Chapter 355: Fu Zhi Set A Trap For Herself

Before Lu Jingqing went to Myanmar, he went to the Lu Household to tell Madam Lu that Lu Yushen had finally opened his mouth to speak.

Normally, Bai Yao would pretend to be very delighted, but this thing about Lu Yushen was different.

After all, it was all because of Bai Yao that he could not speak! Thus, Bai Yao chickened out and went back to her parents’ house without any hesitation.

The Bai Family was considered an elite family in Yu City. They worked in the medical sector, and some of their younger members worked in the government sector. In Bai Yao’s opinion, her family members were successful.

After Bai Yao got out of the car, she dashed straight to Madam Bai’s room. Just as she was about to tell her mother about Lu Yushen, she saw someone sitting next to Madam Bai right now.

It was her sister—Bai Miao.

“What’s all the panic about?” Madam Bai shot daggers at Bai Yao. “Do you know how old you turned this year?”

The corner of Bai Yao’s mouth twitched awkwardly, but since the situation was urgent right now, she bit the bullet and said, “Mom, Lu Yushen has already regained his ability to speak! Do you think he will tell Lu Jingqing that it was me who tried to drown him last time?”

Bai Miao helped Madam Bai get up while putting a pillow behind her back.

Bai Yao continued to blabber without stopping. “Besides, you asked me to give the drug to Xu Wei. Otherwise, she would not have had labor dystocia. What if she found out?”

Bai Yao’s weakness and incompetence exasperated Madam Bai. “It has been so long, and all the evidence is gone. Besides, Lu Jingqing was not able to get anything on us, so what’s there to fear?”

It was Bai Yao who had wanted to do this. Lu Jingqing had already been a very successful businessman when he’d married Xu Wei, and Bai Yao had felt threatened. She feared that his descendant would snatch the Lu Corporation from them, so she had decided to drug Xu Wei when she had conceived Lu Yushen.

Madam Bai was disappointed in her for pushing all the blame on her now that something had gone wrong.

“But mom,” Bai Yao said, her brows tightly furrowed. “You don’t know Fu Zhi. She’s an odd kid. She can cure any illness she comes across, and she’s the one who cured Lu Yushen! I’m afraid she’ll find out something!

“No matter how great she is, she’s just a girl. There’s nothing to be afraid of!”

Madam Bai rubbed the spot between her brows. “If you don’t like her, then do something to kick her out of the Lu Family.”

“I’m not the one who adopted her. Besides, Lu Jingqing and Xu Wei like her very much.”

Madam Bai was left speechless by Bai Yao’s stupidity. She had already given her a hint, yet she still could not get it.

“Hire someone and take her away. Once she’s married to a barbarian from a mountain and has her chastity stripped away, do you think Lu Jingqing will still treat her like she’s his treasure? Besides, she has put Chuwan in the reformatory and she still wants to live better than my granddaughter? There’s no way I’m letting that happen.”

Bai Yao’s eyes glowed. “That’s genius, mom!”

As she was standing aside, Bai Miao frowned and chimed in, “I don’t think we should do that. The most important reason I came to Yu City this time, other than to look for someone, is to look for a suitable marriage candidate for Zhicong.”
