Chapter 195: The Gu Family Won

~3 min read 590 words

Fu Sijue truly, just as he claimed, put Yao Yao on Lu Xiwán's side.

For a few days, they only called to ask.

Lu Xixi is even more anxious than Lu Xiwán; every day she probes for news about Fu Sijue.

In response, Lu Xiwán's answer is always to have Lu Xixi contact Fu Sijue.

Lu Xixi stamped her foot in frustration, "Mommy, what's wrong with just letting Uncle Fu come over?"

If this keeps going, when will it ever end!

Lu Xixi let out a sigh.

Lu Xiwán set the book down, leisurely looking at Lu Xixi, "Don't you like Yao Yao? Weren't you two having a great time at home?"

She later thought it over; the only reason Fu Sijue was angry was that she said she didn't need help.

But Lu Xiwán really felt there was no need to apologize.

How Fu Sijue thinks is his own business.

"But Brother Yao Yao will miss Daddy too; we can't keep Brother Yao Yao here forever, can we?" Lu Xixi blinked, looking at Lu Xiwán expectantly.

Lu Xiwán just shook her head, "If Yao Yao wants to go back sometime, just call Uncle Fu directly."

Lu Xiwán's refusal was clean and decisive.

It cut off Lu Xixi's little flicker of hope outright.

Lu Xixi pursed her lips, about to speak, but the doorbell rang first.

Lu Xiwán opened the door and saw Jing Jing'er standing outside.

She wore a black dress, no longer exuding the haughty, overbearing tsundere aura she once had.

Upon seeing Lu Xiwán, Jing Jing'er's face instantly reverted to that arrogant expression.

"Without the Fu Family protecting you, how long can you still be so brazen?"

Jing Jing'er glanced inside with a wanton gaze, clearly not taking Lu Xiwán seriously.

Lu Xiwán had no intention of yielding to Jing Jing'er at all, "Whether or not I have the Fu Family's protection makes no difference; it's Miss Jing who, without the Jing Family backing her, has had a harder time than I have these past days."

Her words struck Jing Jing'er's soft spot, and Jing Jing'er's face, as expected, turned as black as a pot bottom.

Lu Xiwán didn't care, scanning up and down before asking, "Miss Jing went out of her way to find me; it can't be just to see how I'm doing now, can it?"

Jing Jing'er spoke with a loaded tone right away, and Lu Xiwán immediately saw she had ulterior motives.

Jing Jing'er smiled satisfactorily, even nodding, "Since you seem to get the hint, I actually have something to discuss today. Are you sure you want to say it here? If the neighbors around hear, that would be bad."

Those final words made Lu Xiwán's brows knit tightly.

Jing Jing'er was threatening her.

Lu Xiwán leaned against the side doorframe, giving her a cold glance, "If you have something to say, say it outside. I'm not used to going inside with people I'm not familiar with."

The usually tsundere Jing Jing'er didn't get angry; instead, she smiled even more smugly.

"Even if it's about that child, you still want to tell me outside?"

"I heard the soundproofing in the apartment isn't very good."

She nudged toward Yao Yao's direction, and Lu Xixi noticed their conversation, nervously shielding Yao Yao.

Lu Xiwán's heart also gave a sudden thump.

Anything involving Yao Yao is no small matter, and she can't afford any more mistakes from Yao Yao.

Giving Jing Jing'er a cold stare, Lu Xiwán carefully analyzed the truth and falsehood in her words.
