Chapter 236 : Asking Mr. for Help

After hearing about her experience, Lu Yunyao clenched her fists in anger.

“What kind of person is this? He clearly made advances on you first, so why is the Cheng family sending someone to cause you trouble?”

The Cheng family really can’t tell right from wrong!

Li Siyu sighed, looking troubled. “Who can argue with that? They have power and influence, what can I do? I guess it’s my fault for having a bad temper. I could have just yelled at him to vent my frustration; why did I have to get physical? Sigh.”

That’s the downside of learning martial arts, it can foster violent emotions!

Relying on her skills, she felt fearless, but this time she kicked a steel plate.

Fang Yanran asked worriedly, “You didn’t get spotted by anyone from the Cheng family after leaving school, did you?”

“I don’t think so. I was wearing a mask and sunglasses when I came over. Besides, the Cheng family doesn’t know my identity yet; they won’t send people to watch the school entrance.”

But hiding like this isn’t a long-term solution.

She might escape for now, but can she really hide forever?

Li Siyu’s biggest worry was that when she returned home for the summer, the Cheng family would come looking for revenge, and it would definitely put her family in danger.

Her parents were already struggling with their small business; she didn’t want to add to their troubles.

Just then, the waiter brought over coffee and desserts.

“Let’s not talk about this for now; some sweets will definitely lift your spirits.”

After leaving the café, they took a stroll near the school to unwind.

Noticing Li Siyu’s low mood, Lu Yunyao gently reassured her, “Siyu, don’t worry. I’ll talk to my family and see what I can find out about the Cheng family. Maybe my family has connections there, and this will all blow over.”

“Thank you for trying to help, but I’ve heard the Cheng family is not to be messed with. I don’t want to drag your family into this.”

“Don’t worry, I know my limits.”

When they reached the snack street outside the school, Li Siyu bought a bunch of snacks, including super spicy grilled squid and stinky tofu.

“Yaoyao, why aren’t you trying any street food? It’s so delicious!”

Li Siyu had tried to quit street food many times but just couldn’t resist.

Lu Yunyao coughed a couple of times from the smoke and turned a little red in the face.

She leaned close to Li Siyu and whispered, “I… I’m pregnant. Don’t tell anyone.”

Li Siyu’s eyes widened in surprise. “What?”

Seeing Lu Yunyao’s shy expression, she realized it wasn’t the right place to discuss this and quickly lowered her voice.

“Yaoyao, is it true?”

Lu Yunyao nodded, her ears flushing.

“Yeah. It won’t be long before it’s obvious.”

Though she was thin and her belly wasn’t showing much yet, it would become noticeable in due time.

Fang Yanran took their hands and led them away from the smoke-filled snack street.

“Let’s find a place with better air to talk, it’s not good for you, Yaoyao.”

“Let’s go for a walk on the playground at school.”

Li Siyu quickly finished her snacks and threw the wrappers in the trash.

She was a bit flustered after learning her best friend was pregnant.

“Yaoyao, you’re not planning to drop out and go home to have the baby, are you?”

Lu Yunyao broke into a smile, “Of course not, I’m not foolish.”

“That’s good. During high school, your dream school was the Finance University. You finally got in, so you mustn’t give up easily.”

Lu Yunyao nodded earnestly, “Yeah, I know.”

She wouldn’t abandon her studies to be a full-time wife.

If she dropped out for the baby, how could she teach her child to strive for success?

She needed to set a good example! No matter what happened, she wouldn’t give up on her dreams.

“If your belly gets big and affects your classes, Yanran and I can take turns recording the lectures for you. You can self-study at home.”

Lu Yunyao felt genuinely grateful, “Thank you both.”

Having such good friends was a blessing, she would cherish their friendship.

…

After returning home, Lu Yunyao asked her Mr about the Cheng family.

“Mr, do you know about the Cheng family in Bei City?”

Fu Sichan raised an eyebrow, “Cheng Lin?”

“That name sounds familiar… I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere…”

Lu Yunyao thought for a long time but couldn’t recall where she’d heard it.

However, Fu Sichan’s expression darkened, his voice icy.

“Little girl, are you thinking of another man in front of your husband? Do you want to feel the family law again?”

Lu Yunyao jumped, frightened.

“N-no! Absolutely not! I’m thinking about my good friend Li Siyu.”

“What does she have to do with Cheng Lin?”

Lu Yunyao shared what she had learned earlier.

“Mr, I suspect the Cheng family’s young master who got beaten by Li Siyu is Cheng Lin.”

She finally remembered!

At a previous party, she had encountered Cheng Lin with Ye Wanqing.

But Wanqing had warned her that Cheng Lin was a playboy, always chasing beautiful women, and told her to avoid him.

It seemed this playboy, Cheng Lin, was the one who harassed Li Siyu at the bar and ended up getting beaten!

Fu Sichan sneered, “No need to doubt, it’s definitely him.”

Cheng Lin had been mingling with women for years and finally met his match.

When Cheng Lin came over that day, he was all bruised and battered.

To that, Fu Sichan could only say two words “Deserved it.”

After all, who told Cheng Lin not to pursue relationships properly and to act like a rogue?

“Mr, should I call Dad?”

Fu Sichan looked puzzled, “What do you want to call him for?”

“Dad should know the Cheng family. I want him to plead with them to let Siyu go.”

Fu Sichan’s expression turned dark.

“Am I not standing right in front of you? Why go far and ask President Lu for help?”

Does he really seem that unreliable?

He needs his little wife to plead with her father?

Lu Yunyao blinked innocently and said naively, “But Mr, you’re just a vice president.”

Her dad is the big boss of the company, way more impressive than Mr.’s “vice president” status.

So, her dad’s words carry more weight and are more useful.

Fu Sichan was left speechless, his expression shifting dramatically.

Finally, he clenched his teeth and forced out, “There’s no need to trouble your father over this, leave it to me.”

Lu Yunyao’s eyes showed her tension as she pouted her pink lips.

“Mr, please don’t push yourself. I don’t want to make things difficult for you.”

Fu Sichan stared at her ominously, pinching her cheek playfully.

“Little girl, there’s nothing in this world that can make your husband feel awkward.”

Lu Yunyao tilted her head.

“But Mr, aren’t you a vice president?”

“A vice president is still more powerful than others.”

With his hand on her cheek, her eyes curved into crescent moons, sparkling beautifully.

“Mr, you’re so full of yourself!”

Fu Sichan’s face darkened.

If it weren’t for her baby, he would have loved to pin this spoiled girl down and give her a good spanking.

In this world, only Lu Yunyao would dare to talk to the head of the Fu Group like that.
