Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Fox's Tail



Lu Huai turned and left the hospital, only to bump into Xie Junyang, who had come to find Xu Yanshu.

What are you doing here?

"Uncle Xie, it's been a long time!" Lu Huai responded calmly, without any sign of panic, and then slowly replied, "I've come to visit Grandma Yan Shu."

No, Xie Junyang frowned upon hearing this. Just because Huan Yu didn't understand didn't mean he was confused. There had always been a tense standoff between Lu Huai and Xu Yanshu.

Given Lu Huai's character, it's already good enough that he didn't kick someone when they're down at this time; how could he possibly come to visit out of kindness?

Xie Junyang's gaze towards Lu Huai became increasingly inquisitive. After clearing his throat, he spoke in a deep voice,

"I think I've made myself very clear before. I hope you stay as far away from Huan Yu as possible. I hope you'll take this to heart, otherwise I'm sure I might do something else!"

A ruthless glint flashed deep in Lu Huai's eyes, and his expression changed almost imperceptibly.

The Lu family has already been forced into bankruptcy. What more does he want now?

"Uncle Xie, I don't know why you misunderstand me like this. Huanyu and I are just good friends now."

"Whether we stay in touch or not isn't up to me alone. Huanyu has always been a loyal and affectionate person. If I suddenly distance myself from her, she'll definitely be heartbroken!" Lu Huai said, shrugging helplessly.

hehe--

Xie Junyang suddenly sneered twice. Judging from these words, it seemed that Huan Yu was eager to throw herself at him.

He knew his daughter's personality and temperament well. If Lu Huai hadn't been scheming and manipulative, Huan Yu definitely wouldn't have continued to get entangled with this man despite his repeated warnings.

Right now, he's still putting on an act in front of me, like a prostitute trying to maintain a virtuous image.

With a serious expression, Xie Junyang gave the person a cold look before speaking to himself, "I don't care what she thinks, I only know that I have warned you repeatedly."

“If I find out that you are still secretly seeing each other, then your Lu family may not be able to stay in Kyoto.”

Startled by the other party's powerful aura, Lu Huai unconsciously took a step back. After realizing what had happened, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He mumbled a couple of answers and then turned and fled in panic.

So, why would Huan Yu fall for such a blustering but cowardly good-for-nothing?!

Xie Junyang frowned in disgust, sighed helplessly, then turned to the butler behind him and began to give instructions.

"Call Huanyu and ask her where she is now."

The butler did as instructed and went to the side to make a phone call. A few minutes later, he turned back and said, "Master, Miss is at the apartment right now."

...

Haicheng Apartments.

Xie Junyang sat upright on the sofa, his expression solemn. "I'm asking you, is Grandma Yan Shu's fainting this time related to Lu Huai?"

"Xu Yanshu came to you to complain again?" Xie Huanyu looked up in surprise and blurted out.

The butler, who had been standing to the side, stepped forward to explain, "Miss, you've misunderstood."

"The master originally went to the hospital to see Mr. Xu, but he ran into Young Master Lu at the door. Young Master Lu said he was going to visit the old lady!"

What is Ah Huai doing at the hospital? Doesn't he think things are chaotic enough already?

Xie Huanyu was slightly taken aback, not expecting it to be like this. She unconsciously frowned, her expression turning somewhat unpleasant.

His suspicions were confirmed, and Xie Junyang's expression grew increasingly serious. No one visits a temple without a reason; it seemed Lu Huai had gone to the hospital today to sound him out.

"So you knew?"

"I... Ah Huai did go to the sanatorium that day, but he only went to see Grandma. Grandma's fainting had nothing to do with Ah Huai," Xie Huanyu stammered as she explained.

Only she would believe such nonsense!

Xie Junyang snorted coldly, annoyed. With Xu Yanshu's abilities and methods, it probably wouldn't be long before he found out about Lu Huai, or rather, he already knew something.

"What if it turns out that Lu Huai is involved in the whole thing? What are you going to do?"

What does she mean by "what she plans to do"? Judging from this, it seems that her father also thinks he will protect Lu Huai in this matter.

Xie Huanyu frowned impatiently and replied without hesitation, "If it really is him, then we'll deal with it as appropriate. Everyone has to pay the price for their actions."

"But Dad, I think we shouldn't easily suspect others without evidence."

I don't know why my father and Xu Yanshu both felt that they would protect Ah Huai on such a major issue of right and wrong.

She was willing to believe Ah Huai, but if her grandmother's fainting was really caused by him, she wouldn't cover for him in any way.

That's quite a strong statement!

Xie Junyang was so angry that he laughed. This girl still believed in Lu Huai to this day, which made him hate him even more.

"I'm reminding you one last time, stay away from that guy Lu Huai, and don't even think about getting involved in these things."

"You'd be better off spending your time on Yan Shu and taking him to the hospital more often!"

You don't know until you compare. After seeing Lu Huai's despicable face, he felt even more that Xu Yanshu was more suitable for his daughter.

But they didn't appreciate it...

Xie Huanyu hesitated, her aura instantly weakening, and she pouted dejectedly.

She now wants to get along well with Xu Yanshu, but he always seems to keep her at arm's length.

When we occasionally bump into each other at the company, he doesn't even bother to greet me, let alone give me a second glance; he's excessively indifferent.

Seeing his daughter's awkwardness, Xie Junyang instantly understood what was going on. He was surprised but also pleasantly surprised; Huanyu had finally come to her senses.

However, given Xu Yanshu's current attitude, it's unlikely that he will take the initiative to bow down to his daughter.

“Smart people know how to be flexible. No matter how capable Sun Wukong is, he can’t escape the Buddha’s Five Finger Mountain. It wouldn’t hurt for you to apologize to Xu Yanshu for now.”

"There will be plenty of opportunities to teach him a lesson later, and as long as I'm here, Xu Yanshu won't dare to really bully you!"

this……

Xie Huanyu seemed to be thinking about this, and it seemed that what he said made sense.

Previously, she was always worried that if she took the initiative too easily, she would be at a disadvantage, and she was afraid that Xu Yanshu would take advantage of her and ride on her head.

But now that I think about it, it seems I was overthinking it. She still has the Xie family backing her up. Even if he wanted to rebel, he would have to consider his own strength first.

"Dad, I know what to do."

Xie Junyang nodded in satisfaction, his gaze towards his daughter gradually softening with affection. "That's right. Victory or defeat isn't something that happens in a short time. You must always remember that you have the Xie family as your strong backing!"
