Lu Yushan walked into the main hall of the Lu family and saw her parents sitting on the sofa with dark expressions, not saying a word.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she strode over.
“Dad, you asked me to come back in such a hurry. Is something wrong at home?”
Lu Huai'an glanced at her and pointed irritably at the photos on the table. “Look for yourself.”
Lu Yushan then noticed over a dozen photos scattered on the coffee table, depicting indecent and ambiguous poses.
What was more, every woman in the photos was her, but the men were all different.
“Dad, where did these photos come from?” Lu Yushan picked them up and quickly scanned them, looking at Lu Huai'an in shock.
“You still have the nerve to ask where these photos came from? You did the deed, don’t you know?” Lu Huai'an, with his legs crossed, glared at her, furious.
“I…” Lu Yushan was momentarily speechless.
She was playful, but those were just casual encounters.
No, could someone have been tracking her, secretly taking photos?
“Yushan, you are the prospective daughter-in-law of the Qin family. Why can’t you be more discreet in your life? Now it’s a mess, and they’ve got something on you. Five years of youth have been wasted,” Bai Yirong said, her brow furrowed, her tone filled with complaint and unwillingness.
Hearing this, Lu Yushan instantly understood where the photos came from.
“Qin Si Ye came? What did he say?”
“Seeing these photos, what else do you think he would say? Of course, he came to break off the engagement.”
Lu Huai'an glared at her and continued,
“He also said that you colluded with his family’s stepmother, Jiang Jie, to buy medicine from abroad to poison his grandmother.
Yushan, you usually seem so sharp, how could you do something so foolish?”
At this, Lu Yushan felt as if she had plunged into an abyss. Her body stiffened, and after a long moment, her eyes reddened as she exclaimed, “I had no choice but to resort to this.
You know his grandmother has always disliked me. Qin Si Ye and I have been engaged for five years, and he has been delaying the marriage, largely because she obstructed it.
I was very discreet, how could I know he would discover it.”
“He is Qin Si Ye, an elite in the business world, decisive and ruthless, with an intelligence far surpassing ordinary people. You dared to scheme under his nose. It’s sheer overestimation of your abilities and utter foolishness.” Lu Huai'an’s gaze towards her was filled with the regret of someone who couldn’t mold his offspring into what he desired.
What about intelligence far surpassing ordinary people? He’s nothing special. Didn’t she still deceive him about that matter until now?
Lu Yushan frowned, suddenly thinking of something.
“Dad, it must be Shen Xi who saw something amiss and told him. Otherwise, how could he not have discovered the problem with the medicine before?”
“Shen Xi? Are you talking about that internationally renowned doctor who returned from Country B?” Lu Huai'an’s gaze flickered a few times.
“Yes, her.” Lu Yushan’s eyes showed a chilling glint. “She is now Qin Si Ye’s hired family doctor and is treating Xu Zhilan. Dad, please help me, deal with her first.”
“How? Do you want to repeat your mistakes?” Lu Huai'an stood up and glared at her. “Now that things have come to this, any further effort is futile. You should just accept your fate!”
“No, I won’t accept my fate! Dad, please help me one more time, okay?”
Lu Yushan was now utterly bewildered, and the only person she could think of to help was her father.
After all, experience counts. Her father had been in the business world for decades and could surely find a way to handle this and make Qin Si Ye cancel the broken engagement.
Bai Yirong, seeing her beloved daughter weeping profusely, felt a pang of heartache and couldn’t help but chime in, “Yes, Huai'an, just think of a way and help her again.”
“Help her? You say it so easily. How can I help? The opponent is Qin Si Ye. If I handle this poorly, I’ll be utterly destroyed.” Lu Huai'an finished speaking and headed upstairs.
“Dad! Dad!” No matter how much Lu Yushan called out from below, Lu Huai'an did not stop.
