"I went to see him today. He was lying in the hospital bed, looking so pitiful! The doctor said he might never wake up and would be a vegetable for the rest of his life!" The woman's voice was soft and sweet, but what she uttered were vicious words, full of schadenfreude, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of triumph.
“Good job, my good daughter. You are worthy of being my daughter. As long as that brat Lü Xiangsong is gone, and apart from that little girl Lü Jiaqi, the Lü family’s assets will all be ours.” The voice on the other end of the phone was also very familiar; it was his biological father, whom he respected even though they were not close.
"Of course, there's nothing I can't do if I want to." Lü Xuewei raised her chin, beaming with pride.
"However... I hope the drug you used won't be detected! Medical technology is so advanced these days, and that woman Lü Wuyou is cunning and ruthless. If she's discovered, it won't be easy for her to escape." Zhou Anguo was a cautious man, and the only time he'd ever stumbled was because of women; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to deceive Lü Wuyou for so many years.
"Don't worry, I have a suitor, a black market doctor. He's highly skilled and devoted to me. I have a lot of confidence in the medicine he makes. Even if they investigate, they won't be able to trace it back to me." Lü Xuewei said confidently, her eyebrows raised high.
"You're a truly meticulous child, surpassing your teacher in every way. I'll be waiting for your good news then." Zhou Anguo was quite impressed with Lü Xuewei's methods. He was glad he had such a good daughter—filial, obedient, and shrewd, she had completely inherited his good qualities.
Fortunately, no one knows what Zhou Anguo is really thinking, otherwise it would be disgusting. His narcissism to this extent is truly astounding.
"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down. Everything in the Lü family will be ours then, and you and Mom can just wait to enjoy your life." Lü Xuewei said with certainty. Over the years, Zhou Enguo and Yu Lili had spoiled him rotten. Moreover, the two sides had common interests and no conflict of interest, so they naturally got along better and better, with a strong sense of fatherly love and filial piety.
Zhou Anguo was very pleased with himself after hearing this. After the father and daughter received a few more insincere words, they each hung up the phone.
After chatting with Ji Fengzhu on WeChat for a while, Lü Xuewei felt a little sleepy, so she turned off the lights and lay down on the bed, dozing off. The whole room was plunged into darkness.
She slept soundly, but the other person in the same room stared wide-eyed, unable to sleep all night. Their mind was a jumble of emotions: regret, sadness, grief, shock—a complex mix of feelings, a bittersweet experience.
A respected biological father and a beloved younger sister—these two people closest to him had been pretending all along, and their true colors were terrifying; they were scheming for the Lü family's wealth and for the three of them.
He even schemed against her and her two children for the sake of so-called property, causing himself to be in a car accident, and now he's going to target her sister and mother. Human nature can be so terrifying.
Although he understood the unpredictability of human nature, for Lü Xiangsong, a young man who had only recently entered society, experiencing it firsthand was still somewhat difficult to accept.
It seems he was wrong all along. He couldn't see people's true nature and the people around him clearly, which ultimately led to harming himself and others. If anything happens to his mother and sister, he will be held responsible.
Overwhelmed by guilt and sorrow, Lü Xiangsong clutched his chest, feeling as if he could hardly breathe.
No, I have to tell my mother and sister; I can't let them get hurt. With that thought, Lü Xiangsong desperately tried to drift away, but every time he got a certain distance, he would be pulled back sharply by a force. He tried and failed repeatedly, but he kept trying, and he tossed and turned like this all night.
The days that followed were eerily peaceful. The mother and her two daughters took turns staying with Lü Xiangsong at the hospital. Lü Xiangsong wanted to inform Wu You and the others, but unfortunately, no one could hear what he said, and he couldn't touch anything. He could only feel more grief and the pain of helplessness.
The doctor's diagnosis report is out. Lu Xiangsong's body is recovering very well, but he is still in a confused state and cannot remain in a coma. He may become a vegetable.
Even the usually strong Wuyou couldn't help but tear up, weeping sorrowfully by her son's bedside. Lü Jiaqi also couldn't stop crying. He still cared about his older brother, Lü Xiangsong. The other man had always tried to be good to him, and he could see that he wasn't the kind of person who didn't appreciate kindness.
As for the ungrateful Lü Xuewei, she outwardly appeared sad but inwardly gloated. She was secretly pleased that she had acted flawlessly, eliminating an opponent without leaving a trace. Next, she would have to deal with Wuyou and her mother.
Having tasted the benefits of the drugs provided by the black market doctor, Lü Xuewei met with him multiple times and obtained many valuable items. The tenderness Lü Xiangsong felt for Lü Xuewei, who had always been by her side, was gradually worn away, leaving only deep hatred.
That day, Lü Xuewei dressed up beautifully, wearing a pink princess dress, her hair was permed into thick curls, and her beautiful hair was half-tied into a bun, with a pink bow on her head swaying back and forth, making her look refreshing, cute, charming and lovely.
Out of sight, Lü Xiangsong crouched in the corner, silent about Lü Xuewei's actions. His previous hysteria had long since dissipated, leaving only a deep sense of helplessness and numbness. He didn't move an inch until Lü Xuewei and the others left, knowing he would soon follow.
As soon as they came downstairs, they saw the familiar sports car. Lü Xuewei ran to the passenger seat and gave Ji Fengzhu a light kiss on the cheek. The two chatted and laughed, exuding the sweet and cheesy atmosphere of a couple in love.
At noon, the two dined at a restaurant. Lü Xuewei slowly and methodically cut the steak on the table with a knife and fork, the subtle aroma making one's mouth water.
"Xuewei, have you ever thought about inheriting the Lü family's business?" Ji Fengzhu broke the silence first, his tone cautious and tentative, as if afraid of hurting the girl in front of him.
He genuinely liked Lü Xuewei; he liked her beautiful and lovely appearance, her radiant smile, and her slightly fragile yet strong personality. It had nothing to do with her family background; he simply liked her as a person. But while he thought this way, his family might not feel the same way. His parents, the Ji family, were also after the benefits that Lü Xuewei represented.
Regardless, if the Ji family could get a share of the pie from such a behemoth as the Lü family, it would be an invaluable benefit. Wuyou has always been known for his doting love for his children, a fact well-known throughout the industry. If he were to marry a daughter of the Lü family, he might even gain a considerable number of shares.
While they may not necessarily lack the money, who would complain about having too much? Moreover, what they are eyeing is not just the money, but more importantly, the connections and support represented by the Lü family.
Originally, Ji Fengzhu was indifferent to this and didn't think much about it, but since Lü Xiangsong was hospitalized, this thought has grown stronger.
Since the Lü family has no rightful heir, they can only choose from their two daughters. Neither of these girls has a business mind, so they will definitely need their sons-in-law to help them. Isn't that the opportunity for me?
