When Lu Zhengming heard that Lao Lin had an illegitimate daughter, his mouth gaped open and he couldn't close it for a long time.

Qin Fengying kept rambling on and on.

"Everyone said that Lao Lin was the least likely to have an accident, but I never expected that his illegitimate daughter was older than his biological daughter."

"Old Lu, in your opinion, is Old Lin's honest and simple personality just an act?"

"Oh dear, luckily he revealed his secret early. If our family had married into the Lin family, we would definitely be implicated now."

"Our Han'er is so lucky. The master said he would soon overcome his tribulation, and it's true..."

After Lu Baoqi was sent to the hospital, Lu Baozhi hired a caregiver to look after her.

Bao Yun didn't want to go home, so she stayed at the hospital.

Today's family dinner is probably the least lively one in the Lu family's history.

There's no Lu Yi who can be beaten, scolded, or ridiculed at will, no Lu Baoyun who chatters away, and no Lu Baoqi who acts out all sorts of drama queen acts...

Lu Baozhi ate her food in silence, refusing to respond to anything Qin Fengying said.

Seeing that the atmosphere had become awkward, Lu Baofei put down her chopsticks and gave Lu Han a meaningful look.

"Mom and Dad, I've talked to President Lin and also spoken with Lu Yi. I believe Han'er and Lin Xiaoya cannot break up, at least not now!"

She was concise and to the point.

Qin Fengying was taken aback.

"That old vixen from the Lin family spreads rumors about our Han'er every day, and even tries to fool people with a substitution trick. Does she think she's a female strategist?"

"I've already prepared the money. I'll return it to the Lin family, and then Han'er and Lin Mengmeng, as well as Lin Xiaoya, will be even. Why not split it?"

Lu Han is her eyeball.

She couldn't swallow this insult, having been tricked by three women from the Lin family.

Separate as soon as possible and sever ties with the Lin family.

When she saw Lin Yuan again, she finally had the confidence to challenge her.

Lu Zhengming looked at Lu Han with a scrutinizing gaze.

This made Lu Han very uneasy.

The situation before him was no longer something he could handle alone.

Even if Fan Tong kept his mouth shut and didn't reveal any of those messy things, he was always worried that he wouldn't be able to withstand his father's questioning.

Especially the second sister, whose words were always barbed, and all the delicious food on the table tasted like cardboard when she put it in her mouth, and she didn't even dare to lift her eyelids.

"Han'er, what do you think?"

Lu Zhengming finally asked the first question.

He directly bypassed Madam Qin Fengying's indirect probing.

In his view, Lin Hongtao had several children, but they had no direct relationship with the Lu family.

Whether Lu Han wants to continue talking with the Lin family's daughter is the key to resolving the issue.

"I... Dad, I don't know either."

Psychologically speaking, Lu Han really couldn't bear to part with Lin Mengmeng.

What guy wouldn't like a girl who'd give him money without hesitation?

However, after getting to know Lin Xiaoya a few times, he discovered that girls who appear weak on the surface but are strong on the inside are even more attractive.

Lin Xiaoya is like a combination of Lu Baofei and Lu Baoqi.

She is far superior to Lin Mengmeng in appearance, talent, and intelligence.

More importantly, Lin Xiaoya also had a video in her hand, which was enough to make him lose face and even lose the powerful Lu family as his backer.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Han stammered, "Dad, I actually quite like Lin Xiaoya."

Everyone here has been through this.

Everyone could tell he wasn't being sincere.

Lu Baozhi looked surprised and frowned, saying, "It's always been Lin Mengmeng who comes to our house before. Why are you interested in Lin Xiaoya?"

"At this point, what is there that you can't be honest about?"

Dating is a minor matter.

It would be laughable if we sowed the seeds of future trouble and were tricked by the Lin family again!

Lu Baoqi fell ill on the spot, which became known to the entire internet.

Lu Yi's identity was practically exposed, and the Lu family was thus branded as having fought with the Fan family for their son.

No one in Lu Han's family knows how many evil deeds he has committed.

But the fact remains that the Lu family is in a precarious position.

If he kept it a secret even from his own family, Lu Baozhi couldn't imagine what the Lu family would face in the future.

Lin Xiaoya is more cunning than Liang Shiyue and has a clearer purpose than Lin Mengmeng. She is simply not someone a guy like Lu Han can handle.

"Big sister, I really like Lin Xiaoya..."

Lu Han fiddled with the food in her bowl and repeated.

Lu Baofei took a deep breath. "Lu Han, tell me honestly, is there something Lin Xiaoya has on you?"

"Lu Baofei, are you ever going to stop?"

Qin Fengying's face showed a hint of anger when she heard that she was about to give Lu Han a joint trial.

"Mom, don't interrupt. This matter needs to be clarified today, or I deserve to have that cup of coffee thrown at me!"

Lu Baofei asked again, unwilling to give up.

Seeing that he didn't want to answer, Lu Baofei snorted angrily.

“Lu Han, don’t think you can act recklessly just because your mother is protecting you.”

"Mom, I'm here to ask you this time: what case did you go to the police station with the lawyer to handle?"

"If Han'er gets into trouble, can't the legal team at Daddy's company handle it? Who on earth is it that makes you and your son go to such lengths to hire outside lawyers!"

Upon hearing this, both Lu Zhengming and Lu Baozhi showed surprise.

One of Lu Han's chopsticks fell onto the table.

It made a clanging sound.

Qin Fengying lowered her head and glanced at Lu Han.

"What are you talking about? Han'er's friend is in some trouble and is all alone in Jiangzhou. It's perfectly normal for me to find a lawyer to help him!"

"It's perfectly reasonable to let the company's legal team handle Han'er's case, but what's the point of dumping other work on them as well!"

Qin Fengying spoke with conviction.

They didn't feel they had done anything wrong at all.

She has already paid the first lawyer's fee, and the lawyer has already started to work on Fan Tong's case. Should she tell him now that his family disagrees and wants the money back?

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Lu Han's forehead, and her hands, placed under the table, trembled violently.

He and his mother were very discreet. Lu Baofei wasn't in the country at the time, so how could she know so much?

Seeing her eldest sister Lu Baozhi's bewildered expression, Lu Han muttered to herself.

There must be someone in the Second Sister's sights in China. Could it be Lu Yi?

Besides him, Lu Han couldn't think of anyone else who would be eager for him to go in as soon as possible!

"Whose case is it anyway?"

Lu Zhengming's face hardened, and he asked in a stern voice.

Qin Fengying was startled by his deep voice.

"He's a thief who was recently arrested. Han'er has some connections with him, and now..."

Lu Zhengming snorted.

"You mean, while I was away from the country, you just watched Han'er befriend criminals?"

"Qin Fengying, are you even thinking straight? Lu Han is about to turn eighteen. Doesn't he even have the ability to distinguish right from wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Baozhi turned her head and glanced at the wall-mounted television.

If I remember correctly, it was after seeing the news on TV that the third sister, Lu Baoqi, suddenly developed a worsening condition.

Could it be such a coincidence?

Is the close friend Lu Han mentioned the one who caused Third Sister's illness?
