Luo Ying was not surprised to see Wen Yu agreeing so readily.

In the original book, that shrewd old man was the real reason for the bankruptcy of Wen Yu’s family. It seemed that Wen Yu had long known about this matter.

“I need you to help me check on a certain patient.” Luo Ying bent down and looked into Wen Yu’s eyes. “But you have to promise me that you won’t tell Lu Zhao about this.”

Wen Yu sat on the ground, while looking up at Luo Ying.

For some reason, she felt a strong sense of oppression.

She had been trained by the old fox for many years. Very few people could make her feel so oppressed.

Luo Ying was one of the few.

“Alright.” Wen Yu nodded.

When Lu Zhao returned, Luo Ying was just about to send Wen Yu out.

Lu Zhao saw the two of them sitting together and was a little surprised. “Wen Yu, am I due for a checkup today?”

Wen Yu shook her head. “No, I was here to talk to Madam about your illness.

It’s getting late, I should go.”

After Wen Yu finished speaking, she nodded at Luo Ying and took her leave.

Luo Ying stretched comfortably on the chair and opened her arms to Lu Zhao. “Lu Zhao, hug me.”

When Luo Ying acted coquettishly, Lu Zhao felt that coming home after a long day was all worth it.

“Why are you so proactive today?” Lu Zhao directly carried Luo Ying up and held her in his arms.

Luo Ying wrapped her arms around Lu Zhao’s neck. “Wen Yu said that if we want you to get better quickly, you need to be given a lot more love.”

Lu Zhao ruffled her hair. “I only need you by my side.”

Luo Ying hugged Lu Zhao tightly. She was actually a little sad. Wen Yu had just told her about Lu Zhao’s childhood in the Lu Family.

After hearing this, her heart ached. Lu Zhao had been in the Lu family for so many years, but he suffered worse than most.

There were many illegitimate children in the Lu Family, but few became true descendants of the Lu Family in the end.

They were faced with harsh tests and elimination at birth.

Lu Zhao had only managed to reach his position through a lot of hardship and struggle.

“I was thinking about how you managed to persevere in the Lu Family for so many years.” Luo Ying sighed.

“What’s wrong? Do you feel sorry for me?” Lu Zhao smiled lightly.

“Maybe it’s for my mother, or maybe it’s because I want to be with you now,” Lu Zhao looked into Luo Ying’s eyes and said.

“You’re lying. You haven’t even met me at that time. How can you say that you did all that to be with me?” Luo Ying stretched out her hand and hit Lu Zhao with her fist in rebuke.

Lu Zhao’s eyes flashed with an emotion that Luo Ying could not understand. He looked at Luo Ying seriously and said, “Maybe I really got to where I am today because of you.”

Luo Ying smiled.

How could they have met before?

“I’ll help you find your mother. Don’t be too stressed over it.” Luo Ying changed the topic and brought up Lu Zhao’s mother.

Lu Zhao rubbed the space between his brows. He had been thinking of ways to find clues about his mother these past few days, but the heavens seemed to be against him. Investigate all the clues was going to be very difficult.

If they wanted to investigate matters, they had to go through the old man.

“This weekend, my grandfather plans to invite an old friend to hold a banquet at the Lu family’s house,” Lu Zhao said.

This old friend was probably not someone to be trifled with.

After forcing Lu Zhao and Luo Ying to get a divorce, he probably planned to plant his own people by Lu Zhao’s side.

Perhaps this old friend had something to do with the person the old master intended to plant.

Luo Ying nodded. “I’ll go with you. However, there’s one thing I don’t understand. Why hasn’t Old Master ever thought of solving the problem from my side?”

If he wanted Lu Zhao and Luo Ying to get married, he could also make Luo Ying give up on her own accord.

However, the old master did not seem to take notice of her, much less coerce her into giving up the marriage by herself.

Luo Ying was even more puzzled.

Lu Zhao reached out and gently touched her hair. “If the old master does anything to you, I won’t let him off.”

Luo Ying smiled. “Don’t be nervous. I’m just a little confused.”

Lu Zhao ruffled her hair. No matter what, this woman could always stab him in the heart.

“What else did Wen Yu say to you?” Lu Zhao asked.

“You have to recuperate well,” Luo Ying said. “You can’t allow yourself to get too stressed, do you understand?”

Luo Ying reached out and rubbed Lu Zhao’s furrowed brows. “Stop frowning. You don’t look good anymore..”
