The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 744 - 742 I Didn’t Want to Get Involved

She thought he suddenly became so serious to discuss something important and chuckled, saying, "That’s great! Miss Gu mentioned earlier that she was discussing marriage, and I wondered why her parents hadn’t returned yet for such a big matter. Now that she’s like this, it would be strange if they didn’t come back."

Lu Beichen nodded heavily, "Yes, it is indeed good! So, when her parents return, we won’t need to visit her anymore."

"Dad, I now believe you really don’t like Sister Xiyao. It’s just that back then everyone said she was my mother, and I foolishly believed it!" Lu Sinian shook his head, looking regretful for his past mistake.

Ji Niandong found it somewhat amusing but couldn’t help asking, "Her... parents won’t blame you, will they?"

"Xiyao’s father was originally from a collateral branch of the Gu Family, and her mother is Chairman Tong’s sister, Tong Songlin. Thanks to the Tong Family’s assistance, they gained a foothold in Paris and a certain status within the Gu Family. But strictly speaking, my uncle-niece relationship with Xiyao is quite distant. Xiyao grew up with me partly because her father wanted to align himself with me, so they don’t dare to blame me."

So that’s how it is!

At this moment, Ji Niandong even felt a bit sorry for Gu Xiyao. She was a role model, so everything had to be perfect, even her own desires had ulterior or self-serving motives.

Therefore, when news of her suicide was known, it was all ridicule and scorn. If not for the Tong Family stepping in to suppress the news, it’s unknown to what extent it might have escalated.

However, she had been in trouble for so long, and no one from the Tong Family came to visit, perhaps due to concerns about reputation!

Previously, she thought Gu Xiyao was an enviable perfect woman, but now, she couldn’t understand her anymore!

The three drove back to the Lu Mansion. Lu Qingyuan called Lu Beichen to the study, immediately asking about the situation. After Lu Beichen explained everything, Lu Qingyuan was silent for a few seconds before saying, "You should not get involved in Xiyao’s matters. Even if you find out who did it, once her parents return, they will naturally seek justice for her."

"I indeed have no intention of getting involved." Lu Beichen paused, "However, since she said we grew up together, part of the reason this happened is because of me. I naturally want to find out who’s responsible."

Lu Beichen sighed and asked, "You say this because...?"

"Tong Ji Yuan previously visited the Lu Mansion to see me!"

Lu Beichen furrowed his brows, "Is he already so impatient? I owe him two favors now, but I can’t help him against Ji Yang, so has he approached you instead?"

"I’ve been close friends with his father for many years. His father’s death was indeed suspicious back then. Even I suspected it was Tong Songbai." Lu Qingyuan looked into the distance, with a wistful expression, "However, I’ve investigated for a long time, and indeed, it was due to illness. Ji Yuan, this child, refuses to believe this fact and still wants to seek justice for his father."

Lu Qingyuan came back to his senses and looked at Lu Beichen, "This mess is impossible to avoid, but no matter what, do not push him to a corner."

"I have no intention of getting involved in this mess!" Lu Beichen said calmly, "I’m going to rest for now, consider it my New Year greetings to you."

Lu Qingyuan was at a loss for words, "What kind of New Year greeting is this?!"
