Fate is like a derailed train, crashing into people and leaving them battered and bruised.
It took Lu Baoyun several days to recover after being comforted by Ruan Jiaojiao. When she and Wu Ma returned to the Lu family home, the entire villa had already been sealed off.
Early spring is a season when all things revive and regain vitality, but the Lu family has become an out-of-place presence.
Looking at the withered flowers and the birds that died in cages without ever gaining freedom, Wu Ma secretly wiped away her tears.
"Fourth Miss, shall we call Madam?"
Previously, Lu Baoyun was in a daze and couldn't listen to anything anyone said, so Wu Ma called Qin Fengying behind her back.
But every time she answered the phone, it was the second young lady, Lu Baofei.
After Wu Ma told her about Bao Yun's situation, Lu Bao Fei told her to take good care of her and didn't mention anything else.
Lu Baoyun leaned against the wrought iron gate, tears already streaming down her face.
Upon hearing Wu Ma's reminder, she hurriedly took out her phone and made several calls, but no one answered. She had no choice but to call her second sister.
At this moment, Lu Baofei was driving, and Qin Fengying, who was sighing, was sitting in the car.
"It's Baoyun, you can answer it!"
Lu Baofei was preoccupied with her own thoughts, afraid that she would give herself away if she opened her mouth.
Qin Fengying stared at her ringing phone, her tone indifferent, "What am I supposed to say? The lawyer still hasn't seen your father..."
He muttered something, but eventually answered the phone.
“Baoyun, I heard from your second sister that you and Jiaojiao are together and she is taking care of you, so I’m at ease.”
Hearing her forced smile, Lu Baoyun sniffed sharply.
"Mom, how's Dad? And Third Sister's phone is off, and we can't get in touch with Han'er either. What's wrong with this family?"
The scenes of family laughter from the past were still vivid in her mind, and a strange sadness welled up in her heart.
Aunt Wu asked from the side, "Madam, we're right at your doorstep. Is there anything you need? I can go in and bring it to you."
The gate was carelessly tossed on the flowers and plants, and the seal was a bit haphazardly affixed.
Wu Ma thought to herself that she should be fine crawling under the fork.
Qin Fengying was worried about how to answer her fourth daughter's question when she said, "Aunt Wu, don't go in. I don't need anything. Oh, by the way, I'll give you an address. Come over here!"
Lu Baofei didn't trust the nanny she hired.
After being tricked by Cuihua once, she became like a frightened bird.
Right now, the only people I can trust are the old members of the Lu family.
Fortunately, Butler Xu was loyal and helped out after the incident. He had already moved out the urgently needed items from the villa.
Aunt Wu readily agreed, "And the Fourth Miss?"
Lu Baoyun, standing to the side, gripped her phone tightly, sobbing uncontrollably.
"She's close to Yi'er, but the Lu family is in this state because of Yi'er. Let her choose for herself!"
Qin Fengying finished speaking hastily and angrily hung up the phone.
Lu Baofei slammed on the brakes, turned around, and stared at her with a puzzled look.
"Mom, what do you mean by saying Yi'er caused it? Don't you see clearly yet who let the wolf into the house, causing the Lu family to fall into this state?"
Outrageous!
"Han'er was originally a good child. When did he ever do anything outrageous? It was only because Lu Yi was jealous of him that he forced him to take his own life. Otherwise..."
Qin Fengying's face darkened.
The way Aunt Liu looked at her, as if she were an idiot, made the hairs on her body stand on end.
"No, I have to go back to the Lu family! Baofei, take me back to the Lu family! I need to find evidence. She can't just take my Han'er away like this!"
Qin Fengying grabbed Lu Baofei's arms with both hands and kept urging her on.
How could Han'er, whom she raised for over a decade, possibly be the son of that kind of woman?
There are traces of their living in the house, so there should be materials that can be used for identification.
Lu Baofei was rendered speechless by her sudden change.
Pushing her hand away, Lu Baofei sighed and said dejectedly, "Mom, the house is already a mess enough, can't you just shut up for a bit?"
"I still can't get in touch with Baoqi, and I can't reach my older sister by phone lately either. And Dad... Can you please calm down for a few days and let me stabilize the morale at the company, okay?"
She really couldn't understand how her once open-minded and cheerful mother had become such a different person.
No wonder Baoqi is acting crazy; she probably inherited some bad genes from her.
"If you won't go, I'll go by myself!"
Qin Fengying unbuckled her seatbelt, tore off the disinfectant cotton ball left from the IV drip on the back of her hand, threw it at Lu Baofei's face, hailed a taxi, and drove away.
Lu Baofei's head is twice the size of hers.
What time is it now? This family is still like a pile of loose sand. If the Lu family can't turn things around this time, they can't blame anyone else!
She tore her hair into a mess, picked up her phone, and called Lu Baoyun.
He told her to take good care of her mother, then turned around at the intersection and drove towards Lu's Company.
...
The Lu family was in chaos, and everyone was filled with anxiety.
Several long-time shareholders, who were completely devoted to Lu Zhengming, argued their case in the meeting room.
But unable to withstand the questioning from department heads and employee representatives, they have been cornered.
"Everyone, starting today, I, Lu Baofei, will temporarily assume the position of Chairman of Lu's Group. Does anyone have any objections?"
Who would dare to object!
Once Lu Zhengming got into trouble, those who had no hope of survival packed their things and fled overnight.
The rest are either shareholders, have bought a lot of stock, or hold a lot of Lu's stock options.
Before the future of the Lu family becomes clear, they want to cut their losses, but they don't know where to stop.
Especially after seeing the Lu family villa sealed off today, everyone's patience has reached its breaking point.
Several long-time shareholders have fought alongside Lu Zhengming all the way to where he is now, and they don't believe that Lu Zhengming is so incompetent that he would fall into someone else's trap and use the Lu Group as a tool to whitewash someone else's reputation.
Lu Baofei's appearance was like a candle flame appearing in the pitch-black night.
It swayed uncertainly, but it was bright.
"Young Chairman Lu, what's the actual situation with President Lu? If it's really like what's being said online, our Lu Group is completely finished!"
"That's right. The new project is just about to start. If we give up now, won't all that money be wasted?"
"Lu Baofei, we don't care what you're trying to do, just fulfill all the promises you made to us, and we'll stop causing trouble..."
"Your family is having problems, and you're bringing it up at the company. Are you trying to use this as an excuse to fire us and save on compensation and damages?"
The meeting room was in an uproar, with taunts and sarcastic remarks slapping Lu Baofei across the face.
She twitched her eyebrows slightly and sighed softly.
"Everyone is right, my father is indeed suspected of being involved in the case, and the nature of the case is exactly as rumored!"
These words shocked everyone present.
"However, before my father's accident, he had already transferred all his shares to my name, and I was also the person in charge whom everyone had elected!"
"Right, Uncle Wang, Uncle Li, Aunt Meng, and... Manager Zhang, Supervisor Hu?"
Lu Baofei's gaze swept across the chaotic meeting room, and she pointed to a few people.
They were all their father's right-hand men.
If they testify, perhaps they can quell the public outrage.
