Chapter 73: Go to the Hospital Right Now!

Lu Xiwán laughed and shook her head, "Miss Gu guessed wrong; I'm not that perverse, I just want to ask you one thing."

Under Gu Qingmeng's cold, fierce gaze, Lu Xiwán halted, folded away her smile and stared at Gu Qingmeng intently, unwilling to miss any of her expressions.

"Back then, when Lu Xiwán disappeared, who actually did it?"

Just that sentence seemed to drain all her strength; she clutched the handrail tightly to steady herself.

Gu Qingmeng burst into a loud laugh, her features contorting together from the expression.

"Hahaha, even if you know, what can you do? Do you think Fu Sijue can stay out of it? He let me kill Lu Xiwán, but he never said he'd keep pretending for so long!"

Gu Qingmeng, almost frantic, clutched the iron railing and shook it nonstop, her eyes leaving only ferocity.

The prison guard behind her rushed forward, pressed Gu Qingmeng down and forced her away, while Lu Xiwán sat in the chair for a long time, unable to rise.

Indeed, he knew…

Then why bother pretending to be so affectionate?

Lu Xiwán didn't fully believe Gu Qingmeng's words; she was even more eager to learn the truth from back then.

Lu Xiwán staggered home in a daze, only snapping back to herself after Lu Xixi tugged her hand and shook her for a while.

"Mom, why are you like this when you came back from outside?"

Upon hearing that, Fu Yao hurried over, looking at her with worry.

Fu Sijue also got up and walked over, placing his hand on her forehead, "You're not sick."

Lu Xiwán flushed for a second, stepped back and dodged Fu Sijue's hand.

Then she glared at Fu Sijue, "Don't act as if I get sick that easily!"

Lu Xixi snickered twice, "But when you were abroad, Mom, you were always getting sick."

Lu Xiwán let out a cold laugh twice, fixing her gaze directly on Lu Xixi.

"What else did you tell others?"

Lu Xixi, terrified, covered her mouth and huddled behind Fu Sijue like a quail, "Uncle Fu, save me!"

Fu Sijue patted her head, ignoring Lu Xiwán's clenched‑teeth scowl.

"I asked, and the nanny also prepared some of the medicine you often use."

Lu Xiwán let out a light hum, tossed a "thanks" and walked into the kitchen.

Gu Qingmeng hasn't been short of offending people; today she was arrested, yet the nanny aunt prepared a whole table of dishes, as if celebrating.

Fu Sijue picked up a piece of fish‑flavored eggplant and placed it in Lu Xiwán's bowl, "This dish turned out pretty good today."

Lu Xiwán almost choked on the rice, coughing until her face turned red.

"You eat it yourself; I don't like eggplant," she said, then casually slipped it into Xi Xi's bowl.

Lu Xixi rolled her eyes to the heavens, "Mom, you clearly love fish‑flavored eggplant the most."

The slap of truth came too fast, and Lu Xiwán choked again.

Fu Sijue's gaze instantly grew rather profound, making Lu Xiwán's hair stand on end.

Could she say this was all a misunderstanding?

"I used to like it a lot, but not anymore," she said; from just now, Lu Xiwán no longer liked eggplant at all.

Lu Xiwán, under pressure, continued to eat calmly, though inside she was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Fu Sijue's gaze was scorching, impossible to ignore.

After dinner, Lu Xiwán plunged straight into her bedroom, turning into a tucked‑in turtle.

Following the principle that if you don't see it, you won't be troubled, Lu Xiwán decided to jump less in front of Fu Sijue from now on.

Suddenly, Lu Xixi's cries pierced the bedroom door, drawing Lu Xiwán's attention.

A commotion downstairs, Lu Xiwán hurried down to investigate.

"Hold him down quickly!" Fu Sijue, cradling Yao Yao in his arms, had his usually calm eyes now in utter panic.

Yao Yao's hand hung at Fu Sijue's side, his white shirt completely soaked with blood.

Xi Xi, frightened, clutched Yao Yao's hand and shouted his name.

Lu Xiwán hurried to Yao Yao's side and gave a quick check of the situation.

"Now go to the hospital!"
