She had no appetite for any soup or stew. Lu Baofei scrolled through her phone and finally stopped at Fan Huijun's name.

【Miss Fan】is the nickname Lu Baofei gave her.

After thinking it over, she dialed the number.

"Miss Fan, a new teahouse has opened on Yingbin Avenue. I heard they have rare, high-quality Da Hong Pao tea from the original mother trees. Would you like to try it?"

She was used to being high and mighty at work and rarely spoke in a consultative tone.

Her choice of a tea room was a well-thought-out decision.

A woman like Fan Huijun who chooses to take care of her family must have unspeakable reasons for it.

Coffee tastes bitter, so if I offer to buy her coffee, she might not agree.

As he expected, Fan Huijun hesitated for a moment, then readily agreed.

"Don't drive, I'm just stopping by your place to buy something, can I give you a ride?"

Lu Baofei made another overture.

Fan Huijun readily agreed.

The tea room is elegant, with simple line drawings framed in exquisite Jiangnan-style brocade and hung on the walls in a staggered manner.

After ordering tea, Lu Baofei began to exchange pleasantries.

"I saw your WeChat Moments. The child is adorable. He should be walking by now, right?"

Fan Huijun smiled gently, "It's time for him to learn, but the elders won't allow it, saying that if a child walks too early, he'll suffer a lot in the future."

Upon hearing the word "bitter," Lu Baofei immediately pictured Lu Yi.

Does Lu Yi start walking early?

A strange question arose in her mind.

What do your children mean to you?

Lu Baofei's seemingly random remark startled Fan Huijun, who was rinsing the teaware.

It seems she has never thought about this question.

The marriage went smoothly, and then the child came along. What does that mean, and what could it signify?

She placed the kettle on the stove, picked up a teacup, gracefully twirled her wrist twice, and poured out the water.

"When people grow up, they become adults, just like trees grow up and then flower and bear fruit—it's a natural phenomenon. What, you don't want to borrow my seed, do you?"

"I'm telling you beforehand, don't even think about making a move on the men in the Gu family. Huainan is much younger than you, you wouldn't dare!"

This joke completely dispelled Lu Baofei's bad mood that morning.

"You're so annoying. I can't bring myself to bite you. Should I go after someone who has no teeth?"

After the joke was over, silence fell over the tea room.

The clear, bright yellow tea liquor swirled in the fairness cup, releasing a fragrant aroma.

Lu Baofei took the teacup that Fan Huijun had poured for her, lowered her eyes and said, "How is Yi'er doing lately? I heard that the new project has encountered some trouble!"

Fan Huijun leaned back.

"I knew you invited me because of him, but speaking of which, you're inseparable from the Huo family, so why don't you just ask Huo Jingxi directly?"

"Those old fogies in Fan's Company only come to me when they feel they're losing money. When their pockets are bulging, no one tells me anything. What am I supposed to know?"

She didn't want to reveal more about Lu Yi to the Lu family.

Deep down, I felt that the Lu family was trying to get close to me to steal my person.

She's not going to give up on her good younger brother, whom she could search for three lifetimes with a lantern!

“If I had treated him the way you did, perhaps my company wouldn’t be in this situation where it has to rely on others.”

Recalling her absurd actions, Lu Baofei picked up her teacup and took a sip.

"No, Lu Baofei, don't put all the blame on Yi'er. When you kicked him out, he didn't take anything from you!"

Fan Huijun looked furious.

I seriously doubt the thought process of the Lu family; it's as if they've been invaded by aliens—it's incomprehensible.

"I did not mean that……"

Lu Baofei belatedly realized what was happening.

"I don't care what you mean, in short, whether Yi'er wins or loses, it has absolutely nothing to do with your Lu family!"

"The resistance this time is significant, but that doesn't mean he's isolated and helpless. If drones are Yi'er's dream, even if we empty our medical equipment coffers, my dad and I won't even blink an eye!"

"Could your Lu family do that? Back then, when his arm was broken by the Fourth Miss, you wouldn't even give him a bite to eat, and you even took all the cards from him... "

Fan Huijun raised her hand and accidentally knocked over the teacup. Fortunately, she dodged quickly and was not burned.

Lu Baofei's face flushed red with shame.

Lu Yi had personally asked her for shares in his company, and Lu Baofei guessed it was a test, but she still didn't agree.

How could Fan Huijun, an outsider, go to such lengths for Lu Yi?

Her own brother was taken by her, the Fan family rose to prominence, and now she's being betrayed by Fan Huijun... What is all this...?

The two couldn't agree on anything and the conversation ended abruptly.

It was rare for Fan Huijun to travel alone. Before Lu Baofei could drive the car out of the underground parking garage, she took a taxi to the Fan family home.

"Miss, Mr. Fan has gone to the company. Young Master Yi and Miss Gu are on the second floor. Should we go and call him down?"

When Butler Hua saw that she had come alone, he curiously looked behind her.

Fan Huijun thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "I came by myself and wanted to talk to Yi'er."

The housekeeper understood and had someone from the kitchen bring over a plate of snacks and fruit, which was then served.

When Lu Yi came downstairs, Fan Huijun was looking down at the cat and coffee figurines that Keke had placed on the TV cabinet.

"Sis, are you in a bad mood?"

Fan Huijun toyed with a cat that leaped up to catch a butterfly. "It's all because of Lu Baofei. She said she invited me for tea, but she actually wanted to find out about you!"

Lu Yi laughed and said, "All my information is public, some of which I don't even know myself. Let her be!"

Green Willow Capital, like a ravenous octopus, followed the Huo family's path, conquering territory in Jiangzhou and venturing into various industries.
