Chapter 146 : Questioning Lu Yunxiang

The little girl had no idea how awkward her words made things.

Fu Sichan decided to silence her disobedient little mouth directly.

“Mm, mm…”

Lu Yunyao’s strength was no match for the man, and she soon softened in the Mr.’s arms.

“Mr. when will you stop clinging to me like this?”

Lu Yunyao lay on the bed, weak and teary-eyed.

Fu Sichan wrapped her in his arms, his long arm blocking her collarbone.

“Once you have a baby, we’ll sleep in separate beds.”

Lu Yunyao’s hope rekindled that after she had a child, the Mr.’s attention might shift to the baby.

She hoped the Mr. would cling to the baby every day instead of her, her small frame couldn’t handle it.

…

Lu Family.

“Brother, did you need something?”

Lu Yunxiang nervously entered the Lu family study.

This was a restricted area of the Lu family, and she usually had no right to be here.

Seeing Lu Feng and Lu Yunbei inside, her heart skipped a beat.

“Dad, you’re here too.”

Lu Yunxiang had a bad premonition.

Her premonition soon came true.

“Lu Yunxiang, why did the DNA test results for Yaoyao come out wrong?”

“This… I’m not sure, maybe the agency made a mistake.”

Lu Yunbei sneered, “A mistake? Do you know that such agencies face millions in compensation for errors?”

In other words, these restricted agencies are unlikely to make mistakes.

“I sent Xiaofang to do it. Could it be that she…”

Since she couldn’t shift the blame to the agency, she had to put it on the servant.

Xiaofang had worked for the Lu family for almost ten years and was absolutely loyal.

“I already asked Xiaofang. She said there were two cups on the table when she went to get them from the café.”

Lu Yunxiang quickly replied, “Yes, yes, Xiaofang took both cups. One was mine and the other was Yaoyao’s. One of them should match Dad’s DNA, so I don’t know why there was a mistake.”

“Is that so?” Lu Yunbai’s voice turned icy, “But there was another person there that day. How do you explain that?”

Lu Yunxiang’s pupils contracted, “What?”

“Ye Wanqing herself told me she was there too, so there should have been three cups on the table. I asked the café, and they said you bought all three cups before you left. It’s rare for anyone to buy cups, so the staff remembers clearly.”

They drank their coffee from porcelain cups, not disposable ones.

To take the porcelain cups, you would need to ask the staff to buy them.

So the staff clearly said three cups were sold that day.

But the servant only took two, which means Lu Yunxiang had secretly hidden one.

Lu Yunxiang’s eyelids twitched violently, and her breathing grew tense.

“Yes, yes… I remember now, I accidentally broke one of the cups that day and didn’t want you to blame me, so I didn’t say anything. I thought I had broken Ye Wanqing’s cup, but I ended up breaking my sister’s cup. It was my mistake.”

“Do you deny that you did it on purpose?”

“Why would I do it on purpose?” Lu Yunxiang loudly protested, as if that would cover up her inner anxiety. “Don’t you remember? Let me remind you, the Mu Qianqian back then could have been my sister… If I didn’t want my sister to come home, I wouldn’t have told you.”

Mentioning this matter, Lu Yunbei’s face grew even colder.

“I was at the school beauty contest too, so even if you hadn’t told me, I would have verified Mu Qianqian’s identity. Your telling me only helped dispel my doubts about you.”

Initially, Lu Yunbei hadn’t given it much thought, believing Lu Yunxiang, despite being scheming, still hoped for the best for the Lu family.

But piecing everything together, Lu Yunbei realized Lu Yunxiang was even worse than an outsider!

Lu Yunbei slammed his fist on the table, questioning, “Mom’s health has been declining day by day due to the situation with Yaoyao. As an adopted daughter, did you deliberately obstruct Yaoyao’s reunion with us, wanting to watch Mom die?”

“No! I didn’t think like that. Brother, it’s really a misunderstanding. I genuinely thought the broken cup was Ye Wanqing’s, so I didn’t tell you.”

Tears welled up in Lu Yunxiang’s eyes, making her look pitiful.

“If I had known it was Yaoyao’s cup, even if the shards had cut my hands, I would have picked them up and sent them for testing.”

Lu Yunxiang’s shoulders shook as tears fell continuously.

Her face, so similar to Lu Yunyao’s, made Lu Feng’s heart soften a bit.

Lu Feng spoke in a deep voice, “Alright, whether intentional or not, the mistake is yours. If you don’t repent and treat your sister poorly, don’t blame us for being unforgiving!”

“How could I be unkind to my sister? If she doesn’t like me, I’ll leave the Lu family right away.”

Lu Yunbei coldly said, “Then you should move out today.”

Lu Yunxiang stopped her crying abruptly, eyes wide, rooted to the spot.

At a crucial moment, Lu Feng provided a way out.

“Don’t say such things. We’re a family, and we should stay united. As the elder sister, you should care more for Yaoyao and make up for the grievances she’s suffered.”

Lu Yunxiang quickly said, “I will do my best to treat my sister well.”

“That’s good. You can go now.”

“Yes.” Lu Yunxiang sobbed softly and left the room.

As soon as she exited, her expression of grievance was replaced by bitter resentment.

That meddlesome Ye Wanqing again! She always has to interfere in the Lu family’s affairs!

What does it have to do with her?

In the study.

Lu Yunbei asked in confusion, “Dad, why are you protecting her?”

This cruel woman had long ceased to be in sync with the Lu family!

“I’m not protecting Lu Yunxiang, I’m considering your mother’s well-being,” Lu Feng said wearily, rubbing his forehead.

“Your mother’s health is poor, and she’s always seen Yunxiang as Yaoyao’s stand-in and feels deeply for her. Telling her the truth now might be too much for her. Even if she needs to know, it should be after her health improves.”

Sister plotting against sister is disheartening in any family.

Given Lu Feng’s wife’s poor health, it was best not to tell her about these matters.

Lu Yunbei worried, “But… if we don’t drive Lu Yunxiang away, Yaoyao won’t be able to return home safely.”

“That’s manageable. Lu Yunxiang isn’t young anymore. After a while, we can find her a good family to marry into, and that will complete our father-daughter duty.”

“Then let’s do as you say.”

“Hmm, go. Keep a close watch on Lu Yunxiang during this time and make sure she doesn’t pull any more tricks.”
