ith the new tax laws in China today, you should be able to imagine how high the tax rate is for this school each year."Upon hearing this, Lisa silently calculated in her heart. After finishing the cal...Fu Xiaoyao shook the bag in her hand. "I don't have much, just this."

"Then let's go." He walked towards the door with one hand in his pocket.

Fu Xiaoyao hurried to catch up.

The two went down the stairs one after the other. Aunt Song was waiting for them in the living room, "Mr. and Mrs., are you going back to the old house now"

"Mm." Fu Xiaoyao nodded.

"Be careful on your way," Aunt Song instructed.

Fu Xiaoyao smiled and walked out of the villa with Lu Hanchuan.

His car was parked right by the entrance. Fu Xiaoyao waved to Aunt Song and got into the car after opening the door.

After getting on the bus, she realized there was someone else on board—it was Joe Wood!

"Good evening, madam," Qiao Mu greeted with a smile.

Only when they were the only ones present would he call her "Mrs.".

Fu Xiaoyao smiled back, "Hello."

Jiao Mu no longer paid attention to her, started the car, and glanced at Lu Hanchuan in the rearview mirror, "President Lu, I have the results of the investigation into Mr. Tang you asked me to look into."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao's spirits lifted, and her posture straightened noticeably.

Her unconscious little movements were noticed by Lu Hanchuan, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

This woman, is she this concerned about that Mr. Tang

"Speak!" Lu Hanchuan coldly spat out a word.

Qiao Mu quickly replied, “Tang Yi is the adopted son of Tang Shan, the chairman of the Tang Group...”

"Wait a moment." Lu Hanchuan interrupted him, "You're talking about an adopted son"

"Yes, he is indeed adopted. Although Chairman Tang claimed to the public that Tang Yi was his son, in reality their relationship is adoptive. And there's something strange about it – Tang Yi appeared suddenly, and all his past information is fabricated."

"Fake" Lu Hanchuan's eyes narrowed.

Fu Xiaoyao sensed the tension in the air and unconsciously swallowed, listening quietly.

"Yes, I double-checked it, everything is fake. Even the name Tang Yi is a recent change. As for what he was called before, which school he attended, and where he was adopted by Mr. Tang, all records are unavailable. Everything that can be found is false." Qiao Mu said while turning the steering wheel.

Lu Hanchuan tapped his knee, silent for a moment before speaking, "Have you found out why they hid the data and changed their name"

"This one doesn't, but..."

"But what"

Joe cleared his throat. "While I was looking through the files, I happened to discover that Chairman Tang and the old man had a falling out."

"Who is the old gentleman" Fu Xiaoyao couldn't help but ask curiously.

Lu Hanchuan pursed his lips, "My father."

"What" Fu Xiaoyao exclaimed.

It was actually his father.

This was still her first time hearing about his parents.

"My father has a grudge against Tangshan" Lu Hanchuan clenched his hand on his knee.

Why hadn't he heard about this.

“Yes, but it wasn't a big deal. Back then, the Lu Group was still run by Mr. Lu. They competed with President Tang for a piece of land. President Tang put a lot of effort into it, but in the end, he lost to Mr. Lu. Because of this, President Tang even said...” Qiao Mu stopped the car and waited for the red light.

Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes. "What are you talking about"

Qiao Mu turned her head and glanced at him, replying, "It's said that in his lifetime, Tang will no longer cooperate with Lu."

"That's strange," Fu Xiaoyao suddenly interjected.

Lu Hanzhan slightly turned his face, “Tell me, what’s strange”

"That's exactly what I'm talking about," Fu Xiaoyao touched her chin, "Didn't he say that he wouldn't cooperate with the Lu family in his lifetime But he didn't die, and now Tang Yi is cooperating with us, isn't that going against what he said"

"What the madam said makes sense." Qiao Mu agreed.

Lu Hanchuan leaned back, "This time the cooperation between Tang and Lu families, was it Tang Yi's idea, or Tang Shan's"

"I don't know about that." Qiao Mu shook his head.

Fu Xiaoyao's lips moved, "Hanchuan, maybe we shouldn't cooperate with Tang shi after all."

"Why" Lu Hanchuan looked at her.

Fu Xiaoyao let out a breath and organized her thoughts. "Of course, it's because I'm afraid there might be some conspiracy. As you just said, Mr. Tang, the chairman, has a grudge with the Lu family, and he even said those things. Now that he suddenly cooperates with Lu Shi, I'm worried about a conspiracy. Could they be using the cooperation to target Lu Shi"

After hearing her words, Lu Hanchuan's eyes changed, becoming somewhat admiring. "I didn't expect you to have such awareness," he said.

Fu Xiaoyao embarrassedly touched her nose, "It's really what happened during the day, it's been on my mind all the time."

"What you said isn't impossible," Lu Hanchuan crossed his arms. "However, the cooperation still has to continue."

Fu Xiaoyao was surprised, "Aren't you afraid that there might be some real problems"

"I just want to know what Tang Shi is going to do to keep going. If they are really targeting the Lu family, they will avoid this time and next time. If so, why don't I face them head-on" Lu Hanchuan lightly raised his eyelids.

"But..." Fu Xiaoyao was still a little worried.

Lu Hchuan suddenly reached out and patted her head. "It's okay, I have it under control. You don't need to worry about these things, you just need to stay away from anyone in the Tang family, especially Tang Yi, understand"

"Hmm," Fu Xiaoyao nodded. "I understand, but you have to be careful. What if they are really targeting the Lu Corporation for that piece of land I'm afraid they might play dirty during the collaboration."

"Don't worry, Madam. Mr. Lu has seen all sorts of schemes and tricks. When the old master and mistress first had an accident, Mr. Lu was only a teenager. After taking over the Lu Corporation, those old board members thought he was too young and targeted him in every way possible, but Mr. Lu still made it through." Qiao Mu said with a smile ahead.

Fu Xiaoyao, hearing this, felt a pang of sympathy. "You must have suffered a lot back then, right"

"Pain" Lu Hanchuan's lips curled into a cold arc. "Getting rid of those corporate parasites one by one and kicking them out of the board of directors isn't exactly painful."

"Uh..." Fu Xiaoyao twitched the corner of her mouth, "Okay, as if I said anything."

Those people who ran into him, they are really pitiful!

Why bully him, the big boss, when you have nothing better to do He deserves to be kicked out!

Thinking about it, Fu Xiaoyao’s lips curled up into an unconcealable smile.

This is her husband, he controlled a huge corporation at such a young age and drove away those who bullied him.

That's amazing!

"Why are you smiling" Lu Hanchuan looked at Fu Xiaoyao's smile on her face and asked abruptly.

Fu Xiaoyao quickly suppressed her smile and shook her head. “Nothing, just thinking about some things that make me proud.”

"Is that so." Lu Hanchuan uttered two words lightly, without asking further. Apparently, he was not interested in the proud things she had said.

Half an hour later, the Lu family's old house arrived.

The old man knew they were coming back, so he was waiting for them in the hall early and told Fu Bo to greet them at the gate of the old house.

"Master and Mistress, you've finally arrived." Butler Fu stepped forward to take the bag from Fu Xiaoyao's hand and greeted them with a smile.

"Uncle Fu, have you been waiting for long"

Fu Bo smiled even more kindly, "It hasn't been long, come in quickly, the old master is waiting for you all in the main hall."

Saying that, he led Fu Xiaoyao and the other two into the old house.

This was Fu Xiaoyao's second time visiting the old house. The first time was three years ago, when she had just married Lu Hanchuan.

Three years ago, she was overwhelmed by the grandeur of the old house, and now it's still the same.

The Lu family's old house is a genuine ancient-style garden, large in scale. It takes half a day to walk through the several courtyards.

According to Lu Hanchuan, this courtyard has existed for over a hundred years and was passed down from the ancestors of the Lu family.

Thinking about it, Fu Xiaoyao was just about to ask Lu Hanchuan about other questions regarding the old house, but she saw that there was no one around her.

"Hanchuan, why are you still back there"1 meters tall this year and weighs close to 60 kilograms. She is a real chubby girl.But this child...Qiao Mu's heart ached for the child. "This child is truly pitiful. I can't imagine how Lu Su Su and...
