Chapter 64 I am a vicious stepmother 8

Qingyu only allowed Lu Zemin to stay for one night, and in fact, she slept very restlessly that one night.

That little brat Lu Zemin, instead of sleeping in the middle of the night, sneaked up to Qingyu's bedside and lay down. Qingyu was instantly awakened and saw that small figure curled up on the ground. The night was cool and watery, and he looked extremely pitiful.

Qingyu didn't feel much emotion. In the story, Lu Zemin wasn't pitiful. He was just like this now because he had met different people.

She neither judged nor softened her stance.

However, she did throw a blanket over Lu Zemin to prevent him from getting sick and having to take the blame.

From then on, no matter how much Lu Zemin begged and pleaded, Qingyu refused to grant his request.

As a result, when Lu Linyan finally returned, he found Lu Zemin entangled at the entrance of Qingyu.

Lu Linyan's brow twitched. "Zeming, what are you doing?"

His voice was quite loud, and Qingyu, who was hiding in the room, immediately heard it and shouted, "Take care of him, he's annoying us every day."

Lu Linyan opened his mouth, looked at Lu Zemin who had his head down, and sighed, "Zeming, go back to your room."

Lu Zemin shook his head, "No." Then he looked up, his eyes full of sadness, "Uncle, she doesn't like me. Was I too naughty? I apologized, but she still doesn't like me."

Lu Linyan's heart softened, and his dislike for Qingyu increased.

He didn't understand why Qingyu was so heartless when it was just a small matter.

Whether or not to forgive is Qingyu's own business. Lu Linyan didn't want to force her, so he squatted down to coax Lu Zemin.

Qingyu had been keeping an eye on the movements outside the door, and when she heard footsteps, she knew that Lu Linyan had taken the person away.

Without further hesitation, I grabbed my bag and headed out!

When Lu Linyan came out, he found the room completely empty.

A faint fragrance seemed to linger in his nostrils. As the wind blew by, Lu Linyan was in a daze. Suddenly, he came back to his senses and realized that he was stroking the pillow on the bed...

His expression changed slightly, and he stood up awkwardly, but his mind couldn't help but wander to the fragrance.

It was only then that he realized he hadn't seen Qingyu properly in a long time, which had made his memories of her blurry.

What kind of person is she?

------------

Qingyu had an appointment before going out. The person who invited her was Xie Jingzhou, who frankly said that he knew a little about Qingyu's background.

The original owner's background is only mentioned briefly in the story. The identities of the original owner's parents are not explained in detail. In the end, it is only mentioned that the original owner became an orphan after her grandfather passed away.

But what about the original owner's parents? Are they really dead?

When Xie Jingzhou brought up the topic, Qingyu followed her heart and kept the appointment.

Her intuition is usually right.

When they arrived at the location, Xie Jingzhou was waiting in a formal suit. He already had the appearance of a refined gentleman, and today he dressed up especially well, looking extremely handsome and gentle. Girls would occasionally approach him to chat.

But all of this changed after Qingyu arrived. She was like a beautiful flower, captivating at first glance. Her graceful steps and radiant beauty made her seem like a fairy who had strayed into the mortal world, completely out of place among the masses.

It immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Xie Jingzhou stood up, praising with a smile, "I should have arranged to meet you in a more secluded place. You are so dazzling, it truly delights me."

These words are truly outrageous. Qingyu is still Madam Lu, and Xie Jingzhou, as Lu Linyan's friend, is essentially flirting with her.

Qingyu gave a light hum, not feeling embarrassed by such praise, only feeling that this male supporting character was truly someone whose face was known but whose heart was not.

"One should not covet a friend's wife"—is this a sign of reckless abandon?

"You called me here just to talk about this?"

His tone already hinted at dissatisfaction, but Xie Jingzhou smiled as he gazed at the beauty before him, truly finding her more and more pleasing to the eye the more he looked at her.

How come we never discovered that Qingyu was a treasure before?

Xie Jingzhou adjusted his glasses, regaining his refined demeanor. "Of course not, Qingyu. Don't worry, I'll tell you everything I know. I can't bear to hide anything from you."

As he spoke, he took out a file folder and pushed it toward Qingyu across from him, saying, "This is what I recently investigated."

That's not actually the case.

Although Xie Jingzhou was just a doctor with a good reputation, his family background was not bad. Although it could not be compared with the Lu family, it was still a well-liked figure in aristocratic circles.

The Xie family is a family of doctors, with generations of renowned physicians. No matter how foolish an outsider is, they would never offend a doctor. After all, everyone is born, grows old, gets sick, and dies, and who knows when they might need help coming to their door?

Xie Jingzhou already had this information when he learned of Lu Linyan's marriage, but at that time it was for Bai Tao. Xie Jingzhou regarded her as a younger sister he had met at first sight, so he went to great lengths to investigate the Gao family.

The reason they didn't bring it up later was simply because they saw that Lu Linyan hadn't changed his mind, and Gao Qingyu was also behaving herself.

Now...

When Xie Jingzhou developed feelings for the person in front of him, things were naturally different.

Seeing Qingyu begin to look through the documents, Xie Jingzhou's smile deepened. He seemed to sigh and said, "It's quite a coincidence. We investigated this matter for a long time without any leads. If it weren't for one of my patients knowing about it... I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to find out."

This was the truth. As far as he knew, Lu Linyan had also investigated, but he knew nothing about Gao's parents. It seemed that all traces of them had been erased.

Xie Jingzhou found out by accident.

Qingyu was stunned the moment she opened the file.

She never expected that Gao's parents also came from a prominent family, and that Gao's grandfather was not Qingyu's biological grandfather.

Gao's father and mother are from a foreign family, whose status is equivalent to that of the Lu family in China. However, Gao's father is the legitimate heir, while Gao's mother is just an adopted daughter.

The two fell in love, but their families opposed the relationship. Even when it was not safe to be abroad, the family took drastic measures against Gao's mother. Because other children were fighting for the family property, Gao's parents finally decided to elope.

They traveled a long way to China, living in anonymity. Not long after, they had a daughter named Gao Qingyu. They thought they could live a peaceful life, but unexpectedly, they were both involved in a car accident.

At that time, Grandpa Gao was a lonely old man who lived with them.

Seeing this, Qingyu's shock gradually subsided, and she roughly understood what was going on.

The so-called favor done to the Lu family was probably something that Mr. and Mrs. Gao did unintentionally, and both Grandpa Gao and Grandpa Lu tacitly accepted it.

"So—why would you kindly tell me all this?" Qingyu raised her eyes and stared steadily at Xie Jingzhou, her small face calm and composed, without any panic or anything else.

This disappointed Xie Jingzhou, who had hoped to offer some comfort to the beauty.

He sighed, his tone sincere, "I just admire you, and I also enjoy helping others. I don't want to see you be subservient to Lu Linyan. Your status is no lower than his."

These words...

Even if Qingyu were stupid, she wouldn't believe it.

She chuckled softly, her watery eyes filled with mockery, her red lips slightly parted, "You already had these documents, why are you only bringing them out now? Is it so that I'll give way to Bai Tao?"

Xie Jingzhou's expression froze, and he suddenly felt a pang of regret. He had been too open and aboveboard in favoring Bai Tao back then, and now he had no good reason to go back on his word.

He immediately gave an awkward laugh, "How could that be? But if you leave the Lu family, I would agree. Lu Linyan has no character or temper except for his looks. You should take a look at other people."

Like him.

A flicker of anticipation crossed Xie Jingzhou's mind, but he straightened his back without making a sound.

"Aren't you brothers with him? You're betraying him?" Based on the current situation, Qingyu could see that Xie Jingzhou was definitely lustful and didn't even care about his brothers.

Therefore, she can be quite casual when she makes jokes.
