Chapter 847: Finding Clues (1)

Seeing Zhao Youlin smile again, Mu Tingfeng couldn’t help but smile a little more. He lowered his head and pressed against Zhao Youlin’s forehead, saying in a hoarse voice, “Don’t worry. I’m here for everything.”

“Even if it’s Lu Xiangtian, as long as I’m here, no one can touch you and force you to do things you don’t like.”

Zhao Youlin’s body trembled. Looking at the extremely serious look of the person in front of her, she smiled and said, “Yes, I believe you.”

In the past, she thought that women who needed to rely on others were very weak, but now she realized that she only thought that way because she had no one to rely on at that time.

Now, this person was willing to let her rely on him, and she was also willing to rely on him occasionally. Watching him try hard for her did not feel bad.

Relationships were originally a matter of mutual consent. Too much compromise might wear down each other’s personalities, causing each other to lose their original excitement and light. However, a proper compromise could make each other more intimate. It was more of a realization of the other party’s concern for her.

The two people upstairs were warm and ambiguous, but the people downstairs who had been abandoned were not so lucky!

Not long after Zhao Youlin went upstairs, Lu Xiangtian also walked back with a gloomy face.

The look on his face made everyone’s heart tremble. They secretly wondered what Zhao Youlin had just said to annoy the person in front of them.

Lu Shu looked at Lu Xiangtian and knew that Zhao Youlin and Lu Xiangtian had fallen out in their discussion. She was delighted, but then she thought of the thing on Zhao Youlin and her face darkened. She became more and more afraid of this woman who shared the same name as a certain someone.

Fortunately, Lu Xiangtian was angry, but he did not vent his anger on the others present.

However, since Zhao Youlin had left, Lu Xiangtian naturally had no reason to stay. After saying a simple goodbye to Su Ruixin and the others, he left with Lu Shu and the others.

Su Ruixin could not wait for him to leave, so she did not stay any longer. She only politely sent him off to the main entrance.

Lu Shu and Lu Xiangtian sat in the back seat of the car. Lu Sizheng, on the other hand, had the foresight to sit directly in the passenger seat.

As soon as the three of them sat down, a gloomy atmosphere quickly spread throughout the car.

The driver seemed to be focused on driving, but if you looked closely, you would see that his forehead was covered in a cold sweat.

Lu Shu was a little restless from the gloomy atmosphere, and her hands that were hanging in front of her subconsciously tightened the hem of her skirt.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally said, “Dad, you just...”

Before Lu Shu could finish her sentence, Lu Xiangtian had already turned his head and stared at Lu Shu. The coldness in his eyes made Lu Shu shudder involuntarily.

Ever since Lu Xiangtian had brought her back, this person had always been soft-spoken and protective towards her. When had he ever shown her such a frightening appearance?

Lu Shu’s heart skipped a beat, and her hatred towards Zhao Youlin grew. Her instincts told her that the change in Lu Xiangtian’s attitude towards her was most likely related to Zhao Youlin!

“Dad, what’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that all of a sudden?” Lu Shu tried her best to make herself look less nervous and guilty.

Lu Xiangtian stared at Lu Shu for a long time, so long that Lu Shu almost thought that he had seen through something. Only then did Lu Xiangtian look away, “You said before that you haven’t seen your mother since you were born, and your mother left you in the orphanage without leaving you any keepsakes?” He asked emotionlessly

Lu Shu’s expression changed slightly, but she quickly understood what Lu Xiangtian meant. “Yes... I haven’t seen my mother, and I have taken no keepsakes from her.”

Lu Shu paused for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at Lu Xiangtian. “Dad, why are you asking about this suddenly? Don’t tell me...”

Lu Xiangtian stared into Lu Shu’s eyes, trying to find some clues. A moment later, he said faintly, “That Ms. Zhao just now, the necklace on her neck... looks like the one your mom wore when she was alive.”

“What?” Lu Shu pretended to be surprised. “Why is Mom’s necklace on her? Could it be... could it be that you saw wrongly, Dad?”

Lu Xiangtian glanced at Lu Shu but didn’t answer. Lu Shu realized that she had misspoken and cursed in her heart. She quickly corrected herself. “The Zhao family is a big family. Ms. Zhao probably bought the necklace from someone. Dad, did you see it clearly? If it really is mom’s necklace, then... Should we buy it back?”

Lu Shu’s words were like a thorn, easily poking at Lu Xiangtian’s most sensitive spot.

“I’d like to, but Ms. Zhao isn’t willing to part with it.”

Lu Shu frowned. “She’s not willing to part with it? Did she turn you down, Dad? This... This girl has no resistance to such beautiful things. I reckon that necklace is also very pretty, and Ms. Zhao can’t bear to part with it. However...”

As Lu Shu spoke, her expression suddenly changed, and a hint of killing intent flashed across her eyes. “That Ms. Zhao doesn’t know what’s good for her. Father, you’ve already personally asked her for it, yet she still rejected it. She doesn’t know what’s good for her. Why don’t...”

After Lu Shu finished speaking, Lu Xiangtian did not respond, and the atmosphere in the car instantly became a little awkward.

After a long while, Lu Shu finally heard Lu Xiangtian’s reply. “I know what to do. Don’t interfere.”

Lu Shu’s expression stiffened for a moment. She lowered her head and did not say another word, but a hint of killing intent flashed across her eyes.

Little did she know that Lu Xiangtian saw every change in her, and a hint of deep thought flashed across his eyes.

Lu Sizheng, who had been sitting in the front passenger seat, listened to the conversation between the two people in the back seat, and the corners of his lips slowly curved into a strange smile.

At that moment, Zhao Youlin did not know what kind of impact she had caused on the Lu family because of her little episode. She just felt depressed that someone would think of her just because she wore a necklace once in a blue moon, and she even said that she was an old friend... an old friend...

Zhao Youlin was not really stupid. At first, she was indeed a little angry, but when she reacted, some things began to reveal themselves.

Lu Xiangtian said that the necklace on his body was very similar to the necklace worn by an old friend of his. Was it an excuse, or was it true?

If it was true, then../

Zhao Youlin’s heart was suddenly in a turmoil. Although she said that she didn’t care, how could she really say that she didn’t care about this kind of thing?

That woman... The woman who gave birth to me, but I don’t know if she really wanted to abandon me, or if she has some unspeakable secret...

Zhao Youlin was in a dilemma. She sat in front of her desk in a daze, completely unaware of Xiao Li walking in from outside.
