President, the deceased lady has three more children

Upon hearing Huang Ying's words, Lu Mingzhu's expression instantly froze. She even forgot to hide her emotions and abruptly looked up at Huang Ying.

Huang Ying was first startled by that look, but then quickly realized that Lu Mingzhu's gaze was not right.

Is it true that Fu Yunchuan has an ex-wife? Then what about Lu Mingzhu? A mistress?

Huang Ying's heart was burning with gossip, and so was Yang Xue's. However, she was not familiar with Lu Mingzhu, and since she came from the worst family among the three, she didn't dare to speak at all and could only wait for Huang Ying to continue asking questions.

Anyway, anyone who asks will find out, so it's better to let Huang Ying ask. She can stay in the background and avoid being resented by Lu Mingzhu.

Looking at Lu Mingzhu now, it's hard to believe she doesn't hold a grudge.

"Mingzhu, what's wrong? Did I...did I say something wrong? Did I ask something I shouldn't have?"

She knew exactly what was going on, but still asked Lu Mingzhu with an innocent tone and expression.

Lu Mingzhu's hand, gripping the teacup, had already begun to turn white at the fingertips, which showed how much force she was using.

She took a deep breath, looked at Huang Ying, forced a smile, and said in a seemingly composed manner,

"What do you think? Do you think there's something I shouldn't have asked?"

"I don't really know how to say it. I just heard someone mention this a while ago, so I only remembered to ask you about it now that I see you. This thing probably isn't true, right?"

Lu Mingzhu didn't know how to answer, but she certainly wouldn't say it was true, otherwise where would she put her face?

"Yingying, if it weren't for the fact that we're good friends, I really wouldn't want to answer this question."

Huang Ying's eyes immediately lit up as she looked at her and pressed, "So? Is this true or false?"

"I think since you and President Fu have such a good relationship, this matter must be fake, right? Whether it's true or not, it won't affect your relationship, will it?"

"Of course," Lu Mingzhu said, raising her chin. "Don't jump to conclusions. If it were really as you know it, do you think it would have been necessary to keep Yun Chuan's marriage so secret?"

"Over the years, let alone anything else, have you seen any other members of the Fu family appear? Have your aunt and grandmother taken anyone out with them?"

Her few words stumped Huang Ying and Yang Xue.

Lu Mingzhu glanced at their expressions and continued speaking.

"Sometimes, trouble comes from what you say; don't listen to what others say."

Her words could be considered a warning. The two might not be afraid of her, but they were afraid of Fu Yunchuan's retaliation, since she had just spread rumors about Fu Yunchuan.

Lu Mingzhu took another sip of tea, using the act of drinking to conceal the emotions in her eyes.

Damn it, how did Huang Ying find out about this?! This matter has been kept secret for so many years, and now it's been brought up again.

Especially now that she hasn't returned, meaning Nanxing has appeared, could it be that someone is deliberately stirring up trouble?

No, Nanxing must be dealt with, otherwise she can't even imagine what will happen to her.

After being warned by Lu Mingzhu, Huang Ying and Yang Xue really didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The three of them were silent for a moment, quietly drinking their tea, but in reality, they were all thinking different things.

Just then, Lu Mingzhu saw Madam Fu and Nan Xing appear hand in hand at the stairwell of the private room she had been staring at.

Seeing the two holding hands intimately again, like a mother and daughter, Lu Mingzhu was still very unhappy, especially since Huang Ying had just asked her if Fu Yunchuan had an ex-wife.

Now, whenever she sees the two of them together, she feels it's a provocation.

Huang Ying followed Lu Mingzhu's gaze and was also somewhat surprised.

It really was Madam Fu. She thought Lu Mingzhu's claim that Madam Fu was here was just a lie, but now it seems that Fu Yunchuan truly treats Lu Mingzhu very differently.

But why is this person next to Madam Fu so intimate with her? Although she doesn't have access to the Fu family, she has never heard of anyone from the Fu family being so familiar with any young woman, except for Gu Nuannuan from the Gu family.

And why does he look somewhat familiar?

“Mingzhu, that really is Madam Fu, but why is the person next to her so close to her? And he looks familiar, like I’ve seen him somewhere before,” Huang Ying said.

Yang Xue did know the people around Madam Fu.

"Isn't this N? The N who used to be very mysterious and never showed his face. He sold clothing design sketches a few years ago, and in recent years he has become the exclusive designer for Starry Sky Company."

"Later, when the boss of Xingchen Company was in a car accident, she revealed her identity and appearance for the first time, saying that she was another boss of Xingchen, and even won first place in the show."

Yang Xue's explanation only fueled Lu Mingzhu's jealousy. Nanxing was not only absent from the family, but also involved with N, and even the Yun family's lost daughter—why did she have so much?! Why?!

After listening, Huang Ying suddenly realized and said "Oh".

"No wonder I said it looked so familiar; I must have seen this information online."

She was abroad, so she didn't know as much as Yang Xue, who was in China, but she still remembered it whenever it was mentioned.

"But how come she's so familiar with Madam Fu? Did they know each other before? Or does Madam Fu want her to design some exclusive clothes?"

As Huang Ying spoke, she looked at Lu Mingzhu and asked, "Mingzhu, do you know?"

Lu Mingzhu smiled faintly, "She did make clothes for Auntie and Grandma. Apart from that, what other relationship do you think they could have that would make them so close?"

After saying that, she got up and walked over.

Huang Ying and Yang Xue didn't suspect anything, nor did they think much of it. They exchanged a glance, got up together, and followed her out.

Regardless, it was a chance to become familiar with Madam Fu, and they didn't want to miss it.

Nanxing and Madam Fu were truly surprised to encounter Lu Mingzhu here.

Nanxing, in particular, felt that she was running into Lu Mingzhu quite frequently.

She even wondered if Lu Mingzhu had deliberately come here to catch them.

The moment Madam Fu saw Lu Mingzhu, her face fell, and her expression changed very noticeably.

"Auntie, Miss He, what a coincidence! I never thought I'd run into you here." Lu Mingzhu greeted them with a sweet smile.

"What a coincidence," Madam Fu replied coldly, pulling Nanxing away.

However, with Lu Mingzhu standing in the middle, and Huang Ying and Yang Xue following along, the path in the middle was blocked, so they couldn't leave even if they wanted to.

Nanxing frowned, and was about to ask Lu Mingzhu and the others to move aside when the two people next to Lu Mingzhu spoke again.

"Mrs. Fu, hello. We are Mingzhu's friends. My name is Huang Ying and her name is Yang Xue."

With smiles on their faces, Madam Fu couldn't keep a cold expression, so she could only nod slightly to the two of them.

"Auntie, are you and Miss He having dinner here? If I had known it was such a coincidence, I should have come over earlier to say hello to you." Lu Mingzhu said innocently, looking very regretful.

Madam Fu's face remained calm and expressionless throughout.

"What a coincidence to run into each other in this place. I wonder if they didn't know or if it was intentional."

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingzhu's face showed a hint of hurt.

"Auntie, you've misunderstood. I really am having dinner here with my friends. We made plans to eat here yesterday. I didn't mean to bother you, and I know you don't want to see me."

"Good to know." Madam Fu said this and left with Nanxing.

Throughout the entire process, Nanxing didn't say a word, since Lu Mingzhu was greeting Fu's mother.

But Lu Mingzhu clearly didn't want Nanxing to leave just like that.

"Miss He, there's something I'd like to discuss with you. I wonder if this is a convenient time for you?"

Nanxing stopped and looked back at her. "If I said it was inconvenient, would you not have said anything?"

Huang Ying noticed N's hostility towards Lu Mingzhu and, thinking that N wanted to curry favor with Lu Mingzhu, decided to stand up for her.

“Miss, Mingzhu spoke to you so politely, is it really necessary for you to speak to her in such a tone?”

She dared not say it to Madam Fu, but she dared to say the N.

Moreover, she had just realized that Madam Fu did not like Lu Mingzhu, and that Lu Mingzhu had only come to wait for Madam Fu because she had listened to Fu Yunchuan's words.

This also proves that Fu Yunchuan really dotes on Lu Mingzhu.

"Yingying, forget it. You don't need to speak up for me. Things between us are complicated. Miss He didn't mean it." Lu Mingzhu pulled Huang Ying's hand and said with a kind and understanding expression.

Nanxing couldn't help but laugh for no apparent reason, then turned to look at Lu Mingzhu.

“Ms. Lu, if you really need to talk to me, you should do it while I'm working, not in public like this. This is my private time. Not only does it lack sincerity, it also gives people a sense of moral blackmail.”

"By the way, if you need to find me, remember to ask for my assistant. If you don't have my assistant's contact information, I'll give it to you now. Remember to make an appointment and wait in line if you need to contact me in the future."

She took out a card from Amy's bag and handed it to Lu Mingzhu.

Lu Mingzhu gritted her teeth and took the card.

What is Nanxing?! You actually need to make an appointment and wait in line!

“And this young lady,” Nanxing said, then looked at Huang Ying, “Don’t let her be used as a pawn.”

Madam Fu was initially worried that Nanxing would be bullied, but after hearing Nanxing's words, she showed a proud smile.

"Let's go. Didn't you say you had things to do? We need to go. Let's not waste time here."

Madam Fu patted Nanxing's hand, which was resting on her arm, and the two left together.

Lu Mingzhu did not follow or stop them; she had already achieved her goal.

Nanxing's words just now really angered her. Did Nanxing think she was some kind of hot commodity? She even needed to make an appointment and wait in line!

Huang Ying and Yang Xue were also somewhat surprised by the situation, but seeing Lu Mingzhu's injured appearance, Huang Ying was actually quite happy, though she couldn't show it.

Lu Mingzhu returned to her seat with the card in her hand. The actions of the group had attracted the attention of others, and now people were frequently looking in their direction.

Everyone knows Lu Mingzhu; after all, she's a big internet celebrity and a young lady from the Lu family.

"Mingzhu, about this matter..." Huang Ying sat down and looked at Lu Mingzhu with a worried and hesitant expression.

She not only couldn't show her happiness, but she also had to comfort Lu Mingzhu at this time.

Regardless of how Madam Fu treated Lu Mingzhu, Fu Yunchuan was genuinely good to Lu Mingzhu.

Fu Yunchuan was in charge of the Fu family, so his attitude was more important than that of Madam Fu.

Lu Mingzhu gave her a bitter smile, "It's best if you keep this to yourselves. Don't tell anyone. It won't be good for anyone if this gets out. I don't want anyone to say anything bad about Brother Yunchuan and Auntie."

Huang Ying looked at her with heartache and sighed, "I didn't expect that Madam Fu really disliked you so much, and even helped outsiders bully you. You've really been wronged."

"There's nothing to feel wronged about, as long as Brother Yun Chuan treats me well."

Lu Mingzhu lowered her head, her whole being exuding a sense of sadness. However, where no one could see, a hint of triumph gleamed in her eyes.

Although she was angered by Nanxing's words, she didn't lose out; it was more like she hurt herself as well as the enemy.

She had just told Huang Ying not to talk about this, but she knew Huang Ying very well; her gossipy and talkative nature was nothing new.

Huang Ying didn't say anything more, but comforted her with a look of heartache. Yang Xue, who was standing next to her, didn't dare to say anything and could only think about what had just happened.

It seems the outside world was right after all; Lu Mingzhu and Fu Yunchuan haven't gotten married because Madam Fu and Old Madam Fu don't approve.

Fu Yunchuan was willing to stand up against his mother and grandmother for so long for Lu Mingzhu, which shows how deep their feelings were.

Seeing the change in Huang Ying's expression, Lu Mingzhu knew that she had achieved her goal.

The more you tell Huang Ying not to tell anyone, the more likely she is to tell.

Nanxing accompanied Madam Fu back to the car, handed her the insulated box he had been carrying, and gave her a few words of advice.

"Mom, remember to keep an eye on Grandma when you get back. Don't let her eat too much. She has a sensitive stomach, and if she eats too much, she'll feel very uncomfortable if she can't digest it properly."

"I know, I'll keep an eye on your grandmother." Mrs. Fu looked at Nanxing with reluctance. "But you, what Lu Mingzhu said just now, you..."

“Mom,” Nanxing interrupted Fu’s mother, “I don’t care at all. Those words didn’t actually hurt me, and she didn’t gain anything anyway.”

Mrs. Fu nodded; she was just worried that Nanxing would overthink things.

Nanxing was worried about Fu's mother, because Lu Mingzhu's reappearance was too coincidental.

"But you need to be careful. I don't know why she suddenly came here to greet you."

"It would be fine if she just came over to say hello, but I'm afraid she might be up to something behind my back."

"Don't worry, she wouldn't dare do anything." Madam Fu didn't seem to care at all about Lu Mingzhu's appearance.

"That's good. I have to go to the company now. Be careful on your way."

Nanxing helped Fu's mother close the car door, and only after watching the car leave did she turn around and get back into her own car, preparing to return to Xingchen.

However, in Mrs. Fu's car, she did not intend to go back, but instead asked the driver to go to the Fu Group.

There were some things she needed to find out.
