Chapter 262: Dad, You

Lu Xiwán did not see a hint of remorse on Yun Ruojin's face.

She only feared her mother would get hurt because of it; now Yun Ruojin even shifts the blame onto Yun Wenkang, and Lu Xiwán still doesn't think she's done anything wrong.

What she feared all along was never hurting anyone.

"Yun Ruojin, you're just using your father's mistake to cover your own baseness—what difference is there between you and her?"

Lu Xiwán always remembered the frantic way Yun Ruojin boasted about how much she loved Fu Sijue in front of her.

In a sense, Yun Ruojin is a lunatic.

It's just that Yun Wenkang's existence gives her a perfectly respectable excuse.

Yun Ruojin's complexion turned pale for an instant; she bit her lip, her wan face full of embarrassed anger at having her secret exposed.

"I know I was wrong before…"

Lu Xixi, with a stern face, cut her off, "Take care of your own affairs yourself; if you can't even protect your own mother, that's your problem."

Her blunt words made Yun Ruojin's face lose composure; she stood up and left without a word.

Lu Xiwán glanced at Fu Sijue, "President Fu, aren't you afraid Miss Yun might be in danger outside?"

With a heavy tone of sarcasm.

Fu Sijue did pick up Lu Xiwán's meaning, "I think Xi Xi is right."

Yun Ruojin has committed so many wrongs and still expects them to help her; unless a pie falls from the sky and happens to hit Yun Ruojin.

Lu Xiwán snorted, "Miss Yun is Mr. Fu's fiancée."

Fu Sijue turned his head toward Xi Xi. "All this time and she still hasn't explained?"

Lu Xixi's head shook like a wave drum.

It's not that she doesn't want to explain; whenever the conversation reaches this point, Mom pretends not to understand.

Fu Sijue's face was full of innocence, "It's all a misunderstanding."

He was just about to elaborate, but Lu Xiwán propped herself up from the sofa with her other intact hand.

"Ah, I didn't rest well last night and I'm a bit sleepy. President Fu, if there's nothing, you can go back first."

The hint to send them away was obvious, yet Fu Sijue, as if oblivious, sat there with an air of composure.

Lu Xiwán, stirred by Fu Sijue's demeanor, simply let go of Lu Xixi's hand and plopped onto the sofa.

The two stared at each other, big eyes glaring at the small eyes.

In the end, Lu Xiwán yielded first; she glared at Fu Sijue, "President Fu, are you planning to stay here and not leave?"

Having been bound by Yun Ruojin for a day, Lu Xiwán's limbs still ached faintly, yet she had to muster energy to deal with Fu Sijue.

"You go inside and sleep; I'll protect you outside."

Lu Xiwán rolled her eyes, "Last night was an accident; can anyone kidnap me from a hotel in broad daylight?"

Having learned a lesson, even Yun Ruojin couldn't strike a second time so soon.

"By the way, was everything Yun Ruojin said just now true?"

No wonder Lu Xiwán doesn't believe her; from the start, Yun Ruojin has always been that spoiled, arrogant self, making it impossible to think she harbors such a huge secret.

"The Yun Family has been abroad these years; we don't know their situation."

Moreover, Yun Ruojin's mother is hardly a respectable figure to others; it's an unspoken secret within the circle.

"Yun Ruojin wasn't born into the Yun Family; when she was three, her mother brought her to claim her lineage, and the process was… complicated."

Yun Wenkang's original wife died suddenly; Yun Ruojin's mother hurriedly elevated Yun Ruojin, and Yun Ruofeng initially despised this younger sister, but later, for reasons unknown, their relationship gradually grew close.

Lu Xiwán nodded pensively.

The pitied have their hateful aspects, and Yun Ruojin is no exception; she truly isn't worthy of pity.
