Chapter 32: Thank You, Mr. Fu

"Young Master Xie, I'm telling you, if you're idle, don't use me as a source of amusement; if you truly care about Fu Erye, you'd be better off properly matchmaking him with Miss Gu—after all, Xi Wan may already have someone she likes!"

Others claim Si Jiuyin's words aren't accurate, yet Lu Xiwán still gets it.

Lu Xiwán has always had a Flower Guardian by her side, silently protecting her all these years; what reason does she have not to be with that person, yet she chooses the scandal‑plagued Fu Sijue?

After hearing Si Jiuyin's explanation, Xie Zian also nodded earnestly.

Compared with that Flower Guardian, Fu Sijue really does fall short.

"But Fu Er looks good!" Xie Zian said with righteous confidence, then immediately regretted it.

"There are many good‑looking people in the world, and many who are both good‑looking and chaste; why pick someone who commits adultery within marriage?"

Si Jiuyin showed no concealment of her contempt for Fu Sijue; being able to carry out those rotten deeds so brazenly could only be because of Fu Erye.

Even Xie Zian couldn't refute that; the evidence is as solid as a mountain, the facts lie there, leaving him no room to say otherwise.

"Young Master Xie, take your time drinking here; I'm leaving first!"

Xie Zian pressed his chin, pondering for a long while but could not find any reason; from any angle, Xi Wan seemed a person completely unrelated to Lu Xiwán.

Yet those eyes were truly too similar to hers; Xie Zian could not bring himself to accept this cruel fact.

But there was nothing to be done; even Fu Sijue couldn't uncover it, what could she possibly discover?

……

It's been a while since returning to Haicheng, and Lu Xiwán has almost finished the matters at hand, so now she can devote herself wholly to Yao Yao.

Yet watching the two children play innocently and carefree, Lu Xiwán's heart always feels empty.

Children of this age always need a playmate beside them.

But Fu Yao can't be friends with Lu Xi Xi forever, and besides, Lu Xi Xi will eventually leave someday.

Lu Xiwán holds complete information on Fu Yao; due to his reclusive nature, Fu Yao has virtually no friends in kindergarten.

Moreover, the trauma from the kidnapping prevents Fu Yao from attending school like other children his age.

Gu Qingmeng, as a mother, has never paid attention to these matters, and even Fu Sijue is willing but powerless.

"How long has Yao Yao not been to kindergarten?" Lu Xiwán asked anxiously, looking at Fu Yao and Lu Xi Xi, and inquired of the household Steward.

She is confident she can cure Fu Yao's illness, but fears that after they leave, Yao Yao still won't be able to get out.

"He hasn't gone for about half a year; ever since the young master's psychological issues surfaced, it's been like this," the Steward, knowing Lu Xiwán's concern for Fu Yao, spoke openly and fully.

"Is it a school personally selected by Mr. Fu?" Lu Xiwán suddenly thought of a good plan: Lu Xi Xi also needs to attend school domestically, so why not have the two children go together?

The Steward was a bit uneasy: "Miss Gu said she won't let us send the young master to school without consent, fearing school would affect his recovery."

Lu Xiwán sneered, noting that not going to school wouldn't make Miss Gu look at the children any more, and Yao Yao wouldn't recover much either.

"I'll talk to your husband about it."

The more one covers the wound and refuses to see the sun, the more it rots; Fu Sijue has no time to care about the children's health, and Gu Qingmeng, as a mother, doesn't seem very concerned either, which instead makes Lu Xiwán think that Gu Qingmeng is a mother who leans on her child's prestige.

Some people are actually worse off than they were five years ago.

"Xi Xi, would you be willing to go to school together with brother Yao Yao? You know Yao Yao's health isn't good, and Mom can't accompany you both to school."
