Along the way, Lu Baoqi chattered on and on, while Lu Baofei seemed somewhat uneasy.
His mind was filled with Fan Huijun's questioning smile and her subtle sarcasm towards him.
After parking, the two entered the Lu family home one after the other.
"I'm covered in sweat, it's so hot, I'm going to take a shower."
Lu Baoqi changed her shoes and went upstairs.
The living room was empty, and there was no sign of her mother, Qin Fengying, on the chaise lounge where she loved to lie.
Lu Baofei originally wanted to tell her about Lu Yi's current situation, but she had to give up.
Just as she was about to go upstairs, she suddenly heard her eldest sister Lu Baozhi's surprised voice from the corner.
"You're back?"
"Third Sister said you ran into Lu Yi. Did he cause you trouble again?"
Lu Baozhi's question was rather subtle.
In the past, whenever the Lu family signed a cooperation agreement, my mother would have Wu Ma and Butler Xu organize a family banquet to celebrate.
But there was no activity today.
Even the media has not reported any new developments regarding the Lu family.
Clearly, Lu Baofei's mission has failed, and her cooperation with the Fan family has fallen through!
She had received a call from Lu Baoqi half an hour earlier and knew that Lu Yi had also appeared at the exhibition hall.
Sitting in the corner armchair, I thought for a long time and naturally connected Lu Baofei's failure with Lu Yi.
Lu Baofei paused, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly.
"We did run into him, but this time it's not his fault!"
How can you blame him?
After leaving the Lu family, it seemed he had no normal life.
Even Fan Huijun, an outsider, knew clearly the suffering and torment he had endured.
As his older sister, it seems that all I've done for him is look down on him and ignore him.
Seeing that her expression was strange, Lu Baozhi assumed that she had suffered a blow, which was why she said such strange things.
"Second sister, with the Lu family's strength, we can invest in whatever we want. It's okay if we didn't reach an agreement right away, don't blame yourself too much!"
There are countless promising medical device manufacturers across the country. The Fan family is not being sensible now, and they will regret it sooner or later when their competitors beat them to it.
It's true that Lu Baozhi and Fan Huijun were classmates.
Both were top students in their class and had somewhat similar family backgrounds.
They pretend to be very close on the surface, but in reality they are "fake besties," always secretly competing with each other, whether in academics or activities.
After Fan Huijun went abroad to study, Lu Baozhi finally tasted the joy of being the best.
Who knew, Huijun came back again!
She could have just come back and taken over the family business or the hospital under the Fan family's name, but she chose to go to a public hospital.
It's best if the two families have no vested interests, so that we don't have to keep pretending when we see her in the future!
Lu Baofei waved her hand dejectedly, "Big sister, I saw Lu Yi and Fan Huijun together, and the two... have a very close relationship."
"What!"
Lu Baozhi's pupils suddenly contracted.
"So, Huijun knows about Lu Yi's relationship with us?"
Just a few days ago, she denied Fan Huijun's suspicions, but she was exposed so quickly. What should she say when she sees Fan Huijun again?
Lu Baofei didn't understand why she had such a big reaction, so she turned around and went upstairs.
He took a few steps, then turned back and stood at the corner of the stairs, looking down at Lu Baozhi.
"Big sister, you went to the cemetery to look for Lu Yi, right?"
Lu Baozhi was confused. "That's right! It's because Mom was worried about his injury and insisted that I go. It's a pity it was a wasted trip. That kid doesn't appreciate it at all!"
Seeing that her eldest sister and third sister treated Lu Yi the same way, Lu Baofei's fingers on the armrest gradually clenched.
"So, you saw him spying on you while you were showering, right?"
Lu Baozhi, her grievances flowing like a dammed floodgate, said, "How could that be... Xiao Han discovered he was spying and told me."
Lu Baofei smiled and raised an eyebrow. "Eldest sister, I'm going back to my room to rest now."
Lu Baozhi was stunned by her own words and stood frozen in place. It was as if all the memories in her mind had been turned upside down, and all the logic had become twisted.
As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must catch him red-handed!
But now that I think about it, I always lock the door when I take a shower, so I don't think I've ever even seen Lu Yi.
But why do I subconsciously believe he would do such a thing?
Fourth sister Lu Baoyun has been locking herself in her room for several days. This morning, she asked housekeeper Xu to bring up a box of things.
No one knew what she was silently fiddling with inside!
After returning to her room, the second sister, Lu Baofei, immediately retrieved the slashed bag from the walk-in closet.
She stared blankly at the messy scratches for a long time before snapping out of it and immediately pulling out her phone to make a call.
"I have something to ask you, and I also need your help!"
"A water cup? Or a cell phone?"
"Okay, I'll send it over in a bit."
After hanging up the phone, she stood by the window looking at the inconspicuous little house in the backyard, feeling a mix of emotions.
Lu Baoqi felt that her second sister was acting strangely today.
If what happened today had happened in the past, Sister Baofei would have been the first to stand up and confront Lu Yi, and repeatedly reiterate that he was not allowed to enter the main building without permission.
But just now in the car, her eyebrows were furrowed, and she didn't say a word.
Is it just because the business deal fell through and he's in a bad mood?
Lu Zhengming still hadn't returned by dinnertime.
Lu Han slept until sunset. When she limped downstairs, she only saw her mother, Qin Fengying, sitting at the dining table.
Aunt Wu was carrying the tray upstairs.
Seeing Lu Han staring at him with a suspicious look, he quickly said, "This is for the Fourth Miss."
