anchuan impatiently interrupted her, "Fu Xiaoyao, I hope you recuperate well in the hospital and don't cause any trouble. Also, don't bully Xiaoya!"The phone call ended, Fu Xiaoyao looked at her black..."It's nothing, let's eat," Fu Xiaoyao shook her head and smiled.

She didn't answer. Lu Hanchuan stared at her for a few seconds, nodded slightly, and said nothing more.

Until he had finished his breakfast and was sitting on the sofa tying his tie, he suddenly asked, "How did you consider the matter I asked you to think about last time"

"What are you talking about" Fu Xiaoyao was washing dishes when she heard this, momentarily confused.

Lu Hanchuan tied his tie and started arranging his cuffs, "It's just about returning to work. If you want to come back, I can transfer you to the headquarters. You can be in the same department as Yu Lin, and you can continue to be my secretary. So what do you mean"

Fu Xiaoyao's movements of putting away the dishes paused for a moment, "You still remember."

"I never forgot," Lu Hanchuan looked at her.

Fù Xiǎoyáo lowered her head slightly, "When I return to work, will they say anything"

"You've been thinking about this for so long, you must be worried," Lu Hanchuan raised an eyebrow.

Fu Xiaoyao hummed, "I suppose so."

"You don't have to be like this. If you really can't let go, I'll just transfer you to headquarters. No one there knows you, and no one will say anything." Lu Hanchuan stood up and said.

"Could it work"

"Why not" he questioned.

Fu Xiaoyao fell silent for a few seconds, "I'm just afraid of being suddenly parachuted in, those people will talk nonsense."

If she remembered correctly, the recruitment requirements for the headquarters of the Lu Group, besides factory work, stipulated that all clerical positions required a bachelor's degree from a key university. She was only an ordinary university graduate. What if someone asked her about it

When she lies, she feels guilty, but if she tells the truth, those people will say she got in through nepotism.

Although she was sent to the headquarters by Lü Hánchuan, which technically meant she got a favoritism opportunity, it still sounded bad to be called out like that.

"If you're afraid of what others might say, then work hard. As long as you have the strength, no one will dare to speak ill of you, understand" Lu Hanchuan said with a serious face.

Fu Xiaoyao thought about it for a while and felt it made sense. She nodded, "Okay, I understand. Then please take care of it."

She bowed to him.

Lu Hanchuan looked at her being so polite, his brows furrowed slightly. Then he walked towards her, stopped in front of her, and placed both hands on her shoulders, helping her up.

"You're still not behaving." He released one hand, caressing her cheek.

Fu Xiaoyao was stunned. "What's wrong"

Lu Hanchuan gazed at her with deep, fathomless eyes. "As I said, I am your husband. Whatever you want to do, whatever you want, you can tell me. As long as the reason is justifiable, I will not refuse you. So there's no need for you to be so polite to me, but it seems like you haven't taken my words to heart."

Fu Xiaoyao's heart skipped a beat, her gaze averted. "I... I haven't forgotten about it, I just got used to not asking for help."

"It seems your upbringing shaped you into this person." Lu Hanchuan lifted her chin.

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her eyelids and remained silent.

Lu Hanchuan let out a light sigh, "Since you're now married into the Lu family and rarely contact the Fu family, you should also try to make your personality more cheerful. I am your husband, and the Lu family is your support. You should also learn to rely on me, rely on the Lu family, understand"

Fu Xiaoyao's eyes flickered, but she still remained silent.

Relying on him, relying on the Lu family

Can she

It seemed he understood what she was thinking. Lu Hanchuan's face darkened, then he let go of her face. "Forget it, I won't force you to change your mind immediately. But you should think carefully about what I said. Also, you can reconsider my previous proposal to sever ties with the Fu family."

"You suddenly brought this up again" Fu Xiaoyao blinked in confusion.

"I just feel that the Fu family isn't suitable to be your relatives. Leaving them sooner rather than later would only benefit you and do no harm. Besides..."

He was looking at her face.

Fu Xiaoyao's brow furrowed. She followed his gaze and touched her face with a puzzled expression, "What else"

A flash of an expression Lu Hanchuan couldn't decipher crossed his eyes. His words held a hidden meaning: "Also, haven't you noticed that you don't look anything like the Fu family at all"

Fu Xiaoyao smiled. She thought he was going to say something, with such a serious expression, making her nervous for half the day.

"Isn't that normal Children don't have to be exactly like their parents, do they" she said unconcernedly.

Lu Hanchuan saw that she hadn't realized the meaning hidden in his words. His brow furrowed, feeling a little tired, "Do whatever you think is best, but what do you plan to do about my proposal"

Fu Xiaoyao bit her lip. "Perhaps it's better to just stay in the relationship, after all, they haven't done anything too outrageous besides asking me for money, and they did raise me. If I were to cut ties with them now, they would definitely make fun of me."

"Are you sure" Lu Hanchuan asked her.

Fu Xiaoyao nodded. "I'm sure."

Lu Hanchuan rubbed his temples, "I understand. But you should still limit your contact with the Fu family in the future."

"What's wrong" Fu Xiaoyao always felt like he was hiding something from her.

Lu Hanchuan patted her head, "You can't be told now, let's talk about it later."

"You're still hiding something from me, aren't you" Fu Xiaoyao frowned. "What's the matter Why won't you tell me now and have to wait until later"

"Right now, I haven't figured out the truth yet. I'll tell you when I do." Lu Hanchuan explained simply.

Fu Xiaoyao the more she listened, the more confused she became. "Truth Could it be that my parents did something illegal This can't be right, they might have some influence, but they are very cowardly, only bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and afraid of death. I don't think they would do anything illegal. It's more likely Zixuan..."

She hesitated, lacking confidence to continue.

Fu Zixuan's courage was much greater than that of his mother and father. He even dared to gamble recently, which is already illegal.

To do other illegal things is also possible.

"Don't overthink it." Lu Hanchuan put his hand down. "I just happened to learn about something from your aunt back home, something about your parents and..."

At this point, he glanced at her subtly, then continued: "Whether or not your parents have committed a crime, only the results of the investigation will tell. So what I want to ask you now is, if your parents have broken the law, what would you do"

Fu Xiaoyao didn't expect him to ask her that, and was at a loss for words for a moment. "I don't know, I've never thought about that question before."

Then you better think about it carefully. Maybe the investigation will reveal that they really did something wrong Lu Hanchuan didn't pressure her to answer right away.

Fu Xiaoyao took a deep breath, "Then you have to tell me, what did they do What crime could they possibly commit"

"As I just said, I can't tell you now. If I did, you'd impulsively go find them. What if they get angry and hurt you" Lu Hanchuan still didn't answer her.

Fu Xiaoyao was a little disappointed, "Is it that serious"

"I won't lie to you, just stay in the apartment for now. I have to go to the company first. In two days, I'll take you to headquarters to get familiar with it." Lu Hanchuan said, lifting his foot toward the entrance hall.

Fu Xiaoyao followed behind him, watching him bend down to change his shoes, "Be careful on the road."

Lu Hanchuan changed his shoes and stood up, then pinched her chin and kissed her on the lips. "Got it, call me if anything happens. I'm leaving now."

After he was done, he released her chin and walked out the door.ry."Qi Ya cried very sadly, and her apology was also very sincere.If one were a soft-hearted person, they would probably feel some pity and forgive her on the spot.But Fu Xiaoyao wouldn't, she absolut...
