Winning Him Over

"He's a complete pervert! To monopolize you, he drugged you and took your innocence, causing you to get pregnant before marriage and have no choice but to marry him. Sister, Yu Chiyin is so unscrupulous; think carefully about whether he truly loves you or just wants to destroy you."

Lu Sirong's face, twisted with jealousy, didn't understand what made that wretched Lu Fengxuan so unforgettable to Yu Chiyin!

Four years ago, she drugged Lu Fengxuan and deliberately found two beggars to ruin her, yet she was saved by Yu Chiyin.

The next day when she awoke, Yu Chiyin immediately prepared an extravagant dowry and went to the Lu Family to propose. At that time, Lu Sirong and the Madame of the Lu Family also filled her ears with talk of Yu Chiyin's ill intentions, pouring the blame for the drugging on him.

Lu Fengxuan was foolish enough to believe their words and rejected his proposal without a second thought.

Sadly, no one expected her to become pregnant. Despite all the schemes and calculations of Lu Sirong and the Madame, it was she, the adopted daughter, who ended up marrying into the Yu Family in splendor.

Now, hearing Lu Sirong's righteous words, Lu Fengxuan sneered to herself inside.

Looking at her jealous expression while also feeling secretly pleased, she said as if she had gotten away with something, "We already have a child, so I guess I just have to accept it."

"Accept it?!!!" Lu Sirong exclaimed, losing her composure.

Lu Fengxuan frowned slightly and looked at her with feigned confusion when the butler, Lin, brought in the tea.

She reached for a cup, blew away the froth on the edge, and began to drink slowly, unconcerned with the Lu Sirong by her side, who was hesitating and fidgeting like sitting on pins and needles.

"Sister, I was out of line."

Lu Sirong had put so much effort into her plans that she didn't want to reveal a flaw at this point, so she had no choice but to lower herself and apologize with pinched nose.

With sorrow, she said, "When you agreed to marry into the family, it was because you were afraid Yu Chiyin would go after the Lu Family. So, mom and I have always hoped that you would find the happiness you seek. If you're just going to give in like this, mom and I would probably never forgive ourselves."

Even the servants in the living room, including Butler Lin, were spies arranged by Yu Chiyin around her.

Lu Sirong intentionally said this, knowing that it would be conveyed to Yu Chiyin exactly as spoken. If she wasn't careful at this moment, she would fall into the trap that had been set.

Lu Fengxuan sipped her tea quietly, but in her heart, she knew that when it came to cunning, she was indeed no match for Lu Sirong.

Lu Sirong sat there pretending to be heartbroken and waited. When she didn't receive the usual immediate comfort from Lu Fengxuan, she couldn't help but be puzzled and looked up.

The golden light of the early morning sun poured through the living room's floor-to-ceiling windows, brightening the room.

Lu Fengxuan sat elegantly, sipping her tea, unrushed and unperturbed, exuding a serene warmth of peaceful years.

She was naturally very beautiful.

When she was calm, she naturally became the center of attention, and the servants couldn't help but stealthily watch her.

Lu Sirong felt a burning hatred; she was, after all, the true daughter of the Lu Family, while Lu Fengxuan was nothing but an improperly named adopted daughter. Yet now Fengxuan had become Yu Chiyin's wife, with a status a hundred times more distinguished than her own, forcing her to curry favor with Fengxuan everywhere.

If her mother hadn't sent her away to the countryside to fend for herself, she wouldn't have saved Yu Chiyin, and consequently, would never have soared high on the branches like a phoenix…

The more Lu Sirong thought, the more jealous she became, nearly failing to maintain the fake smile on her face. Looking at Lu Fengxuan, she realized she was starting to see through her, an odd feeling creeping into her thoughts.

"Sister, Brother Jiang Che asked me to tell you that he is waiting for you at the Emperor Hotel tonight. He said it's a date he wouldn't miss for the world."

She threw out the bait of Jiang Che, planning to test Lu Fengxuan's reaction.
