"What's so good about him? What can he do for you? Now that something like this has happened, isn't he just as cowardly? For a woman like you to stand up for him … Leng Xinyu, I won't pursue the situation between you and him anymore. But I want to tell you, don't be naive. A man like him would never treat you with sincerity. Do you know that? Why did he choose you of all people? Do you really think that someone like him would take the risk for a woman like you? "
Lu Yihan scoffed and said mercilessly, "… He only fancied your status. From the start, he was using you to take revenge on the Lu family, on me, and on the old man at home. Otherwise, why do you think he would fancy you?"
Xin Yu shook her head and retorted through gritted teeth, "Lu Yihan, you're spouting nonsense!"
"I'm spouting nonsense? Ha, you're really obsessed. Why don't you think about it? If someone really had such evidence, why did he have to alter his voice? Do you think that someone who wants to take revenge on you would care about him alone? Why don't you think about it? Maybe Qin Fangang was the one who planned all this? Otherwise, why isn't he by your side at this time? "
"…"
"I won't believe your nonsense. Lu Yihan, you —"
Xin Yu held her breath. Before she could finish speaking, there was a sudden thud outside the bedroom. Her expression changed abruptly, and she instinctively looked at Lu Yihan. Lu Yihan's expression also froze. He quickly turned around and walked to the bedroom door. When he opened the door, he saw someone standing outside.
"… Bro, bro …"
Lu Yiting looked as if she had seen a ghost. She was wearing home clothes, and the makeup on her face had been washed off, which made her face look even paler. Her hands were behind her back, and her tightly pursed lips were a little pale. There was still some disbelief in the depths of her eyes.
"What are you doing at the door?"
Lu Yihan's complexion was very bad, and his entire being was shrouded in a layer of haze. His sharp gaze went straight to the hand that Lu Yiting was hiding behind her back. His thick brows furrowed, and he pointed at her hand and questioned, "What are you hiding? You eavesdropped on us? Tingting, who allowed you to eavesdrop on our conversation? Take out the thing on your back! "
"… Brother, I … I didn't do it on purpose, I …"
Lu Yiting was probably scared out of her wits. But now, Lu Yihan's expression was so dark that it made her tremble with fear. She shook her head and retreated step by step. "… I'm not hiding anything. I really am not. Brother, I didn't do it on purpose. I really didn't hear anything. I … I was just passing by …"
"Your room is on the third floor."
Lu Yihan was too lazy to talk nonsense with her. He stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and pulled hard. He found that there was a phone hidden in her palm. Lu Yihan pressed the home button with his thumb. The phone lit up with a notification that it was recording.
"…"
"You're recording our conversation?"
Lu Yihan's eyes flashed with rage. Lu Yiting shrunk her neck in fear. "… I-I didn't do it on purpose …"
Lu Yihan raised his hand and threw the phone against the wall. The phone fell to the floor with a bang and broke into pieces. The battery fell out as well. Lu Yiting was frightened by her brother's reaction. Of course, she was more surprised by the conversation she had just overheard.
"… Why don't you think about it? If someone really had such evidence, why would his voice be altered? Do you think that someone who wanted to take revenge on you would care about him alone? Why don't you think about it? Maybe Qin Fangang was the one who planned this? Otherwise, why wouldn't he be by your side at this time? "
…
Qin Fangang, how could it be Qin Fangang?
That … the man who had an affair with Leng Xinyu, the man who slept with Leng Xinyu, how could it be Qin Fangang?
…
"Go back to your own room right now!"
Lu Yihan had a headache, but he didn't know that his sister also had improper thoughts about Qin Fangang. In Lu Yihan's mind, although Lu Yiting was a little willful and domineering, she wasn't a bad person. She usually listened to him. He knew that she must have heard some of the conversation between him and Xin Yu. It was impossible to erase her memory now, so he could only settle for the next best thing. "Tingting, listen. No matter what you just heard, you have to remember it now. Whatever you heard, you have to forget it! If you leak even half a sentence, you know the severity of it, okay? "
"…"
"You can't leak even half a sentence, do you understand? You absolutely can't tell Mom, especially the old man, do you understand? "
"…" Lu Yihan's face was pale. He pursed his lips and didn't say a word.
Lu Yihan was impatient. He growled again, "Did you hear me?!"
Lu Yiting's eyes reddened, and she looked like she was about to cry. Lu Yihan thought that she must have been frightened by him. He frowned and was about to say something when Lu Yiting stomped her foot, turned around, and ran to the staircase.
"…"
Lu Yihan wasn't too worried that Lu Yiting would spout nonsense, but he thought that he should look for her again after this. Just as he turned around, he saw that Xin Yu was already standing at the entrance. He muttered to himself for a moment before saying, "… Yiting, she —"
"I heard everything."
Xin Yu was exceptionally calm. She took a deep breath and looked at Lu Yihan. "Since we can't come to an agreement, I want to look for Dad myself. I'll talk things out with him. No matter what you think, I'm sticking to my own beliefs for now."
She walked to the door and thought for a moment. Then she turned sideways and said to Lu Yihan, "… Also, what I told you before, that I have something that will harm you, I'm telling the truth. Lu Yihan, it's best if we part on good terms. I don't want to fall out with you when the time comes. I don't want that to happen. "
Lu Yihan looked at her resolute gaze and suddenly felt a little lost. He felt even more defeated. What exactly did he miss?
Could it be that the softest part of her heart was filled with Qin Fangang?
Was everything that he, Lu Yihan, could touch cold-blooded and hard?
Seeing that she was about to turn around and leave, he couldn't hold himself back. He reached out and pressed on her shoulder. Then he said those words that made him feel ashamed, but he couldn't control himself. "… I like you. Can't you give me a chance?"
Xin Yu's entire body trembled. She looked at the silent man in front of her in shock.
His calm gaze was telling her that he wasn't joking about what he had just said.
…
When Xin Yu came down from the second floor, she was in a daze. As she passed by the staircase, she happened to bump into the housekeeper who had been taking care of Lu Shiyun. Xin Yu paused in her steps. Perhaps it was because she felt guilty towards the people around Lu Shiyun. She instinctively lowered her gaze.
The housekeeper looked calm and was still very respectful towards her. "Young Mistress, Old Master is probably tired today. He took his medicine and went to bed early. He specially asked me to tell you to look for him tomorrow afternoon. Old Master's health has been affected because of these troubling matters for the past two days, so he has to go to the hospital tomorrow."
"…"
Xin Yu's heart shrank. The feeling of guilt almost drowned her.
The housekeeper nodded and turned to leave. Xin Yu hurriedly called out to him. After a pause, she said softly, "… Housekeeper, please tell Dad … I'm really sorry, but my friend is still waiting for me outside. I want to go out … for a while. I'll definitely come back tomorrow to look for him."
The housekeeper didn't seem surprised. "There's indeed a car at the entrance. Old Master knows about it too. Young Mistress, please go ahead. Old Master isn't an unreasonable person, but remember to come back early tomorrow. Also … it's not too peaceful outside. Young Mistress shouldn't stay outside for too long."
Xin Yu nodded and looked at the housekeeper gratefully. The housekeeper quickly went upstairs.
Xin Yu sighed softly and walked to the door. The broken vase had already been cleaned up by the servants. The bloodstains on the floor had also been wiped clean …
She reached out her uninjured hand and pressed on her throbbing temples. Finally, she dragged her exhausted body out of the main entrance of the Lu residence.
…
Upstairs in the study room.
The housekeeper pushed the door open and entered the study room. He gently closed the door and nodded to the old man who had his back facing the door. "… Old Master, according to your instructions, Young Mistress should have left with Mu Chenchu now."
Lu Shiyun, who was sitting in his office chair, grunted in acknowledgment. "Where's Yihan?"
"Young Master should be in his room. The two of them talked for quite some time, but they didn't quarrel."
Lu Shiyun coughed softly and the housekeeper immediately came forward. "Old Master, you must be tired. Shall I help you to rest?"
"It's okay, you can leave first. Send someone to follow Xin Yu secretly for the next few days. Inform me of any movements. I'll sit here alone for a while." He paused and suddenly asked, "Where's Li Muhua?"
"… Young Mistress seems to have left just now."
Lu Shiyun snorted coldly and didn't say anything. He waved his hand, indicating that the housekeeper could leave.
…
After the door to the study room was closed, Lu Shiyun turned his office chair and reached out to open the left drawer of the desk. He took out a small black object and pinched it between his fingers. After a while, his eyes darkened and revealed a hint of viciousness. After a while, he put the object back to its original position. Then he got up, shook his collar and walked out of the study room with the help of his walking stick.
Xin Yu walked out of the iron gates of the Lu residence and saw that Mu Chenchu's car was still parked at the entrance. She walked over and Mu Chenchu hurriedly got out of the car.
Her clothes were stained with blood and her hands were bandaged like dumplings. Mu Chenchu saw it easily and turned pale with fright. "What happened? Did they hit you? "
She was furious. She pointed at the iron gates of the Lu residence and scolded, "I saw Lu Yihan's car go in just now. Did he hit you? This bastard, is he even a man? He actually hit you … "
"Chenchen."
Xin Yu quickly pulled her to the car and shook her head. "He didn't hit me. Don't spout nonsense. There are many people here and the Lu family can hear you. You're still working for the Lu Clan, so don't spout nonsense. Let's get in the car first."
