Chapter 409: Qi Family Villa

ue deteriorating.Lu Hanchuan tapped his finger on the cold tabletop, making a tapping sound. "I understand. You go out first, I'll ask Shao Sian specifically. He knows your physical condition very wel..."No fighting, just checking online news." Fu Xiaoyao replied as she took the phone, then unlocked it and saw another missed call. She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"What's wrong, Madam" asked Aunt Song.

Fu Xiaoyao opened the missed calls, "There's a call."

"Who called I didn't hear anyone calling."

"A friend of mine, my phone is on silent, it's normal you didn't hear it." Fu Xiaoyao smiled and dialed the number.

The phone was answered quickly, and a man's gentle, magnetic voice spoke, "Ms. Fu."

"Mr. Shi," Fu Xiaoyao greeted the man on the phone, then apologetically said, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Shi, I missed your call before. What can I do for you"

Shi Mo smiled on the other end of the phone, "It's nothing major, I just wanted to ask Miss Fu if you still remember our agreement"

"An agreement" Fu Xiaoyao was taken aback, then immediately remembered, nodding her head. "Remember."

"That's good, I'm going back to my country." Shi Mo said.

Fu Xiaoyao was surprised, "Return to the country When"

"In five days." Shi Mo gave a timeframe.

Fu Xiaoyao bit her lip and pondered for a few seconds, "Is it that urgent"

"I've finished my business in City C. I was originally planning to leave in half a month, but my grandmother fell ill the past two days, so I decided to go back early. Ms. Fu, could you leave with me in five days" Shi Mo asked.

"In five days..." Fu Xiaoyao twisted her fingers nervously.

Shi Mo heard the hesitation in her tone and chuckled softly, not pressing her. "How about this, Miss Fu You take five days to think it over. Once you've made up your mind, give me your answer."

"Okay." Fu Xiaoyao responded shyly.

After ending the call, she put her phone aside.

Aunt Song poured her a glass of water, "Madam, is this Mr. Shi Mo from the overseas branch"

Fu Xiaoyao took the water cup and nodded. "It was him."

"Why did he call you" Auntie Song was very curious.

She couldn't hear the phone call, but seeing Fu Xiaoyao's hesitant expression, she knew something was definitely up.

Fu Xiaoyao took a sip of water and felt a little overwhelmed, "He wants me to go abroad to do him a favor."

"Going abroad" Auntie Song was taken aback, then her expression became serious. "The master wouldn't agree to that."

"I know, but I already promised Shimo and him to go with them. And he helped me out before, so I couldn't refuse." Fu Xiaoyao nervously tugged at her hair.

Aunt Song looked at her, "Then there's no way. Mr. certainly won't let you go abroad with someone else. He's a man, and even more so at this juncture, Tangshan hasn't been caught yet. What if you go abroad and are targeted by Tangshan Even if Mr. is powerful, he can't reach everything abroad."

"I know, I'm just struggling with this point." Fu Xiaoyao put down her cup, leaning back against the pillow wearily, her eyes blankly staring at the television on the opposite wall.

“I promised Shi Mo that I would go abroad next month, by which time Han Chuan should have resolved everything. So I had no worries about going abroad. But I never expected Shi Mo to go back early, and it happened to be the same time Han Chuan captured Tang Shan.”

It was precisely because of this concern that she had just hesitated whether to go with Shi Mo.

She was afraid that, like what Aunt Song said, if she went abroad during this special time, she would be targeted by Tangshan and cause trouble for Lu Hanchuan.

“This Mr. Wang is really something else, I don’t believe he doesn't know about the Lu family and Tang family's situation. He's asking you to go abroad now, I even suspect he might not be well-intentioned.” Aunt Song complained.

Fu Xiaoyao smiled. "Alright, Auntie Song, don't overthink it. He came with me early because Grandma fell ill."

"Who are you going with" Lu Hanchuan's voice suddenly came from the doorway.

Fu Xiaoyao's smile faded, and she quickly shook her head. "Nothing much, I was just chatting with Auntie Song, right, Auntie Song"

She subtly gave Song Yi a wink.

Aunt Song gave a knowing cough and smiled sheepishly, "Yes, sir. We were just discussing the television content."

"Is that so" Lu Hanchuan squinted his eyes in suspicion, walking towards them.

Fu Xiaoyao saw him getting closer and closer, her heart pounding. She nervously fidgeted with her fingers and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, Hanchuan, why are you here Didn't Qiao's assistant just come looking for you"

Her act of avoiding the topic was too obvious. Lu Hanchuan saw through her immediately, his eyes darkened slightly before he chose not to expose her. He followed her lead and continued, "Qi Dongming has been caught, so I came over to ask you if you want to see him"

"What did you say" Fu Xiaoyao's expression changed, her eyes flashing with excitement. "Qi Dongming was caught"

"Well, the person is already brought back." Lu Hanchuan raised his chin.

Fu Xiaoyao threw back the covers and was about to get out of bed, "Then what are we waiting for, let's go."

She urged him impatiently.

Lu Hanchuan saw her so flustered she didn't even bother with shoes, his face instantly darkened. "Put on your shoes!"

"Huh" Fu Xiaoyao was stunned.

Lu Hanchuan endured his patience and pointed at her feet.

Fu Xiaoyao followed her gaze downward. Her delicate little feet were stepping on the clean white tiles, and her toes were even frostbitten red, but she seemed to feel nothing.

"Um... sorry, I'll be right there." Fu Xiaoyao bent down and pulled her shoes from under the bed to put on. Then she went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and when she came out, she looked intently at Lu Hanchuan.

Lu Hanchuan rubbed his temples and turned to walk toward the door.

Fu Xiaoyao, seeing this, clenched her fists and hurried to catch up.

Qi Dongming was imprisoned in the old Qi family villa by Lu Hanchuan.

This was Fu Xiaoyao's first time here. She stood in front of the villa, slightly raising her head to look at the somewhat aged building, unable to take her eyes away for a long time.

Until Lu Hánchuan spoke, she lowered her head, concealing the expression on her face.

"This villa... how long has it been" Fu Xiaoyao asked with a veiled meaning.

Lu Hanchuan glanced at her and replied, "Over twenty years, this is the old villa district."

“Over twenty years...” Fu Xiaoyao muttered the number, then a hint of anger appeared in her eyes, “So this villa was bought by Qi Dongming and... and his original wife”

Lu Hanchuan heard this, and probably understood her thoughts. He lightly opened his thin lips, "Yes."

"Heh!" Fu Xiaoyao sneered, a surge of immense anger rising in her chest, her breasts heaving violently. "How wonderful! You bought a house with your legal wife's money, but it ends up being lived in by your mistress and your mistress's daughter!"

Why

Why is her biological mother's house cheaper for Qi Ya and Qi Ya's mother!

She absolutely had to settle this score with Qi Dongming, she would!

"Alright." Lu Hanchuan took Fu Xiaoyao's hand and gently squeezed it. "Don't be angry, it's not good for the child."

“How could I not be angry.” Fu Xiaoyao clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles trembling with agitation. She gritted her teeth and said resentfully, “HANCHUAN, if it were you, your father betrayed your mother, found a mistress, and even let the mistress and illegitimate child live in his own house, would you be happy”

Lu Hanchuan's thin lips pressed together, without answering. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Fu Xiaoyao shook off his hand, "Look, your silence has already explained everything. You're not happy either, so how can I calm down Clearly, all the happiness that Qi Ya and her mother enjoy should belong to me and my biological mother. But because her mother was a mistress, it led to my mother's death in a car accident and left me abandoned in the Fu family..."

Saying this, she lifted her head and took a deep breath, holding back her tears. "I'm not reconciled, Kankawa. I really am not reconciled!"

"What do you want to do" Lu Hanchuan looked at her deeply., her steps stumbling. "Han Chuan...""Lu Zong!" Fu Xiaoyao, seeing Qi Ya speak up, immediately interjected, "Could you arrange a driver to take me back Miss Qi misunderstood that I have feelings for y...
