"… Dad."
Xin Yu bit her lip. She thought that since she had already brought up such a difficult topic, even if she couldn't talk about the divorce, she had to talk about their wedding anniversary.
Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Lu Shiyun. Lu Shiyun covered his mouth and coughed violently. His face wasn't very red to begin with, but because of his anger, he looked even paler. Even his words were weak. "… Don't say anymore! Xinyu, Papa has always liked you and supported you a lot. That brat Yihan, if there's anything wrong with him, you can tell me. If he has other women outside, you can also tell me. Papa will help you settle it. " But … don't talk about divorce to me again. You're stabbing me in the heart with a knife, do you know that? Cough, cough, cough … Don't say anymore, Xin Yu. Don't make Dad sad again. You want to divorce Yihan, but I can't, unless … I'm dead! "
"Dad!"
Xin Yu was so frightened that her heart clenched. She felt very guilty. Lu Shiyun's face was pale as he said, "Unless you're dead," to her. She knelt down again with a thud. Tears fell from her eyes. She shook her head and choked with sobs. "… I'm sorry, Dad. I didn't … I really didn't mean that. I just feel … sorry … I won't say it again. I really won't say it again. I'm sorry, Dad …"
"Child, get up."
Lu Shiyun walked over and pulled Xin Yu up from the ground with trembling hands. His slightly cloudy eyes had a sharp light hidden underneath. "Tell Dad honestly. Have you fallen for another man?"
"…"
Xin Yu's face turned pale and she froze completely.
Had she fallen for another man?
Could it be that her performance was really that obvious?
Or … had Lu Shiyun already suspected her and Qin Fangang?
…
She wasn't a good liar. To be honest, she didn't feel sorry for Lu Yihan regarding the matter between her and Qin Fangang. When she faced him, she didn't feel uncomfortable because he was someone who didn't care from the beginning to the end. However, Lu Shiyun was different.
He was Qin Fangang's biological father, as well as his father-in-law. He had taken care of him for five years. He had taken care of his father, who had gone crazy, for five years. He had given him a new life …
Everything she had now was given to her by him. Even if the person she was attracted to wasn't Qin Fangang, but any other man who wasn't related to the Lu family, she would still feel guilty, let alone Qin Fangang.
But no matter how flustered she was, Xinyu still knew that she could not express it too obviously. Even if she was the most sorry, there was still a voice in the depths of her heart that kept telling her — — Don't admit it, absolutely don't admit it!
It was probably true. Every man for himself, and the devil takes the hindmost!
Everyone was selfish. She felt sorry for Lu Shiyun, but she wouldn't admit her feelings at a time like this.
Xin Yu secretly took a deep breath. She subconsciously clenched her fists by her sides. When she opened her mouth to speak, she tried her best to control the speed of her words. "… Dad, why are you asking me this? Of course I didn't."
Lu Shiyun's eyes flickered. It was so fast that the flustered Xin Yu didn't notice anything. She quickly heard him say, "Dad didn't mean anything by it. I'm just curious. For the past five years, you've never had the thought of getting a divorce. Why did it suddenly become so strong? Xin Yu, it's not like Dad doesn't know about the things between you young people. I was young once too, so if you really … did, you can tell me. It's not like I don't understand. After all, Yihan did let you down these past few years. "
Xin Yu pursed her lips and shook her head stubbornly. "Dad, I really didn't."
"You really didn't?"
Lu Shiyun's deep gaze was obviously probing. He obviously didn't believe her, but the words that came out of his mouth were somewhat comforting and considerate. "Xin Yu, Dad didn't mean to blame you. You've been in England for five years. Maybe you've become more open-minded …"
"Dad, I really didn't."
Xin Yu kept shaking her head. There was only one thought in her mind, and that was to never admit it. Probably because she had said too much, the words "I didn't" came out of her mouth. It didn't seem as difficult as the first time.
"Really, Dad, I didn't. I wouldn't do that …" She felt guilty. It seemed like she was making a solemn vow, but only she knew that she was lying through her teeth.
"If you didn't … that's good."
Xin Yu still refused to reveal anything. Lu Shiyun trusted her character. After all, this girl had been under his control for the past five years. If anything happened, she would tell him immediately. Previously, he had suspected that there was something going on between her and Qin Fangang. He had sent people to England to investigate, but to no avail. He had also tried both hard and soft methods on her. Although her expression revealed a bit of nervousness, this kind of nervousness could not be determined. She was guilty, perhaps she was really just nervous …
In Lu Shiyun's heart, he still subconsciously hoped that the relationship between Xin Yu and Qin Fangang was just him overthinking.
Qin Fangang and Lu Yihan were both his sons. However, he wholeheartedly wanted to cultivate Lu Yihan. For no other reason than that, to Lu Shiyun, Qin Fangang was an element that he couldn't control.
This son of his was too scheming. Since he couldn't control him, he could only let him be.
His Lu Clan couldn't change its name!
"Xin Yu, don't be nervous. Dad didn't mean anything by asking you this. I just wanted to tell you that if you really have a man you like outside and that man can give you happiness, then I will seriously consider it."
Lu Shiyun collected his thoughts. When dealing with a girl like Xin Yu, he knew all too well which were her fatal weaknesses. As long as he put in a little more effort, she wouldn't be able to escape from his grasp.
"… The Lu Family's reputation is indeed more important to me than my life. However, I also treat you like my own daughter. So, I feel that your happiness is the most important thing to me. Dad can take a step back, but Xin Yu, you have to work hard for Dad's sake, okay? "
"…"
"Get along well with Yihan. Although that child is a little unruly, I can tell that he is slowly falling in love with you. If you don't have anyone in your heart, then get along well with him. Dad believes that you two will definitely fall in love with each other."
…
When Mu Chenchu came out of the private room, her slender eyebrows were slightly furrowed. She held a cell phone in her left hand and looked around. Then, she ran to the washroom. After making sure that there was no one inside, she stood at the door and called Xin Yu.
The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered. She didn't know what Xin Yu was doing. But when she thought about how Lu Yiting was so brazenly sticking to Qin Fangang at the dining table, she couldn't help but click on the photo that she had secretly taken.
In the photo, Lu Yiting was holding Qin Fangang's arm with one hand and holding a wine glass with the other. She was smiling sweetly. Qin Fangang, on the other hand, allowed her to hold his arm. His exquisite features were expressionless. He was neither happy nor angry, but he didn't push Lu Yiting away.
There were a few more photos, but most of them were of Lu Yiting taking the initiative to get close to Qin Fangang. Wasn't this woman Qin Fangang's half-sister? Why was she looking at Qin Fangang with such a strange gaze?
Mu Chenchu couldn't help but secretly take a few photos. Some were of the two of them talking with their heads lowered. Some were of Lu Yiting personally picking food for Qin Fangang. Some were of Lu Yiting acting coquettishly and asking Qin Fangang to drink for her.
…
She didn't know why she took these photos. It was probably subconsciously.
Perhaps she really couldn't stand those photos.
Actually, taking a step back, Lu Yiting was Qin Fangang's sister. It was understandable for a sister to stick to her brother. However, Mu Chenchu still had doubts in her heart. This Lu Yiting had always been arrogant. Moreover, she had heard from Xin Yu that Lu Yihan's attitude towards Qin Fangang when he suddenly returned to the Lu family. This Lu Yiting didn't seem to be very friendly towards this "big brother" who suddenly appeared. How long had it been? Why did she suddenly become so intimate with him?
Moreover … didn't they say that Xin Yu was coming over today? Why did it become this unrelated Lu Yiting?
…
Mu Chenchu frowned. Her fingers kept swiping on her phone screen. After thinking about it, she still felt that such photos couldn't be sent to Xin Yu.
If she really felt that there was something wrong with this Lu Yiting, she only needed to remind Xin Yu a little when the time came. If she specially showed such photos to her, it would make it seem like she was trying to sow discord. At this thought, Mu Chenchu quickly deleted the photos.
She took a total of ten photos. After deleting about seven to eight, she suddenly felt someone patting her shoulder. A deep male voice sounded behind her, carrying a hint of alcohol. "… What are you doing here?"
Mu Chenchu was shocked. Her hand paused and she quickly put her phone behind her. She turned around and saw Su Junyan looking at her with a frown.
"Do I need to report to you what I'm doing? Young Master Su, do you want to follow me to the washroom? "
Su Junyan narrowed his eyes. His slender body wantonly approached Mu Chenchu. Suddenly, his thin lips twitched and he chuckled devilishly. "Didn't I follow you here?"
Mu Chenchu: "…"
"What were you doing sneaking around here just now? What are you hiding behind your back? Your phone, hm? Take it out and let me see. Who are you calling? "
Mu Chenchu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Su Junyan shouldn't be drunk, but she felt that this man was a little abnormal recently. Not only did he always appear around her, but he also touched her from time to time. What exactly was he up to?
