Chapter 229: True Ambition

Lu Xiwán felt uneasy for a while, truly not knowing how to face the sky‑raging Zhong Yun.

"Sorry, Senior Brother, I wasted your time again today…"

Lu Xiwán's words left her lips before Zhong Yun stopped her with a single glance.

"You and I, and you still speak so detached?"

"If it weren't today, you still wouldn't see Fu Sijue's character…"

"The things you went through before, you still don't understand? Even if I don't urge you, you should have a sense of it in your heart."

Zhong Yun doesn't care what Fu Sijue is like in other respects.

What he sees is only whether Fu Sijue treats her well or not.

"If you want to forgive Fu Sijue, my master and I won't say anything, but you must take responsibility for the choice you make."

Zhong Yun also has endless worries, fearing that Lu Xiwán might slip into a pit by accident.

Lu Xiwán lowered her head, said nothing, and silently stared at her own hands.

Xi Xi had nothing to say at this moment.

Fu Sijue standing them up is a solid fact; even if she wanted to speak up, it would be useless.

"Alright, that's all I have to say; how you end up acting is still your own business."

"I have some matters to attend to over there, so I won't disturb you."

Zhong Yun finished speaking and left.

Lu Xiwán kept pondering the words he said before leaving.

"Uncle Fu will definitely be too busy today, Mommy, so don't be sad…"

Xi Xi watched Lu Xiwán like that, feeling very heart‑ache.

She hadn't expected that something already settled would suddenly encounter a twist.

Lu Xiwán reached out, brushed Xi Xi's small face, and gave a helpless smile, "You also heard what Uncle Zhong Yun just said."

She now realized how childish her behavior was.

Being together early for them is no longer a matter two people can decide.

"I don't know what to do now."

Lu Xiwán, after hearing Zhong Yun's words, still didn't know what she truly wanted.

Xi Xi, half‑understanding these, nodded anxiously.

"As long as you, Mommy, aren't sad, that's enough!"

Lu Xiwán hugged Xi Xi tightly.

Having Xi Xi is her luck.

Yun Ruojin, still not having seen Fu Zhuo and his son clash, anxiously found Yun Ruofeng.

"Your temperament is still too impatient."

Yun Ruofeng remained calmly as usual, even sounding a bit reproachful toward Yun Ruojin.

Yun Ruojin couldn't help retorting, "Can I say it's okay if I'm not impatient?"

"Lu Xiwán has been getting closer to A Jue lately; if we don't hurry, they'll really…!"

"Then what do you intend to do?" Yun Ruofeng raised his eyes, gazing at Yun Ruojin. Yun Ruojin's pupils shifted, and he spilled the plan he had long prepared.

"The only remaining relative by his side is Lord Fu; if we redouble our efforts, I don't think he'll even ignore Lord Fu's words."

Going around in circles, Yun Ruojin finally reverted to the old routine.

In the end there was no other way; reluctantly, they had to resort to such low‑level tricks again.

"Fu Sijue is not as easy to handle as you say."

"If Lord Fu were useful, why did you achieve no results during the time you first arrived?" Yun Ruofeng didn't hesitate to expose Yun Ruojin's shortcomings.

Yun Ruojin's face turned pale, "Wasn't it because no one helped back then?"

"Now that you're here, it's different; with Fu Zhuo and Fu He Song, and so many of us, we can surely persuade Grandpa Fu to help me."

Yun Ruofeng's lips curled into a faint smile.

She actually set her plan against the Fu father‑son pair.
