Chapter 152 : Happiness

Hearing that Mrs. Lu had not been resting well recently, Lu Yunyao went to the Lu family home to keep her company.

“Yaoyao, you’re Mommy’s little treasure. What worries me the most is your happiness.”

Lu Yunyao’s almond-shaped eyes were filled with deep emotion as she smiled gently.

“Mom, I’m very happy. I have good friends at school, loving parents and a brother at home, and a caring husband.”

Her expectations were simple; she just wanted a peaceful life.

Compared to her previous days at the Mu family, her current life felt almost like heaven!

Seeing her daughter’s innocent smile, Mrs. Lu felt a pang of pain.

She already knew about the situation…

Yaoyao loved her husband so much, but her husband was a fraud using someone else’s identity.

Even if the Lu family could forgive him, Fu Sichan would never let him go!

When the time came, how devastated Yaoyao would be after such a blow…

“Mom, what’s wrong? Is something bothering you?”

Mrs. Lu wiped away her tears and shook her head.

“It’s nothing, Mommy just had a bad dream. Yaoyao, your father and I would like to meet your husband. Is that okay?”

Lu Yunyao hesitated before speaking.

“Mr… is very busy with work.”

“Even if he’s busy, he should be able to spare an afternoon, right? We won’t take too long, just a brief meeting.”

Lu Yunyao had to tell the truth, “Mr. might be afraid that you and Dad won’t approve, so he’s reluctant to come to the Lu family.”

Reluctant to come?

Mrs. Lu was convinced that her son-in-law was hiding something and was afraid of having his real identity exposed, which was why he was unwilling to visit the Lu family.

How could she trust such a deceitful person with her daughter?

“Mom, what about Lu Yunxiang? Why is she never home when I visit?”

Mrs. Lu’s thoughts were pulled back to reality.

“Oh, she’s been spending a lot of time with the eldest son of the Gu family recently and isn’t home much.”

This puzzled Mrs. Lu as well.

Every time Yaoyao came over, Lu Yunxiang would leave home early.

“Yaoyao, is there some tension between you and Yunxiang?”

Lu Yunyao pressed her lips together and shook her head obediently.

“No, there’s no conflict between us.”

She didn’t want to worry her mother, so she decided not to mention the unpleasant things.

Mrs. Lu began to suspect.

Yaoyao was gentle and kind, which Mrs. Lu knew well.

Could it be that Yunxiang disliked Yaoyao, which is why she kept avoiding her?

When Lu Yunxiang came home that evening, Mrs. Lu went to her room to have a heart-to-heart talk.

“Yunxiang, tell Mommy the truth, do you dislike Yaoyao?”

Lu Yunxiang’s smile became stiff, almost revealing her feelings.

“No, not at all. I had an appointment with Young Master Gu, so I went out to meet him. Otherwise, I would have loved to stay at home and spend time with Yaoyao.”

“That’s good. Although you’re not biological sisters, in my heart, you’re the same. If you have any discomfort, you can always tell me.”

The same?

Such lies could only deceive herself.

Lu Yunxiang lowered her head, her eyes showing deep sarcasm.

But by the time she lifted her head, the sarcasm had been replaced with obedience.

“Mom, don’t worry. I’m not a petty person. Since Yaoyao lacks parental love, you should spend more time with her.”

Mrs. Lu felt a surge of relief. “You’re so considerate, making it easier for Mommy. Tomorrow, since Yaoyao doesn’t have class, you, as her older sister, can take her shopping. Here’s a card, feel free to use it.”

“Okay, I’ll take good care of my sister.”

As Lu Yunxiang watched Mrs. Lu leave, her expression slowly turned into a snarl of anger and distortion.

It was all because of their favoritism!

In the end, they came with false pretense to comfort her, as if they wanted her to be grateful.

Every time Lu Yunyao came over, the Lu family would always send her away, their guarded thoughts obvious to anyone.

Mrs. Lu even came to pretend to be kind, but she was no longer fooled by such acts.

Looking at the gold card in her hand, envy and jealousy nearly drove her to the edge!

The Lu family had never been so generous to her, and the only time they were was to make her take Lu Yunyao shopping.

Ha, this is their so-called “equal treatment”?

She could deceive herself, but she couldn’t deceive her.

“Hello…”

Lu Yunxiang dialed Young Master Gu’s number.

The phone on the other end was filled with noise and the sounds of flirtatious laughter from women.

“What’s up?”

Lu Yunxiang shivered, barely holding back the urge to vomit.

“Young Master Gu, are you free tomorrow? I want to bring my sister to meet you, she admires you very much.”

“Your sister?”

Gu Mao thought of that innocent girl and felt a surge of desire.

He stood up directly. “If a beauty wants to see me, I must make time. Have her come to see me tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Lu Yunxiang quickly threw her phone away.

Meanwhile, Gu Mao was entwined by a pair of snake-like arms, and a pair of red, seductive lips pouted in displeasure.

“Young Master Gu, what are you doing?”

Gu Mao impatiently pushed her arm away. “Get out.”

Seeing his anger, the woman quickly grabbed her clothes and left the private room.

Gu Mao sat alone in the dimly lit room, smoking several cigarettes.

Damn it, compared to that woman, these superficial beauties around him were utterly uninteresting.

…

“Lu Yunxiang? Why are you here?”

As soon as Lu Yunyao got into the car, she realized that the person next to her was not Lu Yunbei but Lu Yunxiang.

“Mom asked me to take you shopping. Let’s go.”

Noticing Lu Yunyao’s hesitation, Lu Yunxiang immediately grabbed her arm to prevent her from leaving.

“Yaoyao, Mom hopes we can get along well as sisters. You don’t want to disappoint her, do you?”

The driver was from the Lu family.

If Lu Yunyao refused too obviously, it would seem like she was petty and couldn’t tolerate her sister.

Lu Yunyao lowered her gaze and tacitly accepted.

Lu Yunxiang’s lips curled into a triumphant smile as she instructed the driver to start the car.

The car stopped at a bustling shopping center.

This gave Lu Yunyao a bit of reassurance.

With so many people around, Lu Yunxiang probably wouldn’t do anything.

But after getting out of the car, Lu Yunxiang dragged her into a glamorous building.

There were far fewer people inside, and the security was very strict.

Hearing the deafening music inside, Lu Yunyao felt uneasy.

“What is this place?”

“Don’t worry, this is my friend’s place. Nothing will happen.”

Lu Yunyao refused to go any further. “I want to go back.”

“Oh, come on, why are you so timid? Mom asked me to show you around. She wouldn’t harm you.”

Lu Yunyao’s face grew cold. “Mom wouldn’t, but you might.”
