Chapter 233: How Could It Be a Misunderstanding

Lu Xiwán's words were sharp; she hit the most important point right away.

Fu Zhuo for a moment didn't know how to respond to that sentence.

"A Jue agrees," Fu Zhuo felt uneasy, unsure whether he should say it, but in the end he lied to Lu Xiwán.

As a Psychologist, Lu Xiwán immediately saw that Fu Zhuo was telling a lie, but she only smiled and nodded, "Uncle Fu's skill at deception is getting more and more masterful. When I saw him a few times at the Fu Family, I thought Uncle Fu was a good person; now I guess I overthought it."

Fu Zhuo raised an eyebrow and stared closely at Lu Xiwán's face.

Then he flinched back as if frightened, and Lu Xiwán realized he still didn't know her true identity.

"Didn't you say you disappeared a long time ago?"

Fu Zhuo stared in disbelief, "When did the Lu family's maid come back?"

Lu Xiwán calmly picked up the coffee on the table and took a gentle sip, "I respect you as Fu Sijue's elder; I still know what kind of person he is. Why are you lying to me?"

Not to mention that Fu Sijue's abilities are sufficient and he doesn't need Yun Ruojin's help; even if he did, Fu Sijue wouldn't have someone else convey such a huge matter.

Lu Xiwán thought she understood Fu Sijue.

Fu Zhuo gradually came out of shock, and an apologetic smile replaced his expression.

"Just now I didn't recognize you; why didn't you tell us you were back?" Fu Zhuo and Lu Xiwán's parents were also fairly acquainted, and in front of Lu Xiwán Fu Zhuo unconsciously assumed an elder's bearing.

Lu Xiwán was also very impressed by how quickly Fu Zhuo changed his demeanor; if it were her, she really couldn't pull off such a high‑difficulty feat.

"It doesn't matter who I am; as long as Uncle Fu knows, I just want to know, do you truly want Fu Sijue and Yun Ruojin to be together?"

Lu Xiwán suppressed the smile in her eyes and stared straight at Fu Zhuo.

All these years, Fu Zhuo remains as hypocritical and cowardly as she saw him in childhood.

"Well… I certainly support you two being together, but that Yun family maid is really hard to deal with; even A Jue can't easily offend her. You and A Jue have been apart for so many years; any feelings have probably faded. It would be better to just part ways, saving everyone's time."

Fu Zhuo's conflicted, lengthy speech ended, and Lu Xiwán understood his meaning, instantly pulling the smile from her face.

"Take your time, Uncle Fu; I'm leaving now."

His words sounded nice, but in reality Fu Zhuo didn't care at all about what Fu Sijue thought.

All they cared about was profit.

Thinking back, she had often urged Fu Sijue to improve his relationship with the family back then; now Lu Xiwán thinks that was all unnecessary.

Fu Sijue still sees through everything.

Yun Ruojin kept getting embarrassed in front of Lu Xiwán and Fu Sijue, feeling very uneasy, and once home she erupted in a furious outburst.

Jing Jing'er, who lives with her, had long gotten used to it: "Last time we both reached that point, Xi Wan is still perfectly staying by President Fu's side, right? After all the effort you spent trying to drive her away, you might as well think early about how to make a solid marriage with President Fu; even if Xi Wan is willing, she can't intervene in you two." Jing Jing'er also despises Lu Xiwán, constantly devising ways to make things difficult for her.

Yun Ruojin pursed her lips, "You think A Jue is someone you can approach so easily? He simply refuses to interact with me; no matter what methods I use, it doesn't work…"

If that trick worked, Yun Ruojin wouldn't still be plagued by it for so long.

"That's your own problem," Jing Jing'er said, helpless, sitting on the sofa and continuing to meticulously tend to her own face.
