Time flies, and things are always unpredictable. Five years have passed in the blink of an eye, and time is always merciless.
The logo of Jinghua University gleams in the afterglow of the setting sun. The jade-white pillars form a grand and imposing school gate. As the bell rings, students chatter and laugh as they walk out of the school gate, their chatter filled with endless vitality and youth.
The black sedan was so quiet that only the hum of the air conditioner and the clatter of the keyboard could be heard. The laptop in the back seat emitted a pale light that illuminated the woman's face. Her voluptuous figure was outlined in a dark purple business suit, and a few wrinkles on her delicate face added to her maturity. Just sitting there, she exuded a powerful aura that made people afraid to meet her gaze.
The young man in the passenger seat was handsome, his tall and dashing figure accentuated by a silver-gray suit, and he was looking at his phone.
"Mom! Brother!" The car door opened, revealing a delicate young girl's face. Her eyebrows were arched like willow leaves, her cherry lips slightly curved, and she radiated the youthful energy unique to her age.
Wuyou looked up, glanced at her two daughters, nodded slightly, and made a soft "hmm" sound through her nose before gesturing for them to get in the car. Lü Xiangsong, who had graduated before the new year and was now helping Wuyou, smiled and responded when he heard his sister's voice.
"Brother, when did you get back? You didn't even tell me beforehand." Lü Xuewei said coquettishly, rolling her eyes at Lü Xiangsong.
Lu Xiangsong reached out and stroked Lu Xuewei's soft, long hair with doting tenderness. Although this younger sister was his father's illegitimate daughter, they had grown up together since childhood, so there was always some affection between them. Moreover, Lu Xuewei was charming and cute, so how could one not feel sorry for her?
"I wanted to give you two a surprise. It's been so long since I've seen my two lovely little sisters, so I had to give you a big gift."
Feeling her brother's tenderness, Lü Xuewei's eyes crinkled with laughter. She glanced subtly at Lü Jiaqi beside her, her smugness and boastfulness undisguised. So what if you're Mom's biological daughter? My brothers still dote on me the most.
In response to Lü Xuewei's provocation, Lü Jiaqi silently lowered her head, flipping through the book in her hands, occasionally adjusting her glasses on the bridge of her nose. The silence surrounding her made her feel like she was in another world, a world unto herself.
"Jiaqi, what book are you reading? You look so serious. Do you think I'm more interesting than the book?" Lu Xiangsong tried to lighten the mood; he'd gotten used to doing this over the years.
He had to treat his two younger sisters equally. He felt sorry for Lü Jiaqi, who had suffered so much, so he always thought of her when something happened. However, Lü Jiaqi was more quiet and not as likable as Lü Xuewei, so he sometimes inevitably neglected her. He had tried his best to avoid this situation.
She watched her three children interact with ease before turning off the computer, raising her head, her eyebrows curving slightly, her sharp aura dissipating and transforming into maternal tenderness.
After taking control of the Lü family, she kicked out most of the spies and incompetent people from her memories, making her control over the Lü family's businesses even stronger. She selected some loyal and capable assistants, and then Wuyou distributed her power, which gave her more free time, allowing her to gradually shift her focus to her children.
The reason why things were so tragic in the previous life was indeed partly Lu Wuyou's fault. He only cared about making money and providing a good life for the children, but he never opened his heart to them, thus neglecting their growth and giving Zhou Anguo and others an opportunity to take advantage of them.
"Alright, Xiang Song has been very tired lately. He has to go to school and help me with company matters, so please stop bothering him. We're having guests over today, so please don't be impolite."
Despite being spoiled and willful in front of her brother, the loss of her biological daughter's protection made Lü Xuewei subconsciously restrain herself when facing Wuyou. Although she still tried to please him, she wasn't overly arrogant. Wuyou could sense Lü Xuewei's subtle attempts to please him, taking it in but never saying anything, just watching quietly.
"Don't worry, Mom, I definitely won't be rude." Lu Xuewei smiled, her delicate face seemingly glowing, like an angel descended from heaven, making everyone unable to help but focus their attention on her, caring for her and loving her.
“Okay, Mom.” Lu Jiaqi nodded seriously, his expression as solemn as if he were conducting a major scientific study. If there was anyone he was closest to in this family, it would be Wuyou. Although Wuyou was cold and domineering, for Lu Jiaqi, who had suffered so much, Wuyou was a ray of light in his life.
Despite Lü Xuewei's constant underhanded tactics over the past three years, and despite the less-than-harmonious relationship between her three children, this facade of tranquility still made people lower their guard. Looking at her three children, Wuyou's eyes were gentle, but she felt a pang of regret, knowing that this peaceful life was about to be disrupted.
In her past life, Lü Jiaqi was taken back to the Lü family at the age of 18, thus beginning the story of the real and fake heiresses. Life is a drama, and the climax of this drama is finally about to begin.
The guests Wuyou mentioned arrived at the Lü family's residence early. Wuyou had given prior instructions, so the guests received polite hospitality and sat there drinking tea and chatting while waiting for their host to return.
As soon as Wuyou returned, she greeted the Ji family with pleasantries. Both sides were capable business people, and they were both very adept at interpersonal communication. Moreover, the two families had been in contact frequently over the years and had maintained an excellent relationship.
"Brother Fengzhu, you're here! I've missed you so much! Can you take me out to play during the holiday?" Lu Xuewei's eyes lit up when she saw Ji Fengzhu, the only son of the Ji family. She immediately threw herself into his arms like a swallow returning to its nest, pleading in a soft voice.
Ji Fengzhu was dressed in a simple white shirt and gray suit pants. He was tall and upright with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. His thin lips were tightly pursed, and he exuded a cold aura. However, when facing Lü Xuewei, he couldn't help but soften his expression and carefully hugged her in his arms.
The two were clearly in the throes of new love, practically radiating pink bubbles that were impossible to ignore.
Lu Xiangsong watched all this with a smile. His friend was with his most beloved younger sister, so he naturally approved wholeheartedly. Lu Jiaqi's face remained unmoved. She glanced at him and then looked away, her lowered eyelids filled with disappointment.
"Madam, everything is ready. You may dine here." Ji Yisi, dressed in a sharp suit, stepped forward with a perfect smile on his handsome face. He leaned close to Wuyou's ear and whispered.
A warm breath lingered near her ear, and Wuyou couldn't help but rub it. She subtly glared at Ji Yisi, thinking how rude he was to be so inconsiderate.
"Brother Ji, let's have dinner together!"
