Chapter 132 : Mr.’s Gift

Lu Yunbei descended the stairs like a zombie.

“Brother, what’s wrong?”

Mu Qianqian asked in confusion.

She had been looking at the remaining gifts by the car, so she hadn’t followed him upstairs and didn’t know what had happened.

“It’s nothing.”

Lu Yunbei forced himself to stay upbeat, not wanting Yaoyao to see his distaste for her husband.

After all, that was Yaoyao’s husband. If he showed too much disdain, it would make Yaoyao uncomfortable.

“I wanted to tell you something.”

“What is it?”

“Mom and Dad have started a charity foundation in your name to help missing or abducted children.”

Mu Qianqian was deeply touched upon hearing this.

By doing this, her parents were not only helping more children in need, but also accumulating good deeds for her, hoping that her future would be smooth and free of hardships.

She would never have to suffer again.

Mu Qianqian lowered her head, “Please thank Mom and Dad for me.”

“We’re family, no need to be so formal,” Lu Yunbei said, ruffling her hair.

Although this was the first time he had been close to his sister, Lu Yunbei felt perfectly at ease.

That’s the wonderful thing about blood relations.

“I’ll help you carry the rest of the gifts upstairs. You should come up too, don’t stay downstairs in the cold.”

“Okay,” Mu Qianqian agreed sweetly.

…

Back home, Lu Yunbei reported to his parents.

“How did it go? Did you meet Yaoyao’s husband?”

Lu Yunbei’s expression was troubled. “I did meet him, but…”

“But what? Hurry up and tell us.”

“Yaoyao’s husband is a bit older, nearly forty.”

Mrs. Lu’s heart sank. “How could he be so old?”

Their Yaoyao was only twenty!

How could she marry someone so much older?

“And from his demeanor and appearance, he seems to be just an ordinary office worker, just as Yaoyao said.”

This suggested that her husband’s capabilities might not be impressive either.

Mr. Lu pondered and said, “You can’t judge a book by its cover. These things are superficial. What really matters is his character and how he treats Yaoyao.”

Mrs. Lu gave him a light punch on the shoulder. “What superficial things? Don’t you want Yaoyao to find a good husband?”

“That’s not what I meant,” Mr. Lu soothed. “If he’s diligent and honest, we can always bring him into our company and promote him. It’s not a big deal.”

“Ah, I’m just worried that if he becomes too ambitious, he might end up treating Yaoyao poorly.”

“Don’t worry about it. We’ll assess him properly when we meet him ourselves.”

“Alright, we’ll do it your way.”

Lu Yunxiang, who had been eavesdropping outside the door, was so pleased by the news that she nearly jumped for joy.

She covered her smiling mouth, went back to her room, and laughed heartily under the covers.

This was fantastic!

She wants to take advantage of the upcoming family reunion party to shine and find herself the most capable and high-quality man.

If… I could marry into the Fu family, or marry the heir of another aristocratic family, I wouldn’t have to worry about the rest of my life.

From now on, Mu Qianqian is not even worthy of carrying her shoes in front of her!

Thinking of this scene, Lu Yunxiang’s heart began to pound with excitement!

—

Mu Qianqian was at home unwrapping gifts, her hands sore from the effort.

Just then, Li Siyu video-called her, and Mu Qianqian took the opportunity to complain to her friend.

“Siyu, when will you have some free time to come over and help me unwrap these gifts?”

“Sis Qianqian, how did you end up with so many gifts?”

Li Siyu was stunned to see the living room floor piled high with various gift boxes. The sight was overwhelming!

These items were clearly expensive, and just a quick glance revealed they were all luxury goods.

A rough estimate put the value of the gifts in the living room at seven figures!

“Some of these are from my husband’s family, and some are from my family.”

“Your family?” Li Siyu was shocked.

It wasn’t that she looked down on Mu’s family; it was just that, in her view, Mu’s family was not the type to be so generous or treat Mu Qianqian so well.

The few people in the Mu family were nothing but leeches, always bullying Qianqian.

“Siyu, there’s something I haven’t told you yet. Actually, the Mu family aren’t my real parents.”

“Then who are your real parents?”

“Remember the Lu family, whose daughter went missing? Recently, I was reunited with my real parents.”

Li Siyu suddenly understood. “So, you’re the missing youngest daughter of the Lu family!”

“That’s right.”

“Wow, Qianqian, you went from being Cinderella to a princess in one go! This is amazing; you’ve finally had your fair share of happiness. I always knew that someone as kind as you would eventually be rewarded.”

Even through the phone screen, Mu Qianqian could feel Li Siyu’s excitement.

In fact, Li Siyu was on the verge of tears from joy.

“Why are you crying? Isn’t this a good thing?”

“It is a good thing, an enormous good thing. I’m going to tell Yanran about this so she can be happy too.”

“Mm, I actually planned to tell you guys once school started.”

Since Li Siyu had called at just the right moment, Mu Qianqian decided to share the news directly.

“By the way, Qianqian, your husband’s family seems quite generous. The gifts they gave you look very expensive. Some brands I don’t even recognize.”

“Yes,” Mu Qianqian said with a happy smile, “Mr. and his family have been very kind to me.”

“Your husband’s family must be quite wealthy, right?”

“Probably. I’m not really sure.”

Mu Qianqian wasn’t very concerned about these things.

In a big family, some relatives were wealthy while others were poor. That was normal.

Even if Mr. had some wealthy relatives, Mu Qianqian never thought of taking advantage of them.

To her, family affection was far more important than money.

That evening, Fu Sichan returned home.

“Mr. you’re back.”

Mu Qianqian stood up from amidst the pile of gifts, excitedly heading towards the door.

Fu Sichan walked into the living room and said to the people behind him, “Move it in.”

Mu Qianqian looked back in confusion.

“What’s that?”

Had Mr bought new furniture? Did it need to be moved?

Her confusion was quickly resolved.

She heard a “meow” sound.

Mu Qianqian’s eyes lit up, and she bounced with joy like a little rabbit.

“It’s a kitten! Mr. did you get a cat?”

Fu Sichan gave a soft “mm.”

Mu Qianqian crouched down and, through the cage, gently petted the little kitten’s head.

At first, the kitten was a bit scared, but soon it mustered up the courage to nuzzle her palm.

Mu Qianqian’s heart almost melted.

She excitedly asked, “Mr. what made you think of getting a cat?”

“I promised Grandma that I’d get you a New Year’s gift.”

Having given nearly all the gifts that could be given, Fu Sichan thought long and hard and concluded that only a kitten would truly make the little girl happy.
