Chapter 130 Lying
More importantly, Xu Qingsui always had a feeling that this uncle-master was not as kind and simple as he appeared to be.
The voice in her memory seemed to still echo in her ears, the one she heard on the phone call from Mr. Lu outside the study, and who was the man named Yang on the phone?
"Actually, there is a way for you to investigate. It just depends on whether you are willing to do so." Yang Yuanming hesitated to speak.
Xu Qingsui asked quickly: "Master, what solutions do you have? Tell me about it."
"You married into the Lu family and got inside the Lu family. You will definitely be able to find clues. Now, the only person who knows the details of the past is probably Mr. Lu, the person involved."
Xu Qingsui looked at the middle-aged man in front of him steadily and asked leisurely, "Master, do you know what the Lu family will do next after marrying me?"
"The next step is for them to legitimately take those antiques for themselves." Yang Yuanming said, "But as the saying goes, you can't get a tiger cub without risking it. If you want to find out the truth of what happened back then, this may be the only way."
"But I can't afford to take the risk. Even if I don't use this method, there must be other ways. Uncle Master, the Lu family's grandfather and grandson are not easy to deal with. If we let them get what they want, my brother and I will lose our lives in the next step. By then, not only will we not be able to get back our grandparents' relics, but we won't even be able to wait until the day when the truth comes out!"
Xu Qingsui recalled that when Mr. Lu told her that her brother's illness could only be treated slowly in the hospital and could not be cured directly, she was naive at that time and wholeheartedly trusted this seemingly kind old man.
It was not until later when Lu Jingyu threatened her with her brother again and again that she realized that her brother was just a tool for the Lu family to control her, and they had never thought about truly healing her brother.
As long as her brother was hanging on to his last breath, lying in the hospital forever, she would give in to them and absolutely obey the conditions they proposed.
If she hadn't met Huo Xilin later, she would probably not be able to escape the control of the Lu family until now, and her brother would have spent his whole life in bed.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Yang Yuanming's face: "I was just talking casually. I didn't think of the hidden dangers you mentioned."
"I know that you, Uncle Master, have good intentions as well." Xu Qingsui regained his composure and looked directly at the man opposite him: "Uncle Master, did you know Master Lu before? Have you had any contact with him?"
Yang Yuanming's eyes immediately began to evade, not daring to look her in the eye, and he said unnaturally, "No, we have never been in touch."
"Really? I heard Mr. Lu mention you casually before." Xu Qingsui stared at him intently.
"What did he say about me?" Yang Yuanming asked immediately. Even though he tried his best to remain calm, Xu Qingsui still saw a kind of panic in his eyes.
What is he afraid of?
He did not deny knowing Mr. Lu, so they must have had contact before, otherwise he would not be so panicked and scared. He was obviously worried that Mr. Lu would say something unfavorable to him. From this, it seems that he was lying.
"I didn't say much, just talked about some deals between you and me." Xu Qingsui said meaningfully. She just wanted to give it a try and trick him.
Because she was not sure whether the person who called Mr. Lu was him.
Yang Yuanming didn't speak for a long while. He looked at Xu Qingsui warily. After a long while, he smiled and said, "My nephew is really good at joking. Master Lu and I are not familiar with each other. How can there be any deal? I guess you heard it wrong. The deal is between Master Lu and your grandfather."
After Yang Yuanming finished speaking, he glanced at the time and said in surprise, "Ah, it's so late. I have something else to do. I should go now. Take your time eating, and we'll meet again some other day if we're lucky."
After saying this, Yang Yuanming stood up and left without waiting for Xu Qingsui to react.
Watching his leaving back, Xu Qingsui fell into deep thought. If she had only suspected before, now she was somewhat certain that there might really be some kind of deal between her uncle and Master Lu, and this deal was very likely related to the Xu family's affairs.
He said so much to me today just to convince me to marry into the Lu family. What role did he play in it?
Yang Yuanming came out of the restaurant, found a secluded corner, looked around and made sure that there was no one there. Then he took out his cell phone and dialed an unremarked number.
After a while, the phone was connected, and an old voice came from the other end: "How is it going?"
"She's too cautious to be fooled." Yang Yuanming cursed and asked directly: "Did you tell her about what happened between you and me?"
"No!" Mr. Lu denied it outright. After a while, he seemed to remember something and said, "But the time I contacted you a few years ago, she was standing outside the study. I'm not sure if she heard anything."
"At the beginning, I suggested that the two siblings be killed to prevent future troubles. You were too greedy to give me one-third of my inheritance. Now you have reaped the fruits of your own labor. The tree has grown into a big tree. It is difficult to manipulate it anymore." Yang Yuanming said with emotion: "I have tried the method you mentioned. It doesn't work. The money we agreed on before will be deposited into my account. From now on, I will not interfere in your affairs."
Mr. Lu laughed and said, "Nephew Yang, we are already tied together. If you want to get out of this situation, it won't be that easy, right?"
Yang Yuanming cursed inwardly and said angrily: "Master Lu, don't go too far. I only get a few dollars, why should I bear the same risk as you?"
Master Lu replied calmly, "Don't forget that you were also responsible for what happened back then. Now that Xu Qingsui has become suspicious, it's only a matter of time before the truth is revealed. If that day comes, do you think you can stay out of it?"
Yang Yuanming felt very uncomfortable feeling of being threatened.
He asked impatiently, "So what else do you want? I've already done what you asked me to do. There's nothing I can do if she doesn't fall for it."
"Just like you said back then, uproot the weeds!"
"Mr. Lu, are you going to push me to be the scapegoat?" Yang Yuanming is not a fool.
The reason he was able to make that suggestion back then was because there was no one left in the Xu family, and it would be as easy for the two children to kill them as it would be to kill an ant.
But things are different now. Xu Qingsui is becoming more and more powerful. He is on good terms with the older generation such as Zhang Maocai. He also knows the heir of the Xu family. It is said that he also has a relationship with the Huo family. If he is not careful, he will be the one to die.
Mr. Lu must have known how serious this was, that's why he brought him back.
When Yang Yuanming received the news, he thought he had gotten a good deal, but now he realized that he had been fooled by Mr. Lu again.
