oung mistress of the Lu family's main branch. She doesn't have to be afraid of any difficulties from the collateral branches.She also represented the family and her grandfather and Kankawa. If she wer...What does he mean by that
What else is there besides that land
And his voice, filled with hatred...
No longer daring to think further, Fu Xiaoyao held her breath and quietly hid behind the kitchen door, wanting to hear what Tang Yi would say next.
However, to her disappointment, Tang Yi didn't say another word after that. He only occasionally responded to the person on the phone.
After a few minutes, Tang Yi said goodbye on the phone. Fu Xiaoyao knew his call was ending and quickly disguised her panic. She poured herself a glass of water and pretended nothing had happened as she walked into the living room.
"Tang Yi," she said to Tang Yi with a smile.
Tang Yi didn't know she had returned. Seeing her come out of the kitchen, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he asked in a low voice, "When did you come back"
"Just now." Fu Xiaoyao answered calmly.
Tang Yi narrowed her eyes and feigned indifference, asking, "Just now Then how come I didn't hear you coming back"
"I tried to say hello to you, but you were on the phone, so you probably didn't hear." Fu Xiaoyao took a sip of water and walked over to sit on the sofa.
Tang Yi gripped the phone in his hand, his eyes fixed on her face, "So, did you hear anything I said"
"No." Fu Xiaoyao looked at him calmly and naturally. "When I came back, you were standing on the balcony, holding a phone and not saying a word. If it weren't for the occasional 'mm,' I thought you weren't talking on the phone but asleep."
As she answered, she also pretended to be recalling the scene at the time, hoping to prove that she hadn't heard anything.
Tang Yi took a deep look at her for a while. He really didn't see any signs of nervousness or lying in her face and eyes. After that, his serious expression finally dissipated and turned back into his usual playful demeanor. "That's good. I'm talking about company secrets here. What if you went and told President Lu"
"I'm not that uncouth," Fu Xiaoyao rolled her eyes, pretending to be disdainful, but inwardly she let out a sigh of relief.
Heaven knows how hard it was for her to pretend she hadn't heard a thing.
Especially when she met his suspicious eyes, her heart pounded like thunder. She dared not breathe too loudly, afraid that a careless slip would expose the turmoil and anxiety in her heart, revealing to him that she was lying.
Luckily, her acting was passable enough that she managed to pull it off.
"Tsk, you love Lu so much, to the point of giving up your dignity. Who knows if you'll betray me for him," Tang Yi said, half-joking and half-serious.
Fu Xiaoyao fell silent for two seconds, then smiled, "Don't worry, I won't betray my friends."
But enemies... are not necessarily.
"That's all I need to hear. Well, I should be going." Tang Yi adjusted his tie and picked up the file folder on the coffee table, walking towards the door.
Fu Xiaoyao got up and followed him, "You came here just for this"
She looked at the manila folder in his hand. The contents were hidden behind a layer of brown paper.
However, judging from the outline, it seems to be quite a thick volume of data.
"Yeah, what's up" Tang Yi tucked the file bag under his arm.
Fu Xiaoyao shook her head, "It's nothing, I just have something to tell you."
"You said so," Tang Yi looked at her.
Fu Xiaoyao lowered her eyelids, "It's just that I might have to stay here with you for a long time. Will you agree"
Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, then chuckled lightly, “Fu Xiaoyao, are you stupid I said before that you can stay here as long as you want, so why are you suddenly asking me this again”
Fu Xiaoyao's eyes flashed, "It's nothing, just worried that you forgot what you said back then."
"Oh, I'm not that forgetful. Is there anything else" Tang Yi asked again.
Fu Xiaoyao shook her head, "No, you go slowly."
"Well, I'm off." Tang Yi waved his hand and walked out of the apartment building.
Fu Xiaoyao kept smiling and watching him until he disappeared at the elevator entrance. Only then did she close the door, and at the same time, the smile on her face slowly vanished, replaced by a coldness.
She had originally planned to move into her new apartment tonight, but unexpectedly, she overheard his phone call.
The content of the phone call made her deeply uneasy and unable to care about anything else, which is why she suddenly changed her mind and decided to stay. She wanted to see if she could find any other clues.
Tang Yi just said on the phone that piece of land, should be the one where Lu Hanchuan had an accident this morning. If she's not mistaken, from what he said, it means that the land Lu Hanchuan bought was arranged by him!
That is to say, it was he who designed for Lu Hanchuan to buy that land, with the aim of letting Lu Hanchuan suffer this loss.
And that's not all. Tang Yi clearly said on the phone that there were still means waiting for Lu Hanchuan in the future, and his tone was full of hatred when he spoke. It can be seen that Tang Yi's feelings towards Lu Hanchuan are definitely more than just disliking him, but harboring a deep grudge!
At this thought, Fu Xiaoyao's heart felt like a tangled mess, very restless.
She thought, if she hadn't happened to overhear Tang Yi's phone call, she might not have known that Tang Yi actually had a grudge against Lu Hanchuan, and he had hidden it so deep!
"Tang Yi..." Fu Xiaoyao whispered the two words, something stirring within her.
But she was hesitant to confirm, because she had no evidence to prove that Tang Yi and the family behind him, the Tang family, were the hidden enemies of the Lu family.
After all, Lu Hanchuan had met Tang Shan abroad last time and hadn't found anything wrong with her. Besides, she had also met Tang Shan herself on the day of the old man's funeral.
Although Tangshan looked old, he bore no resemblance whatsoever to the elderly man who had a grudge against the Lu family. He was not the same person at all.
So, she couldn't really be sure if the Tang family was an enemy of the Lu family, unless she found some evidence...
Fu Xiaoyao's gaze fell on Tang Yi's bedroom and study. Her heart hammered in her chest, beating so fast it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.
A person's bedroom and study often contain his most important things.
If Tang Yi and his family, the Tang clan, were truly enemies of the Lu family, then there might be clues in his room and study.
Thinking about it, Fu Xiaoyao held her breath and walked towards Tang Yi's bedroom door. Although she was the only one in the entire apartment, she still felt like a thief, uneasy. After all, she had never done anything like this before, and Tang Yi hadn't wronged her either. Deep down, she always felt guilty doing this.
But this guilt couldn't overcome her strong desire to find the enemy of the Lu family, so even though she felt sorry for Tang Yi, she could only do this.
"I'm sorry, Tang Yi..." Fu Xiaoyao whispered an apology, then reached out and grabbed the doorknob, twisting it with all her might. She found that the door was locked from the inside and wouldn't budge at all.
Fu Xiaoyao was stunned. Would someone lock their own door in an apartment they rarely lived in
Most people probably wouldn't, right
But isn't this also indirectly implying that there are indeed some things in this room that shouldn't be seen
Fu Xiaoyao bit her lip, loosened her grip, and walked toward the door of Tang Yi's study again, wanting to see if it was also locked.
But in the end, it turned out she was right. The study door was also locked.
It seems Tang Yi is really suspicious.
Should she tell Lu Hanchuan about this discovery take her hand. "Let's go, grandpa is waiting." 。"Well!" Fu Xiaoyao nodded emphatically, glanced at the hand they were holding together, then at his tall figure, a sweet smile couldn't help but bloom...
