"Okay, that's good. You two play first, I'm going to take a shower. I'm a little tired after being out all day."

As she spoke, Wen Lu found her change of clothes, took her phone, and went into the bathroom.

She had just stepped into the bathroom when her phone vibrated. It was a message from Gu Yao, telling her that the person had been taken away and that she should be more careful in the future.

Wen Lu replied with "received," then placed her phone on the sink and went to take a shower.

After taking a shower, Wen Lu found a missed call from Wang Jinyu on her phone. Instead of calling him back immediately, Wen Lu sent him a WeChat message telling him that she was tired and going to sleep.

Wen Lu was really tired today. After coming out of the bathroom, she climbed straight into bed, covered herself with the blanket, and prepared to sleep.

Her body simply couldn't handle the amount of exercise she was used to. With just the slightest movement, she would feel completely exhausted, a situation that even someone as skilled as Ghost Hand, who was always fighting against death, found difficult to manage. She had no idea how to treat this frail body.

It seems she needs to reduce her activity level in the future. If she continues to be this busy, she feels like she really won't live much longer.

While worrying about her health, Wen Lu drifted off to sleep. She was only woken up the next day after Qian Lailai called her name for a long time.

Qian Lailai stood by Wen Lu's bedside, looking at Wen Lu with a worried expression, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

When Wen Lu opened her eyes, she saw Qian Lailai's expression. She unconsciously frowned and spoke in a low, hoarse voice.

"Why the long face? Did something happen? Just tell me what's wrong."

"No, I just feel that you don't look well, Junior Uncle. Are you feeling unwell?"

Qian Lailai looked at Wen Lu's serious expression and shook her head vigorously. She noticed that Wen Lu's complexion was not good and wanted to persuade her to see a doctor, but then she thought that Wen Lu's soul had transmigrated into the body of a dead person, so it was normal for her to be unwell.

Qian Lailai seemed to have thought of something. She returned to her seat and rummaged through her bag. She found a black pendant necklace and placed it in Wen Lu's hand. Holding the necklace, Wen Lu instantly felt more comfortable.

She looked at Qian Lailai with a puzzled expression, holding what was in her hand. She raised her hand, placed it in front of her, glanced at it indifferently, and then gently tapped Qian Lailai on the head.

"Did the old man give you this too?"

Wen Lu snorted at Qian Lailai in annoyance. Did she have this treasure but not bring it out? Was she planning to bring it out when she was in a bad situation? She was really going to be driven crazy by this slow-witted little thing.

"Junior Uncle, don't be angry. I only remembered to come because I saw that you weren't doing well. Oh dear, Junior Uncle, are you feeling any better now? You look terrible. How about I ask for leave for you this morning so you can rest in your dorm?"

Qian Lailai knew she had messed things up again, so she spoke to Wen Lu in a coquettish tone. Wen Lu was really not feeling well at the moment and didn't want to argue with Qian Lailai. In the end, she agreed to Qian Lailai's suggestion, hung the necklace on her wrist, turned over, and continued to sleep.

While Wen Lu was sleeping, the Wen family was in complete chaos. Someone had exposed that Madam Wen had given money to Wang Min, and now many media outlets were camped outside the Wen family and Wen Group, trying to find out the reason behind it all.

At this moment, Wen Zhengnan and Chu Qin also looked gloomy. They never thought that the heir of the Xiao family would be someone else. They felt that they had been tricked by the Xiao family.

"The Xiao family is really going too far. They had already announced their engagement to our Xiaoyu, but now they've kicked Xiao Ran out of the Xiao family. Isn't this targeting us and our Xiaoyu?"

Chu Qin sat next to Wen Zhengnan, excitedly grabbing his hand, wanting him to seek justice for Su Yu, but Wen Zhengnan remained seated and motionless.

“Wen Zhengnan, did you hear what I said? You can’t abandon Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu has fallen ill because of this…”

Chu Qin felt heartbroken whenever she thought of Su Yu crying. She could have deliberately ignored Su Yu's feelings before, but she couldn't do it now. The thought of Su Yu crying with tears streaming down her face made her heart ache terribly.

"Alright, can we handle the Xiao family's affairs? Back then, Old Madam Xiao warned Xiao Ran that if he insisted on being with Su Yu, he would lose his status as the heir. I just didn't expect that Old Madam Xiao would actually keep her word."

"Chu Qin, you should deal with what you've done first. I told you not to offend Wen Lu too badly. She came from the Wen family, so she must know something about them. Now, everything has been spread around by Wen Lu!"

“Go to the school and find Wen Lu. Tell her that as long as she is willing to stop, I will give her all the inheritance that the old man left her. Ask her if she is willing to do so.”

Wen Zhengnan was truly at his wits' end. He had already pinned some hopes on Wen Lu, and he actually thought that as long as Wen Lu stopped causing trouble, this farce would end.

"Wen Zhengnan, you want me to beg Wen Lu? Have you forgotten how we drove Wen Lu out? How is it possible for me to beg her now?"

Chu Qin simply couldn't accept Wen Zhengnan asking her to beg Wen Lu. In her mind, Wen Lu should be the one kneeling back and begging her. How could she possibly beg Wen Lu? In her mind, Wen Lu was a useless person, a good-for-nothing in this life.

Seeing Chu Qin's disdainful look towards Wen Lu, Wen Zhengnan sighed helplessly. If he hadn't investigated this series of events beforehand, he probably wouldn't have taken Wen Lu seriously either.

However, after investigating the whole story of Su Yu at school, he realized that they had underestimated Wen Lu. It turned out that Wen Lu not only hid her piano skills, but her habits and personality were also completely different from what they had expected.

It's unclear whether the old man taught Wen Lu too well, or Wen Lu was too clever. She hid herself as an innocent young girl, which made them lower their guard, which is why they are in such a passive position today.

He had felt something was off when Gu Jingkun mentioned Wen Lu before. Now, thinking back, all those oddities were foreshadowing that Wen Lu's identity was not simple. Otherwise, how could an ordinary girl attract Gu Jingkun's attention?

But this is also what he can't understand. Wen Lu's activities are all within his sight, so when did she learn those skills and when did she come into contact with those powerful people?
