He Youran frowned as she recognized Chen Meiyuâs voice.
What was Chen Meiyu doing here?
Wasnât she in Rong City?
âPang Zhong,â Lu Qingzhuo called out.
Pang Zhong, who had been standing guard not far away, immediately stepped forward and said to Lu Qingzhuo,
âIâll go take a look, butâ¦â
Pang Zhong was a little hesitant.
What if it really was He Youranâs parents?
He couldnât just throw them out like he did to other random people, right?
Only then did Lu Qingzhuo realize that he hadnât asked He Youran for her opinion.
When he had inquired about He Youranâs identity, he had already gained an understanding of the He familyâs situation in Rong City. She was her fatherâs ex-wifeâs daughter. Her biological father, and her stepmother had another child. She hadnât been good at talking since she was young, and there was even a birthmark on her face that affected her beauty. It was not an exaggeration to describe her days in the He family in Rong city as miserable.
So, he naturally listed He Nantian and Chen Meiyu as people who did not treat He Youran well. Naturally, he did not have a good impression of them.
But, he did not ask about He Youranâs thoughts.
Would He Youran think that he was too pretentious and overbearing?
Lu Qingzhuo was a little nervous. He raised his head to look at He Youran and pursed his lips. Just as he was about to ask He Youran what to do, He Youran interrupted him and asked,
âDo you want to go with me to take a look?â
She knew very well how conflicted this man was because he couldnât help her many times. If she continued to act alone, perhaps Lu Qingzhuo would think too much.
It was very difficult to coax a man when he was in a sensitive period!
So, He Youran decisively called Lu Qingzhuo over.
As expected, Lu Qingzhuo was extremely happy. Even his eyes lit up.
âYouâre willing to let me go with you?â
âYouâre my husband, why wouldnât I be willing?â He Youran asked.
Her husbandâ¦
Even though he knew that they were only in a contractual marriage, Lu Qingzhuoâs heart still jumped when he heard these words. If there were no outsiders around, he really wanted to give He Youran a proper hug!
âLetâs go.â
He Youran rubbed her nose. She felt that Lu Qingzhuoâs gaze was getting stronger and she couldnât take it anymore.
She pushed Lu Qingzhuoâs wheelchair and decided to settle Chen Meiyuâs matter first.
The three people in the prison were not related to Lu Shouxin by blood. The remaining one was dead and the last one was nowhere to be found. She even suspected that Chen Meiyu was playing a trick on her. It was a good opportunity to ask her about it!
After all, it was a family matter of the Lu family. Even if there were curious people at the gathering, they couldnât directly go up and ask about it.
So, only Lu Qingzhuo and He Youran went to the entrance of the courtyard. As for the gathering, it was nearing its end. With Old Madam Lu and Lu Qinglan around, it wouldnât be rude to send the guests off. Moreover, Pang Zhong was there to oversee the gathering, so Lu Qingzhuo was very assured.
He had someone invite He Nantian, Chen Meiyu, and He Xueâer to a quiet place in advance. Of course, the best place was in a sealed room, but Chen Meiyu was obviously here to cause trouble, so she was unwilling to go to the VIP room.
Seeing Chen Meiyu, He Youran asked straightforwardly,
âWhat are you guys doing here?â
Chen Meiyu looked at He Youran, her eyes flashing with jealousy and unwillingness.
This stepdaughter of hers had a introverted personality since she was young. Her face was ugly, and she was very unlikable. Finally, she used a trick to destroy her and let her leave Rong city. But after she came back, He Youran seemed to have changed into a different person.
She did not care about the previous engagement, and she did not even bat an eyelid to the mother and daughter. She had even become a student of the famous surgeon Alone, becoming the pillar of support for Rong Cityâs number one hospital.
The person they had once trampled under their feet had even climbed onto the high branch of the imperial capitalâs Lu family. Now, she had even become the daughter-in-law of the second family in China, the famous Mrs. Lu.
The situation she was in could be said to have skyrocketed!
