Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Deafening
"It's all your fault that the Lu family is in this state! Get out!"
"Isn't this Qiao Wu, kicked out by the Lu family? They can't even take care of themselves now. I want to see who can protect you, a useless dog."
The moment the car knocked him off the cliff, Qiao Wu closed his eyes and thought: It turns out that the human body also has its limits, and there is also unbearable pain.
The next moment, she opened her eyes without warning, but what she saw was no longer the silent and dark wilderness, but a gorgeous white feather-shaped chandelier. The surroundings were so quiet that it made people uneasy. She raised her hand to cover her chest, and her rapid breathing was accompanied by her violent heartbeat.
She slowly sat up and looked around. The spacious and luxurious suite had everything she needed, including a study and cloakroom. Every piece of furniture and daily necessities was printed with the same Lu family crest. It was a place she was very familiar with in her dreams but could never dream of again.
I dreamed again, and this time I dreamed of the ending.
She didn't come back to her senses for a long time until there was a knock on the door.
"Xiao Wu, are you awake?"
Qiao Wu was stunned for a moment, then stood up, put on his coat and went to open the door.
The man at the door had many white hairs on his head. His back was straight but he was extremely thin and looked sickly. He smiled gently and said, "Dad's words were a bit harsh yesterday. Don't be angry."
Qiao Wu didn't say anything. The man in front of him seemed both strange and familiar.
This is her father, but she hasn't spoken to him for many years. She traveled to the world of this book and wanted to change her future ending bit by bit, but she didn't expect that she would be controlled by the plot and couldn't help herself.
After she turned ten, she was trapped in her body again and could only watch "herself" follow the plot of the book.
In the plot, she is a nameless housekeeper of the top wealthy Lu family. All the members of the Lu family are villains, and she is a troublemaker who helps the evil. Naturally, she also witnessed the ending of "herself", who died without a complete body in the wilderness.
Just yesterday, "I" had a quarrel with my father and they parted on bad terms.
At this moment, Qiao Wu was waiting for "herself" to confront her father again, just like in the past, but she waited for a long time and the air was still silent.
"Wash up and go downstairs for breakfast." Seeing that his daughter's attitude was not as tough as yesterday, Qiao Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief. "I made your favorite food."
Watching his daughter turn around and go to the bathroom without saying a word, Qiao Zhiyi sighed silently and walked downstairs.
I don’t know when it started, but the relationship between him and his daughter became so estranged and antagonistic.
He had a daughter in his old age, his wife passed away early, and he raised his daughter by himself. However, the child who was so obedient and lovely when she was young gradually became a stranger when she grew up, becoming selfish, cunning, ignorant, and unable to distinguish between good and evil.
At first, he suspected that the long-term privileged environment had distorted her sense of right and wrong, so he sent her abroad to study for two years. However, he did not expect that she would become even more aggressive when she came back this time, and wanted to extend her hand into the Lu Group.
He only gave her a few pointers yesterday, but the father and daughter ended up arguing fiercely.
Xiaowu is only twenty-two years old. What should he do in the future?
Hearing footsteps coming from the stairs, Qiao Zhiyi collected his thoughts and looked up, but was stunned the next second.
In recent years, my daughter has been particularly fond of heavy makeup, especially after returning from abroad, she dressed herself up gorgeously and arrogantly. But now there is no trace of makeup on her face, revealing the purest facial features.
She looks like her mother, with a pure beauty that can capture people's heart at first sight. Her eyes are very light and she has a proud and clear character. Now she wears a pair of frameless glasses, which makes her look less sharp.
"Are you nearsighted?" he asked.
"A little bit." Qiao Wu sat down next to his father. Seeing the Western breakfast on the table, he pursed his lips slightly, but still picked up the fork. "I've been busy these days, so it's convenient to wear contact lenses. Contact lenses can dry out my eyes easily."
Qiao Zhiyi was surprised that his daughter would tell him such a small thing. He suppressed his excitement and said, "Frameless glasses are not very comfortable to wear. I will take you to get a different pair some other day."
Qiao Wu: "Okay."
The atmosphere was so harmonious that Qiao Zhiyi couldn't help but want to change it a little bit, at least to prevent his daughter from going astray.
After finishing breakfast, he coughed lightly and said, "Xiao Wu, Dad has no intention of interfering with your work. Dad doesn't ask you to become rich and powerful, but only hopes that you can have a clear conscience and live a happy and safe future."
"Dad, I know." Qiao Wu wiped his mouth clean, looked up and smiled, "With my current age and qualifications, there's nothing wrong with staying in the Lu family. I can learn a lot. There's no such treatment in other jobs."
Seeing her father's still worried look, Qiao Wu felt both bitter and warm in her heart. She had really made her father worry a lot in the past, so she added softly, "Don't worry, I just want to do my job well now."
This time, Qiao Zhiyi really stayed in the chair. Who was the person who had such a big quarrel with him yesterday?
"If you have nothing to do, go outside and bask in the sun." Qiao Wu stood up. "After I'm done with these few days, I'll take you for a follow-up checkup."
Qiao Zhiyi looked at her blankly: "Okay, okay."
Is she just trying to fool herself, or has she really come to her senses?
The Lu family estate is very large. Qiao Wu and her father live in a small villa in the corner. Usually there are small mobility scooters available in the estate, but today she walked to the main house.
Her heart had been beating wildly all the way and never calmed down. From the time she was able to calmly tell her father her inner thoughts to now, she finally felt reality.
She is now Qiao Wu, her true self, not the stupid troublemaker and cannon fodder in the book, and she will not let herself be left dead in the wilderness in the future.
As for the Lu family…what she said to her father was not entirely false.
Qiao Zhiyi has a low level of education but is lucky. When he was young, he was the driver of the old man of the Lu family. Later, he was trusted and became the housekeeper of the Lu family, in charge of all matters big and small in the inner house, and he was loyal all his life.
Therefore, she was taken care of after she was born and grew up in luxury.
But according to the details in her dream, the Lu family was full of villains. The original "she" took over her father's position after he retired due to poor health. She relied on this friendship to move around around everyone in the Lu family and act as a lackey, adding fuel to the fire. She made everyone in the Lu family become more and more desperate and go on the road to death, with no return. In the end, some died and some were imprisoned.
The protagonist of the book has not appeared yet, but the villain of the Lu family has already begun to develop.
Qiao Zhiyi originally hoped that she would stop staying in the Lu family and live her own life, but was rejected by "her" with ulterior motives.
Although Qiao Wu was controlled by the plot, she remembered everything she learned in elementary school. Without exaggeration, at least no one in the family was more versatile than her. With her abilities, she could always thrive wherever she went.
She refused because she knew very well that the people in the Lu family had allowed her to exaggerate over the years because of their childhood friendship. In her distant memory, before she was controlled by the plot, she had a wonderful childhood with everyone in the Lu family.
They shouldn't have ended up like that.
What's more, she didn't do anything wrong, so why would she give up her huge annual salary, luxury cars and mansion and choose to leave?
She doesn't like to escape.
Seven o'clock in the morning.
Qiao Wu arrived at the main house of the Lu family manor on time. All the old and young members of the main family lived here, but the house was too big and the relationship between them was not harmonious, so they basically lived separately and most of the time they didn't see each other for a week.
The servants at the door greeted her politely when they saw her coming: "Housekeeper Qiao."
Qiao Wu nodded, a smile on his lips: "Good morning."
Everyone was surprised.
Not to mention that before going abroad, Qiao Wu always felt that she was also the lady of the master's family, and she held her chin high to the sky, and did not take the servants in the house seriously at all. After returning to the country to succeed the housekeeper, she regarded herself as the master, and treated people and things in a domineering manner, which made people angry.
But today, not only did she say hello, she also changed the style of her makeup and clothes. Although she looked very distant, her tone was approachable, and her every move was full of the elegance of a superior.
Qiao Wu didn't pay attention to the curious gazes of the people behind her. She was indeed very busy these days, busy organizing the basic information of everyone in the family.
The old man of the Lu family is old and unable to handle many things. The younger generations have begun to make their own arrangements and plans independently. In addition, her father Qiao Zhiyi is in poor health and can no longer control these young masters and young ladies. Therefore, the Lu family is not only in disarray, but also has a mess of family affairs.
A week ago, Qiao Wu returned to the country to take over the position of chief housekeeper, but at that time, "she" was obsessed with pleasing everyone and infiltrating the Lu Group, and it was impossible for her to take care of these little things in life, so that the Lu family has been in disarray until now.
Mr. Lu has four children, but his eldest son and his wife died early in a car accident, leaving behind only a daughter who is now only in junior high school.
Mr. Lu wanted to continue to control the group's main power, but he fell ill due to overwork and temporarily stayed in a private hospital;
In order to develop his own power and gain the right to speak in the group, the second young master spends all day entertaining and planning and never returns home;
The Third Young Master had a quarrel with Mr. Lu and ran into the entertainment industry, but he just did nothing but act like a big shot, looking for any attractive female star to bring home;
The fourth young master is still a college student, but he skips classes all day and spends money recklessly every night. His goal is to help his ex-girlfriend form a women's football team.
And all of this was instigated and condoned by the original "Qiao Wu".
Before going abroad, she was worried that she would have no place in the family after returning, so she wanted to break up the family and consolidate her position by gossiping and flattering them.
Whenever Qiao Wu thinks about it, he still feels insulted by this stupid plot.
The Lu family's situation cannot be changed overnight, she can only take it step by step.
With a ding, the elevator door opened and the servant walked out and walked straight over: "Housekeeper Qiao, the young lady is not feeling well today. I want you to call the teacher to ask for leave on her behalf."
Qiao Wu's hands kept moving. "Where do you feel uncomfortable? Has the family doctor seen you? Where's the Fourth Young Master? Is he up yet?"
The servant looked at her with an extremely complicated look: "You should be aware of the young lady's situation. The fourth young master drank until four in the morning last night and didn't come home. Now..."
I'm not sick, I just don't want to study.
It’s impossible to get out of bed, and if I miss the 8 a.m. class, I might as well not go.
In the past, Butler Qiao not only didn't care, but also didn't allow anyone to disturb them. Why is he asking about it today even though he already knows the answer?
The notebook was snapped shut, and Qiao Wu stood up and walked to the wall of the living room on the first floor. Every room in the manor was a large independent suite with good sound insulation. It was impossible for an ordinary person to call someone, so they usually made a phone call. But in order to prevent emergency troubles, the old man installed a button when the manor was built. When pressed, everyone in the room could hear it.
Qiao Wu raised his hand to look at the time on his watch, then pressed the button expressionlessly.
"Thump, thump, thump! Thump, thump, thump!"
The "Symphony of Fate" rang out deafeningly in different rooms.
The two people lying in the soft quilts in their respective rooms were frightened and sat up instantly.
What's that noise?
There's something dirty!
