At the Gu family's dining table, Gu Huaibei received a call from the front desk of Fanghai Hotel. He frowned, put down his chopsticks, and walked into the courtyard.

What are they investigating?

The hotel receptionist whispered, "Check our hotel's CCTV footage from last night... Mr. Gu, there were minors playing on the rooftop last night. Could that be what they really want to check?"

Gu Huaibei thought it was unlikely.

It's true that Lu Han booked the entire venue, but the person who actually paid for it was Xu, the Lu family's butler.

Furthermore, with Gu Huainan and several of Lin's brothers present, they couldn't do anything outrageous that would alert the police.

"Please cooperate fully and let me know immediately if there are any new developments!"

After hanging up the phone, Gu Huaibei picked up the fish food from the shelf and sprinkled some into the fish pond.

Looking at the ripples, he suddenly remembered Lu Han, who was behaving strangely.

No, it's not just Lu Han, but also Fan Huijun and that melancholy-looking boy...

"Big brother! They had so much fun last night but didn't tell me. I'm going to the hotel today, so you have to make it up to me!"

Gu Keke, wearing pink pajamas, stretched sleepily.

"I'm busy."

Gu Huaibei's train of thought was interrupted by his sister, and he turned and went back to the restaurant with an unhappy expression.

"I don't care, if you don't agree, I'm going to find Dr. Fan."

Gu Huaibei narrowed his eyes and threatened, "You're not allowed to go!"

"Hmph, you stingy person!"

Gu Keke swung her bouncy curly hair upstairs, and when she reappeared, she had transformed into an adorable little girl with exquisite makeup and a puffy dress.

Gu Huaibei was drinking milk, ignoring the girl with a coquettish expression.

Gu Keke grabbed her car keys and entered the elevator with her rosy cheeks puffed out.

Last night, she witnessed her brother being ruthlessly abandoned at the hotel entrance by Dr. Fan, who then drove away with another man. She never expected her brother to defend her like this.

The more you tell her not to go, the more determined she is to go.

She just wanted to see if there was any man in Jiangzhou City who was better than her older brother!

...

The moment the agent saw Lu Yi, his gentle face instantly fell.

"You ruined my client's business, and you still have the nerve to come here?"

Lu Yi was baffled. "Xiao Li, since I gave you the keys, we've only spoken on the phone a few times. When have I ever met your client?"

Xiao Li's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He grabbed a broom, ready to sweep Lu Yi out the door at any moment.

"Don't play dumb with me. That woman's surname is also Lu, and she even said in front of my clients that she wouldn't sell the house!"

"What did you say back then? You said this house was yours alone, that you could make all the decisions, but what happened? You pulled this stunt at the last minute!"

Fan Huijun, who had just parked her car and rushed over, was completely bewildered by the agent's confident explanation.

He whispered behind Lu Yi, "Who else knows about you selling the house?"

Lu Yi seemed thoughtful, "Only Xiao Yue knows, but she wouldn't do that..."

Girls like Liang Shiyue are kind-hearted and gentle; they're not the type to cause trouble.

Even if she wanted to help Lu Yi stop the damage in time, she wouldn't use such a simple and crude method to create trouble for others.

Lu Yi trusted her unconditionally, no matter what.

Fan Huijun was also clueless, and argued, "You've already taken the listing off the shelves, so the commission is over. You should at least return the house keys!"

"key?"

Xiao Li threw down the broom in anger, "You have the nerve to bring me the keys? Isn't that woman your sister? Go ask her!"

My sister?

Is he surnamed Lu?

Lu Yi felt a chill run down his spine. Why were they there again?!

I just severed ties with the Lu family yesterday, but when I opened my eyes today, it seemed that the relationship had miraculously healed itself under the cover of darkness.

When will this ever end...?

"How about I go with you to the Lu family's house and get the key back?"

Fan Huijun couldn't bear to see Lu Yi homeless on the streets.

He didn't want to go home with me, and I felt there was no need to stay in a hotel. If we continued to make do like this, it wouldn't be a solution.

I managed to get a few hours of sleep in the car last night, but there's still a long way to go.

Seeing Lu Yi silently preparing to leave, Xiao Li felt a glimmer of hope. "Are you still going to sell that house or not?"

To be honest, the house is a bit old, but the location is good, and the surrounding amenities are more mature than those of newer developments. Half of the people who viewed the house were already interested.

Xiao Li really didn't want to see the cooked duck fly away like that.

Fan Huijun rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

"You can't even tell who the owner is, and you still have the nerve to ask? Even if it's for sale, I won't contact you!"

Just as the two were about to get into the car, Liang Shiyue ran over, panting.

"Lu Yi, are you alright?"

"I called you last night but you didn't answer. I was so scared!"

She nervously clutched the lunchbox in her hand, looking Lu Yi up and down. When she caught a glimpse of Dr. Fan smirking beside her, she quickly lowered her head shyly.

Lu Yi wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead.

"My phone died, I was hoping to charge it quickly and reply to your message..."

But I can't go home.

Hearing his earnest explanation, Liang Shiyue felt a sweet warmth in her heart and waved her hand, "It's okay, as long as you're alright!"

She hurriedly opened the lunchbox. "You and Dr. Fan haven't eaten yet, have you? These are steamed dumplings my mom made this morning. Try them."

"Here, there's also hot soy milk..."

Fan Huijun felt the light bulb was in the way, but she was really hungry.

"Get in the car, let's eat and talk, don't show off your love in the middle of the road!"

Liang Shiyue blushed to the roots of her ears and picked up a small steamed bun to stuff into her mouth.

"Dr. Fan, what are you saying... Eat this, the shepherd's purse and pork filling..."
