Lin Xiaoya stared at Qin Fengying in shock, repeatedly trying to wink at her, but Qin Fengying only glanced at her before turning her attention to Lu Yi.

"Yi'er, I heard you like this kind of tea the most, so I asked someone to bring some back from the production area. Take it back and try it!"

Qin Fengying took out the gift box she had prepared beforehand and carefully placed it on the table.

At that moment, she didn't seem like a mother.

Instead, they seem more like "bribers" seeking favors.

This deep-seated humility was so palpable that even Lin Xiaoya could hardly bear to look at it.

Although she didn't know what Qin Fengying was up to, she could tell from her tone on the phone that Qin Fengying really wanted to help her this time.

Thinking of this, she raised her hand and brushed her hair aside.

"Lu Yi, your aunt kindly gave you a gift, shouldn't you at least say thank you?"

Lu Yi didn't even glance at the gift box.

Tea?

He has never been interested in tea and has never spent time studying it.

It was just that I praised Fan Shenglun a few more times while I was with him.

Lu Yi's brow twitched. "Tea? You called me here just for this?"

He had just finished checking everyone's information and was getting a clue from them when Qin Fengying "tricked" him out with a phone call.

Seeing that she was feinting, Lu Yi's expression turned grim, and he stood up angrily.

Sensing Lu Yi's anger, Lin Xiaoya's eyes flickered.

“Lu Yi, that’s not what I meant. I meant to say… about Daniel…”

She couldn't bear to let Lu Yi go like this.

If chatting with Lu Han was merely an added bonus, something to brighten up a dull journey.

Lu Yi was like a "charcoal" in the snow; she desperately needed him, as she was about to be forced into a difficult situation.

On the way here, she imagined more than once how wonderful it would be to hold Lu Yi's hand and go to see her father.

Upon hearing the "keywords," Qin Fengying quickly came up with a brilliant idea.

"Yes, Yi'er, I heard your godfather is having a headache over Daniel's matter. Mom found out some information."

"Firstly, I want to clarify things for you. My son is so outstanding; he can make a name for himself anywhere. How could he possibly be jealous of someone else's biological son, right?"

"Secondly, also because of my connection with the Fan family, I'll do them a favor, you see..."

“With this incident, Gu Huaibei will definitely be implicated, and Junjun is about to give birth, so all the responsibility will fall on your shoulders.”

"That's not a big deal. The important thing is that you're about to start school. You can't let something like this interfere with your studies..."

She rambled on and on, but never got to the point.

Lin Xiaoya was completely confused.

She quickly looked down, opened her phone, and swiped rapidly.

What did I miss?

What about the Fan family's biological son? Why was Gu Huaibei implicated? While she was on vacation, did new scandals break out in Jiangzhou?

No way...

Seeing Lu Yi and the keyword "murder" "colluding"—no, "being inseparable"—Lin Xiaoya's eyes widened in disbelief.

All I could hear was Qin Fengying rambling on and on, but I didn't hear a single word of what she was saying.

Did Lu Yi kill Daniel?

Qin Fengying summoned her to provide an alibi for Lu Yi?

Lin Xiaoya's thoughts wandered uncontrollably, and in the blink of an eye, she imagined Lu Yi's "crime scene".

This handsome, academically gifted male college student would definitely disdain using tools.

His most aggressive talent is his "eyes" that despise everything, including life...etc.!

Did Daniel die in a car accident?

"Who, who is Daniel?"

Lin Xiaoya muttered to herself as she scrolled through videos, and before she knew it, words had slipped out of her mouth.

Qin Fengying shut her mouth and stared at her intently with the look one would give a "traitor".

“Who is Daniel? You don’t know? You called me yesterday and said that you have a friend who is studying abroad and has had contact with Daniel.”

"Xiaoya, you were quite drunk last night, you haven't forgotten so quickly, have you?"

Qin Fengying picked up the menu, held it to the side of her face, and kept winking at her.

Lin Xiaoya's heart sank completely.

Noticing Lu Yi's piercing gaze, she stammered, "Auntie is right, I drank a little last night... Daniel, he seems to like drinking too... Hehe."

She gave a vague answer while secretly glancing at Lu Yi's expression.

Seeing Lu Yi's eyes narrow slightly, he immediately turned his head back and stood up with a look of fear on his face.

"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom."

Qin Fengying saw her walk to the corner and glance back, and of course understood her implication.

If she doesn't explain herself clearly, Lin Xiaoya is going to ruin her performance.

"Yi'er, sit for a while, Mom will make a phone call and be right back."

After careful consideration, Qin Fengying decided to place her bet on Lin Xiaoya.

Everyone knows that Lu Yi is a child of the Lu family. As long as his stigma is not removed, the Lu family will continue to be ridiculed and mocked behind their backs.

Although Lu Zhengming didn't like discussing work at home, she had heard that if Lu's Group didn't shift its focus to real estate, the shareholders would really all run away.

Lu Yi noticed the flirtatious exchanges between the two.

If Lu Yi still can't see through their little schemes by now, he's truly wasted his life.

"boring!"

Lu Yi left nothing behind, walked out of the restaurant alone, and drove away.

...

"Lu Yi, you guessed right, three of the people on the list you gave me are our clients!"

Gu Huainan was holding a tablet, leaning back in his office chair, talking to Lu Yi while drawing something.
