"Changhuan, what's wrong?" Lu Qing walked over quickly and took her hand with concern.
"Lu Qing, I'm so scared. What if she takes Bu Yi away again?"
"Don't be afraid, it won't happen. We will all protect Buyi and won't give her that chance."
"But her methods are endless, and no matter how much we guard against them, there will be a day when we make a mistake."
Ji Fuying listened to her parents' conversation with trepidation, wondering who was the person who was making her mother so panicked and scared.
Why did she take Bu Yi away?
After hesitating for a long time, she finally asked, "Dad, Mom, who is that person you're talking about, and what is their connection to the Ji family?"
If you don't want her to know about other things, she can pretend they didn't happen, but when it comes to matters concerning Yi, she can no longer stand idly by.
If something were to really happen to Bu Yi one day, she definitely wouldn't be able to survive.
Lu Qing glanced at Xia Changhuan with a troubled expression. She nodded heavily and said, "Tell her. This matter is related to her anyway."
Xia Changhuan was helped back to the sofa by Lu Qing, and she recalled the events of more than 20 years ago with heavy hearts.
“I met your father when I was eighteen. He pursued me passionately, but I hesitated to agree because there was always a woman who loved him deeply behind him.”
"But your father was really too good to me, so good that I wanted to be with him no matter what. That's why I completely offended that woman and made her hate us to the core."
Ji Fuying had already guessed that the woman must be from the Ji family, but she didn't know who she was.
"Mom, who is she in the Ji family?"
"Ji Lan".
Ji Fuying was so shocked that she didn't even realize her fingernails were digging into her flesh. "It's Aunt Ji Lan. Wasn't she dead a long time ago?"
She had considered that it might be a relative of the Ji family, but she never imagined that it would be her long-deceased Aunt Ji Lan.
Xia Changhuan continued, "She caused a scene at my wedding, which is why there were rumors of discord between the Ji and Lu families. That day, Old Master Ji forcibly took her back."
"But the peaceful days didn't last long. She came to my door again and repeatedly tried to hurt me. Fortunately, your father helped me out each time. It wasn't until I got pregnant that your father, fearing she would hurt me again, had a negotiation with Ji Ming."
“After that, she was sent abroad and never came back. Later, I gave birth to you. Because you are the only daughter of the Lu family, the Lu family members love you very much, especially your grandfather, who dotes on you and is by your side almost every day.”
"When you had just learned to walk, your grandfather was so happy that he wanted to take you out for a walk. It was that time that you never came back. The Lu family searched for you for a whole month with all their might, but there was still no news."
"Your grandfather, overwhelmed with guilt, took half a bottle of sleeping pills one night. By the time the servants found him, his body was already cold, and he had left us forever."
"After losing both your father and daughter, your father almost couldn't hold on, but he still forced himself to eat and sleep. Later, he finally found out that it was Ji Lan who secretly took you away."
“We found the Ji family and forced her to tell us about you, but she just wouldn’t tell the truth. She only said that she took you to a remote mountain and left you to fend for yourself. Your father forced her countless times and finally killed her by accident.”
“From then on, the Ji family and the Lu family became complete enemies. This trip to Z country to see Old Master Ji was because of Ji Lan. She didn’t die and is still lingering near our manor.”
"I think she's trying to use the same trick again to steal Bu Yi away. Sui Sui, I've already lost you once, Bu Yi can't be lost too. I'm so scared."
Xia Changhuan cried uncontrollably, wondering how she had survived the time when Sui Sui was lost, and she really didn't want to go through that again.
A layer of fine sweat appeared on Ji Fuying's forehead, her mind was blank, and she was even a little at a loss. Could it be that the truth about her getting lost back then was like this?
She didn't get lost; Ji Lan abandoned her abroad.
Ji Lan, who was supposed to be dead, was able to come back to life, which suggests that everything was part of her plan.
What a ruthless woman! She's willing to abandon her own family just to get revenge on her parents.
"Dad, Ji Lan isn't dead. She's still lingering near our house. What do Grandpa and Grandma say about this?"
"They thought I had imprisoned Ji Lan and begged me to let her go."
Why is that?
"Because Ji Lan appeared nearby bound, and there were several guards watching over her."
From the moment he saw that photo, he felt something was amiss, and he even suspected that Ji Lan was orchestrating the whole thing.
She hoped that the Ji family and the Lu family would fight to the bitter end, preferably to the point of life and death.
"Dad, we must find out her location. We can't let her pose a threat to us any longer."
“Dad knows and has already sent people to investigate, but she definitely won’t use her old identity again. Finding her won’t be easy.”
If she were so easy to find, she wouldn't have faked her death and left more than 20 years ago, and instead planted this hidden bomb.
"Yes, with such deep scheming, how could she possibly be an easy person to deal with?"
Ji Fuying felt very fortunate that when she returned to the Lu family and reunited with her parents, they were able to listen to her.
She still remembers how angry her parents were at that time, and they even wanted to go to the Ji family themselves and fight them to the death.
Especially regarding Ji Yan, her father even wanted to have him killed to avenge her. If she hadn't desperately stopped him, the Ji family and the Lu family would probably be severely damaged by now.
Ji Lan's every move is incredibly sophisticated, so sophisticated it's frightening. Especially now, with the Lu family in the open and her in the shadows, it's impossible to guard against her.
"Sui Sui, her goal is to make me and your mother suffer, so she will probably target you and Buyi again. Take more people with you when you go out in the future, and don't let her take advantage of your vulnerability."
"Okay, I know. This will make things a bit complicated for Bu Yi's schooling, since there's no one at school who can protect her all the time."
"I think we should let her come back first, or we can hire a teacher to teach her."
"Well, Bu Yi will be out of school soon. I'll go pick her up first, and we'll talk about it when I get back."
Ji Fuying ran out anxiously, and Lu Qing quickly ordered his bodyguards to follow her in a car to protect the safety of the mother and daughter.
On the way, Ji Fuying made a phone call, "Help me investigate someone, Ji Lan from the Ji family in Country Z, a person who faked his death. This matter is very important to me, please help me."
