From abandoned baby to CEO

Sun Xue was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and brushed it off, "Godmother, it's nothing, I was just asking casually. These two seem quite nice... and you treat them very well too..."

"Xiao Sun, to be honest, they are all hardworking and responsible, and they are also good people."

She knew that Madam Lu had spent the most time with these people, and a wealthy woman as approachable and gentle as her would naturally not mistreat them.

She feared that some malicious and deceitful people would take advantage of Madam Lu's kind heart...

She said meaningfully, "Godmother, the fact that you don't have security cameras in your villa shows that you and Godfather trust them quite a bit... From what I understand, wealthy families like yours install cameras inside and outside your villas. It's not just to keep an eye on them, but more to deter thieves and intruders, and also to monitor the work of gardeners, cleaners, and other staff..."

“Xiao Sun, what you said makes a lot of sense. We have installed cameras in key areas outside the villa courtyard, and also on the second floor.”

"Why aren't there any security cameras in the lobby on the first floor?" Sun Xue asked curiously.

Mrs. Lu nodded. "Yes, the housekeeper, cleaner, and gardener all live on the first floor, as do some recreational areas. They used to have security cameras installed, but they broke and were removed."

Madam Lu changed the subject, "However, in all these years, there has never been a theft. As for monitoring the employees' work, there is no need for that. Butler Shi is very strict with his subordinates, and he has managed everything in an orderly manner over the years."

It seems she guessed correctly; Madam Lu had complete faith in Butler Shi.

She could only sneer inwardly. Butler Shi managed the villa perfectly, but he himself was having an affair with the chef and doing disgusting things.

Is a butler of such poor character still worthy of the trust of Madam Lu and her family? Shouldn't they be kicked out of the house immediately?

She could only offer a gentle, indirect suggestion: "Godmother, I think we should still find time to install security cameras in the lobby. People are unpredictable; not everyone is as kind-hearted as you..."

Madam Lu's mind was clearly not on these trivial matters. She sighed, "Little Sun, I was hoping to have Tingfeng come home early for dinner tonight, but who knew he would fly abroad again to handle company business. I wonder how long he will be gone this time?"

Mrs. Lu's brows were furrowed with deep worry. "During my lunch break, I dreamt of your godfather. He woke up, and the first thing he did was hug me tightly, tears streaming down his face. He said he was sorry... I cried too, and I said, 'Huo Hua, you've been asleep for two days and two nights. We were so worried about you! You've finally woken up...'"

As she spoke, Madam Lu became saddened.

Sun Xue was taken aback. Why would Old Master Lu apologize to Madam Lu in his dream?

She then realized that it was just a dream.

She really wanted to say that she also dreamed of Old Master Lu, but the content of the dream was completely different.

She could only try her best to comfort him, "Godmother, don't worry too much, Godfather will wake up."

"Little Sun, I'm so scared..."

"Godmother, you have to be strong. Believe me, everything will be alright."

"I'll start working at the company tomorrow. Nicholas Tse has gone abroad, so I'll familiarize myself with the company's business as soon as possible to help him share some of the pressure. I'll do my best to do the work my godfather assigned me!"

She changed the subject, asking, "Godmother, do you have connections within the police system? We've filed a report, but the approval process for retrieving Godfather's phone records before he fell into a coma is dragging on. You absolutely must take this seriously; I'm afraid things might get complicated if we delay..."

Mrs. Lu sniffed and replied, "I'll contact my cousin to see what can be done about this."

Sun Xue said seriously, "Godmother, we'd better hurry. Only by getting the contents of the call can we find out the real reason why Godfather fell into a coma. If he was framed by a villain, we can bring the criminal to justice as soon as possible."

"I understand, Xiao Sun."

Sun Xue was very anxious!

Having been a full-time housewife for so many years, Mrs. Lu had no idea of ​​the treacherous nature of the outside world or the cutthroat competition of the business world. Furthermore, her years of devout Buddhism had only made her more soft-hearted and kind, leaving her completely trusting of everyone...

The two strolled in the garden for a while. Sun Xue tried to subtly learn more about Butler Shi and the chef from Madam Lu, but Madam Lu's attention was always on Old Master Lu, and Sun Xue did not get many valuable clues.

However, based on Madam Lu's few words, she deduced her own conjecture: six years ago, before divorcing his wife, Butler Shi must have been having an affair with the chef.

For the past six years, they have been living together in the Lu family villa, right under the noses of the Lu family, without the Lu family noticing at all.

Even more dramatically, Manager Shi inherited his father's "fine tradition" and also got divorced.

It really does prove Zhu Biao's words true: "A bastard father begets a bastard son."

With such a chaotic private life, his son probably isn't much better off!

This startling discovery inevitably reminded Sun Xue of Old Master Lu's sudden coma, the series of crises that had befallen the Lu Group over the past year, and Madam Lu's comments about why Old Master Lu's health had been deteriorating over the past year...

Sun Xue boldly speculated: Could it be that all of this is inextricably linked to this father and son?

One is a senior executive in the company, a subordinate whom Lu Huohua trusts very much; the other is the head housekeeper who manages the Lu family affairs and is deeply favored by Madam Lu.

What kind of conspiracy did they have behind the scenes, and what did they do to the company and this family? What caused this wealthy family to suddenly fall into crisis and result in Old Master Lu falling into a coma?

Sun Xue was completely baffled, and at the same time, she felt a chill run down her spine upon closer examination!

Just as she was walking back to the villa with Mrs. Lu by the arm, a familiar car slowly stopped in front of the villa's parking lot, not far from them.

Zhu Biao and Qianqian got out of the car one after the other, and Sun Xue waved to them from afar.

"Godmother, my friend has arrived."

The tall and slender Qianqian was bathed in a golden sunset glow, her long, flowing hair dancing gently in the evening breeze. She stood there in front of the magnificent villa, blending seamlessly with the beautiful scenery, so harmonious and captivating.

Qianqian spotted Sun Xue and rushed towards her with fiery enthusiasm, followed quickly by the strong and muscular Zhu Biao.

"Hello, sis, auntie!"

Qianqian showed no signs of fatigue from the journey, and was radiating irresistible enthusiasm and energy.

Qianqian's appearance immediately brightened Madam Lu's eyes!

Tall, beautiful, and elegant.

Sun Xue quickly introduced, "Godmother, this is my friend Qianqian."

Before Sun Xue could introduce Madam Lu, Qianqian stepped forward and took Madam Lu's arm, smiling sweetly, "Auntie, you are even younger and more beautiful than I imagined."
