Chapter 95: A Frightening Confrontation?
âDarling, could you pass me the phone?â Lu Li asked with a gentle smile, gazing at Cao Yingying whose cheeks were still flushed with color. âWhatâs wrong? Show that same energy you had when you barged into my room last night! Youâve got to stand up for yourself!â
âDonât say that, donât you dare!â Cao Yingying, blushing with embarrassment and annoyance, glared at Lu Li, her eyes shimmering with modest shyness.
âHahahaha, whatâs there to be shy about? Grandfather even encouraged us to work hard to give him a great-grandchild soon!â The elder was indeed too cheerful, like a child at heart. His words made everyone feel at ease, though sometimes they were embarrassingly frank. But it was all good-natured; if anyone else had said those words, they wouldnât have gotten away with it around Lu Li.
âUm⊠go and answer your phone!â Cao Yingying, pulling the phone from Lu Liâs pocket, connected the call and placed it to his ear while turning her head away.
âLu Brother, youâre out flirting again!!!â Before Lu Li could respond, an exasperated and slightly aggrieved voice came through the phone. It was Chen Xiaoyiâs voice. Lu Li, with a knowing smile, glanced at Cao Yingying, who was eavesdropping, and replied: âAbsolutely! Your Yingying is right here beside me. But is Yingying a flower or a weed?â
He misunderstood Chen Xiaoyiâs words, thinking she was just feeling jealous because he had spent some extra time with Mr. Cao today.
Cao Yingying, holding the phone to Lu Liâs ear and catching his gaze, gave him an annoyed look.
âItâs not about Sister YingyingâŠâ Chen Xiaoyiâs voice was laced with jealousy, which Lu Li could sense even through the phone.
âHmm?â
âA woman came to our house claiming to be your woman and wanted to come in. The security has just informed me.â Chen Xiaoyi responded, with You Mengâs precedent in mind; she wouldnât let anyone in without Lu Liâs approval. Last time, You Meng was sent by that scoundrel Ye Chen and turned traitor, which put her in danger. Learning from that, Chen Xiaoyi was being cautious and needed to confirm with Lu Li first. đ»đ»đŠđđđđ«đ·đđđŠđ”.đŹđ°đ
âShe said sheâs my woman? Whatâs her name?â Lu Li frowned, certain that his women were only Chen Xiaoyi and Cao Yingying.
Chen Xiaoyi was calling him, and Cao Yingying was holding his phone, so there couldnât be any confusion there.
âShe didnât give her name!â Chen Xiaoyiâs tone became serious after detecting Lu Liâs unusual demeanor.
âTell the security⊠no, have You Meng detain that woman; lock her up until I return. I donât have any other women!â Lu Li was sure; he never had a habit that could lead to such a mistake. Now, a woman was claiming to be his at his doorstep.
âMaster brother, donât worry, Iâll capture that woman immediately.â You Mengâs voice came through the phone, indicating she was right beside Chen Xiaoyi.
âAlright, Iâm coming back now!â
Lu Liâs expression turned serious as he sped up the car.
âWhatâs the matter?â Cao Yingying, seeing Lu Liâs changed expression and after hanging up, asked worriedly.
âDid something happen?â
âA woman claiming to be mine has shown up at our house.â Lu Liâs face was grim: âDonât ask; Iâm certain, besides you, I have no other women. This person is likely sent by someone to cause trouble.â
ââŠâ Cao Yingying didnât even ask. She knew her man well; if he were to stray, heâd be straightforward about it. A sharp look flashed in her eyes; it might indeed be Ye Chenâs doing, sending someone to disrupt their relationship.
Placing her hands over Lu Liâs on the steering wheel, Cao Yingying looked at him with firm, soft eyes.
Lu Liâs heart skipped a beat, touched by her unconditional trust. He wouldnât get upset even if doubted. The worst Cao Yingying might do, like Chen Xiaoyi, was to pout and playfully scold him for being a flirt, having accepted so much already. But he hadnât expected such unwavering faith from her.
Truly, the favor of a beautiful woman was a heavy burden.
Returning the firm grip, he nodded solemnly at her.
They rushed back to the Lu family estate, attracting the watchful eyes of the security guards as they entered.
The guards marveled. The young master, accompanied by Mrs. Lu, had left earlier, a common occurrence. However, shortly after, a beautiful woman, though slightly older than the young master, arrived claiming to be the young masterâs woman. This could be a classic case of a love triangle.
Before long, You Meng, in her combat gear, stepped out, exuding a fierce aura. She quickly subdued the suspected mistress and tied her up. Was this the feared confrontation everyone talked about? The guards were terrified!
They knew You Meng was formidable, but they hadnât expected her to be this powerful. She dislocated the womanâs arm in a few swift moves.
The entire operation unfolded so quickly, the guards could barely keep up. The young master truly lived up to his title as the heir of the Lu family. Such formidable women were at his beck and call, handling conflicts directly.
Chen Ya, enduring the pain in her arm, stared blankly at the two women before her.
One was Chen Xiaoyi, who had managed to stay by Lu Liâs side in this lifetime and gained his deep trust. The other, surprisingly, was You Meng! In her previous life, You Meng was still working for that scoundrel nephew of hers! It wasnât until after Lu Liâs death by Ye Chenâs hands that she realized Lu Li was the man she had been searching for.
If it hadnât been for You Mengâs surprise attack on Ye Chen, their final showdown wouldnât have been so easy.
But why, in this life, had she found Lu Li so early?
Could this also be a result of the butterfly effect?
âChen Ya, the young mistress of the Chen family from Modu, the future head of the family, Ye Chenâs aunt, if Iâm not mistaken!â You Meng stood coldly in front of Chen Ya, her tone icy.
Though she appeared vulnerable to Lu Li, Cao Yingying, and Chen Xiaoyi, one shouldnât forget she was the second-best assassin in the Celestial Dragon organization after Ye Chen!
She could afford to be soft and gentle to earn her redemption in Lu Liâs eyes, but that didnât mean sheâd treat Lu Liâs enemies the same.
Any threat to Lu Li, she would eliminate.
