Chapter 138 : Wolf’s Den

“Mr. I have something to tell you.”

As soon as Lu Yunyao got home, she couldn’t wait to tell him everything that had happened in the Lu family.

She didn’t know who the hidden threat in the Lu family was, so she was afraid to speak out recklessly, worrying that the snake might overhear and become cautious.

But with her Mr. she didn’t need to hold back anything.

“Someone sprinkled poison powder on your dress? And secretly instructed a servant to poison Xiangxiang?”

A cold, fierce light flashed in Fu Sichan’s eyes.

Anyone who dares to touch him is truly courting death.

Lu Yunyao’s face was full of worry and fear.

“That perfume must be problematic, but I don’t know who did it. Although it was discovered that the poison was due to the servant’s carelessness, I still feel like there’s more to it.”

“Mr. do you think there’s someone in the Lu family targeting me, or am I overthinking it?”

Fu Sichan ruffled her hair, “You’re thinking correctly. There aren’t so many ‘coincidences’ in this world. Many so-called coincidences are actually intentional.”

He was in charge of the Fu family and had extensive experience in the business world, so he knew that Lu Yunyao wasn’t just being paranoid. This was a deliberate scheme.

There was indeed someone in the Lu family who was plotting against her.

“Mother originally wanted me to bring back to the Lu family to live, but I’m a bit scared now and don’t want to go back to the Lu family.”

After these incidents, Lu Yunyao had developed a sense of repulsion toward the Lu family.

Seeing her downcast, Fu Sichan comforted her.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”

Lu Yunyao felt warmth in her heart and leaned against her Mr.’s embrace.

“I’m afraid to tell Mom and Dad. I worry they might think I’m suffering from paranoia.”

After all, not having been with her biological parents for so many years, Lu Yunyao inevitably felt estranged from them.

She feared that her parents might dislike or reject her, just like in novels, if she didn’t perform well.

But she could speak freely with her Mr.

Her dependence was something Fu Sichan truly valued.

He naturally couldn’t let down the trust the little girl had in him.

“It’s good that you’re cautious. Human nature is hard to read. Even the kindest and most gentle person on the surface might be cruel and malicious behind the scenes.”

Fu Sichan analyzed, “The Lu family is simple. Besides Mr. and Mrs. Lu, there are only Lu Yunbai and Lu Yunxiang.”

“The servants have no personal interest in harming you. They wouldn’t hurt you without reason.”

“So, the person who’s harming you is most likely one of these four.”

Three blood relatives, one adopted daughter.

Lu Yunyao’s return would only affect the interests of the adopted daughter.

“So…”

“In the future, be cautious when dealing with Lu Yunxiang.”

Fu Sichan’s quick thinking led him to analyze the most likely suspect based on the stakes involved.

Lu Yunyao thought about it and nodded in agreement.

“Mr. I think you’re right.”

“But, Mom, Dad, and Brother have lived with Lu Yunxiang for many years. Even if there’s no blood relation, there is still some familial bond.”

“If I expose her recklessly without evidence, it might backfire.”

At that time, if Lu Yunxiang cries and turns things around, she might end up being seen as the villain who’s overly suspicious.

If Lu Yunxiang spreads rumors in her circle, Lu Yunyao’s reputation could be completely tarnished.

Therefore, the most important thing is to collect evidence first, and then completely tear off Lu Yunxiang’s hypocritical mask!

Seeing the little girl’s growth, Fu Sichan felt extremely relieved.

“Finally not stupid anymore.”

“That’s, wait…” Lu Yunyao reacted slowly and raised his head, “Mr. you said I’m stupid?”

“Aren’t you stupid?”

Lu Yunyao was puffed up like a little dolphin.

“I’m not stupid.”

She stomped her foot in frustration and bumped her head against Fu Sichan’s stomach.

Fu Sichan effortlessly lifted her up and threw her over his shoulder.

He strode confidently toward the bedroom.

“Put me down, put me down right now.”

Lu Yunyao’s cheeks were flushed with embarrassment as she struggled.

Fu Sichan playfully smacked her on the backside.

“Late night stay, family rules apply.”

Lu Yunyao’s voice turned delicate as she protested.

“Mr. I slept at the Lu family’s place yesterday, so it’s not a late night stay.”

Fu Sichan ignored her and continued carrying her towards the bedroom.

Lu Yunyao, frightened, grabbed the wall and hesitated to enter.

“Scared already?” Fu Sichan’s voice was teasing, deliberately provoking her.

Seeing her look of shyness and fear made him find her incredibly cute, like a little cat that had been provoked.

“Mr. it’s daytime, you can’t, you can’t…”

“Can’t what?”

Fu Sichan lowered his voice suggestively, deliberately moving closer to her ear.

The warm breath made Lu Yunyao’s face turn completely red, her body going soft.

The bedroom, filled with Fu Sichan’s scent and strong masculine hormones, felt like a wolf’s den to Lu Yunyao!

At that moment, Fu Sichan’s hot breath brushed against her lips as he lightly pecked her.

Lu Yunyao stared wide-eyed in surprise.

Taking advantage of her momentary distraction, Fu Sichan pulled her hand from the wall and swiftly moved her.

With a “thud,” the bedroom door was closed from the inside.

The girl was thrown onto the bed and before she could react, her ankles were grabbed and she was pinned down.

Lu Yunyao covered her burning face, her heart racing wildly.

It wasn’t until evening that Lu Yunyao managed to escape.

This time, her hands weren’t harmed.

However, as she walked, her legs dared not touch each other, as the slightest contact was intensely painful.

—

After the winter break, Lu Yunyao returned to school for classes.

She had gone from coming from a rural family with a preference for sons to becoming the daughter of the wealthy Lu family, which made her the envy of others.

“She’s so lucky, isn’t she? She was once poor and had to apply for financial aid, and now she’s suddenly a rich heiress. It’s like she’s turned from a commoner into a phoenix overnight!”

“I’ve heard that the Lu family treats her incredibly well, practically showering her with love. They’d give her anything she wants, even the stars, but not just the moon.”

“After all the trouble to find their daughter, of course, they’re going to treat her well.”

“That photo from the party circulated, and someone recognized the jewelry she was wearing, it’s worth nine billion!”

For a time, Lu Yunyao became the center of attention at school once again.

No matter where she went, be it the classroom or the cafeteria, people were talking about her good fortune.

Some even treated her like a symbol of good luck, sharing photos of her attending the family reunion party in various groups.

“Share this princess from a rich family, and your rich biological parents might come looking for you.”

When Fang Yanran mentioned this to Lu Yunyao, Lu Yunyao simply smiled calmly.

“I don’t have any special luck, everyone’s just playing around with memes.”

“Hey, Yaoyao, why is there talk that you’re married?”

Lu Yunyao blinked in confusion, “Where?”

“On the forum, the headline says ‘The Pure Campus Beauty Unveiled, Actually This Kind of Person Behind the Scenes’… The title is so malicious.”

“Somebody’s spreading rumors that you’re actually married to an old man who’s poor and ugly, covered in acne and so on… It’s really disgusting that they’re making up such vile lies.”
