ed to the core!”He pounded the table angrily twice.Fu Xiaoyao shook her head. "This person's way of thinking is different from ours. In his view, everything he does is right, and it's everyone else wh..."Just book one more." Lu Hánchuan waved his hand indifferently, his voice cold and indifferent.

Xiao Ya can't dance now, she can't perform as the swan on stage. Seeing the necklace inevitably brings back memories, it might be better to give it to Fu Xiaoyao.

"I understand." Since Lu Hankan had said so, Qiao's assistant naturally had no objections and pushed his glasses to do as he was told.

In the afternoon, Lu Hanchuan finished processing the documents and put on his coat to go to the hospital.

Jo Assistant, drenched in sweat, walked in holding a pile of gift boxes, "Mr. Lu!"

"What's wrong" Lu Hanchuan looked at him.

Joe's assistant placed the gift box on the sofa. "Miss Fu is not at the villa."

"Not here" Lu Hanchuan frowned.

"Yes, Aunt Song said Miss Fu went shopping."

"Shopping" Lu Hanchuan's expression darkened a bit.

He gave her a half-day off, letting her go back to rest.

She's fine, she actually went shopping.

Lu Hannan pursed his thin lips and took out his phone to call Fu Xiaoyao.

The phone was answered quickly, and Fu Xiaoyao's surprised voice came over, "President Lu"

"Where are you" Lu Hanchuan spoke coldly.

Fu Xiaoyao looked at her surroundings, covering half of her phone and lowering the volume, "I'm buying a dress outside."

"Do you have money" Lu Hanchuan raised an eyebrow.

If he remembered correctly, she had given all her money to her mother.

"Um..." Fu Xiaoyao was caught off guard, scratching her head and hesitantly replying, "I guess I could buy a cheap one..."

"Suit yourself."

After hearing the phone call, Qiao’s assistant hesitated for a few seconds, pointing at the pile of gift boxes on the sofa. “Mr. Lu, what should we do with these”

Lu Hanchuan glanced at him, "Let me park my car."

"Okay." Qiao's assistant picked up the pile of gift boxes and left.

Fu Xiaoyao faintly heard Lu Hanchuan talking to someone, quietly not disturbing him. After he finished speaking, she tentatively asked, "Mr. Lu, is there anything you need from me"

"It's nothing." Lu Hanchuan nonchalantly uttered a single sentence before ending the communication.

"Xiaoyao, whose phone call is it" Yulin came back after choosing her clothes and saw Fu Xiaoyao sitting on the sofa staring at her phone. She walked over and lightly nudged her.

Fu Xiaoyao came back to her senses, put away her phone and smiled, "My husband."

"Your husband" Yu Lin's eyes lit up, she became interested. "You've always said you're married, but I've never met your husband. When are you bringing him out to let me get to know him"

"Just wait for the opportunity," Fu Xiaoyao said, her eyes flickering with a hint of nervousness, and her smile felt strained.

She also wanted to openly declare Lu Hanchuan as her husband.

But Lu Hanchuan wouldn't allow it.

She still remembered the warning he had given her on their wedding night, telling her not to reveal their relationship to anyone.

"That's so mysterious" Yulin frowned, clearly not satisfied with the answer, but she didn't push it. She just asked curiously, "What did your husband call you for"

"I don't know either!" Fu Xiaoyao shrugged her shoulders.

When she received the phone call from Lu Hanchuan, she was still a little disbelieving.

For three years, he never called her, not even saving her number. Just now, he suddenly called and asked her where she was, which made her very puzzled.

"Hmph, I guess you don't want to tell me." Yulin feigned displeasure and pursed her lips.

Fu Xiaoyao laughed and cried, "I really don't know..."

"Alright, alright." Yu Lin waved her hand. "I'm not angry, I was just teasing you. Enough of that, try this set on and see what you think"

She picked out a pink dress and held it up to Fu Xiaoyao, “I chose this specially for you. Your personality is gentle, and pink suits you very well.”

"How much is a set" Fu Xiaoyao stood up and asked.

Yu Lin directly handed the price tag to her.

Fu Xiaoyao was so startled that she gasped, her voice rising sharply, "Ten... ten thousand"

“Quiet down!” Yu Lin saw what was happening and immediately covered her mouth. She looked around, making sure no one had noticed them, then let out a breath of relief. “What are you making such a fuss about You’re acting like we’ve never seen the world before.”

Fu Xiaoyao rolled her eyes and poked Yu Lin's arm, gesturing for her to let go.

"Let go of it, and stop yelling."

Fu Xiaoyao nodded repeatedly.

Only then did Yu Lin let her go.

Having gained her freedom, Fu Xiaoyao let out a soft sigh, her face etched with bitterness. "Linlin, this expensive gown... where could we possibly afford to buy it"

"Of course I know we can't afford it." Yulin replied calmly.

Fu Xiaoyao's lips twitched, "Then you..."

"Silly!" Yu Lin tapped her forehead, "We can rent it if we can't afford it. I did some research before coming here, a dress worth around 100,000 yuan can be rented for 5,000 yuan."

"Five thousand…" Fu Xiaoyao covered her face, "But I can't even afford the rent."

Yu Lin's movements of arranging her dress suddenly stopped. She looked at her in disbelief, "You have saved tens of thousands, how could you possibly not be able to afford to rent it"

"I've already given it to my mom."

"All of it"

Fu Xiaoyao hummed in response.

Yu Lin suppressed the anger in her heart and took a deep breath, "Fu Xiaoyao, what good can I say about you"

"What's wrong" Fu Xiaoyao blinked, confused as to why she had suddenly become angry.

"You're still asking me what's wrong" Yu Lin pointed at herself and laughed, "Didn't I tell you to stop giving your mom money so easily You gave it all at once again. Don't you know this will spoil her appetite"

"But she's my mother, and this time my brother... he got into trouble..."

"Don't be naive!" Yu Lin snorted disdainfully. "Every time your mom asks you for money, it's because of your brother's trouble Only you are foolish enough to believe it. I see the blood on your body, and sooner or later it will all be drained by them!"

"Don't say that." Fu Xiaoyao wrinkled her nose.

She also knew her parents favored sons over daughters.

But she really couldn't bear to do it. No matter what, they were still her parents and brother.

"Alright, I'll stop talking. But what about your dress Why don't I lend you a few thousand" Yu Lin asked, holding the dress on her arm.

Fu Xiaoyao shook her head and refused, "I won't wear a formal gown. I'm planning to buy a slightly more expensive dress, it should be fine too."

"Then I'll go with you to choose."

"Hmm."

After buying the clothes, it was already dark.

Fu Xiaoyao glanced at the time and muttered, "Oh no," before hurriedly hailing a cab to rush to the hotel with Yu Lin.

In the brightly lit banquet hall, people raised their glasses and mingled, creating a lively atmosphere.

This was Fu Xiaoyao's first time attending such an event, and she was dazzled by everything she saw.

"Xiaoyao, I'm going to say hello to our department manager. I'll come find you in a bit."

"Good." Fu Xiaoyao nodded.

After Yu Lin left, Fu Xiaoyao didn't know what to do. She barely knew anyone here and didn't feel like making new acquaintances. She could only grab a drink and sit in a corner, quietly watching the glamorous crowd.

"Hey, who are you Why are you dressed so awfully" A condescending laugh suddenly rang out from behind him.

Fu Xiaoyao turned her head and saw the three people from the secretary team.

The three of them were all wearing expensive evening gowns, with delicate makeup and the most beautiful poses standing there, looking at her with disdain or ridicule.

"Is there something wrong" Fu Xiaoyao stood up and asked faintly.

These three people have been targeting her at the company, so they definitely aren't here for good reasons now.

"It's nothing, we just came to say hello since we're both Lu's secretaries. But I suddenly realized we shouldn't have come, look at what you're wearing! You're really embarrassing us secretaries!"

The secretary in the middle took a step forward, tugged at Fu Xiaoyao's sleeve, and gave her a look of disdain.

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her head and scrutinized herself, "Is there something wrong with my clothes"yao stuck her tongue out at him.Six years ago, Qi Ya took her bone marrow, causing her body to deteriorate.Now, she has taken Qi Ya's kidney, fair and square!“Alright, since that’s the case, I allow y...
