Ruan Jiaojiao stood by the window and saw Lu Yi get out of the taxi. She waved her hands excitedly.
"Why are you taking so long? I got here from Fengcheng faster than you!"
She hurried downstairs, but when she opened the door, her smile froze, her lips pursed, and her expression changed.
Where is the stuff?
Seeing that she hadn't taken anything, Lu Yi frowned and looked at the coffee table.
"What's your rush! I'm asking you, you've already come out, why can't Huo Jingxi come out?"
"Oh, I see. Did you trick him into taking all the responsibility and making him the scapegoat in order to protect yourself?"
Lu Yi ignored her, rummaged through the cupboards, and then rushed upstairs into her room.
"Hurry up and get it out, there's no time!"
Seeing her bag on the bed, Lu Yi reached out his hand without thinking!
"Answer my question first!"
Unexpectedly, Ruan Jiaojiao swung her long leg in a wide arc and slammed it down, pinning down Lu Yi's arm.
She slid forward with her whole body, almost straddling Lu Yi's arm.
"you!"
Lu Yi's pupils suddenly contracted.
With his other hand, he grabbed her shoulder and tried to lift her up.
But Ruan Jiaojiao was prepared. She quickly brought her legs together and raised them, about to clamp Lu Yi's neck with her scissor legs.
"Will this ever end?!"
Lu Yi had no intention of playing around with her. He turned his head and dodged, grabbing her slender waist with both hands and throwing her aside.
"Hey, you're so easily fooled. Huo Jingxi isn't someone who can be easily fooled. I was just trying to cheer you up because you were unhappy!"
Ruan Jiaojiao did a forward roll and braced her arm against the wall, barely avoiding hitting her head.
She turned around, took a file folder from the top of the cabinet, and threw it at Lu Yi with all her might.
"That's it?"
Lu Yi caught it and weighed it slightly.
It's so light and flimsy; it doesn't look like it contains any "life-saving medicine."
Ruan Jiaojiao leaned against the wall, crossed her arms, and rolled her eyes unhappily.
"He even told me to look for some eye drops, but I searched his entire office and couldn't find them!"
"If I hadn't subtly inquired with the Huo family's butler, I wouldn't have known I'd been tricked!"
Lu Yi was also somewhat surprised, but there was no need to explain to her.
He originally thought Huo Jingxi was hiding some dirty secrets about a big shot, but it seems he was mistaken!
Lu Yi opened the file bag and took out a piece of paper.
Seeing the densely packed names on the screen, Lu Yi was immediately taken aback. "This is..."
Ruan Jiaojiao noticed his strange expression and craned her neck.
It was too far away; all I could see was darkness.
She quickly ran to Lu Yi's side and snatched the page from him.
"What do you mean? Young Master Huo's assassination list? Or a death curse on his business rivals?"
She tilted her head, opened her mouth wide, and stared intently at Lu Yi's face.
"You...shut up!"
Her meddling threw Lu Yi's train of thought into disarray.
Ruan Jiaojiao glared at me like a bull, "No, you can't kill all these people, you still need my help..."
Lu Yi gently laid her down on the bed with one hand, casually tossing a pillow over her to silence her.
His eyes never left the list on the paper.
Remove those with "×" and "√" at the end, and mark the rest with "?".
"Does Second Brother want me to deal with these people?"
The Huo Group needs considerable assistance to go public. If they could all become partners of the Huo Group, then…
"Where's the computer? Quick, turn it on! I need to look up some information!"
Lu Yi felt that the pillow under his hand was as hard to press as a fish that had just taken the bait. He glanced at it and found that Ruan Jiaojiao was lying face down on the bed, with the pillow pressing down hard on the back of her head.
"Sorry, I didn't notice."
He quickly let go, and the next second Ruan Jiaojiao jumped up with her hair disheveled and her nose red, saying, "Lu Yi, I'm not done with you yet!"
...
Qin Fengying had no idea why her son had been laughing.
But as long as she hears her son's laughter, she feels comforted as a mother.
"Han'er, things are different outside than at home. If you don't like your dad's friends, Mom won't force you to associate with them too much."
"But no matter what difficulties you encounter, you can still contact them, or you can just tell Mom that her phone is on 24 hours a day!"
After returning from the Fan family, Qin Fengying lost all interest in tending to the flowers and plants.
Lu Zhengming was extremely busy with company matters.
Every time the second daughter, Lu Baofei, comes home, she's either on the phone or typing away on the computer.
Sometimes, she would receive a phone call halfway through a meal, grab her bag, and leave without giving Qin Fengying even a chance to have a private conversation with her.
Lu Baoqi's reputation has improved a lot recently. Whenever Qin Fengying wants to show concern for her, her assistant always answers on her behalf.
There were also many sounds like "click," "start again," and "pass" around.
In order to get a response from Baoqi, she couldn't help but ask her assistant to put the phone aside. She only hung up after hearing her third daughter's laughter.
Lu Baoyun did go home more often.
Occasionally, I would cook a few dishes for Aunt Wu and have a meal with her.
But Qin Fengying knew that Lu Yi's departure from home had created a huge rift between Lu Baoyun and the family.
She was trying her best to do what a daughter should do, but she never mentioned "Lu Yi".
Even when Qin Fengying took the initiative to ask about Lu Yi's recent situation, Lu Baoyun would only smile and refuse to reveal a single detail.
In the stillness of the night, she began to reminisce about the past.
He even dreamed of the days when he was young, frequenting the Liao family home and following Liao Caiqin to various banquets.
