Chapter 26: Midnight Madness

Si Jiuyin gave Gu Qingmeng a lingering glance.

Stupid and wicked—that's probably what this kind of person is.

They also lack sense, love to provoke others, and are smug, believing their deeds are flawless.

In reality, to others it is riddled with holes.

Gu Qingmeng wasn't at all anxious; she dared to come find Si Jiuyin, with something clenched in her hand.

"I know I'm just talking empty words; you won't believe me, but please watch this video before deciding."

Gu Qingmeng was relieved she had kept a watchful eye and had secretly recorded a video beforehand.

The footage was simple: only Lu Xiwán and Fu Yao, and the location was Hengshan Gongguan.

But the content was anything but simple.

Fu Yao affectionately called Lu Xiwán "mama", and Lu Xiwán didn't refuse at all, pulling Fu Yao into her arms.

If a random passerby saw it, they'd surely think the two were mother and child.

But someone like Si Jiuyin, who knows the situation, could spot the problem at a glance.

Gu Qingmeng keenly sensed the panic in Si Jiuyin's eyes and immediately pretended to be on the verge of tears.

"That's why I specifically warned you: now Yao Yao no longer acknowledges me, and as a mother I can do nothing; you should understand the pain in my heart…"

Si Jiuyin watched Gu Qingmeng warily, her face completely calm, with no hint of guilt.

"I know you may have some prejudice against me, but which mother would be willing to harm her own child? Many things are best seen with one's own eyes; I hope you consider carefully."

After speaking, Gu Qingmeng grabbed her bag and left, exuding an air of standing straight, unafraid of a crooked shadow.

……

Since the forced kiss incident, Lu Xiwán has been avoiding Fu Sijue everywhere, even pretending not to see him when they cross paths.

As time passed, even the two children could tell; Lu Xixi mysteriously grabbed Fu Yao.

"Yao Yao brother, don't you think it's odd that your dad and my mama have been acting strangely lately?"

Lu Xixi spoke earnestly, making Fu Yao a bit nervous.

Did little sister Xixi notice his little scheme to get mama and dad together?

Lu Xixi, not seeing the weight on Fu Yao's face, continued on her own, "I think they seem to be arguing now."

She really guessed right; Fu Yao's breath caught, fearing that the next second the usually smiling little girl might voice opposition.

"I've quarreled with my friend before; it's just like them," Lu Xixi said startlingly, and Fu Yao inexplicably let out a sigh of relief.

As long as little sister Xixi doesn't mind them being together, it's fine.

"Uncle Xie is the best at making girls happy," Fu Yao said, of course not wanting to watch them argue forever; it was already unlikely, and constant arguing would make it even less likely.

Fu Yao exhaled a sigh of relief, and Lu Xixi jumped up happily.

"Then quickly call Uncle Xie; my dad and my mama have been arguing and I'm nervous too."

Lu Xixi's nervousness probably showed in that she hadn't eaten any snacks for two whole days; elsewhere Fu Yao really didn't notice.

After a while, Lu Xixi looked at the two bouquets of roses before her and felt something was off.

"Is that Uncle Xie really reliable?"

Fu Yao nodded heavily, "Of course he's reliable; my dad says Uncle Xie is probably the man in Haicheng who knows best how to make girls happy!"

Although Fu Yao didn't know what that meant, it was basically praising Uncle Xie.

"Then let's act according to the previous plan!" Lu Xixi hopped excitedly, spending the whole day imagining how mama would feel upon seeing the flowers.

Fu Yao held Lu Xixi back, "You're being too obvious; mama and my dad will spot it at a glance."
