Lu Xinwan also saw the news, but didn't take it to heart. After shopping, it was already evening when she returned to the Lu family home. As soon as she entered, she saw that the entire Lu family had gathered in the living room.

Actually, her thinking wasn't wrong. Apart from Mrs. Lu, who looked extremely distressed, everyone else in the Lu family treated her the same as before. Regardless of whether she was Mrs. Lu's biological daughter or not, she was Mr. Lu's flesh and blood, and that much was true.

That evening, she overheard the servants talking and learned that Mrs. Lu had been throwing a tantrum all day, but her family advised her not to dwell on it anymore, since it was Ms. Luo who had made the mistake, not Lu Xinwan. As for Mrs. Lu's daughter, Mr. Lu had already sent people to search for her everywhere.

They were unaware that Mrs. Lu's daughter had died.

But after seeing the video, Mrs. Lu immediately recalled the scene when she gave birth, and her subsequent investigations. She already knew that there were two other pregnant women who gave birth in the same delivery room as her, and the three of them gave birth to three children, one of whom had died.

The child who died was sold to a poor mountain village to be a child bride. She started working as soon as she could walk and fell into a well and drowned. Mrs. Lu had already found Lu Xinwan and secretly conducted a paternity test, confirming that Lu Xinwan was her daughter. So she was relieved that the dead child was not her daughter.

Now she realized that her paternity test results had been faked, with the doctor being bribed to do so.

Now that neither of her two daughters are her children, what about her children...?

Mrs. Lu had already told Mr. Lu about it, but Mr. Lu didn't seem to care. Firstly, in his earliest understanding, he only had one daughter, and now he did indeed have Lu Xinwan as his daughter; secondly, he felt that Mrs. Lu might have been traumatized, so why was she so convinced that the child was dead?

He was completely unaware of what the women in his backyard were up to. He was kept in the dark about everything, from Ms. Luo buying children to Mrs. Lu sending people to investigate.

Mrs. Lu thought this man was not only stupid, but also a scumbag. Not long after they got married, he got another woman pregnant and even let that woman kill her only child.

During dinner, Grandpa Lu asked Lu Xinwan why she hadn't mentioned the truth even though it had been several days since she learned it.

Lu Xinwan immediately burst into tears, saying, "Grandpa, although Yaoyao isn't a blood relative of the Lu family, she's still been loved by you, Grandma, Dad, and Mom for so many years. If you knew she wasn't a blood relative of the Lu family, how heartbroken you would be! I... I've been tormented by this truth for so many days, constantly torn between telling her and not telling her, and I haven't had a single peaceful night's sleep..."

Mrs. Lu glanced at her with a dark expression, but said nothing.

Seven or eight hours have passed since she saw the news. She cried and made a scene to Mr. Lu and complained to Mr. and Mrs. Lu, but what good did it do? The answer she received was always: no matter what, Xinwan is a member of the Lu family and cannot be mistreated.

After calming down, she also contacted the private investigator she had hired years ago to verify the exact situation of the third baby girl among the three infants. The answer she received was still: she drowned when she was two years old.

Now, the Lu family is on the verge of ruin, and her only remaining hope was killed twenty years ago. It was all because of that woman surnamed Luo, and... Mrs. Lu glanced calmly at Mr. Lu, who was eating with relish across the table... that scumbag!

He not only ruined her life, but also caused the death of her daughter. Now she simply cannot forgive Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu, who was oblivious to family matters and focused solely on business, had no idea how much his wife was suffering. This was especially true because he had approached Tian Jun for the second time this morning, and Tian Jun, unlike last time, had not explicitly refused to invest and instead held onto boundless hope for the company's revival.

He also thought that Tian Jun's lack of explicit refusal this time was mostly due to his one-night stand with Lu Xinwan. Little did he know that Tian Jun simply felt that since Chu Nian intended to harm the Lu family, why not reap the benefits?

He has indeed decided to invest, but when he invests is entirely up to him!

There are many things to consider when to invest, and the results will be completely different depending on when you invest.

Chu Nian received a message from her subordinate: "Mrs. Lu called Ms. Luo three times, but Ms. Luo didn't answer and eventually turned off her phone."

Chu Nian then smiled and instructed, "Then you guys help them connect the phone!" After saying that, she turned to look out the window.

In the woods of the green belt outside the villa, a detective was hiding and spying on her location with binoculars.

She waved cheerfully at the telescope.

The owner of the telescope was quite embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, he called the person who hired him to tell them that he had been discovered.

However, he tried calling several times, but the line was always busy. He didn't know why this woman was so busy; the call had been going on for half an hour.

On the other end of the phone, the woman who had been disguised as a bearded man had now shed her disguise and become a short, plump middle-aged woman.

She had hung up on Mrs. Lu's calls several times, and eventually, out of impatience, she even turned off her phone, simply because she didn't want to face Mrs. Lu at that moment. Frankly, as a mother, she knew the anger and resentment Mrs. Lu harbored, and she needed to think of a way to deal with it before answering Mrs. Lu's calls.

To her surprise, her phone, even though it was switched off, automatically turned on and then automatically answered Mrs. Lu's call. She tried hanging up again, and it connected again; she switched it off again, and then it automatically turned on and answered the phone again... What the hell?!

"Hello, Luo Yujia, I know it's you..." Mrs. Lu said coldly after a long silence on both sides of the phone, "We're both getting on in years, can't we sit down and have a proper chat?"

Luo Yujia paused for a moment, feeling that Mrs. Lu's reaction—knowing her daughter was dead but still treating her as her own—was too calm. But she still asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

"Of course, it's about the relationship between you, me, and Lao Lu," Mrs. Lu said candidly.

Luo Yujia thought for a moment, then asked, "Where shall we talk?"

Mrs. Lu: "I know you've been in contact with Mr. Lu recently, and the Lu family elders have known about you for a long time. I believe they've also wanted to meet you for a while, after all, you gave birth to a child for the Lu family."

Luo Yujia asked, somewhat incredulously, "You mean?"

Mrs. Lu: "Come to the Lu family home at a suitable time!" She paused, then said, "To be honest, as long as Mr. Lu agrees to give me enough money, I'm willing to get a divorce and make room for you."

Luo Yujia fell silent, feeling that what she was hearing couldn't possibly be true.
