The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 927 - 444 (Revised)

The colleague who didn’t get along with Mother Lu, Fu Juan, originally wanted to make Mother Lu look bad, but it turned out that Mother Lu became the host, bringing up the very topic she least wanted to mention.

And obviously, Fu Juan wasn’t very popular in this office. Now someone followed up on Mother Lu’s words and said, "Yeah, Fu Juan, I remember you mentioned last time that your daughter is dating someone whose family is extremely wealthy, apparently owning assets worth tens of billions. With such a good son-in-law, you can’t keep it a secret. You should invite us all to dinner some time, let everyone meet this son-in-law of yours."

Fu Juan felt like cursing in her heart at that moment, but she couldn’t let it show on her face. With a smile, she said: "As you all know, young people nowadays have ups and downs in love. One day things are good as if they’re inseparable, the next day they might be at each other’s throats. So, until the two of them decide to settle down, it wouldn’t be right for me to bring someone over for dinner. Once they’re officially a couple, I assure you I’ll invite everyone for a meal."

"Fu Juan, are you sure we’ll ever get to have that meal?" Someone inserted with a cool tone.

"What’s that supposed to mean?" Fu Juan couldn’t help but cool her expression.

"It means exactly what it sounds like. I have no ill intentions, just that, your daughter’s boyfriend, I happen to know him too. A few days ago, I was at the mall and saw that guy strolling around with another young lady. At first, I thought it was your daughter, and I was about to go over and greet them. Thankfully, my eyesight is good, I could see from five meters away that the person he was holding was not your daughter, and I stopped myself right there. I’ve been holding this in for several days now, thinking about giving you a heads-up. But then I worried you might think I have ulterior motives, enjoying watching your trouble. So, I didn’t say anything. Today, since we’ve all come to this, I think I should speak up." The person spoke earnestly but winked at Mother Lu out of Fu Juan’s sight. It was deliberate, completely deliberate.

Who would blame them when Fu Juan’s character was so flawed, they had endured enough of her.

Fu Juan’s face flushed with anger because of this colleague’s words.

But she had to maintain her composure, knowing well that everyone in the office was waiting to laugh at her. "You should have told me this earlier," Fu Juan replied, her smile as awkward as it could be. "Actually, the two of them have been at odds recently, as you all know about my daughter’s stubborn temper. That boy is deliberately provoking her."

Fu Juan could only save face by saying that, but only she knew the truth in her heart.

Her daughter had been crying at home every single day.

These wealthy young masters are quick to love and quick to tire; not long after getting together with her daughter, he started flirting with another woman and was caught by her daughter. After much crying and agitation from her daughter, he threw out the word ’breakup’ and left, unconcerned.

After learning about this, she personally called him to question how he could treat her daughter like this.

The boy blatantly said over the phone: "You didn’t think I was serious about your daughter, did you? With her looks and your family’s background, did you really think my parents would agree to let her into our family? You’re way too naive."

That sentence was a real blow to her.

Fu Juan felt miserable. If she was going through a tough time, she wasn’t going to let others have it easy: "Don’t just talk about me; my daughter is in a relationship, and it’s not finalized yet. On the other hand, Zhang Yan has clearly stated that everything is set, both parents are about to meet. There won’t be any surprises with that. We’re all looking forward to meeting the famous Xiao family’s son."

How could Mother Lu not see Fu Juan’s hidden intention, waiting to watch a joke unfold on her side? But with the call she received from Situ Xin, Mother Lu was confident.

"Don’t worry, there won’t be any surprises with me. Once we’ve set a date, I’ll let everyone know."

"Alright, then we all need to prepare the red envelopes properly."

Fu Juan was not only making things difficult for herself, she didn’t want others to have an easy time either. But her attacks against Mother Lu were futile and only made her the butt of the joke, infuriating her to no end.

Lu Xinyi had been in a good mood these past few days.

Originally, she didn’t know how to tell her parents about her pregnancy, but then Xiao Xuyang came by her house and resolved the matter. With Xiao Xuyang present, her parents didn’t blame her for the situation. Instead, they were especially concerned about her health.

Having laid her worries to rest and with her relationship with Xiao Xuyang progressing smoothly, how could Lu Xinyi not be in high spirits?

However, her good mood soured on the way to the bathroom when Liu Xin blocked her path.

Liu Xin looked haggard, as if she had aged several years overnight. Lu Xinyi recalled that after that day’s incident, Liu Xin hadn’t shown up at school anymore. So why would she suddenly appear now, blocking her way?

Liu Xin, seeing the radiant Lu Xinyi, felt an itch to hate her. She would never have taken Lu Xinyi to that party if she knew it would connect her with Xiao Xuyang.

But there are no regrets in life.

Seeing Liu Xin, Lu Xinyi didn’t want to deal with her, planning to ignore her and walk past. But Liu Xin was here specifically to talk to Lu Xinyi today, so how could she let Lu Xinyi just walk by?

"Xinyi, can we talk? I really realize my mistake, I truly do," Liu Xin said earnestly. But it wasn’t regret; it was regret that she allowed Lu Xinyi to meet Xiao Xuyang. If she had known that entering that room that day would lead to a relationship with Xiao Xuyang, Liu Xin would have drunk the medicine herself.

If Xiao Xuyang knew what Liu Xin was thinking now, he would undoubtedly roll his eyes at her. Who does Liu Xin think he, Xiao Xuyang, is? He wouldn’t have been involved with Lu Xinyi if he didn’t find her amiable.

Being drugged was one thing, but the partner had to be someone he didn’t despise. And what if they did have a relationship? Unless he liked Lu Xinyi, he wouldn’t have taken responsibility, at best offering some compensation.

Of course, that wasn’t how Liu Xin saw it.

"I don’t see anything we could talk about after what you’ve done to me. Liu Xin, I, Lu Xinyi, am not just a dough you can shape as you please," Lu Xinyi was holding back anger as well.
