sarily mean they're back together." Shi Mo gently patted her on the back, helping to stabilize her emotions.Fu Xiaoyao scoffed, "How do you explain Si Nian's words then If they hadn't gotten back toge...Lu Hanchuan lightly opened his thin lips and replied, "That means, after you give me the money, I will go out and warn them, so they won't come to ask for money again."
"That's how it is," Fu Xiaoyao nodded, indicating she understood, then said, "But let's forget about the money."
"How so" Lu Hanchuan raised an eyebrow.
Fu Xiaoyao chuckled a little embarrassedly, "Before, because I gave them money without any bottom line, I actually spoiled them and made them think that as long as they asked me for it, they would definitely get the money. But now I understand how wrong my previous approach was."
"So you're not going to give me any more" Lu Hanchuan said.
Fu Xiaoyao softly hummed in response.
Lu Hanchuan drawled, "Your idea is right, but it's hard to do. Are you sure you can do it"
Fu Xiaoyao hesitated, after two seconds, she nodded with a little less confidence, "It should be possible."
To be honest, although she said that, she didn't really have confidence that she could do it completely.
She could refuse some outlandish requests for money, but if the Fu family really got into trouble, she might not have a choice.
“I knew it.” Lu Hanchuan propped his head up with one hand. “They’ve relied on you for so many years, and now that you've decided to stop giving them money, they definitely won't give up easily. So some things, have to be dealt with slowly.”
"I know, but this time Zixuan's wedding wants over a million dollars, I really won't give it." Fu Xiaoyao clenched her hands and said with determination.
Lu Hanchuan put a piece of meat into her bowl, "Do whatever you want. If anything happens, give me a call, and I'll help you."
"Well, thank you." Fu Xiaoyao expressed her sincere gratitude.
Lu Hanchuan raised his chin and said nothing.
Fu Xiaoyao picked up a piece of fish from her bowl and took a bite. After swallowing, she suddenly remembered something, "Right!"
Lu Hanchuan was taken aback by her surprise, "What's wrong"
"I almost forgot, I saw Tang Yi this afternoon."
Hearing this name, Lu Hanchuan tightened his grip on his chopsticks and his expression turned cold. "Did you speak"
"Hmm..." Hearing the coldness in his voice, Fu Xiaoyao shrank her neck.
Lu Hanchuan pursed his thin lips into a straight line, "What did you say"
"It's nothing, just curious about how I came back. After all, when I left, he was the one who sent me to the station. Besides, he said some strange things to me, which felt very wrong." Fu Xiaoyao's expression turned very serious as she said this.
Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes, "What's wrong with what I said"
"He asked me if I had made up with you and said that I shouldn't regret it later." Fu Xiaoyao replied, "That sounded like he was saying that I wouldn't regret making up with you again, but I always felt there was something else behind his words. But what exactly, I couldn't tell."
Upon hearing this, Lu Hanchuan pondered for a moment, "I understand."
"You know what that means, don't you" Fu Xiaoyao stared at him with wide eyes, her expression a mixture of shock and surprise.
"No, I mean," Lu Hanchuan shook his head slightly, "I'll investigate Tang Yi thoroughly."
"But you investigated him before, didn't you Besides knowing that his identity was a bit off, you didn't find out anything else, so you ended up giving up. Now you want to investigate again" Fu Xiaoyao said.
Lu Hanchuan pinched the bridge of his nose, "Just like you said, you felt something was off about what he said, and I did too. So I'm going to check it again. Also, where did you see him"
"At the station near headquarters, he said he was taking his father to the airport."
"Wait, what did you say His father" Lu Hanchuan's expression changed slightly.
"He said that, didn't he Is there something wrong with it"
Lu Hanchuan didn't answer immediately. He fell silent for a moment, as if deep in thought, before speaking in a low voice, "Tang Shan, Tang Yi's father, settled abroad over twenty years ago. Back then, he left very suddenly, and no one knew why. What was most puzzling was that he had once said he would never come back in his lifetime, but now he has suddenly returned."
There must be something wrong here.
"Twenty years ago" Fu Xiaoyao's surprised voice rose an octave, "Twenty years ago, you probably weren't even old enough to remember. How did you know"
"That's what Grandpa told me. When he passed on the Lu Corporation, he told me a lot of secrets about other groups." Lu Hanchuan answered simply.
"That's knowing yourself and your enemy," Fu Xiaoyao suddenly realized.
"About that." Lu Hanchuan nodded.
Fu Xiaoyao touched her chin and thought for a moment, "Hearing you say that, Tang Yi's father suddenly coming back must have ulterior motives, right"
"It should be, otherwise there's no explanation for why he would come back without a word." Lu Hanchuan replied.
Fu Xiaoyao bit her lip. "Then, what is his purpose Could it be related to you and the Lu family"
"What do you mean" Lu Hanchuan looked at her.
Fu Xiaoyao scratched her head, "I'm not sure, it's just a gut feeling. And I suddenly remembered what Tang Yi said this afternoon, he said that after sending his father back, he passed by the headquarters of Lu Corporation on the way, but the airport is in the north and Lu Corporation's headquarters is in the south. How could he go such a roundabout way when returning to Tang Corporation"
Hearing this, Lu Hanchuan's eyes flickered a few times, "Tell me all your speculations."
“Oh.” Fu Xiaoyao knew he had heard her, so she hurriedly replied, “Generally, people who have sent off friends or family members would choose the nearest route back home, unless there's a traffic jam, they would take a longer detour. But the airport side is an eight-lane road and it has never been congested, so instead of saying it was a coincidence, it’s more likely that he purposely drove past the Lu Corporation headquarters.”
"You make a lot of sense." Lu Hanchuan was very surprised that she could think of so much.
However, her speculation did remind him.
Tang Yi's words to her, and intentionally taking a detour past the Lu Corporation headquarters.
Together, these points already suggest that Tang Yi harbors an abnormal attitude towards the Lu family, so he must investigate it thoroughly.
"What are you going to do then" Fu Xiaoyao asked Lu Hanchuan.
Lu Hannan rubbed his temples, "First, let people investigate Tang Yi and see if he truly has malicious intentions towards the Lu family. As for the rest, we'll talk about it later."
"That's how it is," Fu Xiaoyao nodded, "Then be careful."
"Are you concerned about me" Lu Hanchuan looked at her with a half-smile.
She darted her eyes nervously, "Alright, let's eat. The food's getting cold."
After finishing her words, she grabbed the chopsticks on the table and hastily shoved two mouthfuls of rice into her mouth.
Lu Hanchuan saw her avoiding the answer, shook his head helplessly, but didn't insist on her response. He continued to eat his own meal.
After dinner, Lu Hanchuan went to the bathroom to take a shower, while Fu Xiaoyao cleaned up the kitchen.
The kitchen had just been tidied up when her cell phone in her pocket suddenly rang. She took it out and looked, feeling a headache coming on instantly.
This call was from Fu Zixuan, and as for the purpose of the call, she didn't need to think about it.
And she made it clear yesterday that she wouldn't give him any money, and she didn't have any to give him.
Thinking about it, Fu Xiaoyao hung up the phone without mercy.
But Fu Zixuan wasn't giving up, and soon launched another attack.
Fu Xiaoyao heard the phone ringing in her purse like a death knell, making her irritable. She couldn't bear it any longer and grabbed her phone, forcefully swiping the answer button, "Hello"
Her voice was somewhat cold.
On the phone, Fu Zixuan was displeased with her attitude, but thinking of the reason for his call, he could only bite the bullet and smile flatteringly, "Sister, have you eaten yet"
Sis
Fu Xiaoyao's expression was strange, her eyebrows twitching.
He actually calls her sisterr" Looking at the woman, Lu Hankan's eyes lit up with a smile.Fu Xiaoyao listened to his words, relaxed her face, and glared fiercely at him, "Even if I was willing last night, you were the first one...
