o.But…Fu Xiaoyao still wanted to speak, but when she saw his expression, the guilt that had just risen in her throat was swallowed back down.She didn't know how to compensate for taking so much money...Lu Hanzhan narrowed his eyes, "No, even if I really could, I wouldn't let you be wrongly accused."
"Is that so..." Fu Xiaoyao's eyelids drooped, concealing the mockery in her eyes.
Will you make sure she doesn't get wrongly accused
Six years ago, wasn't she suffering enough because of him
How could he be so certain he wouldn't let her be wronged He couldn't even do that six years ago. To him now, she was nothing more than a stranger who looked like his former wife. How could he possibly guarantee that
Thinking about this, Fu Xiaoyao smiled coldly in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She put on a relieved look and said, "Since Mr. Lu said so, then I must do it, otherwise I won't work!"
Lu Hanchuan hummed in response.
Fu Xiaoyao stopped talking, she hooked her arm into his and walked toward the auction hall.
The auction was indeed lively, with each artifact being sold one after another.
Fu Xiaoyao showed no interest in these artifacts and never raised a bid once.
Lu Hanchuan also had no intention of filming.
Fu Xiaoyao didn't ask him why he wasn't bidding, she silently waited for the auction to end.
After the auction ends, there is a banquet specially held by the auction house to entertain guests.
Fu Xiaoyao brought two glasses of red wine from the waiter and walked to the balcony. Just as she reached behind Lu Hantian, she saw him putting away his phone.
"The girl in the photo is adorable, is that your daughter" Fu Xiaoyao passed her one of the glasses of red wine.
Lu Hanchuan said thanks after that, and took it over with a light hum, “I guess so.”
"Is that so" Fu Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow in surprise.
She had always known that Lu Hanchuan was good to Qi Yasing's daughter and thought he would generously agree that she was his daughter.
To my surprise, he just gave a vague answer like "that's about it".
Why is that
Not only did Fu Xiaoyao not understand this question, but even Lu Hanchuan himself couldn't figure it out.
He didn't know why he answered as he did, but his first instinct was to avoid giving her the wrong impression about the little girl in the photo being his daughter.
As for why he didn't want her to misunderstand, he didn't know.
"Well, she is my daughter, because she's not biologically mine." Lu Hanchuan took a sip of his red wine and replied to Fu Xiaoyao.
Fu Xiaoyao's eyes flashed, and she feigned surprise. "Not biologically related"
Lu Hanchuan hummed again.
"Did you adopt her" Fu Xiaoyao feigned great interest.
Lu Hanchuan did not answer, he just drank.
"It seems you really adopted him. You and your wife are truly kind-hearted, especially Mr. Lu, you treat the adopted children just like your own. I heard that last year you specially bought a children's amusement park for your eldest daughter's birthday, right" Fu Xiaoyao said this while slowly placing one hand behind her back, clenching it tightly, revealing her inner anger at this moment.
He is truly good to Qi Ya's daughter, so good that he even acquires the children's amusement park when it says it's for sale.
And his own son, he didn't even know he existed.
It is truly ironic!
"A children's playground" Lu Hanchuan listened to Fu Xiaoyao's words, his deep eyes revealing a hint of confusion, "You mean the one in the north of the city"
"Right." Fu Xiaoyao took a sip of her wine.
Lu Hanchuan chuckled softly, "That wasn't acquired for Su Su by me."
"Eh" Fu Xiaoyao was stunned. "No"
Is her message wrong
What she heard was clearly that he had acquired the property for Qi Ya's daughter!
"Well, I just thought that children's amusement park had acquisition value, so I had it acquired. Who knew that day happened to be SuSu's birthday, and the outside world speculated that I acquired it for SuSu." Lu Hanchuan explained faintly.
Fu Xiaoyao's lips moved, and after a long pause, she spoke, "So that's how it is. I misunderstood."
Originally, it wasn't bought for Qi Ya's daughter.
Even so, she was still very angry.
Because he was genuinely good to Qi Ya's daughter, and all that goodness should have belonged to Xiao Bao but was enjoyed by Qi Ya's daughter instead, she couldn't forgive him for that!
Crackle!
Just as she was thinking, Fu Xiaoyao suddenly heard the sound of breaking glass coming from beside her.
She was startled and quickly regained her composure, turning towards the source of the sound. She saw Lu Hanzchuan lying on the railing with a pained expression, his eyes closed and his face pale.
And by his feet lay the shattered red wine glass he had just broken, its contents staining the floor and soiling his trousers.
"Hey, are you okay" Fu Xiaoyao put down the red wine in her hand and gently nudged the man.
She appeared to be very worried and anxious, but in reality, her eyes held nothing but coldness.
It's just that I was a little surprised by his current situation, wondering if he was doing well. I didn't expect him to suddenly change like this.
"I'm fine..." Lu Hanchuan answered, his voice laced with pain.
Fu Xiaoyao's lips curled slightly, "Are you really alright But I think you seem to be in pain."
Lu Hanchuan didn't respond, his breathing becoming heavy.
After a while, he seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. His body grew weak and he slumped backward.
Fu Xiaoyao saw this, and she didn't mean to help him up, letting him fall to the ground.
Boom!
A dull thud followed.
Lu Hanchuan fell to the ground, seemingly unconscious.
Fu Xiaoyao just stood there, watching him as he slowly picked up the wine glass she had just put down. She took a sip leisurely and then went forward to help him up, walking towards the rest room.
In the lounge, she tossed him onto a bed and went to his pocket, pulling out his phone and preparing to contact Joe Wood to pick him up.
Just as he unlocked his phone with his fingerprint, a call suddenly popped up, showing Qi Ya as the caller.
Looking at this name that made her hate to the bone, Fu Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed in an instant, and the aura around her became frighteningly cold.
She hadn't come looking for me yet, but here she is, walking right into my life.
Since they've run into each other, she couldn't just let it go.
I need to find a way to get some interest from this woman first!
Just what kind of method
Fu Xiaoyao's eyes darted back and forth before landing on Lu Hanchuan. An idea immediately popped into her head, but it was a shameless one, making her hesitate whether she should use it.
After a few seconds of thought, Fu Xiaoyao finally compromised and decided to use this method to get some interest back from Qi Ya.
Thinking about this, Fu Xiaoyao stopped agonizing and picked up the phone.
"Hanchuan, are you still at the auction When will you be back SuSu misses you!" A sweet voice inquired from the other end of the phone.
Fu Xiaoyao rolled her eyes.
What she means by "Su Su misses you" is that this woman is just using the child as an excuse.
"Hello, is this Mrs. Lu" Fu Xiaoyao reined in her emotions and asked in a softer voice.
On the phone, Qi Ya was stunned at first, thinking she had dialed the wrong number. She hurriedly took her phone and looked at it. It wasn't a mistake. It was indeed Lu Hanzchuan's number. Then, a sense of crisis surged through her as she demanded in a stern voice, "Who are you How did you get my husband's phone"
Husband
Fu Xiaoyao's eyes dimmed.
Once upon a time, she also used to call Lu Hanchuan that way.
But now, this title no longer belongs to her!
“I’m so sorry, Mrs. Lu. I am Mr. Lu’s date for tonight. I didn’t mean to take his phone; Mr. Lu had too much alcohol and is drunk, so I answered the call for him.” Fu Xiaoyao replied in her usual soft voice, but her face was devoid of any expression.
Qi Ya was furious, "Girlfriend Who let you be his girlfriend"
"Of course it's President Lu!" Fu Xiaoyao blinked innocently, "If it wasn't for President Lu's invitation, how could I dare to be her date Mrs. Lu, isn't that right"this. Grandfather was so good to me, why would I hurt him What benefit would I get from doing this""Yes, sir, I don't believe Mrs. Fu would do such a thing either." Aunt Song stood by Xiao Yao's side....
