From abandoned baby to CEO

Could it be that the little girl is the butler's daughter?

The idea that suddenly popped into her mind startled even Sun Xue herself.

She looked at the little girl again, and the more she looked, the more she felt that she resembled Butler Shi, especially her big, blinking eyes, which were practically a carbon copy of Butler Shi.

The little girl blinked her big eyes and said in a sweet, childish voice, "Grandma, your garden is so big and beautiful, and your villa is so beautiful too, just like a castle in a fairy tale. I love it so much..."

Madam Lu stroked her shiny black hair with a kind smile, "Yaoyao, if you like it, stay at Grandma's house for a few more days."

Upon hearing this, Yao Yao danced with joy, "Grandma, is it really possible?"

"of course can."

"That's wonderful, thank you Grandma! You're so kind, Grandma!"

As she spoke, Yao Yao wrapped her arms around Madam Lu's neck and kissed her with her pink lips.

Yao Yao's adorable appearance made Madam Lu smile from ear to ear.

"Yaoyao, tell Grandma, how old are you?"

Yao Yao raised her chubby little hand and answered earnestly, "Grandma, I'm five years old this year."

She blinked her eyes and looked on with anticipation, "Grandma, Grandpa Shi said that when the snow falls even heavier, he'll help me build a snowman. This is the first time I've ever seen snow, and the first time I've ever built a snowman. Grandma, can I invite you to build a snowman with me then?"

"sure."

"Yaoyao, stop bothering Grandma, come here to Mommy. Madam, it's cold outside, please come inside and warm up for a while, don't catch a cold," the chef said gently and considerately.

Yao Yao reluctantly left Madam Lu's embrace. Instead of going to her mother, she naturally rushed to Butler Shi, hugged his leg, and tilted her head up, her voice sweet, "Grandpa Shi, Yao Yao's hands are so cold, Grandpa, can you warm them up for me?"

Butler Shi bent down, cupped Yao Yao's soft little hand in his palm, and said kindly, "Yao Yao, are you warm now?"

Yao Yao nodded vigorously, "Yes, Grandpa Shi's hands are so warm, like a little stove. Grandpa Shi, I want you to play with me in the garden again, okay?"

"Okay, Grandpa will play with you."

From her vantage point, Sun Xue could see the faces of Butler Shi and Yao Yao perfectly; their eyes were remarkably alike.

Her heart skipped a beat, and the suspicion resurfaced in her mind.

Looking at the adorable Yao Yao, Madam Lu couldn't help but sigh, "Butler Shi, Yao Yao has such a sweet tongue. Look at her eyes, and how she clings to you."

Butler Shi gently stroked Yao Yao's nose with his finger and chuckled awkwardly, "Madam, this little one is clever and mischievous, loved by everyone, and I have a special connection with her. I also enjoy playing with her."

Seeing Yao Yao, Madam Lu couldn't help but feel sad. When would she have such a lovely grandson as Yao Yao...?

Sun Xue noticed that when Yao Yao was snuggling in Butler Shi's arms, the chef next to her looked at Butler Shi with eyes full of happiness and a slight smile on his lips.

That look in his eyes was filled with a strong sense of ambiguity.

Sun Xue accompanied Madam Lu towards the villa. She couldn't help but turn back, and the harmonious silhouettes of their backs came into view once again:

The chef nestled close to Butler Shi, while Yao Yao rode on Butler Shi's shoulders, excitedly spreading her arms as snowflakes danced in the air—a truly touching scene.

Sun Xue stared blankly for a few seconds, then looked away and frowned, asking, "Godmother, is Yao Yao also five years old?"

Mrs. Lu's thoughts were still immersed in the scene she had just witnessed, and she murmured to herself, "Yes! She was chubby and had such a sweet mouth. I also like little girls, and I hope that Nicholas Tse can fulfill this wish of mine in the future..."

Sun Xue didn't have time to think about Madam Lu's words; her focus was entirely on Yao Yao and Butler Shi.

She suddenly remembered the phone call between Mr. Lu and Xiao Di, in which Xiao Di told Mr. Lu that their child was five years old.

Could it be that this Yao Yao is the child from the phone call?

But she quickly dismissed the idea; she remembered that the child who called out "Dad" on the phone was clearly a boy.

What is the relationship between that boy and Yao Yao?

She carefully recalled Xiao Di's voice on the phone and compared it with the chef's voice. She vaguely felt that Xiao Di's voice and the chef's accent were somewhat similar, but they didn't seem to be the same person...

She was completely baffled, feeling that there was some connection between Butler Shi and Old Master Lu's coma, but she didn't know where to find the clue...

Back at the villa, she winked at Zhu Biao, signaling him to come upstairs with her.

Once inside the room, Sun Xue closed the door and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, don't you think the chef's daughter, Yao Yao, looks a bit like Butler Shi?"

Zhu Biao frowned, thinking hard, then shook his head indifferently, "I didn't pay much attention, but that little girl and Butler Shi have something in common..."

"what?"

"They are all very good at talking. Even such young children know how to please the lady."

Sun Xue scoffed, "That's because of her mother and Butler Shi's influence."

"Uncle, I always feel like Yao Yao is Butler Shi's daughter."

Zhu Biao looked at Sun Xue in surprise, "No way!?"

Sun Xue explained her deduction, "Think about it, Butler Shi came to the Lu family six years ago, and the chef came five years ago. The chef's daughter is five years old this year, which means they started having an affair five years ago, the chef got pregnant, gave birth to Yao Yao, and then the chef divorced her husband..."

"Good heavens, it means the chef husband not only got cheated on, but also raised Butler Shi's child for nothing for several years. What a terrible man!"

Sun Xue pondered for a few seconds and said, "Uncle, here's what we'll do. Yao Yao is going to stay here for a few days, right? Try to get close to her and see if you can find out about the chef's husband and his family from her."

Zhu Biao nodded. "I'll give it a try."

"By the way, have you noticed anything unusual about Butler Shi and the chef these past few days?"

Zhu Biao shook his head. "They seem to have quieted down these past few days."

"Uncle, I feel like Butler Shi installed surveillance cameras on the first floor of the villa. Ever since you discovered their dirty deeds that day, Butler Shi seems to have become more vigilant. It's very likely that he's started to be wary of us. We'd better be careful in the future."

Zhu Biao broke out in a cold sweat. "No... is this Butler Shi really that insidious?"

"What do you think! And that chef, don't be fooled by her gentle and well-mannered appearance, I bet it's all an act. They're the perfect example of 'colluding in evil'!"

"Xiao Sun, now that you mention it, I feel like there's a pair of eyes watching us from the shadows of this villa. It's giving me the creeps..."

Sun Xue voiced her deepest worry, "Uncle, Butler Shi and the chef are colluding, along with his bastard son, Manager Shi. There must be some ulterior motive behind it all. I even suspect that everything that happened at the Lu Group, and Old Master Lu's coma, was orchestrated by them..."

Zhu Biao looked astonished. "Ah! Is it that serious? What are they trying to do?"

"In my opinion, they've been planning this conspiracy for a long time, and they should be making their move now. As for their target, it's definitely the Lu family's wealth!"
