“What? Where’s that person? Harassing virtuous women in broad daylight! I’ll make him repent for his actions!”

In the dormitory, Wei Xinmiao became furious as she listened to Xu Youyou recount her encounter at the school gate.

The new student had come all the way from Jiang City, yet before she could experience the beauty and warmth of the capital, she was already harassed by a lunatic, bringing disgrace upon the capital’s reputation!

Xu Youyou reassured, “Calm down, calm down. That guy has already been chased away by the security guards!”

Moreover, the security uncles also comforted her, saying they remembered the guy’s face and would not allow such scum to appear within a kilometer of the school!

Because at that moment, Xu Youyou had bypassed the guy named Lu Haoyu, but he was still relentless in trying to catch up.

Amid a crowd, directly resorting to violence wasn’t ideal. Calling the police would take too long, and on her first day of school, Xu Youyou didn’t want to become infamous so quickly. Therefore, she opted to seek help from the school’s security guards.

These past few days, with the start of classes at A University, there were more security guards than usual at the entrance.

Xu Youyou hurried to a nearby security guard and immediately explained that she didn’t know the person who had approached her. She recounted how he had instantly asked her to be his girlfriend and even offered her fifty thousand yuan as pocket money as if he had a screw loose in his head.

With just one glance, the security uncle recognized Xu Youyou as a freshman. And seeing her outstanding appearance, what else was there to be puzzled about?

Just across the street from A University was a well-known film academy. Throughout the year, there would always be some wealthy bosses in luxury cars ‘scouting’ for handsome men and beautiful women at the school gate, and they couldn’t be shooed away even if they tried.

Clearly, the security guard had mistaken Lu Haoyu for one of those individuals.

This was A University! Not some place for nouveau riches to run wild!

The security guard immediately signaled to his colleagues to intercept Lu Haoyu, while at the same time, he ushered Xu Youyou inside. He assured her that she didn’t need to worry about what would happen next; they would handle it. This gesture aimed to provide the student with a sense of security.

As expected of A University!

Lu Haoyu said, “……I’m not a bad person.” He reached for his business card to prove his identity.

The Lu family had indeed been declining in recent years. Lu Weiyao, ever since he married Zhao Xuanyi, had become increasingly muddled in the head. Almost whenever Zhao Xuanyi shed a tear or acted spoiled, he would buy anything and agree to anything.

He even arranged for Zhao Xuanyi’s relatives to work in the Lu family’s company, causing chaos within the Lu Group.

Initially, Old Master Lu was angry and attempted to reclaim control, but due to his old age, his efforts ultimately failed.

While Lu Weiyao might have been muddled when it came to women, he was quite clear-headed when it came to dealing with his own father. Otherwise, Old Master Lu wouldn’t have entrusted the company to him in the first place.

Little did Old Master Lu know that once control was handed over, it would never be regained.

Yet, how could Old Master Lu resign himself to simply ‘enjoying his twilight years’? He couldn’t bear to watch the Lu Group being controlled by someone surnamed Zhao!

At that moment, Old Master Lu finally understood that his son was utterly useless. He decided to bring Lu Haoyu directly by his side for mentoring. With Old Master Lu’s assistance, two years ago, Lu Haoyu successfully seized the position of chairman from his own father.

The shareholders initially had doubts about this young man, but they were surprised by Lu Haoyu’s capabilities. As the male protagonist, he possessed a natural talent for business. He had a keen eye and perfect timing, which allowed him to succeed. Otherwise, in the original story, he wouldn’t have been able to achieve such heights relying solely on Lu Weizheng.

As a result, over the past two years, the influence of the Lu family in the capital began to gradually rise once again.

Such changes filled Lu Haoyu with confidence in his decisions and plans. He still remembered when his father took him to Jiang City to reconcile with his uncle, only to be rejected at the door.

People all said that the Lu family would be nothing without Lu Weizheng, but he refused to believe it.

With himself in charge, the Lu family would only continue to thrive.

Yet despite his success in the business world, he was disappointed in love. Lu Haoyu couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pain when he thought about Yao Yunyou, who wanted to study abroad as an exchange student.

He had clearly stated that she could rely on him for everything, whether it was a female lead role in a TV drama or anything else she desired. He promised to obtain it for her, as long as she stayed by his side.

But Yao Yunyou was such a stubborn girl. She insisted on making her own way in the world and couldn’t always rely on Lu Haoyu to pave the path for her. Otherwise, she felt she would be no different from a canary raised by Lu Haoyu.

Amidst his pain, Lu Haoyu also felt a subtle sense of pride. Yao Yunyou was indeed the girl he had set his eyes on, different from those flashy and cheap women outside.

Although Yao Yunyou had not yet accepted his confession, it didn’t discourage Lu Haoyu. He believed that with sincerity, even the hardest heart could be softened. As long as he persisted, Youyou^[1]莜莜 would surely see his true feelings.

So today, Lu Haoyu impulsively came to Yao Yunyou’s school, hoping to catch a glimpse of her presence and feel her aura.

Coincidentally, while taking a stroll, he spotted a girl who bore some resemblance to Yao Yunyou.

Initially, Lu Haoyu didn’t intend for this girl to become his girlfriend; at most, he considered giving her some money to occasionally serve as a reminder of Yao Yunyou whenever he missed her.

However, upon seeing that Xu Youyou was a student at A University and considering his grandfather’s recent insistence on finding a suitable match from a similar background, Lu Haoyu suddenly conceived a brilliant idea that could kill three birds with one stone.

Having an A University student as his girlfriend wouldn’t be too embarrassing to tell others. He could even use her to appease his grandfather. Moreover, it might confuse Zhao Xuanyi. With luck, this plan could allow him to successfully deal with that malicious woman before his mother’s release from prison.

Moreover, he would have the opportunity to frequently see ‘Youyou’, and when Yao Yunyou returned, he could explain that the relationship was merely superficial. After all, the other person was just a replica, and Yao Yunyou surely wouldn’t mind.

As for whether Xu Youyou would agree or not, Lu Haoyu didn’t even consider such matters.

If offering money didn’t work, he would find out what or who Xu Youyou cared about, as everyone had their weaknesses.

Unfortunately, Lu Haoyu would soon realize that he wasn’t a deity in this world, and everything doesn’t revolve around him!

“I don’t care who you are!” The security uncle was firm. “Harassing female students at our school is not acceptable! Are you leaving or not? If you don’t, we’ll call the police! There are surveillance cameras here!”

As the security guard’s spittle splattered onto his clothes, Lu Haoyu’s expression darkened immediately.

Considering himself a civilized person, Lu Haoyu didn’t want to argue with such an uncouth security guard. Seeing that Xu Youyou had already entered the school, he coldly snorted and turned to leave.

“What kind of person is he, relying on filthy money to bully people at our school.”

“Yeah, next time, don’t let us catch you here again!”

Lu Haoyu: “……”

He had to endure!

Unexpectedly, due to his sudden turn and lowered head, he collided with a nearby student’s luggage, and the suitcase rolled over his shoes.

Everyone knows that the luggage at the start of the semester was the heaviest, as it was filled with parents’ love.

A piercing pain shot up from his toes, causing Lu Haoyu’s face to darken even further. “How do you even walk?!”

What started as an accident escalated instantly due to Lu Haoyu’s attitude, which angered the male student.

“Isn’t it because you suddenly turned around? I’m walking normally!”

“Are you trying to shift the blame onto me?”

He didn’t care if Lu Haoyu was the chairman of some group; he didn’t recognize him.

He wasn’t going to back down just because Lu Haoyu had a bad attitude. Everyone was equal; why should he let Lu Haoyu have his way?!

The security guards on the side also defended the student. Seeing that the other party had more people and he was alone, Lu Haoyu knew he would be at a disadvantage if a conflict arose. So, he endured the pain and the frustration, swallowed his anger, and returned to his car.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got! This A University was definitely at odds with him!

———pr

Back at the dormitory, Wei Xinmiao was also cursing furiously.

“If I had been there, I would have taught him a lesson.” Wei Xinmiao boasted, showing off her abdominal muscles to Xu Youyou. “You can trust me, Youzai. I’ve trained before. I’ll definitely protect a delicate flower like you!”

Xu Youyou asked, “……Delicate flower?”

As for the nickname Youzai, Xu Youyou didn’t mind it at all. When Liu Miaomiao called her with that name on the phone just now, Wei Xinmiao overheard it. Suddenly, Wei Xinmiao felt that it was better than the usual Youyou. So after asking Xu Youyou for permission, she started using it as well.

She, on the other hand, preferred Xu Youyou to call her Sanshui^[2]literally: three waters. Of course, if Xu Youyou was willing to call her Brother Sanshui, she wouldn’t mind either.

Wei Xinmiao had a laid-back personality, evident in both her words and actions.

Compared to sensitive individuals, Xu Youyou preferred to befriend someone like Wei Xinmiao. However, it seemed like this new friend had some misunderstandings about her.

Since they were already living together, Xu Youyou decided not to hide anything.

In front of Wei Xinmiao, she lifted up her upper clothing, revealing her well-defined and powerful four-pack abs.

Wei Xinmiao: “……I was wrong, Master You.”

This new roommate appeared gentle and delicate like a little white rabbit, with a face that could easily become the center of a girl group. Who would have thought she was quite athletic?!

But this was even better!

Wei Xinmiao was someone who appreciated good looks, naturally showing more care toward those who were aesthetically pleasing to her eyes.

However, she didn’t quite like those who were too affected or pretentious. Now that she found a new friend who not only looked good but also had a personality that suited her, wasn’t she just the perfect roommate?

If nothing unexpected happened, they would have at least four years of friendship ahead of them!

“Let’s go, let’s grab some food.” Wei Xinmiao said happily, putting her arm around Xu Youyou. “After the military training is over, I’ll take you to try some authentic local cuisine in the capital. I guarantee it’s delicious and affordable!”

The two of them happily headed towards the cafeteria. As for Lu Haoyu?

He’s just a lunatic. Letting him ruin Xu Youyou’s good mood at the start of the semester would be a loss, wouldn’t it?

———pr

In the afternoon, Xu Youyou and Wei Xinmiao went to their college’s teaching building to attend the first class meeting of their university journey.

Their counselor, surnamed Yuan, was a man in his early thirties with a slightly receding hairline. He introduced himself first, then talked about some of the traditions of A University and the things to pay attention to during the upcoming military training, all in a humorous and approachable manner.

He also said they could just call him Brother Yuan.

“I’m not much older than you guys anyway, hahaha.”

Instantly, laughter erupted from the crowd below.

Xu Youyou’s class, including herself, consisted of thirty-six students, with the majority being female. There were only ten male students.

It was mainly related to their major, but it didn’t really affect anything.

When Xu Youyou went up to introduce herself, the girls applauded louder.

Who doesn’t like pretty girls? Seeing them every day can increase longevity!

With Xu Youyou’s looks, the first reaction of a normal person upon seeing her would be admiration, not jealousy.

Soon, the class meeting ended, and Xu Youyou had gained quite a few new contacts on her phone.

If she had been willing, Xu Youyou would probably become the temporary class leader of this new class.

Then during military training, she would be in the spotlight as the class leader. That would have been impressive!

However, to everyone’s surprise, Xu Youyou, who appeared delicate and beautiful, turned out to be quite impressive her own!

Whether it was standing posture or the military boxing taught by the instructors, Xu Youyou always performed with exceptional accuracy and quality. Even her bed was neatly made, resembling a block of tofu.

During sparring sessions, she also managed to knock down an instructor who wasn’t initially prepared for her attack.

“Wow——”

Such a scene would excite anyone who witnessed it.

People naturally admire strength. With Xu Youyou’s good looks and pleasant personality, they would naturally be drawn to her.

But if the person is also talented and capable, then admiration can easily turn into idolization.

Anyone who can get into A University must have a bit of pride in their heart. But Xu Youyou’s quick acceptance and recognition by everyone were also because she truly deserved it.

Even if she had mastered things early on, when other girls sought her help, she would patiently guide them.

Once, when a girl fainted from heatstroke, Xu Youyou was the first to react. She princess-carried the girl to a shady area and provided emergency assistance.

After waking up, the girl blushed and insisted on inviting Xu Youyou to dinner, but of course, she politely declined.

However, this didn’t stop Xu Youyou from gaining a little fangirl in the process.

If it weren’t against school rules to change rooms casually, Wei Xinmiao felt like she would have been killed by jealous stares already.

“Sigh, it’s really hard to handle the favor of a beauty.”

Wei Xinmiao shook her head and sighed, only to be hit in the forehead by a paper ball thrown by Xu Youyou, who was applying a face mask.

“Ah, Beauty’s assassination!”

“Don’t make me laugh, I’m wearing face mask!”

Xu Youyou was actually a bit puzzled too.

She felt like she didn’t do anything special. They had practiced those things at the training camp and Xu Youyou had learned them a long time ago.

Since she was already proficient, it was only natural for her to help other students in need, right?

And they weren’t arrogantly ordering her around either. They even helped her get water and offered her local specialties.

Wasn’t this just mutual assistance among peers?

Why was everyone so enthusiastic?

Upon hearing Xu Youyou’s confusion, Wei Xinmiao quipped, “I’m kind of glad you’re not a guy.”

Otherwise, she would have turned into central air conditioning^[3]nice to all girls!

But no matter why, it’s always better for everyone to like her than to dislike her.

Wasn’t this the kind of college life Xu Youyou was looking forward to?

With a joyful heart, Xu Youyou happily shared her achievements of the day with Qin Yiren, Lu Chenjun, and the others.

If Xu Wenyin could see this scene right now, she would surely feel comforted and delighted, perhaps even staying up all night to write in her diary!

In the novel, Xu Youyou got into an ordinary university. Due to her insecure and sensitive nature, she had no friends, and her relationship with her roommates was also distant as if she were an invisible person.

When Lu Haoyu began to act aggressively, she didn’t even have anyone to turn to for help.

Throughout her university experience, all that remained in Xu Youyou’s life were pain and regret.

She worked so hard at the Zhou family’s place and studied hard, wasn’t it for the purpose of getting into a good university and having a brand new life?

But all of her efforts were ruined by people like Lu Haoyu, Ruan Rourou, and Yao Yunyou.

Fortunately, those things from the novel would never happen again in this lifetime.

Even if Xu Wenyin wasn’t around, Xu Youyou would still make sure to lead a good life for herself.

The influence and guidance over fifteen years have transformed Xu Youyou completely, and she is no longer the sensitive and insecure girl from the novel.

The military training quickly came to an end, and Xu Youyou’s university life officially began.

Apart from their major courses, participation in extracurricular activities was also an important aspect for freshmen in their first year of university.

After much deliberation, Xu Youyou couldn’t decide which club to join. In the end, under the recommendation of Wei Xinmiao, she joined the anime club.

Her life was quite busy, although Xu Youyou herself didn’t feel it was difficult. However, she didn’t have much time for entertainment like watching anime and reading novels, so her understanding of these things was only superficial.

But Wei Xinmiao was different!

It was only then that Xu Youyou realized her new friend, Wei Xinmiao, was actually a cosplayer with some online popularity, having portrayed several classic characters.

“Wait until this year’s anime festival, I’ll take you to broaden your horizons!”

Wei Xinmiao smiled and patted her chest, saying, “Young people should explore the colorful world as much as possible!”

Xu Youyou felt that Wei Xinmiao and Liu Miaomiao would get along well.

But upon further consideration, her friend’s words made a lot of sense too. Her life had just begun, so why not explore things she hadn’t encountered before?

Perhaps she might even come to like them?

Even if she ended up not liking them later on, it wouldn’t be a loss.

Hadn’t her mother always hoped that she could do what she wanted and live each day happily?

Xu Youyou has always been the one to listen to her mother the most.

———pr

While Xu Youyou was enjoying a wonderful college life, things were a bit rough for Lu Haoyu.

The day he returned, he had people look into the freshmen of A University, and with Xu Youyou’s appearance, it didn’t take long for her to be found.

However, when he saw the report of the person who accompanied Xu Youyou to school that day, Lu Haoyu’s hand suddenly exerted force, almost breaking the glass in his hand.

Qin Xiao! Qin Yiren! Lu Chenjun!

These faces, he would never forget them in his entire life!

Lu Haoyu didn’t expect that the person he casually chose would have connections with these three individuals.

Due to Lu Weizheng’s influence, the information about Qin Yiren and Lu Chenjun was naturally strictly confidential, and it was even more difficult to obtain any significant information on Qin Xiao’s side.

Over the years, Xu Wenyin had also adhered to the principle of getting rich in silence. With her level of technical expertise, it was still even more difficult to obtain information about her and her daughter.

Even though Xu Wenyin herself wasn’t present now, it doesn’t mean these people can find out anything.

But if they couldn’t find anything at all, doesn’t that just mean they’re incompetent?

One must know that Lu Haoyu wasn’t an easy-to-please boss. In order to meet his expectations, the investigators went to great lengths and finally managed to uncover two things.

One of them was the incident where several people slandered Xu Youyou because of Lin Zeming and were subsequently reported to the police and forced to apologize.

The other was the car accident. Because the scene was too horrifying, it made headlines even in Jiang City. However, to protect the information of the people involved, Xu Youyou and the others were represented as ‘X’.

However, those who knew still knew, after all, there were too many people involved in that matter.

Among them was also a vicious underage murderer.

“Mr. Lu, I infer that this Xu Youyou, even if she isn’t Lu Chenjun’s child bribe, has a special relationship with him.”

You think?

Based on Lu Haoyu’s understanding of his cousin, how could he personally send someone to school if their relationship wasn’t good?

Lu Haoyu is four years older than Lu Chenjun. He knew that his cousin had been eccentric since childhood. Having high intelligence but lacking emotional intelligence, what good does it do?

He can be a poor researcher at most!

Of course, if Lu Weizheng’s family wasn’t doing well, Lu Haoyu would only be happier.

If it weren’t for them, her mother wouldn’t have ended up in prison.

Every month, Lu Haoyu would visit Ruan Rourou. His mother, who had been gentle and beautiful, had become aged and haggard after spending so many years in prison. He exhausted all means but couldn’t get Ruan Rourou released early. Even though she could have her sentence reduced for good behavior, she still needed two more years before she could be released.

For Lu Haoyu, this filial son, every extra day his mother spent in prison added to his hatred towards the Lu Weizheng’s family by one more point.

“Xu Youyou?”

Not only did she resemble his beloved, but her name was also similar.

Initially, Lu Haoyu only wanted this woman to serve as a shield and stand-in for Yao Yunyou. But now, things were different.

Wouldn’t it be interesting if he could snatch her away from Lu Chenjun?

———pr

Xu Youyou was somewhat puzzled when called to the counselor’s office by a text message. It mentioned discussing something about financial assistance, but what kind of assistance?

Did they want her to provide financial assistance to someone?

It was impossible to understand clearly with just a few text messages, so Xu Youyou decided to come over instead.

Then, in the counselor’s office, she saw the lunatic— Oh no, what was his name again?

Because he had the same last name as Lu Chenjun, Xu Youyou only remembered that bit.

As for the person standing next to Lu Something, it should be his assistant or something similar.

Why was this guy there?

Just when Xu Youyou was confused, the counselor warmly introduced him.

“Student Xu, this is Mr. Lu, the chairman of the Lu Group. After learning about your difficulties, he expressed his intention to support you financially during your university studies, covering your living and academic expenses.”

“Mr. Lu has come here in person to meet you. You must work hard from now on and not let Mr. Lu’s earnest efforts go to waste.”

How come she understood every word of the counselor’s speech separately but not when they were put together?

Xu Youyou’s head was adorned with question marks. “Financial support? Why would he want to support me?”

Seeing that the young girl seemed to still not fully understand the situation, the counselor apologized to Lu Haoyu with a smile, explained briefly, and then took Xu Youyou outside the office to explain the ins and outs of the matter.

“Student Xu, I know about your family situation.”

“You might feel a bit embarrassed and not want to tell others. Don’t worry, only I know about this, and I won’t mention it to your classmates.”

“Students should prioritize their studies while at school. Mr. Lu will not only provide financial support to our college but also intends to sponsor a few students. Isn’t it natural for me to think of you first?”

Counselor Yuan didn’t have any malicious intentions. On the contrary, he quite liked Xu Youyou, who was cheerful and beautiful.

Therefore, upon learning about the sponsorship, he immediately thought of Xu Youyou and put her name forward.

Coincidentally, Mr. Lu mentioned that he wanted to meet the person before deciding. The counselor didn’t see any issue with it and called Xu Youyou, hoping to leave a good impression on him.

As for why he thought Xu Youyou needed sponsorship, despite her choice of the most expensive double room, it seemed to be a misunderstanding.

At that time, it was Qin Yiren who came with Xu Youyou to register in front of the counselor, while Lu Chenjun and Qin Xiao waited outside because of the crowd.

The counselor even thought that Qin Yiren was Xu Youyou’s mother, but Xu Youyou called the other party ‘Aunt^[4]woman of similar age to one’s parents Qin’, so they must be relatives, right? But relatives don’t usually address each other like that, do they?

Seeing the father’s section empty and the mother’s occupation listed as a freelancer, the counselor evidently made some assumptions.

Later during military training, he also had individual conversations with each student, aiming to understand their situations better.

When it was Xu Youyou’s turn, the counselor was particularly cautious.

But Xu Youyou seemed unfazed; she simply stated that her father had passed away, and her mother was currently unable to be present due to an accident. Therefore, the person who accompanied her that day was her mother’s close friend.

“What about Student Xu’s paternal or maternal grandparents?”

Were there no other relatives? Why would her mother’s friend be the one to accompany her?

Xu Youyou replied, “My paternal grandparents don’t visit, and my maternal grandparents have already passed away.”

Ah, this.

The story of an inspirational girl who encountered hardships but remained optimistic and cheerful and successfully got into A university suddenly appeared in the counselor’s mind.

What’s even more remarkable was that Xu Wenyin, because of her love for literature, occasionally audited classes at the literature department despite majoring in computer science. Moreover, her stint as a library administrator left a good impression on a few professors.

Over a decade passed, but Xu Youyou’s appearance bore a striking resemblance to Xu Wenyin’s. Even if the professors didn’t immediately recall it at first, after meeting a few times and hearing the familiar surname, they naturally asked a few more questions.

Sure enough, Xu Youyou was Xu Wenyin’s daughter.

The counselor also knew how Xu Wenyin had worked diligently to support herself through her studies back then.

Both mother and daughter were truly inspirational!

As for the fact that Xu Youyou lived in a double room, it seemed to have slipped his mind. However, even if he were to remember, he would probably speculate that it was chosen by her mother’s friend, considering Qin Yiren looked wealthy at first glance.

But ultimately, a mother’s friend is just a friend, and it wouldn’t be right to keep troubling her.

The counselor thought that since someone was willing to sponsor and it was done through the official channels of the school, there shouldn’t be any problems.

It would be good for Xu Youyou to have some financial flexibility on her own. After all, there would be plenty of expenses to cover in the future.

He had seen Xu Youyou’s college entrance exam scores, and they were excellent! Everyone naturally liked a talented and sensible child.

Xu Youyou: “……”

Since the start of school, although she hadn’t flaunted her wealth, she also hadn’t given the impression that she needed sponsorship, right?

However, before Xu Youyou could explain the misunderstanding, she was pulled into the counselor’s office again, as it wouldn’t be good to keep Mr. Lu waiting for too long.

Seeing the counselor and Xu Youyou come back in, the assistant figured they must have finished their discussion.

The assistant, receiving a subtle nod from his boss, stepped forward and said, “Student Xu, you should understand the situation now, right? Mr. Lu thinks highly of you, and he just decided to increase the sponsorship by an additional ten thousand per month based on the initial agreement. Don’t let Mr. Lu down.”

Xu Youyou: “……”

As soon as these words were spoken, even the counselor felt that something wasn’t right.

Adding another ten thousand just from one meeting? That didn’t seem right, no matter how much money was involved.

Seeing Xu Youyou’s pure and innocent face, the counselor’s heart sank.

Oh no, could it be that the chairman of the Lu Group had some ulterior motives?

No, this couldn’t be allowed! Absolutely not!

He would never lead a student astray.

However, before the counselor could speak, Xu Youyou spoke up.

Her gaze didn’t shift to the assistant but directly met Lu Haoyu’s, and then she gave a smile tinged with mockery and disdain.

“Mr. Lu is indeed generous.”

Lu Haoyu didn’t catch the meaning behind Xu Youyou’s smile; he thought his move was effective.

He considered that during their first meeting, he might have been too hasty and incoherent, which was why she didn’t believe him. So, this time, he went directly to Xu Youyou’s college through official channels.

In this way, Xu Youyou would find it difficult to refuse him.

Lu Haoyu had confidence in his charm. He believed that after spending some time together, Xu Youyou would surely understand the appeal of someone like him, compared to the stiff and emotionally unintelligent Lu Chenjun.

It wouldn’t be long before she ‘saw the light’ and switched sides!

Just as Lu Haoyu was about to smile and speak, Xu Youyou continued, “But my mom always says there’s no such thing as a free lunch. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is!”

Why would he go out of his way to sponsor her?

Just thinking about it feels off!

Lu Haoyu, who really had ulterior motives: “……”

His smile froze instantly on his face. He was completely thrown off guard and forgot what he had intended to say.

This woman, having been with Lu Chenjun for so long, has absolutely no insight!
