At this point, Lu Yi finally understood Bai Che's doubts.
Originally, everyone thought he would use a feigned ulterior motive to secretly plot against Liang Shiyue.
On the surface, he enjoys the prestige of being the prospective son-in-law of the Gu family, but in reality, he betrays the Fan family's well-intentioned arrangements for him and pursues his own love.
If the Fan family's "scheme" has failed, then Gong Che will naturally consider Lu Yi to be a disobedient pawn.
"Am I really that bad in everyone's eyes?"
The wind billowed his black coat, his hair covered half his face, and his voice was deep and somber, as if he had been pulled from an icy lake.
Fan Huijun then realized how outrageous her guess was.
"I told my aunt to call the police immediately, she had to call the police... How could I be so foolish!"
She frantically rummaged through her bag, dropping her phone on the floor, its screen shattering into a spiderweb pattern.
Lu Yi patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Sis, calling the police won't do any good!"
“Xiaoyue is just a student with a very limited range of activities and simple interpersonal relationships. The police will start by investigating the people around her.”
"This would not only make Aunt Liang the prime suspect, but could also create unforeseen complications and cause unnecessary trouble."
Anyone who dares to openly harass Liang Shiyue is only targeting him.
Fan Huijun didn't quite understand at first, "You mean..."
Lu Yi looked at the dark golden river surface, where a pleasure boat was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and occasionally the sound of laughter clinking glasses could be heard.
There, the Lu family was hosting a banquet for Master Hong and He Mingbo.
Lu Han stood on the ship's railing, listened to the report over the phone, and sneered.
"Very good. Keep a close eye on her and stay in touch. She'll be very useful to me tomorrow!"
Lu Han has already received the news that Lin Xiaoya has been completely exonerated.
The fact that she was able to exonerate herself completely after being involved in such a heinous drug case suggests that someone vouched for her behind the scenes.
In the elite circles of Jiangzhou, people can accept the adopted son Lu Han, but they cannot accept the illegitimate daughter Lin Xiaoya.
This is an indisputable fact.
After Lin Xiaoya's accident, he inquired about the reactions of those people through his former friends.
It's clear they'll be lucky if they don't kick us when we're down; they won't help at all.
Moreover, the Lin family's internal affairs are controlled by the notoriously jealous Lin Yuan, who not only watches the drama unfold but also takes the opportunity to torment Lin Xiaoya.
She only sought help from someone when she was forced to do so, seeing that the situation was dire and could affect the Lin family.
As for who he was referring to, he had no idea!
He felt a vague unease. If Lin Xiaoya was alright, then he, the "recipient," might very well become the new target!
Oh no, why didn't I think of this when I came back!
He glanced at the laughing and chatting crowd behind him, and a thought flashed through his mind: Where is Lu Baoqi?
My mother said she had returned, but she was the only one missing from today's grand family dinner!
He made several calls, but no one answered.
Just as he was about to make an excuse to slip away, his phone suddenly rang, displaying Lu Baoqi's number.
"Sis, where are you?"
He answered the call without even thinking.
A lazy sigh came from the other end, "Han'er, why do you keep disturbing my sleep? Didn't we agree that I would go tomorrow?"
Lu Baoqi yawned widely and slapped her mouth.
Hearing these boundless comments, Lu Han complained, "Sis, it's okay if you don't come, but at least tell me where you are so I can come pick you up!"
He desperately wanted to know where Lu Baoqi was staying.
He was afraid she would slip out of his control.
Lu Baoqi continued making impatient, babbling sounds, "If you all know, it's like letting everyone know. How can I ever have any peace and quiet again!"
She had ample reasoning that Lu Han could not refute.
Lu Han thought so too. Her falling out with the Huo family had made things so ugly that fans and media had been eagerly waiting to ambush her.
Who knows, most of the people coming to the banquet tomorrow are probably there just to take pictures of her.
Lu Han was slightly relieved. "By the way, haven't you been wanting to find that Cuihua? I've already got news about her. You must come tomorrow!"
Lu Baoqi mumbled an indistinct "hmm" through her nose and hung up the phone.
When he returned to the table, He Mingbo was somewhat drunk.
His lustful eyes kept staring at Lu Baofei's profile, and his hand holding the wine glass would intentionally or unintentionally touch her.
Lu Baoyun sat obediently next to Qin Fengying, her eyes filled with melancholy.
Lu Han took a glass of wine from the waiter's tray and sat down in the empty seat next to her.
Fourth sister, you seem to have lost weight.
Since he returned home, Lu Baoyun has never spoken to him on her own initiative. Even when they meet face to face, Lu Baoyun just smiles.
Lu Baoyun snapped out of her daze and touched her face.
"Have you lost weight? No!"
Her features were indifferent, and the way she looked at Lu Han made him feel completely unfamiliar.
"Han'er, your fourth sister hasn't lost weight, but you've gotten quite thin. You've suffered a lot these past year!"
In front of the two distinguished guests, Qin Fengying raised her hand and touched Lu Han's cheek, making no attempt to hide her affection for Lu Han.
Lu Zhengming frowned and coughed to remind Qin Fengying to be mindful of her behavior.
But she was completely unaware and continued to praise Lu Han.
Hong Ye and He Mingbo were both shrewd people who lived their lives immersed in foreign liquor. Their eyes flashed, and they smiled at each other.
They finally understood why a shrewd young man like Lu Han was able to oust the Lu family's biological son.
It turns out he had grasped the key to this family's fate.
Behind the prosperity of a large family, there may be a bold and meticulous father, but even more so, a kind and gentle mother.
Qin Fengying certainly has the demeanor of a noblewoman, but her favoritism is truly formidable.
From the moment everyone sat down, her gaze never left Lu Han.
This kind of pampering is precisely the source of Lu Han's fearlessness!
"Mom, Mr. Hong and President He have come all the way from the ocean to celebrate your birthday. It's a rare opportunity for our family to get together, so let's raise a glass to thank them!"
Lu Baofei raised her wine glass, interrupting Qin Fengying's eloquent and witty remarks.
Lu Baoyun, who was standing to the side, felt like her head was about to explode.
The words "intelligent and quick-witted" and "persevering" are more suitable to describe Lu Yi. What quality does Lu Han have from head to toe?
Master Hong smiled but said nothing.
He Mingbo, his tongue lolling out, withdrew his gaze from Lu Baofei.
"Young Master Lu really resembles President Lu. Among all the young people in China that Hong Ye and I have met, there are very few who are more outstanding than him!"
Flattery will get you everywhere!
Qin Fengying slapped Lu Baofei's hand.
"Listen to what President He said, how well he spoke. You, as the older sister, can't even stand hearing him praise his younger brother?"
She rolled her eyes at Lu Baofei a few times, picked up her wine glass, and stood up with a big smile on her face.
"Thank you both for coming all this way. You've taken such good care of my son, I don't know what to say!"
"By the way, I heard that President He is still unmarried... You may not care about the rest of our family, but what about our daughters? What do you think of the two of them?"
Lu Baofei and Lu Baoyun both looked up in surprise.
They all shouted in unison, "Mom!"
