all of this, she couldn't blame it all on Qi Ya. Half the reason was Yu Lin, their daughter. If Yu Lin hadn't so easily believed Qi Ya, they would still be fine in the hospital now."Hanchuan, can you..."It's nothing, I'm just a little worried. If that Mr. Tang is really the one who took your brother, it means he has a lot of animosity towards the Lu family. You have to be careful in the future. I'm afraid he'll target you." Fu Xiaoyao said anxiously.

Lu Hanchuan's heart softened, reaching out to ruffle her hair, his voice becoming gentle, "I know."

"When will you be back" Fu Xiaoyao asked him.

Lu Hanzchuan glanced at Qiao Mu.

Qiao Mu immediately took out her phone's schedule, "Madam, Mr. Lu has a very important meeting the day after tomorrow at noon, so he will be back early the day after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow..." Fu Xiaoyao frowned slightly, "That means you won't be able to attend Mom and Dad's memorial"

"Well, then you'll go in my place."

But what should I say to Grandfather Should I tell him the truth Fu Xiaoyao blinked.

Lu Hanzhan pondered for two seconds, "I'll talk to my grandfather myself. You don't have to worry about it."

"Good." Fu Xiaoyao nodded.

Lu Hanchuan added, “Also, Qi Ya. After she wakes up, have her leave directly.”

"If she doesn't leave, it'll be just like yesterday," Fu Xiaoyao said with a pout.

"If she doesn't leave, call me and I'll send someone to take her away." Lu Hanchuan said.

Fu Xiaoyao shrugged. "You said so, don't get soft-hearted later."

"Is that how little you trust me" Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes.

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her eyes and said softly, "Trust is earned through concrete actions, not just words. And your concern for her last night..."

"I'm nervous about her for a reason, didn't I tell you last night" Lu Hanchuan frowned.

Fu Xiaoyao bit her lower lip, "But you didn't say what the reason was."

"So you're still hung up on this Didn't I tell you the reason can't be revealed yet" Lu Hanchuan's voice dropped.

Fu Xiaoyao clenched her palms, and she wasn't happy either. She glared at him with both eyes, "It's because you never tell me anything, making me guess all the time. How can I trust you"

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right and they were about to start arguing, Qiao Mu touched his nose and stepped forward, clearing his throat twice to divert the topic. "That... General Lu, you might as well have breakfast first. If you don't eat, you'll miss the opening time of the flight."

Hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao only then remembered that Lu Hanchuan was still going out. She looked at him, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she said nothing. She merely lowered her head slightly and walked towards the dining room.

Lu Hanchuan knew she was deliberately giving him a step down, his face improved at the same time, but a trace of guilt also rose in his heart.

He hurried after her, three steps to every two of hers. He grabbed her arm and said, "I apologize for that."

"Sorry, what" Fu Xiaoyao didn't look at him, only lowering her eyelids to stare at the tip of her slippers.

Lu Hanchuan released her arm and cupped her face with both hands. "If you really want to know why I, despite already disliking Qi Ya, still have to be nervous about her, I can tell you, but everything waits until I get back."

Fu Xiaoyao's eyes flashed with surprise, "How did you suddenly figure it out"

Lu Hanchuan lowered his hand that was cupping her cheek, "The words you just said reminded me that to earn trust, one must also be honest. So I understand now."

Fu Xiaoyao smiled, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back and tell me everything."

"Hmm." Lu Hanchuan took her hand. "Let's go, have breakfast."

After speaking, the two held hands and walked towards the restaurant.

After breakfast, Lü Hánchuan left with Qiao Mu's company.

Fu Xiaoyao stood at the villa door, watching his car drive away until it disappeared from sight. Only then did she reluctantly return to the living room.

Aunt Song poured her a glass of honey water, “Has your husband left”

"I'm leaving." Fu Xiaoyao replied as she took the cup of water.

Aunt Song also understands why Lu Hanzchuan went abroad. She sighed, "I truly hope this time Mr. Lu can bring the young master back."

"That's difficult," Fu Xiaoyao said after taking a sip of honey water.

"Why" Aunt Song looked at her with some confusion.

Fu Xiaoyao put down her water glass and replied, "Because we are not sure if Tang Yi is Lu Hanling yet. Even if he is, he was raised by Lu Family's enemies since childhood, his heart must also have resentment towards the Lu Family. How could he return without any qualms"

"That makes sense." Aunt Song nodded, finding it quite reasonable.

"Come to think of it, Tang Yi seems to live in this villa district." Fu Xiaoyao rubbed her chin and recalled.

"Really, ma'am" Aunt Song's eyes lit up.

"Well, he mentioned it before," Fu Xiaoyao nodded affirmatively. "But I don't know if he lives here permanently."

"That's no problem, I have some free time to inquire about it and see if I can help, sir." Aunt Song said.

Fu Xiaoyao smiled faintly, "Let Hanchuan handle this himself. If you get involved, what if Tang Yi notices something and ruins Hanchuan's plan"

"This serious" Auntie Song scratched her head.

"I don't know how serious it is," Fu Xiaoyao shrugged slightly. "Anyway, I just think we shouldn't do anything. Even if we want to help, let's wait until Hanchuan comes back and ask him."

"Alright then, ma'am. I'll go upstairs and see if the woman is awake." Song Yi said, pointing upwards.

Fu Xiaoyao hummed, "Go ahead."

Okay, I'm going.

Aunt Song went upstairs, and Fu Xiaoyao sat listlessly on the sofa alone, continuing to watch the television in front of her.

After a while, footsteps came down the stairs.

Fu Xiaoyao turned her head to look, thinking it was Aunt Song who had come back. Unexpectedly, it was Qi Ya with a sour face.

"You're finally awake." Fu Xiaoyao turned off the TV and said coldly.

Qi Ya looked over, her eyes blazing with anger, "Fu Xiaoyao, was this outfit your idea"

She tugged at her clothes, her face full of disdain.

Fu Xiaoyao took a look at her and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This laughter, falling on Qi Ya's ears, was nothing but blatant mockery.

She gritted her teeth and walked up to Fu Xiaoyao, demanding, "What are you laughing at"

"I think this outfit suits you very well," Fu Xiaoyao replied, tossing her short hair behind her ear.

Qi Yaqi's whole body trembled, "It was indeed your idea, you deliberately dressed me in this outfit to humiliate me, wasn't it"

"How did you get such an idea" Fu Xiaoyao blinked innocently, "What do you mean making a fool of yourself If I really wanted to embarrass you, you wouldn't be going downstairs in clothes right now, but naked, understand"

Qi Ya stomped her foot, "Fu Xiaoyao!"

"What are you yelling about" Fu Xiaoyao rubbed her ears. "Are you trying to see who has the louder voice"

This made Qi Ya angry again.

She never would have imagined that the once timid and easily bullied Fu Xiaoyao would become so difficult to deal with.

Okay, Fu Xiaoyao, I can't argue with you. I won't hold a grudge about the clothes, but...

"There's no 'but'. Whether you want to argue depends on whether I agree, and besides, what qualifications do you have to even argue"

Fu Xiaoyao coldly interrupted Qi Ya and sarcastically looked at her, "You got clothes changed and shelter for a night, you're not grateful but instead questioned my intentions as soon as you came. The phrase 'enmity repaid with kindness' is truly displayed by you to the fullest."

It can only be said that the saying "repaying kindness with resentment" indeed has a hereditary aspect.

Qi Ya's mother is just like that, and her daughter is the same. Sure enough, these two are truly a mother-daughter duo, both so disgusting!

I wonder if Qi Dongming's original wife will die with regretith tenderness.But the more she soothed Su Su, the more wronged Su Su felt, and she cried even harder.Qi Ya saw that she couldn't coax Su Su, and immediately vented her anger on Lu Hanchuan, "Hanchuan...
