Chapter 137 : Leaving the Lu Family

When the banquet was coming to an end an uninvited guest arrived.

Gu Qingyu.

The Lu and Gu families had a strained relationship, exacerbated by previous disputes over a bidding competition. Consequently, the Gu family was not invited to this recognition banquet.

However, Gu Qingyu came on her own.

In front of so many people, she dared not directly confront Lu Yunyao.

Instead, she found Lu Yunxiang privately and, with a face full of jealousy, said, “I can’t believe that wretch is really your sister. Heaven really favors her. She’s so far beneath you, yet your parents protect her so much, buying her such expensive jewelry. I’ve never seen them treat you so well.”

Gu Qingyu had heard that Fu Sichan was present, so she hurried over, only to find that he had already left, and she hadn’t even had a chance to see him.

“My sister has suffered outside, so it’s only right that our parents compensate her,” Lu Yunxiang said, feigning generosity.

Even now, she still wanted to maintain her image of being kind and understanding.

“You’re just too soft-hearted, letting others walk all over you. Honestly, her high-profile return is a slap in your face. You should talk to your parents and warn them about this daughter they’ve taken in midway. They shouldn’t pour their hearts into her; it’s pointless.”

Gu Qingyu continued to badmouth Lu Yunyao.

Lu Yunxiang pretended to listen and then said, “Don’t be so upset. I actually have something I want to discuss with you.”

“What is it?”

“My parents have been worried about something lately. It seems my sister is already married.”

Gu Qingyu was shocked. “What? She’s already married?”

This wretched woman had been trying to seduce Sichan all along. When did she get married?

Gu Qingyu didn’t believe that Lu Yunyao deserved to marry Fu Sichan.

Not to mention that she is now the daughter of the Lu family, she was a poor girl before. Even if Sichan was fascinated by her and fell deeply in love with her before, Mrs. Fu would not agree to this marriage!

They are totally mismatched!

So, this bitch concealed her marital status and cheated on Sichan?

If Sichan knew about this, he would definitely kick this woman aside immediately.

“Yes, my brother saw it with his own eyes. She married an old, ugly man who seemed to be an ordinary office worker and didn’t seem to have any ability. But my sister is a love-brained person and loves her husband to death, so our family is very worried.”

Lu Yunxiang pretended to be doing it for Lu Yunyao’s good, but she secretly revealed her secret.

Given Gu Qingyu’s personality, she will definitely not let Lu Yunyao go and will definitely make a big fuss about this matter.

By then, her goal will be achieved.

This news made Gu Qingyu ecstatic!

An old and ugly man, it is even more impossible that he is Sichan!

This woman is actually married and she even dares to seduce Sichan. She must be tired of living!

“What a shameless slut! No, I must reveal her true face. I want everyone to see that this woman appears pure on the surface, but behind the scenes she is a slut who can sleep with anyone!”

When Gu Qingyu got angry, she wanted to announce the news in public regardless of the consequences.

Lu Yunxiang quickly pulled her back and said, “Hey, don’t make trouble for me. If you tell anyone now, won’t my parents suspect me?”

In her heart, she couldn’t help but curse Gu Qingyu over and over again.

What a stupid, crazy idiot! He almost got her into trouble.

Gu Qingyu was persuaded by her and calmed down and thought, yes, if she announced the news in public now, no one would believe it.

The most important thing is not other people’s opinions, but that Sichan knows about this matter!

“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to tell Sichan about this later. It will definitely make her realize her mistakes. By then, you won’t have to worry about her marriage.”

“Qingyu, please don’t tell anyone about what I said.”

“I’m not the type to betray my friends, don’t worry.”

Lu Yunxiang sighed in relief.

She hoped Gu Qingyu wouldn’t let her down this time.

……

After the party, the Lu family wanted to have Lu Yunyao stay overnight at their home.

Since they were her biological parents, and Lu Yunyao also wanted to bond with them, she agreed.

But unexpectedly, trouble arose in just one night!

The next morning, as soon as Lu Yunyao woke up, she called out, “Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang.”

“Where is Xiangxiang?”

The servants searched the house but couldn’t find it.

“Did it go to the garden to play? I’ll help you look for it.”

All the servants were mobilized, and eventually, they found the unconscious kitten in the garden.

“Xiangxiang! What happened? Is it okay?”

Lu Yunyao’s heart sank, nearly causing her to faint on the spot.

“Don’t worry, we’ll get it to the hospital right away.”

At the veterinary clinic, the doctor diagnosed it with food poisoning and administered an emetic to the kitten.

The Lu family’s expressions were all very serious.

Mrs. Lu supported Lu Yunyao and kept comforting her, “Don’t be afraid. I’ve already sent people to investigate. We’ll soon find out who’s behind this.”

Lu Yunyao thought about the gown incident and felt a shiver run down her spine.

Who could it be?

Which person in the Lu family has been targeting her?

What is that person’s goal?

Do they want to drive her out of the Lu family?

“It’s been found out that it was done by a servant. She said the leftover food was originally intended for stray cats and dogs, but Xiangxiang accidentally ate it. Unfortunately, its stomach was too delicate, leading to food poisoning.”

Soon, Lu Yunbai brought the news from the investigation.

“Where is that servant now?”

“She’s been dismissed. Don’t worry, we’ll be more thorough in our vetting process for future hires to ensure that careless people like her don’t slip through again.”

Just careless?

Lu Yunyao felt that all of this seemed like a conspiracy against her.

Just the thought of someone in the Lu family being kind to her on the surface while secretly wanting to harm her sent shivers down her spine.

After Xiangxiang was treated, Lu Yunyao held the kitten and said her goodbyes.

“Dad, Mom, Brother, I think I’ll go back to Mingyuan. I’m not used to staying here.”

“How could it be uncomfortable? Is there something wrong with the arrangements? Just let me know, and I’ll have someone fix it.”

Lu Yunyao shook her head, “No, it’s not that. The school is about to start, and Mingyuan is closer to the school, which will be more convenient for me.”

She didn’t reveal her suspicions to avoid alerting the enemy.

With the enemy hidden in the shadows, she couldn’t reveal this poisonous snake for now, it was better to return to a safer place.

At her Mr.’s place, at least no one wanted to harm her.

Mrs. Lu was reluctant to let her go, “Alright then. When you have a free weekend, I’ll have your brother come to pick you up.”

“Okay.”
