Under Lin Yuan's death stare, Lin Xiaoya carefully finished her meal.
Unusually, Lin Yuan did not immediately follow her to her home to beat her up in anger.
Instead, he packed a bunch of gifts, escorted her to the door, and instructed the driver to make sure to take her upstairs before returning.
Before getting on the bus, Lin Xiaoya glanced at her nervously a few times.
Lin Yuan smiled broadly, showing no sign of displeasure.
This unusual behavior made Lin Xiaoya even more uneasy.
"Sister Xiaoya, please come again soon!"
Lin Mengmeng, for some unknown reason, used honorifics for the first time ever.
He considerately opened the car door for her.
"Xiaoya, your godmother was worried that I would have a problem with it, so she didn't bring you home before. Actually, she was overthinking it!"
“I felt an instant connection with you the moment I saw you. Mengmeng is right. I’ll have your godmother prepare a room for you in a bit, so you can come whenever you want.”
"It's not safe for a girl to live alone outside..."
Lin Hongtao waved goodbye reluctantly.
He didn't understand why he felt even more heartbroken than when Mengmeng left home.
After starting the car, Lin Xiaoya finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She misunderstood.
This time, it wasn't Lin Yuan making advances towards her.
Instead, she reached an agreement with Lu Han, and Lin Yuan had no choice but to keep her promise to herself and set herself free.
She did this because she wanted to separate the kite string that was holding Lin Xiaoya back and hand it over to Lin Hongtao.
With this extra layer of protection, Lin Yuan is more confident in controlling Lin Xiaoya.
In other words, Lin Yuan achieved her goal and saw her biological daughter successfully extricate herself, but then she changed her mind!
"Master, could you take me somewhere else first?"
Lin Xiaoya bit her finger and asked tentatively.
The driver was hired by the Lin family, but he had received many benefits from Lin Yuan in private, and was considered one of Lin Yuan's confidants.
He glanced at Lin Xiaoya in the rearview mirror. "Miss Lin, Madam asked me to take you home directly. I wouldn't dare make that decision on my own!"
Seeing Lin Xiaoya frown, he changed the subject and said, "But I can take you home first. If you want to go somewhere else, I'll take you there."
Lin Xiaoya nodded in surprise.
She wanted to see Lu Yi. A voice inside her told her, "Go see the person you want to see, don't overthink it..."
...
When Lu Baoqi woke up, Qin Fengying was in her office talking to the doctor about her daughter's condition.
"Third sister, you're awake. I'll go get the doctor."
Lu Han fiddled with her new phone, walked to the bedside, and observed Lu Baoqi's complexion.
"What's wrong with me? I didn't go to find Lu..."
Lu Baoqi propped herself up on the bed, sat up straight, and stroked her neck, looking left and right.
"Third sister, don't you remember? You had a fight with your brother and you passed out. It was only after your eldest sister arrived that she took you to the hospital."
Lu Han was increasingly impressed with her own skill in lying.
He just spouted nonsense without thinking at all.
Lu Baoqi pounded her head, trying hard to recall, but couldn't think of anything.
He glanced at the doorway and suddenly pulled Lu Han to the edge of the bed.
Her eyes widened in terror as she exclaimed, "Han'er, that person has been arrested!"
Lu Han was terrified by the voice she squeezed out of her throat, "Who's been arrested?"
Lu Baoqi clicked her tongue and gestured with her hand.
"It was the person who helped me at the entrance of the cemetery. When I came out with the chicken soup, I almost tripped and fell, and he told me to be careful."
Lu Han was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out of her head.
He hadn't expected that Fan Tong and Lu Baoqi had actually been in contact.
"Third sister, how can you be sure he's cooperating with you?"
"Are you stupid? If he wasn't cooperating with me, why would he call me Miss Lu? You're the one who found him, aren't you?"
As she spoke, Lu Baoqi glanced at the door again, and her voice finally returned to normal.
But Lu Han felt a chill run down her spine.
Despite all precautions, Fan Tong still made this kind of basic mistake.
He stammered, "What else do you know?"
Lu Baoqi pouted, her grip on the blanket tightening unconsciously.
"I never imagined Lu Gengsheng would be so unlucky, dying from just a sip of soup..."
"I know you did this to help him recover, and I also know you were worried that Lu Yi might run into me when I went to deliver the soup, so you had someone keep watch at the door!"
"So, he must know perfectly well how Lu Gengsheng died..."
hateful!
She wasn't the only one who killed Lu Gensheng, so why was she the only one so afraid?
Lu Baoqi looked at Lu Han with a resentful expression.
I really hope he says something to help her get over it as soon as possible.
Lu Han's eyes darted around as she pretended to reply to someone's message on her phone.
My mind was in complete turmoil.
No, I absolutely cannot admit that I know Fan Tong.
Otherwise, this matter will be brought up again.
Lu Yi has always harbored resentment over the death of his uncle. His repeated attacks on him must have been motivated by a desire to vent his anger!
What if he finds out that Lu Baoqi knows Fan Tong and he keeps pressing the issue?
Lu Han put away her phone, put her hands in her pockets, tilted her head and thought for a while, then glared at him.
"That's not right, Third Sister. We were doing a good deed. Why would I be afraid that Brother will run into you when he goes back!"
"I didn't find that person. Is it possible that he's a die-hard fan of yours who's been stalking you?"
Just shift the blame to Lu Baoqi!
This woman is simple-minded; she'll believe anything you say.
No wonder she suddenly fell ill; it turns out she heard that Fan Tong had been arrested and was afraid that she would be implicated!
That's outrageous.
