That's why you, Xiaoyao, ran back to your hometown alone to recuperate, even if you were sick, you wouldn't call Xiaolu. So that's the reason! It seems like what you said about Xiaolu being busy and..."She earned her sentence reduction." Fu Xiaoyao glanced at Lu Hanchuan and gave a simple explanation.

Tang Yi slightly raised his chin in understanding, then stopped asking. He lowered his head, lost in thought, his aura somewhat low.

Lu Hanchuan could tell he was reminiscing about his grandfather's death. He pursed his lips and stood up, "Alright, it's over now. Have you finished eating If you have, get to work!"

Tang Yi knew Lu Hanchuan was comforting him, telling him not to dwell on the past. His heart felt a little warm, but his face still looked like he was contradicting him. He stood up too and said, "Fine, let's go!"

After he finished speaking, he slapped his chopsticks on the table and left the restaurant.

Lu Hanchuan sat back down, Fu Xiaoyao propped her head up and looked at him with a half-smile, "I didn't know you were good at comforting people."

Lu Hanchuan calmly sipped his coffee, "Although he's not capable, he's still my brother after all."

"Come on, just say it if you care. You have to be so roundabout and coy. You are like this, and Tang Yi is like this too." Fu Xiaoyao shrugged, picked up a napkin to wipe Xiao Bao's mouth, and said as she wiped, "I can see that Tang Yi has already accepted you as his brother in his heart, but he's just thin-skinned and doesn't want to say it outright."

Lu Hanchuan's thin lips curled up imperceptibly, hidden behind the coffee cup so that his mother and son didn't see. He gave a faint "I know."

"So, you two brothers care about each other deeply, but there's a lack of honesty. As a result, to outsiders, your relationship seems strained." Fu Xiaoyao sighed.

Lu Hanchuan put down his coffee cup and wiped the corner of his mouth, "It doesn't matter, let them go and see for themselves. As long as we know it ourselves. Besides, this is how I get along with Tang Yi, and it's the most suitable way to get along."

"That's true." Fu Xiaoyao nodded.

After being separated for more than twenty years, the two brothers have grown apart. Tang Yi was raised by Tang Shan as a tool to take revenge on the Lu family, so his feelings for them have never been that strong.

So if Tang Yi came back to the Lu family, and got close with Lu Hanchuan, that would be strange.

Besides, they were rivals in love before.

Thinking of this, Fu Xiaoyao felt a little wistful in her heart. She lowered her head and silently ate the food in her own bowl.

Lu Hanchuan stood up, “You eat slowly, I’ll go to the group first. There’s an inspection today, it’s very important, I’ll come back in the evening to accompany you.”

"Okay, go ahead. Good luck with your work." Fu Xiaoyao put down her chopsticks and stood up, helping him straighten his tie.

And Lu Hanchuan naturally leaned down and kissed her on the lips.

Fu Xiaoyao patted his collar, "Okay, it's already neat. Be careful on the way, and drive slowly."

Lu Hanchuan softly responded with an "Mhm" and rubbed Xiao Bao's hair before leaving the restaurant.

He and Tang Yi left one after the other, causing the whole restaurant to suddenly become quiet and a little deserted.

Fu Xiaoyao's food hadn't been finished yet; she just needed to continue sitting down with Xiao Bao and finish eating together, then casually ask about Xiao Bao's studies.

Although Xiao Bao speaks fluently, his sentences tend to sound unnatural when they are too long. This is especially true for his word choice and descriptions, which lack depth.

However, Fu Xiaoyao was not disappointed because Xiaobao had only been diagnosed with autism recently and still needed time to stabilize and recover. Once he recovered for a while, there would be no problem with his speaking ability.

Fu Xiaoyao stayed with Xiao Bao in the old house for about two hours until Xiao Bao's teacher arrived. She then returned to her room to change her clothes, grabbed her bag and went out to meet Yu Lin.

Just as she was about to walk to the old house gate, a figure suddenly jumped out from beside the stone lion and ran towards her, at a very fast speed.

Fu Xiaoyao was startled and didn't even bother to look at who the figure was. She quickly covered her stomach and retreated, afraid of being bumped into by the person coming towards her.

She is not feeling well, and the fetus is unstable. If she were to be hit, this child would definitely not survive.

Luckily, the figure was aware of its surroundings and didn't actually collide with Fu Xiaoyao. It stopped.

Fu Xiaoyao only then looked back at her with a hint of fear, seeing that it was Lin Muhui, her eyes first flashed a surprised look, and then she frowned her pretty eyebrows, "Miss Lin, you're still here"

Didn't they see her when Hanchuan and Tang Yi left

Lin Mu Xi's eyes were red as she stared at Fu Xiao Yao. After a long while, she suddenly knelt down before Fu Xiao Yao with a thud.

Her move startled Fu Xiaoyao again, who instinctively took a step back. "Miss Lin, what are you doing"

"Mrs. Lu, please, I beg you, can you say a few words to the chairman for me" Lin Mu Xi bit her lip and tears welled up in her eyes, streaming down her face.

Fu Xiaoyao looked at her like this, feeling a headache coming on.

What she dislikes most are people who cry constantly, as if someone has wronged them, putting on an act of pitiful grievance. It's just annoying to look at.

Most importantly, she's actually very bad at dealing with this kind of person because these people are all very cunning. They usually portray themselves as physically weak. What if she hasn't done anything and they just faint Then she wouldn't be able to explain herself.

So she still likes to deal with those who are obviously bad. Those people won't pretend to be weak, so she can fight them without any trouble.

It is clearly evident that the Lin Mu-xi before us is not someone overtly malicious, but rather an individual with a seemingly innocent and kind exterior, yet a heart shrouded in darkness.

"Miss Lin, why don't you get up first" Fu Xiaoyao rubbed her temples and tried to speak patiently.

As she spoke, she also bent down and reached out to help the person up.

However, Lin Mu-xi knelt and moved a step back, shaking her head and waving her hands, refusing to let her up. “No, I won’t stand up unless Mrs. Lu agrees to me.”

Well, resorting to threats again

Fu Xiaoyao was worried that Lin Muhxi's wild swings would hit her stomach. She straightened up and didn't bother to help him up. She looked at her own short nails, which had been trimmed and the nail polish removed, and said in a flat tone: "Don't you get up unless I agree"

Lin Mu-xi nodded, "Yes!"

Fu Xiaoyao smiled, "Since that's the case, then you kneel down."

After she finished speaking, she walked past Lin Muhi and was about to leave.

Lin Muhi's eyes widened in surprise.

It was obvious that she was stunned by the turn of events, it wasn't how she had imagined it.

But she didn't dwell on it too much, quickly stood up and chased after Fu Xiaoyao.

Because of the child, Fu Xiaoyao dared not walk too fast, so she was soon caught up by Lin Muqi.

Lin Mu Xi spread her arms, blocking her way.

Fu Xiaoyao pursed her lips and looked at her, sneering: "Miss Lin didn't say she couldn't speak, how come she suddenly stood up You're breaking your promise too quickly, it's almost as if you have no credibility at all."

Listening to Fu Xiaoyao's mockery, Lin Muhi felt a bit humiliated inside, but on the surface she still looked like she was wronged but also tenacious. "Mrs. Lu, how can you be so heartless"

"Ruthless" Fu Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow. "Miss Lin, how have I been ruthless"

"I knelt on the ground, begging you so much, yet you wouldn't even agree. And yesterday, when I wanted to see you, you refused, making me wait outside in the rain for so long. Is this not heartless" Lin Mu Xi put down her arms and accused loudly.

Hearing about her own crimes, Fu Xiaoyao laughed in anger, “So that’s how it is, then I'm too wronged, right”

Lin Mu-xi bit her lip tightly and said nothing, apparently not agreeing with her pathetic excuses. took out a chocolate from the drawer. He unwrapped it, broke off a piece, and put it in Fu Xiaoyao's mouth.Fu Xiaoyao took the chocolate gracefully, "Thank you, husband.""You're welcome." Lu Hanchuan...
