Lu Yi stared at her intently, his cold gaze mixed with something inexplicable.

Lu Baoyun didn't understand it, nor did she want to understand it.

She grabbed Lu Yi's arm anxiously, "Yi'er, think about it carefully..."

"If Jiaojiao is still alive, why doesn't she contact you, the Huo family, or us?"

"She might already be gone. You're not fully recovered yet, and you're going to find her like this. Have you thought about the consequences?"

She didn't want to lose Gu Huainan, and she didn't want to lose Lu Yi either.

These two boys were the most important people in her life besides her father.

Gu Huainan didn't need her to persuade him with painstaking words. As long as Lu Yi was willing to give up the idea, Gu Huainan naturally had no reason to risk his life alone.

"Jiaojiao went missing because of me."

Lu Yi pursed his thin lips, a strange look of pain appearing in his eyes.

At this moment, all of Lu Baoyun's words seemed pale and powerless.

This kind of life-or-death emotional bond is the most invincible, and Lu Baoyun has already experienced it firsthand with him.

She opened her mouth, choked back tears, and gently hugged Lu Yi.

“Yi’er, I hurt you unintentionally once. I know how agonizing that kind of pain can be. I understand you…”

At that time, she ran over Lu Yi's arm with her car.

Afterwards, following Lu Han's instigation, she did a lot of things to sow discord between Lu Yi and Lu Han.

The suffering Lu Yi endured became an unhealable scar on her heart.

She kept looking for an opportunity to make amends, but as time went on, she realized that hands that have hurt others can never be truly cleaned, no matter how much you wash them.

Even if it was truly an unintentional mistake at the time.

"no the same!"

Lu Yi's voice was flat and emotionless.

"What's different?"

Lu Baoyun awkwardly let go of him, looking at his face with suspicion.

"You hit me with your car because you hate me. If I were to break my arm and become lame, you would only feel good about it!"

“Jiaojiao is different. In the past year or so, besides eating and sleeping, she has only done one thing: protect me!”

"I caused her to disappear, so naturally I should go and find her, no matter if she is dead or alive!"

Lu Yi's words instantly chilled Lu Baoyun's passionate heart.

Since Lu Yi left the Lu family, he has never brought up those unhappy things to her.

So much time has passed, Lu Baoyun still thought he had forgotten.

Unexpectedly, he had been tormenting himself like this all along.

What did he just say? He said he would go find Ruan Jiaojiao no matter if she lived or died?

Isn't this even more outrageous?

He risked his life to find a dead person; didn't he think about how all the living people felt?

"Yi'er, you have a family, more than one, right?"

"I know you have no affection for the Lu family, but you still have the Fan family, the Gu family, and the Huo family. They all treat you like family!"

"You acted so impulsively just for a woman named Ruan Jiaojiao whose origins are unknown. Did you even consider all the men, women, and children who care about you?"

Lu Baoyun gripped Lu Yi's hand tightly, as if afraid that if she let go, she would never be able to hold it again.

But only for a moment.

She then felt a gaze that was gradually cooling down slowly seeping into her bones, and the chill immediately spread to her limbs and bones.

My fingers started to go numb, and I involuntarily loosened my grip on the soft sleeves of my clothes.

A sharp, stinging pain rose up from the bottom of my heart, one after another.

"You haven't forgiven me yet, have you?"

Tears streamed down her face as she looked up and sobbed uncontrollably.

forgive?

Lu Yi looked down at her a few times, not understanding what he had done to cause her to misunderstand.

"You don't want Gu Huainan to go, and neither do I."

Lu Yi turned his back, coldly uttered those words, and strode away.

Lu Baoyun watched his retreating figure and shook her head desperately.

She had tried for a year, only to find out it was all wishful thinking on her part.

Thinking about this, she suddenly realized that she had overlooked the most important question.

Lu Yi hadn't even forgiven her, so how could he easily forgive Lu Baoqi, who had personally handed the poisoned soup to Lu Gengsheng?

She touched her face haphazardly and staggered after him.

Seeing Lu Yi standing in front of Gu Keke's bed, silently watching her, she mustered her courage again and pulled him out.

"Yi'er, tell me the truth, why did you help your third sister fulfill her dream?"

When Lu Baoqi has no acting jobs, she is not worried at all.

Being a bystander is fine; at least you won't become the target of public criticism.

But now, Lu Baoqi is a top star. If this dream could be shattered at any time, how can Lu Baoqi accept it?

She's mentally ill to begin with!

Isn't this going to kill her?

“Lu Baoyun, you are the only one in the entire Lu family who is truly clear-headed. Do you really not know why?”

Lu Yi's eyes were deep and intense.

The icy reply sent a jolt through Lu Baoyun's heart, as if she'd been electrocuted.

Lost in thought, Lu Yi had already gone downstairs.

From that day on, Lu Baoyun never saw Lu Yi again.

Even though the mother and her daughters stayed at the Huo family's house for a while, they didn't find out anything.

All I saw were several groups of luxury cars coming and going in the yard.

Second Sister Lu Baofei and Huo Jingxi have become quite close.

Sometimes the two would chat and laugh, and sometimes they would argue so fiercely that everyone was terrified.

Aside from occasionally going out, Du Guanglong spent most of his time wandering around the courtyard with a group of bodyguards.

Lu Baoqi was in a break from her schedule and finally had a chance to relax, so she spent every day playing with Gu Keke.

Lu Baoyun often felt that she was the only one who was detached from the situation, becoming a spectator in other people's lives.

Finally, Lu Baofei packed up a large stack of documents and prepared to return to Jiangzhou.

“I know Baoqi isn’t going back. Baoyun and Keke, what about you two?”
