Chapter 98
Qiao Yu's heart skipped a beat. She first glanced at Lu Shangyi's reaction, and then stared at him.
The other person smiled guiltily and quickly hid behind their companion, trying to minimize their presence. This caused a stir, and the area gradually returned to normal, with low murmurs rising and falling. Ye Yunjian turned his head; the girl's ears were slightly red.
Lu Shangyi remained calm, making it impossible to tell whether she had actually heard what she had just said.
She strode towards the three of them, her gaze first falling on Jiang Mei, and said succinctly, "Come with me to the hospital."
Jiang Mei looked bewildered, her dark eyes carrying an indescribable meaning. "Has something happened to Grandpa again?" But that shouldn't be the case. She remembered the family's nanny saying that Lu Yi's condition had stabilized, and apart from having to lie in bed and be cared for for the rest of his life, everything was fine.
“He’s not my father.” Lu Shangyi’s voice was calm, her deep eyes fixed on the alpha whose brows were slightly furrowed. “He is your father.”
Jiang Mei suddenly looked up, her expression filled with disbelief, "My father?"
Lu Shangyi didn't seem inclined to explain further, and Jiang Mei, seeing her serious expression, couldn't help but stand up. Although Lu Shenghui wasn't good to her, he was still her nominal father—she was just too curious to know what kind of trouble a man like Lu Shenghui could get into.
Is it really impossible to have my aunt come and invite me over in person?
Qiao Yu glanced at Lu Shangyi several times, but he ignored her. She didn't care and quickly stood up, saying, "I'll go too."
Lu Shangyi and Jiang Mei both turned to look at her. Looking embarrassed, Qiao Yu touched her nose and, with a guilty conscience, said, "After all, Uncle Lu used to be very good to me, so it's only natural for me to go see him after he got into trouble."
Uncle Lu? Lu Shangyi raised an eyebrow in surprise.
If Lu Shenghui has become an uncle, then wouldn't I become an aunt too?
His dark eyes were fixed on the smirking girl until she seemed to lose all sense of unease. Finally, Lu Shangyi withdrew his gaze and nodded slightly in agreement. Ye Yunjian, incredulous, rested his chin on his hand. Had Lu Shenghui gotten into trouble again?
The Lu family has really been plagued by misfortunes lately.
Ye Yunjian's sharp eyes swept over Lu Shangyi, and after a moment, he straightened his long hair and said, "I'll go too."
Seeing everyone looking over, Ye Yunjian smiled and met Lu Shangyi's eyes, "You've already taken her away, what's the point of me staying here? I might as well go and see what's going on since I didn't get along with Lu Shenghui before.
Qiao Yu: "..."
Jiang Mei looked up at Ye Yunjian, but didn't say anything. Her thick eyelashes drooped down, obscuring her eyes and revealing no emotion.
Because there were valid reasons, the teachers and classmates didn't try to persuade them to stay. Mainly, even if they wanted to, they couldn't, so it was better to let a few people go. With Ye Yunjian gone, they could have more fun and enjoy themselves. Otherwise, having such a powerful alpha sitting there, even without saying a word, was enough to create psychological pressure.
The group quickly arrived at the hospital. The surgery was still ongoing. Mrs. Lu was somewhat surprised to see Ye Yunjian and was about to speak when the operating room door opened. The doctor nodded to Mrs. Lu, "Everything went smoothly. He should wake up tomorrow morning."
Mrs. Lu breathed a sigh of relief and thanked the doctor several times.
Lu Shenghui was admitted to a VIP ward, and by the time he finished all the trivial matters, it was already past midnight. Ye Yunjian stared at the man on the hospital bed with great interest, "I thought he would cause some big trouble after he got out."
They're really useless; they were easily suppressed to this extent by Lu Shangyi.
Upon hearing this, Lu Shangyi turned around and said, "President Ye should go back and rest."
Ye Yunjian smiled as his gaze swept over Qiao Yu, who was sleeping on the sofa. "I'm fine." The woman lazily propped her forehead up. "You should worry about your own brother first."
Ignoring the three words Ye Yunjian emphasized, Lu Shangyi bent down and carefully draped a blanket over Qiao Yu. Omegas are generally weaker, and Qiao Yu had been running around all night, so her stamina was not as good as the alphas'. It was normal for her to fall asleep from exhaustion.
Qiao Yu fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow. She knew nothing of what happened afterward or what was about to happen, nor did she have the energy to find out. Half-asleep, she realized something had fallen on her. She reflexively pulled it over and caught it, then rolled over and settled into a comfortable position, lying down contentedly.
The blanket had barely been put down when she tore it into a mess. Lu Shangyi sighed helplessly, bent down and struggled to pull out some corners to drape it back over her, then straightened up and said, "Let's go outside and talk."
Ye Yunjian curled his lips slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Qiao Yu was awakened by the man's angry voice. She opened her eyes groggily and looked up to see Lu Shenghui's distorted face as he smashed things. Her mind went blank for a moment, and then the words "brother-in-law" just slipped out.
Lu Shenghui paused briefly, then glared at her fiercely, as if she had ordered someone to run him over.
Qiao Yu was startled by his gaze, but fortunately, Lu Shangyi pushed open the door and walked in just in time. After confirming that Qiao Yu was alright, Lu Shangyi walked towards Lu Shenghui, her voice somewhat cold, "You've just woken up, it's not advisable to be too emotional." After a pause, the corners of the woman's mouth slowly curved into a smile, "Otherwise, it will affect the subsequent recovery process."
She phrased it tactfully, but Lu Shenghui immediately understood her unspoken meaning.
She frantically tried to grab Lu Shangyi, but Lu Shangyi quickly dodged her. "Mom was so worried about you that she didn't sleep all night. She's finally fallen asleep now, so don't disturb her rest. Also, I have something to do at the company, so I have to go back soon. I'll call a caregiver to come and take care of you later."
Every word she uttered fueled Lu Shenghui's rage. Ignoring the presence of someone from another family, Lu Shenghui gripped the bedsheets tightly, his eyes bloodshot. "You did it all, didn't you?"
"Dad's accident, my car crash, you orchestrated it all, didn't you?"
Lu Shangyi stopped and slowly turned around. The moment their eyes met, Lu Shenghui saw a deathly calm in his usually gentle sister's eyes. No sorrow, no joy, no anger, no emotional fluctuation—unfathomable and unfathomable.
“What do you think…” Lu Shangyi said softly.
"You're talking nonsense!" At the same time, Qiao Yu, who had regained some of her senses, quickly stood up and accused Lu Shenghui, "Sister Lu has always treated you like family, but I never expected you to slander her like this! She's your own sister!"
Lu Shenghui turned green on the spot.
Noticing Lu Shangyi looking at her, Qiao Yu quickly raised her face, expecting praise. Unfortunately, Lu Shangyi only patted her head and said, "Go out and have breakfast first. I'll come find you after you've calmed him down."
Qiao Yu hesitated for a moment, afraid that Lu Shenghui would lose his temper and do something to hurt Lu Shangyi. But Lu Shangyi was adamant, so Qiao Yu had no choice but to lower her head and say, "Alright then."
Before leaving, she didn't forget to threaten Lu Shenghui, "If anything happens to Sister Lu, my whole family will not let you off the hook!"
Lu Shenghui's lips twitched several times. Qiao Yu strongly suspected that if she hadn't run fast, she might have been the one Lu Shenghui intended to harm. Patting her chest with lingering fear, Qiao Yu grabbed a passing nurse, "Sister, how is my brother-in-law?"
The nurse hadn't originally planned to tell her, but after hearing her hesitate for half a second when she addressed Lu Shenghui, she stopped and said, "It's a bit troublesome. I'm afraid you'll have to spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair."
Qiao Yu was taken aback, then suddenly clapped her hands and laughed, "Oh, what a coincidence!"
system:"?"
“He used to imprison Sister Lu in the Lu family, but who would have thought that the tables would turn and now he's the one imprisoned in the Lu family for life.” Qiao Yu stroked her chin. “Let me think, my father-in-law is paralyzed for life, and my brother-in-law is disabled for life… Sister Lu is finally safe in the Lu family!”
System: "..." This sounds like someone who's specifically targeting the Lu family to make money.
Qiao Yu happily ordered a plate of steamed dumplings, saying, "Today is truly a double blessing."
The college entrance exam is over, and Lu Shangyi is safe. Isn't this a standard happy ending? Suddenly, Qiao Yu sighed wistfully and asked the system, "Have you fixed that glitch yet?"
The system stammered, "Soon."
Qiao Yu had no hope of the system's promise of speed. Halfway through their steamed dumplings, Lu Shangyi came out and sat down in front of her. His gaze was strange, as if it contained a lot of emotions, but they were too deep for Qiao Yu to guess.
The other person's gaze was so intense that Qiao Yu couldn't resist lowering her eyes and said, "Sister Lu, you should eat something too."
"I've already eaten," Lu Shangyi politely declined. "I'll take you home after you finish eating."
Go home? Go home what? The college entrance exam is over, it's the perfect time to let loose and have fun, she was even planning to stay out all night. But seeing Lu Shangyi's gaze, she didn't dare to have such a reckless thought, and replied reluctantly, "Okay."
Lu Shangyi was indeed very busy, but fortunately, despite the many things that happened in the Lu family, the company's stock remained stable. After dropping Qiao Yu off at home, Lu Shangyi disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Bai Yiyu came out of the house next door. "I thought you weren't planning to go home."
Qiao Yu's body stiffened, and she scratched her head sheepishly, "Aunt Bai, have you been waiting for me all day?"
Bai Yiyu smiled and did not deny it. Madam Qiao came out, first looking her up and down several times, and finally sniffing her body to make sure there was no problem before casually asking, "Where did you go last night?"
"At the hospital."
Bai Yiyu immediately looked up, a barely perceptible hint of tension in her eyes.
"When Lu Shenghui was in a car accident, I went along to check on him when Sister Lu came to pick up Jiang Mei." Qiao Yu said with a serious face, "After all, Sister Lu and I are good friends. If something happens to Lu Shenghui, I can also benefit from it."
Mrs. Qiao seemed speechless at her logic, turned around and went into the house, not bothering to reply at all.
Qiao Yu could only turn to Bai Yiyu expectantly. Bai Yiyu smiled and said, "Yes, yes, whatever Yuyu says is right."
A voice suddenly rang out from inside the room, "Yiyu, stop spoiling her."
Qiao Yu walked in defiantly, "What's wrong? I'm still a high school student, why can't Aunt Bai indulge me?" She grabbed Bai Yiyu's arm, "Aunt Bai is happy to do it, so what?"
In response, Mrs. Joe gave her an even more speechless, gouged-out look.
Bai Yiyu laughed beside her, making Qiao Yu feel rather embarrassed. Letting go of Qiao Yu, Bai Yiyu asked, "What are your plans for the holiday?"
Qiao Yu hadn't really thought about this. "I don't have any plans for now." After thinking for a moment, she added, "Let's see how things go with Sister Lu."
Bai Yiyu stared at her intently for a long while before regaining her composure. "Okay."
Lu Shenghui was discharged from the hospital soon after. He was headstrong and his temper became increasingly volatile. His wife, unable to persuade him otherwise, had to hastily complete the discharge procedures. "But the doctor said your leg still needs to recover, otherwise it will affect your future..."
Lu Shenghui slammed the door shut, showing no patience whatsoever to listen to the rest.
Standing silently in place, Mrs. Lu sighed, shook her head, and carefully instructed the servants to take good care of her son. After giving her instructions, she looked up at the closed door one last time, then picked up her bag and quietly left the Lu family home.
Lu Shenghui's mood worsened day by day, and to make matters worse, he was now confined to a wheelchair, making movement extremely difficult. After some time, when his mood had calmed down a bit, he opened the door in his wheelchair, only to be stopped by two bodyguard-like figures. "Young Master Lu, please wait."
"Get out of my way." Lu Shenghui said coldly and prepared to leave, but was stopped again. "Mr. Lu said that your health is not suitable for going out."
Lu Shenghui quickly realized what was happening and looked up in disbelief, "She's keeping me under house arrest?!"
“Young Master Lu, you’re overthinking it,” the bodyguard said. “Mr. Lu is just worried about your safety.”
All talk and no action. Unable to force his way in, Lu Shenghui could only return to his room, seething with anger. His phone had been lost during the accident, and now, isolated in this small room, he couldn't contact any of his former confidants to plan anything; he couldn't even see a single other living person.
Lu Shangyi didn't go home, and neither did Madam Lu. Apart from a few servants and two bodyguards, there was practically no one else in the house.
Lu Shenghui's face darkened, his anger growing stronger.
He was furious for almost half a month, during which he saw news about Lu Shangyi on TV every day. The once sickly omega was now the radiant and admired head of the Lu family. In just a few months, the industry's evaluation of her had risen again and again, even comparable to that of the ancestor who laid a solid foundation for the Lu family.
Lu Shenghui smashed cup after cup, but unable to move freely, he was powerless to do anything but watch as the person he had once suppressed thrived.
As Lu Shangyi's position became increasingly secure, Qiao Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, an opportunity arose to be with Lu Shangyi, and without a second thought, she approached her. The other woman seemed somewhat surprised to see her, but immediately nodded and smiled gently.
Qiao Yu was so charmed by her laughter that she quickly took small steps closer and said, "Congratulations, Sister Lu."
Under Lu Shangyi's management, the company is thriving, and Lu Shangyi's personal studio is also achieving remarkable success. With one hit drama after another being broadcast, the money earned has already exceeded the investment cost several times over, and outsiders praise Lu Shangyi for her sharp vision and intelligence.
With several accolades combined, Lu Shangyi was practically the most sought-after eligible bachelor in the capital, bar none. If Madam Lu hadn't gone on a trip to relax, the Lu family's doorstep would probably have been worn down by suitors.
Qiao Yu stared at Lu Shangyi and felt a pang of heartache. Being able to look but not touch was too much of a torment!
Perhaps her gaze was too ambiguous, Lu Shangyi raised an eyebrow slightly, "Shall we chat over there?"
Qiao Yu shook her head reflexively, then quickly composed herself. Lu Shangyi chuckled lightly, not forcing her, but the look he gave her before leaving was quite meaningful.
This scene was captured by the camera. Lu Shenghui coldly watched the scene on the TV and called to the young girl who came in to deliver the food.
After returning home, Qiao Yu's right eyelid kept twitching, but after discussing it with the system for a long time, they still couldn't come up with a solution. The system said, "Host, you're just scaring yourself. The security in the community is excellent, and the residents are all highly educated people. Nothing unexpected will happen."
Qiao Yu didn't speak. She clearly remembered that before the accident happened in that world, her right eyelid had been twitching for several days in a row.
She had some vague guesses in her mind, but seeing the system's dull and clueless appearance, she was still somewhat uncertain.
However, just in case, Qiao Yu quickly arranged her next schedule. Song Wanzi was quite surprised when she received Qiao Yu's call, and even more surprised when she heard Qiao Yu invite her to dinner. However, she did not hesitate and immediately put aside what she was doing, "Okay, tonight it is."
The agent, standing behind Song Wanzi, couldn't help but say, "Wanzi, you're meeting with investors tonight..."
"Reject it for me." Song Wanzi turned around, smiling. "It's just a meal, it doesn't have to be today."
The agent: "..." It's just a meal, you don't necessarily have to go see Miss Qiao at this time. But she only dared to complain silently in her heart, and dared not say it out loud.
The agent started to worry again. The other party was no small figure, and if they stood him up this time, it would be difficult to work together in the future.
Helpless, she finally picked up her phone, closed her eyes, and said to the investor with a determined look, "Mr. Wang, I'm so sorry, Ms. Song was forced by her family to go on a blind date tonight..." An unhappy voice immediately came from the other end of the line. The agent choked up and then mumbled, "Mr. Wang, our Wanzi's blind date is Ms. Qiao Yu from the Qiao family."
After a moment of silence, Mr. Wang's attitude changed completely. "Oh, is that so? Then tell Miss Song to go without worry. We can talk about dinner another day when she has time. There's no rush."
The agent, holding the phone, sighed with emotion, never expecting that Qiao Yu's name would be so useful.
Qiao Yu sneezed twice violently, rubbing her nose with a puzzled look on her face. She then became alert and asked, "System, is someone trying to murder me?"
“Host, I think you’re overthinking it.” After a moment, the system said again, “...If you’re really bored, host, go and cause trouble for the alphas in the capital.”
Qiao Yu: "?"
It was already evening when Qiao Yu met Song Wanzi. Looking silently at the time on her phone, Qiao Yu suddenly smiled, "Sister Song, what a coincidence! We met at the same time as the first time we met."
Song Wanzi paused for a moment, then remembered the scene from back then. Elegantly smoothing her long, curly hair, Song Wanzi smiled and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of me today?"
That's quite unusual.
Qiao Yu shamelessly handed the menu to Song Wanzi, "Of course I missed you, Sister Song." She blinked innocently, "Sister, you've been so busy lately that I haven't seen you at all. If I didn't occasionally see news about you online, I would have thought you were going to retire from the entertainment industry."
"Do you want me to retire from the entertainment industry?" Song Wanzi rested her chin on her hand, her smile fading, and her alluring eyes made Qiao Yu feel like her bones were melting.
Qiao Yu hesitated, remaining silent. The woman's smile deepened, "Don't want to?"
It would be a great pity if such a stunningly beautiful woman were to retire from public life. Qiao Yu nodded and then shook her head, "Although I don't want to, your happiness is the most important thing, sister."
Song Wanzi has won every award she could get, reaching a height that others might never achieve in several lifetimes. While staying in the entertainment industry is what many people hope for, Song Wanzi has worked diligently for the past ten years, rarely taking breaks or vacations. Qiao Yu naturally hopes she can relax a little.
The girl's expression was so conflicted and heavy that Song Wanzi couldn't help but flick her forehead. "You're so young, why are you worrying so much? It's not like we won't see each other again."
"Why are you so bothered if I'm not bothered?"
Qiao Yu pouted and covered the spot where Song Wanzi had flicked her, feigning grievance, "It hurts."
Staring into the other person's watery eyes, Song Wanzi could only quickly apologize, "Okay, okay, it was my fault, I apologize to you."
Qiao Yu then gave up.
Rare moments alone together, Song Wanzi cherished them dearly, even feeling as if it were a dream, so unreal. Yet Qiao Yu was undeniably right beside her, within easy reach.
She stared at Qiao Yu without moving. Qiao Yu suddenly turned her head and said hesitantly, "Sister Song."
The woman responded lazily, "Hmm?"
"If Jiang Mei argues with Sister Lu again in the future, could you help take her in?" Qiao Yu asked seriously. Seeing Song Wanzi stop, Qiao Yu said, "You know she's stubborn and won't listen to most people. Only you, Sister Song, can handle her."
Song Wanzi was unsure whether to be happy that her daughter trusted her so much or angry that she was so afraid of her.
Shifting her position, Song Wanzi leaned closer to her. "So you mean," she said, emphasizing each word, "that I'm fierce?"
Qiao Yu: "..." She immediately shut up.
It wasn't until she saw the other woman's smiling eyes that Qiao Yu realized the woman was deliberately teasing her again. Wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, Qiao Yu puffed out her cheeks and said, "Sister, how old are you? Why are you still bullying me like this?"
"I'm bullying people?" Song Wanzi narrowed her eyes. "If I were bullying people, you wouldn't be standing in front of me unharmed right now."
Qiao Yu was stunned: "..." Is this the world of adult alphas?
She immediately slipped away, still feeling a bit shaken even after getting into the car. The fleeting pheromones from Song Wanzi told her that the other woman wasn't joking. She quickly patted her chest, feeling a bit apprehensive about Ye Yunjian, her next potential date.
Fortunately, Ye Yunjian was perfectly normal. However, she would occasionally stare intently at Qiao Yu while she was speaking, looking thoughtful. But the woman didn't show much and thoroughly enjoyed spending the day alone with Qiao Yu.
Just before leaving, Ye Yunjian suddenly seemed to realize something, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked with a dangerous glint in his eyes, "Besides me, who else have you met?"
Qiao Yu didn't hide anything, "Sister Song."
It wasn't Lu Shangyi? Then it's alright. Ye Yunjian immediately relaxed and cheerfully said, "Get some rest."
Qiao Yu stared at her with a bewildered expression as she switched between three different expressions before rolling up the car window. Although she didn't know whether an accident or tomorrow would come first, Qiao Yu remained remarkably calm, even harboring a faint sense of anticipation. It was just a pity she had to attend a friend's birthday party tomorrow; otherwise, she would have liked to carefully consider the situation.
Although the young lady's family wasn't extremely wealthy, they were still quite formidable. Besides her playmates, some of her parents' friends also came over that day. When Qiao Yu turned around, she saw Lu Shangyi and Ye Yunjian walking in with great presence, and she almost hid on the spot.
That wasn't all; Song Wanzi arrived shortly after.
Now, Song Wanzi has gradually faded from the public eye. As the de facto head of the Song family, she spends more time attending events related to family power. Being the head of a family is not easy; she needs to carefully maintain relationships with all parties involved, especially now that she has just assumed the position, she needs to manage interpersonal relationships even more effectively.
However, there's no need for someone like Bai Yiyu. Firstly, because of the disparity in their status, and secondly, because if Bai Yiyu were to appear, she would steal the spotlight from others, causing the guests to lose interest in anything else and only think about currying favor and establishing connections. Therefore, it would be better if she didn't come at all.
Qiao Yu hid behind Tang Shu. Tang Shu wanted to push her away, but after trying several times, she couldn't manage it. She could only roll her eyes and let Qiao Yu go. "I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to have met you."
Qiao Yu looked up. "Thank you. I like you too."
Tang Shu: "..." I've never been this speechless in my nine lifetimes.
If it weren't for Meng E's sake, she would have loved to sever all ties with Qiao Yu and never see her again. However, considering that Qiao Yu had repeatedly helped Meng E's father when he was sick, Tang Shu could only suppress her impatience and let Qiao Yu hide behind her. But she still reminded her, "Be careful, I have a girlfriend."
She proudly raised her chin, "I'm a chaste and obedient Omega, I never have contact with other women."
"Isn't this just being henpecked?"
Seeing Tang Shu's face darken, Qiao Yu quickly made her escape. Tang Shu stomped her foot angrily, glaring fiercely at her retreating figure, "One day you'll end up like me!" She paused, then realized that the word "end up" was a bit inappropriate—being managed by a girlfriend is practically the happiest thing in the world, okay?
Other single guys who want to be taken care of don't even have girlfriends yet.
Qiao Yu's eyelids twitched more and more violently, and she also felt a little flustered and short of breath. She looked around a few times, but didn't find anything unusual.
Ye Yunjian leaned against the table, watching Lu Shangyi with amusement. Lu Shangyi indifferently lifted her eyelids, her face expressionless. Her nonchalant attitude only made Ye Yunjian happier. The little girl had made an appointment with her, but not with Lu Shangyi, which gave her a strange sense of victory.
Ye Yunjian glanced towards the door and asked, "Why didn't your niece come..." He was only halfway through his sentence when Jiang Mei's figure slowly came into view. Ye Yunjian shut his mouth. "I really shouldn't have asked that."
Young people are open-minded and willing to let go of their pride, unlike those timid and cunning old foxes. Their enthusiasm and deep affection are almost touching.
Seeing Jiang Mei looking around searching for someone, Ye Yunjian quickly straightened his back. "You go ahead with your work, I won't disturb you." The woman's purpose was obvious; she was clearly looking for Qiao Yu, just like Jiang Mei. Although Ye Yunjian didn't take such a competitor seriously, he was always better off not doing it arbitrarily.
Qiao Yu was just wandering around aimlessly when Jiang Mei stopped her, so she decided to stop and chat for a bit.
After watching Ye Yunjian leave, Lu Shangyi turned to turn around, but unexpectedly caught sight of a figure in a wheelchair. Her heart tightened instantly, and Lu Shangyi's expression changed drastically. Her knuckles gripping her phone turned white. "Where's the person I told you to look for?"
The person on the other end of the phone looked puzzled. "Young Master Lu is in his own room..." The call was abruptly cut off before the words were finished.
Lu Shangyi kept a calm face and tried her best to control her emotions as she followed without making a sound. Lu Shenghui's hard-won escape was definitely not just for attending the birthday of a girl he had never met before. He might have arranged to meet someone, or he might have some other plan for retaliation.
As she pondered, the other person seemed to notice her following them, suddenly turned around and gave a very strange smile, then looked in another direction.
Lu Shangyi stopped in her tracks and subconsciously followed Lu Shenghui's gaze.
The girl stood there all alone, looking completely bewildered. Someone had just called Qiao Yu here, saying that Lu Shangyi had something to say to her, but after she followed the person over, Lu Shangyi had not yet shown up.
After frowning and pondering for a moment, Qiao Yu looked up again and finally saw the woman not far away.
She was tall and slender, dressed in a clean and crisp women's suit, and her eyes seemed to hold a deep affection that was irresistible. Qiao Yu couldn't help but feel a little proud, "Sister Lu is still recruiting as always."
She used to be so delicate and pitiful that she evoked a strong protective instinct in people. Now that she's become strong, her pheromones are even more alluring, making people want to pounce on her.
Qiao Yu was admiring the scene when she noticed the woman's expression suddenly change. Then, the woman moved swiftly, her eyes filled with barely concealed anxiety, and ran towards her. Qiao Yu was taken aback, and asked the system, somewhat confused, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"If Sister Lu and I were to be all lovey-dovey and hugging in public, wouldn't that be..."
"Yu Yu!" Another urgent and panicked voice suddenly rang out from the other side. Qiao Yu subconsciously turned around, but in the instant she turned and looked up, she saw a whole piece of the ceiling above her head had fallen off. The cement mixed with steel bars, along with the luxurious and huge heavy crystal chandelier, were falling down all at once, with an unstoppable force like the collapse of the earth and the destruction of the mountains.
Qiao Yu's face turned pale.
Ye Yunjian and Jiang Mei noticed the situation at the same time, but before they could take any action, someone rushed over without hesitation and forcefully shielded the small figure in their arms.
The crowd was in chaos. Jiang Mei stared blankly at the spot where the two people were buried, her legs going weak.
Lu Shenghui, having received an unexpected delight, admired the scene for a while before preparing to turn and flee. However, just as he turned, Ye Yunjian stared at him with reddened eyes. "Where do you think you're going?" Her delicate high heel stepped onto the man's still-feeling leg, and Ye Yunjian smiled charmingly. "Hmm?"
