Chapter 99 : Father Lu is anxious

Mu Qianqian thought that Lu Yunbei was protecting her because her face resembled his sister’s so closely.

The manager issued a command, “Wang Yanru, stop making excuses. The evidence is enough to get you jailed. Being fired is already a generous leniency.”

Wang Yanru was extremely reluctant.

She had worked hard to get into Yun Cheng Hotel just to climb the social ladder and marry into a wealthy family.

If she got fired, all her efforts would be for nothing!

“Yanru, don’t you have a good relationship with Young Master Ye? Try asking him for help, maybe you won’t be kicked out after all.”

Upon hearing this advice, Wang Yanru’s hope was rekindled.

Young Master Ye was known for his gentle and refined demeanor,he wouldn’t just stand by!

Moreover, they had a connection over that coat…

Wang Yanru inquired with the doorman and found Ye Xuanlin.

“Young Master Ye, I’ve been falsely accused. Please help clear my name.”

She cried with tear-streaked cheeks and a trembling chest.

This was Wang Yanru’s most prized asset, and she was confident it could make any man obsessed with her.

Ye Xuanlin looked at her face and asked his assistant, “Who is she?”

The assistant was used to his employer’s mild face blindness and only remembering important people.

For those he wasn’t interested in, he wouldn’t remember their faces even after seeing them a hundred times.

“Master, this is Wang Yanru. Earlier, her clothes were soaked with wine, and you gave her a coat. Later in the pavilion, she said…”

The assistant explained.

Ye Xuanlin finally recalled a bit.

“You say you’re being falsely accused?”

“Yes,” Wang Yanru said pitifully, “They’re accusing me of plotting against Mu Qianqian, but I only meant to play a prank on her. Who knew she’d overreact so dramatically?”

“Her companion also seems to be entangled with her…”

Wang Yanru continued her self-serving performance.

She didn’t notice that when she mentioned Mu Qianqian’s name, Young Master Ye’s expression grew darker.

Wang Yanru had really hit a nerve this time.

“Plotting against Mu Qianqian?” Ye Xuanlin’s gaze was inscrutable.

“That’s not true! I just wanted to make her look foolish, not harm her. She’s the one making a big deal out of it,” Wang Yanru insisted.

Ye Xuanlin clearly did not believe her words.

He lightly tapped the table twice and sent his assistant to investigate.

Soon, the assistant returned and whispered something in his ear.

Ye Xuanlin gripped his cup tightly, nearly crushing it.

“Are you still here, waiting for me to call the police?”

Wang Yanru was suddenly startled, “I, I didn’t… I’m being framed.”

“Your little tricks might deceive others, but not me.”

Ye Xuanlin coldly said, “Get out.”

Bodyguards stepped forward, one on each side, and escorted Wang Yanru out.

Her last shred of hope was shattered.

Wang Yanru went berserk, shouting loudly:

“You think Mu Qianqian is as innocent as she seems? I’ll tell you, she’s not a good person either!”

“I saw her myself, getting into a black luxury car! A woman leaving in a luxury car at night, you know what that means, right?”

“She not only has you wrapped around her finger, but she also has other men behind your back! She’s just a piece of trash, a used commodity!”

Ye Xuanlin, enraged, crushed his cup.

The shards and tea scattered across the floor.

“Shut her up.”

“Yes, sir!”

And so, Wang Yanru was dragged out like a dead dog and thrown outside the hotel.

She lay face down on the ground, her once-proud figure flattened.

……

“Thank you for helping me, Young Master Lu,” Mu Qianqian said gratefully.

This time, she was truly relieved that Lu Yunbei had helped her, otherwise, she might have really fallen into Wang Yanru’s trap.

After all, who could have imagined Wang Yanru would be so deranged?

Lu Yunbei looked at her gently, “There’s no need to thank me. Qianqian, may I… have your contact information? If you need anything in the future, you can always reach out to me.”

“Sure.”

Mu Qianqian gave him her number.

“Thank you so much for your help this time. If there’s another opportunity, I’d like to invite you and Wanqing to dinner.”

“There’s no need for a dinner. If you want to thank me, just call me ‘brother’.”

Lu Yunbei’s eyes were full of anticipation.

Being stared at so intently made Mu Qianqian feel a bit shy.

However, the warmth Lu Yunbei brought was akin to that of family, so calling him “brother” didn’t feel too difficult.

Mu Qianqian bit her lip and timidly said, “Brother.”

Lu Yunbei’s gaze was fixed on her, his eyes gradually turning red.

He quickly blinked, looking up, afraid the tears might fall.

This was his sister, lost for fifteen years!

At this moment, Lu Yunbei wanted nothing more than to hold his sister in his arms and express all the pain of their years apart.

But he couldn’t be too hasty, as he didn’t want to scare her.

“I’ll take you back. Given what happened today, you probably don’t feel like working anymore.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Lu Yunbei accompanied Mu Qianqian to the Mingyuan residential complex.

“Qianqian, you live here?” Lu Yunbei asked.

“Yes, I live here with… a friend.”

Lu Yunbei felt a pang in his heart.

Something didn’t add up. Wasn’t Qianqian’s family supposed to live in the county town?

Even if it was inconvenient to go home, she should be living at school, not outside of it.

Could it be… she has a boyfriend?

The thought made Lu Yunbei almost lose his composure.

They had finally found Yaoyao and hadn’t even had the chance to properly cherish and make up for the years lost.

And now she had been deceived by some wild man!

No, Yaoyao is too young and doesn’t understand men’s intentions. It’s very easy for her to get hurt!

Lu Yunbei nearly couldn’t resist rushing into the residential complex to drag that “wild man” out and give him a beating.

“Thank you for bringing me back, Young Master Lu. I’ll go upstairs now.”

Lu Yunbei forced a smile, “Alright.”

As soon as Mu Qianqian entered the complex, Lu Yunbei immediately called his father.

“Dad, it seems like Yaoyao has a boyfriend.”

Lu Feng, who was in a meeting with shareholders, almost blacked out at the news.

“How do you know? Who is her boyfriend? Has he mistreated her?”

Lu Yunbei quickly moved the phone away from his ear.

He nearly got his eardrum blasted by his father’s yelling.

“Dad, please don’t get worked up. Listen to me…”

“How can I not get worked up? If I find out who this jerk is, I’ll make sure he pays!”

Lu Feng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

His precious daughter hadn’t even been properly warmed in his hands before someone else snatched her away. Who wouldn’t be anxious?

The secretary quickly stepped forward to advise, “Mr. Lu, please calm down. Take care of your health, your health is important.”

“Dad, the situation isn’t confirmed yet. Give me a few more days to investigate, and I’ll update you once I have more information.”

“Alright, let’s hope it’s not true.”

Lu Feng felt somewhat relieved.

If that guy mistreats Yaoyao, no matter how much they might love each other, Lu Feng could never allow his daughter to be with him!
