Chapter 229: Exhausted Lu Hanchuan

then."Lu Hanchuan pursed his thin lips, a hint of coldness in them. He didn't speak, and the air around him was as cold as ice.Joe stood motionless, facing his desk, not daring to breathe heavily. He..."Madam, that young master from the Fu family suddenly ran to the villa, clamoring to see you," Song Yi replied, her voice filled with resignation.

Fu Xiaoyao's eyebrows furrowed, "My mom"

"Yeah."

"What did she want me for" Fu Xiaoyao asked again.

"I heard that your younger brother found a girlfriend and is getting married, or something like that." Aunt Song said uncertainly.

Fu Xiaoyao was surprised, "A girlfriend Zixuan found a girlfriend"

"That's what your mother said."

"Where's my mom Is she still here"

"She's gone. She came to the villa to see you, and I said you went out. She then asked for your contact information, but I didn't give it to her, so she left." Aunt Song said, and then advised, "Madam, I tell you, don't go to the Fu family. What if she finds you again and asks for money"

Fu Xiaoyao thought about it and also found it reasonable, "I understand, thank you, Aunt Song."

You're welcome.

After the call ended, Yu Lin looked at Fu Xiaoyao, "Who is Aunt Song"

"My husband's housekeeper." Fu Xiaoyao replied, putting down her phone.

Yu Lin raised an eyebrow. "Butler, it seems like your husband's family background is even more powerful than I imagined."

Fu Xiaoyao took a sip of soup, but remained silent with a smile.

The Lu family is indeed prosperous, but it has nothing to do with me.

She had always remembered that Lu Hanchuan forbade her from talking about their relationship, so she would never tell anyone about the Lu family.

"Oh, right. I just heard from Song Aunty on the phone that your mom's looking for you. What's going on" Yulin scooped up a piece of meat and put it into her bowl, asking curiously.

Fu Xiaoyao rubbed her temples, "It seems like Zixuan found a girlfriend."

"It's strange, your brother's the type who actually managed to find a girlfriend That girl must be blind." Yulin sarcastically remarked.

Fu Xiaoyao chuckled, "Perhaps they have similar personalities, that's why they hit it off."

"You're not wrong," Yu Lin nodded. "But your mom is also quite strange. What does it have to do with you that your brother is looking for a girlfriend Why would he ask you Is she expecting you to go back and supervise"

"I don't know either." Fu Xiaoyao shrugged.

"I think your brother probably spent all his money on a girlfriend, that's why your mom came to ask you for it," Yu Lin scoffed.

"Aunt Song said the same thing." Fu Xiaoyao chuckled.

Yu Lin drank some water and said again, "It seems like I'm not the only one who thinks this way. So Xiao Yao, please don't foolishly ask your mother what she's trying to do. Just pretend you don't know she's been looking for you."

"Well, rest assured, I know my limits." Fu Xiaoyao nodded.

After being brought to live with her relatives, she hadn't received any care from them.

Every time they contacted her, it was to ask for money. That was all they ever talked about. They never asked her how she was doing or if work was tiring her out.

So this time, the possibility of them wanting money is very high. In that case, she really doesn't need to ask them why they are looking for her.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. How about we go for a walk after dinner" Yulin suggested.

Fu Xiaoyao looked at her in surprise. "There's only an hour and a half for lunch break, do you have time to go shopping"

"Didn't I tell you" Yu Lin raised an eyebrow. "I took an afternoon off."

Fu Xiaoyao rolled her eyes. "When did you ever tell me that"

"Oh, well, it seems I forgot then." Yulin chuckled.

Fu Xiaoyao ignored her, eating her vegetables by herself.

"By the way, Xiaoyao, I have some good news. I'm getting promoted again," Yu Lin suddenly became excited.

Fu Xiaoyao was surprised, "So soon I remember you just got promoted not long ago"

"Yeah." Yu Lin nodded.

"How come this time it's so fast"

"To be honest, I don't know the specifics. I heard from our manager that General Lu is going back to headquarters soon, so they're taking a group of people there for training. I was chosen by chance, and after going to headquarters, my position won't change. But because headquarters is higher than our branch office, it's kind of like a promotion." Yu Lin explained.

Fu Xiaoyao understood and nodded, "I see, then congratulations to you."

“Thank you.” Yu Lin smiled. “To be honest, I don’t understand why I was chosen either. I asked the manager, and all the selected people have worked here for five years or more, and most of them have won awards for outstanding employees. I haven’t, so they’re all speculating that I must be related to President Lu.”

"Speaking of which, she gave a discontented twitch of her lips. "What's even worse, some people say I got here through nepotism. What a joke! If I had connections, I would have replaced the manager long ago, and wouldn't be content being just a team leader"

Fu Xiaoyao didn't respond, she lowered her head and seemed to be thinking about something.

According to Zhao Yulin, the others were chosen because they were qualified, but there was something fishy about her being chosen.

And then there was the last promotion, it came out of nowhere, which was also very strange. When you put all these strange points together, there must be a reason for it.

Could it be because of her

"Xiaoyao, what are you thinking about" Yulin waved her hand.

Fu Xiaoyao came to her senses. "I was thinking about the reason for your promotion."

"Yeah, it's strange, right I always feel like President Lu has been taking care of me." Yulin said, chin resting on her hand.

Fu Xiaoyao narrowed her eyes, "Being taken care of by President Lu"

"Yeah, last time I got promoted it was Lu's assistant Qiao who told me. This time too, so you see." Yulin shrugged, "If I wasn't so self-aware, I'd think Lu was secretly in love with me."

"Pfft!" Fu Xiaoyao choked on her soup and coughed violently, her face turning pale.

Yu Lin was startled and hurriedly put down her chopsticks to pat her on the back. "You silly child, why are you eating so fast No one is going to snatch your food!"

"What's wrong, cough cough." Fu Xiaoyao was flustered by her accusing tone. "I wasn't eating too quickly, you just made me laugh with what you said."

Li Hanchuan secretly loves her

How is that possible!

"What's so funny I was just making a casual remark." Yu Lin pouted.

Fu Xiaoyao rolled her eyes. "You can only say this to my face. What if President Lu hears you, do you know what will happen"

"So, I never tell anyone about these things." Yu Lin giggled.

Fu Xiaoyao glared at her with displeasure. "Alright, eat your meal. Don't think about it too much. I'll ask around for the reason when we get back."

"Can you ask for me"

"Yes, you asked, my husband..."

"Oh, right, right, your husband is good friends with Lu always, alright, then you ask him for me." Yu Lin threw this task to Fu Xiaoyao.

Fu Xiaoyao shook her head and continued eating.

After dinner, the two of them went shopping in the mall for a while, bought some clothes, and then parted ways.

Upon returning to her apartment, Fu Xiaoyao discovered a pair of men's leather shoes by the entrance.

Could it be Lü Hánchuan

Fu Xiaoyao subconsciously lightened her hand on the doorknob and glanced into the living room, but saw no one.

Isn't he in the living room

Fu Xiaoyao lifted her foot and stepped into the living room. Sure enough, there was no one in the living room, but the door to the bedroom was open.

Fu Xiaoyao pursed her lips, put down the several bags in her hands and walked towards the room. Just as she reached the door, she stopped.

In the room, a man lay soundly asleep on her bed.

He sleeps in a very bad posture, lying sideways with one arm dangling off the bed. He doesn't seem to worry about how long this will go on for and that his arm might become numb from excessive blood circulation.

And his sleeping position, how did he sleep like that This is not a pose he could normally sleep in.

Thinking to herself, Fu Xiaoyao walked over gently. Only then did she see Lu Hanchuan's face clearly. His face was full of fatigue, and the dark circles under his eyes were very obvious. Even his breathing was heavier than usual.

Seeing this, Fu Xiaoyao felt a pang of sympathy.

He looks like he hasn't slept all night last night, huhfened, and she quickly changed the subject, “That...how did Qi Ya get into your company I remember you said you wouldn't let her in, right”“As for this matter,” Qiao Mu pushed up his glasses and answe...
