Chapter 98 : Brother strongly protects his sister

Wang Yanru called Mu Qianqian.

“Where have you been slacking off again? Hurry up and water the garden.”

Mu Qianqian frowned, “But isn’t it your turn to water the garden today?”

“What’s mine and yours? We all share the work, so stop being so particular about it,” Wang Yanru snapped.

Mu Qianqian didn’t want to argue and agreed.

“Young Master Lu, I’ll go water the garden now. You can rest back at the pavilion.”

“I’ll go with you.”

Mu Qianqian thought for a moment and replied, “Alright.”

Young Master Lu might be missing his sister too much.

So even though he knew she couldn’t possibly be the Lu family’s lost younger sister, he still wanted to see her face more.

Arriving at the garden.

Mu Qianqian intended to use the hose to water the plants, but after turning it on for a while, no water came out.

“What’s going on?”

Lu Yunbei inspected the situation.

His face darkened. “The hose here has been deliberately cut.”

Without the hose, Mu Qianqian had no choice but to fetch water from the front. The distance was several hundred meters back and forth.

With her small frame, she would be exhausted.

The person who cut the hose was truly malicious.

“Ah? I’ll go fetch the water then,” Mu Qianqian said quietly.

As she was about to leave, Lu Yunbei stopped her.

“Don’t go. This matter needs to be addressed.”

Before Mu Qianqian could react, Lu Yunbei pulled her along.

He led her straight to the general manager’s office.

“Young Master Lu, what brings you here?”

Lu Yunbei got straight to the point, “Check the surveillance footage.”

“Surveillance footage? Did something get stolen?”

“That’s none of your concern. Just get the garden’s surveillance footage.”

“I’ll call the security office and have them send over the footage.”

Soon, the security office sent the surveillance footage from the past seven days.

Lu Yunbei scrolled through the footage and spotted a suspicious figure.

This morning, someone had deliberately cut the hose!

They wanted to push their work onto Mu Qianqian and make her suffer.

Moreover, since Mu Qianqian couldn’t see, fetching water was extremely dangerous, she could easily fall and get hurt.

The manager murmured to himself.

“Isn’t that Wang Yanru? What is she doing?”

“Why is she spreading so many sharp stones on the ground?”

Lu Yunbei’s pupils constricted, and a flash of anger crossed his face.

“She wanted to make Qianqian fall, let those stones scratch her face, and disfigure her.”

“What? She actually harbors such malicious intentions?”

Upon hearing their conversation, Mu Qianqian felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

She had always known that Wang Yanru was unhappy with her.

But she never expected Wang Yanru to be so ruthless!

She wanted to disfigure her!

What a deviously cruel move without bloodshed.

Even if Mu Qianqian had been hurt on her face, she would have just considered it bad luck, never suspecting that it was all deliberately planned.

Fortunately, Lu Yunbei had brought her to see the surveillance footage.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have known that there was a snake hidden beside her!

“Manager, do you still intend to keep someone with such a poisonous heart in the hotel?”

The manager was enraged, “Young Master Lu, don’t worry. I will handle this matter properly! We will not tolerate such people.”

Others might not know, but he was very clear.

This Miss Mu was someone who had been personally sent over.

If anything happened to her in the hotel, his job as manager would be over!

Thinking of this, the manager broke out in a cold sweat, immediately pressing the bell to call a large group of people for a meeting.

Sister Li rushed over, “Manager, what happened?”

“Didn’t you check the people you hired? Look at what kind of person you brought in!”

The screen displayed the surveillance footage.

Wang Yanru was seen sneaking around, cutting the hose, and spreading sharp stones on the path leading to the front yard.

“Ah! What is Wang Yanru doing?”

“I don’t know, but she looks so sneaky, she must have bad intentions!”

Wang Yanru lowered her head, feeling guilty.

But soon, she became defiant.

So what if she was caught cutting the hose and spreading stones?

Had she broken the law? No!

This was a clever plan she had thought of for days.

The biggest advantage of this plan was, there was no direct evidence!

Wang Yanru argued, “I just had a moment of folly and made a joke. Do you really need to be so tense? Can’t you take a joke?”

“A joke? You deliberately made Qianqian do your work, wanting her to walk on the stony path with water, just to play a joke on her?”

“Do you realize that her vision is impaired? What severe consequences could result if she accidentally falls?!”

Lu Yunbei, a gentleman with refined manners, rarely showed anger like this.

But that didn’t mean he was a pushover.

When he lost his temper, it was equally imposing and frightening.

After hearing Lu Yunbei’s words, everyone understood that Wang Yanru had gone through such lengths to target Mu Qianqian.

Previously, due to the issue with Young Master Ye, Wang Yanru harbored a grudge against Mu Qianqian…

No one expected she would be so cruel! Wanting to disfigure Mu Qianqian!

Wang Yanru’s face turned pale, “I don’t understand what you’re saying. It was my turn to water the garden today. Mu Qianqian took my job without asking, can it be considered that I plotted against her?”

She tried to shift all the blame onto Mu Qianqian.

Mu Qianqian countered, “You were the one who called me and told me to water the garden.”

“Ha, that’s impossible! I called you to get you back to work, not to water the garden. How does that relate to anything?”

Wang Yanru crossed her arms, looking smug.

She thought her explanation was flawless.

But what she didn’t expect was…

Mu Qianqian often recorded her lessons on her phone, so the audio recording was always on.

She played back the recording, which included Wang Yanru’s command “Where did you run off to? Hurry up and water the garden.”

“Whatever, work is work. Just do it, don’t make such a fuss.”

The truth was clear.

Wang Yanru had instructed Mu Qianqian to do the work, and if anything happened, everyone would think it was her fault for taking someone else’s job.

Who would have thought that it was all part of Wang Yanru’s scheme?

“Oh my God, Wang Yanru is such a person! I even considered her a good friend before.”

“I will never go near her again. What if she plots against me someday?”

“Qianqian is such a good person, with no grudges or complaints. Why does Wang Yanru want to harm her? Is it just out of jealousy? Her heart is so narrow-minded.”

People began to point fingers at Wang Yanru.

She, overwhelmed by resentment, said recklessly, “I was just joking with Mu Qianqian! Besides, she’s fine, isn’t she?”

“It’ll be too late if something really happens,” the manager said.

Lu Yunbei stood protectively in front of Mu Qianqian, his voice cold, “If anything were to happen to her, do you think you’d still be standing here?”

Mu Qianqian felt a surge of indescribable warmth in her heart.

At that moment, she suddenly envied the Lu family’s young lady.

Not only did she have a loving family, but she also had a protective older brother like Lu Yunbei.

How she wished she had a brother like him.
