Lu Chengsi pulled open the door and saw Lu Qiaoyi standing outside, holding tea. She looked at him and smiled, "Dad, didn't you go to the company today? I just saw Mom leave, and she looked very unwell. Did you bully Mom again, Dad?" Lu Qiaoyi's voice was very gentle, a stark contrast to the venomous tone she had during their phone call.
Lu Chengsi cast a deep gaze at her, shook his head, and smiled. His voice was as doting as ever, "When have you ever seen me bully your mother? Besides, with you four siblings at home, do you think I'd dare to bully your mother?"
Lu Chengsi invited her in. Lu Qiaoyi placed the tea on the coffee table. Thinking about it, she realized Dad only doted on Mom, and the old couple never forgot to whisper sweet nothings to each other.
"Dad, try this. It's the top-grade black tea I brought back. It tastes great. Big brother really likes it; he took two packs from me to the office."
"Is that so? Lucky boy," Lu Chengsi looked at the tea but made no move to pick it up.
"Yiyi, sit down. Dad wants to talk to you."
"Mm! Dad, go ahead," Lu Qiaoyi happily sat opposite him.
"Yiyi, did Mu Xue take you to Jinshi this time?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Qiaoyi's eyes flickered. She said, "Yes, Aunt Mu happened to be going to Jinshi, so I went with her for fun." Lu Qiaoyi explained with a smile. Mom knew about this.
Mom and Mu Xue were friends.
"But why is Dad interested in my affairs?" Lu Qiaoyi looked at him amusingly. Dad was handsome, and even though he was older, he was still very charming, possessing the mature charisma of his age.
"I... I've been hearing some rumors lately."
Lu Qiaoyi immediately became nervous. "Dad, what rumors?"
Lu Chengsi looked at her nervousness, and a slight stir touched his heart. In truth, even if he knew she wasn't his biological daughter, she was still the daughter he had doted on and raised. Even if her biological daughter was found, she would still be his daughter, and she would have whatever Nuan Nuan had.
But what she had done made him furious. She had actually tried to kill his biological daughter and monopolize the position of the eldest daughter of the Lu family.
He could not forgive her for this.
This made him extremely intolerant.
It was even more impossible to let her schemes succeed!
He wanted to bring his biological daughter back.
"Yiyi, I recently heard that Mu Xue's husband is divorcing her. Mu Xue went to Jinshi and hasn't returned. It's possible she gambled away all her money."
When Lu Qiaoyi heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief and coincidentally seized the opportunity to badmouth Mu Xue to her father.
"Dad, I know about this. Aunt Mu wanted to go back and fight for the property. Guess what happened?" Lu Qiaoyi created suspense.
Lu Chengsi smiled, "How could Dad guess that?"
"Dad, Mu Jiuchen was designed by someone named Jiang Nuan years ago, who gave birth to a son for Mu Jiuchen. This time, Aunt Mu went back and originally wanted the old man's villa. That villa is now worth billions."
"But I don't know what kind of spell that Jiang Nuan cast on the old man, that the old man transferred that villa worth billions to Jiang Nuan, and it now belongs to Jiang Nuan."
"Aunt Mu is truly pitiful; she has nothing now."
Lu Chengsi's expression grew increasingly grim. Nuan Nuan wasn't that kind of person; his daughter, Lu Chengsi's daughter, would never be that kind of person.
That Mu family patriarch was also a prominent figure in the business world in his youth.
How could he have been tricked out of a villa worth billions by a young girl?
Anyone with common sense would know it was impossible. Given Nuan Nuan's indifferent nature, she wouldn't utter any flowery sweet words.
"Dad, I'm telling you, this Jiang Nuan is truly a horrible person. Aunt Mu cries every day now."
Lu Chengsi felt disgusted but didn't say much more, "Yiyi, let's not get involved in other people's family affairs."
"I understand, Dad. But Jiang Nuan and I are friends. Seeing how wealthy our Lu family is, she insisted on getting my WeChat."
"I couldn't refuse her, so I became friends with her."
Lu Chengsi could see it clearly now; Lu Qiaoyi wanted to smear Jiang Nuan in front of them.
"Yiyi, how could you speak of Miss Jiang like that? The Miss Jiang I know is different from what you're saying!" Lu Jinyue walked in from outside.
Lu Chengsi looked at his son. The flamboyant engagement had ended with him being blind. That woman was a vixen. He had asked him to take some time to recover in Jinshi, and upon his return, his mood seemed much better.
Lu Qiaoyi also hadn't expected her eldest brother to return so suddenly and hear what she had just said.
She smiled and said, "Big brother, you don't understand her very well..."
"No, I do understand her. She is a very kind girl, and she always gives me a sense of familiarity," Lu Jinyue said as he walked slowly inside.
Lu Qiaoyi's face turned even uglier!
Lu Chengsi clenched his fists tightly. It was because they were biological siblings that he felt that sense of familiarity.
Lu Jinyue looked at his sister, whose expression was somewhat unhappy. He said, "Yiyi, you need to look at people with your heart, not just on the surface. Jiang Nuan has many negative rumors surrounding her, but those are spread by people jealous of her. She herself is a very outstanding girl. You should learn from her."
"Do you know that she graduated from a renowned medical university abroad? As long as she wants to, she can instantly become a leading figure in the medical field."
"But she is low-key and never cares about such fame."
"You pretend to be friends with her in front of others, yet you speak ill of her behind her back. You should change this personality. To be a person, one should be broad-minded. Losing one's character is losing one's cultivation."
"Yiyi, do you understand?"
Lu Qiaoyi's face instantly felt like it was burning. She whispered, "Brother, I understand. I won't do it again. I'm going to find second brother."
Lu Qiaoyi stood up quickly and left as if escaping.
Lu Chengsi's expression darkened. How could he safely bring Yiyi back?
"Dad, you seem to have something on your mind. Why does your expression look so bad?" Lu Jinyue looked at his father. He rarely saw his father so serious.
Lu Chengsi gave him a deep look, then shook his head slightly. "Thank you for this. Your grandmother was very happy at dinner tonight and wants to see Nuan Nuan again. Call Nuan Nuan and ask her when she has time to visit. Your grandmother really wants to see her."
"Heh heh..." Lu Jinyue smiled, his eyes gentle. "Nuan Nuan just left yesterday?"
"Isn't this fate?" Lu Chengsi smiled. He also wanted to see Nuan Nuan.
Lu Jinyue shook his head slightly. "She probably won't have time in the next few days. She's busy with the pharmaceutical factory cooperation with Rong Yin."
"You rascal, she's right there in Jinshi, why didn't you seize the opportunity?" The Rong family guy stole their family's money, and now he's trying to steal his little white cabbage. He felt annoyed just thinking about it.
Lu Jinyue also looked regretful and smiled, "Dad, I only found out Jiang Nuan's identity after I lost a big project to Rong Yin. But let's not talk about this now; we can still cooperate in the future. I came to tell you about something else."
