Qin Fangang in private. Of course, Qin Fangang said a few words to her. He only told her that Leng Xinyu had encountered some problems at the Lu Family and needed to stay here for two days. However, he was busy with work, so he asked her to help take care of her.
It sounded like an elder brother showing appropriate concern to his sister-in-law. However, anyone could tell that the gaze he used to look at Leng Xinyu was the gaze a man should have for a woman.
But this woman was the daughter-in-law of the Lu Family!
…
Xin Yu held her phone and walked to the balcony. She gently exhaled before answering the call.
It was an unfamiliar number. She politely said, "Hello, may I know who you're looking for?"
The person on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment before answering hesitantly, "… Yes, Leng Xinyu?"
"Yes, I am. May I know who you are …"
"Xin Yu, I'm Uncle Ming Ye!" The middle-aged man on the other end of the phone sounded excited.
Xin Yu was startled, she was in a trance for a moment. The man probably thought that she didn't remember, so he hurriedly said, "… You don't remember? Uncle Ming Ye, your father's best friend. The Uncle Ming Ye that you used to always hug my thigh and ask me to buy you chocolates. "
Actually, it had been many years since the Leng Family's accident. After Xin Yu married Lu Yihan, she quickly went to England. In the past five years, she had returned to City D, but she didn't interact with anyone. At most, she would go to the hospital to visit her father. She really didn't interact with anyone related to the Leng Family back then.
Qi Mingye. She vaguely remembered that there was indeed such an Uncle Ming Ye back then. He was very kind to her and was her father's good friend. After so many years, she had almost forgotten that he hadn't come to look for her.
Xin Yu was also surprised. "… Uncle Ming Ye."
"You remember?"
Qi Mingye said happily on the other end of the phone, "Actually, Uncle Ming Ye has been in City A these few days. He knew that something happened to your family, but your father … I wanted to visit him, but the hospital didn't allow people like us to enter. They said that only close relatives could enter. Uncle Ming Ye knew that you married into the Lu Family and became their daughter-in-law. After that, you went to England, so he was relieved. Now that you're back, I contacted you. "
"Xin Yu, Uncle has been living in City A for the past few years, but recently, I have business dealings, so I happen to be in City D. Uncle wants to meet you. Can you … when and where? Let's meet? "
Xin Yu thought that she had indeed not seen this Uncle Ming Ye for too long. She more or less knew that he had taken the initiative to contact her. Something must have happened, but she couldn't refuse and say that she didn't want to meet, so she didn't think much and directly agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Xin Yu hadn't turned to walk into the living room when her phone rang again. She instinctively pressed the answer button, but her movements were too fast. When she reacted, she saw that the name on the screen was actually Lu Yihan.
The call went through, but she couldn't not listen. She frowned and reluctantly put the phone to her ear.
"Where are you?" On the other end, Lu Yihan's voice was steady and matter-of-fact, as though nothing had happened between the two of them. "I want to meet you. Come out now, or go back to the Lu Family residence. Or you can come to the office. You can meet outside too. Just name the place."
"…"
Xin Yu was a little speechless. So this was what it meant to be jackals of the same lair? Lu Yihan's tone reminded her of Lan Ruoran's domineering attitude when they met. These two were really — a match made in heaven!
"I don't really want to meet you. If you want to talk to me about the divorce, then we can talk over the phone. If it's anything else, then forget it. I'm not interested in knowing. "
Xin Yu's eyes were cold as she threw out these words stiffly. Just as she was about to hang up, Lu Yihan quickly interjected —
"Leng Xinyu, do you really want to divorce me that badly?"
Unlike any other time, Lu Yihan's voice didn't sound arrogant. His deep voice revealed a hint of depression. "Have you thought about what you'll have to bear alone after the divorce? Do you think that if you're not Lu Yihan's wife, that crazy father of yours can still stay in that hospital? "
"This is my own business. Since I want to divorce you, then I've thought about everything. I'll bear all the responsibility for my father's illness."
"You've thought about it? By thinking about it, you probably want to switch to relying on Qin Fangang, right? Do you think he'll help you unconditionally? "
At the mention of Qin Fangang, everyone had to mention Qin Fangang in front of her. Everyone had to tell her openly and covertly that there was something going on between her and Qin Fangang. That was intolerable …
Xin Yu's heart was in a mess. She reached out and pressed on her throbbing temples. Almost subconsciously, she blurted out, "I said, this is my own matter. Young Master Lu, you don't have to worry about me. Aren't you just afraid that there's something going on between me and Qin Fangang that will make you lose face? Don't worry, I won't have anything going on with him. I — "
