Han Lu noticed that Xiao Chengye looked solemn.

She smiled more evilly.

If she wanted to make them fall out of each other, Xiao You's biological mother would be a great starting point.

Xiao Chengye's biggest pet peeve was Xiao You's mother who had been passed on from one man to another.

His second biggest pet peeve was that his children disrespected him or even hated him and wanted to kill him.

Xiao Chengye's public image was a successful businessman who was kind to his children.

In fact, he was very selfish and self-centered.

Anyone who might threaten his wealth or life would be got rid of no matter if it was his daughter or someone else.

Han Lu looked down and pretended to be really worried.

But Xiao Chengye still said that he trusted his daughter, "Youyou is a reasonable kid."

Xiao Chengye said kindly.

And he didn't seem to doubt his daughter.

But Han Lu was aware that once the seed of suspicion was buried in Xiao Chengye's heart, she could make the seed grow into a towering tree by stirring things up slightly.

As long as Xiao Rong was smart enough, he could survive in this family.

Compared with manipulating Xiao You, Han Lu felt that it was easier to manipulate Xiao Rong who was disabled.

Xiao Rong would become her boy and puppet.

But Xiao Chengye and Xiao You had to die.

Han Lu smiled smugly when she thought that she could own all the properties of the Xiao Family.

...

As soon as Xiao You got back to her room, she wanted to smash the ancient vase.

But when she was about to do so, she realized that her father was downstairs and would hear the sound.

So, she gritted her teeth and left the vase alone.

She walked around her room twice like a trapped beast.

She cursed Han Lu hundreds of times.

Then she took out her phone and made a call, "Have you got rid of him?"

She asked.

The man who answered the call became silent.

Then he said, "Yes."

"What happened to you?"

She realized that he couldn't speak confidently.

She was a bit suspicious.

The man coughed and answered, "I just buried him, so I'm a bit tired."

He indeed sounded tired because he was panting.

So, Xiao You didn't check the details.

She just stressed, "Clean everything and leave no evidence."

"Yes."

The man responded.

Xiao You felt relieved.

The reason why Han Lu set her up was that Han Lu wanted to ruin her image.

However, even if her father had a bad impression of her, she was still his daughter, a family member of the Xiao Family.

But who was Han Lu?

She was just a childless old woman who was called Mrs. Xiao.

As soon as Xiao Chengye was dead, Xiao You would kick her out.

No...

Xiao You would shave Han Lu's head, disfigure her face, and pull out her teeth before kicking her out.

She wanted to see if Han Lu would still be as smug as today.

...

Han Lu was having breakfast with Xiao Chengye in the dining hall.

She helped with Xiao Chengye's tie gently and saw him off.

Before he left, he was a bit worried that Xiao You hadn't had breakfast.

Han Lu noticed his worried look and felt unhappy, but she had no choice.

She had to act kind, "Youyou hasn't had breakfast yet, so she must be hungry now. I'll ask her to have breakfast after you go to work."

He recalled that Xiao You tried to hurt Han Lu with a knife.

Then he said, "I'm sorry. Youyou is hot-tempered. Hope you don't mind."

"It's fine." Han Lu smiled caringly, "We're a family. I know Youyou well. She was just trying to scare me and wouldn't actually hurt me."

Xiao Chengye nodded but he knew that Xiao You was cruel.

After saying goodbye and leaving the house, he asked his assistant to hire a new bodyguard for Han Lu in case Xiao You really hurt Han Lu.

If it really happened, the media in Beicheng would talk about it.

His disabled son was enough of a laugh for people in Beicheng.

If anything happened between Xiao You and Han Lu, he would be extremely ashamed.

As soon as Xiao Chengye left, Han Lu closed the door smilingly.

When she turned around, she saw Xiao You watching her on the second floor.

Xiao You smiled coldly, "What? Have you finished your acting?"

Han Lu was not afraid of Xiao You.

When Xiao You tried to stab her with a knife, she was so scared.

But now her scare just disappeared.

It almost seemed that it was only in people's imagination.

"Yes, I have."

Han Lu admitted honestly.

After saying so, she sat at the table to enjoy her tea and magazine.

Xiao You walked over and watched Han Lu who had been reading the magazine idly with her fingers on the table. She bent down slightly and asked her smilingly, "Are you really happy now?"

Han Lu looked up at Xiao You smilingly and quietly.

How could she not feel happy?

She had sent someone to pick up Xiao Rong from Gui Town.

As long as Xiao Rong returned, Xiao You's heirship was under threat.

Xiao You knew what Han Lu was thinking.

She smiled, "Do you think you'll win?"

"Let's see."

Han Lu withdrew her look.

Xiao You reached out to grab Han Lu's hair.

She dragged her over and forced her to look into her eyes with a sneer, "Do you think Xiao Rong could return Beicheng alive?"

Han Lu was grabbed by the hair.

She frowned in pain.

But what surprised her was not that Xiao You grabbed her hair but what she said.

Xiao You felt happier after seeing Han Lu's surprised face, "I know you sent someone to pick up Xiao Rong. But now I can tell you he can't return."

Xiao You was confident.

Han Lu frowned, "How do you know?"

"Because..." Xiao You bent down to get closer to her face and said slowly, "He's dead."

Han Lu was shocked.

Then she suddenly realized it.

She shook off Xiao You's hand and stood up quickly, "You killed Xiao Rong?"

"Kill is such a harsh word."

Xiao You said, "He was just unlucky. He died from an accident on his way back to Beicheng."

Xiao You withdrew her hand and shook her head, "I'm his sister. How could I kill him?"

Han Lu didn't want to waste her time on the discussion.

She stood up and went upstairs in a hurry.

Xiao You didn't stop her. She just watched her leave with a sneer.

Han Lu left in such a rush because she wanted to confirm if Xiao Rong was really dead in Gui Town.

But no matter who asked this question, the answer was that he was dead.

She trusted Bi Hao.

Bi Hao was her best assistant.

She always trusted Bi Hao's people.

Han Lu entered her room hurriedly.

She made the phone call shivering.

She listened carefully after she dialed the number.

She hoped Xiao You was lying.

If Xiao You wasn't lying, Han Lu would have no hope left in the Xiao Family.

If she wanted to compete with Xiao You, she had to have a child.

But she couldn't risk her life to give birth to a baby at her age.

And Xiao Chengye didn't intend to have another baby.

So, the only possibility was to make Xiao Rong come back.

She needed to work with Xiao Rong.

She needed to make him Xiao Chengye's heir.

And after Xiao Chengye was dead, she could manipulate Xiao Rong and let him be her puppet.

But nobody answered her call.

Han Lu's heart became colder and colder.

After dozens of seconds, her call was hung up because nobody answered it. She just called again.

But no one answered.

Finally, Han Lu became depressed.

Xiao You knocked on her door slowly.

Han Lu gritted her teeth and opened the door.

She was still holding her phone.

Xiao You smiled and looked at Han Lu's angry face. She knew that Han Lu failed to contact Xiao Rong.

If she managed to contact Xiao Rong, she would look different.

"How about that? Do you believe me now?"

Han Lu gritted her teeth, "You're so evil."

Xiao You smiled carelessly, "I'm evil? Everyone cares about their future. If I'm kind, would you be kind to me?"

She and Han Lu knew that only the heir of the Xiao Family would enjoy her life after Xiao Chengye died.

The other one would live miserably.

Han Lu's heart suddenly sank.

Xiao Rong's death meant that she lost her bargaining chips to fight against Xiao You.

She had to live under Xiao You's control.

Han Lu shook her head and stepped back to sit on the sofa.

Xiao You felt so much better after seeing how disappointed Han Lu was.

She couldn't resist the temptation to laugh.

She twitched her lips and opened her mouth.

She was about to laugh out loud.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, the sound of a servant opening the door came from downstairs.

In the next second, the servant almost screamed, "Young master, why are you here?"

Young master?

Both Xiao You and Han Lu heard the servant's scream.

They were shocked.

The only young master of the Xiao Family was Xiao Rong!

Did the servant mean Xiao Rong was back?

Xiao You's face changed suddenly. She walked out of the room quickly and looked down from the second floor.

And the person downstairs happened to look up in the living room.

They looked into each other's eyes.

Their eyes met.

Xiao You's eyes became wide open and exclaimed surprisedly, "How is it even possible?"

How could this happen?

It was impossible!

Xiao Rong should've been dead in Gui Town. Why was he here?
