"Lu Han, the eldest son of the Lu family!"

Hong Ye's smile was somewhat eerie, with an undisguised sinister and cunning quality.

"You've been a pampered young master since childhood and you're not short of money, so why would you want to work for me?"

Hong Ye held his cane horizontally, blocking Lu Han who was walking towards him, his eyes flashing with an indescribable cruelty.

Lu Han felt as if she were shrouded in a huge shadow, and a chill ran through her heart, but she dared not not answer.

It seems that the money he'd been searching for has finally found its owner!

After a slight hesitation, Lu Han cupped his hands in a fist and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Master Hong, but I cannot accept your money for nothing. As the saying goes, one should not accept a reward without merit..."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Hong Ye laughed wildly a few times, "Look at this little thing, it's so interesting, much cuter than you guys!"

Before Lu Han could figure out what she had said wrong, Master Hong walked to the sofa and sat down steadily.

"Lu Han, it's not that I can't work for you, but I want to hear the truth!"

"Those who want to use my name and influence to achieve their own goals have long been buried under graves, haven't they?"

His smile froze on his face, and the others moved closer to Lu Han.

It was as if he could be torn to pieces on the spot if he uttered a single wrong word.

"Master Hong, I truly admire you. To be honest, I have a persistent older brother who's always clinging to me. If he hadn't been jealous of how much I'm favored, I wouldn't have been sent here!"

"My brother's name is Lu Yi. He's currently in Jiangzhou. He not only has close ties with the Gu family, but he's also become the Fan family's godson!"

Lu Han was so flustered that she almost lost her balance. Her lips moved rapidly, as if she wanted to reveal all of Lu Yi's "shameful" secrets!

Master Hong's expression suddenly changed. "Lu Han, you are the adopted son of the Lu family, while Lu Yi is the real eldest young master of the Lu family, right?"

Knowing her identity had been exposed, Lu Han nodded, her eyes reddening.

“I dare not lie to Master Hong, I am indeed an adopted son, but the Lu family has been incredibly kind to me. I just don’t want to see the Lu family destroyed by my brother…”
